I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR "JERKED" AND THE SPEED DRASTICALLY DECREASED TO 20MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A BOX AROUND PRND INSTEAD OF JUST AROUND DRIVE. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AS SOON AS I COULD AND DROVE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN OCT 2009 SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS FIXED AT THAT TIME. NOW ALITTLE OVER ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS TRAVELING WHEN TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT OR IT MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I SPOKE WITH JEEP AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE UNLESS I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER IN WHICH IS WAS REPAIRED BEFORE, I EXPLAINED THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS ONE HOUR AWAY AND I WOULD NOT BE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THAT DISTANCE AND DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITY TO HAVE IT TOWED THAT DISTANCE. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION.

VEHICLE LOST POWER (ENGINE RPM WENT TO IDLE) FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE TURNING ONTO A MULTI-LANE HWY AND ACCELERATING. POWER WAS RESTORED AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. VEHICLE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. "CHECK ENGINE" CODE U0404 WAS VERIFIED THROUGH JEEP IS THE "TCM" TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE.

JEEP ACCELERATES THEN AT ABOUT 15-20MPH IT WONT ACCELERATE ANY MORE AND BOXES WILL APPEAR AROUND THE P N R D AND THEN IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN JERK FORWARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON. *TR

IN MAY 2008, 15308 MI ON JEEP, SLOWING FOR RED LIGHT, DIES, ALL DASH LIGHTS COM ON, NO POWER TO STEER, NO WIPERS, ETC.; STARTS BACK ON IT'S OWN. TOOK TO DEALER, NO CODE, NO RE-ACT; HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENT SINCE-SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC. NOW TRANNY PROBLEM, STARTED SEPT. 2010, 37,600 MI, CODE 750, CHANGED SOLENOID PK IN TRANNY, NOW CODE FOR LOW PRESSURE SEND CIRCUIT, DRIVES A FEW MILES THEN GOES AND STAYS IN 4TH GEAR; 3 MONTHS AND STILL NOT DRIVABLE. NEED RECALL FOR ESM AND TBS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS & BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGN AND COMPONENTS. THIS IS VERY DISHEARTENING SINCE BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A SMALL BIZ AND ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN AND NOW ADD THE EXPENSE OF DIAGNOSING CHRYSLER'S PROBLEM IS JUST TOO MUCH! I WARRANTY MY WORK, WEAR & TEAR CONSIDERED, AS SHOULD CHRYSLER BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR WORSE- DIES TRYING TO GET TO OUT OF TRAFFIC. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 38,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ALMOST RESULTING IN A FEW ACCIDENTS. I WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WHICH HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEPS THIS YEAR-MAKE-MODEL. THE PART ALONE COSTS OVER $700 AND IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR OVER A MONTH. THERE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL....THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! *TR

VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ACCELERATING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALL OF THE PRND LIGHTS SWITCHED TO HAVING A SQUARE AROUND THEM, NORMALLY, ONLY THE TRANSMISSION POSITION THAT YOU ARE IN WILL HAVE THE SQUARE AROUND THEM. WHILE GOING 20MPH THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ONCE UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HAD TO PUT ON HAZARDS AND HAD TO TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO MOVE AGAIN - WAS AT LEAST 45 SECONDS WITH NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES SO FAR. FOUR TIMES I WAS GOING BETWEEN 15-20, AND ONCE GOING 50. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHEN THIS OCCURS TOO. FOUR OF THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED I JUST MADE A TURN AND STARTED ACCELERATING, AND ONCE I WAS TRAVELING A STRAIGHT PATH.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT WHEN EXIT AND ALSO FAILED TO SECURE THE BELT PROPERLY. SOMETIMES, IT STUCK AND HAD TO EFFORT TO RELEASE THE BELT PROPERLY. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. NOW, THE SEAT BELT RETURNED SAME PROBLEM AS ORIGINAL. I HAVE TO PAY 100 DOLLARS UNDER CONTRACT TO REPLACE IT. IT MAY LAST FOR A YEAR BEFORE HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN AND AGAIN. I WENT TO USED CAR LOT AND SAW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND FOUND OUT THE SEAT BELT WAS LOOSE AND UNABLE TO RETRACT PROPERLY. *TR

THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSES POWER AND ALL THE PRND12 LIGHT UP. SOME DAYS IT WON'T GO INTO DRIVE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPS INTO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IF YOU SLOW DOWN, YOU CAN'T SPEED UP AGAIN, LIKE YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN IT WILL GO OFF AGAIN, MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE NO NOTICE THAT ANYTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU JUST LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY MORE THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN SLOWLY PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN. GAUGES STOPPED WORKING THEN SUDDENLY CAME BACK ON. VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE WITH SHIFTING AND CAR FELT VERY SLUGGISH. OCCURRED 3-4 TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM DESPITE MANY ONLINE REPORTS OF THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, IN THE DARK, MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. REALIZING WHAT AN EXTREME DANGER THE JEEP WAS TO ME AND ALL OTHERS ON THE ROAD I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE JEEP. ITS HAPPENED ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AFTER AND EVERY INSTANCE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION NOR A DIAGNOSIS. *TR

WHEN MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS IN DRIVE, THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND IT'S AS IF THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, ETC. THE DEALER SAYS I NEED A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE TO THE TUNE OF $600+. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I AM LOOKING INTO GETTING JEEP TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PART. *TR

AUTO TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT NOT SHIFTING INTO GEARS CORRECTLY; LOSS POWER AROUND CURVES; SOMETIMES ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON; SOMETIMES ALL GEAR INDICATORS COME ON DASH; FEELS AS THOUGH CAN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ENTERING ONTO HIGHWAY OR PASSING. NOTHING DONE YET. CALLED DEALER, ONLINE SEARCHES. VERY VERY MANY SAME-SIMILAR ONLINE & VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR $700+. APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE PART & SHOULD BE RECALL/DEALER REPLACE/REPAIR!! *TR

1. MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (5.7 HEMI; 64K MILES) WAS DUE FOR A TUNE UP. I PURCHASED REPLACEMENT SPARK PLUGS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS RETAILER AND CHANGED THEM. 2. SUBSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING (APPROX 5 TIMES IN 25 MILES TRAVELED). THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AT STOPLIGHTS AND WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. 3. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AS ENGINE LIGHT HAD ALSO BEEN ON DURING ENTIRE TIME. DEALER WORKED ON TRYING TO FIND PROBLEM FOR 3 WEEKS. AFTER CONSULTING A CHRYSLER ENGINEER THEY FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT THE AFTERMARKET PLATINUM TIP SPARK PLUGS WERE CAUSING INTERFERENCE WITH THE VEHICLE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. DEALER REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. I WENT BACK TO MY PARTS SUPPLIER AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I ALSO NOTIFIED CHRYSLER OF MY COMPLAINT THAT CONSUMERS AND PARTS SUPPLY RETAILERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PARTS INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE THAT THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF BECAUSE IT IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE GEAR SHIFTER MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

CAR WILL DECELERATE, AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO DEPRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, BEGAN TO DESCRIBE ISSUE, WITHOUT DESCRIBING THE MAKE AND MODEL, AND THE REPAIR-SHOP WAS ABLE TO THEN TELL ME THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ME PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSING. (ALREADY HAD GEAR SHIFT MODULE REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AND SINCE THE ISSUE OCCURRED 14 MONTHS LATER, DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO COVER EXPENSE OF REPLACEMENT.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND AS STATED BEFORE, OCCURS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AND THERE ARE NO PRECEDING WARNINGS OR OTHER INDICATORS THAT FORESHADOW THE OCCURRENCE. CAR IS NOW AT 42,000 MILES, YET IT IS IN NEED OF A 3RD SHIFT MODULE, SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO DECLARE A RECALL OR WHEN THE CUSTOMER HAS THE PROBLEM, THEY FIX IT WITHOUT FURTHER EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW, AND ITS MY 4TH ONE, HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE QUALITY OF VEHICLE THEY ARE PRODUCING, AND WILL NOT EVER PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN. *TR

THE TIRE JACK IS UNSTABLE FOR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MINE COLLAPSE AND NOT TALL ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE. I WATCHED A MAN ALMOST GET PINNED BY A JACK FAILURE ON A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. MINE IS A 2007. DOES ANYONE CHECK THIS EQUIPMENT. *TR

2007/ 30 000 MILES. SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSES LOSS OF ACCELERATION BY GOING NEUTRAL OR STICKING IN 1ST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. TYPICALLY, ALL THE LETTERS ARE LIFT PRND SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. STOPPING AND RESTARTING (ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAY DRIVING) SEEMS TO RESET THE SHIFTER. DEALER SAYS ESM PART NO 52124138AD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED AS A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASED JULY 2007. BEGAN STALLING AT 35,000 MILES IN OCTOBER 2009. VEHICLE STALLS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 0 AND 65 MPH.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER AND OTHER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FRONT DESK PERSONNEL STATE VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, OFFICIAL CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN SENT AND COULD ALSO NOT REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. THE SAFETY OF EVERY PERSON IN THIS VEHICLE IS IN RISK OF DANGER IF IT IS USED. VEHICLE LAST RETURNED TO US AND STALLED 14 TIMES WITHIN 150 MILES WHILE IN OUR POSSESSION. VEHICLE CANNOT RUN MORE THAN 22 MILES WITHOUT STALLING RANDOMLY. VEHICLE'S LATEST SYMPTOM IS FAILURE TO RESTART AFTER STALLING AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BEING LIT (ABS, AIRBAG, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC) SIGNIFYING FAILURE IN MULTIPLE SAFETY CRITICAL SYSTEMS. *TR

AFTER READING WHERE MULTIPLE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING FRONT TIRE FAILURE WITH FACTORY TIRES, I HAD MY TIRES CHECKED DURING AN ALIGNMENT. BOTH OF MY FRONT TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING A TREAD SEPARATION FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT, 0 MILES FROM A LOCAL DEALER. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR CORPORATE, WHO SENT ME TO A GOODYEAR DEALER LOCALLY, WHO INSPECTED MY TIRES, INFORMED ME THEY WERE DEFECTIVE, AND OFFERED ME A PRO-RATED REPLACE OF 50% OFF. I FEEL THAT IF A TIRE (OR ANY PRODUCT) HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SUCH AND NOT PRO-RATED. THE TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM DAY ONE, AND IS ONLY SHOWING SUCH AFTER SOME USE. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIRES THAT ARE NOT COMPLETELY USED NOR WORN TO TREADWEAR MARKERS FOR FEAR OF COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE. *TR

UPDATED 11/16/10*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IS STILL NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND STAYS IN FIRST GEAR TOO LONG. UPDATED 11/16/10*JB

CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER SOLENOID WIRE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOW DESIGN DEFECT, BUT SINCE I WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY (37K) I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST. IF THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T IT FIXED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 USED JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM KELLY JEEP ON 3/11/2010, WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 24,758 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED RANDOMLY SEVEN (7) TIMES SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING. THE STALLING OCCURS AFTER A STOP AND THEN ATTEMPTS TO PROCEED INTO A TURN AT LOW SPEED. IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN A RIGHT TURN IS BEING MADE. THE ENGINE STOPS AND ALL ELECTRIC ENERGY ARE LOST, JUST AS THOUGH THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. BRAKING ASSIST AND POWER STEERING ARE LOST. I HAVE PROVIDED THE DEALER A DOCUMENT LISTING AND OBSERVATION OF EACH OF THE SEVEN EVENTS. SEVERAL HAVE PLACES ME IN A COMPRISING POSITION AND IF TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS IS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER IT STOPPED, THE IGNITION TURNED OFF AND PLACED IN PARK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE SITTING AT A DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW HER VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED THROUGH THE PARKING LOT.

SO FAR THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO OPERATE. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE THEN INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED AND IT WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE ANY FAILURE CODES. THE FAILURE RECURRED. AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES YET THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,800.
