2011 grand cherokee overland 5.7 v8 approx 124000 miles stalled when turning left through intersection slowing from 50 to 25 mph. steering and brakes failed. all recalls have been performed. this was supposedly fixed with p54 (fuel pump relay). fortunately i was not towing my boat. this issue seems to have spanned many years and is extremely dangerous.

While driving and deceleration the jeep shuts off. no lights come on indicating that the vehicle is no longer running. the first clue is loss of power steering and brakes. this always happens within the first couple miles of driving. the jeep starts right back up and then 99% of the time won't stall again for a couple days. this is getting more frequent.

It has now happened several times in which i'm driving and the jeep suddenly loses all engine power, braking and power steering. this happens on the highway. there are never any warning lights or sounds to signal this is about to take place. this last time it almost made me cause an accident.

I was driving down the highway at 60mph when i let off the gas and hot the brakes to slow down for a corner the engine shut down and i lost breaks and steering. i was able to muscle the steering through the corner and coasted to a stop. i put the jeep in park, got the break pedal and started the vehicle back up. everything seemed to work again. when i lost the engine, breaks and steering nothing else was effected. i still had lights, radio and gauges. but, no warning lights or codes came on.

Takata recall. when my vehicle is in motion arriving at an intersection, and i decrease the speed, the engine shuts down and at the same time the steering wheel is stuck, making it impossible to turn, and the brakes get hard. i have already taken the car 3 times to the jeep shop and they have not been able to fix this problem. since this problem started 2 months have passed and it has already happened 4 times. the car does not show any errors on the screen or afterwards when they are read. it is very dangerous because it always stays in the middle of the intersection without being able to do anything.

On multiple occasions in the last few days, the brakes have failed to respond (extreme force is needed to push down on the brake pedal), which delays braking time/distance significantly. this is happening specifically when trying to disengage from cruise control. this almost caused a crash. the car had a break booster recall in 2017 and this repair was completed at that time.

I received a letter jan/2018 for a power brake booster recall. took the vehicle into the dealership had the repair done feb/2018. june 5th, 2018 i pulled into the gas station and filled up, when i pulled out of the gas station i tapped the brake and there was nothing there. the breaks went completely out, i was forcing my whole body weight on the breaks to get the jeep to stop!! there was a truck coming and all i could think of is my small child in the back seat. i have very quick responses, but i was not expecting this to happen at all or even after a recall fix???? i have never been so terrified in my whole life and being so helpless in this situation! i am really shaken up and glad no one got hurt. it was too close to be a close call. chrysler you need to fix this issue or get all of these models off the road before someone gets seriously hurt or worse killed. now i have to trade this jeep in because it is a death trap and i will always be ...
