Description of the problem | At about 11am, 11 september 2019, my 2015 jeep grand cherokee 4-wd limited shut down on the roadway. Travel speed prior to engine failure was about 20mph. During the breakdown, the ecodiesel, 3. 0l engine stalled while making loud metallic-chattering noise. After the key-less ignition was pressed to off, a re-start was attempted but that failed. The starter motor refused to operate when re-start was attempted. Because re-start failed, the shift remained locked into park. With the vehicle locked into park, it blocked the middle of the roadway. Intervention by local police prevented further damage to vehicle and driver. There was little warning of problems prior to the engine failure. A louder-than-usual diesel rumble was reported to a jeep service representative on 18 june 2019, but this sound was judged |
