The jeep engine shuts off unexpectedly. This occurs after approximately 25 minutes of driving. It can happen during high speeds on the highway 60 + mph or during idle when stopped in traffic. This is extremely dangerous as i had to avoid several accidents. The jeep might start immediately after a short wait, or can take a day and start with the same problem. The gauges go off, with the fuel showing empty, then the…

Excessive engine knocking with power loss and abnormal driving capabilites. Sounds like bad internals. Suspension causes "death wobble" at cruising speeds. Engine happens anytime engine is running producing large quantities of smoke from tailpipe.

I have owned 8 jeeps and now have a beautiful dealershipl maintained grand cherokee limited 4.7l in my driveway with a bad engine. At 100k a rod bearing went bad and after that was fixed by me with great expense it now sits in the driveway with low compression and will not start. I have searched and found hundreds of ads with blown engines just in my area of southern california. There seems to be some common design…

Vehicle randomly stalls and dies at low to moderate speeds. Engine will shudder briefly and shutoff. Stalling will occur when stopped or speeds ranging from 1 to 40 mph. When vehicle stalls, electrical system will reset and power steering fails. Restart is sometimes achievable immediately, but more often takes a minimum of 30 seconds and up to several minutes. Issue seems unaffected by outside temperature or other…

I purchased this jeep and not even a month after having it cut off with driving down the road. It will say i have no gas and the tank will be full. At times it would start other times it had to be towed (3 times in fact). This has happened 5 or 6 times at all different speeds. I took it to a dealership 450.00 later still had the problem. This is very scary for the jeep to shut off while driving. I have two small…

Four times in the last year, the vehicle when traveling over 50mph, develops what online research describes as "death wobble". The steering wheel vibrates suddenly in your hands, the front end wobbles and it is difficult to control. Slowing down below 50mph usually resolves the issue...but that is an unacceptable solution. Seems to happen when the vehicle is warmed up and has traveled 20+ miles. A major national tv…

Intermittent stalling problem when moving, very dangerous, about rear ended numerous times. Dealer can not fix, just throw money at it in parts hoping to fix the problem. This needs to be addressed by jeep before someone is killed!!!!!!!! *tr
