NHTSA Complaint #10693182 — 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

WE OWN A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN WE START THE VEHICLE, FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR COMING TO A STOP. MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND SHE WAS LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE SHE PARKED AT FOR WORK. WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING UP THE RAMP TO EXIT THE GARAGE, THE JEEP SHUT OFF ON HER AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE RAMP INTO A BUILDING SUPPORT PILLAR. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE BACK BUMPER AND TAILLIGHT. WE WERE LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT OR BEHIND HER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHEN I DRIVE THE JEEP IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN. WHEN I LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING AND ARRIVE AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT, THE JEEP WILL SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT TURNS GREEN AT THE SAME TIME SO I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK TO NEUTRAL TO START UP, MAKING SOME PEOPLE MISS THE GREEN. WHEN I LEAVE WORK TO HEAD HOME, EVERY TIME I PULL UP TO THE GATE TO LEAVE, IT SHUTS OFF. IT JUMPS FORWARD WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I WILL HIT THE GATE (HAVE TO GET CLOSE TO GATE IN ORDER FOR SCANNER TO READ GARAGE ACCESS PASS). PLEASE MAKE A SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE GOT LUCKY WITH JUST A MINOR ACCIDENT SO FAR. *TR
