2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo encountering several problems: The vehicle either won't start or starts then stalls. Experienced other problems with complete loss of power while driving on the highway at 60mph. Also had loss of blinkers, radio and wipers. The problems have been occurring intermittently since Nov, 2009 but becoming more common over last 3 months. Current mileage 43K. No codes found on computer for any of the problems. No dash lights when car stalls. It is very scary and certainly a safety issue that needs to be addressed. The earlier recall (H03/ 08V059) is the exact problems but our vehicle is not included in the recall.

While driving all my gauges stopped working such as the wipers, speedometer, oil light, all of my gauges stopped working that are controlled by the computer. Couldn't tell what gear I was in while driving. My radio and clock wouldn't work. My blinkers wouldn't work. I had to take it to get it fixed this morning. I surprised this wasn't on a recall.

Found that the first time I tried to open the sunroof since last fall that it will not open. A clicking can be heard from the sunroof motor located behind the sunroof. Sunroof will go to vent position, but will not slide back.

Grand Cherokee

  • 52,008 miles
We were driving our 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee on an open road at about 55mph when we heard a loud sound like a muffled gunshot over our heads. No other traffic was in sight and there was nothing overhead. When we pulled over to investigate, we noted that the sunroof was shattered and "pooched" up, yet intact. Nothing struck the vehicle and it was not impacted from below. We drove it to the nearest dealer we could find with the nav unit a few miles away. We were met with hostility and basically called liars by the service staff when we told them what happened. It is currently in the dealers shop awaiting a new sunroof. We have had other Chrysler products before and have had no issues. Other than this incident the vehicle has been a joy to own.
