The engine stalled while at cruise speed (not accelerating) and with no warning. There was 1/2 tank of gas; the mil did not illuminate. Upon loss of engine power, all power assist systems (e.g.: brakes, steering) ceased to operate. I successfully restarted the vehicle by shifting into neutral and turning the key as far toward "off" as is possible when the vehicle is not in park. On the second attempt, the vehicle…

A week or so after having this performed i went to lock my jeep into 4wd low and my "service 4wd" message appears. Is reading the same code everyone else with this problem is having after having the n23 recall performed. 4wd low worked…

The problem was the same one that a lot of people have had with it losing acceleration or not wanting to accelerate. My mechanic checked for a code and found out the problem was in the shifting assembly. He had to take out the center console and replace the shifter assembly. He said that a module was faulty in the shifter assembly and was putting the car into limp mode. This seems to have taken care of the problem.…

My complaint is with the dealer. I received a recall notice regarding the transfer case actuator. When making the appointment with the dealer they agreed to look at it. Once i drove out to the dealership they refused to even look at the case since there is no fix yet available. I'm not happy that they even would look. So i feel that the dealer failed to remedy this defect in a reasonable time. I understand their is…

Now at 55k miles, the rear pinion seal was leaking like a waterfall, replaced, all of a…
