Crankshaft Position Sensor Problems of Jeep Wrangler

Vehicle stalled while in motion on a highway. This has been a consistent issue for the last several years. I believe it first occurred in 2016. The vehicle will just stall on a city street, in a residential area, or even on the highway. Fuel was not related as it has happened on a full tank of gas or a quarter tank. It was taken to the Jeep dealership on multiple occasions (that has been documented) because of this dangerous hazard, and they were not able to replicate so it was never fixed. I even showed them video evidence 3 times. The vehicle just stalls randomly while driving (in the middle of high speed traffic). The rpm would just go to zero, and when trying to start the car back up, it would try to crank, but would not start. The car would have to be turned off for 5 minutes and then the car would eventually start again. This would occur at least 1/month for several months. The Jeep dealership replaced fuel pump, and checked other components as the engine light never turned on, and they could not find the resolution to this issue. This is a highly dangerous problem and seems to be very common among this model year Jeep, and Jeep continues to claim no fault. Someone could die if their car stalled on the highway with cars going 70+ mph. An experienced driver may be able to maneuver, but certainly an inexperienced driver would not. This vehicle was intended to be for a teenage child, but I could not knowingly give this to them having this unresolved issue. After much research, I believe it is a faulty or defective crankshaft position sensor, but Jeep refuses to acknowledge this and continues to say this is not the issue, yet the car has continued to stall on various occasions still. They should be liable for any serious injury or death that may potentially occur! I will be taking this vehicle to be repaired elsewhere after my own research and troubleshooting.

Engine quits going down the highway, creating loss of power steering and power brakes. Once I pulled over to shoulder of road, it would restart only to produce the same result several minutes later while driving. Suspected fault in crankshaft sensor, or corrosion in electrical connections to such. This is the second Jeep that this has occurred on, very dangerous to occur while driving at high speeds down the highway.

I own a 2004 Jeep Wrangler with a 4. 0 I-6 engine. Within the past 2 weeks, the vehicle has stalled on the highway 3 different times. The following applies to all 3 incidents. . . Once I got the vehicle over to the shoulder and stopped, the engine would not restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the crankshaft position sensor was diagnosed as faulty and thus replaced. The crankshaft position sensor was replaced three times. All 3 incidents of failure have occurred at highway speeds. This raises my safety concern since I can not accelerate and safely pull to the shoulder, especially when the surrounding vehicles are at highway speeds. The incident date posted was the date of the third and most recent incident the second incident occurred on may 23, 2004 and the first incident occurred on may 18, 2004.
