I have problem and I need to know about this vehicle
- Seattle, WA, USA
My 2018 jcg altitude edition with 16000 miles has been having issues with radio and navigation. Cjdr replaced stereo system which fixed the navigation issue but now radio turns up and down on own. Took car in today and there is no fix. They told me when it occurs to turn my car off and then back on which will help it temporarily. The period of which it will help is less than 1 minute before it repeats the volume issue. However this is not acceptable. Vehicle has been shifting very hard and lunging forward without foot on gas, they 're-flashed' my Jeep twice. Saying my car needed to relearn my driving. I was told by my service technician that he would call when they had some solution.

The vehicle is brand new and a few months after purchasing it the vehicle would shut down electrically (twice while driving) and the steering wheel and brakes would lock up. Since purchasing the vehicle in November of 2017 I have had 4 to 5 separate occasions where the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership in Jeep/Chrysler in libertyville, Illinois. I made verbal complaints after the second and third time. I was told after the last issue the problem was resolved and no more issues would occur, about 10 months later the issue has occured once again for a fourth time. I have son that I pick up on the weekends which requires me to drive on the highway. My fear is that the electrical will go out and my son will be hurt in a car accident due to the steering and brakes locking and no way to stop the vehicle safely. The occasion where is was driving the vehicle starting going haywire, the dash lights were flickering and different signs were coming on and the brakes became very hard to press until I couldnt any longer and the steering became really hard to move until it eventually locked as well. On 9 April 2019, the last of the few issues that has happened to this vehicle it was stationary and it wouldnt start and the electrical started acting up with the dashboard giving me the same messages from the last few times that the situation had occurred.

While driving around a curve, steering control went out and traction control kicked on. This caused an inability to properly control the vehicle. Traction control pulled vehicle into the side of the road and caused a minor accident.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 35 mph uphill, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond. As a result, the vehicle traveled across the highway and crashed into an embankment. The ABS and skid control indicators illuminated. The front passenger and driver side air bags deployed. The contact sustained rib injuries, which did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (crowe auto group, llc, 303 tenney St, kewanee, il 61443, (309) 852-2188) where it was diagnosed that the rear passenger wheel was corroded. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,558.
