Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR EXACTLY 3 MONTHS..... FIRST THING THAT WENT WRONG WAS THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC BAR BROKEN AND FELL OFF AFTER I OPENED MY TRUNK. AND THE BIG ISSUE.. MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, IT STARTED ON THE TURNPIKE AND THEN CONTINUED ON THE CITY STREETS. I FINALLY WAS A BLOCK FROM THE HOUSE AND I HAD COAST INTO MY DRIVEWAY.THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS IT JUST SHUTS OFF. WHEN I GO TO TURN IT BACK ON IT REVS UP REAL HIGH AND THEN IDLES LOW. MY CAR IS 3 MONTHS..... ONLY HAS 3800 MILES ON IT... I DIDN'T PAY 29K FOR A BRAND NEW CAR FOR IT TO HAVE TO BE IN THE SHOP BECAUSE SOMETHING IS ALREADY WRONG WITH THE ENGINE... THIS DOES NOT REFLECT WELL ON THE JEEP RENEGADE... *DT*JB
