| Description of the problem | When i apply the brakes the front end shakes pretty badly. I also have an issue when i excellerate moderately the vehicle seems to take off leaving me feeling out of control and having to take my foot off the gas and watching the rpm hit 6000. I have also had issues with the transmission and a total of 5 recalls. I have had time in court trying to fight it using the lemon law but lost because of not having an attorney and a transmission specialist i couldn't afford either. I notice my problems at 1900 miles but i lost because they said i used it for commercial use which i don't because i don't have it registered as a commercial vehicle i just drive a lot for work at the time. This vehicle has caused me loads of stress since i bought it and feel very unsafe driving my kids around. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated i'm at my wits end. I bought my jeep early in 2013 so i feel its one of the first jeep off the assembly line with lots of issues. Thanks |
