![]() ![]() There weren't any check engine lights and no codes ever popped up in the computer or on my message board. I would get the Jeep to a complete stop and either put it in park or neutral and it would fire right back up again without hesitation and drive perfectly normal. The engine would stall and I wouldn't even realize it until needing to use the brakes or turn the wheel because everything else functioned fine and worked as it should. It mostly seemed to occur when taking my foot off of the accelerator pedal and coasting before coming to a stop. The stalling was random and inconsistent and was always a surprise/scare. The Jeep would just stall without warning or any kind of symptoms letting me know something was wrong and it was about to do this. I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude 5.7 Hemi that had the same issues. I am clearing not the only one with this life threating issue. So I am now putting this put there do when I crash into you the next time it dies we all know who to go after. ![]() Chrystler Jeep, South Oak Jeep do not seem too concern that there vehicles just shut off while driving.

On a busy road that is 55 miles I am coming up to a 4 way stop and my vehicle will not stop. (Turns out they never called the extended warranty to even see). They said it was not covered under the warranty. South Oak Jeep could not figure put the issue but said they cleaned the throttle blade and reset electric throttle and adaptive memor, road tested for 5 miles and verified okay now. I called the extended warranty company who said they cannot say if the tow will be covered until they know what wrong with it from the dealer to see if it is a covered item. At this point I was scared to drive and the dealer would not tow it in. Upon contacting the dealer they told me to bring it in. At first I thought maybe the key fab was getting hit and shutting off.
