Consumer Description

AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION AND GETTING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER THE JEEP BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL URN KEY TO TURN ON ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY AFTER THAT,JEEP CONTINUALLY DIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING FILL UP AT GAS STATION. IT CURRENTLY DIES APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL STAY RUNNING. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS EVENT. IF IT SHUTS OFF AND I DO NOT WAIT AT THE GAS STATION WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT JEEP / CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. WAS THERE A CRASH ... ALMOST!
