While driving on the highway going approximately 60 miles per hour, I felt something in the engine go quiet and I instantly had no gas pedal power. My foot was pressing on the gas pedal all the way to the floor board and the jeep would not speed up. I instantly put on my hazard lights. The jeep was still running but had no fuel power. I was unable to move over to the right lane of the highway because the Jeep was crawling to a stop and cars were flying past me in the right lane. No warning lights or check engine lights ever came on. My daughter was in the Jeep with me. She called 911. The Jeep came to a complete stop and died. We were stuck in the vehicle and could not exit because cars were speeding past us on both sides of the vehicle. We were almost hit from behind by a semi trailer. It swerved to the right lane at the last moment. We called 911 again and they said police were on the way. A vehicle stopped in the right lane and let my daughter and I exit the Jeep on the passenger side. My daughter was crying hysterically because she was so shook up from almost being hit by the semi trailer. Police finally arrived and called a tow truck. The Jeep was towed to the dealer where it was purchased. The service department inspected the Jeep. Said the Jeep did not register any codes. It started and was driving normal. They say it could be the fuel pump. I’ve ordered a fuel pump but it is unavailable at this time. Not sure when it will come into the dealer. In the meanwhile, I’m terrified that this will happen again. I will not be driving it on the highway at all and will only drive it when necessary to run errands. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the service department at the dealer where the Jeep was purchased.

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler that I purchased in 2017. The vehicle does not have over 45,000 miles on it...yet it would not crank.....when it finally cranked, within a few feet it completely shut down....the dealer stated that it was the TIPM. that needs to be replaced.....after reading the complaint comments on several sites...I wanted to know why this part has not been recalled to date. This repair is very costly to me, and during these hard economic times, this process has been extremely stressful. The dealer stated that it might take up to 4 weeks to get my jeep back..this is soooo unfair that I would have to incorporate an additional cost that should have been recalled already.....Recall this Jeep wrangler asap please!!!..Thank you, [XXX].

When starting car -especially in cold weather-and backing out of parking area engine will stall/jar and at times die out requiring putting into park and restarting. Concern is if this happens in traffic it will cause an accident not being moved fast enough. There is a warranty on the vehicle and this has been an ongoing issue for 6mo + and is continuously questioned and evaluated. We've been told it has occurred in other jeeps and there is a fix but this has yet to be corrected for this vehicle.

I was driving on the interstate and the engine just died. I pulled over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle and when I put it in gear it acted as if it were in neutral. I then shut off the vehicle and restarted it and it drove fine. This happens randomly (could occur twice in one day or not for 2 weeks) and at different speeds (city and highway). I also have had random misfire codes and camshaft position sensor codes. Sometimes the codes clear on their own and I have had to reset the codes with a tuner. I spoke to the dealer and it will be around a week before they can look at it, even in light of the danger for an engine just dying.
