| Description of the problem | The past four years i have experienced multiple issues and safety concerns with this vehicle. The vehicle unexpectedly shifts into neutral, lurches forward and even stalls out. Multiple times i have been unable to restart the car. This has happened on highways, back roads residential streets. It is vey unpredictable. The steering wheel locks up. I have had it towed to the dealership and have brought it in multiple times. I always get the same response. "we can not duplicate your concerns.'now all of a sudden there is an actual recall for the complaints i have been reporting for years. I have had two cases with chrysler jeep, however they do not seem to understand that four years of dealing with an unsafe car is a complete joke. The car is in the shop again. I do not have any confidence that this issue will be resolved. |
