| Description of the problem | Several times in the past 3 months (6-8 times), without warning, the car shuts off. The engine completely stops regardless of in motion or accelerating from a stop. It has happened each way. It shuts off, and the vehicle computer provides a message that you must be in park to start the vehicle. I shift to park and it starts up again. When it shuts off the power steering goes and you cannot control the direction of the vehicle. There are no symptoms and no warning but i see enough of the same complaint that i am reporting it. It has not happened at highway speed yet, and i am afraid it might based on the other jeep owners comments. |
