Description of the problem	Since i purchased this jeep, it intermittently will not start--typically in warm weather. We replaced the ground on the battery, purchased new battery, starter, neutral safety switch and all transmission sensors. Still, it will not start in warm weather. We literally have to wait until the outside temperature cools, then the jeep will start. I researched the issue on-line and found many consumer references to this problem for this vehicle--commonly referred to as "the jeep flu." many report either the neutral safety switch or the tipm is the issue. Many references complain that chrysler is fully aware of the problem--tipms on back order--but they are silent. This jeep has stranded us many times--which can also cause significant harm for consumers. Chrysler should acknowledge this problem and provide a fix!
