| Description of the problem | Have had the jeep for only 3 weeks now and on the second week the "engine light" turned on, took it to the dealership and was told it was due to not closing tight the gas cap tight when i put gas but the thing is that "i" had not even fueled it because i did not have the jeep long enough to need to fuel it up. The "sespension", steering is very wobbly to and from any where i drive it in town or city and more so when i drive it on the freeway, it is a task and sruggle; arms and hands are sore after i get home for me to try to keep it steady , if i do not stay focus and hold tight onto the steering wheel when driving it , the jeep will go on either to the left or right. I have to be very extra focused and careful when changing lanes as the manouver when doing so or streering to drive/changing lanes is not pleasant nor steady but wobbly and if i do not hold on tight to the steering wheel, the jeep will go off the road. The "breaks", when i break, the jeep is late in stoping, i have to calculate to break way ahead in order not to hit the vehicle in front of me also when starting back up from my foot on the break, it does not take off as soon as i let off the break as i expext it to but jerks instead taking time to drive on and move. Also when turning to the right or left, the suspension feels like the street or road is really bumpy when its not. Regret buying a jeep. |
