Jeep Grand Cherokee 2012 - stalling problem

Thanks for that. The mechanic from NRMA tried that, with no success.

The earlier Grand's didn't use the standard OBDII gauges or codes. Not sure about the latest ones. You needed a specific Chrysler scan gauge to get a true reading. All you get from a standard gauge is a generic reading that isn't much help. $3000 for the Chrysler gauge so finding a mechanic with one is rare.

Have had 2 recalls done, but there is one pending for fuel pump relay, as parts not available from the US. We think this is probably the cause of our problem!

It is a diesel. Will check that website, thanks

Just checked, it was a 2012 Jeep Cherokee too !!
The boloke was stopped, cleaned screen, went to restart and wouldn't do so . . .
Carry and extra can of beer

Surely not Les. Are you telling another porky!! Thanks god that's not in our car.

Looks legit, and did you see that 4x4 Earth thread reply where the other Pathfinder owner found his vehicle not starting was caused by a blown brake light fuse ??!!
Just crazy to have such things cause a vehicle to not be operable, and dangerous for people going bush.

Well lets face it. If the brake lights aren't working an emu may run up your rear end. Wasn't it great in the days where we were responsible for our own car lights. Speaking to a telstra driver a couple of years back whose lights were way too high, even when parked on the footpath, he said that he wasn't responsible for how the car's lights were adjusted. What!!! Now I see what he means. The car manufacturers put these electronic gizmos in the car so they we aren't responsible for the car.

Cheers

That sounds hard to believe, but anything is worth a try!

Les, that Pathfinder sounds even worse than the BT-50. Manufacturers have dumbed down both the driving AND the maintenance aspects of modern vehicles to the ridiculous. I was discussing this type of issue with an independent mechanic recently. The BT-50 of one of his customers went into limp mode due to a failed stoplight. Now that would be b###y brilliant in the middle of the Simpson.

No, it is a diesel. We have just contacted Chrysler Australia Head Office, and they say there is a temporary fix for the problem until recall can be done - fingers crossed!
