Description of the problem | 3 times in the last 9 months this car has stalled while braking causing me to lose power steering and almost causing a crash on one occasion. Luckily the first time i was on a straight road but the last two times happened 9/26/19 where i had to brake while turning and on this occasion i almost crashed the car into a median. Each time i've taken the car to the jeep dealer soon after for an inspection and each time i'm told there is nothing wrong with the car, no diagnostic codes are visible and their road tests do not reproduce the issue. The first time this happened to me, the dealer did however replace the fuel pump relay (i think as part of some recall) but did not indicate this was the specific reason for my car stalling. This repair seemed to solve the issue until 9/26/19 when it happened twice consecutively. I fear this is related to the countless other complaints online about this year and model. I asked the dealer if it's perhaps related to all the tipm issues i've read about with this year and model and they said without a diagnostic codes or without reproducing the issue there is no way to tell. I'm told there is nothing wrong with this car. How can that be when i've lost control of it 3 times in the last 9 months and almost crashed it once? I fear that this car is unreliable and may kill me or someone else but i'm being told it's fine. I'd really love someone to look into this or give me guidance. |
