| Description of the problem | I was driving at 45 miles per hour when my service shifter light went off. Within 1 minute i lost my power steering, and brakes. My car locked into gear and i lost all ability to accelerate. At that point the car started dinging and prompting every code in the car. Sway bar engagement, rear electronics, fuel low, tire pressure, change oil..... I can't remember every one. When i got my car to stop i could not get the car to turn off and all of the fans were blowing on high along with the motor reeving. I finally got it to turn off and called for a tow. The repair shop told me the car had thrown over 100 codes but none were active. They kept my jeep for 10 days and told me they took it apart and checked everything. I was told because no issues were current they could not find a problem though. I picked it up and not 8 miles down the road the same exact thing happened. This time however i was in heavy traffic where i was almost hit and because i had no brakes or power steering i almost hit a person walking. Thank god i was able to avoid all of that and get pulled over to safety. It is currently in the shop again. |
