The Vehicle well completely stop with no indication of stopping the engine just turns off power steering is gone power brakes are gone there’s nothing

When driving the truck will randomly shut off or stall no matter the speed or if its parked. replaced the crankshaft and cam shaft position sensor and still has the same issue. These vehicles must have a bad ECM unit on them or something.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GIVES A CODE ( SIGNAL LOSS FROM CPS AND CKPS) CAN'T ACCELERATE WITHOUT BACKFIRE AND MISSING. SOMETIMES WHEN CROSSING R/R TRACKS THE ENGINE WILL DIE IT STARTS BACK UP AFTER YOU WIGGLE THE 3 MAIN CONNECTORS

THE ECM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL AND MISFIRE AT ANY SPEED MAINLY WHEN ACCELERATING MAKING IT HARD TO KEEP UNDER CONTROL SAFELY.

WHEN TRAVELING AT 75MPH OR JUST MAKING A SLOW TURN AT AN INTERSECTION IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE SEEN RECALLS ON OTHER 2004 JEEPS BUT NOT THIS VIN # IT IS DANGEROUS AND DEADLY. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S

WITHOUT WARNING MY JEEPS ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS WHILE STOPPED OR DRIVING IT WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. WHEN IT HAS SHUT OFF IT WILL STILL TURN OVER AND I HAVE POWER TO EVERYTHING I NEED BUT IT WILL NOT FIRE UP. THIS HAPPENED FIRST ON A SUNNY MORNING DRIVING IN TOWN. I TOWED IT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND COULD NOT GET ANY CODES. IT FIRED UP AND I THOUGHT IT WAS FINE SO I KEPT DRIVING IT. AT THIS POINT ABOUT TEN MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WHILE CRUISING ALONG A BUSY ROAD IT SHUT OFF, I HAD POWER AND THE ABILITY TO STEER BUT NO POWER STEERING. LUCKILY I HAD A DRIVEWAY TO PULL INTO AND I COASTED INTO IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. AT THIS POINT I...

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO HAVING VEHICLE BE INCLUDED UNDER SAFETY RECALL FOR STALLING ENGINE. *AS *JS

THE VEHICLE STALLS .SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING IT RUNS LIKE A DREAM AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT SHUTS OFF

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD HISSING SOUND. NOTICED IT WAS A MANIFOLD LEAK AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION NOTICED TWO BOLTS WERE BROKE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR BY THE FIREWALL. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REMOVE THESE BROKEN BOLTS OTHER THAN PULLING THE MOTOR. NO MECHANIC WILL TOUCH IT. THEREFORE LEAVING THE COST ON THE CONSUMER. THE GRADE OF THE BOLTS ARE VERY POOR. THEY KNEW THE 4.7 V8 MOTOR WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE CONSUMER TO FIX THESE ISSUES. LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE IT IS NOT SAFE IT IS NOT FAIR. NOW THE CONSUMER HAS TO WORRY THAT'S EXCESSIVE HEAT THAT ESCAPED OUT THE MANIFOLD DUE TO THE BROKEN BOLTS DOESN'T CATCH ANYTHING ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING POSSIBLY INJURING OR FATALLY INJURING THE PEOPLE...

AFTER DOING WUITE ALOT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEEROKEES HAVE A KNOWN STALLING PROBLEM THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED. THESE VEHICLES STALL WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES TO FAIL. CREATING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. EVERY COMPLAINT I HAVE SEEN STATES THAT THE OWNERS HAVE SUNK LOTS OF MONEY AND REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WHY HAS THIS STALLING ISSUE NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED, AND JEEP HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE REPAIRS? I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS ALL OVER THE INTERNET DESCRIBING THIS SAME STALLING HAZARD.

TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE IS LEAKING IT'S BEEN WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THE MOTOR HAS AIR IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM AFTER REPLACEMENT OF RADIATOR. THE POWER STEERING LINE WAS REPLACED. THE BACK WIPER MOTOR DOES NOT WORK. SOMETHING INEW THE DASH MAKES A MOVING SOUND AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD BRAKE LINES FIXED. THE VEHICLE LOOSES OIL ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE LINE LEAKING. THE BACK WIPER NOT WORKING MAKES IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW.

I HAVE A 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE . SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I STARTED TO HAVE STALLING ISSUES. HOT OR COLD, DRY OR WET, FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY OR LAST, IT DIDN'T MATTER. THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, RECRANK IT AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE JUST TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, OTHERWISE IT DRIFTS OUT OF CONTROL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYDAY. IT'S DANGEROUS BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE TO DRIVE TO GET TO WORK AND FROM THE INTERNET A LOT OF OTHER JEEP USERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE WHICH HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS AND EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF, ALL CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES DUE TO THE WIRING INSIDE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN 2009 AFTER AT ABOUT 46,000 MILES. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP GIVE ME AN EXACT PRICE OVER THE PHONE AS THEY KNEW OF THIS ISSUE. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY RUDE AND PRICE WAS VERY HIGH.I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A HIGHLY REGARDED REPAIR SHOP WHICH SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRICAL WORK WHICH COST $201 BUT NOW (AT 80,000 MILES) THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN DUE TO THE OPENING...

THE TWO REAR BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVE SHEARED OFF CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT EXHAUST LEAK AND POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE WHILE ENGINE IS COLD. BASED UPON INTERNET RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON 4.7L V8 ENGINES. *TR
