1997 Jeep Laredo

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM NORMALLY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

STALLING OUT ISSUE. WENT FROM INTERMITTENT TO FREQUENT. STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE COMING TO A STOP OR LEAVING A STOP. HAVE REPLACED 3 PCM'S, 1/2 WIRING HARNESS, TOO MANY SENSORS TO COUNT, FUEL PUMP, ETC. HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS & THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. NO CODES EITHER. TEMPERATURE & SPEED DO NOT MATTER IT JUST CONSTANTLY STALLS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT. THERE IS NO LIGHTS, SOUNDS, NOTHING WHEN IT STALLS. IT JUST CUTS OUT. NO STEERING EITHER! ALSO THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHICH I HAVE REPLACED ONCE AND NEED TO AGAIN, AND THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE HAS ISSUES, AND THE DIFFERENTIAL I HAVE REPLACED TOO. MY MECHANIC HAS SPENT 6 YEARS TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HE EVEN HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER TO NO AVAIL. CHRYSLER WILL NOT EVEN ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HE EVEN SENT MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER GARAGE FOR EVALUATION. IT STALLED ON THEM TOO HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE EITHER. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP AND INVESTIGATE. THEY'RE TOO MANY OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM. *KB

I HAVE A 1997 JEEP LAREDO THAT I PURCHASED OVER 2 YEARS AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. THE STALLING PROBLEM STARTED AROUND JANUARY 2008. AT FIRST IT JUST STALLS WHEN ON IDLE OR WHEN TURNING. NOW IT IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY/HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JUST DIED. WE HAVE CHANGED THE CRACK SENSOR, THE OIL, COIL, CAP AND ROTOR, TRANSMISSION FLUID. OXYGEN SENSOR WAS CHANGED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC 2X AND HE CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. NO WARNING CODE SHOWS ON THE DASH. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND DISCOVERED I'M NOT ALONE. IT IS NOW APRIL 2008 AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BRING IT TO THE MECHANIC TO TRY AND FIND THE PROBLEM. WHAT CAN WE JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM DO ABOUT THIS? THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO GET CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL BUT IT DOESN'T COVER 1997 JEEPS. I SAW THE RECALL ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE. *TR
