Consumer Description

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE DECELERATING. ALL POWER IS LOST AND VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER OR BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART WHEN PUT BACK INTO PARK AFTER DRIFTING TO A STOP. THIS IS A RANDOM PROBLEM THAT OCCURS 1-2 TIMES EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS ON AVERAGE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO JEEP AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES BEING GENERATED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD AND I HAVE SIMPLY BEEN LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT YET AS A RESULT.
