“While I was driving the ABS bas esp stopped working and the lights came on. We were living in ft wayne indians at the time and without those features this Jeep is flat out dangerous. I had the wheel speed sensor replaced twice but that wasn't it. One dealer rebuilt all four of my brakes and purged the system. That didn't work. I paid four different dealerships over 3800$ plus rent fees. It still is t fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11052132, filed 2017-12, 200,300 miles“Esp/bas, ABS and skidding vehicle icon lights came on in the instrument cluster! The cruise control stopped working. This is the same issue we had on our 2007 Jeep wrangler, which I filed a complaint with the NHTSA, which issued a recall on our Jeep. The clock spring module, located under the steering wheel, controls, the ABS, esp/bas, cruise control, horn, and air bag! This is a safety issue and should be recalled, like my 2007 Jeep wrangler was!”

When I press on the foot pedal the car jerks and it speeds up by itself. Couldn't get my key out after it was put in park. Press on brakes and still couldn't get them out. The shift lever moves without pressing on the button that supposed to lock it in place. The date that I put in is for the shift lever which still isn't fixed yet .the other things been going on since I bought the car .”
