Four problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2013 Jeep Wrangler engine shuts down very intermittently when driving at interstate speeds and city speeds, it has happened many times, leaving me with no power steering or power brakes, I find this a safty hazzard. . . It's been to the dealership four times without anything resolved.
My 2013 Wrangler unlimited has recently started to stall while driving. It happens randomly, 4 times in the last 3. 5 months - the latest was today and yesterday. It starts again after sitting about 5-10 minutes or disconnecting the battery and seems to drive fine otherwise. No lights go off, it just dies and I loose power steering. This has happened in lower gears as well as higher. The dealership states they have never heard of this problem and advised me that they would not be able to do much since no dash lights go off. I have bought a code reader and no codes are thrown. It happened while driving on a major highway doing 65-70 mph while in the middle lane. The car literally just shuts off with no notice. My family could have been killed! in short. . . Car was moving then shut down for no reason.
Driving on highway and the engine shut off for no apparent reason. When the engine is off there is a loss of power steering etc. This has happened several times. Starting at about 32,000 miles. The dealership has tried to fix it but the vehicle still has this problem.
I have 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. I'm having an issue the the vehicle shutting off while in operation. There are no warning light or any indications. This has happened 3 times to me so far. First time was in late August, my girlfriend and I were heading home from work. 2nd time was on 9/16/17, and most current was yesterday 9/26/17. It happens at any speed, once it shuts off, it won't start back up right away, usually you have to let it sit for 10-15 minutes. If you try to start it before it will sound like it is trying to turn over but will not. The 1st time it happened I took it to my mechanic, he hooked it up to the computer and it came back with no open codes. At the point I'm not sure what to do. Dealership will not return call. Hate to just replace items if it is not going to fix the problem. All 3 times this had happened on local road ways, on sunny clear days, and the vehicle was in motion all three times. I do feel lucky so far our kids have not been in the Jeep nor have we been on an interstate traveling 70 mph. Having your vehicle just shut off puts you in danger from all the other drivers.
