| Description of the problem | While i was driving home last night 12/16/11 with my fiancee we stopped at a traffic light, and when the light turned green the jeep started back up fine all except it couldn't go faster than 20 miles per hour. So i put my flashers on and the traffic behind me went around us, then it worked itself out, but did it again when i came to another traffic light. But this time i was able to use my manual shift to help it. No warning lights came on. And i just purchased this jeep 2 days ago. I would like to get this safety issue fixed since i have seen that this is a dangerous and common problem with the other 2007 jeep grand cherokees. I am also a firefighter and i depend on this jeep to get me to fire scenes and other emergency scenes, and i don't want to be in an emergency scene involving me due to the safety issues this jeep is having. Can someone please do a recall and have this issue fixed. |
