Consumer Description

I AM DRIVING A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE 3.0 L DIESEL ENGINE. COMPLAINT: WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT LANE MY JEEP STALLED AND AS I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE LANES I ALMOST GOT HIT. I LOST POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER THE CAR AND ENDED UP HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR WITH SOME HELP TO THE CURBSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I KNOW THE JEEP HAS A MERCEDES BENZ ENGINE JUST LIKE OTHER MERCEDES THAT NOW I HAVE ALSO HEARD 2007 MERCEDES BENZES WITH THE SAME EXACT DIESEL ENGINE HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE NOTE THAT JEEP, WITH THE SAME ENGINE IS HAVING SAME ENGINE PROBLEM AND PLEASE RECALL SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT IN DANGER. IT WAS A VERY SCARY DAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR LOST MY LIFE OR MY CHILDS LIFE OR ANOTHER FAMILY. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS ENGINE ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. *TR
