2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

VEHICLE STARTED STALLING, FIRST IT WOULD STALL AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY COMING TO A STOP. NOW THE VEHICLE IS STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LEAVING IT OPEN FOR A DEADLY SITUATION. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON. HAVE TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL TO RESART DURING COASTING BUT YOU NEED TO TURN THE KEY ALL THEY WAY OFF AND THEN RESTART. WILL USUALLY RESTART IMMEDIATELY. CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS, THERE ARE NONE BUT THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING THE POWER CONTROL MODULE OR ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. IF THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING A PART THAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THOSE PARTS. THE WOMAN ON THE PHONE DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED MY VEHICLE WAS STALLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY EVEN AFTER I MENTIONED I JUST HAD A BABY. I HAVE HAD A PRIVATE MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AN NO CODES COME UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER (DID NOT STALL) WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I40 IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE (NO ACCESS TO MEDIAN BECAUSE OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION BARRIERS). ENGINE POWER DID NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OVER 35 MPH. DASH BOARD INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING RED (ETC INDICATOR: ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL). SEVERAL TRACTOR TRAILERS HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. ENGINE IS 3.0L MERCEDES DIESEL. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A FAILED SWIRL MOTOR DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL BLOW BY FROM A DEFECTIVE INTAKE TUBE WITH AN ORANGE GASKET. THIS MERCEDES DIESEL ENGINE WAS USED IN JEEP GR CHEROKEE IN 2007 & 2008. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN NHTSA ITEM #1006202 REGARDING MERCEDES VEHICLES BUT NEVER TO JEEP. THIS SITUATION OF LOSS OF POWER WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING COULD OF BEEN TRAGIC. THIS JEEP 2007 & 2008 PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. WHY IS NHTSA NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT??? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WERE FLASHING ON AND THEN OFF AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT STOPPED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. MY FUEL, TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGES ALSO WENT FROM THE ON TO OFF POSITIONS. I NOTIFIED MY CAR DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID " THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM IF IT DOESN'T PRESENT ITSELF " SO I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. WEEKS HAD PASSED AND THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED AGAIN, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THEN THEY WENT OFF NUMEROUS TIMES, THE GAUGES WENT ON AND OFF ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TAKE OFF ANY UNNECESSARY ITEMS OFF THE KEYRING THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT " I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ON MY KEYRING" THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT PRESENTS ITSELF. I SPOKE TO A MECHANIC WHO HAS 30 YRS OF EXPERIENCE IN AUTO REPAIRS AND ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING. HE TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY THE IGNITION CUT-OFF SWITCH OR SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS THAT WAS CAUSING MY PROBLEMS. HE TOLD ME TO RESEARCH IT ON THE INTERNET. I DID AND I FOUND OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND RESOLVED IT WITH A REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS THIS. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAM SENSORS IN THE ENGINE WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

BEGAN STALLING WHEN STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP WITH FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. ENGINE WOULD START UP JUST BY RESTARTING THE JEEPS. MONTHS LATER SOMETIMES YOU WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF BEFORE IT WOULD START,. ON AVERAGE IT WOULD STALL ONCE EVERY 7 TO 10 DAYS. NO CODES, STORED OR PENDING DURING THIS JOURNEY. REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR. CHECK HOSES FOR VACUUM LEAK, FOUND NONE. REPLACED THE ASD RELAY. CHANGED FROM PREMIUM TO MID GRADE. CHANGED TO REGULAR GRADE. CHECKED AIR FILTER AND CLEANED THROTTLE BODY WITH STP CLEANER. ADDED FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER TO FUEL TANK. CHECKED ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC CONNECTORS, NONE LOOSE OR DAMAGED. CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL WAS FINE. REPLACED MAP SENSOR AND POSITION CRANK SENSOR. REPLACE EGR VALVE CHANGED OIL AND FILTER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE JEEP. USED SAE 5W30. WITH 79,000 MILES ON THE HEMI I REPLACED ALL SIXTEEN CHAMPION 570 WITH NEW CHAMPION 570. SPRAYED EACH OF THE 16 BOOTS WITH ELECTRONIC CLEANER VERIFIED THE PLUG GAP AND TORQUED THE PLUGS. SPRAYED VAST AMOUNT OF STP THROTTLE BODY CLEANER IN THE TB AND STP FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER IN THE GAS TANK. STILL STALLING. *TR

THE PLASTIC INTERIOR DOOR PANEL SUPPORTING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON ALL FOUR DOORS HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN. ONE OF THE REAR DOOR HANDLES DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR DUE TO THE BROKEN INTERIOR DOOR PANEL POSING A SAFETY RISK TO THE PASSENGER POTENTIALLY TRAPPING THEM INSIDE THE CAR. ALL FOUR INTERIOR PANELS ARE BREAKING IN THE SAME MANNER WHICH IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, NOT USER ERROR. *TR

FOR A COUPLE YEARS MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL EPISODES OF IGNITION SHUT OFF. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH JEEP, ONLY SOME DODGE MODELS. I PAID TO HAVE A 2ND COMPUTERIZED KEY MADE AT THE DEALERSHIP, AS DODGE WAS SAYING THEIR ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE DRIVER HAVING OTHER KEYS ON IGNITION KEY RING. THIS WAY I HAD A SINGLE IGNITION KEY. STILL EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE. LAST TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A SUBDIVISION ON TO A BUSY 2 LANE HWY WITH A POSTED SPEED OF 50 MILES PER HR. IGNITION SHUT OFF AS I STARTED TO CROSS THE RIGHT HAND LANE. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH FORWARD MOMENTUM TO CLEAR TRAFFIC AND CAME TO REST ON THE LEFT HAND SHOULDER BY A FARMERS FIELD. I FINALLY RECEIVED IN THE MAIL THE OFFICIAL CHRYSLER RECALL NOTICE FOR MY JEEP DUE TO IGNITION SHUT OFF. CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER THIS MORNING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, ALTHOUGH THE RECALL SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. WITH SEVERAL INCIDENTS, I FELT TIME WAS CRITICAL. MY DEALER ADVISED ME THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER AND THEREFORE COULD NOT SCHEDULE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. IF HOWEVER I WANTED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR THEY COULD SCHEDULE. I ADVISED THEM THAT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE. EMAILED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND HERE ALSO, MY DISSATISFACTION AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WONTON DISREGARD FOR HUMAN SAFETY BY A MANUFACTURE AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WILL BE GOING 70 MPH OR 15 TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THEN IT STALLS OUT AND WON'T ACCELERATE. I WILL PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT WILL CORRECT ITSELF MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE CONDUCTED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND REPLACED SOME ELECTRICAL WIRING AND IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. NOW JUST LAST FRIDAY (20 APRIL 2012), I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED BECAUSE THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 2.5 RPMS AND 10 MPH. LUCKILY THE CAR HEADING STRAIGHT FOR ME SLOWED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR ON COMING 55 MPH TRAFFIC. I LOOKED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND AN UNGODLY AMOUNT OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER YESTERDAY (23 APRIL 2012) AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE. I WAS GETTING CODES U0404 AND U0103. IT COST $1051.50 TO FIX. I CHECKED ON-LINE AFTER, AND THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAID THAT THE JEEP MECHANICS WOULD RECOMMEND EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD JUST BREAK AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER. ONE MAN EVEN NOTED THAT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED OVER 1,000 OF THOSE IN HIS SHOP ALONE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! JEEP OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THIS IS GOING ON. *TR

THIS SECOND EVENT, DRIVING 2007 JEEP SRT8 ON SIDE STREET, TIRE PRESSURE WENT ABRUPTLY TO ZERO AS STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING VEHICLE TO VEER OFF ROAD AND ONTO SHOULDER AND GRASS. UPON REMOVAL OF LEFT FRONT TIRE, TREAD SEPARATION CRACKS WERE APPARENT, SOME AS LONG AS 1-1 1/2 INCHES, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH SEPARATED THROUGH TO AIRLOCK. INNER EDGE OF TIRE VERY MUSHY ALONG 14-16 INCHES OF WHERE SEPARATION OCCURRED. THIS EVENT IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO AN OCCURRENCE THAT HAPPENED SEPTEMBER 2011 ON THE SAME VEHICLE, REAR TIRE DISPLAYED SEPARATION ON INNER EDGE OVER LARGE AREA. TIRE DEALER ADVISED LIKELY DUE TO POTHOLE, WHICH WAS NOT AN EXPERIENCED EVENT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VEHICLE JUST RANDOMLY STALLS, SHUTS OFF AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF AND ON QUICKLY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN GOING SLOW AROUND A TURN OR MAKING ANY TURNS, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN IT STALLS. THIS WILL ALSO HAPPEN WHEN IDLING IN PARK OR WHEN SITTING AT STOPLIGHTS. *TR

JEEP DOES NOT START. MESSAGE SAYING TRANSMISSION TEMP OVER. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4.. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW PANEL FOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW GOES DOWN BUT NOT UP AND STOPS MID WAY AND GOES BACK DOWN. I JUST HAD MY STARTER REPLACE DUE TO CORROSION OF THE CONNECTORS, AND DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE CONNECTORS, JUST BRUSHED OFF AND STATED I NEED NEW STARTER.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND THEN THE SPEED BEGAN TO REDUCE TO 20 MPH UNINTENDEDELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFT CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 5.7 L HEMI. IT DROVE JUST FINE FOR THE 1ST FEW WEEKS OF OWNING IT. RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED STALLING WHEN AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS, WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE IN REVERSE. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP A FEW TIMES ALREADY. IT HAS BEEN THROWING OFF CODES OF P0884 AND P0688. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED US THAT THOSE CODES STAND FOR POWER UP AT SPEED (P0884) AND ASD RELAY (P0668). WE HAVE JUST CHANGED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND ARE NOW IN THE MIDST OF CHANGING OUT THE COILS EVERYTIME THE JEEP STALLS, WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR JUST A FEW DAYS AND ARE NOW ON #5 OF 8 AND IT IS NOT WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RUN OUT OF IDEAS AS TO HOW TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE READ REVIEWS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES WITH NO RESOLVE. WE HAVE ALSO READ SOME REVIEWS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND STATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I AS A CONSUMER FIND THIS WRONG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL COULD SAVE LIVES ON THE ROAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED/RESOLVED. I HAVE NOW WRITTEN DOWN THE NUMBERS AND ADDRESS TO CONTACT CHRYSLER/JEEP AND WILL BE CONTACTING THEM IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, IN THE MEAN TIME THIS IS WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO. THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE STALL OUT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, OR WHEN IDLING STATIONARY. COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING. SEEMS THESE STALLING PROBLEMS ARE COMMON WITH 5.7 HEMI JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES, EVEN ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST DURING A STALL. AN INOPERATIVE VEHICLE IN A TRAFFIC LANE COULD SUFFER A REAR-END COLLISION FROM THIS CONDITION. PLEASE HELP BY ORDERING A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER COMPANY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. NOTHING SEEMS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION AND IT KEEPS OCCURRING. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND IN JUNE OF 2011 WITH 52095 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH OF 2012, I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST OF MANY STALLS HAPPEN TO THE JEEP WITH 60,980 MILES ON IT. IT HAS RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE STALL OUTS THAT HAPPENED THROUGH OUT THE YEAR. IT SEEMS TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING HOWEVER NOT ALL THE TIME. IT'S STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (MASS PIKE OR RT. 9) AND ON SIDE ROADS. I HAVE NOT OBSERVED ANY PRECURSORS TO THE STALLING. WHEN IT STALLS, IT BUCKS AND THEN THE JEEP DOES NOT ACCELERATE HOWEVER THE LIGHTS COME ON, JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MANUAL VEHICLE IS STALLED. THESE TYPES OF STALL OUTS I EXPERIENCE DO NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES IS THE JEEP WILL BUCK, LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL, BUT IT DOESN'T AFTER SLAMMING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER A STALL OUT, I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE JEEP AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON, JUST THE OIL LIGHT. THIS JEEP HAS HAD THE IGNITION CONNECTOR AND SOFTWARE REPLACED TWICE IN OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE OF A STORED CODE: FCMCGW B2185 . THERE ARE TWO OTHER CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER: PCM P0884 AND ABS C12K. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO DAN'S JEEP IN WESTBOROUGH, MA SINCE THE FIRST STALL OUT TO THE PRESENT. THE RECENT STALL OUT WAS FRIDAY, JANUARY 11TH. THIS STALL OUT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE "PROGRAMMING ASSESS" (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH A BLINKING RED LIGHT. EVERYTIME I BRING THE JEEP TO DAN'S, THEY GIVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM...THEY DON'T' KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND I CAN START REPLACING PARTS TO SEE IF IT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO JUST KEEP REPLACES PARTS TO SEE IF IT'LL CORRECT THIS SERIOUS AND UNSAFE PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT REPORTED HOW TO FIX THIS OR MADE THE STEP FORWARD TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, HOWEVER, WE HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER TWO YEARS AGO REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER IF IT IS NOT REPLACED. WE HAVE BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP BUTTON MOTORS IN KOKOMO INDIANA AS WELL AS THE CHRYSLER TOLL FREE NUMBER TO GET THIS WORK DONE BUT THEY TELL US THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PART. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN BEFORE THIS WORK GETS DONE. IT'S AMAZING THAT WHENEVER WE HAVE WORK DONE ON THIS VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE WITHIN A DAY OR TWO BUT WHEN IT COMES TO RECALLS IT TAKES TWO YEARS??? SERIOUSLY. CAN YOU PLEASE HELPS EXPEDITE THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DEVELOPS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS P41/NHTSA 14V-438. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN IDLING AT RED LIGHTS AND OCCASIONALLY SHUTS DOWN SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH THE HEMI V8 ENGINE AND IT IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MATTER. THERE IS AN ENTIRE THREAD ABOUT THIS AT HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/. *TR

WAS PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED TO FOURTH GEAR WITHOUT TOUCHING SHIFT LEFT LEVER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOW AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY, LUCKILY THEY SWERVED AROUND ME. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF SAME PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING OUT OF CONTROL. IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR AN ALERT DRIVER THE SITUATION MIGHT HAVE TURNED OUT DIFFERENTLY FOR MY FAMILY AND I. JEEP NEEDS TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. *TR

WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY AND ACCELERATED UP TO 60MPH WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO SECOND GEAR AND REFUSED TO SHIFT. I COULDN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN "LIMP" VERY ROUGHLY TO THE SHOULDER. IF PEOPLE HADN'T SLOWED DOWN I WOULD HAVE BEEN BUSTED FROM SEVERAL POINTS. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAPPENS WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ALL THE TIME AND THAT THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE ESM BUT STATED THAT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY'VE REPLACED THOUSANDS ONLY TO HAVE IT RECUR MONTHS LATER. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. *TR

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN THE VEHICLE DIES GOING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE THE VEHICLE DIES IT IS EASILY RESTARTED ONCE STOPPED AND THEN DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO SYMPTOMS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED BUT RATHER HAPPENS RANDOMLY. MY MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND A SOLUTION AS THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO PROBLEMS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT FOR NO REASON WILL END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SOONER OR LATER. *TR

I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAKE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FIRST IS THAT THE ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS. MOST OF THE TIME IT STALLS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. SOMETIMES IT STALLS AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. WHEN STOPPED, SOMETIMES I HEAR A "THUNK" RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLS LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO GO INTO GEAR. IT HAS DONE THIS RUNNING IN PARK AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED WHILE IN DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED ON ME IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS PUTTING ME IN UNSAFE SITUATIONS. TURNING THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON WILL RESTART IT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY GETS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN A LOT OF POWER HAS BEEN APPLIED FROM STOP. BUT IT ALSO HAPPENS RANDOMLY. WHEN IT OCCURS, I PULL OVER AND STOP THE ENGINE TURNING THE KEY ALL THE WAY OFF. USUALLY WHEN I RESTART IT WILL GO BACK TO DRIVE AND ALL THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE ISSUE IS SO CHRONIC NOW WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT IT IMMEDIATELY GOES INTO 4TH AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW. THE DEALER PULLED CODES AND RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK. THIS PART IS CURRENTLY ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THERE IS NO ETA OF WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE DEALER. ALSO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS PART WILL FIX THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IF IT DOESN'T, THE VEHICLE WILL REQUIRE A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE STALLING PROBLEM UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THE STALLING PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS AND I CANNOT CONFIDENTLY USE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FEARING PUTTING CHILDREN IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BY CHRYSLER ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

AFTER A SNOW STORM I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING, WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AT THE DRIVER SIDE A-PILLAR AND AT THE SCREWS HOLDING IN THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE WATER CONTINUED TO TRAVEL DOWN THE A-PILLAR DOWN BY THE DOOR TO THE FLOOR CAUSING A PUDDLE BY THE FOOT PEDALS. *TR

MY JEEP WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOT SOON AFTER STARTING SO THE ENGINE IS NOT COOL. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE TWICE WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS NOT HESITATION OR SPUTTERING, YOU JUST FEEL YOU ARE DECELERATING AND THEN YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION OR POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND EXTREMELY WORRIED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. OTHER TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED ON SECONDARY ROADS AND I HAVE HAD TO PARK IT AND THEN RESTART IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STARTS AND I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE BUT CHECKED ALL SENSORS, TRANSMISSION, CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, PCM, AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEKEND EXCEPT IT LURCHED FIRST THEN SHUT OFF. I GOT ONLINE AND SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I FELT I NEEDED TO REPORT IT IN THE EVENT THIS TRULY IS A MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL MOMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HER AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,433.

THE VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DIES OUT WHILE MOVING CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP ABRUPTLY AND ALSO DIES AT STOPS. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND DESPITE NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS REPLACING THE FOLLOWING THROTTLE BODY GASKET CAM SENSOR CRANK SENSOR TRANS FLUID AND FILTER EGR VALVE THE CONDITION REMAINS, IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (BODY DESIGNATION WK) HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN BACK TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,200.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 14, 2011. ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER IN A PARKING LOT, WE NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUSHED VIRTUALLY ALL THE WAY DOWN. A FEW DAYS LATER THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE LACK OF ACCELERATION HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE. MY MECHANIC CLEARED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT BUT IT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEP VEHICLES. THE PROBLEM IS A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. IT IF VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPLACED. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $924 PLUS TAX. AS MANY COMMENTS AS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS AND THE FACT THAT LACK OF ACCELERATION IS A SAFETY ISSUE, JEEP SHOULD NOT HESITATE IN ISSUING A RECALL. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKEN. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT 12/16/11 WITH MY FIANCEE WE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE JEEP STARTED BACK UP FINE ALL EXCEPT IT COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. SO I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WENT AROUND US, THEN IT WORKED ITSELF OUT, BUT DID IT AGAIN WHEN I CAME TO ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT. BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO USE MY MANUAL SHIFT TO HELP IT. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP 2 DAYS AGO. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED SINCE I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I AM ALSO A FIREFIGHTER AND I DEPEND ON THIS JEEP TO GET ME TO FIRE SCENES AND OTHER EMERGENCY SCENES, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN EMERGENCY SCENE INVOLVING ME DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS JEEP IS HAVING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO A RECALL AND HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF A MAIN TWO-LANE RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED VIOLENTLY FORWARD THROWING ME INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN ALL ACCELERATION AND SPEED STOPPED. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME ABNORMALLY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE COMPLETELY STALLED AND DECELERATING VEHICLE TO THE SLOW LANE AND PULL-OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WITH NO SIDE LANE) WITH HAZARDS FLASHING AND TRAFFIC PASSING. THIS WAS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS CONDITION AS THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 - 40 IN THE FAST LANE AT WHICH TIME I COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND HAD LIMITED STEERING (MORE LIKE COASTING) ABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART, HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED AGAIN, AND RESTARTED AFTER A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN. THIS VEHICLE ON THE THIRD DAY POST THE FIRST INCIDENT FAILED TO RESTART AFTER DRIVING TO A LOCAL SHOPPING DESTINATION AND TURNING THE CAR OFF TO PARK. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 HOURS AND RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE UPON WHICH IT STARTED WITH A DOCUMENTED CALL INTO ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FROM JEEP. THE NEXT DAY (MONDAY) I DROVE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER UPON WHICH THEY STATED THE FAILURE WAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) [(NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)] WHICH CONTROLS THE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE TRANSMISSION AT A PERSONAL COST OF $820. I BELIEVE THIS REPRESENTS A KNOWN DEFECT AS CURRENTLY 55 OUT OF THE 133 COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE ARE DESCRIBING A SIMILAR SERIES OF EVENTS AND ROOT CAUSE, AND WOULD BE WILLING TO BE INVOLVED IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST JEEP AS LIFE, LIMB AND PROPERTY ARE AT STAKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS THE CONTACT WAS PULLING TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER NOR CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,526.

CURIOUS AS TO WHY JEEP HASN'T RECALLED AND FIXED THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. THANK YOU. TT

MY VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN PARK, SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHILE GOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS BEEN AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW. THEY INITIALLY CHANGED NUMEROUS CONTROL MODULES THEY TOLD ME ARE THE "COMPUTERS" OR "BRAINS" OF THE CAR AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN ENGINEER FROM CHRYSLER COME IN TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE HAS NO CLUE WHY THIS MIGHT BE GOING ON. HELP PLEASE!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, HAD A SUDDEN LOSE OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, NO RPMS ON THE TACH, AND EVERY GEAR INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED AS IF IN ALL GEARS AT THE SAME TIME (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE). DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS PART # 52124137AC THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, AT A COST OF $817.00. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED 4 TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, NEVER ON THE HIGHWAY, IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKING A CHANCE WITH MY LIFE. *TR

WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM PARK THE PRDNL WILL HAVE A BOX AROUND EACH OF THE LETTERS. WHEN BACKING UP IT SLAMS INTO REVERSE AND THEN SLAMS INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO 20 MPH NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU STEP ON THE GAS. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES AND THE ONLY WAY IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL IS TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND START IT BACK UP. I HAVE NOW SEEN NUMEROUS BLOGS WHERE THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND IS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF ALMOST $800 TO JUST HAVE IT GO OUT AGAIN LATER AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! *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.

OWNED THE 07 JEEP FOR 5 MONTHS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR 2 DIFFERENT INCIDENTS. THE 1ST INCIDENT(ACTUALLY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES) IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT DURING ACCELERATION AND IT WOULD FORCE ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF UNTIL IT WOULD RUN CORRECTLY. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP SERVICE THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION SENSOR,HAD THE PART REPLACED-NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. LESS THEN 3 WEEKS LATER, 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING 55MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET OVER TO AN EXIT, THE VEHICLE THREW ITSELF BACK INTO 2ND GEAR AND I WAS FORCED TO GET OVER INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE SO AS NOT TO BE STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE JEEP HAD ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC! CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF AFTER THAT. DEALERSHIP STATES THE GEAR RATIO AND VALVE COVER FORCED THE VEHICLE INTO 2ND GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THE GEAR SHIFT MODULE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THERE WAS ALSO A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING THE GEAR SHIFT HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFT MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED HER TO FILE A COMPLAINT BUT OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,300.

ON OCT.5TH AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE THRUWAY AT 55MPH THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER JUST BARELY AVOIDING BEING REAR ENDED. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. YOU COULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S WOULD GO SKY HIGH BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE WHILE IN DRIVE. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF,WAITED SEVERAL SECONDS,STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT MOVED IN DRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVE A OCT.7TH SERVICE CALL.THIS WAS A NEAR DEATH SITUATION THE SECOND TIME DUE TO THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING WHEN STARTED IN THE MORNING. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE MATTER THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND MAKE. IT APPEARS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULES NEED REPLACING.AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP ON 9/20/2013. THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.7 L HEMI ENGINE. OVER THE FIRST 50 DAYS AND 1,157 MILES OF OWNERSHIP I HAVE ENCOUNTERED 18 EPISODES OF THE VEHICLE STALLING, WITH 14 OF THOSE STALLS OCCURRING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN TRAFFIC. THE STALLS OCCUR WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECELERATES TO A STOP AND I AM LEFT WITH NO POWER, NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES. ONE DEALERSHIP BLAMED IT ON A BAD BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP WHICH SOLD ME THE JEEP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A M.A.P. SENSOR, WHICH THEY REPLACED. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THE STALLING PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 11/9/2013 WHILE DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE OF THE PA TURNPIKE AT 65 MPH. THE JEEP STALLED AND CAME TO A STOP, WITH A SEMI TRACTOR-TRAILER BEHIND ME. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT TRUCK DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SWERVE IN TIME TO MISS ME. MECHANICS AND ON-LINE FORUMS IDENTIFY POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THE STALLING AS 1. A DEFECTIVE (ECM) ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES; 2. SHORTS IN THE WIRING HARNESS; 3. SPARKS PLUGS; 4. EGR VALVE; 5. IGNITION COIL; 6. PCV VALVE; 7. TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK. THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES STORED IN THE OBD-II SYSTEM. ONE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT IS THAT 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND COMMANDERS EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.7 L HEMI ENGINE ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE FROM THE WASTE SPARK ON THE COIL. AS OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE NOTED, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS AND PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH JEEPS EQUIPPED WITH THE HEMI ENGINE, AND CHRYSLER HAS TURNED A DEAF EAR TO THE COMPLAINTS. PERHAPS THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE FATALITIES TO OCCUR. WHY NHTSA HASN'T DONE MORE TO ORDER A RECALL IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON FOR YEARS WITH NO ACTION TAKEN BY CHRYSLER. THIS JEEP IS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, A DEATHTRAP. AT BEST IT CANNOT BE TRUSTED, IT IS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. AT WORST IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT, DOING 50 MPH WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE CUT OFF - COULD NOT PULL OFF ROAD, APPLY BRAKES OR STEER.TOWED IN. "REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP" ONLY TO OCCUR AGAIN IN 6 DAYS WHEN ENGINE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AGAIN, SENT FOR REPAIR, FIVE DAYS IN SHOP. OCCURRED AGAIN THE VERY NEXT DAY - WOULD NOT START. HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP ANOTHER WEEK AND THEY STILL HAVE NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM. HUSBAND IS TOTALLY DISABLED AND WE MUST HAVE A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ALMOST NEW. CANNOT TAKE A CHANCE OF THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY! *TR
