| All electronic door locks fail to work. cannot lock or open them with the key either. this means i cannot lock my vehicle at any time since it will mean locking me out and requiring calling assistance to open my vehicle door. | |||

| When the problem started, approximately 7 months ago, the vehicle would stall when i was slowing for a turn or a stop. it happens intermittantly. fuel filter, fuel pump, tps, ecm, etc. have all been changed, and the problem keeps coming back. lately the vehicle stalls at driving speeds, as well as when slowing. i have been nearly rear ended so many times i can't even count. the stalling is always intermittant, but seems that it happens most frequently when i am on short trips of around 5 miles. i will get to the store and it will stall while i am entering the parking lot, i start it back up and get into a parking space, shop and return to my car, which stalls again as i am backing out, shifting from reverse to drive. then as i leave the parking lot it may stall again, and then again on my way home while driving between 25-40 mph. it is getting increasingly harder to restart. i have noticed many jeep grand cherokee forums online where this same complaint comes up over and over. this seems to be a very wide spread problem and nobody seems to have a remedy that works. many people throw money into parts just guessing at what the problem may be. it seems quite unsafe, not only for the drivers of the jeep gcs, but for the people bound to rear end us. | |||

| At high and low speeds, and when stopped without any warning my 1996 grand cherokee will die and immediately steering is lost. this is totally frightening and life-threatening. the car will start immediately to get out of roadways. i've spent days researching this situation on-line and it is outrageous that there is no recall, there are years of complaints about this situation . i called jeep today at 1-877-426-5337 and was told the phone number of a jeep dealer, along with sincere apologies that there is no recall for this problem. the solution may be that 2 screws associated with the pcm are too long. people have spent thousands and thousands of dollars fixing everything on these jeeps but nothing has worked. i respectfully demand to know why there is no recall, this is a public safety issue!!!!! thank you for your prompt reply. lives depend on it. this is a life-endangering situation - mine and others. there needs to be a recall now. | |||

| I had received a notice to change/flash computer prom by chrysler, so i took in to dealer, it took about 5 minutes. but after this the vehicle starter to miss once in while, but not stall at that time. then it started to get worse, it stalled at low speeds, on the city streets, high speeds on the freeway, right after starting or if it has run for awhile, then acts up throw codes but nothing to the reason why fuel bank or speed sensor, no spark. i looked under hood and shook wires and it will die or run better. now it is doing it too many times, some times in will restart right away, but some times it will take some time to restart. i burned up a starter, and two new fresh batteries with this. wife can not drive it any more i have replaced distributor, cam sensor, crank sensor, removal connection blocks and soldered up the wire connections, which only helped to get power back in the battery. i can still shake the wire loom, and it dies or runs better to this date. so as you see it has not one way or another to make it run bad, we can not depend on this only vehicle now. i am a post ase cert auto tech, w/ computers and i can not figure out. *tr | |||
