Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO UNDER 3000 MILES. MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON LESS THAN 10 TIMES ,AND MY CAR HAS STALLED WHEN COME TO STOP LIGHT OR COMPLETE STOP ABOUT 5 TIMES. I HAVE MADE 5 TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND THE FIRST FEW TIMES THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEN THEY DETERMINED IT WAS RELATED TO THE REMOTE START WHICH THEY HAD INSTALLED. I GOT IT BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND IT STALLED OUT WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THAT VERY DAY. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN EXACTLY 1 WEEK LATER. ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON NOW. THIS WILL BE MY 7TH TRIP TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAVE ALSO HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TWICE WHICH MADE THE CAR SHUT OFF AND MY CAR HAS ALSO REVVED UP WITH THE BRAKE ON JUST AS THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. I AM ALSO ONLY GETTING 12 MILES PER GALLON!*AK
