Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AS IF POWER HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, AFTER A WHILE NOW IT IS BACKFIRING, STALLING OUT, BUCKING. I HAVE READ MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM THE I CARE TO READ. MOST OF THE TIME THEY LEAD TO THE PCM. AND IM CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY JEEP HASN'T FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP THROWING MONEY INTO THE CAR TO KEEP IT RUNNING. LET ALONE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED MORE SENSORS THEN I CARE TO MENTION AND HAVE TRIED ALL THE DIY TACTICS. NOW MY MUFFLER IS EXPLODED. THAT BATTERY KEEPS DYING AND I AM FORCED TO BORROW A FAMILY MEMBERS CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK BECAUSE JEEP CANT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GONE TO A SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD "WE CANT FIND THE PROBLEM". IT IS UNSAFE FOR IT TO STALL OUT AND BACKFIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AND IT IS KILLING MY FINANCES. *TR
