Description of the problem	2008 grand cherokee 4x4 4. 7l flexfuel extremely sluggish on throttle demand (305 hp ???!!!), harsh transmission up/down shift and stalling at highway speeds (four occurrences within five weeks) . The dealership performed the february 2008 recall of the fcm (front control module) after being directed by the customer to do so since the serial # on the module matched the "wrongly manufactured" ones; however, the vin search within chrysler recall database returned empty. Evidently, the dealership owning the new vehicle at the date of the recall never performed it (as required by law) . The incident repeated after the replacement of the fcm. The dealership retrieved an abs fault code hence decided that the pcm (powertrain control module) is defective???!!! ( seven days on back order) "lifetime powertrain warranty" seems to be accomplished by ignoring of the driver's safety. The software running on the pcm should never be given the choice of immediately shutting off of the engine especially when the vehicle travels at a high rate of speed. Modern steering and braking systems are almost non-operational when there is no available assisting power.
