| Description of the problem | There have been several times while driving the jeep that the same transmission problem occurred. Twice i was approaching a stop sign in a residential area, once i was coasting down a hill on a city street, once i was slowly accelerating in rush hour traffic on a major interstate, and another time i was accelerating from being stopped at a red light on a city street. The service transmission message along with several lights indicated a transmission problem. I have a picture attached. The dealership i took it took pulled a shift differential code off the vehicle. The problem is intermittent and does not happen every time it is driven. However, this is a serious safety concern to me because the vehicle is not driveable until i turn off the engine, open the door and restart the engine several times until only the mil light is on. This is an accident waiting to happen especially with me driving 29 miles each way through 2 tunnels during rush hour. It is unsafe for me to be broken down in rush hour traffic on an interstate. I fear that i will not be in the right lane like i was previously to be able to try to pull off the road. I fear i will be driving 55 miles in a tunnel and cars not stopping behind me. I fear that i will be causing an accident trying to open the door to reset the engine. No one should have to live with this fear that you are not safe with driving to and from work. |
