Description of the problem | I have a jeep grand cherokee limited 2011 with the 5. 7 4wd. Within the past 5 months i have had the jeep die while slowing down to make a turn. It is as if you turned the car off. The first time i was slowing to exit hwy on a right hand exit and the car died on the ramp with other cars behind me having to slow down quickly so i could restart. The second time i was making a right hand turn and it died in the middle of the turn. The third time i was entering a roundabout turning right then left and it died in the roundabout causing others to slow and stop until i could restart. The fourth time (this week) i was slowing down on hwy from 55 to turn left across left hand lane as i started the turn the car died. As with all these, it was if someone turned the ignition off. No power to engine, steering, brakes. The times before i might have been hit but the speed limit was low enough that it didn't scare me, this last time i was scared. The approaching traffic was coming at 55 mph. I had no way to get out of their way. I had to hope they slowed down to let me coast across. I was lucky that they did slow down and saw me so i could coast across the left lane and oncoming traffic. I have seen reviews of others having these issues. I am taking the car in to jeep to report but from what i have seen in reviews and complaints nothing is being done about this. I don't know if they have to wait until someone is killed or hurt before they anything is done about it. Based on my past experience now, i don't want to be that someone. I will be looking at getting rid of it if chrysler doesn't do anything about this issues. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
