1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2020

My wife was driving the Jeep and it turned off on her twice trying to get it back home. All electrical went out and engine stalled. After the second time it only goes 10 mph and still stalls and powers off. It is very dangerous and I feel something should be done from the number of complaints on the web.

Everytime I refuel my vehicle, the engine stalls at least twice until the fuel needle is below the fuel mark. I don't overfill my vehicle, so I wonder why is this happening!.

4 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2012

The engine stalled after driving at highway speeds. Stalling occurs more often when I have been in traffic for a long period of time. Traveling at highway speeds then slowing down to stop in traffic then attempting to accelerate has cause the car to stall on several occasions. The car was taken to the dealership and the service center was told about the issue. They claimed that it was a software problem. The software was updated and the issue stopped for a bit. After approximately 3 weeks the stalling happened again.
