Constantly will make a squeeling sound every morning on start up. Lasts over a minute - not even on cold days! Have had it looked at - state can't duplicate the oeuvre (of course because it's always the first start up! Rough idle every 2-3 minutes, transmission shifts hard out of first gear. Pour fuel economy as well. Maintenance has been done. Just bought the car - several issues

I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee srt. In the last year and a half, i have had to have the transfer case & rear end replaced. This is just uncalled for on a 4 year old car. It is currently sitting at the dealership (has been there for a week so far) to have the lifters/cam replaced. The parts from chrysler are so far on back order there's no hope of getting them. The aftermarket parts are also on back order. Those 2…

The vehicle stalls while you are driving it, transmission light comes on. It says place in park to restart but sometimes takes forever and then it sputters. Sometimes when you turn the vehicle off you can still hear the fuel pump operating. This has happened several times now. I have a child and if anything happens- like getting ran over by oncoming traffic and either of us gets hurt- someone is going to pay dearly.…
