| Description of the problem | The engine shut down while i was driving. I had just went around a corner and was heading up a small hill when i heard a beep and looked at the message which said "to shift ... Must be in park". I had no warning prior to this and was not able to pull to the side of the road. I was stalled in the road and was not able to restart the vehicle. I tried to restart my vehicle several times after ensuring it was in park, with no luck. I called for a tow, and while waiting, i tried to start the vehicle again and it finally started, so i cancelled the tow. When the engine shut down, i still had lights and radio and when trying to restart the vehicle the electronic portion worked (normal dash lights when starting), but the engine did not turn over. I was fortunate i was on a country road with not much traffic when this happened. I would hate to think what could have happened if i was on the highway or interstate. I have been a previous jeep owner and have never experienced this with any other jeep i owned. I will be taking my jeep in to see if the dealership can find an issue. I currently have 80,500 miles on it. I have a long commute to work and i have now lost confidence in this vehicle. |
