| Description of the problem | I've complained here 2 weeks ago but now an update -- today was the second time which was more serious as not only the etc light came on , but the mil light and then the eac light. After stalling and restarting and plugging my way home -- while at a stop light , foot on brake on a hill, the car seemed to rpm very highly and seemed to want to accelerate (while a pedestrian crossed in front of me at the light). At that time -- or around that time -- all the idiot lights came on -- on the instrument panel. The car was stationary, but appeared to swoop into high gear while sitting with brake on pedal. It then dwindled down to the previous 3 lights. Later when i made it home after several stalls, i went out to start it . The mil light lights first, and although it's suppose to warn me about seat-belts that has stopped. Then the etc light comes on after about 1 minute or so, and the eac which stays on. I've never had a car do this ever! So dangerous! The seatbelt light? This has got to be electrical. Chrysler has never fixed their jeep problems -- this is a repeated issue with all of their jeeps . I was in downtown duluth going only 30 mph but wouldn't have been able to go past that speed as it kept attempting to stall out. I'm sorry i couldn't take pictures while in the midst of a panic. |
