| Description of the problem | I am a nurse and travel for a living. On my way home from assignment in wv. Just outside a bowling green on i65. My car jerked then lost all power. Engine light, service transmission light and battery lights all came on. I was going 70 miles an hour. I had no acceleration. I coasted to the shoulder, across 3 lanes of interstate. I attempted jeeps emergency number but got the unable to connect voice mail, after 5 minutes my car restarted. I remained on right side of road. 65 miles later and 15 miles from nashville the car jerked and i lost the ability to accelerate once again. I pulled over and the car restarted. I am now in a hotel for the third night and unable to get home. I took my car to jeep this morning to be serviced. I was told a computer malfunction caused the problem. The dealer did not offer to pay for rental car, hotel ect. The new part is supposed to be here tuesday. No i was not killed or involved in a crash however, i can think of several scenarios where i easily could have been in a horrible crash. What if the new module is also bad i asked. It's like my new laptop i was told. Sometimes they just break. |
