“While pulling out of parking lot vehicle started to stall , had to pump gas pedal. This caused the vehicle to lurch forward with a sputtering effect. Thought it might stall out. This has happened a few times, also when I turn vehicle off it will not start and there is no electrical operation at all. I've found I must remove key from ignition before it will restart. This instances happen at random”

There has been several problems with engine surging when I put it in reverse and at a stop light.”

“I was moving very slowly in the second from right lane on route 287 in new jersey. In my attempt to change into the far right lane to be in my exit lane I accelerated heavily. The engine surged and made noise appropriate for the situation but did not actually engage in moving the vehicle for approximately 1-3 seconds. This could have caused a serious accident. Jeep dealership has been advised. Thank you.”
