JEEP CHEROKEE 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 12, 2013.JEEP CHEROKEE 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS . THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR STARTED TO LEAK AIR AROUND THE VALVE STEM. WHEN IT WAS REMOVED IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CHEAP ALUMINUM STEM HAD CORRODED AND THE STEM IN THE PROCESS OF BREAKING OFF COMPLETELY..IF IT HAD BROKEN OFF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TIRE WOULD HAVE DEFLATED IMMEDIATELY AND I WOULD BE IN BIG TROUBLE. PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT ALUMINUM IS A GREAT METAL, BUT IT HAS TO BE ANODIZED OR ALLOYED TO GET CORROSION RESISTANCE. WE ALREADY HAD THE JEEP HOOD REPLACED BECAUSE OF CORROSION. THERE ARE "MARINE GRADE" ALLOYS AVAILABLE, BUT WHETHER THEY CAN BE CRAFTED INTO VALVE STEMS,I DUNNO. I SEE BY THE INTERNET, A GREAT INDUSTRY EVOLVED IN PROVIDING REPLACEMENT SENSORS. WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN A GREAT IDEA TO DEVELOP THESE DEVICES, I DON'T SEE A GREAT IDEA TO HAVING TO REPLACE THEM, WHAT, EVERY 2 OR 3 YEARS, AT 3 OR 4 HUNDRED A POP TO PRECLUDE BLOWING OUT THE TIRE. IF THEY ARE ONLY GOOD FOR A COUPLE YEARS, WHAT GOOD ARE THEY. I AM GOING TO PUT THE OLD RUBBER STEMS IN MINE !!!! IF THE GOV'T LS PUTTING OUT THESE SILLY ASS REGULATIONS FOR SENSORS THEY SHOULD HAVE STIPULATED THEM TO LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS, OR HAVE REQUIRED THAT THEY BE REPLACED BY THE MFR ON SPECIFIC SCHEDULE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Jeep Cherokee 2008 problem was reported in WEST HARWICH, MA.

JEEP CHEROKEE 2008 Electrical System Report #10551173
JEEP CHEROKEE 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2012.JEEP CHEROKEE 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I AM WRITING TO DESCRIBE 5 INCIDENTS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR WHEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN MAY 2012, WITH A FOLLOW UP INSTANCE IN JUNE 2012. AFTER BRINGING THIS INTO THE DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE MALFUNCTIONING AND THEY REPLACED. 6 MONTHS LATER, VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT CAUSE. VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN OCTOBER 2013 WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ROUGHLY 20 MPH, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SHUT DOWN AT 70 MPH IN LATE OCTOBER 2013. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVED THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE (AFTER I TOLD THEM THE FIX TO THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE DID NOT WORK). DEALERSHIP ALSO ADVISED THAT A RECALL ON THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE FOR ISSUES EXACTLY AS I DESCRIBED WAS IN PLACE FOR 2008 GRAND CHEROKEES, BUT NOT MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WITH CHRYSLER, VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DEC 4 2007 - DEC 11 2007 WERE IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DEC 3RD. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL BUT AGREED TO PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR COST. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT ANY OF THE FIVE TIMES THAT MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THIS RECALL BUT WAS NOT. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR OTHER DRIVERS OF A 2008 GRAND CHEROKEE THAT FIT A SIMILAR DESCRIPTION OF MINE - CLOSE TO MANUFACTURER DATE OF RECALL BUT NOT QUITE THERE BUT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 58000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1J8GR48K28C. Jeep Cherokee 2008 problem was reported in BOSTON, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
