NHTSA Complaint #10311352 — 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO START THE CAR IS SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE RESOLUTION TO IT. IT'S A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL HIGHWAYS. THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO TURN OVER WHILE TRYING TO START IT HOWEVER NONE OF THE GAUGES ARE RESPONDING TO THE KEY IN THE IGNITION DURING TURN OVER. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO EVERYTHING FROM SENSOR'S TO PCM ( MAIN COMPUTER ) TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN MY CASE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM ISN'T STORING ANY CODES WITH A PROBLEM. INITIALLY I CHANGED THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR BECAUSE OF THE CODE BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN THERE IS NO POWER STEERING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. *TR
