ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SERVICE SHIFTER MESSAGE KEEPS APPEARING ON THE DASH AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER WILL TURN RED. HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A DAY (SOMETIMES 4-5 TIMES) AND TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP (NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG). IT CAN ALSO SOMETIMES HAPPEN WHEN YOU TAP THE SIDE OF THE CONSOLE. FORUMS ONLINE SUGGEST THAT THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE WIRES FROM THE SHIFTER KEEP BUMPING INTO CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SHORTING (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T68742_DS990296). I AM STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT IT IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD.

HAVE NOT OWNED VEHICLE FOR A YEAR YET, BOUGHT WITH ABOUT 1000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY SOMEBODY IN DEALERSHIP FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD. AT 11,677 MILES THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" WARNING SHOWED UP AND SHIFTER PANEL LIT UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND STAYED THAT WAY UNTIL I TURNED THE JEEP OFF A FEW MILES LATER. HASN'T SHOWN UP AGAIN AND I'M TAKING IT TO DEALER TOMORROW. IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS SINCE IT HAPPENED BUT I'M AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS FOR JEEP. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR - THEY NEED TO FIX THIS!!! I'M GETTING THIS DOCUMENTED NOW!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS COMPLETING A TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT COMPLETELY OFF CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A CURB. VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS ADVISED THIS HAPPENED DUE TO A SAFETY FEATURE OF MY CAR . WHEN THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL WHEN YOU TURN IT THROWS OFF THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SO THE ENGINE DOESN'T BLOW UP . MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN FEB MY CAR IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AND NO CHECK OIL LIGHT APPEARED .
