Engine stalls while driving. Two cases in which this occurs: 1) after fueling the vehicle, if "topped off", the engine will stall when driving resumes. 2) random times, driving the car. . . When stopped, then turning left, the engine will stall in traffic (engine light comes on). Able to restart, but engine makes terrible noise (whining) on first restart attempt. The engine stall issue appears common to this vehicle (per internet search). Stalling in traffic or during turns creates safety hazard to driver and other drivers in the area.
9-speed auto transmission which mine has rough, delayed or sudden shifting or failure to shift conditions with grinding or other loud noise during shifting � harsh engagement of gears; sudden or harsh acceleration/deceleration; sudden loss of power; premature transmission wear or failure.
While driving down the highway going 65 miles an hour the transmission made a horrible sound and just went bezerk. All I could do is put on my hazards and coast to the side. It would not go into any gear not even park. I was almost hit by several vehicles trying just to get over. He had it towed to the dealership where we were told it was fixed on our way home it did the same thing again. I am literally terrified to drive this vehicle again.
On 12/19/14 while driving, my veh stalled without warning. There was no warning lights illuminated before, during/after its failure. I had to have the car towed. After inspection, I was told that the engine of my new Jeep was burning oil. The Jeep recently had been in for an oil change & rtd with the multi point inspection paperwork indicating everything was ok. Herb chambers, although diagnosising the Jeep to be "burning oil" insisted, at the direction of Chrysler protocol, that I drive it 5,000 miles and return it for further inspect. Only after my husband got involved did they keep the car, drive it, and eventually install a new engine. On 5/6/2015 the Jeep lost power descending a hill. The check transmission light illuminated. The vehicle was returned home & driven to herb chamber. After inspt the Jeep now needed a new transmission. According to Jeep, the transmission has an internal leak. Again, 3 wks earlier, the car was at the dealership for tire rotation and oil change. The mulit point inspection, indicated all fluids, incd the trans fluid was ok. While the Jeep was being fixed, I also expressed concern over rubbing noise when turning. New bushings were placed into the Jeep. We have sent emails & made phone calls to Chrysler and have not heard back. We are driving a new veh that has proven unsafe and unreliable w/o any remedy from the mfgr. I would like other Jeep owners to be aware of the reoccurring probs with this Jeep. I believe the release of the Jeep was delayed due to transmission problems & that possibly is/was a recall (of which we were never notified). I also believe the axel/bushings is a recall (again one we were never notified of) nor would it have been repaired if we did not request it be checked. Chrysler has not made any effort to remedy this situation. On all occassions, we the consumer, had to reach out to them.
