Consumer Description

ENGINE RPMS DROP EXTREMELY CLOSE TO 0 WHEN BRAKING AND FRQUENTLY NEARS STALL... AND SOMETIMES DOES STALL. I'D HAVE TO RELEASE THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO PREVENT CAR FROM STALLING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MY INTENTION IS TO STOP OR SLOW THE CAR. THE RPM FLUCTUATES WILDLY BETWEEN 0 AND 600 WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN COMING OFF OF A CURVED FREEWAY RAMP... THE ENGINE STALLS... POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOST. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO MY JEEP DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING W/IN THE FIRST YEAR OF MY CAR PURCHASE WHEN THERE WAS VERY LITTLE MILAGE ON IT.*AK
