| Description of the problem | 2005 jeep grand cherokee has had continuous electrical problems with engine light coming on and stalling since it had about 9000 miles on it and was bought new. Dealership has looked at it several times and could not every find anything wrong with it and usually clears out failure and problems occur shortly after again. After the vehicle stranded me a week ago and once again the service department found nothing wrong-replaced the battery, the vehicle is stalling more than ever and almost had a serious accident that could have been fatal because the power went out driving on the interstate with power steering gone and came close to getting hit by a tractor trailer. Was able to throw into neutral and restart, but this is not a safe condition. The area on interstate was in a construction zone and it seems the problem typically occurs when decelerating below 30 mph. |
