Consumer Description
ON JAN 8TH I WAS HEADING HOME ON UNION ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. A CAR INFRONT OF ME DECIDED TO TURN LEFT SO I HAD TO STOP WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GO AROUND HIM I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND MY JEEP STOPPED DEAD. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL THE JEEP DIDN'T MOVE. HAD I HAVE BEEN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OR GOT ON THE THURWAY IN WHICH WAS 200 FT AWAY WHERE I WAS HEADED TO GO HOME MY JEEP WOULD HAVE FLIPPED FROM THE SUDDEN LOCK UP OF MY WHEELS. I COULD HAVE DIED. THERE WAS NO WARNINGS, NOISES, ECT. IT JUST SNAPPED. NOT ONLY THE 1500 DOLLAR REPAIR THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO CONTACT ME [XXX] ON THIS MATTER I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS THANK YOU [XXX] *BF INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR *BF *TR
