Description of the problem	The stalling problem was originally reported to the dealers technicians at 9,007 miles. It occurred intermittently while coasting or braking. They could not reproduce the problem, indicating "[no codes] stored; could not duplicate condition" on the repair form, and sent it home with me. Knowing there was nothing they would do until a stall could be deliberately demonstrated, i continued to drive it until september, when the stalling became more frequent than the normal every-2-month average and nearly caused an accident due to the unexpected loss of power steering and brakes. I again asked them to track down the problem and repair it. They finally decided to attach their co-pilot computer which monitors the jeep's systems and have me drive it for a while. If it stalled, i was to press a button to capture the previous and future 30 seconds of vehicle activity. On two occasions while the co-pilot was attached, a stall occurred. I pressed the co-pilot trigger to capture the data both times. When they got the jeep back, they said there was something indicating the engine stopped running on two occasions. Chrysler recommended they replace the egr valve and the purge solenoid, which they did. This morning it stalled again. I updated chrysler and the dealer about the incident. The service manager told me that chrysler's engineers have instructed them to perform no service - no replacements and no troubleshooting - on my jeep until a mechanic can demonstrate another engine stall. Please note the following thread on jeepforum. Com. I submitted this thread's information to the dealer tech's, but i cannot tell how much good it did. My jeep still stalls and chrysler still has no fix for it. This thread calls out commanders and grand cherokees, from 2005 through 2008. This is an extremely serious and wide spread problem, and it has "recall" written all over it. This problem needs attention and it needs it now. Http://jeepforum. Com/forum/showthread. Php? T=253493.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
