Description of the problem	Purchased vehicle 8/9/08. At this time only problem we was you had to press clock button for radio to work.

Used car dealership had car towed to jeep dealership in new london. These repairs cost $500. 12 for faulty crank sensor, sensor crankshaft, spark plugs, leak at trans electrical. August 17, 2011 took to a new dealership w/ same problems. Went to valenti jeep in mystic, ct. Was advised junction block needed to be replaced and codes in multiple modules reset-this cost $318. 52. September 10, 2011 back to valenti jeep for same problems & for install. Of junction box costing $249. 00 because of installation costs & other items we were advised to take care of. Meanwhile as a warning this all begins after check engine light starts flashing. By september 28, 2011 it begins again: at this time check engine light & all other lights start up again, along with fact that you can now pull key out & vehicle is still running. Blinking dash lights, ac on & off, gauges drop to 0, told only reason this is happening is because we have remote start system they don't use.
