problem #1

Dec 082011

Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl

  • 51,300 miles
Driving approximately 55 mph on interstate, vehicle suddenly lost power and steering control tightened. Gas gauge went to E, mph went to 0. vehicle started immediately after it came to a stop. Took vehicle to dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. Was not satisfied with having my Jeep returned to me without identifying solution. Mechanic's best guess was that he could replace power module - total integrated power module was what mechanic replaced. Well, Jeep stopped five additional times in last 21 days. Four out of five times, vehicle shut down on a slight decline (neighborhood dip or exiting gas station). Vehicle did start immediately after it came to a stop. Dealership still cannot duplicate the problem. Frustrated with not having my primary family vehicle available.
