problem #4

Wrangler

  • miles
While accelerating, vehicle refused to shift into second gear and losing power while attempting to accelerate onto the interstate. With the pedal all the way down, the vehicle was going 5mph. No warning lights, sounds or messages were provided. This could have been fatal as it occurred at a merge point on a 70mph interstate. Upon dealership review, the high pressure fuel pump has malfunctioned requiring replacement under 50,000 miles.

Back in July 2022, I went to turn on my Wrangler and the light show began. Took it to the dealership where they identified over 50 error codes. Some of the main ones I was able to see in the instrument cluster were "Service Shifter", "Service Antilock Break System", "Service 4WD", "Traction control Failure" and "Emergency Break" light on when E-Break was not engaged. Four (4) Months later and over 10 back and forth visits to the dealership, the problem still persists after being told "we test drove it 50+ miles and we see no problem". They have since replaced three (3) Body Control Modules. Why am I writing this report? Because in the situation when those warning lamps turn on and I am actively driving the vehicle, I've experienced the following concerns: 1.) Stopped at a stop light and the engine shut off. Then it takes a few frantic tries to turn the vehicle back on - this happened twice. 2.) Drove on the highway when the gears stopped shifting causing the engine to rev incredibly fast - this happened once. 3.) Increased resistance from steering wheel while steering while on highway speeds. 4.) Gear shifter locks - happens often, but typically only when I initially turn on the vehicle; Doesn't allow to move the shifter out of Park. As you'll see by my answers on the form, my vehicle has low miles and is kept in prestine condition.

When driving above 55mph both times the vehicle starts to vilently shake and slow down and jerk, complete lost of power, can push peddle down and vehicle just boggs down and revs up then down. Eventually dies and then you must shut down vehicle with key. Wait about 1 minute start and it drives fine. Has happen multiple times been into shop. They have "flashed" computers but continues to do randomly.
