My 2006 jeep grand cherokee lardeo has all the same issues as listed by every other jeep owner. The engine randomly shuts off while driving down the road, the dash board and headlights flicker on and off constantly. Sometimes we start sometimes we dont. When pulling out into traffic , maybe it will go, maybe it wont. I have lost my brakes on several occasions as well. Now the jeep sits in my driveway as it wont…

Starting in feb. 2012 the engine would quit running while driving. When the engine would quit we loose steering and braking. The vehicle starts right back up and is drivable. We would experience this problem once every 2-3 months. The frequency in which this is happening has increased with the latest incident occurring 3-18-15 while exiting the interstate and nearly avoiding a crash off the roadway. We received a…

I initially purchased this jeep at 45,000 miles. It now has 98,000 miles. This issue has now happened at least 5 times in this time span. The first few times i thought it may be just a coincidence but now it is starting to scare me that there could be an issue. Because it can not be replicated at the mechanic,s no one can pinpoint what the problem could be. The jeep will just die spontaneously. There is no warning…

Jeep grand cherokee randomly lost engine power, essentially shutting the car down. This happened at least ten times over the span of a few years. Each visit the dealer to get service was worthless as they could not find anything wrong or a fix. *tr

I received a recall notice stating that ignition switch was defective and recalled back in latter part of 2014. I contacted mckinney texas dealership who said they did not have replacement part and was not aware of when they would receive them. I emailed…

Purchased the 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) new from dealership. It stalls unexpectedly. Usually at low speeds. Most of the time while turning. It does it probably once every two or three months, which makes it next to impossible to duplicate at the dealership. In addition, no codes are ever tripped, leaving no proof of an existing problem. We have taken it to the dealership on three separate occasions…
