| Description of the problem | The truck is a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. Once again as i was driving my vehicle shut down (jerked real hard) and i lost all driving capability etc power steering, speed control. . . . . I was driving on the freeway when my jeep shut down it was during morning rush hour traffic. It was hard for me to glide over to the shoulder when everyone around you is going 60 mph and you have no power steering. When i was able to get to the shoulder i placed the jeep in park and turned the vehicle off and removed the key and put the key back in and it started right up. This has been happening everyday now and why searching the internet i've ran across on here and elsewhere that i am not the only one having problems like this with my year and make. It is really dangerous and im surprised there hasn't been a recall yet or a terrible possible fatal accident due to the vehicle being non responsive in fast heavy traffic. This engine shut off without warning. I've noticed this happens when it is real cold outside. |
