“My car leaks during rain from the sunroof to the blue hose drain and flooded my car. Which messed up the electrical system. I'm having problems with my car saying it's over heating but it's not it's the electrical system telling the computer in car that it's how when its not and now my transmission is messed up we think. My car is currently at Jeep dealer in cerritos, ca for 2 days now and no one can tell me what wrong.”

“Intermittently but frequently the ABS and other dashboard lights come on and the car drags and stops in the middle of the road. Its very dangerous. Sometimes I cannot get the car to go without sitting and waiting for long periods of time. It has happened since I have owned it but no one can diagnose it and I don't know when it will happen.”

“While driving my car it simply cut off - went dead. I had to pull off the road with no power steering. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. Once off the road - I am able to put the car in park and restart. This happens for no reason. I have had the car in the shop several times with no explanation what is happening.”
