All kinds of codes came on Jeep locked up couldnt steer almost wrecked. Had to toll now dealership says its the engine after saying it was the starter.
Failure to start, randomly when vehicle is stationary. Visible pertaining component parts such as battery, ignition switch, starter and voltage all in good order. After 30 minute waiting period car will start. Steering wheel movement when exiting vehicle appears to trigger problem, quite often. Has occurred 8 times in 4 months. Dealer showed no error codes.
Vehicle will not start after light to moderate use. After using the vehicle for 20-30 minutes and it is turned off, the vehicle will not always start back up. If the transmission temperature indicator does not switch from 163 degrees to above 200 degrees, the vehicle will not immediately start back up if it is turned off. It seems that the vehicle is sending the wrong temperature to the starter and it is preventing it from reading the correct temperature which would allow proper startup. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle and I took it to the dealership to have it looked at but they said they were unable to help me since the vehicle would not replicate the problem. I showed them video footage of the vehicle not starting but they said they still could not help me unless they could reproduce the issue. This has happened at least ten times now since I purchased the vehicle. There is a recall for this problem (u87) but for some reason, my vehicle's VIN number is not part of the recall.
