Jeep Grand Cherokee engine shuts down while driving on Jeep Grand Cherokee

Some Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report experiencing engine shutdowns while driving, often attributed to a bad fuel pump or a damaged crank position sensor, which can prevent the engine from starting. Insufficient fuel supply due to fuel pump issues is a common cause of these shutdowns, as well as faulty air flow. Owners are advised to check for stored trouble codes, as these can provide insight into the problem. Additionally, if the engine shuts down and the starter does not engage, it may indicate a battery issue, prompting a check of battery health and Cold Cranking Amps (CCAs). There may also be safety recalls affecting certain models, such as a recall for the 2011 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee due to a failure in the electric fuel pump relay. It is recommended that affected owners seek professional diagnosis to ensure safe driving conditions.
