| Description of the problem | While driving my 2005 jeep(with my 2 year old daughter in the back)on a friday evening my dashboard lights and headlights went nuts. They flashed on and off for about 30 seconds and it was pitch black-i was going about 60mph. I decided to take it really slowly but keep on driving,i had issues earlier this year with some shifting module. I really get freaked out about this stuff when my daughters in the car but it was fine for the rest of the weekend . Then monday comes. I was on the highway doing about 70mph when it happened again. This time it was not my front lights but it was the dashboard again for about 2 minutes. I called chrysler because i have a power-terrain warranty i thought it my be covered. But i need to pay to have it diagnosed-not easy in december right before the holidays. The other problem is a "pop" or "lock" when i'm driving. It seems to be coming from the back. Almost like the brakes locking??? And again have to pay to just have it diagnosed. What happen to the public calling and explaining the issue and the tech saying"oh i know what that is"or "yea sounds like your blank is loose" i just bought this not even 2 years ago and already dumped over $1000 for parts. It seems like a lot of others are having these issues. Diamler chrysler should recall these issues for safety purposes. |
