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.
Each and every time I fill up my jeep when the gasoline automatic pump dispenser shuts off I get splashed with gas and it goes all over me and my vehicle. This is a safety problem that jeep should fix. There are safety bulletins out on this problem on several models of jeeps.
