While driving on a freeway the car stalled and had difficulty controlling the car to the road shoulder. The car was restarted after stopping for few minutes. The car dealership could not identified failure code. This happened again is august 2013 and most recently on september 19, 2013. The last time the car would not start and it was towed to the dealership. I am waiting for their diagnoses.
2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee electrical complaints

I was driving on the garden state parkway north traveling approximately 65mph (the speed limit) and I was in the left lane of the three lane local lanes. I drifted too far to the left and hit the rumble strips on the side of the road. Immediately, my TPMS light came on and I pulled over right away. Apparently, my TPMS sensor on the tire broke and was letting air out of my tire. What happened was, the metal screw that is around the metal valve stem sheered off and nothing was holding the valve stem/TPMS in place except for the air pressure inside the tire. When I ran over the rumble strip, it must have dislodged the sensor and started letting air out of my tire. I went to a tire shop and they found a broken TPMS sensor and they replaced the valve stem with a standard non-TPMS valve stem. My tire was undamaged and is back on the rim, so it was 100% a problem with the TPMS sensor. Furthermore, last year, I had a similar problem. I got a flat tire and my TPMS was damaged. Now, looking back, I feel that the TPMS must have failed causing my flat tire. In that incident, my tire was destroyed because of the flat. I notice now that chrysler has a newer version of their TPMS sensors that go on the wheel. The new version has a rubber valve stem, while the ones on my vehicle have a metal valve stem. Obviously, chrysler has found an issue with the metal ones and have updates their parts. I think that this is a serious issue and even though I am ok, I can forsee this causing major problems. Chrysler should have my remaining TPMS sensors replace at no cost to me.

Jeep cherokees stall while being driven....they cut off without any warning...the reason they cut off while in motion is due a wiring harness design flaw, but jeep is keeping this matter a secret and they deny they have a problem throughout the country...someone or some agency needs to investigate this matter in order to see how serious and widespread this problem is, surf the internet auto sites regarding all the jeep cherokees that stall out while being driven. I do not want to see on the news that a driver was killed when his or her cherokee stalled causing a massive wreck and deaths....that is why I am reporting this matter.

Most of the time the horn will not sound. You have to pound on it many many times for it to sound. By that time the emergency is past. Jeep has said it is the same on all 2009 jeeps. *tr the consumer stated the vehicle would shut off, after it was started. The ignition switch was replaced. Updated 04/08/15
