Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 1,600 miles
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 65th anniversary edition: 15 days off the lot when while driving 15-20 mph engine completely died. I could not steer to the side of the road. There were no warning lights or any indication of a problem. Dealership diagnosed "major internal engine failure" and replaced with new engine. About 4 months later rattling sound turned out to be catalytic converter that needs to be replaced. Still waiting for the part. SUV still does not drive 100%. sometimes when I step on the gas the truck does not respond right away.
