| Description of the problem | Since day 1 of buying my jeep brand new it stalls while i drive. Recently it has gotten 100x worse. Today i was heading home from out of town and i was driving on the highway when once again my rpm gauge would go down to 0 and my car would jerk. Although this time it did it over and over and over again until i finally pulled over and when i did my car completely locked up and stopped.. Like usual. So i turned my car off and back on and then it was fine again. Until 10 minutes later. It began jerking non stop on the highway so i pulled over and was gonna restart my car, but this time it wouldn't turn on. I sat there on the side of the highway panicking for 10 minutes until i could finally get it back on. And yet the next hour was full of non stop jerking and having to pull over. I have taken my car into the dealership around 4 times yet there's no light on so nothing can be found. I happen to look up recently and see there was apparently a recall on this veichle so i took it in again, but when they put my vin there is nothing! This problem with it jerking and stalling has been happening since around december of 2013. I finally have decided to make a report because i am so tired of having to worry about my car dying on me while i'm driving! This veichle is so unsafe and needs to be fixed!! |
