"If loss of motive power occurs, it may cause an accident without warning causing injury to the vehicle occupants or pedestrians"
These are jeeps words concerning the recall. It is not just a park issue. This a safety issue. Some people probably couldn,t care less and tell the missus and kids not to worry, she,ll be right. Others value their families life and do not want to drive something that may or may not suddenly lose momentum and cause an accident. What will happen if it does occurr and an accident arise with loss of life? You can bet ya balls that the insurance company will say..."Oh well, you were warned by the car manufacturer and you chose to ignore the safety warning".
Its not quite a clear cut and dried case of someone not knowing where the handbrake is or anything else. The issue appears to be poor wire crimping on the ZF 9 speed gearbox. These boxes are also fitted to other manufacturers cars.
I wouldnt want to drive the bloody thing either. I was pissed off when my NW went into limp mode due to a turbo hose coming loose. Sudden lose of power is not a nice feeling. Depending on how fast your going and what driving conditions are around, it could be fatal.
Just glad I didnt buy a jeep.
