Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT FLASHES AND I'M UNABLE TO USE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE. MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT STOP SIGNS, ON ITS OWN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE RENEGADES. THIS IS SUPER DISAPPOINTING AND UNSAFE.
