| Turned onto state highway when engine began to make seizure noise and temperature moved toward h with shaking and lost power from engine. i put on emergency blinkers, removed foot from accelerator, tapped brakes, with noise continuing, while attempting to accelerate again with no power occuring. i drifted slowing down the highway a few hundred feet, turned onto a side road, with violent engine seizure noise continuing and turned off vehicle. vehicle restarted without a problem. i got vehicle towed to dealer to be checked since i purchased the vehicle only two weeks prior. i highly suspect engine debris caused this very dangerous incident. i thought an explosion of the vehicle would occur and a crash from approaching vehicles. i will not take delivery of the vehicle in incident and requested out of contract. | |||

| In either the 5th or 6th gear, the transmission/drive train shutters when ascending a modest grade at a steady speed between 50 and 65 mph. initially there was a power loss and the transmission seemed to go into neutral momentarily. chrysler replaced the oxygen sensor, torque converter and several fluids and filters. this has helped, but the shuttering remains. chrysler maintains the condition is normal, and, if the shuttering is bothersome, the car should be put in the tow/haul mode even if nothing is being towed and only the driver is in the car. (at the jeep forum and other venues on the internet, others report virtually identical problems on jeeps with the v-8 engine.) *tr | |||
