What owners wrote
While driving the vehicle on the highway the front frame broke and the cv and front drivers side wheel fell off the vehicle, I had to wrestle the vehicle off the road. The vehicle has had to have both front and back replaced with several other parts the dealer had broke in the process of "fixing" it
Problem recurring on highway and city streets. At all speeds from idle to 75 MPH. The latest was on highway driving 75 MPH car dropped down to 30 MPH and then stalled causing me to lose power steering and braking and almost an accident. The problem is well known to the jeep manufacturer as stated by dealership. They said the throttle body/ software is the issue and occures in models from 2008 - current then verbally quoted me $650 for repair.
