ENGINE STALLS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE
ENGINE STALL/SHUT OFF ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES/HR IN CENTER LANE OF A FIVE LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON DIFFERENT DAYS. I'M ORIGINAL OWNER. HEAVY FAILURE ANALYSIS DONE. ALLEGE THAT JEEP CUT CORNERS THAT RISK DRIVER SAFETY. THEY USED AND MAY STILL BE USING CHEAP CHINESE MICROPROCESSOR CHIPS IN THEIR PROGRAM CONTROL MODULES (PCM). FRED BAILEY FATAL ACCIDENT IS TELLING. HIS JEEP SHUT DOWN ON A BRIDGE. PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. TRACTOR TRAILER PLOWS INTO THE BACK OF THIS JEEP (LIKE MINE). THE GAS TANK EXPLODES AND HE DIES. WWW.DYINGJEEP.COM SHOWS A JEEP VIDEO ACTUALLY DOING THE STALL/DIE ROUTINE. WWW.JEEP FORUM.COM HAS LITERALLY THOUSANDS ON POSTS/THREADS BY ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED OWNER WHO HAVE EVEN MUCH NEWER JEEPS THAT DO THE SAME THING. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP MY JEEP IN WORKING CONDITION. IT IS WORTH ABOUT $3,000 IF IT WAS RELIABLE. I DID THE FUEL TANK RECALL. BROUGHT IN THE JEEP. IT ALREADY HAD A TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED. THEY KEEP THE JEEP FOR HOURS. LIKELY DID NOTHING TO IT UNDER THE RECALL. DIDN'T GIVE ME $100 GIFT CARD. EDMONDS VALUE OF MY CAR WITH 247,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IS LESS THAN $1,000. EVEN IF I GOT THE EXTRA $1,000 RECALL CREDIT, IT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER LOW QUALITY VEHICLE FROM A BRAND I DO NOT TRUST. IN SHORT, JEEP NEEDS TO MAKE NEW PROGRAM CONTROL MODULES AVAILABLE AGAIN AND AT AFFORDABLE COST. THEY OWE SAFETY TO ALL JEEP OWNERS. SHAME ON THEM AND GOOD ON YOU FOR FINING THEM $105 MILLION. THERE IS POTENTIAL CAUSE TO FINE THEM EVEN MORE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS STALL/DIE ISSUE. THE STALL LEADS TO THE REAR END COLLISION AS WE CAN EASILY DEDUCE FROM THE FRED BAILEY EVENT. NO TIME TO REACT TO THE STALL... THEN BOOM. I BELIEVE JEEP HAS HIDDEN INFORMATION ABOUT THESE EVENTS FROM YOU. THE PROBLEM IS NO SECRET TO OWNERS FROM 1992 ON.
LAST SUMMER I HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING.THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP. AND ALTERNAER AND BELTS.THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO HAD A TUNEUP.THE VEHICLE STA.. IIRTS RIGHT UP BUT WHEN I AM DRIVING IT WILL CUT OFF AT ANY TIME.THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE .I HAVE PUT OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN MY VEHICLE.THE DEALER HAS TAKEN MY MONEY AND THE VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP.I AM RETIRED AND I NEED MY CAR TO GET AROUND.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. IN ADDITION, WATER SPILLED FROM THE VEHICLE'S WATER PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.
MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SPUTTERING, STALLING WHEN STOPPED AND WHEN DRIVING, BACKFIRES BLOWN APART 2 MUFFLERS. IT WILL NOT SHOW A CHECK LIGHT OR GIVE AN ERROR CODE WHEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER. HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE. HAVE DONE AS THEY HAVE AND REPLACED NEARLY EVERY SENSOR. HAVE YET TO REPLACE PCM/ECM. DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL FIX DUE TO SOME ONLINE HAVE AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. LIKE THE PEOPLE ONLINE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS, NONE OF WHICH COULD DUPLICATE OR FIND A PROBLEM. SURPRISED WITH AS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE JEEP HASN'T RESOLVED THIS. I THINK DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE TRADED THEIR JEEPS IN AND GOTTEN VERY LITTLE TOWARDS TRADE-IN.
MY 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (ORIGINAL OWNER) STUMBLES AND DIES, IT DOES RESTART ONCE I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. IT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT. I HAD A TOTAL OF 8 INCIDENCES IN THE PAST WEEK. 6 TIMES HAPPENED PULLING UP TO STOP SIGN AT ABOUT 15 MPH. 2 TIMES HAPPENED WHILE CRUISING ALONG AT 55 MPH. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKE BOOST. THERE IS A LOT OF INTERNET INFORMATION REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M WORRIED DRIVING MY JEEP IN ANY TRAFFIC NOW. *TR
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AS IF POWER HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, AFTER A WHILE NOW IT IS BACKFIRING, STALLING OUT, BUCKING. I HAVE READ MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM THE I CARE TO READ. MOST OF THE TIME THEY LEAD TO THE PCM. AND IM CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY JEEP HASN'T FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP THROWING MONEY INTO THE CAR TO KEEP IT RUNNING. LET ALONE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED MORE SENSORS THEN I CARE TO MENTION AND HAVE TRIED ALL THE DIY TACTICS. NOW MY MUFFLER IS EXPLODED. THAT BATTERY KEEPS DYING AND I AM FORCED TO BORROW A FAMILY MEMBERS CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK BECAUSE JEEP CANT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GONE TO A SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD "WE CANT FIND THE PROBLEM". IT IS UNSAFE FOR IT TO STALL OUT AND BACKFIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AND IT IS KILLING MY FINANCES. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT RELATIVELY LOW HIGHWAY SPEED (50MPH) UP A SMALL INCLINE. LOW RPM (1200RPM). WITH SHARP HIGHWAY CURVE COMING UP, VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON. STEERING BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. TURNED KEY OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO TURN STEERING TO FOLLOW CURVE. LUCKILY SUNDAY NIGHT TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT OR COULD HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENT. ENGINE FINALLY STARTED UP AND STEERING PRESSURE WAS RESTORED. KEPT RPM OVER 2500RPM FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND CAR BUCKED A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE FIRST 5 OR SO MINUTES. RAN SMOOTHLY AFTERWARDS WITH ENGINE RPM KEPT HIGHER (2500+). HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND FOLLOW SIDE STREETS TO GET HOME. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR 3000-4000 MILES AND I'VE HAD NEARLY EVERYTHING REPLACED, COIL, SPARK PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, STARTING ON SENSORS NOW. *TR
STALLS IDLING AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WITH FAULTY GAS TANK NEWS CAUSING FIRES THAT KILL AFTER REAR COLLISIONS, DRIVING NOT KNOWING IF IT WILL STALL OR NOT IS PRETTY UNNERVING. PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS, RECALL THESE DEATH TRAPS. *TR

DRIVING AT STEADY 35 MPH ENGINE STARTED TO STUTTER,LOST POWER AND STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY. TOOK A FEW TIMES CRANKING TO RESTART,FINALLY STARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO WARNING OR DASH INDICATOR LIKE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND THOUSANDS SPENT SINCE,PROBLEM STILL OCCURS NOW AVERAGE OF TWICE WEEKLY. OCCURS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS,TEMPERATURES AND CONDITIONS. HAVE FOUND ONLINE REFERENCE TO MANY SIMILAR STALLING PROBLEMS FOR PEOPLE AROUND US. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL OR BULLETINS THAT WOULD HELP FIX,VERY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. FINALLY FOUND THAT IF JIGGLE WIRE CONNECTOR TO ENGINE E.C.U. COULD MAKE ENGINE STALL. E.C.U. HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT WEBSITE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER SAID THE WIRING PULLS DOWN ON THE CONNECTORS EVENTUALLY FRACTURING THE SOLDER HOLDING CONNECTOR PINS AGAINST INNER CONNECTIONS CAUSES THIS.HE PROVED BY RESOLDERING AS NEEDED BUT SAID THE WIRE ROUTING AND 90 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE CONNECTORS WILL CAUSE RECURRENCE. *TR

THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO STALLS AT ANY SPEED AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STOPS AND CAN EVEN SEND A STRONG BACKFIRE ABLE TO CRACK THE MUFFLER. IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOM IT STRUGGLES AND STALLS. SOMETIMES IT REMAINS ON AND SOMETIMES DIE. IT BROKE ME 3 MUFFLERS. A LOT OF MONEY AND WORK HAVE BEEN DONE BY MECHANICS INCLUDING JEEP DEALER WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. PCM AND A LOT OF PARTS HAD BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED ONLY IN PART. IT STILL DIE WHILE DRIVING. THIS JEEP CHEROKEE IS NOT RELIABLE TO USE IN HIGHWAY FOR THE RISK TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE. JEEP AND MECHANICS ARE AT RANDOM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE VISITED WEB SITES ABOUT JEEP PROBLEMS AND I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY, REGARDLESS OF SPEED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, LENGTH OF TIME ENGINE RUNS, OR ANY OTHER CONCEIVABLE FACTOR. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I DROVE IT TO A TOWN 30 MILES AWAY AND BACK WITH NO ISSUE. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY RESIDENCE. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THE MALFUNCTIONS NOR COMPUTER CODES TO DOWNLOAD. HAVE REPLACED COMPUTER, CONNECTORS TO COMPUTER, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND MANY OTHER NUMEROUS PARTS. VARIOUS MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE, SOME HAVE GIVEN UP DUE TO FRUSTRATION. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS DENY EVER HEARING OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, I HAVE MET THREE OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS IN PERSON WHO HAVE HAD IDENTICAL ISSUES. INTERNET SEARCHES WILL REVEAL NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR
ENGINE STALLS EITHER AT SPEED OR DURING IDLE AFTER 20 MINUTES. WILL CONTINUE TO STALL FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES, SOMETIMES VERY HARD TO START DURING THIS TIME. THEN VEHICLE WILL RUN FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE NEXT DAY, OR AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE PROCESS WILL START AGAIN. EVERY DAY IT WILL STALL AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES - SOMETIMES WHILE TURNING, WHICH WILL CAUSE A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY, OR WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, OR WHILE AT A RED LIGHT OR INTERSECTION. I NARROWLY ESCAPED AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT STALLED AND A BIG RIG ALMOST SLAMMED INTO ME. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, SOMETIMES IT RUNS VERY ROUGH AND BACKFIRES, WHICH CAUSED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BLOW OUT. NOW THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER RATTLES AND CAUSED MY EMISSIONS TEST TO FAIL WITH HIGH NO(PPM) OUTPUT. I'M GOING TO NEED TO CHANGE THE PCM AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FIX THIS, BUT THIS WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR 1996 VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. JEEP ISSUED AN EMISSIONS RECALL IN LATE 2006 TO UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE ON CERTAIN 1996 VEHICLES. AS PART OF THE RECALL, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WILL ALSO BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY. 1997 VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL FOR SOME REASON. PLEASE INCLUDE THE 1997 VEHICLES IN THIS RECALL. *TR
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY JEEP LOST POWER THEN STALLED AND WOULD NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY, AFTER 10 MINUTES IT RESTARTED AND WAS OK. ONCE AGAIN TODAY IT DID THE SAME THING AND AFTER TAKING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE COMPUTER MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT STALLS. HOT OR COLD, NIGHT OR DAY, IDLING AT A LIGHT OR GOING 75MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED, THE O2 SENSOR REPLACES, THE WATER PUMP REPLACED, THE CRANK SENSOR REPLACED, THE MAP SENSOR REPLACED, AND THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED (I DO STILL HAVE THE OLD IGNITION COIL). IT'S IN THE SHOP NOW, AND AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, MOST OF THEM BEING CHARGED AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY BY JEEP DEALERS WHO, ULTIMATELY, DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD NOT BE SO CONCERNED, BUT LIKE MANY JEEP OWNERS, I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. THE PROBLEM STARTED ALMOST A YEAR AGO, HAPPENS DAILY, AND IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN ON A BUSY ROAD OR HIGHWAY WHEN I AM GOING 60+MPH, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY KIDS. *TR
