| Description of the problem | My 2008 jeep grand cherokee limited has lost power on three separate occasions, each time being about a week apart. The first time i was driving along the highway at approx. 70 mph and i noticed all of my controls had gone black, i had no odometer, no radio, no a/c, my car had completely lost power. I coasted to the shoulder and was able to put the car in park and restart it. The second time was pulling out of a store parking lot, crossing traffic at about 10-15 mph. Again, i lost power but was still able to come to a stop, put the car in park and restart it. After this, i brought it to the dealership but they could not replicate the problem and there were no error codes on my car. As i was leaving the dealership and stopped ata red light down the street, i again lost power. This time i was at a complete stop. I put the car in park and restarted and then brought it back to the dealership. Again, they did nothing. I have called chrysler and was told that my car did not show up with any outstanding recalls, however i did see a recall on my model year for this exact problem. My car has about 22,000 miles on it and has run perfectly up until now. |
