| Description of the problem | On 12/5/2012 my 2007 jeep grand cherokee limited with only 33,466 miles stalled on the highway at about 60mph. I almost got into an accident because of the loss of power steering and brakes. I thought this was an isolated incident however since then the stalling problem has been increasingly getting worse to the point where i recently had to take my jeep to the dealership for repair. The dealership was courteous, but unfortunately told me that the hemi engines have this known problem for stalling and they had to change out $1500. 00 worth of parts to hopefully fix the problem. Sadly my extended coverage did not cover the cost due to the lack of chrysler/jeep not being able to give them an actual broken part number. It seems chrysler/jeep is just playing guessing games to fix the problem! While researching the web i came across a web site called "www. Jeepforum. Com" and found out that there are hundreds if not thousands of people who are suffering this same problem and it is very clear to me that this problem should be recalled by chrysler/jeep. Sadly i know this will fall on deaf ears at the nhtsa as others have also stated on the jeep forum web site, but i'm hoping by taking the time to write this post that it will inform anybody who is considering to buy a jeep vehicle to think twice as chrysler/jeep are producing pure junk vehicles that you could end up compromising your life and others around you! Remember hundreds if not thousands of people can't be wrong!! |
