My wife was taking our grand daughter to the hospital at 10 pm and every dummy light came on the jeep and it started idling funny the taillights went out so she had to drive that late at night with no brake/ taillights on 69 with our granddaughter in the back. With nothing working what would keep somebody hitting her in the rear end or even worse what if something had happened and the airbags didn't deploy because there was an electrical problem. My wife has called chrysler jeep and made a complaint and they say that there is nothing they can do about it. We have looked online and found quite a few complaints about this particular problem with jeeps. This is not the first time this has happened either.....it happens on a regular basis. I fear for the safety of my family whenever they are driving. We bought this vehicle about 6 months ago with 100,000 miles on it and purchased the extended warranty. We have taken it to the jeep dealership 3 times and they keep saying nothing is wrong with it. My wife has several videos of everything going haywire in the jeep while she was driving. Anything the federal safety agency can do to help us out on this matter would be greatly appreciated especially before one of my family members get hurt. Thank you kevin
