| Description of the problem | Car will not start successfully due to faulty electrical grounds not present. When car is in park at random times the car will not start. However, if you put the car in neutral gear will start successfully. I have had this problem for 3 years now and have spent money replacing the battery, starter. These repairs did not and will not resolve this problem. Based on my research and other jeep owners the work around is to start the car in neutral when this happens or add ground wires from the battery to the engine block and from the transmission to resolve. This should be a recall from the manufacture and not a out of pocket expense to the owners. *tt |
