Consumer Description

I OWN A 2011 JEEP COMPASS FOR 2 WEEKS WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, STOPPED AND TOOK OFF. ONCE I TOOK OFF THE JEEP ENGINE JUST STOPPED. I COULDN'T TELL IT UNTIL I TRIED TO TURN AND HAD NO CONTROL! THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED AN UPDATE CODE, THAT THEY DON'T HAVE YET FOR THE 2.4L ENGINE. SO NOW I HAVE A CAR WITH LESS THAN 2600 MILES ON IT IN THE SHOP THAT WE CAN'T DRIVE. WHY WOULD THEY SELL A CAR THAT SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON AND THEY KNOW ABOUT IT? I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. NOW WE ARE IN A RENTAL. THANKS JEEP. *KB
