Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON (11,000 MILES) ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN IT TOTALLY LOST POWER. IT LITERALLY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE COAST TO THE CENTER MEDIUM. (THIS HAD HAPPENED JUST 4 DAYS BEFORE ALSO) I WAS ALMOST IN A CRASH AS I TRIED TO COAST TO A SAFE PLACE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I BOUGHT THE JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP NEAR BY. THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND ON THE RACK TO CHECK IT, AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING CAME OUT FINE, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE. IT IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY. *JB
