NHTSA Complaint #10191213 — 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

I PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED W/ A 4.7L V8 ENGINE IN EARLY 2005 FROM HUNTER CHRYSLER IN CHARLOTTE, NC , NOW OWNED BY METROLINA CHRYSLER, SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE,NC. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW IT STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS - SOMETIMES WHEN I WAS AT A STOP, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT RATED SPEEDS! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY HAVE FINALLY ADMITTED THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS ENGINE, BUT NO ONE COULD OFFER A SOLUTION. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES, WHO WERE ALWAYS VERY COURTEOUS, BUT NO ONE HAS OFFERED A SOLUTION. THE LAST CHRSYLER REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO WAS TO RECOMMEND TO ME TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN. WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD TAKE A LOSS ON THE TRADE-IN VALUE , LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD BUT 48000 MILES HE SUGGESTED THAT A CHRYSLER DISTRICT MANAGER WOULD BE IN CONTACT AND COULD MAYBE HELP SOFTEN THE FINANCIAL BLOW. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE KEPT STALLING AND I WAS AFRAID THAT I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GET HURT OR WORSE. MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. *AK
