Description of the problem | 2015 jeep cherokee trailhawk 18281 miles - v6. 1:45pm 12/13/16 i was stopped in an intersection making a left hand turn. Came time to go, hit the gas and heard a loud "crack" from the front/passenger side of the jeep then a "rattle", then nothing. The engine revved up but no power to the wheels. Rolled through the intersection, pulled over, put the car in park and turned off the motor. Got out, looked around, nothing broken, no fluid on the ground. Popped the hood, again, nothing noticeable. Re-started the vehicle and the engine light was on. Put the vehicle in drive, but would only go about 10 mph... The motor would rev up, but again no power to the wheels. Limped along the highway with the flashers on and pulled onto a safe side street and called triple-a. As i was sitting, engine off, i began to roll... The vehicle was in park but was still rolling forward! Cranked the wheels into the curb and set the e-parking brake. Got a tow to the local dealership and explained the situation to the service tech. Thought i'd post as well so others could see. So far, the dealership has been really helpful. I'll be following up and updating as we go. |
