3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2020

My Jeep has stalled at least 5 times with the power steering failing. 1) once while at an intersection turning left on a green arrow no steering. 2) traveling about 45 mph and stalled again and no steering. 3) twice going from 55 mph up to a stop sign and the car stalled again no steering. 4) just last Friday, I was driving 55 mph and slowing to make a left turn and again stalled and no power steering. This is getting serious and happens unexpectedly which makes driving dangerous. The stalling is happening more frequently now. I've contacted Jeep and they say a recall has been issued but no fix has taken place and is to be determined with no idea when. The recall was issued late last year. So how long does it take to fix a relay issue? this has gone on far to long and getting scary. Please help me and get some kind of answer from Jeep. Sincerely, terry farber.

While driving and deceleration the Jeep shuts off. No lights come on indicating that the vehicle is no longer running. The first clue is loss of power steering and brakes. This always happens within the first couple miles of driving. The Jeep starts right back up and then 99% of the time won't stall again for a couple days. This is getting more frequent.

18 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2019

I have a 5. 7 hemi in my Jeep. The vehicle stalls when slowing down, and making a right hand turn off of a highway. This has happened 8 times in the 2 years that I have owned the car. It happened once when I was slowing down for a speed zone on a straight road. The vehicle gives no warning that it is going to shut down. Our local Jeep dealer did some diagnostics, but found nothing. From what I have read it seems to happen to the 5. 7 engines. I don't like driving the car with anyone in it for fear of getting rear ended if it stalls, and people are behind me.

19 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2018

Ticking from left cylinder head and minor tick from right cylinder head. Chrysler admits to having a manufacturer defect in vehicle and extended the warranty on the left cylinder head. If there is a compression issue and the vehicle stalls in the roadway could be a fatal mistake. This needs to be fixed in all vehicles included with the right cylinder head. Or recall the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue.

20 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2018

Purchased vehicle 12-15-18. Since then, the vehicle has stalled intermittently (3 times in 2 weeks) at stops without any lights appearing on instrument panel. The first time, I wasn't even aware the engine cut out until I pressed on the accelerator and nothing happened. The vehicle starts back up, but will not go into gear immediately. In one instance, it took about 5 seconds to go into gear. Brought vehicle to dealer where purchased (pauly Toyota- crystal lake, IL. ) who recommended bringing it to a Jeep dealership. Brought to crystal lake, IL crysler Jeep Dodge who could not diagnose problem as no faults appeared under test. Fluids were clean, and at proper levels. Was told to drive vehicle until condition reappeared, and it would be reinvestigated. This is similar to other complaints about this vehicle type stalling, except that so far, it has only happened when the vehicle is at a stop in traffic.

Failure Date: 09/10/2018

When driving my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee it will randomly stall while entering a turn or starting to brake and it will completely loose power steering and shut off. I have almost hit a guard rail a couple times and almost got rear-ended by a semi truck because it wouldn't start right back up. I have brought this to the dealership several times and it still keeps happening after they claim they fixed it. They don't seem to concern while I almost have been into several accidents which included my 18 month old and wife in the vehicle.

Vehicle stalled while driving in highway traffic at about 40 mph. Lost ability to steer as power steering quit working. There is a year-old recall to fix fuel pump relay problems but fca, the manufacturer, has yet to provide dealers with the parts needed to fix this problem. This is totally unacceptable as we have continued to drive this vehicle since we do not have, nor can we afford, another vehicle. Please pressure fca/Jeep to provide parts to dealers immediately. Recall # v62/NHTSA 19v-813.

The event leaves no engine codes and the dealer says they can't duplicate. I put the vehicle in neutral and it will start again. This is a huge safety issue for both myself and other motoring public.

Dealership stated nothing wrong with vehicle but they wont take vehicle as a trade in due to stalling issue ---- vehicle stalled two weeks ago . Contact given number to Jeep1recalls associated with this VIN Sep 18,2017 manufacturer recall numbert59 NHTSA recall number17v-572 recall status recall incomplete summary the brake booster water shield may have been incorrectly installed during completion of safety recall p14 (NHTSA 14v 154). An incorrectly installed brake booster water shield may be less effective in diverting water away from the brake booster, creating the possibility for corrosion and subsequent water intrusion of the brake booster. Safety risk water intrusion of the brake booster in a cold climate may lead to freezing and limit the braking ability of a vehicle. Limited braking ability can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Remedy inspect brake booster water shield for proper installation. If the brake booster water shield is found to be missing or incorrectly installed, the brake booster must be vacuum tested. Brake boosters that do not pass the vacuum test must be replaced. At the conclusion of this recall the brake booster water shield must be properly installed.

29 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2017

Vehicle will unexpectedly stall during decelleration and braking. Vehicle loses all power to the motor and power steering, making it difficult to avoid collision and steer vehicle to safety. This happens at high and low speeds, and has occurred on 3 separate occasions in a 2 week time period. This issue was supposed to be addressed by recall number p54; of which I completed on this vehicle in 2014. This issue persists, and I am seeing other owners complain of this identical problem on various forums. Jeep/Chrysler seems to be inconsistent on the coverage of repairs and diagnosis. This is a real safety concern that should be addressed universally.

31 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2017

My 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland v8 hemi stalls while slowing down to turn onto another road, or going from highway speeds to exiting a ramp. It's been occurring for several years. I've already had the fuel pump relay recall fixed twice, and my Jeep still stalls out almost on a daily basis. It turns out Chrysler issued a recall (t36) for 2012-2014 Jeeps with alternator issues; however the information I have read on the recall sounds a lot like what is happening to my Jeep. 2011 Jeep gc overland should be included in this recall.

32 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2017

Timp recall, was repaired Jan 2015. Today vehicle stalled in traffic, completely shut down and lost power steering, while making a left hand turn. I am lucky I was not in an accident.

Obviously there is still a problem the recall did not repair.
