| Description of the problem | While driving 60 on the highway, i suddenly had no acceleration. The check engine light did not come on, the dash lights stayed the same as while driving. I pulled over to the side of the road, put it in park, turned the key off, then started it on the first try. It then drove fine. A week and a half later, 3-3-2015, i'm sitting at a stop light, the light turns green, i accelerate, the jeep starts to move forward, then again, loses all power. I pull over, try to start the jeep, it won't start. I immediately try again, it won't start. I wait about 20 seconds, try again, it starts. Drove fine the rest of the night. Both times i was on the highway in 4-6 lanes of traffic! One of these times i won't be as lucky as i have been! This is only a few of the ongoing problems i have had with this jeep. You can check with the manager of the service department at lee chrysler dodge jeep in fort walton beach to find out what part they replaced about 6 months ago that i had to pay for, that i strongly believe should have been covered by one of your many recalls. I really hope you plan to recompensate us for all the trouble this has caused us. Obviously i need to be rid of this jeep before it gets me killed. |
