| Description of the problem | On feb 5th, i was driving on the freeway at about 65 mph and my car died - dash lights went on, car jerked to a violent slow down and i almost crashed into a semi on my left, the car pulled to the left. All resumed to normal after about 4 seconds. I have filed previous complaint, conf nbr 10188682. This is the 4th incident but what is most shocking is that the first 2 times i brought it to the dealership repaid shop i was told that they couldn't duplicate the error and that they and chrysler corp didn't have record of any other reports of this problem. On the 2nd visit, i advised the service person that he should look at this web site if he had never heard of this problem since there were numerous complaints. On the 3rd incident, when i got home, there was a recall "safety recall g25-program tipm-engine stalling- so i called the service center, again, advised that car stalled again and that i also received recall and scheduled the service - aug 2007. After this visit i felt more secure to drive the car because at least chrysler had acknowledged the problem. The on feb 5th 2008 as i was driving to work, it happened again. I continued to work and at the end of the day when i went back to the car it wouldn't start, all lights/radio etc came on but the car wouldn't turn over. I had it towed to jeep. I was told by service person, after the car was inspected that the control module - same item that caused previous problems, had to be replaced. I purchased this vehicle new, so that i would have a dependable and safe vehicle - neither of which it is! I asked the service manager what chrysler could do for me. He said that from the notes it looked like i only had one occurrence with this issue and that this was the first he heard of this type of problem with jeep - wow - either he out right lied to me or he is an uninformed manager. Needless to say i am not confident that this issue wont occur again! |
