Second incident: same conditions as first incident, 8+ hours parked in garage temp approx 75f, takes 3 attempts before starting. Third incident: same day as second incident. Conditions are temp approx 85f 10pm at night I had been parked at walmart shopping inside for about 45 minutes. It had been raining so I go to parking spot to get Jeep to pick up wife from the front of store. It struggles to start after 3 attempts, I back-ed out of parking spot and drive towards front of store. As I am nearing the front of store the vehicle starts hesitating and dies while in motion. It died like it was out of fuel (fuel gauge read about 7/8ths full). Placed vehicle in part, restarted and drove 1. 5 miles home. 15 July 2015 I called around noon to make an appt at dealership to have problem diagnosed, made appt for Monday 20 july2015 at 7am. A few hours later when I was leaving work I get in the vehicle and it takes 3 attempts before it starts it died almost immediately. I cranked and ran on 4th attempt. I called wife while on my way home and uconnect failed in the middle of my call. I went straight to dealership and now they are trying to work it into their schedule for diagnosis.
