ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A DING ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STALLS, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN THE CAR WORKS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, ACCORDING TO JEEP THEY CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN MY TYPE OF VEHICLE BUT JEEP HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AS FAST OR FASTER THAN ME AND COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A WINDOW WENT ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN AND STOPPED. COULD NOT GET IT TO GO UP OR DOWN AFTER THAT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. WE WONDERED IF IT WAS THE MOTOR. WE WATCHED A VIDEO ON THE INTERNET ON HOW TO CHECK IT AND IT SAID TO CHECK THE WIRES BEHIND THE DOOR PANEL BECAUSE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE TO HAVE BROKEN WIRES AND LOW AND BEHOLD THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WINDOWS NEED TO OPEN AND CLOSE.
