| Description of the problem | Wrangelr rubicon 2 dr stalling at interstate / highway speed, started doing this at approx 10,000 miles. Started doing this 152 miles in to a 320 mile trip and did this numerous times between 10,000 and 10,090 miles were i had to pull over on the interstate as the vehicle engine quit completely or sometimes you could pump the gas and the engine would come back to life, but not often. Filled up with gas at 10,090, thought maybe i had gotten bad gas however it happened again approx 68 miles into the new full tank of gas and continued happening at highway speed were i would have to pull over and it would die. Jeep restarted everytime, sometimes it would take numerous times to restart. This situation is very dangerous. I limped to my destination only to discover that most chyrsler/jeep dealer service departments are closed on saturdays so looks like i am stuck until monday to get it to a dealer in a different state from where i live. Can't believe it. |
