Consumer Description

MY CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND STREETS. MY CAR SHUT OFF AT HIGH SPEED, LOW SPEED, SHORT DISTANCE AND LONG DISTANCE. I WAS ADVISED BY A MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR THAT WAS RECALLED ON 2016 JEEP VEHICLES THOUGH MID JULY AND MY CAR IS AUGUST (RECALL S89). I TOOK VEHICLE TO JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE CAUSE IS THE CRANKSHAFT CENSOR BUT IM BEING CHARGED $350 FOR THIS SAME BAD PART BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I ALMOST DIES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS FAULTY PART. I TOOK MY CAR TO 3 MECHANICS AND WILL OUT OF POCKET $800 BECAUSE THE RECALL DID NOT EXTEND TO MY VEHICLE. ITS WRONG AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE!!!!
