| Description of the problem | Three times in the last year (10/26/15, 1/1/2016, 10/17/2016), my cherokee has lost all speed while on the freeway going 60mph. The dash lights start flashing including check engine, park immediately traction control, and service transmission. The gas pedal no longer works and the car loses all speed in 4-5 seconds. I have been forced to cut across all lanes of traffic to park on the shoulder. The engine never turns off, but when i try to press the gas pedal, even flooring it, the car does not move. The dealer has "rewired" the wiring harness and replaced the transmission control module twice. This is an incredibly unsafe issue with this vehicle making me afraid to drive it. |
