 Description of the problemI recently purchased a used 12 grand cherokee from starling chevrolet buick in st. Cloud, fl. I did a ton of research and had been looking for this particular jeep for many months. Our jeep is in immaculate condition and the car fax listed only two minor recalls, the sun visor wiring and a brake component; nothing else. I drove it off the lot a 35 days ago and back home and no problems whatsoever. About 14 days ago my jeep randomly stalled while i was taking a left turn in front of another vehicle (at a safe distance). Thankfully i was able to pull off the side of the road (no power steering) and come to a complete stop, put jeep in park, and started again. I was completely baffled why it did this and took it in for service under my 3 year extended warranty. My dealer was unable to get any error or warning sign on the diagnostic test and could not find any problem whatsoever. My jeep has stalled 2 other times while driving and each time i took it back and the same thing, it would not stall on the mechanic and no check engine light. I was lucky to talk to the previous owner tonight and he explained that he had the tipm replaced 2 times, yes 2 times in this jeep and after the 2nd time the jeep kept stalling on him. My wife and i are terrified that we purchased a ? Lemon? Without having any knowledge about this at all. The car fax did not show this information, my jeep dealer showed me all the warranty history through chrysler and they sincerely want to help us. However, if the faulty tipm will not even show a check engine light, then how do they warranty a part? They cant (or refuse) and that is the lawsuit. The previous owner said he had to fight until he couldn't fight anymore to get his dealer to replace the tipm and it still failed after the fact and is now failing on me. What can i do?
