Patriot

Going to Pennsylvania from Georgia, wheels locked and ABS, traction and 4 wheel drive light came on. Speed limit was 70, my car just locked the wheels. Went to a dealer got problem fixed. Then coming back from Florida on 5/ 25/2019. Same thing happen again. This time the wheels locked and I slid until the car stopped. I'm a disabled veteran, have seen unsafe things. This is going to kill someone. The mechanics tell me Jeep knows this is happening. God help us that drive these vechiles. To poor to buy a new one
