8 Manual Transmission problem of the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 12/04/1999

This vehicle has many/many inherent problems, it has an enging problem that causes the engine to stop running. We are told that they dont know what the problem is but would like to put CO pilot in the car to log a code when the problem occurs, however we have been told that they have had this problem on other cars and have not been able to have the CO pilot log in any error codes. So they bought the car back from the owners. It would take quite some time for us to list all of the inherent problems that all these new Jeeps have 1999 0r 2000 models. If you could go to the site on the net and type in 4x44u you will be astounded at all the frustrated folks nation wide. The car also has many drivetrain problems to many to list, it is overwhelming. Please help us, we worked hard for that $38. 000 dollars we gave to Chrysler and they are just putting it back on us, the customer's. Thank you very much. Ken and barb davis.
