What owners wrote

This cars tipm system is extremely faulty I've had it fixed 3 already and it still acts as of it is possessed. This happened on the freeway where the car started going off by it's self stalled and couldn't do anything about it. I almost died. There has been many complaints about this vehicles tipm system but jeep refuses to recall them. Also the airbags do not deploy. This is a huge safety issue
