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

Issue ID	855004
Internal NHTSA #	10397869
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2008
File date	22/04/11
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Engine stops running while the vehicle is being driven. Typically the failure occurs when the throttle is closed during deceleration i. E. (when decelerating to exit the freeway or decelerating to stop in traffic). The problem was first encountered at 14k miles and persists to date. The vehicle currently has accrued 46k miles. The vehicle has been to the dealer on 5 occasions for diagnosis/repair of the problem. The dealer cannot duplicate the problem and no fault codes are stored in the on board diagnostic system memory. Chrysler customer service was contacted for assistance to no avail. The chrysler customer service representative merely contacted the servicing dealer and was told no driveability issues exist with the vehicle. I note the vehicle stopped running in traffic after leaving the dealer service department 4/22/2011 (chrysler customer service was advised). This condition is unsafe as steering and braking systems are significantly degraded without power assist.
