2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT AND MY VEHICLE DIED ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS CROSSING JUST AT THAT MOMENT THERE WAS A TRAIN APPROACHING AND I FREAKED OUT BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THERE CONTINUED TO BE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN BUT AS I NEED TO GO TO WORK I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP DRIVING IT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR TRIM BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN AWAY. WITHOUT THE TRIM THE DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT REMAIN IN THE CORRECT POSITION. DOOR HANDLE HAS TO BE SET BACK INTO PROPER POSITION BEFORE DOOR CAN BE OPENED. THIS IS CONCERNING WHEN I CONSIDER EXITING THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. ALSO THE HANDLE/TRIM CONDITION IS DETERIORATING AND IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE HANDLE FAILS COMPLETELY. *TR

I INITIALLY PURCHASED THIS JEEP AT 45,000 MILES. IT NOW HAS 98,000 MILES. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THIS TIME SPAN. THE FIRST FEW TIMES I THOUGHT IT MAY BE JUST A COINCIDENCE BUT NOW IT IS STARTING TO SCARE ME THAT THERE COULD BE AN ISSUE. BECAUSE IT CAN NOT BE REPLICATED AT THE MECHANIC,S NO ONE CAN PINPOINT WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. THE JEEP WILL JUST DIE SPONTANEOUSLY. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT IS COMING. LUCKILY I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOING SLOW THROUGH A PARKING LOT WITH NO OTHER CARS IN MY WAY. I AM ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO A STOP AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS PAST WEEK I BECAME MORE NERVOUS HOWEVER AS IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A MAJOR STREET ON TO A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE RESIDENTIAL ROAD WHILE TURNING HOWEVER, IF THERE HAD BEEN CARS ON THE STREET I WAS MAKING THE LEFT TOO OR I HAD NOT GIVEN MORE TIME FOR THE CARS COMING AT ME DURING THE TURN THIS COULD HAVE EQUALED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I AM SEEING THROUGH MY RESEARCH THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS. *TR

JEEP QUIT GOING AND MOTOR QUIT......CHECKED AND FOUND KEY TURNED OFF....RESTARTED AND ONLY ONE PROBLEM SINCE THEN........CALLED NEW DEALER IN TOWN AND THEY SAID BRING IT BY AND THEY WOULD "CHECK IT OUT" BUT DIDN'T SEEM VERY INTERESTED????? *TR
