2010 Jeep Wrangler: engine stalls while driving

Filed Oct 9, 2019 · Lights · 112,000 miles · MO

Headlights will not turn off while driving down the road. Fog lights work, but headlights and high beams shut off completely. Then randomly will turn on. This can last for days or even months. Then it happens again.

The emergency brake on my 2010 wrangler does not hold the vehicle on any sort of incline. The virginia code for a parking/ emergency brake states that it must stall the vehicle in 2nd gear (it does) but the brake will not maintain the position of the vehicle on the slightest incline. I'm concerned that the vehicle may roll away into the road and cause harm to others. Furthermore, if I were to be in the vehicle then I may become trapped with it rolling in to traffic. This is a common issue on the early 2007-2017 body style wrangler and needs attention before it causes serious harm.

Just purchased this jeep a few weeks ago and, even though we knew the tipm was a known issue, we thought perhaps it would not surface for a few months or years. Well 2 weeks ago, the check engine light started beeping. A few days later, it would not start. Then today the dashboard lights started flashing & beeping and a few minutes after that, the engine stalled. Although I was able to restart it, 10 minutes later it stalled again & I could not restart it & nothing was coming on - no hazards / lights / engine lights. Another 10 minutes and I noticed the lights were back on so I tried to start it again . Engine tried to turn over but unfortunately it didn't start. Waited another few minutes & it finally started. Was able to drive it home & am not going to make the appointment to get the tipm replaced. Jeep needs to own this problem and make it a recall. Its terrifying knowing that I could have been on the highway when the car died.

My headlights and marker lights would not shut off unless I disconnected the battery. Windshield wipers would randomly come on and not shut off. Changed out the accessory switch and that didn't fix anything. Changed some fuses and the problem seemed to be resolved. The next day my jeep wouldn't start. Jumped it without a problem and about a half a mile down the road while driving all of the dash lights started flashing. My jeep engines motor stalled while in motion on a busy city street with a speed limit of 40 MPH, fortunately I had just started slowing down for the red light so an accident did not occur. I sat in the middle of the busy road for ten minutes waiting for the police to push me to an empty parking lot. Due to these symptoms and the previous investigation (the federal safety agency defect investigation #dp14004), I believe I have a faulty tipm. The local repair shop in hubbard, ohio looked over the jeep for bad grounds and wires and nothing was found. On march 6, 2016, the jeep's headlights would not shut off unless the vehicle was shut off, the fog lights light on the dash flashed and the windshield wipers would come on with the fog light switch. The headlights would shut off when I shut the jeep off and removed the key, so I dealt with the problem for a few days until it went away on its own. I'm hoping this is the last of my tipm issues.

The problem is and has been with first gear (6 speed manual transmission). Within the first year of ownership the local jeep dealer was asked about the "popping-out" of first gear. They said that they could not get it to do so while they had it in their possession. Within the last two (2) months it has gotten to be not only an annoyance, but a safety issue. Safety in that pulling out in traffic becomes an "adventure." there is no confidence that it will not pop-out leaving the vehicle momentarily in a stalled condition with approaching oncoming traffic. One week ago it was taken again to the local jeep dealer. Warranty expired this past april. The problem was acknowledged and the cost for them to repair this problem was stated to be $6,000. {note: online we have noticed many concerns and complaints identical to ours. In fact, many jeep dealers have used the exact same line "we could not get it to occur." apparently there has also been a tsb issued by jeep addressing the issue of the first gear popping problem}

The problem happened 3 times. Two at very low speeds during the day, and once at night at high speed. The first time it happened, I was driving the jeep and the engine stalled. It was hard to steer, but I was moving slow. I thought it was a weird fluke. I put the car in park and restarted it with no problem. The second time it my husband was driving, we had just pulled out of our neighborhood and the jeep stalled. The breaks don't work well, and the steering is difficult. He put the jeep in neutral and restarted it with no problem. The third time it happened, was on january 10, 2015. I was driving at night with my child on a long trip. I had been driving the jeep for several hours on the interstate. It happened at around 10:00 pm - it was very dark. I was in the passing lane going about 65 MPH when the engine stalled, the headlights went out, all the interior lights went out, dashboard went dark, and I knew from the previous two times, that if I applied the breaks or tried to steer, it would be very difficult. I decided that I didn't want to look down and try to find neutral and accidentally put it in a low gear. So I turned the ignition switch and everything came back on (engine, light inside and out, power steering, and power breaks) while the jeep was in drive traveling at 65 MPH. I took it to the jeep dealer to have it repaired. They told me that the trans range sensor went bad. My main concern is - why is the engine stalling and jeep losing all power while moving when the sensor goes bad? There was no warning light to let me know a sensor was bad. Are all jeeps designed with this sensor, and will all jeeps experience the same thing if their trans range sensor goes bad, or was it just something that happened with my specific vehicle?

In approx nov of 2012 I started having problems with fuel overflowing on ground/feet when filling gas tank. There would be a quart or better of fuel that would spill. After the fourth occurance I had dealership check it out while in for routine oil change. On february 6, 2013, I was advised that the vent had failed on the gas tank and the gas tank needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, there is a minimun three week back order on jeep gas tanks from chrysler. Dealership told me they are seeing a high number of filler neck and tank failures, causing the delay in obtaining parts. I was told this is not a recall, but I am still covered under warranty. Now jeep feels like it is going to stall while idiling. Dealership advised this is probably related to the gas tank not venting.
