Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 5 IN CALIFORNIA MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT I'VE OWNED FROM NEW SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE JEEP NO LONGER RECOGNIZED THE KEY. THIS HAPPENED IN MODERATE TRAFFIC AROUND 10PM AND WAS ALMOST REARENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER THAT HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT MANEUVER TO AVOID ME. THIS WAS THE SAME KEY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR FROM THE FACTORY. THE JEEP HAS 160,000 ACCIDENT FREE MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED BY JEEP. THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON IT AND ALL OTHER RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
