Consumer Description

MY CAR IS GOING INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING, GOING DOWN REALLY QUICKLY BASICALLY. WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAR DECIDED TO GO INTO LOW SPEED TWICE NO ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-ENDED COLLISION THANKFULLY DRIVER BEHIND WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND I ONLY RECEIVED ROAD RAGE FROM DRIVER. IT SHOOK MY WIFE UP SO MUCH SHE WAS HOME FOR TWO DAYS WITH XTRA ANXIETY MEDICATION. SINCE THAT INCIDENT CAR COMES AND GOES IN LIMP MODE, SO NOW THE CAR SITS MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. I KNOW RECALL ON OTHER JEEP MODELS, I FEEL THIS TOO SHOULD BE RECALLED.
