2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. IN LESS THAN 1000 MILES WITHIN PURCHASE THE 4W DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS PARKED ON A CURB AT A RETIREMENT HOME AND A AMBULANCE WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. WHILE I WAS INSIDE PEOPLE RAN IN AND SAID MY JEEP WAS ROLLING AWAY AND IT HIT THE AMBULANCE IN FRONT OF ME. THE JEEP WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF WHEN IT ROLLED AWAY. WITNESSES AND THE POLICE REPORT CONFIRM THIS. AFTER GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR 6 MONTHS I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (APPROXIMATELY 75MPH) THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND TWICE IN 1-HR IT COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. THE MOTOR LOST ALL POWER. IT REQUIRES A COMPLETE RESTART OF THE VEHICLE. THE KEY MUST BE TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTARTED. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. IT SEAMS TO HAPPEN UNDER A LOAD OR WHILE ACCELERATING OR PULLING A HILL. IT HAS HAPPENED IN HIGH TRAFFIC CIRCUMSTANCES AND HAS AT TIMES BEEN DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO JEEP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY APPARENTLY HAVE A STAR CASE NUMBER S1218000003 IN WHICH THEY SAY TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO PUT CONSUMERS IN.
