| Description of the problem | 2005 jeep grand cherokee - 07/26/2005 - vehicle did not start, dealer replaced battery. 06/10/2006 - stalled while at light, dealer attempted repair by tightening connection in junction box. 06/28/2006 - vehicle stalled while driving, dealer could not duplicate no repairs attempted. 07/07/2006 - vehicle stalled while on interstate, dealer replaced forward control module. 07/26/2006 - vehicle would not start - dealer could not duplicate no repairs attempted. 09/01/2006 - vehicle stalled while driving - dealer duplicated problem - dealer replaced battery. 09/15/2006 - vehicle stalled while driving, has been in dealer possession now for 7 days - cannot duplicate - no repairs attempted. Vehicle has been out of service for same problem for a total of 39 days and counting. Situation is a danger as the vehicle will just die while moving and driver cannot get it off road. Vehicle only has 20,000 miles and has had problem since 155 miles. Daimler chrysler's response is unacceptable - vehicle is a safety hazard and an accident waiting to happen. When is enough - enough? Loss of life? Maybe then someone will realize there is a problem with several of these 05 jeep grand cherokees with same problem! Contact me karenhorrocks@bellsouth. Net. *nm |
