What owners wrote
I was driving in wausau, my jeep stopped, I accelerated-nothing. I had cars behind me honking and the one directly behind me was coming up fast, I steered to the right and managed to make it into a snowbank. I turned my car off, restarted it. Sat for about 10 mins with hazards on and was able to drive back home to eau claire. In february I replaced my transmission. My transmission never went out. My vehicle would just get stuck in reverse, I'd have to put in drive, back to reverse, then to drive again to go.
I have been experiencing the car wanting to stall out. It is as if the gas is not getting to the engine. I begin to lose power and steering. I gun the gas, but it hestitates. This is hugely dangerous. I am the original owner and have serviced it regularly, and to this day only about 44k on it. This is scaring me. My mechanic just put dry gas in to perhaps alleviate any possible water in the tank after a recent fill-up. I have been reading of many others having the same problem. This is time for a recall, folks.
