I have not owner this vehicle for very long but while driving the engine will tune off! The engine isnt stalling it straight tunes off at low speeds or high speeds. It will tune off while accelerating almost like its miss firing. Most time the vehicle will recover on it own but ultimately will tune off. This is important becuase it dose this while on the highway, in traffic and it unsafe not to mention scary.

FUEL TANK HAS BEGUN LEAKING DIESEL WITH LESS THAN 120000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW ON THESE DIESEL JEEPS. THE FUEL TANK IS MADE OF FERROUS METAL (STEEL) AND IS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE WITH A STEEL SKID PLATE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE SKID PLATE AND THE FUEL TANK. THIS RESULTS IN THE TRAPPING OF DEBRIS AND MOISTURE AND RESULTING IN RUST DAMAGE TO THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SEVERAL ONLINE CONSUMER FORUMS. FOR EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2008-CRD-FUEL-DIESEL-TANK-LEAKING-2318409/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/07-GRANDE-CHEROKEE-3-0L-DIESEL-FUEL-LEAK-1503992/

NOTICED LEAKING OF DIESEL FROM THE FUEL TANK (WET SPOT IN PARKING). APPEARS THE TANK WAS CORRODED, AND LEAKING ON ONE OF THE SEAMS. ACCORDING TO GARAGE, DIRT COLLECTED BETWEEN THE TANK (METAL) AND THE SKID PLATE (METAL) RESULTED IN THE LEAK. LOOKING AT SOME FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING FREQUENTLY.

Official recalls
4Sep 17, 2014
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2008 Chrysler 300 vehicles manufactured May 31, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Magnum vehicles manufactured May 23, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured May 24, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured April 3, 2007, to May 12, 2008, and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured March 21, 2007, to May 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the ignition key (FOBIK) may not return to the "ON" position after being rotated to the "START" position, instead sticking between the two positions. Potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the "RUN" position to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" ignition position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the ignition stays between "START" and "ON" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "OFF" or "ACCESSORY" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P57.

A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.
