My husband and i were traveling to charleston, sc on i-26 to have a nice valentine's weekend. Everything was fine until we merged onto i-26 in columbia, sc, when we felt a small jolt in the truck like it was hesitating or something. So we dismissed it as maybe bad gas or something. It happened a couple more times and as we were passing a rest area outside of orangeburg, sc in the left lane going with the flow of…

I took ownership of the vehicle in december 2013. While driving, the vehicle engine has suddenly shut down on three separate occasions. The first time was in january 2014 in heavy highway traffic near colorado springs at about 50mph. I was able to move to the shoulder and turned the key off then restarted the engine. There seemed to be no adverse effects thereafter so i thought it was a random event. Then one week…

I had been driving for maybe 8 minutes at 55 mph when suddenly the vehicle jumped, stalled and lost power. After gliding to the side of the road, i made 3 attempts to restart in park. It would not restart. After waiting several minutes the car did restart. All of this while people are passing at 60 mph on a two lane road!! The vehicle is not registering any codes!! *tr

Had the transmission warranty recall update done, now i am getting a "service 4wd" light. In doing research this is very common on jeep's who had the recent warranty update. Jeep needs to correct this problem. In some cases dealers are replacing actuators under warranty and in some not. My dealer, ed tomko jeep in avon lake, ohio, would like to charge me to take a look at it. Chrysler/jeep needs to pay to correct…

The vehicle would just suddenly shutdown, i bought the vehicle used just a few days before the incident but driving to different state. Since then, it has stalled several times and i have taken it to the dealer and since there is no engine check light, dealer says they cannot find the problem. It would stall at any speed, temperature or any condition. I am afraid that it may stall at the wrong place at the wrong…

I purchased my jeep a little over a year ago used. I have had numerous problems since i have purchased it. First it was thought to be an electrical problem since the car would randomly shutter, would not want to start or just turned off. Battery was replaced multiple times, since it would leave stranded at any given time. The engine light comes on, but there has not been a solution to what it can be. I feel very…

While vehicle is in motion a front dashboard lights would flash for a while and suddenly goes dark including head lights and brake lights. This is not in any correlation with weather, temperature or road conditions. This has been happening randomly and due to safety concern we no longer use the vehicle for a family trip and we do not use the vehicle at night since all electrical components goes off while it is in…

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…

While coming to a stop at a light, the engine stalled. The mil illuminated, but cleared upon the next power-on cycle, so no codes could captured; subsequent reads revealed no stored codes. Restart required the vehicle to be in park; attempts while in neutral resulted in the engine turning over, but immediately dying. *tr
