Below is the read out for a recall that is on a few other grand cherokee's. My vehicle stalled the other day when my wife was driving and the engine completely shut off and had to be restarted. The problem: the alternator may suddenly fail, causing the vehicle to stall without warning and increasing the risk of a crash. The alternator also may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.

Recently, car started giving me a hard time to start. When it finally turns on it would sputter and turn off after a few seconds. Some lights flicker at times. Battery is fine. The ignition is sparking but doesn't turn the car on. Sometimes car turns on with no problem and i drive it for hours and sometimes it doesn't start at all or starts and turns off right away or after 10 seconds.

This has been dangerous as the vehicle is moving (pulling into traffic from parking spot, city street) when the engine stalls. At that time the only way to restart is to re-cycle the push-to-start…
