“I drive a 1997 Jeep Laredo it back fires and stalls going down the highway with no warning. It has stalled at a stop lights. And help up traffic have replaced sensors and now going to try changing fuel pump. Air bag light comes on and off how safe is that came close to being rear ended by a semi with my grand kids in vehicle because of it cutting out and loosing power at 55mph these jeeps are death traps and should be recalled before someone is killed and then its to late what is it going to take and how many complaints do you need to fix the problem.”
