| Description of the problem | Vehicle purchased used 09-09-18 1st stall 09-25-18 dealer serviced and only found a computer update was needed. Car picked up from dealer after 1st repair on 10-05-18. We picked up the car on 10-05-18 & drove it home and it wasn't until the next day when the 2nd stall occurred. Same exact thing but this time we were on a busy street and could have been in an accident. 2nd stall incident was on 10-06-18 early afternoon i was on was driving the vehicle and it started to make this weird nose luckily i was almost home so i came to stop to make a left turn and waited for traffic to clear as i let go of the brake and pressed the gas to acclerate the car stalled wouldnt move or go forward. I then tried to see if it would go in reverse and changed gears but it wouldn't this time there was no error of "vehicle not in park" the vehicle just wouldnt move, go forward even though it was in drive and i was stuck on a busy street waiting for traffic to clear to make a left turn. I thank god it didnt go forward just a little cause it could have been fatal. I then tried shutting off the car to see if i could be get it to move and put it back to drive and it still wouldn't accelerate. I had to shut it off a couple of times before i was able to drive. There was a recall on other 2017 vehicles for an electrical system:wiring:front underhood where the powertrain control module may be equipped with a voltage regulator chip in the circuit board that may fail, causing a stall or a no start condition. Can you please check if this is similar because we just picked up the vehicle on 10-05-18 after nothing was found wrong and only a computer update was done. We had the car for a day and it is on its way back to ontario jeep to see if they can find out whats wrong. Please advise what could be done. |
