Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES NOT GO WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. THE BRAKES DON'T PROPERLY WORK, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOCK FAILS, THE ESP LIGHT FLASHES, THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILS, AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE OVER 5 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE YET TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I FEAR IT MAY HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE, AND DOESN'T ALWAYS CORRECT ITSELF. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY TOLD ME I'M ON MY OWN. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND WONDER WHY THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEAR I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND I'VE ONLY BEEN IN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD?
