| Description of the problem | I bought my 2007 jeep grand cherokee overland in june of 2011 with 52095 miles on it. In march of 2012, i experienced the first of many stalls happen to the jeep with 60,980 miles on it. It has random, unpredictable stall outs that happened through out the year. It seems to stall when accelerating however not all the time. It's stalled while driving on the highway (mass pike or rt. 9) and on side roads. I have not observed any precursors to the stalling. When it stalls, it bucks and then the jeep does not accelerate however the lights come on, just like what happens when a manual vehicle is stalled. These types of stall outs i experience do not happen all the time. What happens sometimes is the jeep will buck, like it's going to stall, but it doesn't after slamming on the accelerator. After a stall out, i am able to restart the jeep after a minute or two. The engine light has never come on, just the oil light. This jeep has had the ignition connector and software replaced twice in over a period of two years. It's been replaced because of a stored code: fcmcgw b2185 . There are two other codes stored in the computer: pcm p0884 and abs c12k. I have taken the jeep to dan's jeep in westborough, ma since the first stall out to the present. The recent stall out was friday, january 11th. This stall out was a little different because "programming assess" (something like that) appeared on the dash with a blinking red light. Everytime i bring the jeep to dan's, they give me the same response to the problem... They don't' know why this is happening and i can start replacing parts to see if it corrects the problem. I do not have the finances to just keep replaces parts to see if it'll correct this serious and unsafe problem with the jeep and chrysler has not reported how to fix this or made the step forward to fix it. |
