My wife called me yesterday to tell me she was broke down on the side of the road... Thankfully not in the interstate. When I asked what exactly happened here is what she told me.
The engine began to sputter, the check engine light came on, "Electronic Throttle Control" message appeared, then the engine shut down completely. She also told me it sounded like metal grinding noise as it happened.
So I arrived and tried to restart and nothing it just turns over(tries to start) for about 10 seconds and then stops. Ultimately had it towed to a diesel shop.
Got back home and googled a bunch and found other owners (1500 diesel and JGC diesel) having the EXACT same symptoms. Sounds like a fuel pump issue and the grinding noise tells me there is probably metal in the fuel system now so injectors, HPFuel pump, and all fuel lines need to be replaced. Possibly looking at 8000+ for parts and labor?????? INSANITY.
I have a case open with Jeep. But what else should I do?
Thanks,
Mike
