One day, it just stopped working in the middle of the street, on my way from work. This incident occurred twice. I only had the car for a year and couldn't understand why this happened. I called Jeep customer service who explained that it may have been an issue with the key. The next day, my vehicle completely stopped working. I had it towed and taken to the dealership where it was diagnosed to have an issue with the tipm. I had to pay money I shouldn't have had to spend to get it fixed. I later discovered so many other complaints about this issue. There's a very recent, August 2014, lawsuit pending in federal court relating to this issue,.
