Description of the problem	After having my brand jeep for less than 2 months, the service park brake, anti-lock brake, and traction light went off while driving. My car then proceeded to jerk while driving so i pulled over and turned the car off. Upon restart of the jeep, all the lights were gone and the jeep drove fine. 5 to 6 months (around march 2017) later the lights went off again while driving and the wheel became stiff and hard to turn. Since the light went off after turning the car off and back on before, i did that but the lights stayed on. I called to schedule an appt with the dealership then the lights went off. The lighst stayed off, as the appointment was 2 weeks away, so i cancelled it. As a single parent i cannot afford to waste money for a diagnostic that would not show an error because the malfunction lights were off. In august of 2017 the lights came one again, the wheel became hard to steer. These lights stayed on for 2-4 days then went off. This occurence happened again in between as well my sons bday weekend february 2018. My parents were driving the car and this made them uncomfortable. Since then the lights came on more frequently, using go off within a day or 2, only to come back on again. In the past 3 weeks the lights have come on daily, cut off while driving, and cut back on. The brakes now make a vibrating sensation when driving, and 3 times when backing up the parking brake engaged itself. In the history of ownerhship of this vehicle i have used my parking brake maybe 3 times. I am frustrated with this vehicle that i purchased brand new with 7 miles on it to being experiencing so many problems. I have owned the vehicle since sept 2016 (not even 2 full years although this problem started early on) and only have 25k miles on it.
