I HAVE A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 AND THE FRONT TWO TIRES HAVE BLOWN OUT WITH ONLY 12K MILES ON THEM TWICE. ONCE AT 12K AND AGAIN AT 24K. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2006 FOR 2006 SRT8 MODELS BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2007 MODEL YEAR. THESE TIRE HAVE BEEN DETERMINED UNSAFE IN 2006, BUT THE SAME TIRES AND PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING IN 2007. I HAD 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS DONE AND BOTH WERE OK. IT IS A TIRE ISSUE THAT KEEPS COSTING ME MONEY AND THE RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE TIRE IS A GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A 255-45-R20 RUNFLAT TIRE. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE LOSING POWER BUT NOT ACTUALLY SHUTTING OFF. AT OTHER TIMES IT ACTS LIKE IT IS HANGING IN 1ST GEAR. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT HAS NEARLY GOTTEN ME HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR NEARLY REARENDED. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT 3 TIMES BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYLER TO FIX PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CONTINUES TO STALL (TOTAL LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL) WHEN DRIVING. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM COASTING. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AFTER REPEATEDLY HAVING THIS HAPPEN, BUT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE ITSELF. I SEE NOW THIS STALLING PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ON OTHER MODEL JEEPS, SOMETHING THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT BOTHER TO MENTION. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE WATER ENTERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DAMPENED THE FRONT FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THIS FAILURE APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWELVE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER FINALLY CONCLUDED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DESIGNED TO WORK IN THAT MANNER. THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAS A VIDEO AND PICTURES AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. NO PRIOR PROBLEMS - DRIVING TO A VACATION DESTINATION ON US 95, HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR @ 3 HOURS - TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND ENGINE SHUT OFF, LEAVING ME WITHOUT ANY CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE- LUCKILY, WAS ABLE TO STEER TO SHOULDER - WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR WITHIN 5 MINUTES, HOWEVER THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN TWICE MORE DURING THIS TRIP UNDER THE SAME SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES-JUST TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR; AGAIN LEFT WITHOUT ABILITY TO CONTROL AUTO. REACHED MY DESTINATION POINT AND BROUGHT CAR TO NEAREST DEALER - RECEIVED A CALL THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND THAT THE INTEGRATED AUTO COMPUTER PROGRAM FAILED AND THE COMPUTER PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND RE-INSTALLED. DEALER NOTED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS ISSUE OCCURRING TO OTHER '07 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, BUT CHRYSLER WAS NOT ISSUING A RECALL. IT WAS MERE LUCK THAT I AVOIDED ANY ACCIDENTS. *TR

BOUGHT GRAND CHEROKEE BRAND NEW, STARTED LEAKING FROM TWO AREAS IMMEDIATELY. FIRST SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THERE WERE NO LEAKS, AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FIXED ONE LEAK, STILL REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE SECOND LEAK. *TR

I AM DRIVING A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE 3.0 L DIESEL ENGINE. COMPLAINT: WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT LANE MY JEEP STALLED AND AS I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE LANES I ALMOST GOT HIT. I LOST POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER THE CAR AND ENDED UP HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR WITH SOME HELP TO THE CURBSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I KNOW THE JEEP HAS A MERCEDES BENZ ENGINE JUST LIKE OTHER MERCEDES THAT NOW I HAVE ALSO HEARD 2007 MERCEDES BENZES WITH THE SAME EXACT DIESEL ENGINE HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE NOTE THAT JEEP, WITH THE SAME ENGINE IS HAVING SAME ENGINE PROBLEM AND PLEASE RECALL SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT IN DANGER. IT WAS A VERY SCARY DAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR LOST MY LIFE OR MY CHILDS LIFE OR ANOTHER FAMILY. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS ENGINE ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 05/19/08 *BF THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. UPDATED 05/19/08

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES ON HIGHWAY, THEN TURNING ONTO LOCAL STREETS, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD LIT UP, MESSAGE BOARD FLASHED "TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP" WARNING, THEN "CHECK GAUGES" WARNING. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE, NO GAUGES WORKED, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER. ONCE SHUT OFF, VEHICLE TOOK A WHILE BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECENT RECALL OF THIS ENGINE BY MERCEDES BENZ (3L CRD ENGINE). CHRYSLER WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDENSER, LOCATED BELOW THE CENTER OF THE BUMPER, HAS A VERY LARGE OPENING. THE LARGE OPENING ALLOWED A ROCK OR SOME OTHER FOREIGN LARGE PARTICLE TO PUNCTURE THE AIR CONDENSER. AS A RESULT, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE FAILED COMPONENT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,000.

THE VEHICLE TENDS TO LAG OR STALL DURING NORMAL DRIVING TIMES. IF YOU ACCELERATE THEN LET OFF THE GAS, THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND. IT IS LIKE THERE IS A DEAD PEDAL. IT TAKES ROUGHLY A SECOND FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND, WHICH ISN'T THAT LONG UNTIL YOU CONSIDER AT NORMAL IN-TOWN SPEEDS, YOU CAN GO ALMOST 100 FEET IN A SECOND. JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET PLOWED IN TO! *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, NEW, 6,000 MILES, STALLED AT STOP LIGHT. *TR

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED THE CONTACT TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CONTACT HIT A RCOK WALL,THE CONTACT HIT A PICKUP AT AN ANGLE ON THE FRONT LEFT FENDER AND THE WALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE IMPACT PUSHED THE PICKUP INTO A LEXUS SUV.THE CONTACTS AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP.TWO POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED ON THE SCENE.

THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS.THE CONTACT LATER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE 06V493000 FOR THE BRAKES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4071.

JEEP DISCONTINUED AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP LEVEL POSITION SYSTEM DURING EARLY OF 2007 WITHOUT EXPLAINING. EVERYTIME, I TOW AND THEN HEADLAMP HAD BLINDED SEVERAL INCOMING VEHICLES. IT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR CHRYSLER DO THAT SITUATION. I WAS TOLD DUE SHORTAGE OF PARTS AND THEY DECIDED TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION BY DISCONTINUED FOR A TEMPORARY BASIS. I FEEL THEY SHOULD PUT THE SYSTEM BACK ON 2007 MODELS FOR SAFETY PURPOSE DURING TOWING. *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE 2007 WK CRD THAT HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR VEHICLE HAS DIED ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. READING ABOUT THIS ON JEEP FORUM, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A TSB RELATED TO A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON WK JEEPS THAT WERE BUILT BEFORE JUNE 12TH, 2007. MY JEEP WAS BUILT IN APRIL, 2007. WHILE MY JEEP HAS NOT STALLED, IT IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND SHE IS FREQUENTLY TRANSPORTING OUR TWO CHILDREN. THE TSB CALLS FOR CHECKING AND REPLACING THE SENSOR IF IT FAILS, BUT I DO NOT FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO JUST DIE WHILE THEY WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY WIFE AND KIDS. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED HIS VEHICLE AND LEARNED THAT THERE WERE TWO BRAKE RECALLS RELATED TO HIS VIN. HE WAS UPSET BECAUSE HE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALLS BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE RECALL NUMBERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN WOULD NOT RESTART. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING SLOWLY APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR THE STALL COULD HAVE LEAD TO A COLLISION. MY 11 MONTH OLD SON WAS WITH ME, AND THEN WE WERE STUCK BLOCKING TRAFFIC AT ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, THE 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CRD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A 5 STAR DEALERSHIP IN ANTIOCH AT AN AUCTION. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH IT WOULD REFUSE TO START. THERE WOULD BE TIMES WHEN I WOULD STOP AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT WORK. SOMETIMES I WOULD BE PUT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS I CALL THE 800 NUMBER AND HAVE JEEP TOW MY CAR, WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN THERE THEY HAVE CHANGED MODULE IN THE ENGINE AND WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TAKEN APART AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN AND IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I BROUGHT UP LEMON LAW, HOWEVER, THEY TELL ME THAT SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER THIS CLAUSE DOES NOT APPLY. *TR

MY JEEP HAS STALLED AND LOST POWER, PUTTING ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

I CALL A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IF THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON THERE'S ON CODE, SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. JEEP ALSO TOLD ME THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, 4.7 ENGINE, VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 75 MPH. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED BOTH DRIVESHAFTS WHICH HELPED SOME.

A DELAYED REACTION APPLICATION OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE GRADUALLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER (AT PLACE OF PURCHASE) STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE BRAND NEW 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DIESEL, I UNLOCKED THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB, OPENED A COUPLE OF THE DOORS AND LOADED MY LUGGAGE, THEN I DID THE KEY SEQUENCE ON THE KEYFOB (LOCK+PANIC) TO TURN OFF THE BEEP WHEN YOU LOCK THE CAR. AFTER ALL THIS I TRIED TO START IT (CORRECT STARTING PROCEDURE - WAIT FOR GLOW LIGHT TO GO OUT) AND THE STARTER CRANKED THE ENGINE WITH NO FIRING AT ALL. I REPEAT AND WAIT 5 TIMES OVER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, IT FAILED TO START EACH TIME. FINALLY AFTER I HAVE WAITED ABOUT 2 MORE MINUTES, I TRIED AGAIN AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

IN MAY 2007 WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C AND BLOWER MOTOR ON OUR VEHICLE. I CONDUCTED RESEARCH AND FOUND THROUGH TECH ADVISORY THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE WERE THE PROBLEM AND WERE BEING REPLACED. I DISCONNECTED THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE AND COULD SEE THE UNIT HAD MELTED AROUND THE WIRE HARNESS PLUG. I DID EXACTLY AS THE TECH ADVISORY RECOMMENDED AND REPLACED THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS PLUG. LESS THAN 70 DAYS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. I PULLED THE BLOWER CONTROL MODULE OUT AND COULD SEE THE NEW MODULE HAD ONCE AGAIN MELTED AROUND THE REPLACED PLUG. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD WARRANTY THE PART AND I JUST NEEDED TO BRING THE ORIGINAL INVOICE AND BAD MELTED BLOWER CONTROL MODULE IN AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A NEW ONE. I DID THAT LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY LOOKED AT THE MELTED BLOWER CONTROL MODULE AND TOLD ME BECAUSE I DID NOT REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MELTED MODULE. I INQUIRED AS TO THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS AS IT REQUIRED PULLING OUT THE ENTIRE DASH TO SIMPLY UNPLUG THE OLD HARNESS AND PLUG THE NEW ONE IN. I WAS TOLD 8 HOURS OF LABOR AND COST OF PARTS FOR THE NEW HARNESS AND BLOWER CONTROL MODULE WHICH WAS ESTIMATED AT $700.00. THE PARTS THEMSELVES ARE LESS THAN $200.00.

I RECENTLY LEASED A NEW 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.7 L , 6 CYLINDERS. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 50 MPH) AND LOCAL SPEED 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AT MORE THAN 20 MPH, AND THE INDICATOR GAUGES SEEM ED STUCK IN PLACE. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NEW YORK CITY ,AND MY FEAR WAS THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE WOULD REAR END MY VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASING LOCATION AT ADDITIONAL COSTS TO US, AND THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE SHIFT CONTROLLER, TRANSMISSION NOT SENDING THE PROPER SIGNAL FOR IT TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SOLENOID, AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THIS WAS LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, AND NOW MY WIFE WAS UNWILLING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 7/9/07. ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I WILL ALSO CONTACT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN THE MORNING.*AK
