Consumer Description

THIS WAS MANY YEARS AGO, BUT WITH THE INVESTIGATION INTO ENGINE'S UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT. THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS A '96 OR '97, NOT SURE ANYMORE. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD, NOT A HIGHWAY BUT WHERE YOU COULD TRAVEL IN THE 40'S AND THE ENGINE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALER AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME AT A SLOWER SPEED. BROUGHT IT BACK THE DEALER AND AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK UNTIL THEY FOUND AND REPAIRED. HE ASKED IF HE COULD DRIVE IT HOME, HOPING TO REPLICATE ISSUE, HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. THIS WAS A DEALER IN TAMPA, FL, SO HOPEFULLY THERE IS A RECORD OF WHAT THEY FOUND. IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT WE SOLD THE CAR SHORTLY AFTER. *TR
