Driving approximately 55 mph on interstate, vehicle suddenly lost power and steering control tightened. Gas gauge went to E, mph went to 0. vehicle started immediately after it came to a stop. Took vehicle to dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. Was not satisfied with having my Jeep returned to me without identifying solution. Mechanic's best guess was that he could replace power module - total integrated power module was what mechanic replaced. Well, Jeep stopped five additional times in last 21 days. Four out of five times, vehicle shut down on a slight decline (neighborhood dip or exiting gas station). Vehicle did start immediately after it came to a stop. Dealership still cannot duplicate the problem. Frustrated with not having my primary family vehicle available.

There is a recall (#89275) for improperly manufactured front control modules on certain 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I own one such make and model (bought it used in June 2011), and am being told that I may have to replace my front control module by a service writer at the local Jeep dealer. It would not start this morning at all. Since August there has been intermittent malfunctions in the automatic start, navigation system and power seat settings, and parking assist, too. I am being told separately by the Jeep national recall center that the recall is VIN-specific and does not impact my particular vehicle. Is this a legitimate explanation of fact by Jeep?

Behavior seems similar to recall NHTSA campaign id 08V059000, but this vehicle is not on the recall list.

No start issue - this is defined as turning the key to the start position but would not crank. Fuel pump would turn on after a few seconds. All electrical systems were fine. Battery was full strength. In all of these cases, the car would start up without a problem within 24-48 hours after the no-start incidents. The following information relates to a "no start" issue.

While braking going into a right-hand-corner the lights on the dashboard came on and the engine stalled. The vehicle came to an immediate complete stop on the road. Luckily there was no car following me as otherwise there would have been a dangerous rear-end collision. Could not restart the vehicle. It was taken by truck to the Jeep garage. A fuse connected to more than 30 applications had blown. When replaced the car functioned. Garage spent 2 days searching but could not diagnose the cause of the problem with the fuse. Charged me 300 usd. Two days later the engine stalled again while braking in a right-hand-corner. The vehicle has now been in the garage for 2 days for diagnostic testing and further checks. No resolution to the problem has yet been found. The vehicle is 2 years, 7 months old so the repair is not covered by the manufactures warranty.

I have a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee that just will not start. Not a battery problem. Started with windshield wiper problems where the wipers just stayed erect and only worked on high. This happened two times 10/1/2010 and 12/26/2010. Always started working again before I could see dealer. Always happened when either rain or snow was present causing a danger of collision. On Monday 2/28/2011 it just would not start. Interior light lit, could not shift into neutral or any other gear. Could not get any help or even a call back from dealer, and two corporate managers never returned my call as they promised. When I finally spoke to corperate, both corporate managers were rude and condescending, dealers all going out of business locally in NJ but no will confirm that. Lots are empty. I found service in another county. He fixed it. He claims it was a wire control module and my key fobs also needed to be reprogrammed. These are identical problems to other complaints filed. Similar complaints all over the internet. I know three other people how had a similar experience. One has a 2008 Jeep Liberty.
