| I have had an on going electrical problem with my 08 jeep grand cherokee. when i am driving my jeep at various speeds it goes off. it has happened numerous times at different speeds. on the interstate at 55 miles per hour it has gone dead at night and my headlights, dash and steering all goes out. i have had to shift into neutral and restart the car. it has gone off more frequently just driving around town, no warning happens it just dies. i have had my car in the shop several times and their tests show nothing wrong and when they drive it they say it does not die on them. it is in the shop now again and has not gone off on them. they put a recorder on my car and let me drive it and said if it died to push the recorder button and it would record the incident and they would know what was wrong. it went off 6 times in two days and i pushed the button 6 times. they said they checked the recorder and it showed no incidents!!!! i know this is a safety concern, i guess no one will do anything until there is a fatality. i understand my vin# is not included in the recall for the 2008 jeep electrical problem. i am not sure why. | |||

| I purchased a brand new jeep grand cherokee limited in 2008. almost from the very begining i've had problems with this vehicle & had been going back & forth to the dealership for one repair after the other. although the previous issues were serious, they did not rise to the level of being a health/safety hazard as my current problem does. in 2011, i started experiencing intermittent electrical failure; specifically, the vehicle would just stop no matter whether i was driving 70 on the hwy or 30 in a neighborhood. the vehicle would turn off without warning & i would be left trying (w/out any power steering) to coast to the side of the road with whatever momentum was left. once to the side of the road, i put the vehicle in park, turned the ignition to the off position & wait a few seconds. i would then start the vehicle right up as if nothing had happened. i have taken the jeep in to the dealer where the problem could not be duplicated. i've gotten to the point where each time it stops, i call the dealer service dept just so the record would show that i called, reported the problem had occurred again & also to vent my frustration of this recurring problem. my concerns: 1) the stalling is happening more frequently 2) the problem can't be duplicated on cue 3) i can't get more than a condescending, what do you want tone from mgmt at the dealership & 4) there does not seem to be any sense of urgency from anyone other than myself . my questions: does there really have to be some type of accident or fatality before someone actually tries to find out why this is happening & fix it? why aren't the service people equipped to do more than just speak to the vehicle owner as if we are stupid & like i'm just making up stories. although they haven't been able to duplicate the problem, is there truly someone trying to find out what the problem is? who do i need to contact? | |||

| There is a recall (#89275) for improperly manufactured front control modules on certain 2008 jeep grand cherokees. i own one such make and model (bought it used in june 2011), and am being told that i may have to replace my front control module by a service writer at the local jeep dealer. it would not start this morning at all. since august there has been intermittment malfuntions in the automatic start, navigation system and power seat settings, and parking assist, too. i am being told separately by the jeep national recall center that the recall is vin-specific and does not impact my particular vehicle. is this a legitimate explanation of fact by jeep? | |||
