| Description of the problem | My jeep's horn began honking, wipers came on, door locks began locking and unlocking. Nothing stopped until i got home and my husband disconnected the battery. He connected it several hours later and it was fine. I took it to the dealership where they told me nothing could be done as the problem had stopped. Several months later, the same thing occurred along with the a/c shutting off. We went through the same steps; disconnect battery, reconnect and took to dealership. Again i was told that they really couldn't diagnose because nothing was happening at that point. Last night my jeep began shaking violently and scared me as i could not regain control. I had to slow and pull over so it could stop. My husband came to get me and was following me when in addition to the past things happening (i call it possessed), the warning lights came on; brake, engine, abs, battery, etc. It then stalled as i was turning. Luckily the woman coming the opposite direction slowed and went around otherwise i would have been hit. My husband towed the jeep to the dealership and left it there, and told them to fix it as it is a real road hazard. In reading about jeep complaints, i'm assuming it is a "tipm" problem and something called a "death wobble". I am absolutely shocked that this hasn't been recalled. |
