| Description of the problem | I initially purchased this jeep at 45,000 miles. It now has 98,000 miles. This issue has now happened at least 5 times in this time span. The first few times i thought it may be just a coincidence but now it is starting to scare me that there could be an issue. Because it can not be replicated at the mechanic,s no one can pinpoint what the problem could be. The jeep will just die spontaneously. There is no warning that it is coming. Luckily i have always been going slow through a parking lot with no other cars in my way. I am able to control the car to a stop and then restart it. This past week i became more nervous however as it happened while i was making a left turn from a major street on to a residential street. I was able to control the car to the side of the residential road while turning however, if there had been cars on the street i was making the left too or i had not given more time for the cars coming at me during the turn this could have equaled a major accident. I am seeing through my research that i am not the only one experiencing this. |
