Consumer Description

JEEP DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY ELECTRICAL FAULTS WHICH CAUSE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES AND REPORTED TO NHTSA DATABASE. I REPLACED A BRAND NEW FACTORY BATTERY PER THE DEALER RECOMMENDATION AFTER A FULL SYSTEM DIANOGSTIC WHICH REVEALED NOTHINHG. BUT ONLY TWO WEEKS AFTER THE DIANOSTIC, I HAD TO REPLACE A DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE; AND CURRENTLY THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT IS REVERSED. I THINK JEEP HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAULTS WHICH THEY ARE DENYING FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS I AM READING ONLINE. *AK
