| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo, 6 cyl 4x4. The vehicle has been losing power at highway speeds on an almost daily basis, usually while negotiating left hand curves. When the vehicle loses power, the traction control light turns on and the vehicle decelerates rapidly. During the power loss, i can put the accelerator to the floor and the vehicle will not accelerate. I have almost been involved in several rear end crashes due to this issue, as it happens without warning. The vehicle has been to the dealership 5 times for related issues. On 03/18/08 the abs wiring harness was re-routed because it was rubbing on the left front tire. The shifter module has also been replaced twice, however, the aforementioned problem is ongoing. The last time the vehicle was at the dealership was 09/25/09 and i was told that there was no computer code for the problem and that the dealership could not fix or diagnose the problem because they could not recreate it. I am afraid that if i continue to drive this vehicle it is inevitable that i will be involved in a collision as a result of this mechanical failure. I cannot afford to replace the vehicle and the dealership where i purchased the vehicle has been useless in fixing the problem. I am at my wits end and i am getting nowhere with papa's dodge. |
