To start i still don't have my license plates, which tells you how new it is. the gearshift doesn't light up and if it does it flickers when i switch gear from p to r to d or wtvr i need to do there is no indication on what gear i'm in. i'm assuming it's electrical which isn't a good sign. jeep brand isn't doing good. also when i lightly tap my gas it makes the sound of acceleration but it's not actually doing so. i have to take my foot off the gas for the system to i guess catch up with the speed i'm trying to get to and this is on the city street . i will update on 10/3 if my car comes back from the dealership by then.
After getting off of the highway and coming to a stop at the light, i went to turn and my car stalled out as i was turning. i was on a one lane overpass with no way to pull over. it wouldn't even register that i was trying to turn off my vehicle for a minute. i was finally able to restart my car and keep driving.
Update to my previous complaint: i leased this car on january 12, 2019. it is brand new. the car was having trouble starting again today and yesterday. i turned it on the normal way and it was fine in park, but when i switched to drive it shut off. the d started flashing (again) so i put it back in park, and the console told me to press the brake and press stop/start, which i did attempt but the brake was locked and this did not work. the red lightning bolt and check engine light both came on. the red lightning bolt warning light indicates a problem with the electronic throttle control. it also stalled and was hard to steer as usual now, though putting it in 4wd makes it a bit easier to control. i am now even more scared to operate this vehicle and feel like it is going to fall apart while i'm driving.
I bought this vehicle at hawk chrysler dodge jeep 7911 w roosevelt rd, forest park, il 60130 on 04/8/19 . i drove off the lot without a proper explanation/presentation of my vehicle, no one went over the features with me. when i arrived at home, a family member pointed out that the lcd screen qhere the mileage is displayed was not working. at first i thought it may turn on with one of the button on the vehicle because i've never owned a vehicle like this. after 10 -15 minutes of playing around with buttons i couldn't figure it out and called the dealership, the salesperson said to bring it back for an update. on the way back to the dealership i got into a car accident because i was on my way back to the dealer and i did not realize how fast i was going since mileage was not displayed. now, i have damage on the front driver side of the vehicle less than 24hrs later. it is now 04/23/19 and the vehicle is under the dealership possession because the part to the lcd screen is on back order. according to the salesperson, i just needed an update, wrong.
