Vehicle stalls and cut off at any speed. Sometimes it cranks back up ,other times immobile have to wait 20-30 mins to restart. Backfires. Blown out 2 mufflers. Spent hundreds of dollars on needless parts. Sensors, spark plugs,rotary cap etc. Still stalls,cut off in middle of traffic.inside lights will not work.had to remove fuse,lights remain on all the time. Very unsafe to me and my family. Never know when it will run or stop.stalling will cause serious rear end collision and maybe cause fire.with so many complaints,I am shocked there is no recall.these jeeps are unreliable,unsafe,embarrassing and oneday will cause serious accident .ABS light on,engine light never goes out.I have spent most of days at the mechanic.jeep dealership will not intervene to resolve issue.

I have a 2006 jeep laredo 3.6l with 54,000 miles on it. Since may of 2012 it has been nothing but a huge problem. I have contacted jeep customer care and had a casenumber with them to get the issues resolved, needless to say they fixed half of the issues and then closed the case when the dealership that was working on it was unable to diagnose the other issues. The jeep will lunge, jerk, and get stuck in 2nd gear at 1.5rphs until you press the gas really hard and it slips gears. For the past 4 months on and off the jeep has been having electrical problems for example today while leaving work I was going around 30 MPH and turned my heat on then all the lights on the dashboard came on (check engine, oil,) all those my gas gage went from full to empty my headlights went off and I lost power steering and ABS brakes. Never the less it was dark outside so im a sitting duck to other cars who can not see me. Then about 10 seconds later the jeep is back to normal and is running fine. It has even done this when I just honk my horn or turn on my radio. I have contacted jeep many of times regarding this issue and their response is we don't know what it is! So they want me to pay up to 1,000.00 in diagnostic costs (dealership said) because they are going to have to search everything on the jeep to see what the problem is because it could be anything. And jeeps response was they are not saying that they will cover it or not. I have a extended warranty on the jeep that I bought that is good for another 50,000 miles. These issues should be required to be fixed and paid for by jeep because it is a huge safety problem. What happens if this issues happens again with my small child in the car at night and I get hit by another car because they can not see me? Will jeep pay then?

Bendix anti-lock brake system failure. *on six (6) different occasions the brakes have locked up while driving. I press the brake and it doesn't move (hard brake/no brakes) in the following list this occurrence will be stated as *ABS malfunction. This has resulted in one accident and several close calls. May 2004: *ABS malfunction, brake fluid added $89.00. Oct 2004: accident and resulting damage, body work $2704.00 dec. 2004: *ABS malfunction (repair following accident), low fluid drb test accumulator and pressure tests all pass. New front/back brake pads/shoes, brake fluid. $476.34 feb. 2005: *ABS malfunction, ABS pump shorted, replace ABS pump, brake fluid, replace battery. $229.12 aug. 2006: *ABS malfunction, replace faulty ABS pump relay, low accumulator voltage.$312.24 oct. 2007: * ABS malfunction (while going 70mph on a freeway, luckily no resulting accident) high pressure brake line leaking hose -ABS high pressure, brake fluid added. $528.83. July 2008: *ABS malfunction, ABS pump would not turn off, even after the jeep was turned off, the battery was drained of power and I finally disconnected the battery. Brake fluid overflowed (cost and diagnostic yet to be determined). ****everytime this happens there is a $90 to $100 fee just to have a dealer look at it. I'm fortunate I haven't injured or caused the death of anyone else. I have injured myself during the accident in 2004, but I didn't have health insurance so I didn't go to a hospital. This jeep is a lemon, and if I could afford another car I would. The only repair covered by the recall was in feb. 2005 when the actual ABS pump was replaced for no charge. There are always additional charges though for parts that are not included in the recall. Something has to be done about this before someone is killed.

I've taken in the car in and nobody seems to find a problem last time I took it in for that problem the mechanic had 3 other car same as mine with the same problem. I'm afraid to be on the freeway at high speed due to not knowing if I will be able to brake on time.
