| Description of the problem | Dt: the consumer owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee which stalled after only being driven 450 miles. The stalling only occurred after cold starts or when the vehicle has not been driven for a long period of time. This occurred at reduced speeds when the consumer applied brake pressure. The engine would simply shut off. The vehicle will immediately restart on the first try. Afterwards, the vehicle will run fine with no other problems. This has happened at least six to eight times. The consumer has taken the vehicle to the dealer three times. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem and offered no explanation as to why this problem occurs. The dealer did perform a diagnostics test which produced no fault codes or failures. The last visit to the dealer did prompt a replacement of the crank shaft sensor, but the dealer did not say why this correction was necessary. Since the replacement of the crank shaft sensor the vehicle has not stalled. However, there was a slight miss in the engine when brake pressure was applied. The consumer planned to contact the jeep manufacturer at this time. *ak *mr |
