| Description of the problem | My jeep wrangler 2012 jku will shut off in the middle of the road while running. I have a 18 month old that rides in the backseat and there have been multiple times that i have felt very unsafe for his life and mine. I have replaced 2 batteries as i thought that was the issue. Now i am sure it is the tipm is faulty. My jeep has under 60k miles on it. Chrysler/fiat needs to put a recall on these as they are junk and should not have been made so bad as they are the brain of the suv. This has happened while driving or stationary on city street, turning, and highway ramps. |
