1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee: engine stalls while driving

Filed Sep 8, 2006 · Electrical, Engine · 161,526 miles · OH

My 1995 jeep grand cherokee limited 4x4 keeps stalling all the time. Rough idle when started and check engine light comes on all the time. Also, alarm is defective and flashes the exterior lights and honks the horn anytime any of the doors are opened or closed and the power lock button is pushed to lock or unlock. The engine temperature gauge doesn't even show a reading and the factory infinity gold cd radio turns on but no sound. My jeep has a warranty on it right now and these problems have been ongoing since 2/25/06. I've had my jeep to the original dealer where I got it, which has ase certified techs, and also to two authorized jeep dealerships with no resolution to any of these problems and to date have been charged over $450.00 between the three dealerships. I have sent now two e-mails to the chrysler group customer assistance center and the first e-mail I received back brought up two recalls: #747 disc brake rotors #b02 floor shifter secondary system and the second e-mail I got back from chrysler still had no information about the stalling and/or rough idle. This is entirely unacceptable as I have not been able to use the vehicle for quite some time now because of danger to me or others if it would stall while driving, the financial drain and the sheer unreliability. I would like a resolution to this as soon as possible.

The plastic fuel tank of the 1995 jeep grand cherokee was discribed to me as "deteriorating"by the dealership service department today. This deterioration has caused the fuel pump to fail a number of times, with some occuring in traffic. Three fuel pumps have been replaced in the last 12 months before the underlying deterioration of gas tank was discovered. The tank deterioration is causing the fuel pump failures. I have found numerous instances on the world wide web of other jeep owners complaining of the same problem. Many have yet to discover that the fuel tank and not the pump is the root of the problem. If this tank is deteriorating, is it still safe in a rear end collision. Have there been instances of stalled jeeps involved in accidents? Has chrysler acknowledged the problem?

While driving on the highway vehicle would start to buck. Speed played no factor. Then vehicle would die out after trying to exit a ramp. Would have no other warning, except bucking when it would stall out. Had not taken vehicle to dealer to check.

The vehicle has been stalling at any rate of speed, causing the steering and braking to be maual and hard to handle for a 16-year old. Many people have complained about similiar problem with their jeeps with no found reason why, had to trade vehicle in.

Coil of electrical ignition system failed suddenly while vehicle was being operated causing vehicle to stall and loss of power to sterring and brakes this interestingly happened just after the 75,000 warranty expiration. No one was hurt or damage to vehicle. Overdrive to vehicle drive section was operating fine until 75,450 just after warranty expired and during trip fro maine to connecticut it unexpectedly began to put itself into overdrive on and off while vehicle was on cruise control set for 65 miles an hour. It became necessary to take vehicle off cruise control and operate vehicle with overdrive on to avoid sudden acceleration at moments when cruising in traffic going same speed, hazardous potential for accident if closer to vehicles or passing vehicles.
