| Description of the problem | July 8, 2019 i was driving my 2010 jeep grand cherokee laredo on a busy highway in a construction area of the highway when jeep started losing speed as if it had switched itself into neutral. I was in very heavy traffic when this happened. I managed to get jeep out of the way of heavy traffic behind me. I waited about five minutes then turned the win key on and jeep started up and i drove less than a mile jeep started losing speed again barely moving. Managed to coast off to side of road. Waited again for about five minutes turn key on jeep started up again. Drove about two miles same thing happened again. Let jeep sit for a few more minutes at which time i was thinking this jeep is a death trap waiting to happen. Started jeep up again and this time i managed to get home without any more loss of speed as if jeep was in neutral mode. I am now very uneasy each time i drive my jeep worrying if it will do this again. Very dangerous situation to be in. |
