While shut off, the car sounds like it is struggling to continue its…

When coming off of the off ramp from the highway, i came to a stop light. Once sitting at the stop light the heater, dash and headlights all went off but the car was still running.

Recently bought our jeep and have dimming lights due to low idle and also have a problem with starting it. There are times it wont start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected 5 mins later and that's after shutting the vehicle off after driving it. From what i have read there is an issue with the wire harness from the battery. The low idle is making the lights dim throughout the vehicle and from what i…

This went on for a period of two years, with them even keeping the car over a period of time. Still nothing on the diagnostics. Throughout the years we would notice a strong downshift when coming to stops and a "chug" when shifting out of…
