To start I still don't have my license plates, which tells you how new it is. The gearshift doesn't light up and if it does it flickers when I switch gear from p to r to d or wtvr I need to do there is no indication on what gear I'm in. I'm assuming it's electrical which isn't a good sign. Jeep brand isn't doing good. Also when I lightly tap my gas it makes the sound of acceleration but it's not actually doing so. I have to take my foot off the gas for the system to I guess catch up with the speed I'm trying to get to and this is on the city street . I will update on 10/3 if my car comes back from the dealership by then.

After getting off of the highway and coming to a stop at the light, I went to turn and my car stalled out as I was turning. I was on a one lane overpass with no way to pull over. It wouldn't even register that I was trying to turn off my vehicle for a minute. I was finally able to restart my car and keep driving.

I bought this vehicle at hawk chrysler dodge jeep 7911 w roosevelt rd, forest park, il 60130 on 04/8/19 . I drove off the lot without a proper explanation/presentation of my vehicle, no one went over the features with me. When I arrived at home, a family member pointed out that the lcd screen qhere the mileage is displayed was not working. At first I thought it may turn on with one of the button on the vehicle because I've never owned a vehicle like this. After 10 -15 minutes of playing around with buttons I couldn't figure it out and called the dealership, the salesperson said to bring it back for an update. On the way back to the dealership I got into a car accident because I was on my way back to the dealer and I did not realize how fast I was going since mileage was not displayed. Now, I have damage on the front driver side of the vehicle less than 24hrs later. It is now 04/23/19 and the vehicle is under the dealership possession because the part to the lcd screen is on back order. According to the salesperson, I just needed an update, wrong.

Update to my previous complaint: I leased this car on january 12, 2019. It is brand new. The car was having trouble starting again today and yesterday. I turned it on the normal way and it was fine in park, but when I switched to drive it shut off. The d started flashing (again) so I put it back in park, and the console told me to press the brake and press stop/start, which I did attempt but the brake was locked and this did not work. The red lightning bolt and check engine light both came on. The red lightning bolt warning light indicates a problem with the electronic throttle control. It also stalled and was hard to steer as usual now, though putting it in 4wd makes it a bit easier to control. I am now even more scared to operate this vehicle and feel like it is going to fall apart while I'm driving.
