NHTSA Complaint #10994071 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

JEEP RECALL AS I WAS EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY, I SUDDENLY NOTICED A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PETAL TO ACCELERATE A BIT IN ORDER TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. WHEN I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD SHUT DOWN AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE HE VEHICLE HAD ALL SHUT DOWN AS WELL. THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING BUT IT WAS NO LONGER TURNED ON. I QUICKLY TRIED TO TURN THE KEY TO TRY TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, AND STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GIVE IT GO AHEAD, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND WAS SOMEWHAT OUT OF THE TRAFFICS WAY. SINCE THE , THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN, DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES I AM NOT TOO SURE ABOUT. UNKNOWN. JUST TWO DAYS AGO, I HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP BUT IT WILL NOT BE SERVICED OR ATTENDED TO UNTIL A WEEK FROM NOW. I WORK TWO JOBS WHICH ARE BOTH LOCATED AT LEAST 15 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME AND NOT HAVING A VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK HAS PUT A HUGE BURDEN ON MY WHOLE LIFESTYLE AND DAILY ROUTINE OF OBLIGATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE FINANCIAL BURDEN HAS CREATED NOTHING BUT BITTERNESS TOWARDS THE MANUFACTURE OF MY JEEP. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS NIGHTMARE TO END AND NOT REOCCUR AGAIN BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO STAY CALM AND PATIENT NEXT TIME. IF WE COULD AT LEAST BE PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR FOR UNPREDICTED INCIDENCES LIKE THIS THEN MAYBE WE COULD MANAGE AND TOLERATE A BIT MORE. BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE WE STILL HAVE TO PAY OUT MORE MONEY WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE GIVING. THIS IS THE MANUFACTURES RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF ITS CONSUMERS AND TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
