Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
You need to fix this nhsta web site so people can enter complaints without all the validation - it was very painful to enter this request and I bet many people just give up. Examples: I looked for chrysler and could not find "other" was not an option, too many other companies to scroll through - finally I realized daimler chrysler. Also I entered a perfectly valid and the web site would not accept it saying it was invalid. Now - on to the real issue... 1993 jeep cherokees with 50k-70k miles will stall on highway/other roads (quite dangerous). Vehicle restarts after 1-2 retries. Took to 3 shops and they found nothing and finally found that crank shaft sensor had to be replaced when I met someone else who had same problem.
When jeep gets to running temperature (5-10 minutes) it will back and stall when you go to take off from a stop. Very dangerous when merging with traffic or at busy intersection. Had been in shop for 10 weeks, replaced computer, tried many sensor replacements to no avail, mechanic gave up, now at dealership where they can find nothing wrong (no computer code stored) when it is just running.they have not driven it on the road for fear of breaking down in traffic. Can not get it started again until it "cools down" oil pressure gauge reading very high (any correlation?) was an intermittent problem at first,( started last dec., bought it in nov) now chronic, with every drive. The last time I drove it, it was also starting off in third gear (automatic) although the computer replacement (remanufactured) seems to have fixed that, although I also had the transmission fluid and filter changed. (I had not experienced any transmission problems up to then) hood latch seems to have a problem and battery recently died, needing replacement.
