UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 7/20/2019 - CURWENSVILLE, PA
TAKATA RECALL: WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY UPHILL OR AT HIGH SPEEDS (SUCH AS THE INTERSTATE) THE VEHICLE WILL SPUTTER AND SHAKE AND LOSE HORSEPOWER (THIS ESPECIALLY HAPPENS DURING WARM WEATHER). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ODOMETER DROPS, AND YOU CANNOT GET THE SPEED TO INCREASE, WHICH IS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CARS GOING 70+ MPH BEHIND YOU AND YOU HAVE TRACTOR TRAILERS BESIDE YOU. I'VE TAKEN MY JEEP TO 3+ GARAGES TO REMEDY THE ISSUE, AND THEY'RE ALL LEFT SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS BECAUSE THE SYSTEM HAS WIPED EVERY CODE THAT WAS THROWN, AND EVERYTHING THEY TRY DOES NOT HELP MATTERS - NONE OF THEM KNOW WHAT TO DO ASIDE FROM GUESSING AND REPLACING PARTS. THE LAST GARAGE I WENT TO RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, AS DID I, AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS FORUMS WITH THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT JEEPS. FURTHERMORE, A LOT GO ON TO SAY THEY REPLACED THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE STARTING UP AGAIN, AND THEY AND THEIR MECHANICS ARE ALSO AT A LOSS. THIS HAS BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS OF RESEARCHING, GARAGE WORK, AND AN INABILITY TO TAKE THE VEHICLE LONG DISTANCES OR HIGH SPEEDS. ONE POST I READ EVEN SAID IT COULD BE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR THOSE IN THE VEHICLE AND THOSE ON THE ROADWAY.
