What owners say
I drive a 1997 jeep laredo it back fires and stalls going down the highway with no warning. It has stalled at a stop lights. And help up traffic have replaced sensors and now going to try changing fuel pump. Air bag light comes on and off how safe is that came close to being rear ended by a semi with my grand kids in vehicle because of it cutting out and loosing power at 55mph these jeeps are death traps and should be recalled before someone is killed and then its to late what is it going to take and how many complaints do you need to fix the problem.
Stalling out issue. Went from intermittent to frequent. Stalls out while driving and while coming to a stop or leaving a stop. Have replaced 3 PCM's, 1/2 wiring harness, too many sensors to count, fuel pump, etc. Have spent thousands & the mechanic cannot figure it out. No codes either. Temperature & speed do not matter it just constantly stalls. Thousands of people have this same problem. When the vehicle stalls sometimes it will restart other times it will not. There is no lights, sounds, nothing when it stalls. It just cuts out. No steering either! Also the problem with the transmission which I have replaced once and need to again, and the fuse box in the engine has issues, and the differential I have replaced too. My mechanic has spent 6 years trying to fix this problem. He even had the dealership reprogram the computer to no avail. Chrysler will not even address the issue. He even sent my truck to another garage for evaluation. It stalled on them too however they could not find the cause either. This is so dangerous and I cannot afford another vehicle. Please help and investigate. They're too many of us with this problem.
My 2003 jeep grand cherokee laredo started experiencing starting problems. I would get in the car and try to start it and it would be dead. This doesn't happen first thing in the morning. I can drive the car 5 miles, get out for 5 minutes, and when I start it again, it's dead. Usually I have to wait about 10 minutes. If I try to start it while I'm waiting, the gauges all go crazy, the radio goes to 12:00, and it won't start. Sometimes it cranks but doesn't turn over. When it does turn over, I have to keep my foot on the gas or else it dies on me. Sometimes happens while I'm driving also, the gauges go crazy and the car wants to die on me. So far I have had the battery terminals changed, the powertrain control module, the crankshaft position sensor, and the fuel pump. But it still does the same thing. It happens on a hit or miss basis. It could happen 2 days in a row, or it may not happen for 2 weeks. All I know is I have to cross my fingers while I try to start it, and while I drive it.
1. Repeated failures of fuel pump. 2. Repeated failure of front disk brake rotors. 3. Repeated failure of transfer case. 4. Repeated failure of electric door locks.
Stalling at and while approaching traffic lights. Replaced spark plugs, fuel pump, fuel filter, and cleaned injectors to no avail. During 25 mile commute it happens at least twice.
