TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN MID TURN. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED AS WELL. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT NEARLY STRUCK TWO CHILDREN AND A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT HIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS NOTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V059000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER); HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,840.
