2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Problems

“I was driving when all of a sudden my vehicle cut off in the middle of traffic. Also, sunday morning I was driving to church when my vehicle would not start. I was told my a mechanic (not on duty) that it could be my fuel pump, wiring or catalytic converter. Please look into this matter as soon as possible.”

“We were driving Jeep on highway and all was normal. We stopped for fuel and when we started the car it idled very rough and started smoking. Shut car off and upon inspection the rocker arm had been pushed through the valve cover. Appears to be damage to valve but do not know extent of damage yet. Engine had approx. 108,000 miles on it.”

She had all the recalls fixed except for the airbag. Since owning this car I have only driven it 3 times. Granted I took a few months to put it on the road as the weather was cold. I've had extensive work done on it. Tune up, new transmission, belts, pumps, coils, hoses and sensors you name it but it continues to shut off on me. I try to take it for a spin but just putting it in reverse it shuts off. …”
