| Description of the problem | I was driving on i-65 on a slightly rainy day. I stopped to fill with gas and when i entered the interstate i noticed the vehicle seemed to fishtail but i thought maybe i hit a slick spot. In a short time i got behind a slow truck and when the traffic cleared i started to go around the truck accelerating normally and the vehicle fish tailed so drastically the truck driver actually moved partially onto the shoulder. I slowed and pulled off the road thinking i may have a tire going flat. Upon checking the tires i found no problem. I started back on my trip but could tell my jeep was not feeling as it should when accelerating. When no vehicles were in sight i intentionally accelerated and the vehicle once again fish tailed. Soon i came upon slow traffic and when i applied the brakes the left rear wheel locked up and slide. When i finally got to an exit i stopped and and still could find no problem but did not shut off the engine (mistake). I continued on to my destination very cautiously. It was late and after the vehicle sat overnight it seemed to be fine and has not had a similar problem since. The problem could have easily caused an accident. I had the vehicle checked by a dealer when i returned home and no problem was found and i really felt they did not believe what i was saying. They kept it overnight and cheked it on a rainy day. |
