| Description of the problem | Purchased 2007 jeep grand cherokee overland 5. 7 on 11/30/2012. On 12/04/2012 i experienced stalling while decelerating to stop for a stop light, then the vehicle stalled showing code p0884. The vehicle started right back up when i turned the key with no signs of hesitation. Ever since that day, my vehicle stalls on average about 8-10 times per week depending on how often i use the vehicle. It stalls mainly during idle or coming to a stop and the most frightening stall i have experienced was when i was traveling at 60mph on a major highway and the vehicle completely stalled, and instantly restarted itself. Both times i experienced stalling at high speed was when i was doing about 60mph and both times the vehicle restarted itself on its own. But every time the vehicle stalls, i loose all power including power steering which worries me very much. Apparently i am not the only 2007 jeep grand cherokee overland with the 5. 7 motor owner experiencing this problem. I am one of the hundreds on owners involved in a group discussion on jeepforum. Com where we discuss this problem and steps that jeep, private mechanics, and/or owners themselves have taken to correct this stalling problem. This problem has been going on for years and no one seems to have a solution. Loss of power at 60mph is a very big issue and i worry that someone can be very hurt or killed by loss of power steering during stalling. I hope this issue raises concerns for my vehicle and i would be more than willing to allow someone from the nhtsa come and test drive my vehicle to experience what i and hundreds, possibly thousands of others are experiencing. Thank you very much and if you should have any questions in regards to this problem, please do not hesitate to contact me any time. |
