| Description of the problem | I was driving in wausau, my jeep stopped, i accelerated-nothing. I had cars behind me honking and the one directly behind me was coming up fast, i steered to the right and managed to make it into a snowbank. I turned my car off, restarted it. Sat for about 10 mins with hazards on and was able to drive back home to eau claire. In february i replaced my transmission. My transmission never went out. My vehicle would just get stuck in reverse, i'd have to put in drive, back to reverse, then to drive again to go. In addition i had two more episodes, one with my twelve year old in the vehicle with me where it just stopped accelerating. So i have a new transmission in. I have also filed a separate complaint regarding tread wear on now tires, but it's a few weeks later and something still isn't right. I'm not getting stuck in reverse anymore, it's only been a month, but i haven't had the jeep stop, but it feel like the (excuse my lack of mechanical [xxx]) fuel isn't getting to wear it needs to go fast enough because sometimes it doesn't accelerate (it's been over 30 degrees all week, it's not due to not having the car warm up). Then when it does choose to accelerate it "jumps" to it. Overall it's just noisy. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
