NHTSA Complaint #10366636 — 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

OUT OF NO WHERE MY 98 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE STARTED EXPERIENCING STALLING PROBLEMS AND MISFIRES SPORADICALLY DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WILL BE SITTING AT IDLE OR GOING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND WILL JUST STALL. IT CRANKS BACK UP FINE (MOST OF THE TIME-SOMETIMES, IT TAKES ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF CRANKING IT) THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES - MORNING, NIGHT, COLD, HOT, ETC. IT SEEMS TO ACT WORSE THE LONGER THE VEHICLE HAS SAT UNDRIVEN (OVERNIGHT OR DURING A WORK SHIFT). I STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC - RECENTLY AT A LIGHT AND THEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I COULD NOT START MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL ITEM AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THESE COMPLAINTS. THE IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND WITH THE STALLING ISSUES HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING - IT'S A BIG PROBLEM THAT SOMEONE SHOULD ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I HAVE SPENT A WEEK AT THE MECHANIC SHOP REPLACING PART AND SPENDING MONEY ONLY TO NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DISTRIBUTOR, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SPARK PLUG WIRES, ETC HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM - $500 LATER. *TR
