Engine Shutting Down
Engine Shutting Down
For the last 2 days in a row, this has happened to me. Cruising on my way home doing around 50-55, the engine lost power and just turned off. Lucky on both occasions, I was able to pull over on the side of the Freeway.
On the first incidence, I have 2 bars left on my gas gauge so I thought it was a mis-calibrated fuel gauge and I just ran out of gas. After I pulled over on the side of the freeway, I tried restarting the engine but it won't start. I called AAA and they put in a gallon of gas and it started fine. After a mile or so, all the warning lights came on (traction control, oil, engine, etc) but the engine was running fine. I went in to a gas station and filled the tank. Starting the engine, the warning lights were all lighted. When I got home, I disconnected and reconnected the battery and all warning lights went away.
The next day, on the same location as the previous night, I lost engine power again and the engine shut down. I pulled over and waited a few minutes. I restarted the engine and it was fine again.
I called the Dealership and my friendly Service Advisor is off today so I will bring her in tomorrow. My GK is only 2 months old with 1,400 miles on it. Wondering if any other GK owner had the same experience. I never had this problem on both my GDs (USDM and PHDM).
