| Description of the problem | There have been several people with the 2007 wk crd that have reported that their vehicle has died on them while driving. Reading about this on jeep forum, i discovered that there is a tsb related to a faulty crankshaft position sensor on wk jeeps that were built before june 12th, 2007. My jeep was built in april, 2007. While my jeep has not stalled, it is my wife's vehicle and she is frequently transporting our two children. The tsb calls for checking and replacing the sensor if it fails, but i do not find this to be acceptable. If the vehicle were to just die while they were going down the highway it could result in serious injuries to my wife and kids. I believe that chrysler should do a recall to replace this sensor before anyone gets hurt. |
