Going to try to be brief...
A couple days ago, wife is traveling 65mph in our 2014 Grand Cherokee 3.6 on the interstate and attempts to accelerate into the left-hand lane. Vehicle suddenly goes into limp mode - basically the most dangerous way an engine can fail. The GC restarted after some time resting in the hazard lane, but went into limp again once more before she was able to get to work.
Code = camshaft sensor problem, with which many of you are familiar. Dealer is replacing, after some haggling, under our certified warranty. We have only about 600 miles of the warranty left, and this is the first time we've used it.
Now I look at the vehicle as something of a ticking bomb. There is another sensor. Will I/she be able to avoid an accident when that one decides to flake out? And how stupid is it that all the occupants of the vehicle are subjected to possibly mortal danger when a freaking sensor fails?
So my question, to anyone who may know - is this a Grand Cherokee problem? A Jeep problem? Or just a "cars these days are too dependent on technology" problem? I'm honestly considering trading in this vehicle over this. I trust this thing with my wife and kids every single morning.
Thanks in advance for any input!
