| Description of the problem | As i was driving my jeep shut off and i was unable to steer and started to slow down in the middle of the freeway going 65 mph. I was unable to get out of the road and on to the shoulder causing several cars to almost hitting me. When the jeep stopped i put the suv in park and tried starting all it did was make noise. I then stepped on the brake and put in neutral and tried starting it and it wouldn't start. I waited a few minutes put the jeep back in park and tried again and it started but i'm scared to drive in now. This happened to me 4 times now but the other times it is when i am either coming off the freeway or on a city street not going that fast and in that much traffic. |
