NHTSA complaint #11152813, filed 2018-11, 97,839 miles“The vehicle cruise control malfunctions: now even pressing set at least while driving over 40 MPH makes the vehicle accelerate fast even to 80 MPH so I press brake pedal which does disengage cruise control. Even if you turn cruise control off and then back on it keeps on happening every time you press set. I disconnected power to the cruise control.”

Vehicle does not want to move then told it's in some sort of safety mode I think the lead frame is failing from what I can tell. Vehicle sitting at a stoplight fails to accelerate barely moves”
NHTSA complaint #11081998, filed 2018-03, 99,000 miles“This vehicle has numerous recalls related to all the problems our Jeep has. There is 0 recall for our VIN. The vehicle surges when driving up hills. The car won't start sometimes because the shifter control thinks it is in drive when it is in park. The cruise control does not work and the 4 wheel drive kicks in when driving at high speeds and jumps the car.”
