Our 2005 jeep grand cherokee has started cutting out or stalling. Engine just stops. My son was almost in a major collision when he couldn't get the car out of the intersection. Thank god there was no accident. Maybe if more people complained - i hate to see lives lost- what will it take for a recall- jeep repair states resetting the drive train should help.. Does it???? *tr

My 2005 jeep grand cherokee, purchased may 12, has encountered numerous problems with power. The car shuts off while driving in any condition, and has done so at least 10 times. My concern is that somebody behind me will plow into me when my car shuts off on a highway, which almost happened last week. The dealership does not know how to correct this problem, and i would like to formally file a complaint. *jb
