Description of the problem | I was driving down a freeway at 55 mph when the car suddenly stalled. There is no warning other than the rpms hitting 0. This has happened three times in the past month and is becoming more frequent. When this happened i lost power steering while changing lanes, luckily toward the berm. I was able to put the car in neutral and roll off to the side of the crowded freeway, to a stop. I put the car in park and it started right back up. I was able to drive the rest of the way home making sure i kept an eye on my rpms to determine if the car had stalled again. It happened a second time, but i was ready that time and in a position to get off of the roadway. There is currently a recall for the fuel pump relay, and i did have it fixed at my own cost before the recall came out. Unfortunately, it was fixed with another faulty part since the fixed one has not been developed yet. I bought jeep for its reliability, safety, and dependability, but i am very afraid to drive my car at this time. I also tow a trailer, that luckily has not been connected when this happened, or this would be a completely different complaint with a much worse ending. Since there is no eta on the recall part, i am not sure what i can do. I am almost to the point of buying another car rather than picking up a rental for an indefinite amount of time. I love my jeep, but this is a much more serious issue than we are being led to believe. |
