Description of the problem	I "recall" driving one evening on a major highway in my recently purchased 05 grand cherokee when suddenly i lost all power. I was traveling in a congested area at 65 mph with lots of semi's surrounding me. Thank the god's i happen to be on the perfect incline leading to an off ramp at the time of this engine power failure. I'd hate to imagine the out come had i been one lane over a few seconds prior! My son who was only 5 at the time was a bit freaked out from the whole ordeal. But my biggest complaint is the fact that i'm a jeep girl and a faithful one but after my constant battle with this less then desirable hunk of junk i'm thinking of cheating with a ford! After my daily failures with this thing i did some research and found that this vehicle far surpasses the two recalls in my short 3 years of ownership. I'm most upset with my dealership due to the fact they forgot to mention a few hundred drivers of this prior rental truck with an accident that was more than a skip over the curb. They offered but never made good on providing me with owners manual... Guess they were worried i would notice the past safety recalls that were never done. So i have had and continue to have every system malfunction on this heap known to mechanics. I'm sick and tired of paying for things that "jeeps are known for" when in truth its all been a result to the viscous cycle of recalls that were either never done or never the proper fix to begin with. So i beg the heads, money and engineers of chrysler group llc to get your [xxx] together and do the right thing by removing the 2005 jeep grand cherokee 5. 7 liter with a hemi death trap off the roads! Its quite obvious from the first recall only three months after its manufacturer date this truck was meant to fail...!!! So please stop the duct it fix it or[xxx] it!
