NHTSA Complaint #10285826 — 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

I HAVE A 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. IT TURNS OFF AT EVERY STOP OR WHEN I START TO SLOW DOWN. I'VE PAID OVER $500 TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED & NOTHING!! I'VE HAD THE COMPUTER CHANGED, COIL CHANGED, TUNE UP, EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE! MY MECHANIC HAS NO CLUE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT & WHEN I GOOGLE IT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS EXACT TYPE OF VEHICLE & THIS EXACT KIND OF PROBLEM. IT STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO I HAD THE COMPUTER CHANGED. IT WAS WORKING GREAT FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. THEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN ONE DAY WHEN I WAS SITTING ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SHAKE, THEN IT WILL SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT'LL SHAKE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AS IF IT'S ABOUT TO TURN OFF, YET IT'LL STAY ON. IT HESITATES SO MUCH & I'M TIRED OF THIS PROBLEM. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 & HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. MY CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE WHEN THEY ARE WITH ME. I'M AFRAID I WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE & GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I'VE HAD SEVERAL ENCOUNTERS LIKE THIS. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF SOMETIMES IT TAKES LONGER THEN 5-10 MINUTES TO TURN ON AGAIN. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY THING! I LIVE 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM WORK & I HAVE TO LEAVE AT LEAST 40 MINUTES BEFORE I HAVE TO CLOCK IN. MOST OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE STALLS ABOUT 2-3 TIMES ON A GOOD DAY. ON A BAD DAY, IT'LL TAKE ME ALL 40 MINUTES TO GET THERE. ONE DAY I HAD TO LEAVE IT AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL! THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS DROPPED OFF I TRIED STARTING IT & IT STARTED LIKE IT WAS BRAND NEW. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT HELPS OTHERS OUT THERE THAT ARE STRUGGLING LIKE MYSELF. I THINK IF THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WITH MOST VEHICLES LIKE MINE, JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM & GET IT FIXED. *TR
