What owners wrote
On friday, 07.07.2017, as I was driving into a turn lane from the hwy, I had slowed way down for traffic then picked up speed slightly, not even 10 MPH, to follow cars in the turn lane when the accelerator became sluggish and the jeep came to a stop. As I pressed the accelerator again there was a very loud pop from under the hood. Everything quit, the engine, the electric, the starter would not turn over when I tried to start it again or the emergency flashers.
The sky skyder wouldn't open anymore. I can't afford to fix it and jeep did not care to help. There are thousands of complaints and I do not know why it is not in recall!
