Anti-theft Controller Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

I would have put igniotion/key as the affected parts, but that's not an option. So I'm driving down the road, and all of sudden it just stops running. Literally on southfield road. Think it was just a fluke I continued to try and drive it. Because the first time it started right back up. But now, it turns off at a light, during a turn, going 25mph, 45mph. . . Basically whenever it feels like. I have a son that is a permit only driver, and can't allow him for safety reasons to be driving this vehicle. I went to the mechanic and this is what I was told, there is a part in the ignition system that sends a signal to the chip in the key. When that stops sending the signal the vehicle turns off. Great anti-theft idea! it's so dangerous. Mechanic says the part is $100+ and then the original keys 'may not' reprogram, which means an extra $60 per key, plus programming. There is a reason the dealer keeps it in stock, gotta know it fails. This part should be recalled before someone gets hurt because the vehicle decided to stop running on the expressway.

I recently bought a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo and having done hours of research I am having the same problem as many other Jeep owners. My alarm is faulty and often does not start, I have not been able to use vehicle in over a week. I have tried everything Jeep told me to do to override alarm, it does not work. I also have a "quack" in my door locks. I suspect I will need a new acutuator. I don't understand how their is not a recall on any of these things, I have read literally hundreds of complaints about the anti-theft systems in these cars and it costs alot of time, money and frustration to fix. I will never buy another Jeep nor will I ever recommend a Jeep.

My security system intermittently locks me out of my vehicle. I have put at least 2000 into fixing it and still have a vehicle I cant drive and I still have to pay for it. No one knows why it is doing this. I am willing to have the system disabled but no one will tell me how to do that either. I am a single mom and cant afford to pay for a vehicle I cant drive. I have to get people to take me every where I go. This is causing severe hardship on me and my family.

Problem. . . Driving down the road or stopped at light or in the middle of a turn or on expressway. . . It would shut off without warning, sometime it would restart immediately, sometimes not!!!. . . Extremely dangerous situations developed, which I was lucky!!! 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4. 0 , 6 cyl. . . . Spent 6 months doing repairs/ replacement parts and many ,many dollars spent tracking down part after part. Using diagnostics machine to determine faulty part. . . Problem was the power control module ( pcm or ecu same part) was defective and either was misreading codes or giving out bad codes to parts (like to the crank shaft position sensor or the coil, or the 01 or 02 ox sensors or it goes on and on and on). Not sure how it works but you get my drift. Since signing up with cnet. Com, have found many people across America with the same issue on Jeep with different years (1994/2000) and models. To search. . . Look up Jeep stalls or Jeep fixed and you will see other topics and forums around that topic and you will also see where the manufacture doesn't know how to address the problem either. Another possible recall issue is the screws that hold the pcm might be too long and are grounding out the unit after paint wears off on firewall. . . Important to read all articles and different forums!!! . . . Is a must lastly. . . Instead of replacing pcm's, is it possible to have the pcm re flashed under recall??? I'm stretching, but maybe electrical power storms and rain is causing parts to defect??? lastly. . . Jeep parts consists of module power units that work or don't work but the pcm reads the codes and adjusts the workable of the motor. . . Another issue is that there are several issues that will shut down the motor besides the fore mentioned parts. . . Ie. . . Asd relay, the security system, door locks, steering column, the electronic key, the back windshield wiper. . .
