I have 4 recurring problems with my jeep. first, the driver's heated seats periodically will not work. second, upon starting my car, it will just stall or shut down. this happens 2 to 3 times a week. third, the check engine light continuously comes on and off (and when i get it checked, i am told something about the thermostat, but have had no problems with it overheating). finally, the cruise control on/off button will not work sometimes. i have to physically hit the steering wheel for it to work. i have read about tons of recalls for my year jeep, but my vin number is not included. i am starting to think it should be.
