I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR RPM'S DROPPED TO 0 AND THE CAR DIED. AS I PUMPED ON THE GAS I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT GOING TO GET HIT. AFTER THAT I TURNED THE CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT ON MY HAZARDS. IT THEN TURNED ON AND AFTER WILL GO TO 2 RPM'S AND THEN START TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES SO FAR AND AS OF NOW THE 3RD TIME AND 3RD WITH A RENTAL IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. AND HE HAS NO CLUE HIS WORDS. SO IN A TWO WEEK FRAME TIME I HAVE ONLY HAD MY JEEP 4 DAYS WHY BECAUSE THEY CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF YET. I WORRY BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT AND TYPICALLY I HAVE MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN IN THE JEEP WITH ME. IF U GO TO CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND LOOK UP. THIS MODEL U WILL SEE THERE ARE UP TO 60 MORE INCIDENTS. BUT THE DEALERSHIP/CHRYSLER HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT SERIOUSLY HARM THE OWNER OF THE JEEP OR A PERSON WHO HITS THEM. *TR
