One problem related to engine stall has been reported for the 1997 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine stalls when fuel level is 1/2 to 1/4 full, especially so when making turns. There are dozens and dozens of other Jeep Cherokee owners whom I have spoke to that also have this problem. Just visit any of the Jeep owners internet message boards such as Jeepforum. Com, Jeepsunlimited. Com, or Jeepin. Com and do a search. You will find a suprizing number of results.
