While driving manifold gasket overheated, and brakes pulsated.
Gears break on camshaft position sensor while driving.car comes to a complete stop with no warning.
I was driving at about 40-45mph, and suddenly the steering got incredibly stiff. The vehicle had stalled. I managed to pull off to the side of the road and tried to turn it back on. It cranked, but wouldn't turn over. I called jeep, and had it towed back to the dealership. They told us it was the gear on the cam speed sensor. The mechanic showed us what he said was the cam sensor. Several of the teeth on the gear were shorn off. We asked to keep the bad part, and they said that was not allowed. I'm afraid the same thing will happen while I am driving on the highway.
Timing belt wore out and tensioner has disengaged. Dealer has been contacted. Please give any further details.
Front rotors have been replaced 3 times/ were resurfaced once, and rear rotors were replaced once due to vibration in vehicle.*ak consumer stated that the pcv valve failed, fuel filter failed, and front shocks leaking fluid and replaced front shocks, also the transmission pan was leaking fluid, wiper blades were replaced.
While driving at highway speeds vehicle will completely shutdown without warning, cause unknown. Dealer replaced a sensor which did not correct the problem. Please give any further details.
Vehicle stalls. Also, brakes and rotors are defective.
This jeep has numerous problems and has been to the dealership for service 4 time and they have failed to repair even 1 of our complaints. All complaints other than the pull to the right have been dismissed with the explanation of can not duplicate. They have tried to repair the pull to the right but it only got worse. We were told by a repair tech. That it needed a new part to correct the pulling to the right but chrysler has failed to install this needed part. We have requested a repurchase of the jeep under the lemon law but chrysler denied our request stating that the pull to the right is due to "road crown" and if you hold the steering wheel with a strong to medium grip you don't notice the pull to the right! We have this in writing from the arbitrator that chrysler hired. The dealership and chrysler attempted to conceal some service repair forms that had the loose rear hatch problem and the pull to the right. Chrysler stated in letters to the attorney general that we had never brought the rear hatch alarm to the attention of the dealership which was disproved at arbitration but we still never received a copy of the repair sheet even though the dealership has it and provided a copy to the arbitrator. We have parked this jeep due to the increasing severity of problems. We think this jeep is dangerous due to it's numerous defects. We refuse to let anyone ride in the back for months due to the rear hatch (which the district manager for chrysler found was loose at the arbitration hearing by pushing on the bumper and hatch.
Vehicle stalls when stopped with brakes applied, chrysler says this is not a safety problem and does not affect performance of the vehicle.
The vehicle has stalled 4 times while driving, on one occasion an injury was sustained to the driver who pushed the vehicle out of the dangerous position it was in.
Vehicle was completely shut down by computer while travelling 60mph on freeway, resulting in several near collisions at high speed -- a cam sensor failure, according to the dealer.
Engine stalled while driving resulting in complete loss of power which locked up the brakes and steering.
Consumer was traveling about 55mph on highway and vehicle just shut off. No brakes or steering. Also, all electrical power was gone.
Fuel was leaking from tail pipe, and fumes entered the passenger's compartment. Dealer replaced fuel injector and power control module. *ak
Chrysler does not want to take responsibilty for problem or admit that there is a problem. No safety defect.
Ongoing problem with engine stalling while traveling at any given speed. Vehicle been in / out of dealer's shop on three occasions, and problem is reoccurring.
Vehicle experiencingproblem with lack of acceleration and stalling( 4.7 v8 engine). Vehicle would not accelerate more then 20 MPH. Vehicle been in /out of dealer shop on three occasions, and problem still goes unresolved.
While driving, engine stops and locks the steering wheel resulting no control on the jeep.
This automobile shuts off the engine while driving. There are no mechanical indicators of the problem. This is the 3rd time that the car has simply shut off while driving. This is a very dangerous occurrence.
Engine difficult to start when hot. When engine is hot and you let sit for a short period of time and trying to restart, it turns over but acts as starved of fuel. Now turn the key off and try to restart, it will start but sometimes chokes down then shutters up to recommended idle speed.
