The contact owns a 1998 Jeep Cherokee. While driving approximately 30 mph on normal road conditions; the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts and was towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic recommended that the vehicle be towed to an authorized dealer. An authorized technician stated that the failure was contributed to the coil wire and the PCM module which were previously replaced. The vehicle was also towed to an authorized dealer for the identical failure on a separate occasion. The vehicle is being diagnosed for the failure. The contact had concerns of the safety risk involved. The failure and current mileages were 94,000.
My 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 liter 6 cylinder engine experiences sudden oil pressure drops. This happens when the car warms up. I've had the vehicle checked and the oil pressure sender unit replaced as a precaution. My mechanics are unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle. Looking to the internet for help, I've found hundreds of people with the same problem. Loss of oil pressure at high speeds could result in engine failure causing a fire or accident.
