NHTSA Complaint #10971674 — 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

SUDDEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING OR AT IDLE. APPLICABLE AT ALL SPEEDS FROM IDLE TO FREEWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART IF THE VEHICLE SITS FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND OTHER TIMES IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED FOR THREE HOURS OR MORE. I HAVE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND FREEWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES, HAVE PAID OVER $400 IN REPAIR BILLS TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS IN INTERNET FORUMS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING AND MOST SEEM TO LEAD TO A FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE NOT YET REPLACED THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE MYSELF SINCE THEY CAN COST OVER $400 AND THE DEALER CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL FIX IT. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS REOCCURRING ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD WARRANT N INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OF VEHICLES STALLING. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE NO SINGLE DATE THAT I CAN PROVIDE. I HAVE QUIT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER DUE TO CONCERN FOR SAFETY.
