Description of the problem | On 4/10/2020 i was idling in gear in a fast food drive-thru lane. I could hear and feel the engine start to sputter. I put the car into park and tried applying gas to keep the engine at a higher rev. After about a minute the engine stopped. I tried multiple times to get the vehicle to start but all it did was to have an extended crank time without it starting. I was able to get some help to push it out of the way of other vehicles. After about 5 minutes of sitting i was able to start it and drive it home. I have had multiple occurrences of this issue. The last time was while i was entering and turning in a busy intersection. Another time was while i was 25 miles down a dirt road. I have had the tipm and/or the fuel pump(s) replaced at a jeep dealer at least three times. I do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle under any condition! I use it to tow my trailer and to go off-roading. What would happen if i was doing either one of these at the time of a failure! |
