I was on a highway going 65mph and my engine cut off, steering locked up, and I had no control of breaks or anything. I could not get over or even put my hazards on to signal to other drivers I could not stop or get to another lane. When a tow truck arrived he tried a new battery and everything and could not even get the car in neutral to be able to tow it to the side of the road. Had to get special truck there to get the car to safety and a shop. After getting to the shop they said it was an issue with my water pump that caused everything to shut down suddenly.

Went to mavis tires for a tire rotation 1/28/20 after leaving the chrysler/jeep dealership for transmission fluid change told 9 speed sealed never needs anything . The guys at mavis said that my lug bolts were swollen and that they could not do the work and that I needed to go to the dealership and have them replaced because only chrysler / jeep make the part. My jeep has only 49,800 miles and the mavis guys told me that I needed lug replacements back in november 2019 , I have owned many cars and trucks in the past and never had to replace lugs bolts on a vehicle with such low miles on it . They checked it both stationary and in motion to make sure they are on properly the guys at mavis also told me when I requested an alignment that they tested drove it first and told me it didn't need one but I felt it roll more to the right that was in 8/2019 so now with four new tires first in 8/20219 for two then 10/2019 which is why I felt it was time to rotate the tires but couldn't get this done due to the swelled up lug bolts on all four tires

I lost the ability to steer my car. I was driving home from work, going the posted speed limit, 50 MPH, then all of a sudden I couldn't steer my car, I nearly had an accident, I stopped the car, turned off the ignition, started it back up and it would steer again.

I was at a restaurant eating breakfast, after I was done I came out to crank my car and it would turn over but would not start up. The dashboard was stating that I needed ESC service, then it said I need airbag service, steering service. I could not turn my steering wheel and my brakes would not push on to start my car. Then the throttle light came on. I had to get it towed.

Was in motion on city street and power steering / traction control randomly cut out causing the vehicle to loose control. This has happened several times. The power will cut the engine sometimes and other times the car just drifts and I cannot control it. I have almost seriously wrecked because of it twice. *dt
