| Description of the problem | I was driving and the following happened: jeep completely died while driving, battery light illuminated & the screen displayed "place in p, then select gear", i attempted it but i had no power, no ability to steer or brake. I was also broken down in on coming traffic and wasn't able to move. I had to put in neutral and push my jeep out of the middle of the hwy. I'm 26 and 5'4. I'm scared for my life. I cried all the way to work. All i could see was getting impaled by a driver, getting killed and risking losing my 2 year old son! I'm not happy, i'm scared for my life and i have no idea what to do or where to turn! The dealership isn't answering my calls or responding to any messages! *bf consumer stated problem was caused by piston rings were faulty. *jb |
