| Description of the problem | It is the second time this happens to us when on a highway. The first time my husband was driving and we have our child with us. We thought it was a part of the latest recall we received in the mail regarding the key ignition. This time i was driving on a highway, going about 60-65 mph when the engine light came on, i starting losing power, tachometer starting going down and the accelerator pedal was completely unresponsive and significantly hard to push down on it, the speed continued to go down as i was trying to get to the shoulder as fast as i could but with an unresponsive engine it was very difficult. It was also difficult to move the steering wheel as this got harden. I managed to pull over on the shoulder and had to turn the engine off. After waiting 10-15 minutes, i turned the engine back on and was able to get to my destination which was not far from where i had to pull over. The engine light is still on and i'm afraid this would happen again next time i drive my vehicle which is every day. This was not a pleasant experience at all and it is very frightening when you are on a highway and all of the sudden have no control of your vehicle, it is definitely not safe at all. This jeep has gone through all the recalls that i have gotten in the mail. |
