| Description of the problem | After getting gas i starting driving towards the exit of the gas station. I only made it a few inches when my car started bucking and shaking really bad. My steering wheel locked so i couldn't turn my car out of the way from other drivers. I was also in drive and my car was just not moving. I decided to put it in park and let it sit there for a moment before i try to turn it on again. After about a minute i turn it on and move my car off to the side to get out of everyone's way. Once again the steering wheel locked and my car didn't want to stay on. Many minutes later after shutting it off and turning it back on i was able to drive a little ways down the road before once again my car started bucking really bad and shaking like it was going to shut off on a busy road. I decided to pull into a neighborhood where my steering wheel locked again and every light on my car came on (check engine, oil, tire, etc...). My air was coming out hot and my car smelled really bad. I decided to let my car sit there for awhile and finally after 20 minutes i was able to drive with no problems. I read up on this situation and it seems like a lot of people are having this problem with jeep patriots. I can't fill my tank up all the way because i experience these problems. |
