Faulty torque converter causes vehicle to stall.

Filed Feb 11, 2023 · Transmission · NY

Vehicle stalls when going into reverse mainly during first start of the day, but has happened throughout the day as well. Many people in online wrangler forums are attributing this to a faulty torque converter. No symptoms prior to this failure but it’s affecting many jeeps with low mileage like mine.

Multiple dealerships are unable to diagnose my vehicle with anything wrong. I experience my vehicle stalling to turn on. It has now escalated to stalling and turning on but shutting down as soon as it turns on then I restart it but it stalls then turns on. The last time this occurred was yesterday 2/9/22 and it was right at entrance of freeway. II am lucky the vehicle did not shut down on the freeway with my two children inside of it and cause a collision. We could have been killed or caused a disastrous crash. This issue has been going on since I purchased the vehicle in 2019. There are no warning lamps to indicate something is wrong but there is documentation I have taken to two dealerships to fix issue but they cannot determine what is wrong with it. I have called Jeep and my extended warranty (Fidelity) and they both said they can’t do anything for me until my car shows a return on computer that says something is wrong with it. I see a recall online (recall # 18V524000) from 08/08/2018 on cars.com that describes the issue I am experiencing. I have videos I recorded of my car stalling before turning on since I have been reporting the issue. I contacted Jeep customer service (Case # 81910661) and they told me nothing can be done until something “happens” with my vehicle. I asked if I am supposed to get into a car accident before something is done. I asked for issue to be escalated and she said it cannot be escalated to legal team until something “happens” with vehicle. Please help me. Something is wrong with the vehicle. It is currently at the dealership once again so they can “monitor it” turning it off and on daily. Last time it was at dealer just sitting there for 2 weeks and they were not able to find out the issue or experience the stall. Consumer stated there is a safety issue with the vehicle stalling when starting and shutting down when driven.

Jeep has been randomly just shutting off- whether I have been driving for an hour, or the following day- when I go to start it, all lights show up but it will not turn on. I get out of the car with the key and find that my remote start always works. I have taken my car to the dealership, they said I need a new battery? I got the battery checked two weeks ago and all was fine. Several times that my car does not turn on the electrial light shows up on my dash. I have found many people have had this same issue- however MOPAR has not recalled it. Recall Number 18V524000, Report Data Aug 9, 2018- Electrical System- Wiring, front underhood. __The powertrain control module may be equipped with a voltage regulator chip in the circuit board that may fail, causing a stall or a no start condition. I have seen the electrical light on my dashboard, however this is always random. The dealership says to replace the battery, which when they sent over the results they didnt even show what it mesaured. This seems to an issue with fellow Jeep owners and should be recalled and added to the MOPAR website.

Intermmittent stalling when put in reverse. Happens more frequently in cold weather. Has shuttered several times and one stall when put in drive but happens mostly when reversing. This has been going on since winter 2019 with no resolution after dealership checked it out. Hard to diagnose because it doesn't happen every time.

Constantly pops a check engine light and traction control light comes on goes into limp mode. Stalls no light. Same exact problem we had with 2015 wrangler. If we take it to the dealer they cant get it to replicate problem. Garbage

Vehicle briefly loses power and engine temporarily turns off while driving. Sometimes this occurs within 1 second total, and is barely noticed. However, today it occurred for nearly 5-10 seconds, and I was almost rear-ended in traffic due to it. Vehicle was in motion, in the city, on a major street, driving straight without any hazards or extreme weather conditions. Has occurred over 20 times since purchasing vehicle approximately one year ago. Vehicle was purchased new.
