While driving making a turn, shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and vehicle stalls losing all power. I had a crank no-start scenario! The vehicle has been to the deal multiple times and the issue can not be duplicated. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times and there are no known issues. No-fault codes are thrown. I was able to cost to a safe location, and wait. after 3-5 min the vehicle restarted.

Attempted to start my jeep on the street parking and the alarm went off, horn blaring, wipers and fluid on constant, all lights flashing, reverse lights on, and it would not start. Pulled the total integrated power module (tipm) and sent it out for repair. Was told the tipm was in complete failure and had to be replaced. Searched the web and found that 2007-2015 tipms should be recalled and it was rejected.

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.

Jeep had random "jolt" while driving down the road at speed. Then a really hard jolt in february that stalled the engine while driving down the interstate at 60 MPH. Would not start for 10 minutes, then did. I have taken to two different dealers who say that they can't replicate the problem. Not safe and they should have to figure out the problem and fix it.

This has happened twice, the first time I was on a city street and while driving approximately 40 miles an hour the engine stalled and I lost the power steering and braking. The vehicle was still moving, I put the vehicle in neutral and tried to restart the vehicle. It would not start. We pulled over and called the dealership. While I was on the phone with them, about 10 minutes later, trying to get it in a position for the wrecker, my wife tried to start it and it restarted. We drove it home and had a wrecker come get it because we were afraid to drive it 20 minutes to the dealership. They felt like is was the fuel pump and replaced it. I picked it up and it drove fine for a few weeks and did the exact same thing except this time I was on the interstate driving about 60 miles an hour and fortunately I was in the inside lane and pulled over. Tried to restart it and after waiting 10 to 15 minutes it restarted again. I drove it to the dealership where it is right now with them trying to determine the problem.

2012 jeep wrangler sport 3.6l vehicle does not start at random. Vehicle has stalled at highway speeds. All electrical will turn on but jeep will not crank over or make any attempt to start. Wipers turn on, their own. Battery, and starter have both been checked. Evidence leads to faulty tipm sensor but because the chrysler dealership can not duplicate the error after 5 tries they said they can not replace the tipm. Dealership states they can not just throw parts at it to fix the issue even with hundreds to thousands of other chrysler products having the same issue.

I experienced a serious problem with my 2012 jeep sahara. After accelerating and passing another car while driving, I lifted off the accelerator, but my jeep continued to accelerate. I tapped several times on the accelerator, then tapped the brake a couple of times in case the speed control somehow engaged. I then tried to see if I could lift the accelerator from below with my foot, but it wasn't depressed. The jeep was continuing to accelerate and at this point I was going well over 80 MPH. Finally I was left with no choice but to depress the clutch and take the vehicle out of gear. I quickly shut down the engine as the revs went through the roof. I coasted onto a side road and attempted to restart my jeep, but it wouldn't turn over. I turned the ignition to the off position and removed the key, put the key back in and turned the ignition at which point it turned over and after about 5 or 6 secs it finally restarted and everything seemed normal. I checked around the accelerator and the floor mat was securely in place and there was nothing around the accelerator to cause it to stick. I have never experienced anything like this before in my life and am 110% sure that the problem was not driver error. My feet were completely off any of the peddles while the jeep continued to accelerate and as I had a clear road ahead of me, I very methodically and calmly took the actions I outlined above in the attempt to reduce the engine speed with no affect until I finally had to shut it down.
