| Description of the problem | Traveling approximately 65 mph on i-85 when the jeep commander made a clunk sound and the vehicle stopped. There was no power and it was unable to start. This occurred around 10pm when i was heading home after work. It was a scary experience since it was dark. I was extremely thankful for law enforcement presenting and stayed with me until the tow truck arrived. I took it to a first mechanic who stated the engine was totaled. I went for a second opinion to another mechanic since the car was made in 2008 and has about 112,000 miles but was also informed the engine was totaled. This was a shock and disappointing since i do not have the funds to purchase another vehicle. |
