2007 jeep grand cherokee with 3.0 crd diesel engine. While driving the car began to run rough for just a few seconds and then abruptly stalled and would not restart. This resulted in the loss of power steering and power brakes while driving. I was on an incline (with a trailer in tow) at the time and was unable to move the vehicle until being towed. This presents a very dangerous driving hazard to the driver and the passengers in the jeep and to any other vehicles nearby. The car was towed to the dealer and today (8/15/2011) I was told this is a faulty crankshaft position sensor. I do know of other 3.0 crd jeeps that this has happened to while driving. I have also read that other cars and trucks equipped with the 3.0 crd diesel engine have experienced the crankshaft sensor failure. It occurs without warning and at any speed.
2007 jeep grand cherokee (5.7 hemi) with 50,000 miles frequently stalls both in motion and while stopped. Stalling causes all electronics to shutoff, which results in loss of power steering and brakes. Numerous times, I have almost been hit because the vehicle will nearly stop in the middle of the road. The vehicle has been taken to a jeep dealership four times for the stalling issue, which has not been resolved. The dealer claims they cannot replicate the issue. This random stalling is a severe safety hazard that endangers both me, my passengers, and people driving around me. There are thousands of posts on the web referring to the same stalling issue with the jeep grand cherokees (wk) and the jeep commanders (xk). Does someone have to be killed before anyone takes action?

Whilst driving my jeep grand cherokee (equipped with the mercedes benz common rail diesel (crd) 3.0 l engine) on I-410 at highway speed, the engine suddenly stopped, without any warning. This also made the power brakes and power steering inoperative. Today, the dealer tells me that this is caused by a faulty crankshaft position indicator sensor and is a fairly common occurrence. I should think this is a design flaw and should be corrected by the mfg.

1. My 2007 jeep grand cherokee (5.7 hemi; 64k miles) was due for a tune up. I purchased replacement spark plugs that were recommended from a local auto parts retailer and changed them. 2. Subsequently the vehicle began to stall frequently while driving (approx 5 times in 25 miles traveled). This happened while driving at highway speeds, at stoplights and when making left hand turns. 3. Vehicle was taken to dealer for service as engine light had also been on during entire time. Dealer worked on trying to find problem for 3 weeks. After consulting a chrysler engineer they finally discovered that the aftermarket platinum tip spark plugs were causing interference with the vehicle powertrain control module and causing the engine to stall. Dealer replaced the spark plugs and the problem was corrected. I went back to my parts supplier and they had never heard of this problem before. I also notified chrysler of my complaint that consumers and parts supply retailers should be made aware of this parts incompatibility issue that they are obviously aware of because it is a potentially serious safety hazard. They have not responded to me.

I purchased a 2007 used jeep grand cherokee from kelly jeep on 3/11/2010, with an odometer reading of 24,758 miles. This vehicle has stalled randomly seven (7) times since the date of purchase. It has been returned to the dealer's service department three times and each time they have not been able to duplicate the cause of the stalling. The stalling occurs after a stop and then attempts to proceed into a turn at low speed. It occurs more frequently when a right turn is being made. The engine stops and all electric energy are lost, just as though the ignition was turned off. Braking assist and power steering are lost. I have provided the dealer a document listing and observation of each of the seven events. Several have places me in a comprising position and if traffic had been heavy could have resulted in a serious accident. The vehicle always is able to restart after it stopped, the ignition turned off and placed in park.
