2000 Jeep Cherokee Engine problems

After sending my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Pugh's Service Center in Greenville, NC, in December 2018, because it would turnover, but not start. They replaced the ECM, but had to be taken to the local Jeep dealership for an OE ECM replacement and a crankshaft sensor, in order to get it to crank. Upon getting my Jeep back in March 2019, it ran fine for a few days. Then I went to start it, and it started, but after a few seconds, all of the GAUGES stopped working and all of the WARNING LIGHTS came on. I contacted both...

The suv randomly shuts down like someone unplugged it and will not start. Sometimes it will start after 10-15 minutes and shut down again. I replaced the oxygen sensor, the crank sensor, idle control sensor, and the car computer. *Tr

NO START

The jeep will suddenly cut off while driving, this has happened to me and my family several times on the highway. I replaced ( crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, air idle control valve, & pcm) . Still shuts down. Took it to several shops and know one can find the problem why? I've been doing alot of research, and noticed alot of jeep owers are having the same problems?

This is really the only problem I have with my jeep and everyone I talk to that has a jeep like mine and the same year have...

Bought this 2000 grand cherokee limited and while driving it at 55 mph, it lost power for about 5 seconds and then regained power. The next day it stalled at a stop sign but was able to restart after several tries. Was driving a couple days later and while slowing down for another stop sign the vehicle stalled and was luckily able to get to the side of the road out of traffic. Today the vehicle stalled again today approaching a red light and thankfully was able to get it to the median out of traffic. After...

Sudden stalling while driving or at idle. Applicable at all speeds from idle to freeway speeds. Sometimes the vehicle will restart and other times it will not restart right away. Sometimes it will restart if the vehicle sits for about 15 minutes and other times it has left me stranded for three hours or more. I have stalled in the middle of busy intersections and freeways. I have taken the vehicle in for repairs three times, have paid over $400 in repair bills to have parts replaced and the issue still occurs. ...

Engine stalls without warning while driving at any speed. All gauges including speed, rpm's, temp, fuel, etc. All stay for a few seconds after stalling and then all drop off. The jeep gc used to start up after a few seconds and was once in a while at first with this issue. Then it became more often that he jeep would stall, the same thing with the dash for a few seconds the speed, rpm's, etc. Would be at where it was before stalling with no power steering or power brakes while moving. Very hard to steer on curves...

For going on 2 months now my car has stalled at the most inconvenient times. Turning into gas stations, stopping at stop lights, driving on busy streets going up to 50mph. Usually I can just pop it into neutral and restart it but as of late, it won't turn back over until I replace the ignition fuse. I have replaced that fuse twice now, replaced the map sensor, replaced the fuel filter, yet nothing has offered a permanent solution to this problem. As you can clearly tell, this is a very dangerous problem to be...

Vehicle stalls after reaching operating temperature while negotiating traffic or driving, regardless of conditions or driving habits, at highway speeds or in a parking lot. Has stalled numerous times at worst possible times. No codes. No warning: in traffic. At stop lights. Pulling into gas stations. Etc... Extremely dangerous!!!!! Date submitted is the last time it happened. It has happened at least 10 times just this year. Looked on many jeep forums and seems to be a recurring problem!!! (See for yourself). Please help!!!!

The v8 engine quits running at both full speed and at idle without warning. All engine function is lost immediately. The vehicle will not restart until approximately 1 hour has past.

I love my jeep. However, I have the same problem many owners of the 2000 cherokee with the 4.0 Have. I have a cracked cylinder head. No oil in coolant, or vice versa, buit jeep is parked and will not move until it is either sold or scrapped. Body is in good condition and everything works on the jeep. I have rod knock on start up, and as the engine warms, oil pressure drops to zero. Revving engine to 2000 rpm raises oil pressure. The jeep has 181,000 miles. I have heard from many people that the cylinder head...

Upon warming up to operating temperature, the engine shuts off of our jeep grand cherokee limited. It has 81,000 very well cared for miles on it. This has happened at almost every conceivable speed (0-5mph, 10-25mph, 40-50mph, 55-80mph) and, at the most inopportune times, ie; pulling into a gas station, merging with traffic, entering an intersection, coming to or leaving a stop light, driving at steady roadway or highway speeds. My wife was nearly killed several times due to the sudden and utter loss of all power....

The engine is not cooling correctly when sitting still. The electric fan that keeps the engine from overheating does not come on, whether sitting or running. Got stuck on the side of the road trying to get the vehicle cool and had to drive 20 miles per hour in a 45 mile zone and the engine shut down in the middle of the road. The thermostat was changed, but the vehicle continues to overheat, and as previously stated, the electric fan does not come on at all, sitting still or driving.
