| Description of the problem | My jeep commander 2006 shifts automatically to neutral while driving, you feel a strong pull and a loud sound coming from the engine, suddenly the car is in neutral and the gas pedal doesn't work even if pressing it. The check engine light turns on for 2 or 3 days. This problem can cause a fatal accident if this happens while driving at a higher speed, i'm scared to drive this car. I took this car to get the transmission fixed twice and i still have the same problem, it is clearly not a transmission problem now that i think about it. Also the dash lights and headlights start flashing while driving, including the ac it shuts off while lights are flashing. I called chrysler to let them know about this problem and they said my car doesn't have a recall, i don't know what else to do, i've spent more than 5,000 dlls trying to fix something that cannot be fixed, i need help! |
