| Description of the problem | When driving my 2008 jeep with only 40,000 miles my car stalled out. The car completely turned off disabling breaking, steering and making my gears unable to move. The car continued to drive leaving me helpless in stopping this moving vehicle. I finally had to with a my strength punch the gear into park where my car then finally stopped moving. I was only going 20 mph but imagine what could of occurred if i was on a highway, this letter which have a much different tone. I tried calling jeep to explain what occurred not only because i felt their car failed and they should pay for my expenses on their failed part, but also to note it for a recall. I have researched and see that i am not the only one that has experienced this occurring with this jeep. This is very dangerous and there should be immediate recalls so no one gets hurts as this is a very serious problem and i am lucky my outcome did not end in a worse way! |
