Description of the problem | Was driving in very busy town, luckily turning into a parking lot, jeep had lost all power, and was showing engine light, etc light flashing, and traction control was shut off. Got the jeep running again about 15 minutes later, auto zone was next door but they could not read the codes. Had to drive an hour to the closest dealership. Was told there was a recall that needed to be updated, was told to drive it so many miles to reset everything, then sent back on my way. The next day i was putting the required miles on it, it left me stranded on the side of highway with young child, got it to start again and made it back to park it the rest of the day. Next morning drove 1/4 mile down road and it had lost all power again. Called dealership to let them know i was bringing it back, jeep would not go past 3rd gear, almost hit multiple times trying to get off the road. Got to dealership, they told me it is un-driveable after driving over an hour to get there, they had jeep almost 3 weeks. Mileage was around 18,000. Would need to replace transmission, when they finally called to say it was ready, i was told it was bc it needed an oil change... With only 3500 miles on this change(feb2015-march2015). Now(oct2015) jeep shows engine, etc, traction control, after turning at light in neighborhood. Took jeep to new dealership, could not recreate problem, 3 days for diagnosis. |
