Description of the problem | While driving at 70 mph in fast lane of major high, slight uphill grade, engine rpm increased rapidly and loss of power transfer to wheels as if in neutral. Coasted to side of road (fortunately light traffic) and at about 25 mph transmission engaged and i returned to highway. In about 5 more miles same loss of power to wheels occurred and then re-engaged as vehicle came to stop. Following day, after about 10 miles while at 55 mph, jeep again lost connection to wheels and engine rpm increased. Pulled over to side of roadway (local county route with moderate 2-way traffic), stopped engine. Started engine several times but transmission would not engage in any gear (reverse, fwd etc.) in any selected gear location. This jeep has active drive ii. Had jeep towed to authorized service. Dealer response possible overheated ptu, will require further investigation. My research indicates may be part of recall s55/nhtsa 16v-529. |
