- 12/24/1998· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 12 OCCASIONS BETWEEN 11/24/98 AND 12/23/98, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE ROADWAY. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HOWEVER ISN'T AFFECTED. THE RADIO, LIGHTS, GAUGES, ETC CONTINUE TO WORK. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED UP AGAIN. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED AND THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TO A MECHANIC/DEALER. I HAVE CURRENTLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL PUMP STRAINER, THE FUEL FILTER AND THE SPARK PLUG AND COIL WIRING REPLACED (AT THE DIRECTION OF MY LOCAL DEALER.) THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED I WAS ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AT THIS POINT I LACK CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE RESTARTS ITSELF AFTER SHUTING DOWN, THERE EXISTS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR CONTROLING THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 1994 JEEP CHEROKEE GRAND LAREDO AND IT CAME WITH A 16" "DOUGHNUT" SPARE TIRE. A FEW DAYS AGO I HAD TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE ON THE SMALL SPARE TIRE, THE CAR WOULD START TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY EVERY FEW BLOCKS. I WOULD MAKE A COMPLETE STOP, AND I COULD START DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO BLOCKS, BEFORE THE CAR STARTED THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SPARE WAS TOO SMALL AND THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALREADY RUNNING IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD A 4 WHEEL HIGH AND LOW TRANSMISSION, AND THIS IS WHY I COULDN'T USE THIS SPARE THAT WAS SUPPLIED WITH THE AUTOMOBILE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE 1996 JEEP CHEROKEE GRAND LAREDO WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 1994.
