  REAR LIFT GATE CYLINDERS FOR THE BACK DOOR DO NOT WORK IN COLD - 50 DEGREES OR COOLER WEATHER. THEY DO NOT KEEP THE DOOR UP AND MANY TIMES THE BACK DOOR ALMOST OR DID COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION, FRACTURED SKULL OR BROKEN NECK. LUCKILY THE LAST TIME SOMEONE SAW IT ALMOST CRASH ON MY HEAD WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES THEY PICKED UP THE GATE BEFORE IT HIT MY HEAD. PRIOR INCIDENTS RESULTS IN THE DOOR HITTING MY HEAD.

  TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS AWAITING A TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND JERK AND THE ESP/BAS LIGHT, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (CHECK ENGINE) AND A MESSAGE STATING TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP CAME ON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY FLASHERS. THE DRIVER BEHIND REALIZED THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE AND PUT ON HIS AS WELL. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SHOULDER, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 5MINS, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY TO MY OFFICE SINCE I WAS JUST 2 BLOCKS FROM WORK. THIS EXPERIENCE SCARED ME BECAUSE HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT THE 60-65 MPH RATE ON THIS VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. AFTER READING SEVERAL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I CAN ALSO RELATE TO THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES HAVING HAD TO REPLACE A BROKEN STEM AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE ONLY 2 DAYS AND I CURRENTLY STILL HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO MY VEHICLE ON RAINING DAYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THROUGH THE LIGHTS. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY AND AFTER TODAY'S STALL OUT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUES AND TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS PROBABLY COLD AND IF THE LIGHTS DON'T GO OUT I CAN BRING IT IN ON SATURDAY. WELL TODAY IS WEDNESDAY AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM MY HOME, I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED SO THAT IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF EVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I TRANSPORT CHILDREN AS PART OF MY JOB FROM TIME TO TIME AND I COULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE WE ARE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

  SAME DESCRIPTION AS MANY OTHER CONSUMERS. SLOW, ROUGH ACCELERATION AT ALL TIMES. VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY. NEED TO PULL OVER ON RAMP AND TURN OFF VEHICLE IN HOPES THAT RESTART WILL HELP. VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND THOSE AROUND DRIVER. HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF VEHICLE AND HOPE THAT UPON RESTART VEHICLE WILL IMPROVE.

  3.0 LITER CRD HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS FROM PURCHASE TO INCLUDE AIR INTAKE, OIL SYSTEMS, AND SEALS. ENGINE IS UNRELIABLE AND DOES NOT SEEM TO LAST MORE THAN 5,000 MILES BEFORE NEEDING MAJOR REPAIRS. BASED OFF OF MY EXPERIENCES I BELIEVE THE ENGINE IS FAULTY AND CAN LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. IN A 3 YEAR PERIOD VEHICLE HAS BEEN QUOTED AS NEEDING IN EXCESS OF $20,000 IN ENGINE REPAIRS.

  I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY, MY JEEP BEGAN TO DECELERATE UNTIL IT REACHED ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN THOUGH I MAINTAINED CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT SO I COASTED, AND PRESSED THE PEDAL A LITTLE HARDER, UNTIL EVENTUALLY, THE SUV LURCHED AND THEN STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE VEHICLE DECELERATE TO 35 WHILE IT SEEMED THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED, AND THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN. AFTER THE ACCELERATION DROPPED AND THEN INCREASED THE SECOND TIME, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN 65 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY 15 MILES LATER NEAR MY HOME. DRIVING A VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IS A HORRIBLE FEELING! I WAS SO AFRAID THAT A CAR OR TRUCK MOVING AT THE NORMAL SPEED WOULD CRASH INTO ME. IF THE TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE TERRIFYING, BECAUSE IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE, AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON OR HOW LONG I WOULD BE STRANDED. WE JUST HAD THE SUV'S ENGINE TUNED ONE MONTH AGO AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER, AND WE ALSO HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY EPISODES LIKE THIS UNTIL NOW.
