MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON I-80 EAST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER STARTING INCLUDING SOME HILLY AREAS BUT ALL HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SHE HAD TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER CALLING SEVERAL TIMES AND WAITING ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE CAR RESTARTED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 6 MILES AT LOWER POWER/LOW SPEEDS TO AN EXIT WHERE SHE WAS ADVISED TO PUT OIL IN THE CAR. AFTER COOLING OFF FOR 20 MINUTES MORE, SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND CONTINUE HER TRIP (ANOTHER 100 MILES) WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE STALLED ON ME, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE A BIT BEFORE IT TURNED OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK ON, I HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON. UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE SINCE 2007 AND WE ARE IN 2013. I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV TO JEEP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER LEAVING IT FOR OVER A WEEK. LAST WEEK, I WAS MAKING A U-TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME ONCE AGAIN. I DREW THE LINE AND I'M READY TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. MY LIFE WAS SUDDENLY IN DANGER AS I HAD A VEHICLE APPROACHING ME AT OVER 40MPH. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO GET THESE VEHICLES OFF THE STREET. THE WORST PART IS THAT JEEP GAVE ME A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT SINCE THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO LIVE WITH THIS HORRIBLE VEHICLE AND THE WORST SERVICE THAT JEEP OFFERS. *JS
