This jeep will run fine, but when it comes to red lights and idle, the car will shut off and not turn on again for atleast 10 minutes. Spent about 3,000 usd to fix at multiple mechanic and the issue remains. Why has jeep never taken the time to recall this issue as it can cause the lives of many drivers.

My jeep grand cherokee lost power while driving. I was able to pull over with difficulty. I then put in park and was able to get engine started and drove back home.

If i had been going any faster i might not have been…

When stopped, with the transmission in drive, the car would jump forward without ever touching the accelerator. The only way to prevent the car from lurching forward was to increase pressure on the brake pedal, but the lurch was still felt. I have heard this termed a "bump stop" by others that have had it happen to them.*ak
