| Description of the problem | On 4 different occasions now the jeep has completely shut down under normal driving conditions in moving traffic. There are no symptoms that lead up to the incidents. At various speeds and at various times all of the lights on the dashboard will come on for a second, then they all go off, the radio shuts off, and the engine dies as if the ignition has been turned off. The engine and lights will stay off for an average of a 4 to 6 seconds and the vehicle will start back up as if nothing happened. This is a huge safety concern in the fact that during this time period all vehicle control is lost. This has happened at highway speeds. I have taken the jeep to the dealership more than once regarding this problem. They report that they cannot duplicate the issue, and pretty much act as if it is a non-issue since they can't reproduce the problem.*ak |
