Purchased new 2004 Jeep from dealer. Within the first month of ownership, I began experiencing occasional, intermittent engine problems at start-up-- the engine would run very rough, shaking the vehicle. The service light in the dash would flash. If driven, the engine would stall unless the accelerator was continually pressed. After a few of these events, we discovered that, if turned off, after about 5 minutes, the engine would run normally. The service light would remain on for a few minutes (sometimes a half hour) and then turn off. This problem re-occurred intermittently, sometimes every month, & sometimes every couple months, usually in the morning at first startup, but sometimes when I left work in the evening to drive home. My salesman and the service manager knew of the problem. Jeep dealer later said that the vehicle was simply in need of a complete tune-up. They did the tune up 6 months ago - may 2006. The problem has recurred again. I took the Jeep in again. Dealer reports that car is "running rough" but they can not find the problem.

Car/engine idles rough and shakes heavily at times at lights - this is a problem that Chrysler doesn?t seem to care about. Gas mpg has also been poor. I see that I am the fifth complaint in the database that I could find. . . The engine stalls after coming from highway speeds. Idle goes from 600 rpm and then suddenly drops below 400-300 rpm and then stalls completely. Must be put in park - and then restarted, regardless of where it occurs - this is a serious safety issue that has been overlooked too many times. Once they said they fixed it, by cleaning the throttle body - the next time they gave me the "can't duplicate concern" - the last time they told me they reprogrammed the computer. It has nothing to do with the a/c, radio, electrical (lighting), and defrost since it has happened many times when all of these are off. The dealers keep playing games and will not rectify this issue.

While idling at a stop light the front end begin to shake violently then the engine would stall.

Purchased 3/04, in for service 5/04 x2 at 1st dealership for rough idle in park and in gear at stop. Diagnostics indicate no problem, rec calling Chrysler cust service, referred to 2nd dealership, same complaint, diagnostics indicate no problem. Was told "that is how that engine runs" engine feels as if it will stall out at stop or park. Chrysler offering no help at this time other than referral to district manager which will not be in until end of month. (June) appears that there have been many complaints logged about this, yet Chrysler/Jeep unwilling to fix problem. Vehicle also pulls to right, was told "that's how it is", also less than Ave gas milage.

Consumer unaware whether her Jeep Grand Cherokee is part of the recall. The consumer heard through a media announcement that the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee was being recalled due to engine stalling.
