Since that time, the vehicle has stalled at highway speeds or when slowing down for a stop on dozens if not hundreds of occasions. The spark plugs, egr…

For a couple years my jeep grand cherokee has experienced several episodes of ignition shut off. I spoke with my local dealer and they said it was not an issue with jeep, only some dodge models. I paid to have a 2nd computerized key made at the dealership, as dodge was saying their issue was related to the driver having other keys on ignition key ring. This way i had a single ignition key. Still experienced the…

Vehicle just randomly stalls, shuts off as if the key was turned off and on quickly. Sometimes this happens when driving at highway speeds or when going slow around a turn or making any turns, this is very dangerous because of the loss of power steering and its very difficult to steer when it stalls. This will also happen when idling in park or when sitting at stoplights. *tr

Vehicle stall out at various speeds, or when idling stationary. Comes on without warning. Seems these stalling problems are common with 5.7 hemi jeep grand cherokees, even according to the dealer. This is a serious safety hazard as power steering and brakes are lost during a stall. An inoperative vehicle in a traffic lane could suffer a rear-end collision from this condition. Please help by ordering a recall from…

I have two problems with the vehicle that make it unsafe to drive. The first is that the engine randomly stalls. Most of the time it stalls when the vehicle is stopped. Sometimes it stalls at very slow speeds. When stopped, sometimes i hear a "thunk" right before it stalls like it was trying to go into gear. It has done this running in park and when the brake is pressed while in drive. It has stalled on me in busy…

The trans struggles to shift through every gear and wont shift past 3rd gear, sometimes even stalling me in traffic. Feels like it doesn't catch the next gear when accelerating. There have been times when i've been stopped at a light at an intersection and when i go to accelerate, the engine will just rev as if it's in neutral, but it's not. Therefore, the acceleration is very weak. When switching from park to…
