IT GOT 7 PROBLEM ISSUES AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL DUE TO ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILED WHILE DROVE ON FREEWAY AND TOW TEARDROP (1400 LBS) . MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT, TRACTION ON (COULD NOT TURN OFF), ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVE POPPED UP ( COULD NOT TURN OFF), SERVICE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING LIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL FAULT WARNING LIGHT, SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, SERVICE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WARNIING LIGHT (ALL OF THEM POPPED UP THAT COULD NOT TURN OFF). I WENT TO JIM CLICK JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND I FEEL THAT MY TRUCK IS "LEMON" I TOLD THEM TO FIX ASAP BUT THEY CAN NOT FIX AND HAVE TO WAIT TILL AUGUST 9 (APPOINTMENT) TO CHECK WHATS WRONG.

There is one safety recall on the truck that jeep won't fix 22V-767 its been almost a year and there still isn't any fix. There is also an EMISSIONS RECALL Y81 that they also won't fix that is preventing me from smog and registering the vehicle in California.

Starting in August of 2022 I started getting error messages from the car about Electronic Stability Control, Antilock Brake Systems, and Collision Avoidance problems. These seemed to come and go. But if I was on the highway with Cruise Control on and these messages appeared the car immediately drops out of Cruise Control. In addition if it happened while braking the pedal would go almost to the floor and I would have to pump several times to get the brakes to work. I took this car to the dealership on 10/3/2022, 3/20/2023, and 5/20/2023. In the first 2 instances I was told the part would be available within 6 weeks. For the last instance I was told the part would be in in 2 weeks. That was over 6 weeks ago and still Jeep has been unable to provide the part. Being unable to provide a part so key to many safety systems represents a significant safety concern.

This vehicle is equipped with remote start as a factory option. I was checking things under the hood, with the keyfob in my pocket. The start button must have inadvertently been pressed. To my surprise, while I was poking around under the hood, the engine started. Luckily, I heard the fuel pump and other electronics power up and got clear of everything, but I was quite surprised to have the engine start while the hood was open. I thought there was supposed to be an interlock that would prevent this. I could have been seriously injured if my hands would have been near moving parts and I not noticed an imminent engine start. I will be contacting my dealer to investigate, but thought I would report it here, too. This situation should never happen.

Multiple attempts to correct “death wobble “. Problem began in March 2023. Available for inspection upon request.

Problem confirmed and multiple attempts to repair were made by Jeep dealership. No inspection by anyone besides the dealership service department. No warning lights activated.

The wire harness for the doors, which are designed to be removed easily, doesn't function properly causing pins to become bent when being reinsert. This causes several systems to malfunction and alert improperly. The blind Spot assist and cross rear warning is affected. This a common and known problem amongst Jeep owners who removed their doors.
