Consumer Description

PURCHASED A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 LATITUDE. HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT. TWO WEEKS INTO OWNING IT ON HARD TURNS THE BATTERY LIGHT AND DASH WOULD LIGHT UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD BE MAKING A TURN (IN DRIVE) AND WOULD FAIL ACCELERATE OR CONTINUE IN THAT GESR CAUSES IT TO STALL INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN LOOSE STEERING CONTROL. THE CAR WOULD THEN SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IT WAS TURNED OFF. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL 3 OR 4 TIMES. IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON THE ENTRANCE TO THE HIGH WAY. THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FOR A COUPLE MILES AND THEN STALL OUT AGAIN. NOT A SAFE CAR AND DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ST HIGH SPEEDS.
