Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT ABOUT 65MPH, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING FROM 3500 RPM ALL THE WAY TO 6000 RPM, BUT THE SPEED DIDN'T INCREASE AT ALL. TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC SAID THEY RAN A FULL DIAGNOSTICS CHECK AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CHEROKEE. SO I DROVE THE JEEP FOR ANOTHER MONTH UNTIL IT DIED ON ONE EARLY MORNING. I WENT TO START THE JEEP JUST LIKE EVERY MORNING, BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE WON'T EVEN TURN OR MAKE A SOUND. THE GAUGES INDICATORS WENT BESERKS AND BOTTOMED OUT AT THE MAX. IT LOOKS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH THE JEEP WHEN I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TODAY. *TR
