Consumer Description

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 3.0 CRD DIESEL ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS AND THEN ABRUPTLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON AN INCLINE (WITH A TRAILER IN TOW) AT THE TIME AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL BEING TOWED. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE JEEP AND TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND TODAY (8/15/2011) I WAS TOLD THIS IS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I DO KNOW OF OTHER 3.0 CRD JEEPS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.0 CRD DIESEL ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILURE. IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT ANY SPEED. *TR
