2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND REVS HIGH, ALL GEARS HIGH-LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD, AND THIS HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS MANY DIFFERENT TIMES? THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MY HUSBAND AND I TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND TO WAIT UNTIL NOTIFIED??? THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY AND HAVING ALMOST BEEN IN ACCIDENT(S) I FEEL THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND ON TO THE SHOULDER CAUSING SEVERAL CARS TO ALMOST HITTING ME. WHEN THE JEEP STOPPED I PUT THE SUV IN PARK AND TRIED STARTING ALL IT DID WAS MAKE NOISE. I THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED STARTING IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES PUT THE JEEP BACK IN PARK AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IN NOW. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES NOW BUT THE OTHER TIMES IT IS WHEN I AM EITHER COMING OFF THE FREEWAY OR ON A CITY STREET NOT GOING THAT FAST AND IN THAT MUCH TRAFFIC. *TR

SHIFTS FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF,WONT DOWN SHIFT AT CERTAIN TIMES,SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AT HIGH SPEEDS THEN SHUT OFF THE TRUCK. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE UNKNOWINGLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS UNTIL I TRIED TO INCREASE MY SPEED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO. I THEN HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE 2011. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT START. (THOUGHT IT WAS STARTER MOTOR LIKE EVERYONE ELSE). AFTER CHECKING ON INTERNET AND READING SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAD.( REPLACING STARTER MOTOR DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM). THOUGHT TO MYSELF COULD IT POSSIBLY BE A LOOSE WIRE. HAD SOMEONE HOLD THE KEY IN START MODE WHILE I PULLED ON THE WIRE HARNESS GOING DOWN BETWEEN ENGINE AND BATTERY. HAD TO JIGGLE IT IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AN DON'T U KNOW IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN AND THIS METHOD WORKED EACH TIME. DEALER SAYS HE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH PROBLEM. WANTS TO CHARGE 100+ AN HOUR FOR DIAGNOSTICS. P.S.- BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET BURNED OR GET CAUGHT BY FLYWHEEL BELTS IF U TRY THIS METHOD AT LEAST I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR TOW TRUCK . *TR

THE DRIVERS WINDOW REGULATOR IS NOT WORKING. SECOND PROBLEM IS WHEN I START MY JEEP UP AND PUT IT DRIVE IT SOMETIMES MAKES A CLUNK NOISE , LIKE IT' GOING IN HARD AND ALL THE BOXES LIGHT UP AROUND THE P.N.R.D. AND IT HAS NO POWER. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT CLEARS IT UP. *TR

STARTED TRUCK SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. STARTED TO DRIVE, TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD AND WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO SPEED OVER 20 MPH. TRIED PULLING OVER AND PUTTING IN PARK, STILL WAS UNABLE TO GET TRUCK TO DRIVE NORMALLY. HAD SAME ISSUE PREVIOUSLY, HAD TRUCK REPAIRED WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE - ALONG WITH THE BATTERY, TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND ALTERNATOR - THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL - WHEN WILL THEY RECALL THIS - DO WE NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE SOME REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE RADIATOR FAN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY JEEP (2007 OVERLAND 5.7L HEMI) SHUT OFF AT THE SPEED OF 65MPH WITH NO POWER STEERING IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO TRY TO GET OVER AS MY JEEP WAS GOING SLOWER AND SLOWER OTHER CARS ARE APPROACHING AND HONKING AND SCARING ME. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE HIT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE JEEP OFF TOT HE SIDE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO START IT AGAIN. IT TOOK A FEW TIMES AND IT STARTED BUT ACTED SLUGGISH ALL THE WAY HOME AND BELIEVE ME I STAYED ON THE SHOULDER SIDE AND WENT REAL SLOW. THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME OR OTHER JEEP OWNERS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS SINCE I OWNED IT. THERE IS A TWO SECOND DELAY WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. DEALERSHIPS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, 4WD MODULE. EVERY LIGHT COMES ON, CHECK ENGINE, CHECK GAS CAP ETC. IT NOW GETS HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE AND JEEP REFUSES TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE PRNDL HAD LIT BOXES AROUND ALL THE LETTERS, AND DASH INDICATORS ALL LIT UP, AND JEEP LOST POWER AS IF STALLING. IT THEN "WENT" BACK INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN. THIS HAPPENED OVER ELEVEN TIMES, WITH MILEAGE STARTING AT 1,186, AND MOST RECENTLY AT 52,536. DATES OF REPAIR INCIDENTS ARE : 2/12/07, 12/31/07, 1/10/08, 9/22/08, 1/5/09, 6/9/09, 6/18/12, 10/19/12, 12/26/12, 3/8/13, 3/22/13. MY JEEP IS A 2007, AVERAGING 8,756 MILES PER YEAR. I BOUGHT IT NEW AND I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF ALL MAINTENANCE RIGHT AWAY - OIL CHANGES, FILTERS, TIRE ROTATION, ETC.! EACH TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR "REPAIR" , THEY EITHER COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, OR REPLACED : SHIFTER MODULE (TWICE), TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS (THREE TIMES) AND SUGGESTED A NEW BATTERY (WE REPLACED THAT ALSO), AND TRANSMISSION PLUG AND SEAL. THERE WERE ALSO NUMEROUS "SOFTWARE AND ANTI-THEFT UPDATES. IN ADDITION TO THESE, I REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR TWICE. NOW, THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE "TRANSMISSION TEMP CIRC." AND ESM MODULE - FOR ANOTHER $1,500.00 . ALL THIS IN 52,536 MILES AND 6 YEARS !!! I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE ARE SERIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THIS JEEP IS UNPREDICTABLE. I NEVER KNOW, EVEN AFTER ALL THE "REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS" , IF IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND I MIGHT BE IN DANGER (TRAFFIC, INTERSECTION, ETC.). HOW IN THE WORLD COULD CHRYSLER DENY THIS PROBLEM? IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AT THE SOURCE, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR

FIRST MY REAR WINDOW LIGHT WOULD COME ON DURING COLD WEATHER AND WOULD STAY ON THIS HAPPENED AT 35,000 MILES. THEN MY DIRECTIONAL STOPPED WORKING HAD FIXED IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS HAPPENED AT 82,000 MILES. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER DROVE MYSELF TO THE DRS WHEN I CAME OUT MY JEEP WOULDN'T START. ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS,RADIO,DIRECTIONAL, WINDOWS WORKED BUT WHEN I TURN IT ON I HEAR A CLICK THEN NOTHING ELSE. CAR WONT TURN OVER AT ALL. I WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR OF TRYING BEFORE IT DECIDED TO WORK AND TURN OVER. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE 5 MIN STOPPED AT A GAS STATION FOR GAS, WHEN I SHUT IT OFF AND TRIED TURNING BACK ON SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAITED ABOUT 45 MIN BEFORE IT WOULD START BACK UP. THEN NO PROBLEMS FOR 5 DAYS. NOW AGAIN ITS DOING THE SAME THING EXCEPT I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AND IT STILL WONT START. I CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH COMPLAINTS THAT WERE THE SAME AS MINE EXCEPT THESE PEOPLE SPENT THOUSANDS TRYING TO FIX AND REPLACE EVERYTHING YET STILL NO LUCK THEY CONTINUE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SO THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP AND EVEN AFTER BRINGING TO JEEP DEALER AND HAVING A DIAGNOSTICS DONE WITH NO PROBLEMS SHOWING UP. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG SUGGESTED REPLACING WIRES, STARTER, SOMETHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, AND SOME MODULE. I DON'T WANT TO DUMP TONS OF MONEY IN IT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE JUST TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER APOLOGIZED AND SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE UNABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,800. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF (STALL), THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND ANY DRIVING CONDITION, OCCASIONALLY IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART, TAKING MULTIPLE TRIES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR COMING OFF THE FREEWAY AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN TRUCK STALLED AND WOULD NOT START I EVEN PUT IN NEUTRAL WITH NO HELP AND IT JUST KEPT JUMPING. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF MAY 2012 ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HAD A DUE BILL FOR WORK TO BE DONE, STALLING WAS 1 OF THE ISSUES. GOT IT BACK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON,BUT STILL STALLED WHENEVER HOT OR COLD DRIVING OR IN PARK. HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND IT STILL STALLS, JEEP TECH'S CANT FIGURE IT OUT. DIES SOMETIMES 3-4 TIMES A DAY AND ONCE IN AWHILE NOT AT ALL, BUT ON AVERAGE 3-5 TIMES A WEEK,NEVER THROWS A CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST DIES LIKE IF I TURN THE KEY OFF. I HAVE TO STOP OR PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND THEN RESTART,RUNS FINE TILL THE NEXT STALL WHICH MIGHT BE IN A FEW MINUTES,HOURS OR THE NEXT DAY!! VERY FRUSTRATED AND DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL!!ABOUT 3000 DOLLARS OF WORK HAS BEEN DONE AND STILL STALLS. NEXT THING TO DO JEEP TECH SAYS REPLACE WIRING HARNESS 2000 DOLLARS..HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET HOPEFULLY SOMETHING ELSE CAN BE DONE!!! PCM AND PLUGS HAVE BEEN REPLACE BY JEEP TECH'S AMONG OTHER THINGS TRIED AND IT STILL STALLS! *TR

THIS FIRST OCCURRED @ APPROX. 48K MILES. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I ACCELERATE, TRUCK BEHAVED AS IF IT WAS THROWN INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT DOWN THE ROAD APPROX. 1/4 MILE AND PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT (LIVING IN THE COUNTRY, THERE IS NO PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD) SHUT THE JEEP OFF, RESTART AND ALL IS GOOD. NOW AT 55K MILES, THE REAR PINION SEAL WAS LEAKING LIKE A WATERFALL, REPLACED, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTS WITH THIS FEELING AS IF IT WERE THROWN INTO NEUTRAL, BOTH TIMES IT KICKED BACK INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN. NOW TODAY DRIVING HOME, IT CLUNKED, BUCKED, ALL P,R,N,D LIGHTS LIGHT UP AT ONCE, THEN THEY GO OUT, THEN THEY LIGHT UP, THIS REPEATS , I MADE IT HOME, COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40-45. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO RECALL THESE, AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED. DID I MENTION I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK EVERY DAY! I CANT DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT, I AM PETRIFIED, I WILL NOT PUT THE CHILD IN IT. I HAVE TO BORROW A VEHICLE UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO PULL IT APART AND GET THE PART FROM THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM 40 MILES AWAY! WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND A JEEP TO ANYONE, EVER! I HAVE A FRIEND OWNS THE SAME JEEP, SAME YEAR, EVEN THE SAME COLOR, HE HAS ALMOST 200K ON HIS AND JUST REPLACED IT, HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 25 MPH. THE SHAME OF IT IS, I LOVE IT AND I AM GOING TO TAKE A HUGE FINANCIAL BATH ON IT, EVEN WHEN ITS REPAIRED, I CANT TRUST IT, ITS NOT CHILD SAFE! ALSO SEEMS VERY CONVENIENT JEEP DOES NOT TRANSFER WARRANTIES! OTHERWISE THIS WOULD OF BEEN COVERE

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN IDLING AT RED LIGHTS AND OCCASIONALLY SHUTS DOWN SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH THE HEMI V8 ENGINE AND IT IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MATTER. THERE IS AN ENTIRE THREAD ABOUT THIS AT HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/. *TR

VEHICLE JUST RANDOMLY STALLS, SHUTS OFF AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF AND ON QUICKLY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN GOING SLOW AROUND A TURN OR MAKING ANY TURNS, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN IT STALLS. THIS WILL ALSO HAPPEN WHEN IDLING IN PARK OR WHEN SITTING AT STOPLIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY AND HAD A SUBSTANTIAL DELAYED RESPONSE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED; THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOTH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR LOCATE THE MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 45 MPH. THE ONLY WAY TO QUICK FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON THEN IT WILL RUN NORMAL. ALSO THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHEN I WAS TURNING DOWN THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT GO UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE. *TR

ON 12/5/2012 MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH ONLY 33,466 MILES STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT HOWEVER SINCE THEN THE STALLING PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE I RECENTLY HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS COURTEOUS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY TOLD ME THAT THE HEMI ENGINES HAVE THIS KNOWN PROBLEM FOR STALLING AND THEY HAD TO CHANGE OUT $1500.00 WORTH OF PARTS TO HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. SADLY MY EXTENDED COVERAGE DID NOT COVER THE COST DUE TO THE LACK OF CHRYSLER/JEEP NOT BEING ABLE TO GIVE THEM AN ACTUAL BROKEN PART NUMBER. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER/JEEP IS JUST PLAYING GUESSING GAMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM! WHILE RESEARCHING THE WEB I CAME ACROSS A WEB SITE CALLED "WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM" AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP. SADLY I KNOW THIS WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS AT THE NHTSA AS OTHERS HAVE ALSO STATED ON THE JEEP FORUM WEB SITE, BUT I'M HOPING BY TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE THIS POST THAT IT WILL INFORM ANYBODY WHO IS CONSIDERING TO BUY A JEEP VEHICLE TO THINK TWICE AS CHRYSLER/JEEP ARE PRODUCING PURE JUNK VEHICLES THAT YOU COULD END UP COMPROMISING YOUR LIFE AND OTHERS AROUND YOU! REMEMBER HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAN'T BE WRONG!! *TR

ORIGINALLY HAVING ISSUES SLOWING DOWN GOING AROUND CORNERS AND UP A STEEP INCLINE. FELT LIKE VEHICLE WAS STAYING IN HIGHER GEAR, YOU COULD DOWN SHIFT IT MANUALLY. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE NO CODES PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM. THEN LAST YEAR IN AUGUST 2011 WE DID A CROSS COUNTY TRIP (7000 MILES) VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT BOTH LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEEDS, NOT EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ITSELF AND OTHERS THE KEY HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REINSERTED, BUT MOST TIMES NOT. THE WEATHER DID NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. UPON RETURN VEHICLE HAD APPROX 45,000 MILES, CODES RETREIVED FROM VEHICLE WERE MULTIPLE. ACTIVE CODES: B2105, C121C PENDING CODE: P0524 STORED CODES P0129, P0688, P0884. AT 35,000 MILES NEW OEM SPARK PLUGS AND WATER PUMP (DUE TO COOLANT LEAK) WITH NEW ANTIFREEZE. VEHICLE IS SERVICED REGULARLY EVERY 3,000 MILES SINCE NEW. SINCE 45,000 MILES ALL RELATED CIRCUITS AND COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND CHECKED FOR PROPER OPERATION. NEW CRANK SENSOR AND ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH. CODE B2105 KEEPS RECURRING EVEN WITHOUT STALL. ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS AND GROUNDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND CHECKED, NEW BATTERY AT 36,000. HAD VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. MY HUSBAND HAS 40 YEARS AS CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC AND IS VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL STALL DUE TO A POORLY SHIELDED WIRING HARNESS. I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE AND I'M INCLUDING A LINK FOR YOU TO READ THROUGH TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER HEMI OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THE TEMPORARY FIX IS TO PUT TIN FOIL AROUND OUR HARNESSES???? HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/INDEX1.HTML. *TR

I PURCHASED 07 JEEP 10/20/2012 SHORTLY AFTER IT STALLED IN CAR WASH ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT STALLED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM SOON BEGAN TO STALL ON INTERSTATE AND RECOVERS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AS TIME PASSES THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AT LEAST 8 TIMES A WEEK MOSTLY WHILE IDLING OR COASTING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ONLY GOING AROUND 15 MPH, WHEN MY P R N D ALL LIT UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE AND PUT MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT JERKED FORWARD. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC MONITORING SYSTEM AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE, THE COST FOR THIS IS CLOSE TO $400 AND THAT IS NOT PRICING LABOR AND NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE STALL OUT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, OR WHEN IDLING STATIONARY. COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING. SEEMS THESE STALLING PROBLEMS ARE COMMON WITH 5.7 HEMI JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, EVEN ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST DURING A STALL. AN INOPERATIVE VEHICLE IN A TRAFFIC LANE COULD SUFFER A REAR-END COLLISION FROM THIS CONDITION. PLEASE HELP BY ORDERING A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER COMPANY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. NOTHING SEEMS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION AND IT KEEPS OCCURRING. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND IN JUNE OF 2011 WITH 52095 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH OF 2012, I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST OF MANY STALLS HAPPEN TO THE JEEP WITH 60,980 MILES ON IT. IT HAS RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE STALL OUTS THAT HAPPENED THROUGH OUT THE YEAR. IT SEEMS TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING HOWEVER NOT ALL THE TIME. IT'S STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (MASS PIKE OR RT. 9) AND ON SIDE ROADS. I HAVE NOT OBSERVED ANY PRECURSORS TO THE STALLING. WHEN IT STALLS, IT BUCKS AND THEN THE JEEP DOES NOT ACCELERATE HOWEVER THE LIGHTS COME ON, JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MANUAL VEHICLE IS STALLED. THESE TYPES OF STALL OUTS I EXPERIENCE DO NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES IS THE JEEP WILL BUCK, LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL, BUT IT DOESN'T AFTER SLAMMING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER A STALL OUT, I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE JEEP AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON, JUST THE OIL LIGHT. THIS JEEP HAS HAD THE IGNITION CONNECTOR AND SOFTWARE REPLACED TWICE IN OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE OF A STORED CODE: FCMCGW B2185 . THERE ARE TWO OTHER CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER: PCM P0884 AND ABS C12K. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO DAN'S JEEP IN WESTBOROUGH, MA SINCE THE FIRST STALL OUT TO THE PRESENT. THE RECENT STALL OUT WAS FRIDAY, JANUARY 11TH. THIS STALL OUT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE "PROGRAMMING ASSESS" (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH A BLINKING RED LIGHT. EVERYTIME I BRING THE JEEP TO DAN'S, THEY GIVE ME THE SAME RE

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND ENGINE STALLED. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. PUT CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR STILL MOVED WOULDN'T RESTART HAD TO SWITCH IGNITION OFF AND TAKE KEY OUT OF IGNITION BEFORE ENGINE WOULD START. STALLS AT RANDOM WITHOUT ANY ENGINE MALFUNCTION LAMPS. HAZARD TO BE DRIVING ON ROAD. PROBLEM STILL UNKNOWN AND VEHICLE IS OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 5.7 HEMI JULY 31, 2007. DECEMBER 1, 2010 MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. SHE MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY MORE ISSUES. DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED P0884 CODE FROM THE PCM. HE COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL NUMEROUS TIMES AT HIGH SPEED AND SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED. AFTER NUMEROUS PARTS WERE CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITH NO RESULTS, THE TECHNICIAN CONTACTED AN ENGINEER FROM THE CHRYSLER COMPANY. DURING AN ON SITE VISIT THE ENGINEER SUSPECTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE UPPER ENGINE HARNESS RECEIVING AN ELECTRICAL INDUCTION FROM THE ENGINE COILS CAUSING THE PCM TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED FOIL AROUND THE HARNESS AND WIRE TIED THE HARNESS UP OFF THE CRADLES THEY LAY IN. ENGINE PERFORMED NORMAL WITH NO SHUT DOWNS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DECISION WAS MADE TO CHANGE THE UPPER ENGINE HARNESS. SINCE THE HARNESS WAS CHANGED MY JEEP HAS STALLED OUT FOUR MORE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT STALL OCCURRED THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2012. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEED LIMITS AND YOUR CAR STALLS. CHRYSLER PLACES DRIVERS IN A SITUATION WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNCONTROLLABLE WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH CARS BEHIND YOU. I STARTED AN ON LINE THREAD IN JEEP

PURCHASED 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 5.7 ON 11/30/2012. ON 12/04/2012 I EXPERIENCED STALLING WHILE DECELERATING TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT, THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED SHOWING CODE P0884. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT BACK UP WHEN I TURNED THE KEY WITH NO SIGNS OF HESITATION. EVER SINCE THAT DAY, MY VEHICLE STALLS ON AVERAGE ABOUT 8-10 TIMES PER WEEK DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN I USE THE VEHICLE. IT STALLS MAINLY DURING IDLE OR COMING TO A STOP AND THE MOST FRIGHTENING STALL I HAVE EXPERIENCED WAS WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 60MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED, AND INSTANTLY RESTARTED ITSELF. BOTH TIMES I EXPERIENCED STALLING AT HIGH SPEED WAS WHEN I WAS DOING ABOUT 60MPH AND BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF ON ITS OWN. BUT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STALLS, I LOOSE ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING WHICH WORRIES ME VERY MUCH. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND WITH THE 5.7 MOTOR OWNER EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I AM ONE OF THE HUNDREDS ON OWNERS INVOLVED IN A GROUP DISCUSSION ON JEEPFORUM.COM WHERE WE DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM AND STEPS THAT JEEP, PRIVATE MECHANICS, AND/OR OWNERS THEMSELVES HAVE TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS STALLING PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A SOLUTION. LOSS OF POWER AT 60MPH IS A VERY BIG ISSUE AND I WORRY THAT SOMEONE CAN BE VERY HURT OR KILLED BY LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING STALLING. I HOPE THIS ISSUE RAISES CONCERNS FOR MY VEHICLE AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO ALLOW

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF (STALL), THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND ANY DRIVING CONDITION, OCCASIONALLY IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART, TAKING MULTIPLE TRIES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING ACROSS THE OPPOSING LANE. THE STALLING HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AT TIMES, AS MUCH AS 3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLED. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF AN BACK ON TO RESTART IT. THIS FIRST HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS OVER, AS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN MAY OF 2012. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP ON DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS. THE SPARK PLUGS, EGR VALVE, IGNITION COIL, PCV VALVE AND MAP SENSOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO NO EFFECT. THERE ARE NO MEANINGFUL DIAGNOSTIC CODES STORED IN THE OBD-II SYSTEM. I FEEL THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HARM'S WAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY OF THESE SAME VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. I CAN NO LONGER LET MY WIFE OR TEENAGE SON DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND ENGINE STALLED. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. CAUSED CAR BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID GETTING HIT. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO START. HAD TO SWITCH IGNITION OFF BEFORE ENGINE WOULD START. STALLS AT RANDOM WITHOUT ANY ENGINE MALFUNCTION LAMPS. HAZARD TO BE DRIVING ON ROAD. PROBLEM STILL UNKNOWN AND VEHICLE IS OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY BY FIVE THOUSAND MILES. *TR

BEGAN STALLING WHEN STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP WITH FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. ENGINE WOULD START UP JUST BY RESTARTING THE JEEPS. MONTHS LATER SOMETIMES YOU WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF BEFORE IT WOULD START,. ON AVERAGE IT WOULD STALL ONCE EVERY 7 TO 10 DAYS. NO CODES, STORED OR PENDING DURING THIS JOURNEY. REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR. CHECK HOSES FOR VACUUM LEAK, FOUND NONE. REPLACED THE ASD RELAY. CHANGED FROM PREMIUM TO MID GRADE. CHANGED TO REGULAR GRADE. CHECKED AIR FILTER AND CLEANED THROTTLE BODY WITH STP CLEANER. ADDED FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER TO FUEL TANK. CHECKED ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC CONNECTORS, NONE LOOSE OR DAMAGED. CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL WAS FINE. REPLACED MAP SENSOR AND POSITION CRANK SENSOR. REPLACE EGR VALVE CHANGED OIL AND FILTER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE JEEP. USED SAE 5W30. WITH 79,000 MILES ON THE HEMI I REPLACED ALL SIXTEEN CHAMPION 570 WITH NEW CHAMPION 570. SPRAYED EACH OF THE 16 BOOTS WITH ELECTRONIC CLEANER VERIFIED THE PLUG GAP AND TORQUED THE PLUGS. SPRAYED VAST AMOUNT OF STP THROTTLE BODY CLEANER IN THE TB AND STP FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER IN THE GAS TANK. STILL STALLING. *TR

THE FUEL RETURN ASSEMBLY ON THE 3.0L TURBO DIESEL ENGINE LEAKS FUEL DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE CLAMPS ON THE HOSES AND THE O-RING AT THE RETURN ASSEMBLY CONNECTION POINT. THIS HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY DAIMLER BENZ AND CHRYSLER AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME POWERTRAIN AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. *TR

3.0 LITER CRD HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS FROM PURCHASE TO INCLUDE AIR INTAKE, OIL SYSTEMS, AND SEALS. ENGINE IS UNRELIABLE AND DOES NOT SEEM TO LAST MORE THAN 5,000 MILES BEFORE NEEDING MAJOR REPAIRS. BASED OFF OF MY EXPERIENCES I BELIEVE THE ENGINE IS FAULTY AND CAN LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. IN A 3 YEAR PERIOD VEHICLE HAS BEEN QUOTED AS NEEDING IN EXCESS OF $20,000 IN ENGINE REPAIRS. AIR INTAKE CLOGS WITH OIL. OIL SYSTEM LEAKS FROM MULTIPLE LOCATIONS TO INCLUDE ENGINE OIL COOLER, AND INTAKE RUNNERS. BACK ENGINE OIL SEALS LEAK. TURBO CLOGS WITH ENGINE OIL. VEHICLE HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THERE ARE NO BRAKE OR TAIL LIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN IT IS DARK, EVERYTHING WORKS IN THE DAY LIGHT, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS IN REAR OF CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY, MY JEEP BEGAN TO DECELERATE UNTIL IT REACHED ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN THOUGH I MAINTAINED CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT SO I COASTED, AND PRESSED THE PEDAL A LITTLE HARDER, UNTIL EVENTUALLY, THE SUV LURCHED AND THEN STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE VEHICLE DECELERATE TO 35 WHILE IT SEEMED THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED, AND THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN. AFTER THE ACCELERATION DROPPED AND THEN INCREASED THE SECOND TIME, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN 65 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY 15 MILES LATER NEAR MY HOME. DRIVING A VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IS A HORRIBLE FEELING! I WAS SO AFRAID THAT A CAR OR TRUCK MOVING AT THE NORMAL SPEED WOULD CRASH INTO ME. IF THE TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE TERRIFYING, BECAUSE IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE, AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON OR HOW LONG I WOULD BE STRANDED. WE JUST HAD THE SUV'S ENGINE TUNED ONE MONTH AGO AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER, AND WE ALSO HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY EPISODES LIKE THIS UNTIL NOW. I'M ACTUALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE JEEP AGAIN! *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHILE AT IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT, AND IT HAPPENS WHILE AT SPEED. IT HASN'T OCCURRED YET AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. EVERYTIME IT STALLS, I GET A OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT. I OCCASIONALLY RECEIVE A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT AS WELL. I ALSO OCCASIONALLY RECEIVE A ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) INDICATOR LIGHT WHEN MY POWER STEERING CUTS OFF DUE TO THE ENGINE STALL. THE PROBLEM ALWAYS CORRECTS ITSELF UPON SHUTTING THE KEY OFF, AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE NOR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. FYI, I RECENTLY HAD MY 5 YEAR POWERTRAIN INSPECTION DONE BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND MY JEEP PASSED WITH NO NOTED ISSUES. I HAVE INCLUDED A LINK TO A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. HERE'S THE LINK TO THE WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2007/JEEP/GRAND+CHEROKEE/ENGINE+AND+ENGINE+COOLING+SYSTEM. *TR

THIS IS A CONTINUING ISSUE. THE SPEED WILL SUDDENLY DECREASE TO 30 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON DRIVERS PART. THIS IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON BUSY ROADS. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE BUT AFTER READING REVIEWS IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THEN ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN DOING ANYTHING. WE BAILED THEM OUT? *TR

ESM- ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE ISSUE: P, R, N, D, L ALL LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE CAR GETS CONFUSED AS TO WHICH GEAR IT SHOULD BE USING.THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. IT SHIFTS ROUGHLY. OFTEN THE CAR LOSES POWER DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE, HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL??? THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN, AND THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THIS IS RECALLED??? PS-YOUR VEHICLE DROP BOX DOES NOT WORK. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, HE POWERED OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH RESTARTED AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. IF YOU STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT WILL SOMETIMES FIX ITSELF BUT NOT ALWAYS AND THIS IS NOT A GOOD OPTION TO RESORT TO IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THIS VEHICLE WILL ALSO DOWNSHIFT ON ITS OWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED SLOWING YOUR CAR WITHOUT WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. WAS TOLD REPLACING THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (AT $1100) MAY POSSIBLY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT SURE THAT THIS WOULD REMEDY THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER, POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE FAILURES WITH THE ACCELERATOR AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,500. UPDATED 12/11/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. UPDATED 12/17/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME HESITANT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 25 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO MERGE OFF THE HIGHWAY AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SHORTLY AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS IN MY WIFE'S 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL ON DECELERATION. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT THE STALLING CONTINUED FREQUENTLY. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED OR PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE COASTING TO BE RESTARTED. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 GRAND CHEROKEES WITH HEMI'S. I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING AMONG THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE JEEP FORUMS (HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/) THAT DISCUSS THIS ISSUE IN DEPTH. THE VEHICLE STALLS LESS FREQUENTLY THAN IT DID WHEN I FIRST CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON NOVEMBER 1, 2013 WHEN MY WIFE WAS PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL. CHRYSLER CORPORATION FAILS TO TAKE A STANCE ON THE PROBLEM DENYING THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST. I HAVE SPOKE TO MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT. I WOULD SALE THE VEHICLE, BUT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE I COULD NOT DO THAT TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL. SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER WIRING HARNESSES ON SEVERAL VEHICLES AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. AGAIN TO RESTATE THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER THE SPARK PLUGS ARE CHANGED IN THE VEHICLES. THIS WOULD LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE THAT DISTURBING THE POSITION OF THE WIRING HARNESS EFFECTS THE VEH

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON JUNE 28, 2012. LETTER STATES "COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND CAUSE A CRASH." DEALER IS STILL UNABLE TO GET MY PART DUE TO BACKORDER FROM CHRYSLER AND RESTRICTIONS ON HOW MANY THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ORDER. I WAS TOLD THE PART MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ANOTHER 2-3 MONTHS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I MAY CRASH DUE TO CHRYSLER'S INABILITY TO PROVIDE A PART THAT THEY TELL ME TO REPLACE. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE DEALERS. *TR

09/29/2008 JEEP TAKEN TO GARAGE FOR HEAD LIGHT FAILURE NOTHING FOUND. 03/09/2012 TO 11/07/2012 ALL INDICATOR LIGHT FLASH EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR NUMEROUS DAYS AT A TIME THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. REALLY NOT GOOD WHEN IT IS DARK OUT AND YOU DON'T HAVE HEADLIGHTS. AT 15,000 AND 35,000 I HAD TO HAVE THE SHIFT MODULAR REPLACED BECAUSE ALL THE CAR WOULD BASICALLY GO IN TO NEUTRAL WHEN BEING DRIVEN. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE DAYS THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND SENT IT HOME ONLY TO HAVE TO RETURN 2 DAYS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AS I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THESE SAME ISSUES MAKES YOU WONDER FIRST WHY THESE ISSUES CAN'T SEEM TO BE FIXED, SECOND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE I HAVE HEARD OF HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS. WHEN THE JEEP IS WORKING I LOVE IT. IF I HAD A HOPE AND A PRAY OF GETTING A NEW VEHICLE I WOULD TRADE IN MY PAID OFF JEEP IN A HEART BEAT SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO CONSTANTLY WORRY THAT IT STOP RUNNING OR THAT I WILL BE DRIVING BLIND IN THE DARK. SADLY I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH ON THE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES I.E. WINDOW THAT HAD TO BE FIXED REMOTE KEYLESS ISSUES IT IS SAD THAT THE COMPANY DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE THINGS THIS WILL BE MY LAST JEEP. I FEEL THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE DANGEROUS FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE THAT IS ON THE ROAD
