I WAS DRIVING AND THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED: JEEP COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING, BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED & THE SCREEN DISPLAYED "PLACE IN P, THEN SELECT GEAR", I ATTEMPTED IT BUT I HAD NO POWER, NO ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE. I WAS ALSO BROKEN DOWN IN ON COMING TRAFFIC AND WASN'T ABLE TO MOVE. I HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH MY JEEP OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. I'M 26 AND 5'4. I'M SCARED FOR MY LIFE. I CRIED ALL THE WAY TO WORK. ALL I COULD SEE WAS GETTING IMPALED BY A DRIVER, GETTING KILLED AND RISKING LOSING MY 2 YEAR OLD SON!

THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T ANSWERING MY CALLS OR RESPONDING TO ANY MESSAGES! *BF CONSUMER STATED PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY PISTON RINGS WERE FAULTY. *JB
