Grand Cherokee

  • 132,500 miles
The vehicle typically stalls while driving at highway speeds but has stalled on city streets. When the vehicle stalls I am able to turn the ignition back on and drive. I have had the P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 recall and this did not resolve the issues. It is stalling even more often now. I have had this issue for the last 3 years I have owned the vehicle. I have taken it in for repair to 3 different repair shops not including the recall and it is still not fixed. This is a major safety concern. The vehicle stalled one particular time and I was almost hit by a bus on the highway. When the vehicle stalls you lose power steering and I was lucky enough to make it out of the way. The current mileage is approximately 132,500.

Vehicle has been to dealership four times for the same problem. After driving longer than 10-15 minutes turning the Jeep off and trying to restart within 5-10 minutes it won't start. Let it sit for minimum of 20 minutes will start. The relays get very warm but after cooling, the car starts. Dealership has zinged us for a new starter, it didn't need, a new PCM, it didn't need. Testing my own theory 3 consecutive times in one day, drove the vehicle at least 30 minutes. Turned off and attempted to restart (as you would a quick trip to the store) and nothing but waiting each time, car starts after cooling. Picked up the Jeep two days ago from dealership who had it 18 days trying to fix it (3rd time)and the first trip that day resulted in another occurrence of the same problem.

On several occasions, while coming to a stop the engine shut itself off for no reason. It then repeatedly tried to restart itself, even with the key in the "off" position. When this happens power steering is lost causing hard steering. The dealer performed the ignition switch recall claiming that would resolve the problem. This problem continued after the recall repair was performed.
