| Description of the problem | Twice during the first 7400 miles the 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited shut off while driving. Incident #1 - i was slowing down to turn into driveway when the engine and electronics in the vehicle turned off for 1-2 seconds. When electrical power was restored all of the indicator lights on the dashboard illuminated as if i had just turned the key to the on position. The dealer said that they could not duplicate the problem, so no fix was attempted. Incident # 2 - my wife was stopped at a traffic light when the vehicle turned off and stayed off. She attempted to restart the vehicle, but could not since the transmission was still in drive. She had to shift into park in order to restart the vehicle. We took the vehicle to the dealer for service the following morning and were once again told that they could not duplicate the problem, so no fix was attempted. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice for this problem, and i have lost 3 days of vehicle service because of this problem. Chrysler says that the dealer must investigate and fix the problem, but all the dealer wants to do is claim that there is no problem because no trouble codes are stored in the computer and they can't duplicate the problem. In the meantime my wife and i are driving a vehicle that we feel is unsafe due to the risk of losing control of the vehicle during one of these incidents. *ak |
