What owners wrote
I have a 2016 jeep wrangler unlimited with 20,000 miles., today I was going up a hill stopped at a mailbox then started to take off and the motor stalled while in drive. It cased me to roll back about 3' befor I could hit the brake almost caused a accident. I then restarted the jeep placed it back in drive and it wouldn't move! It acted like it was in neutral. I also tried reverse still wouldn't do nothing.
When starting my 2016 jeep wrangler unlimited up, first start in the day, or morning.start vehicle up, let warm up for at least 1 minute, put foot on brake put gear shifter in reverse, to back out of driveway, go to release brake, and vehicle stalls out.this has happened several times, about once or twice a week,took to dealer and they said can't find no codes..I've been on a jeep forum for a few weeks,and everyone on the site says dealership has found the problem and fixed, what would be the torque converter…
