ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE STALLS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S AS IF I JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN IT STALLS, I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF. IT'S BECOMING A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR WILL STAY AT 40 MPH AS IF LOCKED INTO THAT SPEED. I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF, WHEN RESTARTED IT WORKS FINE FOR A WHILE. THEN RANDOMLY IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH FOR THE PAST YEAR. ON LINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED JEEP BUT THEY SAID CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO TOUGH LUCK. I HAVE OWNED 23 CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THIS TO ME. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON RURAL STREETS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES NOW, AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING SHOWING BUT AN EMISSIONS CODE. I'M TOLD IT IS THE GAS CAP TO REPLACE IT. MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2007 LAREDO ABOUT 149,000 MILES ON IT. NORMALLY, IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. I GET OIL CHANGES LIKE CLOCKWORK, AND EVERY TIME IT'S SUGGESTED TO FIX SOMETHING, I DO IT. IT STALLS VERY FREQUENTLY AT STOP SIGNS / STOP LIGHTS, AND I NEED TO LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM BETWEEN ME AND OTHER CARS SO I CAN STEADILY INCH FORWARD WHILE WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT, OTHERWISE IT WILL DIE. IT STARTS UP FINE, BUT STOPPING AGAIN AND IT WILL DIE AGAIN. IT'S TO THE POINT NOW THAT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE. STALLS / DIES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE A/C IS ON MECHANIC SAYS THEY'VE RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND THE ONLY THING IT SHOWS IS THE EMISSIONS CODE. I'M TOLD YET AGAIN TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT IDLES ROUGH AND HAS DONE ALL OF THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2016.

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ENGINE DIED GOING 70MPH ON THE HWY WITH OUT ANY NOTICE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AS STEERING LOCKED UP, ONCE ON SIDE OF ROAD, I PUT IT INTO 'PARK' AND 'RESTARTED THE ENGINE'. IT WORKED JUST FINE FROM THEN ON, TILL ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND TURNING RIGHT, I BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET THRU THE LIGHT AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS THE STEERING HAD AGAIN LOCKED UP. THIS IS VERY SCARY! EVERYTHING IN THE CAR TURNS 'OFF', I DONT EVEN THINK THE FLASHERS WORKED DURING THESE TIMES. ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND AFTER PUTTING INTO 'PARK', EVERYTHING STARTS BACK UP NORMALLY, AND DRIVES FINE. THERE IS NOT ANY OTHER SIGNS OF ANYTHING WRONG, NO DASH LIGHT WARNINGS OR ANYTHING.
