2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine problems

“The contact owns a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while the vehicle was turned off, there was an abnormal sound coming from the dashboard. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the speedometer failed to display the correct speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed of a leak in the EVAP system. The contact was also informed that the vehicle control sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 205,000.”

“WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ON ME. IT STARTS AGAIN AFTER I WAIT ABOUT AN HOUR OR MORE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER IN DECEMBER 2017. SHE HAD ALL THE RECALLS FIXED EXCEPT FOR THE AIRBAG. SINCE OWNING THIS CAR I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT 3 TIMES. GRANTED I TOOK A FEW MONTHS TO PUT IT ON THE ROAD AS THE WEATHER WAS COLD. I'VE HAD EXTENSIVE WORK DONE ON IT. TUNE UP, NEW TRANSMISSION, BELTS, PUMPS, COILS, HOSES AND SENSORS YOU NAME IT BUT IT CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF ON ME. I TRY TO TAKE IT FOR A SPIN BUT JUST PUTTING IT IN REVERSE IT SHUTS OFF. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS?”

“A FEW INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (RADIO, HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD, ETC) STILL FUNCTION BUT ALL GAUGES STOP WORKING. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT WILL THEN START UP RIGHT AWAY. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE ENGINE HAS STARTED BACK UP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING AND DRIVES FINE AFTER THAT. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR MOSTLY WHEN I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR BUT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE. HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, NEVER ON A HIGHWAY.”

“I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, SUNDAY MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAS TOLD MY A MECHANIC (NOT ON DUTY) THAT IT COULD BE MY FUEL PUMP, WIRING OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.”

“ENGINE DIES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE STOPPED AND MOVING. THE GAUGES GO CRAZY. THE GAS GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THERE'S HALF OF TANK FULL. DID TUNE UP, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL, GAS FILTER.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KELLY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (501 STATE AVE, EMMAUS, PA 18049 (610) 967-2101), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.”
