Description of the problem	While driving on highway the engine lurched forward and died in the middle of traffic, i was lucky i was not killed. Called dealer and they towed it. After keeping it for weeks with no loaner, they told me the transmission had to be replaced, this is the fourth time they replaced the transmission and it is very dangerous. Every other jeep owner i know has had failed transmissions. It is not safe for my kids and family. The company lies to sell cars and never fixed the problem. I owned other 2014 and 2015 of same model and they also failed and i reported it several times but they keep on selling it. Dealers always lie and want to sell you a timebomb, count your blessings because the transmission is going to blow up sooner or later. I work at a jeep dealer and know first hand and most of these models are towed back with broken engines and transmissions. Do not buy or recommend this car! It is dangerous and the design is bad! Most the longterm magazine reviewers are liars, because real owners are unhappy with this junk. It is not a real jeep and looks terrible like a nissan juke. Stay away from this garbage!
