1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE STALLED ,BACKFIRED, SHOWS THAT I HAVE MORE GAS IN VEHICLE THAN I HAVE. GETTING HARDER TO RESTART. STALLS IN TRAFFIC. WHY HAVEN'T THE GOVERNMENT RECALL THESE VEHICLES.I READ SO MANY OF SAME COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY VEHICLE TOLLED TO ARMORY GARAGE, BECAUSE AT THAT TIME, INSURANCE HAD TO KEEP SENDING SOMEONE TO COME AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. OR IT WILL START BUT THEN TURN AROUND AND STALL LATER. AFTER PAYING $1300 PLUS TO ARMORY GARAGE, THEY ONLY CHARGED ME FOR DIAGNOSIS AND FIXING PROBLEMS WITH A BATTERY BEING OVERDRAWN. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE REPLACED THE BCM COMPUTER. HOWEVER, AFTER PAYING ALL THAT MONEY I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE REPLACED, STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, COMPUTER MODULE WITH ARMORY GARAGE, IGNITION COIL FIXED. ALL I KEEP GETTING IS THAT THE EMISSIONS IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT STATES BIG AND SMALL LEAK. HOWEVER, EVEN TODAY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HAVE SPENT CLOSED TO OVER $3500 ON MY VEHICLE TO GET IT RUNNING AND IT STILL STALLS AFTER ALL THE ABOVE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. P0442, P0455, P0351, ARE THE LAST CODES TO THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, AN EVAP PURSE SOLENOID HAS BEEN FIXED AS WELL. ALL THIS MONEY AND STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AND RUNNING BUT TURNS OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. *TR

ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO MY BACK RIGHT WHEEL ACTUALLY FELL OFF COMING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 35MPH. AFTER I LOOKED - ONE OF THE STUDS WHERE THE LUGS GO ON ACTUALLY BROKE AND THE OTHER STUDS WERE STRIPPED WHICH CAUSED THE LUGS TO FALL OFF. ALL STUDS REPLACED AFTER THAT.LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE BY MY MECHANIC THIS MORNING WHEN IT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AGAIN - THE BACK RIGHT WHEEL. THERE WAS A STUD THAT WAS BROKEN AND THE REST OF THE LUGS WERE VERY LOOSE. *TR
