Consumer Description

AFTER PUMPING GAS, LESS THAN A MILE INTO MY TRIP HOME, MY JEEP'S STARTED STALLING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF (I COULDN'T EASILY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL) AND IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, THEN BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO STARTED IT. I ONLY MOVED ABOUT 500 FEET AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF, BACK ON AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED A THIRD TIME, AS I WAS GETTING HOME. I SAT ON MY PARKING SPOT AND THE JEEP WAS STALLING BUT IT DIDN'T DIE AGAIN. I LOOKED UP JEEP FORUMS AND IT SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND PEOPLE RESOLVE IT BY NOT FILLING THE TANK ALL THE WAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND IT COULD'VE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.
