| Description of the problem | The engine shut off 11 times while driving in the freeway and in the streets. Two of them almost cause an accident while driving up hill and driving in the freeway over a speed of 65mph. The power shuts off without warning while moving and it needs to be restarted once to several times to start the engine. It goes from drive to neutral to rengine shutoff. It kept happeningfor two years now and before the s55 transaxle wire harness. Fremont jeep dealership are insisting that it is still okah to drive even after numerous incidents and even if they dont have the parts yet for the recall. Stated in the recall information "the loss of motive power could crash without warning". I am very afraid to use the car and afraid for my passenger as well as for other people if ever there will be a major accident that the jeep/chrysler is waiting to happen before they make a move. They dont recommend anything but to wait for indefinite time frame of when the parts gonna be available. I think they want us 2014 jeep cherokee owners risk and sacrifice our life. |
