UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2004 HAS RECENTLY INTERMITTENTLY HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND ASKED FOR HELP WITH DIAGNOSING WHAT IS WRONG AND THEY REFUSED. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES BY MY OWN MECHANIC AND AFTER NUMEROUS REPAIRS THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. THERE IS NO WARNING, SOUND, OR RHYME OR REASON WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFFECT, WHATEVER, IT IS AND SINCE NOONE AT JEEP SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP I AM FILING A COMPLAINT FOR OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE TO BEWARE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE IN 2004 BRAND NEW WHEN THE CAR CAME OUT ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH DOES CAUSE INTERMITTENT STALLING BUT AGAIN JEEP WOULD NOT ASSIST ME TO DIAGNOSE IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM. IT ALWAYS HAPPEN WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC AGAIN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT IS NOT SO MUCH THAT IT STALLS - THE VEHICLE LITERALLY SHUTS DOWN. ALMOST LIKE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
