general problems of the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

My vehicle will stop running while I am driving, the car will begin to shake uncontrollably and then it will completely die. This cause me to try to turn the car over several times till I get it started again and the vehicle will loss power, hesitate when I give it gas. This vehicle is not safe. Especially when I drive on the highway and it begins to shake and will completely shut down. I am afraid for my life, and my daughters.

This Jeep gran cherokee laredo stalls at any speed and suddenly the engine stops and can even send a strong backfire able to crack the mufller. It works perfectly for a period of time and without any symptom it struggles and stalls. Sometimes it remains on and sometimes die. It broke me 3 mufflers. A lot of money and work have been done by mechanics including Jeep dealer without fixing the problem. Pcm and a lot of parts had been replaced and the problem was solved only in part.
