WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. I WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. UNLUCKY FOR ME, WHERE MY CAR DECIDED TO STALL WAS NEAR THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY, UNDER A BRIDGE. IT WAS QUITE A DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP DECIDED THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. I'VE HAD MY SHIFT ASSEMBLY FULLY REPLACED AS WELL AS A NEW STARTER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES THAT I AM FACING AND WHY SO LITTLE IS KNOWN BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS SUV HAS BEEN OUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DURING ACCELERATION THROTTLE BECAME STUCK. VEHICLE STARTED INCREASING IN SPEED WITHOUT THE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. I INITIALLY HELD ON THE BRAKES FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE COMPRESSIONS WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN SPEED OR RPM. SHIFTED CAR TO LOWER GEAR ALONG WITH BRAKES, STILL RPM AND SPEED WAS INCREASING. PLAN B WAS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND LET THE ENGINE BLOW OR SHUT VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY. IN THE MIDST OF GOING THROUGH THESE ACTIONS VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. GOING TO DEALER FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THIS NEGLIGENT, UNSAFE, HAZARD OCCURRED. THIS IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR IN A BASICALLY BRAND NEW VEHICLE, ME, MY SON AND THE INNOCENT PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE HIGHWAY WERE IN JEOPARDY WHEN THIS SAFETY INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
