| Description of the problem | I bought my 06 jeep in march of 2015 and had problems with it ever since. First incident happend right after i bought car. Pulled in to mcdonalds drive through and steering wheel locked up on me and dashboard lights lite up all of them. Scared the crap out of me. Same things happened at least 6 other times where the steering wheel would lock up and truck would shut off. I was sitting at a stop light when the dashboard lights lit up and then truck died. Truck will appear to be racing at times when i barly hit gas. I had my 5 year old granddaught with me and the truck shut off while i was driving going about 45 miles. I never was so scared in my life. All i could image was me and my precious granddaughter dying. I was so scared, i could not drive for a day or two to settle my nerves. Please help !!!!!. I think that chrysler needs to pay for rentals till issue is fixed or have trucks replaced before someone dies. !!!!!!! |
