| Description of the problem | On jan 8th i was heading home on union road in the middle of rush hour traffic. A car infront of me decided to turn left so i had to stop when i proceeded to go around him i heard a loud bang and my jeep stopped dead. When i tried to put the car in drive, reverse, or neutral the jeep didn't move. Had i have been going the speed limit or got on the thurway in which was 200 ft away where i was headed to go home my jeep would have flipped from the sudden lock up of my wheels. I could have died. There was no warnings, noises, ect. It just snapped. Not only the 1500 dollar repair the technician told me that there had to be a defect in the differential. I would like jeep to contact me [xxx] on this matter i feel that i should not have to pay for this thank you [xxx] *bf information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
