| Description of the problem | Vehicle loses power at interstate speed. Incidents: 5-30-2007. Wife was driving vehicle on interstate. Vehicle just turned off after loosing power. Wife pulled to shoulder of road and put into park. Restarted engine. No 'check engine light". Took vehicle to dealership for system scan. Sonya rechtorovic at landmark dodge (770-968-4900)checked vehicle into repair. Received paperwork which says "customer states while driving on interstate, vehicle shuts off. No codes in system. All systems operating as designed. Test drove vehicle and could not duplicate concern." incidents have happened again on 7-1-2009, 7-4-2009 and on 7-6-2009. Lost power at interstate speed while driving. Engine light did come on, and i pulled to shoulder of road and waited a few minutes. Took vehicle to two different dealerships. "joe brooks" at douglas county dodge at 770-942-1102 and vic daniel at landmark dodge at 770-968-4900 or 678-251-2327. Both dealerships stated "out of warranty and would be $100 just to scan the system for errors". I took vehicle to autozone and had vehicle scanned for free. Received error code "u0404 code- invalid data received from gear shift control module". Seen recall d46 for 2005 jeep grand cherokee to reprogram pcm. I believe my 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo has this issue. Called chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 at 1045 am on 7-6-2009 and spoke with "dan thomas". Dan looked up my vin number and stated that "no recalls are for this vehicle and if a recall does come out, then a letter will be mailed to you". |
