What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2017 jeep cherokee. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The driver lost control of the steering and crashed into a ditch. During the incident, the brakes and steering wheel malfunctioned and would not operate, and the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was destroyed. The driver sustained injuries to the back and both knees. Medical attention was not received. A police report was filed. The cause of the failures was not determined.
My service shifter light has came up 3 separate times. The last time it came on, my jeep took itself from drive to park while I was in motion, locking up my tires and steering wheel. I could not get my park back into drive, and it caused me to slide off the road. It has happened on 3 separate occasions. I have also had my bluetooth and my radio malfunctioning. It changes stations and volume by itself, switches between am and FM and changes volume randomly. My u connect bluetooth stopped working entirely.
