| Description of the problem | While driving, the ignition switch goes into accessory and the engine shuts off.. Jeep has no power steering or power to control the vehicle. This scared the "h" out of my wife yesterday while driving in traffic across a bridge going to work. She was traveling aprox. 45 mph across a straight bridge. This same thing happened to mysely last year while on the pa turnpike in traffic. I put the flashers on and shifted into neutral and restarted the jeep without much serious problems. But now a second time !!! I don't want anybody to get hurt because of this |
