Vehicle will stall while idling or decelerating. jeep must be put into park or neutral and ignition completely turned off and back on for car engine to turn over. vehicle also has stalled while driving at approximately 35 mph, also needing to be restarted to resume function. the engine light will remain on half of the time once the vehicle has stalled and been restarted. the vehicle stalls anywhere from once to a dozen times a day while driving and it occurs more in the cold weather. this vehicle has been taken to the dealership twice regarding the issue, and has different codes with each visit for things that need to be repaired. this vehicle is a large safety hazard.

Received a safety recall notice some time last year 2014. called and no one was of much assistance. said the parts were not available.they asked for my email and i never received any correspondence back. took the jeep to the dealer as the safety recall letter stated and they said they could not help me out. no accidents yet but i am very concerned for my safety. my tps light stays on constantly. i get my tires checked frequently to fix the issue and everytime i go, i am told my tires are fine. as i was driving, all abs and traction lights go off, making it very difficult to brake safely. i was told my serpentine belt had to be replaced. i had this issue fixed last year, and it was not inexpensive. it has been less than a year and already the problem shows up again. i feel very unsafe driving and i feel this is a recall issue that needs to be addressed. i would appreciate it if someone would contact me regarding this problem and help me out so that i can feel safe while driving.

My daughter was just driving her 2007 jeep grand cherokee and the engine cut out while driving about 70 for about 10 seconds she lost head lights brakes ect. the car then turned back on automatically before she stopped and the esp, abs, bac,traction control lights came on. this is so dangerous and seems to be s common problem. is there a recall? if not shouldn't there be? my husband already replaced the ignition switch regulatorabout two months ago because the lights were going on and off. that repair seemed to have fixed the issue. the serpentine belt is also squeaking like crazy. it has been. replaced twice. first with an inexpensive belt then with a certified belt.

With vehicle parked and the ignition off, i would try to start the car. when i would turn the key, nothing would happen, no sound as if the car was trying to start, not even a tic tic tic. i also noticed that the break pedal would not depress. the first few times i called aaa, but they couldn't start it and had to tow it to a garage. this has happened to me at least seven times leaving me stranded at night in the winter alone along a dark country road. it has happened at the grocery store in the summer when i already loaded all of my groceries into the car, and at my cabin which is over an hour from where i live. i am in my late 60's and walk with a cane so it truly has become a safety issue for me. i have been in touch with corporate office for jeep and have had two cases opened with them. the problem is always something electrical. one time the dealer had my car for over a month trying to figure out the problem. they have put in a new starter several times. they have removed the remote starter installed by jeep when i bought the car, so now i can't use the remote starter i paid to have installed and then paid again to have it uninstalled. the latest they told me is that they do not have the correct part for a permanent fix. they can only replace a part with a new part of the same that will eventually fail. this last time i was told that jeep would pay the bill which they have not. i have now had to pay more to increase my aaa coverage for distance towing since i have been left stranded at my cabin two times. i have also had to pay to rent a car while jeep worked on my vehicle. in addition, there is a safety recall on the ignition switch which the dealer has not repaired within a reasonable amount of time. the date below is just the most recent event. there have been at least 7 similar events.

Fortunately there has not as yet been an incident. however, 8 months to repair an ignition switch is totally unacceptable and the manufacturer says that a remedy is not yet available. i am not looking forward to driving down the highway at 70 mph and have my steering and brakes suddenly stop working due to a faulty ignition switch! i want to know when the nhtsa is going to do something about this recall. *tr
