ADVANCE AUTO TOLD ME POSSIBLE FUEL ISSUE, I ADDED LUCAS FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. NOW LOOKING AT RECALLS ONLINE AND READING ABOUT CAMSHAFT OR CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. MILES ON JEEP 41688.

I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE A WEEK YET. THE ENGINE HAS DIED ON ME TWICE. ONCE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH GOING TO WORK ON A DARK TWO LANE ROAD. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SOUNDS - JUST ALL OF THE SUDDEN I WAS NOT MOVING AND I WAS LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IDLING. THE ENGINE DIED. AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. ON 3 INSTANCES THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT CRANK. IT STARTS AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THE VEHICLE IS A PREVIOUSLY OWNED WITH JUST UNDER 11,000 MILES ON IT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT NOW. IF IT DIES WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE THEN I COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
