POWER TRAIN
2ND TIME MY TRANSMISSION STALL WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. I HAD TO MOVE OVER THREE LANES TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF I15 N WITH VEHICLES COMING UP TO 70 MPH. HAPPY TO BE ALIVE AND THAT I WAS NOT HIT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO ME AND IT SEEMS LIKE JEEP IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILL TO FIX THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CHRYSLER/ JEEP KNOW THAT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND DO NOT CARE TO FIX IT. TOOK IT BOTH TIMES TO DEALER AND "IS NOTHING" IS WHAT I AM TOLD EVERY TIME "IS A FLUKE IN A CODE" "JUST PULL OVER AND LET IT COOL EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS" AND WELL "WE DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT". THEY ONLY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE FLUID BUT DID NOT WARRANTY THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE KEEP ON COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AND, WELL NISSAN WHO USES THE JATCO CVT IS FIXING BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION COOLERS AND FIXING THE ISSUE. JEEP/ CHRYSLER JUST DOES NOT CARE ABOUT IT CUSTOMERS AND TELL US "IS NOTHING" NEVER EVER BUYING A JEEP AND/ OR CHRYSLER IN LIFE! WILL GLADLY TRADE-IN SOON AS I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY LIFE AT RISK GETTING HIT ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH BY ANOTHER CAR. WHAT WOULD I TELL THEM SORRY I AM DRIVING 30 - 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY BUT MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND IT STALL ON ME. NO THANK YOU!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MAYBE 5 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING MY GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. I END UP SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS UNABLE TO RESTART MY CAR OR PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO BELIEVES IT IS A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE/SENSOR.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 5 OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AROUND 70MPH, THE CAR STARTS TO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN WITH NO INDICATORS ON THE VEHICLE SHOWING ANY ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 55MPH - YOU HAVE TO UNDERTAKE AN EMERGENCY MOVE INTO AN INSIDE LANE IN ORDER TO BE IN A SAFE LOCATION AND EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT WILL NOT GO OVER 55MPH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WILL THEN START TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, IT HAS ALMOST CREATED A S SITUATION WHERE THE CAR HAS BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND MY VEHICLES BEHIND DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKE INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE OR REPRODUCE IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WCM/SCREEM MODULE. CAR WOULD NOT START. WAITED AND HOUR THEN IT STARTED. CAR IS LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAD JUST TURN VEHICLE OF TO DROP A O PACKAGE AND CAR WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCK AND WHILE WAITING TIRED SEVERAL TIMES. COULD SEE I HAD EL ECTRICITY SO IT WAS NOT BATTERY. BUT STARTED WOULD NOT CRANK. AFTER AN HOUR IF CLICKING REMOTE KEY LOCKS ON AND OFF AND TRYING TO START VEHICLE IT CRANKED. READ ON LINE THIS WCM/SCREEM ISSUE, BUT SEE NO RECALLS ON FIXING IT. IT'S A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE NOT IN A SAFE AREA AND CAN'T START CAR.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SUSPENSION
IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL. I CONTACTED JEEP - THERE STILL ISN'T A FIX. AIR BAGS & SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ARE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER IS A NEW DRIVER & I'M SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY & IT IS NOT SAFE. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION - IT'S NOW RATTLING UNDER THE FRONT TIRE.

ON THE WAY BACK FROM MY TRIP THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PERFORMED A DOWNLOAD AND SAID 'NO FAULTS ARE STORED IN THE SYSTEM'.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING. EACH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY REFUELED, BUT NOT TOPPED OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS OF DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ISSUE REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK IN ORDER TO BE RESOLVED.
