THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM.

Problem still not solved. I keep bringing into the dealership. It has been towed, driven, etc. Data recorder.

New ignition installed, new wires installed, relay switch installed, now they want to try to replace the fuel pump. They are just guessing, they have no solution to this problem.

Time to go drive my death trap....doesn't start sometimes, and they can't figure that out...TODAY, while I was sitting in traffic on 95 my Jeep just accelerated out of nowhere; and I had to slam on the brake and skid off the highway to avoid hitting another vehicle. Now I have no headlights, and no turn signals. No digital speedometer, thankfully, cars still have the traditional speedometer. Let's see what happens this time around.

Your right, Route 1 Jeep, there is nothing wrong with my vehicle and it's safe to drive...maybe Chrysler will get their act together and learn from GM! Reading me instructions on how to pull my car off the road in case of engine shut down is UNACCEPTABLE! How do I handle the sudden acceleration and lack of blinkers and lights?
