    The original problem was a battery light that came on when the car was being driven during a light rain.

    Vehicle has been to dealership four times for the same problem. After driving longer than 10-15 minutes turning the jeep off and trying to restart within 5-10 minutes it won't start. Let it sit for minimum of 20 minutes will start. The relays get very warm but after cooling, the car starts. Dealership has zinged us for a new starter, it didn't need, a new pcm, it didn't need.

    On several occasions, while coming to a stop the engine shut itself off for no reason. It then repeatedly tried to restart itself, even with the key in the "off" position. When this happens power steering is lost causing hard steering. The dealer performed the ignition switch recall claiming that would resolve the problem. This problem continued after the recall repair was performed.
