“I own a 96 Jeep grand cherokee and about 6 weeks ago it began to cut off while driving, total loss of power. The Jeep has been in the shop off and on for these 6 weeks since the first incident, I have spent approx. $600 trying to rectify the problem, then I received a recall from chrysler for a problem with the catalytic converter, so I took Jeep to local dealer to get repair done and they tell me that they are 95 % sure that the converter is the problem with my Jeep cutting off. Now the complaint, they do not have the part to fix my Jeep. …”
