Consumer Description

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART. ELECTRICAL SEEMS TO KEEP WORKING AND ENGINE WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT RESTART. LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A COUPLE HOURS AND IT MAY RESTART. HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO DEALER AND DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. ON THE 3RD BREAKDOWN THE DEALER INSTALLED THESE NEW PARTS MODULE FUEL PUMP, MODULE FUEL PUMP LEVEL UNIT, LEVEL UNI-AUXILIARY UNIT, TUBE-FUEL TRANSFER, FUEL MODULE SEAL. I HAVE DROVE THE JEEP A COUPLE THOUSAND MILE SINCE THE REPAIR. ITS HARD TO TELL IF ITS ACTUALLY REPAIRED BECAUSE THE JEEP WOULD RUN OVER A THOUSAND MILES BETWEEN FAILURES. *TR
