2019 JL Suddenly Shuts Off

[Rhinebeck01]

Great advice, I'm happy. I think the key was "be polite and don't have a meltdown on the phone". Glad I came back to this forum when I had the problem...

@DCELL

So, did they cover it or what... I would like to think they covered all or met you 1/2 way on the cost... WELL?

Good to hear.... good for you and your JL !

I always spew, if you don't ask you don't get... your happy ending is a testament to that spew.. 8-)

Since your " Life Time " warranty from another dealer is a FCA warranty, what does it actually cover ?
These electrical issues are a known problem, hopefully you'll get this repaired under the Customer Good Will aspect, I'm saving that contact number ! But do check out that " Life Time " warranty you have

No warranty will ever cover batteries, brakes, fluids, etc. Most will not cover suspension wear parts such as shocks/struts.

Same thing happened to me in my 2019 JLUR. Auxiliary battery failure and blown fuse array. Dealer fixed it. BTW there’s a small plastic cover in front of the shift level. Lift it up and there’s a yellow strap. Pull the strap up and toward you and it takes it out of park.

Why not just shift it to nutural with a short stick (2L/4H -N - 4L)

The transfer case wouldn't shift either...

Pulling out of a parking lot, engine suddenly shut down. All doors were shut properly, seatbelt on. I put in 'park' tried to restart, no luck. After a couple minutes, dash started going crazy, wipers came on. Acted possessed! Could not shift transfer case or transmission. Had to be towed, using those plastic skidders on back wheels to get it on flatbed. 8 speed auto, Sahara, bla bla. Haven't heard from dealer yet. I searched the forums, no specific similar incidents-though some threads involving ESS and Autopark mentioned the sudden shutdown. Any ideas?

Same thing happened to me Thursday. Had Jeep towed yesterday and waiting on “busy” dealership to get to it next week they say. 2018 JLU with only 32,000 miles.

Two weeks at dealership. They replaced the TIPM....totally integrated power module, and then a shift switch or something like that as it would not shift out of park.

Picked it up yesterday, drove 50 miles home, took the hard top off this morning, drove 15 miles to “town” and it left me there. Same exact thing it did before it was “fixed”. The main battery seems fully charged and nothing is going haywire in terms of electrical things doing what they want in their own. Brake pedal hard, won’t start...won’t turn over, won’t shift out of park even when ignition is on.
