Default Stalling out...UPDATE!

Just got back from dealer.
Problem 1: The shuddering/rumble strips feeling was due to a faulty tire reading a 28 (*below 10 is acceptable). They re-balanced, mounted, and rotated all tires.
Problem 2: Per the TSB, torque converter is on order without having to beg and plead the dealership.
Problem 3: They have ordered me a new ignition switch...normally a $100 part, DC is puting $18.95 ignition switches in the JK's. The dealership ordered a new one and will install it with the torque converter.

This all was due to a stalling out bug that has hit many of us and led me to take it in in the first place. If it has happened to you, find a 5star dealer and have them try a new ignition switch. Most dealerships should be accomodating if it has happened to you...it happened to me twice!
Good luck!

hmmmmm...sounds like what we all are experiencing IS an ignition failure or open circuit since all lights come on and my radar detector ,which is on the switched lighter , went off and came back on. This indicates to me that it has to be a fairly heavy current carrying circuit that opens causing the stall. Ignition switch maybe the TICKET !!!!!


Keep us informed !!!!
