1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 39000 miles fuel pump failure resulting in engine failure in the middle of a busy intersection. This vehicle is only 3 years old with low mileage, it should not require a new fuel pump costing owner $500 in towing, parts and labor. Dealer where vehicle was purchased was of no help!

Driving up a very steep hill at night. Car starts to buck wildly, loose power, RPM goes constantly from 300 to 2000. Seems fuel starved. Over hill, engine seems to run fine. Then on highway at 70 mph, engine shuts itself off, twice within half hour. Dealer says computer chip and replaces, but not fixed. Then says fuel pump. Replaces. Now six weeks later, same thing happening to car. Not fuel gauge problem, as tank 3/4 full.
