2007 jeep jk wrangler 6 speed 2080 miles on the odometer as I was travelling at approximately 40MPH, I lost all power to the vehicle for a split second. The radio turned off and all of the warning lights on the instrument panel lit up. The engine did not stop running, however, it was unresponsive. A second later, the lights went off, the radio came on and everything was fine. All of this at 40 MPH in 4th gear.
When fueling the gas tank, the auto-shutoff valve at any service station will not shut off in time to prevent fuel splash out of the filler pipe and get on the person doing the fueling and pours down on the ground. This is not isolated to just a few service stations - it happens each and every time you fill this vehicle with gas.
