This is a commonly known defect with these Jeep which has never been adequately addressed by the NHTSA. Someone is going to get killed if the manufacturer is not held responsible. Infamous stalling problem. Whether going 10 mph or 70 mph, vehicle will stall with no warning. Generally will re-start after turning off ignition, but not always immediately. On my Jeep, I have replaced the computer module, crankshaft position sensor, fuel pump, fuel filters, maf sensor, distributor cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires. I have had the computer module wiring harness reworked. Still stalls, and I have been forced to park the Jeep for safety reasons.

Every time I fill up my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo at a gas station I need to pump it in slowly and manually. The nozzle, if set on high or low immediately clicks off. If it does not shut off, it spews fuel out of the filler. This has been an ongoing problem for the past 2 years. This happens regardless of how much fuel is in the tank before I start the filling process. Pumping the fuel myself is getting old. I live in NJ where the customer is technically not allowed to do this as our stations are full service and this must be done by an attendant. Fortunately, I go to the same station and they are used to me doing it myself. Otherwise the attendant has to babysit the nozzle and pump it in slower than the slow setting. I have tried other brand gas stations and still have the overflow problem.

My vehicle stalls when it is hot outside. I have had the coil replaced then I had the catalytic converter replaced and O2 sensor and it still stalled on start up. I took it to the dealership and it stalled and they told me it was my fuel pump. I spent 965 on a fuel pump I didn't need because it is still stalling and they have no clue why. I seen this problem on mean forums. I think the dealer should be aware of this problem and should know how to fix them not make someone spend a thousand dollars on a might.
