AFTER APPLICATION OF SAFETY RECALL N23/ NHTSA 13V-175. REPROGRAM FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE. 2005 - 2010. (WK) JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. 2006 - 2010. (XK) JEEP COMMANDER, THE TRANSFER CASE OF OUR CAR COULD NOT BE SHIFTED OUT OF 4-HIGH TO EITHER NEUTRAL OR 4-LOW. CONSEQUENTLY A MAJOR DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENT HAS BEEN DESTROYED. THIS DEMONSTRATES THE SOFTWARE IS DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND MAY NOT CORRECT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL. THOUSANDS OF JEEP VEHICLES SUBJECTED TO THIS RECALL HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME LOSS OF FUNCTION. HOW DOES NHTSA, OR WE, KNOW THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY FIXED? IT IS OBVIOUS THE SOFTWARE USED IN THIS RECALL WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO SUFFICIENT TESTING TO VALIDATE IT. I THEREFORE FEAR MY CAR IS JUST AS LIABLE TO HAVE A SAFETY DEFECT NOW AS IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL. I WILL CONTINUE TO RETURN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED COSTING THEM TIME AND MONEY AS I WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR ANY FURTHER SERVICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT VIOLENT WOBBLING INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVEN AT SPEEDS 30-MPH & GREATER. VEHICLE IS NEVER USED OFF ROAD. JEEP HAS BEEN IN SHOP 56-DAYS CUMULATIVE SINCE AUG 09, JEEP KEEPS SAYING PARTS ARE BACKORDERED. I PICKED UP CAR TWO TIMES AFTER REPAIRS & HAD TO BRING VEHICLE BACK TO JEEP WITHIN A DAY BOTH TIMES BECAUSE PROBLEM RECURS. DEALER HAS CHARGED FOR 3 SEPARATE REPAIRS AND PROBLEM IS STILL NOT CORRECTED. I PAID FOR FIRST REPAIR A FRONT END BUSHING OUT OF POCKET $220.00 TO FIX THIS WOBBLE, WHICH DIDN'T RESOLVE ISSUE. MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY THEN PAID JEEP FOR A NEW DRIVE SHAFT REPLACEMENT $1,348.00 TO FIX THE WOBBLE, WHICH DIDN'T RESOLVE ISSUE. MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY THEN PAID JEEP $2,165.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER TO FIX THE WOBBLE AND TOLD JEEP THEY HAD TO GUARANTEE THE REPAIR OR WOULD NEED REIMBURSEMENT. JEEP REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER AND INSURANCE PAID THEM FOR REPAIR. I HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 24-HOURS AND WOBBLE OCCURRED AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40-MPH. CAR IS NOW BACK AT JEEP SERVICE AS OF 10/05/13. I HAD BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM CHRYSLER JEEP. IT HAS ALWAYS ONLY BEEN USED FOR HOME PRIVATE USE. ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE JEEP PARTS. EVEN THE TIRES WHEN REPLACED ARE THE SAME EXACT MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAD CAME WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS FIRST BOUGHT. JEEP LAST SAID BEFORE I PICKED UP CAR AFTER THEY REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER THAT THEY DROVE CAR 100 MILES AND DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE WOBBLE AGAIN. AFTER I PICKED UP CAR WOBBLE OCCURRED IN LESS THAN 24-HOURS / UNDER 30-MILES OF DRIVING. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK JEEP WAS UPSET AND SAID THEY DIDN'T FEEL IT BEFORE I PICKED IT UP AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REIMBURSE MY INSURANCE IF THIS WASN'T FIXED. NOW WHAT? THE CAR IS NOW BACK AT JEEP SINCE YESTERDAY OCT 06. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR THAT I AM USING. *TR

PROBLEM: EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OF FRONT END FIRST NOTICED WHEN INCREASING UP TO SPEED ENTERING 55 MPH HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT THE JEEP TO THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A FRONT END ISSUE AND THEY NEEDED TO ORDER PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PREPAY FOR THE PARTS , WHICH I DID. THE PARTS ORDERED AND REPLACED WERE; STEERING RACK AND BOTH TIE RODS. THESE WERE REPLACED ON 8/20/13. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED, EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHILE GETTING UP TO SPEED ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALER, THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEY ASKED ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. THERE WERE AT THE LEAST TWO TIMES I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE MY JEEP WITH THEM SO THEY COULD DRIVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS. THEY CLAIM THE ISSUE NEVER AROSE. 2 YEARS LATER AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OCCASIONALLY. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN WHAT ALLEVIATES IT IS IF I STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND START AGAIN. THE DEALER DOES HAVE THE RECORDS OF MY NUMEROUS VISITS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED.

HE SAID THAT A MODULE WAS FAULTY IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND WAS PUTTING THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THIS INFORMATION SO OTHERS WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLS LIKE SOMEONE TURNS THE KEY OFF, NO CODES, DEALER REPLACED COILS,PSM,SPARK PLUGS,CRANK SENSOR AND SOLENOIDS, STILL STALLS AND IS VERY SCARY IN TRAFFIC. DEALER SAID THAT HE GIVES UP AND CANT FIGURE IT OUT AND TO TRADE IT IN. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER SWITCH GEARS FROM FIRST TO SECOND. I WAS ON FREEWAY IN CONSTRUCTION AREA THAT WAS DOWN TO ONE LANE AND COULD NOT PULL OVER FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MILES. NOT HAPPY AT ALL SINCE THE VEHICLE (2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILES FOR A POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, BUT RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL AND A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE ONE AT THAT. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE DEALER. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR. WHEN MAKING THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THEY AGREED TO LOOK AT IT. ONCE I DROVE OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE CASE SINCE THERE IS NO FIX YET AVAILABLE. I'M NOT HAPPY THAT THEY EVEN WOULD LOOK. SO I FEEL THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT IN A REASONABLE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THEIR IS NO FIX YET, BUT TO NOT EVEN LOOK BROTHERS ME. I'M A MOTHER OF THREE WITH ONE MORE ON THE WAY AND I WISH MY DEALER WOULD OF EVEN LISTEN AND LOOKED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP TO 45 WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR FULLY AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE JUST KEPT LOSING POWER. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED FROM START TWICE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT AROUND 60 MPH WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS IS IF I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND TURN IT BACK ON. THEN THE CAR DRIVES NORMALLY. I BOUGHT THE CAR 10 DAYS AGO WITH 82500 MILES ON IT. IT'S ALREADY ACTING UP. *TR

VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHEN MERGING WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC; NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED TO REGAIN POWER; LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOMETIMES; FINALLY, WON'T GO OVER 30 MPH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM PORTFOLIO. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER'S (AUTO WORLD - PATCHOGUE NY) SHOP (GENERATION KIA - MEDFORD NY) 03 JUN 2013, WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO BRING IT TO A JEEP DEALER. I WAS TOLD VERBALLY THAT THE FAULT WAS THE TRANSMISSION INPUT SPEED SENSOR. ON 05 JUN 2013 I WENT TO BROWN'S JEEP IN PATCHOGUE NY AND THEY WON'T COMMIT TO ANYTHING OR GIVE ME A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE SERVICE IS APPROVED BY PORTFOLIO. FROM THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT ROUGH SHIFTING UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, BUT WAS TOLD AT BROWN'S JEEP THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS OK. I HAVE NOTICED SOME SERVICE BULLETINS FOR 'DRIVABILITY' CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSIONS HAD BEEN ISSUED IN SOME STATES. A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, MAYBE A RECALL IS OVERDUE! THANK YOU! *TR

A WEEK AGO BEFORE INCIDENT, POWER STEERING PUMP FLUID LEVEL SHOWED NORMAL. ABOUT 63 MILES LATER, THE VEHICLE GOT STEERING WHEEL BECOME STIFF AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN EITHER DIRECTION. THEN ENGINE OVERHEATED VERY QUICKLY AND THEN ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS NO "ENGINE CHECK" WARNING ON INSTRUMENT. A/C STOPPED WORKING JUST BEFORE OVERHEATED. FOUND ANTIFREEZE SOLUTION LEAKED OUT INTO STREET SURFACE. NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE HAD TO TOW AND DELIVERED TO JEEP DEALER SANE DATE AS INCIDENT. THEY INFORMED ME ABOUT PROBLEM WAS FAILED POWER STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY BECAUSE OF FLUID LEAKED. THAT SAME PUMP ALSO DRIVE TWIN COOLING FANS INSTEAD OF ELECTRIC MOTOR. I LEARNED CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND THEN REDESIGNED LATER MODEL QUIETLY. I ALSO FOUND MANY INCIDENT FROM ONLINE FORUM AS SO MANY OWNERS HAVE SAME KIND OF EXPERIENCE. THERE WAS NO RECALL FROM CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT RELATED TO NEAR LOCK-UP STEERING WHEEL. IF I DRIVE OVER 65 MPH ON I-95 WOULD LEAD LOST CONTROL WITH STEERING WHEEL. NO COMPUTER SYSTEM DETECT THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SENSOR TO WATCH FOR FLUID LEVEL IN THE STEERING PUMP. NO WARNING AT ALL UNTIL INCIDENT. PAID 100 DOLLARS FOR LIFETIME SERVICE CONTRACT THROUGH CHRYSLER. THIS SITUATION, CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL TO PREVENT LOST STEERING CONTROL AND AVOID ENGINE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE. THEY AVOID TO USE ELECTRIC COOLING FANS TO SAVE MONEY. USE HYDRAULIC FROM POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NOT SMART WAY INCLUDED LACK OF SENSOR(S) FOR COMPUTER FOR EARLY WARNING. THIS KIND OF INCIDENT, MUST RECALL TO CORRECT THE SITUATION AS I ASKED THEM IF NEW POWER STEERING PUMP HAD BEEN UPDATED. NO ANSWER THIS QUESTION AND LEARNED THE PUMP MADE BY TOYOTA AND THERE ARE MANY OWNERS AS MENTIONED ABOVE THAT FACE UNEXPECTEDLY FAILURES. THIS INCIDENT CONSIDER AS DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO OWNER/PASSENGER(S) SAFETY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON RT 66 W IN PW COUNTY VA DURING RUSH HOUR TRAVELING AT 70+ MPH THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED, THE RED LIGHT INDICATING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED SPEED TO 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT RESPOND THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE BEING PUSHED TO FLOOR. CARS BEHIND ME DROVE OFF IN THE MEDIAN TRYING TO AVOID ME NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR CHAIN REACTION. SO FAR I HAVE SPENT $4000+ IN REPAIRS AND CAUSE CANNOT BE FOUND. THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE VARIOUS INTERNET BLOGS. IT APPEARS THAT THE MERCEDESBENZ AND CHRYSLER 300 CRD HAVING THIS SAME ENGINE HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO SAME SYMPTOMS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY AND THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED ERRONEOUSLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH.

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

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE MERGING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER. ALL POWER ASSIST SYSTEMS (BRAKES, STEERING) FAILED; RESTART FROM NEUTRAL WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND REQUIRED FULL POWER-OFF IN PARK. UPON RESTART, THE MIL WAS CLEAR. *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

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

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

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

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 ##

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 STATED IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE. SHE THEN WENT ON TO SAY I SHOULD HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO JEEP FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. IT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK AND HAS LEFT ME AND MY 4 YR OLD STRANDED. IT SEEMS LIKE ANYTIME THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP AND EVERYONE ELSE'S ITS ALWAYS DURING COLD WINTER MONTHS. FRUSTRATED AND STRANDED. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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

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 COVERED, THE POWETRAIN WARRANTY ON THESE WAS EXTENDED TO LIFETIME, ORIGINAL OWNER ONLY! *TR

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

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE SO IT HAD TO ROLL TO A STOP. AFTER, I COULD NOT RESTART IT. WE HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALER. THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS THEN AND THEY'D CALL US WHEN IN. THEY NEVER DID. A YEAR GOES BY AND THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 WEEKS AGO. IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX IT. THE DEALER SAID THEN TO WRITE JEEP AND COMPLAIN. *TR
