Some Jeep Cherokee owners report experiencing stalling at stop lights, often linked to issues with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the crankshaft sensor. These stalling problems may arise from a vacuum leak in the brake booster, a short in the PCM, or a malfunctioning torque converter in the automatic transmission. Additionally, a lack of fuel, insufficient airflow, battery failure, and transmission troubles can contribute to stalling while driving. Owners also report difficulties with restarting the vehicle after it stalls, indicating persistent component issues that require further investigation. Warning lights such as "Stop/Start Unavailable" may signal malfunctions in the auto start/stop system, necessitating a mechanic's attention for proper diagnosis and resolution. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to consult with a qualified mechanic or dealership for a thorough inspection and effective repairs.
