Finally!
I am so glad to get this news today! I knew it was just a matter of time, but I'm glad it's being looked into sooner than later. The last time I looked, I thought the NHTSA had closer to 90 complaints regarding the stall when you added up the 2-dr., 4-dr., 2X4 4-dr., and right hand drive models. At any rate, I hope they figure out the problem real soon.

K, I filed my complaint. I haven't had the stall bug, but I figure if I didn't file a complaint after reading this thread, that I'd get it for certain.

GOOD! Had our fourth stall today. 16,965 miles 45 mph(last three where at freeway speed). Wife wants me to call dealership but told her why, they didn't do anything the last three times
Did fill out the complaint last month.

Just printed out the press release to keep in the Jeep for the next time I'm at the dealership.
Took it in Friday for:- front door seal replacement-jagged drain holes
-door mirror replacement-damaged seal
(all replaced under warranty)
-steering damper TSB......won't do anything till it wears out
-stalled 3 times so far......looked at me like I had two heads
and misquoted my description on the work order by writing that I've been putting the tranny in neutral and restarting,but it restarts on it's own.
Hopefully by having something from the media to present at the counter they may take the complaints a little more seriously instead of the reception I got.
