SUPPOSEDLY SOME RODENTS OR SOMETHING CHEWED THE WIRES IN THE JEEP AND THE EVAP, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SOY USED IN THE WIRING. THIS RESULTED IN THE FUEL GAUGED INDICATING IT WAS EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK AND MADE IT FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NOT SURE OF HOW DANGEROUS OR HAZARDOUS THIS MAY HAVE BEEN BUT IT WAS ALARMING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY USED THE SOY WIRES.

THIRD OCCASION THAT I WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND IT MALFUNCTION WE GOT IN THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND TURNED THE CAR ON AS HE PUT IT DRIVE AS WE WERE LEAVING THE FRONT OF THE CAR LIKE THE WHEELS MADE A POPPING SOUND AND THE ENGINE GOT REALLY LOUD. THE ENGINE NOISE ONLY LASTED ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND WENT AWAY. MY HUSBAND DID TELL THE DEALER WERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND ALSO JEEP/CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. THERE IS A LIQUED COMING OUT OF THE BRAKES OR CALIPER THAT ITS YELLOW, THAT IS NOT SAVE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AS WELL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OR IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD US THE CAR MENTIONED TO MY HUSBAND THAT THE CAR IDLES AND THAT CAR DOES NOT DO THAT. ALSO WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO DETECT ANY OBJECTS NEAR IT AND MAKE A BEEPING NOISE WHICH DOES NOT HAPPEN AT ALL.THEN WE TOOK IT TO THREE DEALERS TWO OF THEM WHO DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND ONE OF THEM DID FIND THE ISSUES WE HAVE STATED. THEY TOLD US THAT THE WARANTY DOES NOT COVER THE ISSUES. MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE.

DOORS DON'T STAY IN AN OPEN POSITION WHEN GETTING IN & CONSTANTLY FALL SHUT ON ME & MY BABY WHEN TRYING TO LOAD HIM INTO CAR. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED & THEY DON'T REMOTELY CARE ABOUT MY ISSUES NOR DO THEY SEE THAT ALL MY DEALER VISITS AS UNACCEPTABLE. I DIDN'T BUY A NEW CAR FOR CONSTANT DEALER VISITS & NOW I AM STUCK IN A UNSAFE UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WON'T BUY BACK & THE NEGATIVE EQUITY IS SO BAD ON THIS VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T TRADE OUT OF IT WITHOUT A MAJOR LOSS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY OTHER JEEP VEHICLES THAT HAVE SOME OR ALL OF THE SAME SOFTWARE ISSUES AS MINE. WORSE BUY EVER!
