A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

It slipped off the brake and after the accelerator and I hit a small Pole stopping me from going into the gas station front door. Just could have been raised up to a work accident I had a couple weeks prior.
I have a warning light telling me to check my gas cap. I check out and nothing seems to be wrong. But I do go through a lot of gas. I don't know if there needs to be a new gas cap put on or if it's part of the fuel system
When I'm driving down the road my car won't shut off. I have to pull over to the side of the road turn my key completely off and take it out put it back in and start it.

And it is saying something about a Anti-Theft ignition problem. My headlights stay on all the time and blink when it is shut off.

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee inside door handles cannot be open any of the doors from the inside you have to open it from the outside because the plastic of the inside door handles are made of cheap plastic and Chrysler knows about it ever since 2005 to 2011 and never had a recall what concerns me with people have small children that you can't get out of the vehicle in a time of the emergency and it really concerns me if the vehicle ever caught on fire or flooded or underwater you can't get out and it's the death trap

When I am driving, all of the lights on my dash come on. Seatbelt, check engine, brakes, low tire pressure etc. The stay on for a couple of seconds. Then EVERYTHING turns off for about half a second. Gas gauge, rpm, speedometer all go down to zero, which is how it is when I turn the jeep off. While I'm still driving and going 45 mph! Then every thing turns back on. It happened about 5 months ago once. Then today it happened about 15 times as I drove home from my mother's house, which is about 7-9 miles from my house.

THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE CAN DIRECT ENGINE POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS ONLY, ALL FOUR WHEELS, OR IN ITS NEUTRAL POSITION, NON AT ALL.

IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, ENGINE POWER WOULD NOT REACH ANY OF THE DRIVE WHEELS AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER WHICH GOVERNS THE TRANSFER CASE TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN.
JEEP IS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT WILL RANDOMLY GO INTO LIMP MODE AT START, BUT TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING IT FIXES THAT ISSUE. IT'S DONE THIS THREE TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS WE HAVE HAD IT. I AM NOW HAVING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE SOMETHING IS CAUSING A DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND NOW THE BATTERY.IT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO SWELL, AND THE JEEP IS HAVING TO BE JUMPED TO START MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. THE BATTERY WAS PUT ON A DEEP CHARGE, AND IT HAD TO BE JUMPED THE NEXT DAY. ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING BACK LIGHTING GOES OFF AND ON WHEN YOU TURN THE KNOBS OR ADJUST THE FAN SPEED WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND STATIONARY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ROUGHLY A MONTH.
