Every time I turn my vehicle on and the a/c unit is on my car begins to make a squealing sound. This happens when I'm at a stop light or idling and I have my air conditioner on.
Vehicle was purchased brand new off the showroom floor in July. In December it began stalling at odd times and not wanting to restart. Week before christmas the oil change indicator came on. I thought nothing of it and figured I would schedule it as soon as I could after the holidays. The vehicle began stalling shortly after the oil change indicator happened. I thought it was because I did not let the vehicle warm up long enough and it was very cold outside. Nope. I was on my way to the gas station and the vehicle stalled in the intersection and refused to restart. I was almost struck several times. It took 5 minutes to restart the vehicle and it was making noises like the engine did not want to turn over and catch. I finally got it out of the road and into the parking lot of the gas station. It sat for a few minutes and then restarted reluctantly. I filled it up with gas and it took several tries to get it to restart. A week later I was coming home from work and it stalled on me leaving the parking lot, I had literally driven 500 feet. When I restarted it, the vehicle check engine light came on and the red "power reduced" light was flashing on the dash. It would not go over 25 mph. I was able to get it to a parking lot a little ways up the road and let it sit for about 20 minutes. It restarted with no problems, the reduce power light was gone, the check engine light was still on, and I was able to drive it at a normal speed the rest of the way home. I started it again the next morning. No issues, check engine light is still on. As of this writing, I have had the vehicle for 6 months and it has 8100 miles on it. I bought it new off the showroom floor. If the reports I keep seeing on here are accurate, I will be trading it in for something else ASAP.
As I was driving my Jeep made a noise and started to overheat. I had it towed to the dealership and they informed me that it would be $600 to replace. I researched this and there are hundreds of affected Jeep owners. There is no recall but my car could have caught fire. It's outside of the basic warranty as well. This needs investigated ASAP!.
