| Description of the problem | Since turning 38,000 miles my jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited has begun to stall with regularity. The vehicle also shifts very hard while at highway speeds. The vehicle has stalled while standing at a stop, traveling on secondary roads, and highway speeds. The dealer has changed some sensors etc without any success. Even work done at an independent garage has failed to solve anything. This vehicle has become an absolute death trap. I depend on this vehicle for work and to transport my 1 year old. When the vehicle stalls no lights indicate an issue and no codes are stored. The dealer has sent me packing numerous times. They always say to come back when a light comes on. I've tried to explain that the next time may be the last time. A search online showed that my situation is far from the only one. I've had numerous jeeps over the year and never had this problem. Something has got to be resolved. Not only am i and my family in danger, but anyone near me while i'm on the road. Who would expect the car in front of them on the highway traveling at 65 mph to just stop. Please nhtsa step up and flex some muscle. |
