Consumer Description

03' JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 100K MILES. HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN CARE OF. I'M IN THE NAVY AND AM STATIONED AT NS NORFOLK WHERE THERE MANY TUNNELS. SO, I'M DRIVING HOME FROM THE NAVAL STATION AND MY JEEP IS RUNNING PERFECT, THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN NOTHING. IT JUST DIES. I LET IT SIT A FEW MINUTES AFTER BARELY MAKING OFF THE ROAD AND IT STARTED BACK UP. EVER SINCE IT HAS STARTED DOING THIS PERIODICALLY AND ALWAYS NO PRIOR INDICATION. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE MY WIFE AND CHILD TRYING TO GET THROUGH A TUNNEL, OR A CURVE ANYWHERE AND IT JUST DIES. ALL OF THE SUDDEN NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES AND TRAFFIC ZOOMING EVERYWHERE. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. IT SEEMS TO BE DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE, BUT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE PCM SHORTING OUT. *TR
