Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, 5.7L ENGINE. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES (2015) THE JEEP BEGIN TO RANDOMLY STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT ALWAYS HAPPENED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY HOUSE. FUEL LEVELS GOOD, DIDN'T MATTER IF TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. VEHICLE STALLED, CAUSING STEERING TO LOCK. ALMOST IN 3 ACCIDENTS. ONLY REMEDY WAS TO PUT IT IN PARK, JEEP WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS HAPPENED IN JUNE, AUGUST AND OCTOBER. AFTER OCTOBER STALL, I TOOK TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING UNUSUAL, AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE TRAILER TAILLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AND THEY RECOMMEND REPLACE TIPM. THINGS WERE FINE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2016. ON SEPT 2 JEEP STALLS TURNING RIGHT, FULL TANK OF GAS. ON SEPT 6 - STALLS SLIGHTLY TURNING INTO SUICIDE LANE. BACK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAS IT FROM 9/7-9-9. CAN'T REPLICATE IT, AND NO ERRORS COME UP. THEY DO REPLACE RECALL SUN VISORS. SEPT 18 - STALLS GOING STRAIGHT ON ROAD. AGAIN, THIS IS IN THE MORNING, AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY HOUSE. SATURDAY OCT 14. JEEP STALLS AGAIN AROUND NOON TIME. HADN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE FRIDAY 1PM, THE DAY BEFORE. FULL TANK OF GAS. DIED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TOWARDS A RED LIGHT, GOING STRAIGHT. ALMOST REAR ENDED AS A RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP CANT DIAGNOSE ONE THING THAT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THERE IS A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE TIPM AND ALTERNATOR IN THIS JEEP. MY VIN ISN'T COVERED BY THE RECALLS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A TIPM WOULD REMEDY THE SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND CHRYSLER ISN'T HELPING. *TR
