| Description of the problem | I recently bought my 2006 grand cherokee limited and a few times in the past week i have been driving through a parking lot or pulling into a driveway and the jeep completely dies. I have had my jeep inspected i recently bought my 2006 grand cherokee limited and a few times in the past week i have been driving through a parking lot or pulling into a driveway and the jeep completely dies, no steering or brakes. When you put it into neutral it will restart as if nothing ever happened. I have had my jeep inspected and there are no codes or anything to find specifically. The other issue i am having is that when i am driving at highway speeds the dash lights, air, and radio go out and flicker. You can't see your speed and the gauges go bizerk. I did some research and found many testimonials which i have attached to this complaint of people having the same issue. One women was even going through an intersection making a left hand turn and hers died and she lost steering and ended up going into oncoming traffic. This is not ok people! We need to hold chrysler/dodge accountable for the building of the car. Insurance companies need to know about this. And most.... A class action lawsuit needs to be filed if there already hasn't been. You don't just make vehicles and when it has problems to this extent continue allowing people with families to drive your vehicles with no pinpoint issue available to fix. Families are spending thousands of dollars replacing what "could" be wrong and still not fixing the issue or getting any help from the people who built the issue. Everywhere i look and everyone i contact say these issues could be a number of things but yet chrysler has failed to have a system that spits out codes directly pointing out the issue in turn creating a greater safety issue on the roads. Who knows, maybe the next jeep that dies will take out someone you love. |
