After driving several minutes on a city street, multiple dash light come on, ABS, traction control, esp, and bas. This happens once a week. This problem seems to occur on days above 75 degrees. From the research I have done. I believe its the steering angle sensor / clock sensor. This appears to be a common problem as it was easy to find the information on utube.

1. Seat belt will not latch in rear driver seat to properly restrain child. Chrysler will not cover so child is being latch with a rear driver side shoulder belt connected to the middle seat latch. 2. Wheel speed sensor has been replaced twice, causes ABS, ESC and 4wd to stop working. This happens typically while driving either residential or highway roads, random times, temperatures and speeds. 3. Door lock actuator has stopped working for the forth time which prevents child safety lock from working. The door cannot lock/unlock other than manually compressing the lock from the inside of the door therefore I have to climb in the back seat to unlock the door or risk my child opening the door while driving. The other three door lock actuators have been replaced, not covered by warranty. 4. The clock loses a minute to two minutes a week. 5. When the car is in off position and keys removed from ignition, the vehicle has electrical surges through the console after sitting for several minutes. The battery has not been run down, I'm not sure where the power is coming from. 6. The vehicle started to lose power on highway and stopped shifting from park to drive, at 80,000 transmission work had to be performed to properly run without risk.

On 4 separate occasions while driving my vehicle the ABS system on the jeep turns on and my car comes to a stop. I am unable to move the car and I have had it towed to the jeep dealership to be looked at. My car has been in their shop 4 times for service. Each time I am told the problem has been fixed and each time it occurs again. This issue is an extremely dangerous situation as my car literally is unable to move and comes to a complete halt. It has occurred while driving on the highway , at an intersection, and driving up hill. The dealership is unsympathetic and I am unaware as how to proceed. Thank you.

It was light to medium rain while stopped at a red light where traffic took off and had to stop soon after. As soon as I hit my brakes the ABS kicked in increasing the stopping distance of my jeep causing me to rear end another vehicle. At the same time the ABS brake light, traction control brake light and stability control lights all came on at the same time and remained lit. I called the dealership the next day and was told this wasn't a serious problem and to bring it on monday (I called friday morning). The first time the dealer corrected the problem by replacing the brake switch and the tail light lamp switch. As I was leaving the dealership, less than a mile away, all of the lights came back on. They corrected it again, so I picked it up and it happened again two days later. In the mean time whenever it is a medium rain or above or it has been raining for an extended period of time the ABS brakes prematurely activate. The jeep was inspected by chrysler engineers who state it does not have any problems, and will not fix the damage to the vehicle.
