1 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2020

Vehicle will not start everytime and once it's jumpered to another car it starts no problem. Sometimes it will start then immediately just die. Vehicle has never stalled while driving. I bought it Dec 2019 w/ 102k, it now has 120k I drive 400 mi/wk for work. I had to buy an extended warranty because of the miles and the warranty CO. Is saying they won't fix this air bag module and seat belt issue as well. This car needs to be bought back by the dealership. The dealer has all paperwork because they still have my car.

2 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2020

While driving my car on the highway the battery light came on. After a few minutes all of the other lights, seatbelt, engine, etc. Started to flash. Then my air conditioning turned off, my brakes stopped working and my power steering went out. Luckily I was pulling off of an exit. After finding out that there were 5 recalls, I took the Jeep to a dealership to have them fix it. I picked it up a few days later after they said it was ready. The day after picking it up. . . I was again driving down the highway and the Jeep did the exact same thing!!! again luckily I knew the signs and pulled over quickly but still lost control of the vehicle because power steering and brakes went out.

3 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

Check engine light would come on intermittently the last 5 months. Took to the dealership and auto zone for a code reader a few times and they were unable to pinpoint the exact problem because the engine light would disappear or multiple codes would appear. The vehicle would at times seem to lose power especially going up hill whether it was on a city street or highway. I finally was able to get a true diagnostic test done on 6/15/19 when the engine light was still showing on my dashboard. They code reader gave p0128 so I ended up having to get my thermostat gauge replaced and total repairs with diagnostic were $309. 15. I found it frustrating and unsafe that for 5 months the engine light would intermittently appear. After a trip out of town and drove a total of close to 1200 miles, the light stayed on. At this point, it is when I decided to take it in to the dealership before the engine light disappeared. I also noticed that the seatbelt warning light would not always alert if a passenger did not have theirs on. I tried to go back and select the seatbelt problem selection, but it would not allow me to.
