Description of the problem | I was in motion on my way to taking my child to school upon a bridge ramp came to stop sign once i began to move forward after the stop i felt a jolt in the engine as it shifted into gear the service shifter light came on i continued to drive to get to safety and the service shifter light went off . I thought it was just a glitch so i drove my son to school and on returning back home the engine light came on the vehicle started jerking violently and i had to have it serviced . Dutch miller in charleston wv said it was sensor number three and that it was replaced. Not even two weeks later had the same issue had it repaired and just three days ago i have had it repaired again! Today just 3 days after repair the service shifter light came back on . Each time the same things happen, the service shifter light comes on, when it goes off the engine light comes on, the radio starts switching from my fm station to an am station for no apparent reason and the vehicle starts jerking violently while driving forcing me to go slower than speed limits on an interstate and even having to pull off the road and my fear is that it is going to cause an accident or catch on fire because i feel that it is a bad electrical system in the vehicle and the dealership i purchased the vehicle from will not assess the issue correctly. I have reached out to the makers of jeep and they are currently looking into the issue. Today i am sitting at work wondering if i will even make it home in the vehicle that i am paying for that is supposed to be reliable and its not!!! |
