| Description of the problem | Driving my 2006 jeep commander on 635e in dallas, tx, the car just died going 70 mph with 6 lanes of traffic, and i was in the lane next to the hov lane and it had not shoulder, just a concrete wall. Rather that cross 4 lanes of heavy fast traffic with no acceleration in the car, i went into the hov lane which had less traffic and got rear ended but was not a serious wreck as it well could have been. I put my car in park and started it and took the next exit and reported the accident to the police. When i got home i looked up recalls for my jeep and found the v8 engine had a recall on the front control module since the car would stall on the highway. My car is a v6. I took it to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong. I called jeep and they said i should take it to another dealership 50 miles away to "see another doctor to find the problem" in the meantime i have to fix the damage from the rear end collision and thank my luck stars i am still alive to fix it. Your campaign number for the recall i referred to is: 08v059000. |
