IT IS A HUGE SAFTY ISSUE THAY CAN NOT FIXXX......

THIS IS A FOLLOW ON TO A COMPLAINT FILED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I CAME HOME FROM A BUSINESS TRIP ON 4/5/2016. I STARTED THE JEEP IN THE DAILY GARAGE AT BWI AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE STABILITY CONTROL AND ENGINE. THE GEAR INDICATORS (P, N, D, ETC.) WERE FLASHING AND IT DID NOT RECOGNIZE WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE A GEAR, AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT OVERNIGHT STILL RUNNING. THE DEALER FINALLY GOT IT TURNED OFF BY PULLING A SENSOR ON THE FUEL PUMP. AS OF TODAY, 4/28, IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. THEY HAD REPLACED THE VALVE TUB BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW PLANNING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, SUPPOSEDLY IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, BUT AS OF TODAY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT HAD JUST OVER 500 MILES ON IT WHEN IT FAILED, BRAND NEW, AND HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP LONGER THAN I'VE OWNED IT.

THE SUMMIT MODEL IS EQUIPPED WITH DRIVING SENSORS THAT ACTUATE THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING. WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHICH HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE BRAKE ALARM GOES OFF AND THE BRAKES SUDDENLY ENGAGE. I HAD THE 2015 MODEL (FCA REPLACED UNDER LEMON LAW) AND THE ALERT SYSTEM NEVER WENT OFF. (VIDEO AVAILABLE)
