 Description of the problemOn july 16, 2015, with about 5,000 miles, the electrical system failed and the vehicle was towed to my dealership. On july 21, 2015, we learned that it had lost the key and done nothing to repair it. On july 22, 2015, it was towed to another jeep dealership. On july 23, 2015, we were advised that the problems were caused by a bad battery. On july 25, 2015, when we went to pick it up, it would not start even with a new battery. On july 27, 2015, we were told that another new battery had been installed. On july 28, 2015, we picked up the vehicle but on august 14, 2015, the electrical system again failed and it was again towed to the second dealership. On august 17, 2015, we were advised that the vehicle had been repaired by replacing various electrical components. On september 15, 2015, the electrical system again failed causing the abs and awd systems to rapidly cycle on and off; the transmission to rapidly shift through both forward and reverse gears; and for the vehicle to lurch forward and backward. A third jeep dealership refused to service it because of its history. On september 17, 2015, the vehicle was again towed to the second dealership. It had only 5757 miles on the odometer. On september 24, 2015, we were told that the dealership thought the problem might be with a crash sensor and proposed that the sensor be disabled. On september 25, 2015, after we objected to disabling a safety sensor, we were told that sensors had been ordered for the adaptive cruise and speed controls, but as of today, the dealership has not repaired the vehicle and is uncertain whether it can repair it. The vehicle has been at a dealership 25 out of the past 72 days. The dealership has not repaired the vehicle; will not say that it can be repaired; and will not say that it will be safe to operate. Jeep refuses to help. We don't want to die in this vehicle. Please help us.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
