VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING AROUND PARKING LOT VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH ALMOST TO THE POINT OF STALLING. BECAME VERY HARD TO DRIVE INCLUDING LOOSING STEARING AND BRAKE FUNCTION CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND COMING TO A STOP INTO A BUSH. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH AT THE TIME, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRIC SYMBOL. DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON REPAIR THEY HAD SEEN MANY TIMES. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHICH LEFT ME WITH A $1000 REPAIR BILL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. CALLED UP JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNWILLING TO COVER ANY COSTS OF THE REPAIR OR ADMIT THERE WAS ANY ISSUE. THANKFULLY THIS ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN TO GO OFF. RPMS WERE RUNNING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. AFTER THE SENSOR TRIGGERED TWICE, NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN RMPS RUNNING HIGH. 5 DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL WARNING LIGHT, UPON STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND RESUMING ACCELERATION, CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, THEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, THEN TRACTION CONTROL. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR HAD TO DECELERATE OR STOP AND THE RPMS DROPPED BELOW 1. AT ONE POINT, IT STALLED. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IF YOU WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CONTINUOUS GAS THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR IS THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

SEATS
AFTER BEING PARKED FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS, I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEADREST FELT WRONG. WAS NOT DRIVING YET. JUST SITTING IN SEAT. A QUICK INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE DRIVER'S HEADREST HAD SPONTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED WHILE PARKED, LEAVING IT SPLIT IN TWO PIECES. THE VEHICLE, OF COURSE, IS FIVE YEARS AND ONE MONTH OLD, SO OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR OF THIS MANDATORY SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT IS DEFECTIVE. ALSO DANGEROUS IF IT HAD DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IN SEAT. SHOULDN'T THIS BE SUBJECT TO AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY UNIT ON THIS CAR AT 75,000 MILES. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. 3 LIGHTS CAME ON: THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE), AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. MY CAR COULD NOT SURPASS 30 MPH WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WAS JERKY AND WOULD JERK FORWARD EVEN WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING/KNOWN ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL OF THIS SPECIFIC PART IS NEEDED.

POWER TRAIN
EVERY SUMMER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVE 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AND IM FORCED TO THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN CHICAGO ONCE WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO THE THRUWAY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. THE CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND IVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CAR AND ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IM LOST AT THIS POINT. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT JEEP WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING WITH ME. PLEASE HELP

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
JEEP WAS SKIPPING WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN, IT WAS JUST MOVE SLOWLY. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST , HE TOOK IT OUT OF MY CAR FOR DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE HE CLAIMED HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BY DRIVING OR COMPUTER. CHARGED $840 AND STATED THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE REPAIRED IT HAD TO BE REBUILT. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE PRICE QUOTED. THEY PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN MY TRUNK.

ON THE HWY THE TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS ISSUES ACCELERATING AND WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT CLICK SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO START AND FINALLY DOES. THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON. AND JUST OVER ALL JERKY AND LIGHTS DIM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ROLL-OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK BECOMES STUCK OPEN AND THE GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL. IF THE CAR ROLLS OVER, ALL THE GAS WOULD SPILL OUT. THE ONLY FIX ACCORDING TO JEEP IS FOR ME TO PAY $1600 FOR A NEW GAS TANK FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL USE OF THE CAR.
