“We bought a used 1999 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo last year for our son to drive, thinking it would be a safe vehicle for him in all kinds of weather and road conditions. We did not expect to have problems driving on the highway on dry roads in perfect weather. The vehicle has started to stall at highway speeds, causing a loss of power steering and brakes, and most likely air bags as well. We are lucky he is a safe driver, and was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. Our trusted mechanic, who is a Jeep owner, changed the crankcase position sensor, this did not help. …”
