37 problems related to car stall have been reported for the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On five occasions, at various speeds, vehicle stalled out and died without warning. Dealer has inspected vehicle several times,and has not been able to duplicate or correct problem. . Vehicle failed nine more times and Chrysler agreed to take vehicle back.
I will be stopped at a light or in traffic when all of a sudden the rpm's will become very erratic. The needle will jump up and down from 700 to 200 to 0 etc. The vehicle has stalled on several occasions in the middle of traffic almost causing a rear end collision. The problem only happens when the car is in drive, with foot on the brake. Been to dealership several times. They have connected a Chrysler CO-pilot to monitor and record problem. Have recorded problem several times. Currently waiting for a response. I do know of 3 other people with 1999 Grand Cherokees that have the same problem. Since the vehicle does stall out in the middle of traffic, it does represent a safety issue. Since this obviously is not exclusive to me, Chrysler needs to fix the problem immediately, or take back the vehicle. Again this is a brand new Jeep. For the record, I have had other defects with this vehicle, although minor compared to this one. Defects include rattles, window motor failures etc.
