The vehicle sometimes doesn't start and sometimes it starts just fine. Sometimes when you put it in drive it will die and sometimes it will run just fine. Sometimes it has a rough idle and will stall and die when driving down the road. And then when you start it back up again it will run just fine and then will stall and die again. We have taken it to the dealership and they replaced the coil pack and it is still doing the same thing. We have checked all of the grounds and there are no codes being displayed.

After doing wuite alot of research I have found that the 2004 jeep grand cheerokees have a known stalling problem that cannot be explained. These vehicles stall without warning causing the power steering and power brakes to fail. Creating a huge safety issue for anyone in the immediate area. Every complaint I have seen states that the owners have sunk lots of money and replaced several parts only to have the problem return time and time again. Why has this stalling issue never been addressed, and jeep held accountable for the repairs? I have found hundreds of complains all over the internet describing this same stalling hazard.

My 2004 has recently intermittently has been shutting down while driving. I have called jeep and asked for help with diagnosing what is wrong and they refused. I have had it checked several times by my own mechanic and after numerous repairs the problem is still happening. There is no warning, sound, or rhyme or reason when it happens and it happens in traffic. It is a very dangerous deffect, whatever, it is and since noone at jeep seems to want to help I am filing a complaint for others who may have this same type of vehicle to beware. There was a recall on this year vehicle in 2004 brand new when the car came out on the crankshaft sensor which does cause intermittent stalling but again jeep would not assist me to diagnose if this is the problem. It always happen while moving in traffic again without any warning. It is not so much that it stalls - the vehicle literally shuts down. Almost like its a safety issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
