Similar to the summary in odi id #10026122, 2003 jeep grand cherokee hesitates on acceleration, malfunction indicator light flashes, and vehicle runs very rough. fortunately still under warranty, but this is the third fuel injector that needed to be replaced within the past three months. dealer service department admits having similar problems with other new grand cherokees, but blames it on "bad gas." vehicle has 15,000 miles on odometer.

Over a one (1) month period, my car has been serviced by the dealer four (4) times due to a hesitation when accelerating especially at speeds over 60 mph. when attempting to accelerate the car begins to stutter and the malfunction indicator light appears and continually flashes. this problem has nearly caused me to be in two accidents! when this first began, the problem occurred only at higher speeds. however, by the third and fourth occurrence it was happening at only 20 mph and when at a stop light the car would shake and begin to die. there are only 12,000 miles on the vehicle and it is less than one (1) year old. *jb
