| Description of the problem | My brand new 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara, after only 8 days and 499 miles stalled today while driving. It actually stalled 6 times total withing a 2 mile trip home. The instrument cluster lit up like a christmas tree, the radio went out and the engine stalled, taking the power brakes and steering with it. The engine would not restart, just clicked. After waiting 5 minutes or so, the engine turned over, only to stall within a half mile and the process repeated itself 4 times after that. Now my check engine light remains on and the car is at the dealership. I am afraid that chrysler did not infact take care of the stalling recall of last model year(2007) and that the new model year is affected with this stall bug as well. I am concerned because when it happened i was doing a whopping 5 mph, i am concerned it could happen at highway speeds and cause great injury to me or my wife or others. I ask you please look into this and/or keep it on record for future notices to potentially recall other wranglers. Thank you for your time on this matter. Please feel free to contact me for further information. |
