| Description of the problem | While driving the car on the morning of february 16, 2020, my vehicle engine turned off without warning while taking a left turn at approximately 10mph. Once the turn was complete and i pressed the pedal to accelerate, there was no response. All electronics were still on, but the speedometer showed 0mph and the engine was not running. I rolled to a stop on the shoulder and pressed the ignition to turn of the electrical systems. When pressing the ignition to restart the vehicle, it struggled to start but was successful. I continued my commute to work. It is easy to understand the risk associated with a total loss of engine power while driving on public streets. Especially since the power steering was not functioning either. I still have no indication of what caused the failure and will consult my local jeep dealer. |
