Hi folks,
Having some trouble with my 2013 Jeep Wrangler.
It recently started bucking on me at high speeds and when driving uphill, sometimes when the engine changes gears. If I accelerate when the bucking happens, the engine cuts out and the steering column locks up, then it takes 5-10 minutes of rest before the engine is able to turn over again.
The first time it happened I found there were critters building a nest on top of the battery and had it cleared out.
I had the transmission serviced and it’s not a transmission issue.
I took it to the dealer for further investigation and was told the PCM was shorting out. Had it replaced and lo and behold, the issue started happening again today after a couple weeks of smooth sailing.
I’m flipping the jeep soon for a new Subaru and I just need to keep the car on the road for another month or so until the new car comes in, and I feel daft paying even more than I have already for these ineffective bandaid repairs.
If anyone knows what else this issue could possibly be, I’d appreciate some insight and recommendations.
Cheers!
