| Description of the problem | After starting my vehicle first thing in the morning, i drive less than a 1/4 mile, my jeep will suddenly lose power and stall. This happens in traffic and i become a traffic hazard in heavy traffic. The vehicle tells me to put the shifter in "park" and once i do and attempt to restart the vehicle, it usually takes several attempts, but it will start. Due to the issue, vehicles stack up behind me, others attempt to go around me, and when the vehicle does regain power, it chugs along for another 1/4 mile before it seems to be running normally. My vehicle only has 26,000 miles on it, and i should not be experiencing this issue. I am bound to get hit in traffic when my vehicle loses sudden power the way that it does. I lose power steering, and at this point, i am unsure if the air-bags would operate due to the power loss. |
