Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 problems and owner complaints

I WAS GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL ON A REMOTE TRAIL WITH A HALF A TANK OF GAS. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY AND THE ENGINE DIED, I LOST MY BRAKES JUST WHEN I NEEDED THEM THE MOST. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AND WE PLUNGED DOWN THE VERY VERY STEEP HILL WITH NO WAY TO STOP OR TO STEER. FOR SOME REASON IN A STEEP DOWN HILL THE ENGINE DID NOTNOT GET FUEL. LOSING BRAKES AND STEERING POWER JUST WHEN IT IS NEEDED THE MOST IS AN ACCIDENT AND A LAW SUITE WAITING TO HAPPEN. *AK

TWO MAIN PROBLEMS - THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACE ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER DUE TO OVER FLOW PROBLEMS, AFTER READING A FEW DISCUSSION BOARDS I NOTICED THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE AUTO SHUT OFF WOULD SIGNIFY THAT THE TANK WAS FULL, UPON PULLING THE NOZZLE ABOUT A PINT OF GAS WOULD BLOW BACK AT YOU. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP DID REPLACE THE TANK, BUT I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR DANGER AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. MY SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT THE JEEP WILL STALL FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SY…

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE COMING TO A STOP. AS IT IDLED TO ~600 RPMS THE ENGINE DIED. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, AND THE VEHICAL STALLED AGAIN AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION.

TSB 18-036-06 (COMPUTER REFLASH) WAS PERFORMED AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HOWEVER IT DID NOT PREVENT ADDITIONAL FAILURES. SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED AT 65 MPH AND RESULTED IN A NEAR ACCIDENT WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY DEALER FOLLOWING MOST RECENT FAILURE AND NO CAUSE COULD BE FOUND. *NM
