MY 2007 JEEP G.CHEROKEE CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 55 MPH AND THEN DECIDED TO DIE. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND CANNOT INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TIMES WHILE HAVING MY SON THE BACK SEAT AND TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIES. ALSO DOESN'T START SOME DAYS SOME WILL. DEFIANTLY HAVE ELECTRICAL PROVEN LIKE IN THE RECALL. THEIR IS A FUEL RELAY RECALL THERE IS A MANY RECALLS FOR THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO MY JEEP AND IT'S BECOMING A HAZARD AND SCARY FOR ME TRAVELING WITH MY SON.

RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR YEARS REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT CHRYSLER NEVER HAS THE PART. FURTHER, THIS CAR HAS NUMEROUS REPORTS OF BRAKING ISSUES THAT ARE SPORADIC AND IT CAUSED ME TO REAR-END A VEHICLE ON NOV. 2, LUCKILY AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD AND IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE AGAIN WHEN I PRESSED IT AGAIN MOMENTS LATER. MECHANIC COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT THAT IS TYPICAL FOR CHRYSLER IT SEEMS.

VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING FRONT END OF JEEP TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VECHICLE APPOX. SPEED AT TIME OF IMPACT 60 MPH AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. SEE ALSO 11143877. *DSY

UNCERTAIN BUT THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE MAKING CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VECHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. SEE ALSO 11143883. *DSY *DT *JB

THE FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD IS LABELED INCORRECTLY AND ON THE COVER STATES SPARE FUSES IN CAVITY 29 AND 30. HOWEVER, IT IS ACCTUALLY THE AIRBAGS WHICH IS WHY IT IS IN A YELLOW SAFETY HOLDER AND ALSO THE ORIGINAL MANUAL THAT COMES WITH THE JEEP STATES THAT IT IS THE AIRBAG. HOWEVER DIRECTLY ON THE BOX UNDER THE HOOD IT SAYS CAVITY 29 AND 30 ARE SPARES WHICH ARE CAUSING PEOPLE TO PULL THEM OUT AND USE THEM AS SPARES ELSEWHERE UNAWARE THAT THEY ARE IN DANGER

INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUE. INITIALLY THE VEHICLE STARTS AND RUNS FINE. AFTER STOPPING OR EXTENDED DRIVING DURATION THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOM START STALLING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND DINGS. THIS WILL LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES THE ENTIRE TRIP. THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WE WERE NEARLY REAR ENDED AND PULLED OVER UNTIL IT WAS SOMEWHAT DRIVE ABLE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT AT THIS TIME FOR FEAR IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAS RECENTLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED BUT NOTHING HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE DESCRIBED ISSUE. WITH THE USE OF A SCOPE AND CODE REVIEW, MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN TO REPLACING SMALLER, SIMPLE PARTS IN HOPES OF A SIMPLE SOLUTION....SPARK PLUGS, 02 SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. NOTHING HAS HELPED. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SEEING ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE TO START AN INVESTIGATION OR RECALL? IT'S A SHAME AN ACCIDENT IT WHAT IT MAY TAKE TO ATTRACT ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE.
