Description of the problem | In august 2016 driving along and the car stalled and the engine light and electrical light and my 4 wheel drive light came on. The four wheel drive stayed on as well and the car sputtered then stopped. Would not go. Had it towed to a mechanic and he said the electronic body throttle needed replaced. Ridiculous,i contacted the dealership but didn't hear back so i had it fixed and replaced. Monday decemeber 12th while driving home from work at 45 miles an hour my jeep stalled and then completely died on the road. I managed to get it off the road at a coast. Had it towed again and the mechanic said i need a new engine. This is what happened the mechanic said "due to abrasive debris in the balance shaft bearings, these engines may have a loss of engine oil pressure, possibly resulting in an engine stall or engine failure," said nhtsa in its summary of the problem. "if the engine stalls while driving, it may increase the risk of a crash." the same as the recall,i called the dealership and they said my warranty expired and my jeep was not on the recall. Just because it wasn't on the list does not mean there could not be the same problem. My jeep did the same thing twice while driving,stalled and then died. |
