| Description of the problem | Ok i'm fully aware my vehicle is under 3 recalls well technically speaking 2 cause ones a recall on the recall waiting for that recall to be recalled. This whole process is insane my vehicle has turned off while driving has unparked itself shifted on its own had the lights flicker i have even been pulled over mutiple times for these problems twice when the jeep decided it was gonna stop accelerating 3 times because the lights start flickering sometime just inside sometimes just the outside and most recently all the lights just stopped working vehicle still running made it about 10 feet after the lights went out and sure enough before i could even pull of tbe road blue lights i've had the vehicle less then 60 days it's stalled while sitting still it's stalled while driving it's shut off while idle and while driving. Its shifted on its own while driving and idle most recently i was checking the transmission fluid with the car in park in my driveway the support arms are dead so i used my handy dandy block o wood to hold it open well i pull the dipstick from the transmisson it was a little low so i turn around to grab my funnel and a bottle of fluid and i before i can even turn all the way around my parked car is rolling towards me and so i didnt get pinned between my jeep and my shed i tired to step into the vehicle to prevent my legs from getting stuck well i'm pretty tall and my head hit he hood witch lifted it slightly and my block o wood fell out witch lead to the hood pushing my face into the running car luckily a busted flip and a slight burn to my neck was all that happened now i understand that a block o wood is not standard safety equipment and i understand that a car rolling in netural a couple feet will more then likely not pin anyone but all i knew was the parked car was moving i didn't know if it was gonna speed up or what i need more room |
