TiAgX5 is on a distinguished road
It's still a Jeep. My first was a new '91 Cherokee Limited 2 door (rare) 4X4, when it was about 2 yrs old it started dying randomly (would have to coast to the roadside and wait for around 1/2 hr and it would sometimes start, sometimes needed towing), got worse in the next 2 yrs. Did it on a trip to FL and was towed to Countryside Jeep in Clearwater, FL. Finally a knowledgeable tech found a loose ground wire on the ECM computer, never happened again.

Next 2 were new Grand Cherokee 4X4s ('99 and '03), these ate window regulators, ear window and hatch struts would de-pressurize every 2yrs (2 yr old vehicles that need items held up by broom handles?), driver seat frames would bend so driver torso would turn toward console. Jeep asked ex if I was unusually large (I'm 6'1", 225 lbs), she called me, I drove to dealer, told manager to fix the f'in Jeep and eat the cost. Explained my Viper has done dozens of 11.3 1/4 mile passes with me driving and the seat is fine, this vehicle is "trail rated" my ass, told him it must be a low rating because it never turned a wheel offroad and the seat keeps failing!
