| Description of the problem | My vehicle will sometimes not go when i press the gas. The brakes don't properly work, the 4 wheel drive lock fails, the esp light flashes, the traction control fails, and it makes it difficult to drive over 5 miles an hour. I have yet to be in an accident, but i fear it may happen. It happens immediately after starting to drive, and doesn't always correct itself. I contacted jeep and they told me i'm on my own. It is a known issue with these vehicles and wonder why they haven't recalled them to fix the problem. I fear i'm stuck with a lemon vehicle, because the transmission has already been replaced and i've only been in possession of the vehicle for 10 months. What are my options moving forward? |
