2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee

VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED ON HWY AT 70 MPH (THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS). I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE HWY. IT STARTED UP AFTER COMING TO A STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM (HAD WORKED ON PREVIOUS GRAND CHEROKEES AND EVEN HAD THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS OUT TO TRY AND HELP THEM). THEY DID INSPECTIONS ON MY VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIND ANYTHING OUT FROM THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. I WAS EVENTUALLY GIVEN TO A CASE MANAGER. THEY INITIALLY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AND NOW THEY KEEP DELAYING GETTING BACK TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS WITH NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT SOME FIXES. I ALSO HAVE A 7 YR/100,000 MILE PLATINUM WRAPAROUND WARRANTY THAT SHOULD COVER WHATEVER IS WRONG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,750.

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE DEALER REPLACED AN IGNITION COMPONENT. AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED ON THREE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE TURNED OFF FOR NOW APPARENT REASON. JEEP COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY AND AT THAT POINT I PURCHASED A NEW CAR. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES WHICH TURNED OFF FOR NO REASON AND HAD CAUSED INJURY OR DEATH. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED BY JEEP TO REMOVE ANY EXTRA KEYS FROM THE RING BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. PERHAPS THERE ARE OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BUT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE POTENTIAL RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE ENGINE RPMS DECREASED ABNORMALLY.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP IT DIES, WE COULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55/60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE JEEP WILL DIE, WE COULD BE DRIVING LOCALLY AT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE JEEP JUST DIES -- WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER MANY TIMES REGARDING THE PROBLEM BUT NOTHING IS DONE -- THEY KEEP ASKING US TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP -- WHEN THE JEEP DIES THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG -- NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, JUST THE RPM DROPS -- WE ARE WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY THAT WHILE DRIVING ON AN HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP DIES THAT SOMEONE HITS US FROM BEHIND AND CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR WORSE -- WE HAVE TOLD CHRYSLER WE WOULD PAY FOR ANY WORK THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS LONG AS THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM -- AFTER THAT STATEMENT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ANY FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE. *TR

JEEP STALLS WHEN TRAVELING. MOSTLY HAS OCCURRED WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT BUT DID STALL ONCE AT SPEED ON THE WEST SIDE HIGHWAY IN NEW YORK CITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ANY HELP. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING A LOT OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AS IT IS WELL WRITTEN ON THE INTERNET FORUMS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ON JEEP STALL OR HEMI STALL REVEALS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR
