Consumer Description

WITHOUT WARNING ... HORN STARTS BLOWING, WINDSHIELD WASHER COMES ON, LIGHTS FLASH, DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK, KEY SWITCH OFF DOESN'T STOP THE PROBLEM, SO FAR HAVE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND OPEN THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. RECONNECTING THE BATTERY SOMETIMES WORKS BUT THE HEATER/AC STOPS WORKING... THIS SITUATION IS A REAL ROAD HAZARD!!! AFTER AWHILE THINGS WORK OK UNTIL IT REPEATS. VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO BE ON THE ROAD. JEEP SERVICE PEOPLE RESPOND BY SAYING THAT THAT THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG! WELL SURE, THE EVENT IS OVER WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE "FIXED"! BASIS FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR SURE! VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED.
