Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 100 TIMES WHERE MY JEEP HAS STALLED AND JUST STOPPED RUNNING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE SLOWED DOWN, AND HAS STOPPED IN INTERSECTIONS. IT HAS STOPPED WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP ETC. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. IT SCARES ME , AND MAKES ME FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I HAVE CHANGED THE WAY I DRIVE BECAUSE OF IT, WITH THE FEAR OF WORRYING MY JEEP WILL JUST STOP RUNNING , WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE SWITCHES IN THE CAR NOT WORK, AND FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. LIGHTS STAY ON, WHEN TURNED OFF, AFTER TURNING THEM OFF NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY FINALLY GO OUT. I HAVE HAD MY BREAKS RESPOND ODDLY, AND GET WEAK. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER NOT COME ON, THEN TURN SWITCH AGAIN AND IT WORKS. HAVE HAD DEFROST SOME ON WHEN DEFROST WAS OFF. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, MALFUNCTION. I DON'T BOTHER WITH JEEP, AS MY MILEAGE IS OVER 36,000- NO MORE WARRANTY, BUT THESE THINGS BEGAN, ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO INTO JEEP OWNERSHIP. THESE PROBLEMS USED TO BE INFREQUENT, BUT NOW THIS POWER FAILURE HAPPENS OFTEN. SOME DAYS IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER, I DO NOT WANT TO BE INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE'S HURT ,BECAUSE OF IT EITHER. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, IT IS COMMON. I ALSO HAVE A WHISTLE IN THE BRAKE LINE, VACUUM I THINK??? IT CAUSES THE BREAKS TO NOT BE STRONG AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES COMPLETELY REPLACED AND THIS CONDITION PERSISTS, IT ALSO SEEMS MANY WITH MY MODEL OF JEEP EXPERIENCE THIS AS WELL. ALL OF THE HINGES ON THE DOORS ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT, AS WELL, I SEE THE PAINT BUBBLING UP . *TR
