| Description of the problem | Traveling on the interstate hwy at 70 mph no warning the vehicle shut off. I pulled over to the emergency lane. Shut off engine and it started back up. This has been an ongoing monthly issue, sometimes it shut off 10 to 15 minutes after i have been driving. Sometimes the engine comes on for a few days and goings off. It has become a dangerous situation, when driving i have stay in the right lane so if it happens i wont be stop in the middle of the interstate. This recent time on november 30, 2012 was traveling with business clients, several other times with my wife and grandchildren. Taken to the dealer, they have tested on their equipment (charge me up to over $200. 00 to test) and told me tech couldn't find anything wrong; replace a switch. This issue has forced me in my business to travel to rent a rental car to travel out of the town as before i drove my jeep. This is expense and making a decision if i need to purchase another vehicle: not a jeep. |
