My jeep shuts off while driving on city roads and going up hills with other vehicles present, no codes show up, dash lights turn red when vehicle is off, my jeep makes funny noises when turned off, take it to the dealership over 3 months since I bought it 3 months ago and they can't fix it. They don't know what is wrong with it. They've tired everything and still nothing. It's going back in again because it shut off on me going up a hill. This jeep is now becoming dangerous to myself. Yet the jeep still isn't giving codes. I had to go buy a car scan device plug it in and record data of what is going on with the jeep so that the dealership can see. Do I have to go off a cliff or get into a really bad accident before this problem is found or fixed. I've only had this vehicle for 3 months. I bought it on february 21,2020 and it started acting up on february 28,2020 and still is on may 16, 2020 and it is becoming a nightmare. I'm spending money to get it fixed because the dealership is charging me because my extended warranty doesn't cover it. I was told when I bought it that there was nothing wrong with it but that was a lie. I need help figure this out. The dealership didn't make sure that this vehicle was safely operational before selling it. It over heated because they didn't check fluid. My heated seats were burnt out. My dash lights flicker on and off. They replaced something behind my dash but it didn't fix the issue. I think it made it worse. As of right now my jeep shuts up at least once a week which puts me in a dangerous position because I get stuck either on the side of the road sitting sideways or almost off of a cliff or in the middle of the road with nowhere to go because I have no power steering the jeep does it start back up for anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes.

All power was lost while driving down the freeway at 65 MPH. Lost power steering and the engine died. There was no warning that there was a problem. This could have been a serious accident. Found other instances of this happening on the internet: http://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/wrangler/2013/engine-shut-off-without-warning-problems.php

My 2013 jeep wrangler engine shuts down very intermittently when driving at interstate speeds and city speeds, it has happened many times, leaving me with no power steering or power brakes, I find this a safty hazzard... It's been to the dealership four times without anything resolved.

My jeep wrangler has stalled out while driving 2x and then does not restart even though it is cranking over. After 15 minutes of sporadic attempts to restart it starts and runs fine. I replaced the cam position sensor and the map sensor at the dealer after the first instance and drove 4000 miles without a problem. It just happened again today. It does not stutter like poor gas delivery or cough it just quits losing power steering and power breaks while I am going down the road.

In several occasions the jeep would completely turn off at red lights or after complete stops. I took the jeep to the dealership 4 different times and was told nothing was wrong. On friday 11/14/14 I was going 60 MPH on the highway when the jeep suddenly lost speed and immediately turned off/stalled, I lost steering power. It was very difficult to get out of the traffic. The jeep did not turn back on until 45 minutes later as I waited for the tow truck. I was again told by the dealership that the computer diagnosis is not detecting any malfunction, really???
