problem #2

Mar 122007

Grand Cherokee 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,200 miles
I read about the recall on the 2007 Wrangler and nitros. It sounded like the same problem. I had loss of engine power several times, similar to running out of gasoline. Most times it would not stall, but if at slow speeds or at a stop the engine would completely quit. One turn of the key would start it up again. Now that I saw similar symptoms being recalled for another Jeep I wanted to file a formal notice of the problem before I or another person ended up stalling at a traffic light and getting hurt. Please note that the incident date below is when I first had a full stall.
