dashboard had check engine light on. transaxle indicator light turned on when i was driving about 65 mph on the freeway and slowed down and wouldn-??t accelerate. The large commercial truck behind me was unable to stop on time that it almost hit us behind. There was a construction on my right lane and cars on my left lane. it took me some seconds to reach the end of construction site in my right lane. A second or two more not changing lane to my right side would have hit me and my children. All the truck driver was able to do was pressed on the horn to make me aware that he is too close behind me. Changed of speed in a freeway that fast could have killed me and my kids. i have not been able to drive in the Freeway with this car and even if i get it fixed, I still won-??t feel safe to drive it. The car runs fine when the transaxle light doesn-??t come on. certain movement, light turns on and off.

Check engine light came on paid $800 dollars to resolve issues, I am still having problems with check engine light. A few sensors(oil, heating etc) were replaced, O2 sensors were replaced. I was told that it could be the vehicle's computer system. This is creating a very serious headache problem. I tried with numerous car repair shops and they don't seem to pinpoint the problem. They check the codes and their response is "it appears that this is whats wrong with it, but there is no warranty, that we can resolve the issues.

I purchased the vehicle used in April 2016. In June 2016, my headlight stopped working correctly. It would turn on and off on it's own while I was driving. After about 6 weeks of the car being in and out of the shop, due to the light working on it's own and them not having the same experience I was having, they finally see what's been happening and they determined that the tipm failed, and replaced it. Feb 2017, my wipers began turning on and off on their own, or just not working at all. They would go on while I was driving, not shut off when the car was shut off, and at times the switch would not even turn them on when I needed them. I brought the car back to the dealer, and they have again determined that the tipm, which is less than a year old, has again failed. They have not determined what is causing the consistent failure of the tipm, and have had it for a week now.

My vehicle started losing power intermittently. It would remain running, but would not respond to acceleration and the electronic throttle control light would flash. At first, this was an intermittent problem, solved by pulling over to the side of the road, turning the car off and restarting it. Eventually, this became an everyday occurrence, until eventually, the car would not even start due to this problem. I had to have it towed to the dealership, and they replaced the throttle body assembly, which solved the problem. I have noticed several recalls for this exact problem for my year and make and model, but the database states that my VIN number was not included in the recall. This is a safety issue, as I have had to pull over on the side of the road several times in fast-moving traffic on narrow shoulders.

I was driving into the parking lot at walmart and the car actually turned itself off. I coasted into the parking spot and waited a few minutes. I turned the ignition again and the car turned on and then turned back off. I call aaa and they towed the car to ntb. They hooked the car up and stated they couldn't find a problem. They started the car and it started fine. After I left, I got maybe 3 miles down the road and the car turned off. I called ntb and they were ice enough to come to where I was. They were able to start the car; however, as soon as he backed up to turn around the car stalled again. He told me to leave the car, but it's hard to do that when they themselves don't know what's wrong and have no clue as to the cost. We sat for 10 minutes and the car started with no problem. I drove home with no more incidents. For the next 4 days nothing happened. On the 5th day, in traffic on 459N which is heavy and crazy, the car just shut off again almost causing the car behind me, who was too close anyway, to hit me. I pulled over and had the car towed home where it's sitting now. I have gone out to crank it and it turns over, but I'm not driving it. I have an appointment this Saturday to take it to a Jeep dealership on grants mills way to see if they can find exactly what's wrong wit this deathtrap. After looking at forums online, this is a huge problem. It's not just me.

Believed to be a faulty ignition switch. Dashboard lights will flash on and off, rpms, speedometer, etc. Will drop to zero, after returning to normal, airbag light will stay illuminated. Key doesn't always read to unlock. Has a couple instances where key would turn and click but car wouldn't turn on when wheel wasn't completely straight.
