| I am filing this now for july 09 due to the same issue that happened yesterday, 4-7-10.. this is not a safe vehicle and jeep needs to fix this problem. it is unsafe when a vehicle gives no warning and completely shuts off on an interstate. also, please see my safety complaint odi # 10324403 for the 4-7-10 incident. in july 09, after going through a toll at exit 67 barneget toll , garden state parkway,nj, i accelerated to the merge point and vehicle shut down and engine stalled and lost power. several attempts to restart didn't work. seems like it shut down electrically and was not getting gas adequatly. seems to lack adequate power. attempt to start several times with no luck, engine wouldn't stay running, long start-up inconsistant, dash lights did come on to inform of no power. let sit to cool down vehicle and was able to start and move to a more safer location. this was the first occurance and the temperature outside was 90 f and sunny. this occurred at 15000 miles in july 09. vehicle went to 3 service visits and dealers could not repeat. | |||

| 2008 grand cherokee 4x4 4.7l flexfuel extremely sluggish on throttle demand (305 hp ???!!!), harsh transmission up/down shift and stalling at highway speeds (four occurrences within five weeks) . the dealership performed the february 2008 recall of the fcm (front control module) after being directed by the customer to do so since the serial # on the module matched the wrongly manufactured ones; however, the vin search within chrysler recall database returned empty. evidently, the dealership owning the new vehicle at the date of the recall never performed it (as required by law) . the incident repeated after the replacement of the fcm. the dealership retrieved an abs fault code hence decided that the pcm (powertrain control module) is defective???!!! ( seven days on back order) lifetime powertrain warranty seems to be accomplished by ignoring of the driver's safety. the software running on the pcm should never be given the choice of immediately shutting off of the engine especially when the vehicle travels at a high rate of speed. modern steering and braking systems are almost non-operational when there is no available assisting power. *tr | |||
