What owners wrote
Car stalled 6x with my 4 and 5 year olds in the vehicle. Smoke billows out of back of car. Ignition coil, spark plugs, filter and oil replaced. 9/2/14 car shifting incorrectly. Computer system reset due to transmission issues. Customer told to bring back after drives 500 miles for oil consumption test. 9/29/14 oil consumption test failed. Pvc intake valve replaced. Dealer to drive car 250 miles and test oil consumption again. As of 10/3, no resolution. Customer has requested replacement from manufacturer.
After filling gas tank, jeep will unexpectedly lose power and shut off. This happens several times. Accelerating and pumping gas to keep it running will speed the process of returning to normal operation. Gas is never overfilled. Once pump shuts off no additional fuel is added at pump. Took to dealership. They charged over 900 to replace the ECM. Problem repeated on next fill up. This problem is widely reported on the internet even though dealership denies any knowledge of problem
