What owners wrote

I purchased my jeep in april of this year. The 1st week I had it, it seemed to be be loosing power so I put it in the shop to have it repaired. This went on for several months. The jeep stopped several times while I would be driving on the highway with my children. Despite the many advances of putting it in the shop, the problem never seemed to get fixed. About 3 weeks ago, I was on the highway with my 3 year old daughter and my boyfriend when it lost power to the point it shut off again.
