I have had my jeep for about 4 weeks and it has been in the shop 3 times now!!!...it has trouble starting on occasion and sometimes it just dies!!!....Has anyone else had this problem and if so whats the deal!?!

Sounds like a computer problem?
And pretty close to a lemon law case now?

 

stall bug TSB maybe?

 

Sometimes it cranks for a few extra seconds before it starts.. usually it just fires up but on occasion (usually when its hot), it turns over for 2 to 3 seconds before starting

 

im not sure what a TSB bug is...lol...but the long turn over sounds similar to my prob only it seems mine is one step further than yours...thanks for your imput...no one has heard of any solutions??

there was a technical service bulletin, TSB, to update the computer, as some JK owners were experiencing the stall bug. he was suggesting that you check to see if your JK falls under the TSB to correct the problem. a computer update/ flash may be all that it needs to get things back to normal. have they mentioned anything about the TSB when you've taken it in? what work have they done to correct it?

 

Exactly the problem I have. About every 5th or 6th start, it takes 2 to 3 seconds to turn over. Not a major problem, but will take it in if other problems arise.

 

I hope it a simple fix and they repair it soon...its been in the shop almost 50% of the time...but i do get to drive an amazing minivan loaner...lol...that makes it all better...lol

Mine will also just turn over and not start every once in a while. When it happens it will always start on the second attempt. I havnt looked into it at all yet but I will before the warranty is up.
