NHTSA Complaint #10336367 — 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS LOST POWER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, EACH TIME BEING ABOUT A WEEK APART. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 70 MPH AND I NOTICED ALL OF MY CONTROLS HAD GONE BLACK, I HAD NO ODOMETER, NO RADIO, NO A/C, MY CAR HAD COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. THE SECOND TIME WAS PULLING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT, CROSSING TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH. AGAIN, I LOST POWER BUT WAS STILL ABLE TO COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. AFTER THIS, I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES ON MY CAR. AS I WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AND STOPPED ATA RED LIGHT DOWN THE STREET, I AGAIN LOST POWER. THIS TIME I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND THEN BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AGAIN, THEY DID NOTHING. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR DID NOT SHOW UP WITH ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS, HOWEVER I DID SEE A RECALL ON MY MODEL YEAR FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 22,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS RUN PERFECTLY UP UNTIL NOW. *TR
