I was on the highway came to a stop at a traffic light the jeep stalled and would not restart (no crank, no start). The traffic light was on a incline of a hill, the jeep was too heavy for one person to push up, and rolling backwards into oncoming 60+MPH traffic was not a option. A group of good citizens helped push the jeep to safety. Battery was fully charged, but security light was on, preventing a restart. In addition when the key is turn to the start position the check engine light does not light up as normal. Plus ECM is not connecting to the scan tool. Scan tool displays connection error. The ECM failed. Before the failure the jeep ran perfect.

When pushed to speed up at a fast rate and upon approaching 65mph or faster the service engine light flashes slowly. My mechanic found the code reader saying a misfire was happening. When that light flashes it starts to shake pretty bad. Determined that cylinder 1 has low compression. Only way to find out for sure what to do next is to tear down the motor which I do not have the money for that. Sad how waistful people are forced to be with vehicles. Its still pretty new!! We took good care of this jeep maintaining it correctly since we got it with only 37k miles and has not had any problems till now. So this was a shock! Before 37k miles I am not aware of this particular jeep's engine repair history. Also this same jeep had the clogged fuel line causing the tank to spill out while fueling up when it was not full yet.
