Consumer Description

1ST MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING STARTING ISSUES. THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED TWICE AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE WIRING HEADING INTO THE FUSE PANEL IN THE ENGINE. WHEN I MOVE IT AROUND IT STARTS SOMETIMES. AND ALSO WHEN I PUT BLACK TAPE AROUND THE WIRES IT SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUES FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. THE PROBLEM IS U NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GONNA START OR NOT. NOW MY ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL AND ESP/BAS WARNING LIGHTS ARE COMING ON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING HAYWIRE AND FEELS LIKE ITS ONLY RUNNING ON 1 GEAR PLUS WHEN I REVERSE IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING GRINDS IN THE GEARS. HOWEVER WHEN THOSE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF EVERYTHING SEEMS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. RECENTLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP WARNING CAME ON AND MY AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AND SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT THEN IT FELT LIKE THE CAR DROVE ALL THE WAY HOME USING 2ND GEAR ONLY IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FROM READING OTHER ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING ONLINE ITS OBVIOUS THIS MODEL IS HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO CORRECT. I AM A JEEP LOVER BUT THIS MODEL HAS COMPLETELY MADE IT DIFFICULT ON ME SINCE ITS MY ONLY CAR AND ITS SO UNRELIABLE. I DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW SO THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN UNFORTUNATE FOR ME
