While I was driving the ABS bas esp stopped working and the lights came on. We were living in ft wayne indians at the time and without those features this jeep is flat out dangerous. I had the wheel speed sensor replaced twice but that wasn't it. One dealer rebuilt all four of my brakes and purged the system. That didn't work. I paid four different dealerships over 3800$ plus rent fees. It still is t fixed.

On crowded city street applied brakes as someone was starting to cross street in a crosswalk. Engine started to rev up and car would not stop. I went through the crosswalk and managed to stop safely. Tried a few slow speed stops, and car seemed okay. Then a few minutes later at another crosswalk applied brakes. Engine revved up. Had both feet on brakes. Rear brakes seemed to fail. Rear tires started to burn rubber with loud squealing noise. I was able to shift into park. Engine slowed down and was able to drive off afterwards. Made it home (9 miles). Did a few slow stops on the way. Brakes worked okay and engine did not rev. Very concerned about any further driving of this vehicle. Pedestrian lives definitely were in danger.

My anti skid, ABS, and esp lights are on. The cruise control is not working. Also, at about 50 MPH, my front end acts up. I am told that this is a known problem with the clock spring.
