Consumer Description

APPROX 4 MONTHS AND 3700 MILES OF HAVING MY 2012 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED, DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE WARNING CHIMES WERE ON, ALL GAUGES DROPPED AND CONTINUED TO FLASH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE LIGHTS REMAINED FLASHING AND FLICKERING FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 20 SECONDS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 30 TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN REGULARLY AND AFTER SHOWING THEM 2 VIDEOS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NOW AT 47000 MILES MY WARRANTY IS GONE AND THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIRBAG REMAINED ON. I DON'T KNOW IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED OR ARE SEPARATE, BUT NOW IT KIND OF "SPUTTERS AND PUT-PUTS" WHEN ITS IN PARK AND WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP WANTS $150.00 JUST TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE FAULT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE; IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD, IS GARAGE KEPT, AND NOT USED EVERYDAY. I DON'T WANT MY JEEP TO CATCH FIRE OR CONTINUE TO PUT ME AND MY CHILDREN IN A POSITION WHERE WHEN COULD GET HURT BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THESE ISSUES ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
