| Description of the problem | Grand cherokee shut off by itself (lost power steering and brakes). Car started right back up. This happened on a major highway around a sharp curve and could have resulted in a car accident with injuries or even death. Brought the car to a dealer and they said they could not replicate the problem and sometimes the internal computer needs to be rebooted. I bought the car because of all the safety features. I will probably trade this car in. It's not worth my well-being. *nm |
