Boy, that is one that I have never heard of before! And it really sucks, especially coming out of nowhere. Damn I just hate to hear these kinds of JL stories!

Please let us know what you find out about it, Troy, and how (or if) it gets resolved.

 

Dealer said they’d still been evaluating so I went by myself with the spare key. It had 40 more miles on it, but had no problems and it was like new again. Dealer said they couldn’t find any codes and couldn’t reproduce the problem. They saw it while it was having its “stroke”, but later when in front of a tech it went away. From experience I can read those tea leaves. It may or not reoccur but no one knows. With no problems for the techs, there’s nothing to go on to fix. So I drove to a National chain Toyota dealership and swapped it for a loaded Tacoma. I loved this rig but a mystery problem of that severity I can’t have always hanging over my head.

 

You might find this useful. Finding a good dealer seems to be the solution.

Is there a list somewhere of all the possible messages? Never herd of this one. No help here without code #'s. With an auto trans it shifts by itself so might be hard to not shift the trans. That means you can't shut engine off. With your 38 years in dealership I am sure you have some good contacts. Now you are 10 years retired. With no PS, no shifting, loss of power and everything else I would say it's not drive able. .

 

Had the same error message. In shop and allegedly will be completed Monday. A new module got it running and waiting for a sensor to address Check Engine light.

 

I guess former Jeep Dealers know when to holdem..know when to foldem and in this case know when to run.
The next owner will be back here asking us the same questions.
