When driving and need to make a left turn, the Jeep loses power and the stability control light blinks.. it is a severe safety issue as I have almost been rear ended several times. It is a known issue by Chrysler Fiat but they are doing nothing to fix it as it is in Jeep forums everywhere. I feel it is time for a class action lawsuit, before someone is seriously injured or killed.

The vehicles traction control light comes on during normal driving causing loss of throttle an power making you exit to shoulder or sometimes after 10 sec or so the power will return. Car does not die it just takes throttle control away while traction light flashes. This is all during normal dry conditions and normal driving. I have also seen a huge amount of this same issue on the forums. My vehicle has been in the dealership service department four times and they have no fix yet. It is very unsafe and my wife is afraid to drive her brand new Jeep. It's really ridiculous that we have to deal with all this an no one seems to care until someone gets killed because of the issues. And if this doesn't get corrected someone is going to get hurt or killed in a car accident. This problem occurs on a regular basis but it's hard to recreate on the spot so it's impossible to get the dealer to believe it is happening but if you search the web there is tons of info on this issue.

The stability control light randomly flashes and I lose power to the car. It happens during dry conditions and more frequently when turning. I have almost been in an accident twice because this. It has been occurring for months now and I have taking it to the dealer twice but they say they can't find anything wrong with it. No codes or star cases have been reported but the car it not right. I'm don't feel safe driving it but I am not sure what to do now.

Violent rumbling noise and vibration when letting off the gas between 30 and 20 mph. Can be made to go away when in manual mode or when traction control is turned off. This happens every time we drive the car.
