| Description of the problem | While driving my jeep 07 wrangler the engine stalled at approximately 35 mph while driving. The radio went dead and the steering became very stiff for 2 seconds. The car then restarted by itself while still moving down the road. The dashboard lit up just as it does when i turn the car on and the seat belt chime sounded 5 times just like it does upon startup. Within 15 minutes the whole process occurred a second time with the same result. The car briefly stalled then restarted while driving down a highway. I have previously been in touch with a dealership and they told me that my vin was not included in the recall for stalling engines but apparently they were wrong because this happened to me two times on one trip. I am going to stop by a different dealership and ask them to perform the tipm reset for me but want to alert others that their vehicle may be affected even though not listed in the recall notice. |
