Please don't buy this car

We were excited as Jeep has been good to us carwise in the past. A month after we got it home, the shocks started squeaking loudly. The transmission started stuttering. If we were driving, braked, and started driving again, the transmission would stutter, like the gears were slipping. This is not the Jeep value we had grown to love.

Loud squealing noises intermittently initially!

Experience loud squealing noises when brakes are pressed. After having brakes inspected, can’t locate cause. Just so embarrassed when I make a stop. Everyone attention is on my car!!
