| Description of the problem | This first occurred @ approx. 48k miles. Driving down the road, i accelerate, truck behaved as if it was thrown into neutral. I was able to coast it down the road approx. 1/4 mile and pull off into a parking lot (living in the country, there is no place to safely pull off the road) shut the jeep off, restart and all is good. Now at 55k miles, the rear pinion seal was leaking like a waterfall, replaced, all of a sudden the truck starts with this feeling as if it were thrown into neutral, both times it kicked back into drive on its own. Now today driving home, it clunked, bucked, all p,r,n,d lights light up at once, then they go out, then they light up, this repeats , i made it home, could not accelerate above 40-45. When is jeep going to recall these, after someone is killed. Did i mention i have a 4 year old in the truck every day! I cant drive it at this point, i am petrified, i will not put the child in it. I have to borrow a vehicle until we are able to pull it apart and get the part from the dealer i bought the jeep from 40 miles away! Would never ever recommend a jeep to anyone, ever! I have a friend owns the same jeep, same year, even the same color, he has almost 200k on his and just replaced it, he could not accelerate over 25 mph. The shame of it is, i love it and i am going to take a huge financial bath on it, even when its repaired, i cant trust it, its not child safe! Also seems very convenient jeep does not transfer warranties! Otherwise this would of been covered, the powetrain warranty on these was extended to lifetime, original owner only! |
