| Description of the problem | After making a right hand turn at a four way stop, i began traveling through a residential area at about 25 mph. After maybe 100 yards, the car came to a stop and the engine was revving, as if the vehicle were in neutral. The shift knob indicated the vehicle was in drive, but it was no moving forward. Obviously this caught me completely off guard, as someone at the four way had waved me to go before them, the i unexpectedly stopped in the middle of the road and would not move. I began applying the gas more gently, good thing or i would have jumped forward, and eventually the vehicle began to drive again. The low number of miles on the car is because i am scared to drive the car until the two brake recalls are completed, and now this. I see this has been a big concern in other years for the jeep and have found many similar complaints online for this model. When will this issue be addressed? Big safety hazard! |
