Daughter has driven vehicle multiple times and car has constantly turned off in the middle of traffic on the highway and neighborhood streets. After multiple times, the vehicle was towed into the chrysler dealership on june 7th with concerns that the vehicle was stalling and engine turning off. Upon the inspection of the vehicle on june 11th your service technician stated that the vehicle would need its brakes & rotors replaced in addition to the vehicle needing a new engine coil to repair the constant problem of the vehicle cutting off. Paid for the ignition coil repair, vehicle still turned off. Paid for new fuel pump vehicle still turned off. Not dealership is proclaiming PCM board needs o be replaced. I hope that jeep considers the danger that my child was place because of engine failure for my 97 cherokee.

Jeep first stalled while traveling through town, then progressed to stalling/shutting down while traveling at any speed, slowing down for a traffic light, or stopping at a traffic light or stop sign. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it chooses to go erratic. Instrument panel lights blink off and on, sometimes remaining off for several minutes. I have replaced all the sensors on the vehicle, fuel pump, alternator, etc. Before replacing the fuel pump I took it to the local jeep dealership where I was eventual told, on my third visit that it was a problem with the wiring harness and that the wiring harness could not be replaced as they were no longer available. The problem is becoming a daily problem now, along with the skipping, missing, completely stalling, it back fires. I have replaced a total of 3 mufflers with the muffler shop refusing to replace another until I have the underlying problem fixed.

1998 jeep grand cherokee, 2wd, 4.0 liter inline 6, automatic transmission. User has replaced many engine electrical and ignition parts, as well as fuel pump assembly, some relays, and the jeep continues to stall in traffic, when turning corners, when backing up, has intermittent stalling when driving, and is posting various computer codes. I have already spent $700 on diagnostic and parts replacement, yet the problem persists. When driving the engine periodically cuts out and RPM's drop to zero. If this happens in heavy traffic or during an evasive maneuver someone could be killed. This is an ongoing and dangerous problem that my mechanic can not fix, and based on my research on the internet it is a widespread and perplexing design-related problem with this era jeep cherokees and grands.

Sole owner of 1998 jeep grand cherokee 2wd with less than 39,000 to date. Vehicle has been treated with care and it has received regular maintenance service from local jeep dealerships, excluding a few oil changes. Rear carrier, pinion and axle bearings replaced at 32,339 miles (07-08-03) due to significant whining noise in rear of vehicle, within a month after driving from california to north carolina. Noise returns in september 2004. At 38,620 miles on 09-28-04, same local dealership advises that bearings are bad again and has offered goodwill warranty repair. Although dealership is paying for 2nd repair, I am concerned because the vehicle needed a bearing job after so few miles and then needs another 6,000 miles later. I'm concerned that there is something more serious wrong with the driveline, which is causing the bearing problem, and could result in a serious failure. The vehicle received a routine service of the rear differential at the local dealership in california on 01-18-02 at 24,643 miles. Could this have started the problem? The vehicle has had other repairs (A/C condenser coil, power seat assembly, starter, fuel pump, brake master cylinder, ), some which seem somewhat unreasonable, but this one seems extremely unreasonable.
