“I HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 INCIDENTS OF MY VEHICLE ENGINE TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED 4 MONTHS AGO. TO DATE, EACH TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, I'M TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT IN, YET THE RECALL LETTER STATES THAT IF I HAVE THE CAR FIXED, I CAN SUBMIT A RECEIPT, WHICH INFERS THAT THERE IS A PART AVAILABLE. WHY HAS CHRYSLER NOT BEEN PUSHED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? PLEASE PRESS THEM TO DO SO. *TR”

“I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER. IT WAS LIKE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SENSE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF 2011. WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN I HAVE NO POWER, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOTHING. *TR”

“THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF..I WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND LOST POWER...I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT I WAS IN THREE LANES WIDE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE LANE CLOSED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY INJURED. WITHIN THE TIME FRAME OF THREE WEEKS IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES...ALL WHEN I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS EXCEPT ONCE THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND POWERED DOWN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN IN TOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMES AND GOES SO FAST BY THE TIME I CAN GET TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE IT SCANNED ITS USUALLY OFF. I WAS ABLE TO SCAN IT ONCE AND IT READ A CODE FOR "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE"...THE CAR RUNS GREAT BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT JUST POWERS DOWN. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED FROM THIS FAILURE BEFORE SOMEONE FIXES IT! THIS IS ABSURD! *TR”

“WHILE ENTERING ON RAMP FOR HIGHWAY JEEP SHUTS OFF... NO MORE CONTROL SINCE NO POWER. HIT THE GUARD RAIL. THIS STALLING HAPPEN ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK. WITH PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE VERY SCARY. HAVE SPENT MORE THAN $4000 @ DEALER @ & MANUFACTURER INVOLVED. WITH NO RESOLUTION...BUT THE STRESS & THE DISSATISFACTION IN THE AMERICAN PRODUCT I'D LIKE TO BUY THAT CAN'T BE FIXED. I'M CONVINCED I'LL PROBABLY NEVER BUY AMERICAN AGAIN. VERY DISAPPOINTED ON HOW JEEP CORPORATE HANDLED THE ISSUE & LEFT ME WITH VEHICLE WITH THESE PROBLEMS & TOLD ME CASE CLOSED... TRADE IT IN. *TR”
