Description of the problem | On 4 separate occasions, traveling around 45-60 mph, the engine went into what was described as "limp mode" and the speed decreased to 20 mph with the tach reading ~6500 and was not able to attain and maintain safe traveling speeds. The first three occasions were on a rural road, twice in a slight curve and once in a straight away. It felt like the car had been rear-ended and then was not able to achieve highway speeds (which i turn right onto from my road). The fourth occasion was after the transmission was replace and while getting up to speed on the highway. The engine registered the car as being in second gear, while it was physically in drive and was unable to get above 45 mph while revving ~7000. It should also be stated that the loaner vehicle also a 2020 jeep renegade had a similar incident resulting in "limp in" and having to be towed back to the dealership. |
