| Description of the problem | Driving on an onramp to the garden state parkway truck shut off and lost all power to motor.. Had to cost to side of highway and try to restart vehicle.. This put me in danger of not only causing a major highway crash leading to injury and death but also had to figure out what is still wrong with this truck.. The only way to start this vehicle is to come to a complete stop.. Put it into park... Remove the key fob ... Re insert key fob and truck starts right back up... Since 2008 i have filled reports of this exact problem happening.. And no fix has come from jeep or a recall forcing action of these jeep grand cherokees.. In researching this problem i have found this has been a common problem in the jeep grand cherokee line going back to 2007 and still you or chrysler corporation has not taken action. Please my life as well as others driving on the road could be saved be a recall to address this very serious issue ... I ask you will it take me death or the death of others to get a response from some one. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
