¿06 Jeep Wrangler looses power, bucks, shakes as of 20,000mi. Gas gage sometimes does not read correctly, ac goes warm at neutral, smelled burning, could not shift past 1st . Has had to be towed to dealer. Stalls and shakes intermittingly during moving and stopped positions. Has a rough idle, which at times is more severe than others, but has never died - just shook severely a few times. It intermittingly acts as if it is going to loose all power. This can occur several times in one day, 1 time during the day or not at all for 1 or several days in a row. There is no set pattern. It occurs during cold and hot weather, with electrical devices on or off, in neutral or drive, if the engine has warmed up or is still cold. Have taken it to dealer several times. Dealer tells me something is wrong but they are unsure of what. They have tried several times to replace or fix parts with no success. Chryslers star mechanics are now working on it. This vehicle is not safe. Dies at all speeds, times and road conditions.
