Engine dies without warning while in motion. today, it quit in heavy traffic nearly resulting in an accident. vehicle has 150K miles. *ak the stalls usually occur upon letting up on the accelerator pedal. it will normally restart immediately, but to continue running the accelerator needs held down to hold the engine a little above idle speed - you have to drive with two feet. no error codes are recorded, so assumed mechanical failure was occuring. there was no sputtering, like a fuel pump failing would cause. replaced fuel filter and pressure regulator, but did not resolve the problem. repair shops can only guess at the cause.

Mr. Larry a. Sackey submitted a petition to the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) by letter dated april 18, 2003, requesting that nhtsafurther investigate the defective collapsible steering shaft system on 1987-1995 vehicles manufactured by the daimlerchrysler corporation.in part because of 49 cfr ? 30120(G), nhtsa has decided to limit the scope of the petition vehicles to 1993-1995 models, excluding the 1993 jeep grand cherokee and 1994-1995 dodge RAM series trucks that were recalled (93v210 & 96v230) for steering column failure.if the analysis of these vehicles had identified a potential problem, the scope could have been expanded in an investigation.a review of odi's data base shows no recent complaints and a lack of a complaint trend concerning the subject issue on the subject vehicles as a whole or by individual models.therefore, the petition IS denied.for details, see federal register notice volume 68, no. 130, july 8, 2003.
