2008 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	780623
Internal NHTSA #	10322733
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2008
File date	22/03/10
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Total engine shutdown, usually without warning. The incident does not seem to correlate with any given speed. The shutdown has happened at 75mph on highway as well as sitting at a stop light. When engine shuts down you lose the power steering and brakes. If it were to stall while making an abrupt turn it could cause an accident. This happens multiple times per day. Truck has been with the dealer now for a week and it has them "baffled". The computer system is not logging any malfunction related to the stall. In order to restart the truck you need to place the transmission into park and remove the key from the ignition. The truck will start up immediately and could run fine for as far as 20 miles or as little as 20 feet. I find it rather odd that there was a recall for 1338 vehicles in early 2008 where faulty modules could lead to vehicles stalling while driving. It makes you wonder if the issue was truly contained. Vehicle has ~33,000 miles on it. *cn

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
