| Description of the problem | My jeep is currently back at the dealership for the second time because the esc turns off/on own its own. The first time this happened, the abs and check engine lights came on and stayed on. The dealership said it was a faulty sensor and replaced it. Now a few months later it is doing the same thing again, and now the windshield wipers come on when i use the left/right turn signals, turn the headlights on, and sometimes just driving down the road. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. The dealership service manager stated to my husband that its not safe for the vehicle do this. However, the dealership says that the vehicle does not display an error code, and they cannot recreate these issues. Vehicle also makes a grinding noise when turning and the steering feels very vague and bouncy. These issues happen randomly during both city and highway driving. My jeep is a 2014 compass, fwd, 5-speed manual transmission. It has been at the dealership for over a week this time. The esc issue is a safety issue, as well as, the wipers. It seems to be an electrical issue and makes me wonder if the airbags, abs, cruise control, etc. Are at risk of failure to operate properly. |
