 Description of the problemAfter filling my tank with gas i turned onto a nearby roadway and felt my car sputtering and jerking. As i came to a slow stop at a stop light my car abruptly slammed to a stop and made a loud bang/slamming noise and prompted me to shift to park and restart the car. I followed these commands and the car would not move. As soon as i would shift out of park the loud slamming would occur again and i began to smell fumes so i stopped trying to follow the prompts. I put my car in neutral and pushed my car out of the moving traffic lanes and got it towed. The dealership claimed nothing is wrong with my vehicle and gave it back. I have experienced the same issue 3 times since. They replaced an evaporation pressure switch the second time i took my car in and this still has not fixed the issue. The last time the issue occurred i was slowing down on a highway in dense traffic and as traffic started moving again my gas pedal stopped working. I could not accelerate when i pressed the gas i only heard loud revving noises as my car coasted.. When i went to press the brakes and pull off the road i immediately heard the loud slamming noise and my car broke down again in a very unsafe location on the highway. I waited one hour and my car was able to restart and i slowly got it off the highway with my e-lights on. I will be taking it to the shop after the new year.. Again. Worst of all after looking into this issue online i see it is common among jeep vehicles. Not just the cherokee. Happens after i gas up. It is extremely unsafe as i have almost been rear ended at high speeds by other cars on the roadway. Has been listed in forums as somesort of rollover fuel valve. Please investigate before more serious injuries or even death occurs assuming that hasn't already happened. Also please note that since the work they did on 2nd visit to dealer i have had check gas cap and engine lights on

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
