Key will not turn. Stationary, turn steering wheel and key will turn. One time refused to turn. Had car towed.
My vehicle is stalling and jerking when I'm driving no indicator lights are on.
I have to wait between 10 to 30 mins before I can try to start my car and also it will start with the remote but when you go out the key in it turns off and I would have wait longer for it to start by key I haven't had my Jeep that long I only had it four months and now I am having problems with it.
Since beginning of 2018 my Jeep has stalled while the car was in motion and I was driving. I brought it to dealer on 2/15/18. Dealer says it could be from low oil. When he checked the oil the oil level was good and clean. He recommended to change the oil anyway. Which I did. Again Jeep stalled 2 times while in motion and I was driving. On the dashboard the word esc appears and after I restart the engine it disappears. I have not seen a pattern wether it be my speed, turning or stopping at a light. Went back to dealership on 4/9/2018. Service manager checked car by plugging it in for diagnostic test. Only stored codes appeared. No code to show problem. I was told I have to wait about month for a loaner in order to leave the car at the dealership for further review. Driving this Jeep is very concerning to me. I never know when and at what speed and if it will turn over.

Takata recall. At random moments without hitting the wipper switch at all the windshield wipers will come on. This has happened multiple times. Sometimes if I turn my blinker on which is a opposite stick they will activate. When this does happen my lights will flicker very briefly. I have had no kind of alterations done to the vehicle cosmetic or electrical so I have no clue what is causing this. And yes every time it happens it's while the vic is in motion.
