| Description of the problem | Vehicle will stall during use when foot is removed from gas pedal. While driving at full speed for the road and needing to take foot off gas pedal, the jeep's engine will shut off and i receive no light indicating that this has happened. It isn't until i attempt to turn the wheel or stop the jeep that i realize i have no power. Typically happens when deaccelerating down an exit ramp or when turning through a traffic light. Very dangerous to not be able to turn steering wheel and even more dangerous when i have someone immediately behind me that doesn't realize my car has stalled and is still moving as if i'm moving. I noticed this happening prior to recall notice15v-115 and had the recall work completed on 8-17-15. However, the vehicle continues to have the same issue and the dealership cannot duplicate the issue and the jeep's computer is not showing that there have been any engine stalls. Specifically, this happens when vehicle is in motion immediately after taking foot off of the gas pedal. It has happened on highway exit ramps, at traffic lights on main roadways, and while turning through a light on a city street. 100% related to going above 35 mph and removing foot off of the gas. |
