“My 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport 4dr automatic has stalled while driving 6 times in the last few months. Most times in heavy traffic, with one time while I was on a highway on ramp. Usually it restarts after a period of 2 minutes to 12 hours. I did have to have it towed once as it would not restart. I have had it into the repair shop 3 times and the computer scan continually shows no problems. My mechanic replaced the ignition control module at my insistence even though he wasn't sure that was the problem. It wasn't, as it happened again a few days ago in the middle of the night. …”

When this happens airbag light comes on in dash. When guages come back on airbag light goes out. This has happened four times in the past week. The last three times occured in one day. Notified local Jeep dealer of problem twice. Blown off first time. Second time said no qualified people on hand to check out problem. Gave me appointment for three weeks from that day.”
