Description of the problem | My wife was driving the vehicle across a busy intersection, an intersection where 2 lanes merge into one on the far side. She was in the through lane, the left lane. Our vehicle lost all engine power. Cars were merging from the right and no one could comprehend that our vehicle was in a failure mode. With engine not running, and bells ringing which no idea why the bells, the power-steering was inoperative and the brakes were very ineffective. She was trying to get the vehicle off to the side of the road, without hitting anyone or being hit. Somehow, she avoided an accident. She's a very small in stature person and it took all she had to steer and stop this 5200 pound jeep. After letting the jeep sit, it started up after multiple attempts and we went directly to the jeep dealership. They plugged in a code-reader, found no codes, and sent us on our way. They would not provide us with a repair work order so we have no paper work. They know what's wrong but are avoiding the issue. It's the tipm! This issue has continued to occur and the fuel pump isn't running when in the failure mode. Sometimes the horn blows by itself! We've had the wipers not function and the window not roll up. The vehicle is haunted. What does it take for a recall nhtsa? |
