THIS IS THE FIRST OF 2 INCIDENTS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. I WAS COMING BACK INTO CALIFORNIA FROM ARIZONA ON THE 40 WEST WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 75 MPH. WITHOUT INDICATION, THE THROTTLE REVVED TO 4500 RPM AND THE CAR LOST SPEED. THE ENGINE WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL. I CANCELLED CRUISE CONTROL, AND FROM THE LEFT LANE WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE DIED. THE FUEL GAUGE READ JUST OVER 1/4 OF A TANK. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WE CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED AND WE HAD TO STAY THE NIGHT IN A HOTEL. THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TECH FOUND NO ISSUES AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH NO INCIDENT. THE DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED NO CODES OR ERRORS. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME THE REST OF THE WAY. MY JEEP IS A 4X4 WITH THE TRAIL RATED PACKAGE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY DAUGHTER CALLED FROM COLLEGE TO TELL ME HER TURN SIGNALS HEAD LIGHTS DASH LIGHTS AND WIPERS HAD ALL STOPPED WORKING. SHE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER WHO TOLD HER IT WAS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND COULD NOT WORK ON IT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. SHE HAD TO COME HOME IN THE RAIN, DRIVE 250 MILES WITH OUT TURN SIGNALS, LIGHTS OR WIPERS. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT THE JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND FIX IT. I STARTED LOOKING ON LINE AT SOME JEEP FORUMS AND FOUND SOME THINGS TO TRY. THE FIRST ONE I TRIED GOT EVERYTHING WORKING FOR NOW STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL ISSUES THOUGH AND JEEP IS NOT GOING TO ADMIT TO ANYTHING. ALL I DID WAS UNHOOK THE POSITIVE CABLE TO THE BATTERY AND RESET THE ON BOARD CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE JEEP. PLEASE PASS THIS INFO ON IT REALLY HELPED MY DAUGHTER AND SAVED A FORTUNE IN UNNECESSARY PARTS AND WORK FROM THE DEALER. *TR
