| Description of the problem | I was traveling on freeway 880 south in milpitas, california on monday, may 5th at approx 8pm. The weather was clear and dry and traffic was light this evening. I was traveling to cupertino so i was making my way onto the 237 freeway, i was currently on the 237 ramp, midway thru ramp onto 237 at exactly 65 mph when the traction control failure light flashed on and the vehicle lost all power while traveling on freeway vehicle quickly went from 65 to 50mph while light was flashing. I was completely surprised and looked at my dash and immediately took my foot off the accelerator pedal in response, the light went out immediately and i reapplied throttle pedal and throttle response was normal. This is the 3rd time traction control light has come on my vehicle improperly on my vehicle in 3,807 miles of driving. I have taken to dealer 4 times now for repair and they are unable to duplicate and unable to repair condition. Jeep refuses to take vehicle back but allows vehicle to be out in the hands of the consumer while i have to perform a lemon law complaint. Mark my words nhtsa and chrysler corporation, this vehicle will cause an accident and chrysler will be responsible because they were advised. |
