Twice in last 2yrs my standard Wrangler has refused to shift into geer and made a winding noise. . Then stalled and refused to start for upto 10 min. It happend last fal with approx 2900 miles on it then again a few days ago with 4800 miles. . . Not sure why or what is cause nothing is wrong according to dealership garage. Also hitting any little bump for the last 30000 miles has made Jeep jump like the rearend is flopping to one side also hard breaking causes same issue. . All suspension parts are either new or newer. . Looks like someone tried to fix that issue and failed. . . I am afraid these issues will eventually cause an accident.
