| Description of the problem | My car stalls randomly (approximately every 1000 miles) while i'm driving (in motion). There is no warning. This last time the car stopped when i was traveling 70 miles per hour on hwy 5 - just died right in the lane!! It has also stalled at busy intersections, on onramps, huge hills etc. I finally - after 10 visits to the jeep repair shop - understand from the dealership that the car needs a new engine to fix the problem. But they say this is acceptable under jeep guidelines and won't pay for the new engine... I've put over 20 quarts of expensive synthetic oil in my car over the past year and never know if the car will be safe to drive. This is the worst car i've ever had and i'm disgusted with jeep. By the way - i just found out it needs a fifth recall - part still in development (as always). When i asked the woman who told me of this new development, she couldn't explain what the risk is while we wait for the new part. In 2 1/2 years of owning this piece of crap car, i've had five recalls and over a dozen stalls... I'm so angry and bummed. |
