| Description of the problem | I was leaving work on 3/15/07 and going down the interstate about 65 mph in the rain when the engine shut off. I was doing nothing but driving when the engine just shut off the gauges went nuts. I drive a 2007 jeep wrangler and it has only 2000 miles on it. I could have been hurt or even killed by this event. Today on my way back to work the jeep was shaking badly lots of vibration at hiway speeds. Once again i just bought it back in december and now it shuts off and is one big vibrator going down the highway. I will be taking the jeep back to the dealership and have it checked out. I will tell you right now they will find nothing wrong with it since there are no check engine lights on or any other symptons. I would like this investagated. I hope that there will be a recall before too many people have to die from this. But going down the highway at high sppeds and your engine shutting off and haveing no control over your vehicle is a perfect recipe for a serious accident. |
