The vehicle was traveling at approximately 40 MPH on a traditional two lane country road. As I approached a left handed turn, I pressed the break pedal and instantaneously lost power steering and power breaks. The vehicle became difficult to control and drove off the road into a small grass field. After coming to a stop, I looked at the dash and realized the tachometer showed 0 RPM indicating the engine had stalled. At first, I was unable to restart the vehicle because the shifter was still in drive. The vehicle restarted with no hesitation once the shifter was moved to park. The p54 recall has previously been completed. Fca has been informed and the vehicle was inspected by a jeep dealer. The recall for v62 is still in development and the vehicle has since received the temporary interim repair. I have decided to park the vehicle until fca can reassure the vehicle is safe to drive.

On several occasions, my jeep grand cherokee ltd, has started to stall out when I am accelerating forward. It was in motion when this happened, and has shown a zigzag icon, on my screen,( which I am not sure of the meaning of that icon). But I do know if feels as though it is a fuel failure, problem. This has been on city streets, and when coming out of a turn on acceleration. It almost has come to a stall, on all occasions. This has happened without notice, on at least, half a dozen times. It is scary as I sometimes need to have more power, than I am getting when it stalls. It has enough hesitation, to cause me to be in danger at times. I am trying to get an appt at jim smolich motors, in bend oregon, to have it checked out, but I did notice a recall notice, that is dealing with this issue, and that is what I believe this is. Please reply and set up an appt. With the above jeep dealer if you can. Thank you. [xxx], bend oregon. Ph [xxx].

While driving at a constant speed on the highway, the engine stalled causing the brakes and power steering to be disabled. The first time it happened, 11/12/16, I was taking an exit off of the freeway. When I pressed the brake to slow down for the approaching red light, the pedal was stiff and would bot slow the vehicle. Thankfully, the light turned green so I let the vehicle coast. As I went to turn right, I realized there was no power steering either. After crossing over 2 lanes I was able to bring the car to a stop on the side of the road. That's when I realized the engine had stalled. Brought it to the dealership, paid $700 for something, then drove it back since they said it was fixed. Five months later, 4/20/17, same exact thing happened. It was 8:30am and I was bringing my 18mo old to daycare when I pressed the brake pedal to stop at a red light ahead and realize it was stiff and not working again. Fortunately, again, the light turned green and the car in front of me accelerated. I fought with the steering wheel to turn into a nearby gas station after the letting vehicle coast to a slower speed. After both incidences, I turned the vehicle off, waited a few minutes, then turned it back on. It hesitated a few times then cranked and functioned properly afterwards. Furthermore, during both incidences I was very slightly turning to the right; the first time to exit the hwy and the second time I was veering into the right lane. During the first incident, I was travelling on the freeway around 65mph. During the second, I was traveling at about 50mph.
