| Description of the problem | While driving on an interstate at 70 mph the service transmission message appeared, emi lit & car went from gear to clutch causing loss of power & could not accelerate to maintain speed. After a few minutes car went back into gear & was able to regain proper speed. When i filled with gas the engine malfunction light went off. After driving approximately 400 miles the same thing happened on an interstate, fortunately in both instances, the traffic was not heavy & i was able to get in right lane. If there had been heavy traffic this could have caused serious accidents. The engine malfunction light stayed on so i took my jeep to a mechanic. The code says there is an electrical problem with the computer for the transmission, it gets too hot& the car goes out of gear to the clutch, then back in gear. I read online there are 37,000 recalls on this jeep problem, but none on mine. There needs to be one! |
