2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

TAKATA RECALL ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON FROM BATTERY,CHECK ENGINE,LOW TIRE PRESSURE, CODE READ 0411 & WELL NOT PICK UP SPEED.

2007 JEEP 5.7L. CAR STALLS ON ACCELERATION FROM STOPS. INTERMITTENT. MOSTLY WHEN AIR IS ON. 80 DEGREES AND UP. MOSTLY AFTER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN, THEN PARKED A FEW MINUTES THEN THEN ACCELERATED. SO DANGEROUS. HAVE REPLACED PLUGS AND WIRES, OIL, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR,ASD RELAY FUSE. NOW WHAT? SPENT NOW $ 2000 ON FIXES. DEALER CAN'T SOLVE IT. I READ OTHERS WITH SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME. CODE B2185 IS SHOWING. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE SUED FOR KNOWING THE CAUSE AND NOT FIXING IT DUE TO THE COST. I WANT TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WHILE I AND MY FAMILY ARE STILL ALIVE!

SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND YOU PULL THE LEVER BACK TO DIM THEM TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF TOO, LITERALLY LEAVING YOU IN THE DARK. IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!

ADDENDUM TO COMPLAINT #10991940 FILED 5-27-17. PART NUMBER 5HS27BDXAN. SEE PHOTO BELOW.

USING THE GRAB BAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, PLASTIC COSMETIC HOUSING MOVED AND WAS NO LONGER STABLE. UPON REMOVAL OF THE PLASTIC HOUSING, WE FOUND THE PLASTIC SUPPORT AROUND THE SCREW HAD SPLIT IN HALF, ALLOWING THE UNIT TO MOVE WHEN USED. GRAB BAR IS HEAVILY USED TO ASSIST GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. ORDERED NEW GRAB BAR, A DODGE RAM PICKUP OWNER WAS IN JEEP PARTS DEPT, ORDERING ONE FOR HIS TRUCK. HOW MANY MORE HAVE BEEN REPLACED, NEEDS TO BE STRONGER TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF A DISABLED PERSON GETTING INTO THE CAR/TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING CAR DEVELOPS WOBBLE. ACCELERATING OR PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL HAS NO EFFECT. I REPLACED FRONT ROTORS, CALIPERS AND BRAKE HOSES TO NO AVAIL.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I RECEIVE A LETTER ON THE MAIL FROM JEEP NAMED AS "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION" STATING THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, MORE SPECIFICALLY: UNINTENDED CHANGE IN IGNITION SWITCH POSITION THAT IMPLIES A SAFETY RISK. I WENT ON THE SAFECAR.GOV SITE TO CONFIRM THE STATUS OF MY RECALL AND IT SAYS THAT THERE IS A RECALL IN EFFECT ON MY CAR MODEL BUT UNFORTUNATELY JEEP DOESN'T HAVE THE PART REPLACEMENT YET. I WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED ASAP.

VEHICLE HAD AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL (P41) WHICH WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. AFTER REPLACEMENT PART FAILED AND VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR MARCH 4, 2017. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACED IGNITION COIL HAD FAILED AND THEY WOULD FURTHER REPAIR AS PART OF RECALL. VEHICLE, 7 WEEKS LATER, IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE ESCALATED MY CASE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO JEEP NATIONAL AND VEHICLE STILL NOT REPAIRED WITH NO UPDATE. I WAS INFORMED DURING THIS PROCESS THAT MY CAR IS A "ONE-OFF", THE REPLACEMENT RECALL PART THAT WAS INTENDED FOR MY VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK IN MY VEHICLE AND THAT JEEP IS FURTHER RESEARCHING HOW TO REPAIR. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT DUE TO TIMELINESS OF REPAIR. WHILE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN FREE OF CHARGE, ORIGINAL PART REPLACEMENT TOOK LESS THAN ONE DAY. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN EVALUATING RECALL PART FOR SEVEN WEEKS AND STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION OF WHEN VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED/RETURNED. JEEP ORIGINALLY OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE WHICH I TURNED DOWN AS I WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD BE ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE NOW REQUESTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR A COMPARABLE LOANER VEHICLE WHILE JEEP IS STILL EVALUATING THE REPAIR. JEEP WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE AND I AM TOLD IT IS BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE I UNDERSTAND WARRANTIES, JEEP HAS MY CAR BECAUSE OF FAILED RECALL REPLACEMENT PART AND THEY WILL NOT PUT IN ORIGINAL PART DUE TO RECALL. JEEP ALSO CLOSED OUT THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

TRAVELING ON I 95 . CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SHIFTED INTO A GEAR THAT FELT NEUTRAL. I PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND SLOWLY MOVED OVER. BASICALLY DOVE OFF EXIT IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. OK FOR A WHILE THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. GARAGE SAID THAT PART IS BACK ORDERED WHICH IS ALARMING TO ME. IS THIS A FREQUENT PROBLEM?

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME IN 10 YEARS REPLACING THE GEAR SHIFT IN THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE.. THE GEAR SHIFT GOES OUT EVERY 5 YEARS.. IT STARTS WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THEN ALL THE GEARS HAVE THE CIRCLE AROUND ALL THE GEARS . FOR EXAMPLE IT LIKES LIKE I'M IN DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK AND NEUTRAL. WHEN I'M PARKED. THEN FROM THERE IF I' HAVE TO STOP OR YIELD FOR AND REASON IT'S SOMETIMES HESITANTE TO MOVE. VERY SCARY

LEFT TURN SIGNAL REMAINS ON WITH SWITCH IN NEUTRAL POSITION AT ALL TIMES

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO A POSSIBLE NEW RECALL ON THE 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. ON 9/22/16 THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY FOR 15 SECONDS EVEN WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PADDLE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SOME RECORDINGS AND NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL BE RECORDING MORE FOOTAGE TO SHOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION ON THE 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT AFTER THE RECALL OF P41/NHTSA 14V-438 WAS COMPLETE AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. FIRST THE NEW PART THAT WAS REPLACED CAUSED THE SHORT IN THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THIS WAS FIXED ON MY COST AND NOW THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. HEAD AND PISTON DAMAGE. NORMAL EVERY DAY DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP ENGINE IN THIS CAR THAT BLEW UP AT 70K MILES.

THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS A BATTERY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN DURING A LIGHT RAIN. THE SOLUTION SUGGESTED BY OUR NORMAL MECHANIC (WHO IS VERY GOOD AND HAS SERVICED THE CAR FOR YEARS) WAS TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN IT WAS NOTED THE BATTERY WAS BAD. IT WAS REPLACED SINCE IT WAS THREE YEARS OLD. AFTER THE REPAIR THE CAR STARTED TO DIE INTERMITTENTLY WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO CHECK THE DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID IT APPEARED TO BE POINTING TO THE IGNITION SWITCH (BASED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHART). THE MECHANICS SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING IN THE VEHICLE WHEN HE DROVE IT. SUGGESTED WE TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO HAD REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH TUMBLERS DURING THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE LAST NOVEMBER. THE DEALER WANTED A $85 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO JUST CHECK THE SWITCH. WE RECEIVED A DOWNLOAD OF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES WHICH APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO MULTIPLE FAILURES OF IGNITION MODULES BUT THE DEALER REPORTED HIS SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE TIPM BUT WAS SURE IT WAS NOT THE SWITCH. HE WAS UNABLE TO TELL US WHAT THE FAILURE WAS AND SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR MORE DIAGNOSTICS IF HE WAS TO FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPLACED ALTERNATOR. HOWEVER, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LAST SATURDAY IT DIED AFTER WE STOPPED AT A RAILROAD CROSSING WAITING ON A TRAIN AND THEN TRIED TO CROSS THE TRACKS AFTER THE ARMS HAD G

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V4380000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE MEDIAN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER VARIOUS ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

SOON AFTER THE P41 IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, WHILE DRIVING 1 MILE, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES STOPPED WORKING-SPEEDO, GAS, ETC , ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED . INFORMATION MESSAGES IN THE IC NOTED "SERVICE REQUIRED : AND TRANSMISSION -OVER THE TEMPERATURE ALLOWED U1403,U1411,U110E, U110F AND OTHERS ALL IMPLAUSIBLE SIGNALS TO IC. WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION AN ROAD SPEED DECREASED IMMEDIATELY WHILE AT SPEED AND ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO NOT OPERATE IN A PREDICTABLY SAFE OPERATION.

I OWN A 07 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 5.7L V8 HEMI. I LOVED THAT TRUCK AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF IT. NEARLY 10 MONTHS AGO I HAD A VALVE SEAT DROP WITHOUT WARNING AT 92K MILES AND NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE AND I KEPT VERY GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES I STOPPED AT A STORE TO GET MATERIALS, WHEN I RETURNED AND TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT HASN'T STARTED SINCE THAT DAY. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND $150 LATER THEY LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY "THOUGHT" THE ISSUE WAS, BUT I WAS STILL INFORMED THE ONLY WAY TO CONFIRM I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WAS TO CHARGE ME $1,500 TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART AND "DIAGNOSE" THE ISSUE, NOT FIX IT. THEY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND STILL TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. ON TOP OF THAT EVERY CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AND MAINTENANCE PERSON I'VE TALKED TO ABOUT THIS ISSUE (4) HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL, TO THE POINT OF BEING RUDE. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER, I WAS QUOTED NEARLY $8,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GUARANTEE THE ISSUE WON'T OCCUR AGAIN SINCE THEY HAVE THE SAME PARTS. I SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THAT AMOUNT OF WORK, SO NOW I'M JUST MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEAD TRUCK THAT'S OF NO USE TO ME. FCA IS A JOKE OF A COMPANY, AND THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HESITATE, SHOOK, AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS LATER. THE CONTACTED INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME AND EVENTUALLY FAILED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. UPDATED 10/18/16*LJ *TR

THE TRANS STRUGGLES TO SHIFT THROUGH EVERY GEAR AND WONT SHIFT PAST 3RD GEAR, SOMETIMES EVEN STALLING ME IN TRAFFIC. FEELS LIKE IT DOESN'T CATCH THE NEXT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV AS IF IT'S IN NEUTRAL, BUT IT'S NOT. THEREFORE, THE ACCELERATION IS VERY WEAK. WHEN SWITCHING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, IT EITHER DOESN'T FULLY CLICK INTO DRIVE OR IT SELECTS ALL GEARS (PRND) IN WHICH I THEN HAVE TO PARK THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF, THEN RETRY A MINUTE LATER. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS A MANUAL SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR IT TO STALL, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THE ISSUE STEMS FROM THE MAIN COMPUTER IN THE SHIFTER MODULE. AT TIMES, IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS EXPECTING ME TO SHIFT IT FROM GEAR TO GEAR, THEN IT FINALLY CLICKS AND MOVES TO THE NEXT GEAR ON ITS OWN.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TWICE. THE RPMS WERE 6000 OR 7000.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE DEALER REFUSED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TWO WEEKS DUE TO THE VOLUME OF REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 148,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE TRANSFER CASE ON MY VEHICLE (2007 JEEP SRT) WENT OUT. I TOOK TO TWO REPAIR SHOPS AND DEALER AND EVERY PLACE INDICATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I THEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND THE CASE MANAGER INDICATED THAT MY COMPLAINT WOULD STAY INTERNAL AND COULD NOT ADVISE ME ON WHERE TO FILE A COMPLAINT FOR A SAFETY OR MECHANICAL DEFECT. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS IT SHOULD GO THE NHTSA. WITH SUCH A COMMON DEFECT AND WITH SUCH A LARGE SCALE ISSUE (DEALERSHIP HAS PART FOR SALE FOR $4000-$6000 NOT INCLUDING LABOR) I DO FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL.

VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION RECALL DONE. IN THE HOT WEATHER, YOU CAN'T RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING AS THE CAR WILL INDISCRIMINATELY STALL WHEN YOU COME TO EITHER A STOP LIGHT OR A YIELD. CAR HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. LAST WEEK, WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, RPMS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN. HAD TO FLOOR THE CAR TO GET GOING AND IT KNOCKED VERY HARD. HAD JEEP DEALER LOOK AT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE THAT JEEP IS NOT ADDRESSING. THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE A FAIR BUY BACK PRICE ON THE CAR, KNOWING WE HAVE A 19 YEAR OLD DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OUR LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CAR AND HE WOULDN'T PUT HIS FAMILY IN IT. JEEP DEALERS DON'T WANT TO FACE THE PROBLEM OR ADDRESS IT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT BECOMES MORE APPARENT IN SUMMER MONTHS OF HOT WEATHER.

THE DIESEL ENGINE JEEP PUT IN GRAND CHEROKEES, THE 3.0 LITRE MERCEDES-BENZ ENGINE, HAS A "SWIRL VALVE" PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE IT TURNED 75,000 MILES. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND GOING UP HILLS. IT ALSO MAKES THE GAS MILEAGE TO PLUMMET. REPAIRS WERE TOLD TO ME BY THE DEALER TO BE $5,800. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS CAR. THE DEALER TOLD US THE ENGINE WOULD GO 300,000 MILES, NO PROBLEM.

TOOK IN JAN '15 FOR RECALLS - THEY ONLY FIXED 1 OF THE 3 (I HAD MADE AN APPT FOR ALL) IN DEC '15 IT KEPT LEAVING ME STRANDED AS THE RECALLS HAD NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY FINALLY FIIXED THE OTHER 2 (SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND IGNITION SWITCH. I CALLED 3 WEEKS AGO AS IT KEPT SAYING "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" AND SEVERAL TIMES SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL LOW.

REAR CORNERS OF THE FUEL TANK CORRODE DUE TO DESIGN OF TANK AND TANK MOUNT, TANK PROTECTION ARMOUR. DIRT, MOISTURE, MUD, ROAD SALT, ETC GET TRAPPED IN BETWEEN STEEL TANK AND STEEL CRADLE AND TANK CORRODES. THIS CAUSES PIN HOLES IN THE TANK, AND EVENTUALLY LARGER HOLES, OR LARGER AREAS OF WEAK CORRODED METAL.

DESIGN TRAPS CRUD BETWEEN THE SKID PLATE AND FUEL TANK. OVER TIME, REMOVES THE PAINT AND CAUSES CORROSION. HOLE IN FUEL TANK CAUSES LOSS OF FUEL.
