Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR ROUGH IDLE AND STALLING ISSUES. THEY INFORMED MY THAT IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS AND NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY CLEANING. SO I PAID TO HAVE THOSE THINGS DONE. THEN, 2 DAYS AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND LOST ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE ON THE SHOULDER AND AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 4.7 GC AND COMMANDERS. *TR
