Default Help jeep won't start

Ok so I was driving to work today and my check engine light lit up, as I put the jeep in park I heard another ding and my low fuel light lit up( weird cause it's 3/4 full), than the jeep shuts off. So I go to crank it and nothing. It cranks but dosent start... Any ideas or should I take it to the dealer. Thanks in advance

garrantied to have alot of codes stored for the dealer. if you disconnect the battery you'll erace all the codes and if its not a hard code they might have to wait till it hapens again.

Smile update

just got the jeep back...said my fuel pump went bad....good thing warranty coverd it...but an interesting note they told me if i had bad gas that it would not have been covered. Just a headups and be careful what gas stations you use haha.

So do anyone know what reasons the fuel pump would go out? just curious

No reason I can think of other than the new Jeeps seem to be made with severely generic parts. Although, by the time most of us are done there isn't anything Mopar left on the vehicle to worry about.
