Description of the problem | On june 10, 2016 at approx. 5:15pm, service shifter displayed on the driver information display (did) for approx. 5 seconds as i was driving on i-95 in west palm beach, fl. At approximately 8:00pm, service shifter displayed again and remained displayed on the did. After approximately 5 minutes, i pressed the controls for the electronic vehicle information center (evic) attempting to remove the service shifter display and display the speedometer. Pressing the evic did not change the service shifter display. The did/evic crashed. I did not know my driving speed or could access any other vehicle information. I then noticed the center console and the p (park), r (reverse), n (neutral), and d (drive) indicator lights all illuminated simultaneously. I got off i-95 at the next exit, port st. Lucie, fl and stopped at a shell gas station. I took pictures of the displays with my cell phone before turning off the engine, mileage 36,474. I turned the engine off and called chrysler roadside assistance. The agent said he could not tell me how long the wait would be for service or tow. I started the engine and waited to see the did, evic, and p r n d displays. The displays were the same as before i turned off the engine. I could see a hotel from the gas station. I googled the hotel address and the address of the nearest jeep dealership, arrigo dodge chrysler jeep, ft. Pierce, fl. The distance was 8 miles. I drove to the hotel, 0. 4 miles from gas station. The next morning, june 11th, i called arrigo and talked with a service advisor and asked if i could bring my jeep immediately. I drove to arrigo at 5851 s. Us highway 1, ft. Pierce, fl. Attached is repair order 136810 - 6/11/16 flash software. Same occurrence driving on i-95, service shifter and prnd 46,302 miles and 46, 623 miles in 09/16. Replaced shifter 9/21/16 at my expense. 5 files attached. I have more. |
