    Car turned off suddenly after idling at red light. "High coolant temp" warning light and others flashed briefly in dashboard. We could not move or start the engine at all. After about 2 minutes the car was able to be turned off and on and was driving normally without any dash warning lights, and we could not figure out the reason for this. It has happened before while idling.

    Vehicle has intermittently turned itself off while driving, locks the brake, and will not restart for a few minutes. Causing a serious safety concern as its happened while driving down the interstate. I have taken it to two different repair shops that can not find a cause. Currently the Jeep will not turn all the way on saying electronic brake engaged, but will also not turn off saying the car is not in park.

    The touch screen stereo that also houses the back up camera is going out at only 40,000 miles. This controls many functions and randomly stops working and works again. It first started one month ago but is not fully out. It will have lines through the screen then they go away on their own.

    The component that is failing is the interior screen. It is glitching alot to the point I can't change the station or use the screen for assistance when backing in to parking spots. My safety was at risk when I was backing up then all of a sudden it started glitching. I brought it to the dealerships attention but I haven't been to my scheduled appointment yet to get the matter fixed. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or other representatives. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms that led up to the glitching issue with the screen. The glitching been happening for about a month now.

    While driving vehicle, warning lights came on stating "Stop Safely Vehicle will shut off soon". There was no other indication of any issue with the vehicle. The engine then shut off in the middle of the road with no power steering or any other features. Safety was put at risk not being able to control vehicle while driving in the middle of the road. Vehicle restarted 10 minutes later with no issue. Warning light issue repeated itself a week later.
