I was pulling into the gas station to get some gas. I'm used to use a 2-ft drive so what I could not lift my left foot to put pressure on the brake I used my right foot. It slipped off the brake and after the accelerator and I hit a small Pole stopping me from going into the gas station front door. Just could have been raised up to a work accident I had a couple weeks prior.

I would be driving down the road and my jeep will shut off all by itself and then turn back on all while driving down the expressway doing 75mph my steering wheel and lights and breaks would all lock up then the jeep would just pop back on and then the RPM's would be really high so I would have to hit the breaks to slow way down so my jeep wouldn't blow up on me . I've taken it to like 5 mechanics and they can not figure what's wrong with it . Then also I can get in my jeep and start it and my radio and backup camera won't work and some of my gages wouldn't register when I start it ups don't start going down the road so I will have to pull over shut my jeep off and pull the key out and open the door to make sure everything is off then put the key can in and restart it and sometimes it will work and sometimes I will have to do it a few times to get it to work .

Jeep is having electrical issues. It will randomly go into limp mode at start, but turning it off and restarting it fixes that issue. It's done this three times in the 2 years we have had it. I am now having an electrical issue where something is causing a draw on the battery while the vehicle is turned off. I have had to replace the alternator, starter, and now the battery.it is causing the battery to swell, and the jeep is having to be jumped to start multiple times a week. The battery was put on a deep charge, and it had to be jumped the next day. Also the air conditioning back lighting goes off and on when you turn the knobs or adjust the fan speed while both driving and stationary. This has been going on for roughly a month.

The jeep has electrical stuff happening sporadically and does not start but with power but after 3 to 6 attempts starts right up. I turn key all power and bells go off and it makes a humming noise and 1 click noise dash says ' transmission over temp' the jeep is cold so not over temperature. I've seen a lot of post about recall and also about ignition switch or module. I've only owned for 2 years and dealer said car had no recalls when I purchased. This happens stationary and also after driving about 20 minutes to destination and when I went to leave it took several times before starting. This has been going on for last 3 days but few messages randomly popped in information center few times before this had at dealer on computer no codes said it was okay

The heat of the summer months tend to make the car engine sputter as you head down the road. This happpened again yesterday only this time as we prepared to make our turn the vehicle totally shut off, allowing me to loose control of the steering we were fortunate no one was behind us or pulling out where we were turning . We would have either been rear ended or would have run into any car waiting to turn.
