2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Powertrain & Transmission Problems

SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND START DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL FORCING ME TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT TWICE A MONTH.

ENGINE STALLS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S AS IF I JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN IT STALLS, I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF. IT'S BECOMING A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN.

#1. V-8 THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES OUT OF CONTROLL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, NO CONSISTENTLY BUT INTERMITENTLY' APPEARS TO TRY ACCERATING TO 65 MP CRUISE CONTROL. MUST SLAM IT INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN CITY TRAFFIC, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. #2. TRANSMISSION OR POWERTRAIN IS SKIPPING LAGGING OR BUCKING ON ACCELERATION FROM STOPPED POSITION AND FROM NORMAL DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS, UNDER 65 MP. CAN THIS BE THE COMPUTER?????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MONROEVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP 3(651 WILLIAM PENN HWY, MONROEVILLE, PA 15146, (412) 856-1422) WHERE THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPAIRED TWICE AND THE MOTOR AS WELL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V175000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,245.

RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR YEARS REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT CHRYSLER NEVER HAS THE PART. FURTHER, THIS CAR HAS NUMEROUS REPORTS OF BRAKING ISSUES THAT ARE SPORADIC AND IT CAUSED ME TO REAR-END A VEHICLE ON NOV. 2, LUCKILY AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD AND IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE AGAIN WHEN I PRESSED IT AGAIN MOMENTS LATER. MECHANIC COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT THAT IS TYPICAL FOR CHRYSLER IT SEEMS.

ANYTIME I GO 50+ MPH ALL I CAN HEAR IS A ROARING NOISE. WE HAVE REPLACED THE WHOLE REAR END ALMOST 3 WEEKS AGO THINKING MAYBE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM TURNS OUT IT NOT. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR ALMOST A YEAR AGO SO WE ARE UNSURE IF ANY RECALLS ON IT HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

THE TRANSFER CASE HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY AND THE CAR LURCHES AND STUTTERS WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS A RECALL INVOLVING THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE COMPUTER, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE FOR THE TRANSFER CASE ITSELF, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS COMPROMISED FROM DUE TO THE COMPUTER ISSUE BEFORE IT WAS FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TACOMA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (253-475-7300, LOCATED AT 4101 S TACOMA WAY, TACOMA, WA 98409) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. *TT CONSUMER REPLACED MY IGNITION SWITCH. *JB

TL *THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

JEEP SHIFTS OUT OFF PARK WHEN KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. I DO NOT NEED TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO SHIFT OUT OFF PARK. JEEP HAS HAD THE 14V-438 RECALL.

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

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

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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

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. THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS THAT THE RECALL WAS TO REPAIR. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?

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.

I WAS DRIVING ON COUNTY ROAD ABOUT 45 MPH BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN ABS LIGHT THEN MESSAGE SERVICE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, ENGINE AND BRAKE LIGHT THEY STAYED ON TILL I GOT HOME THERE WAS ALSO A VERY LOW HUMMING NOISE WHEN I TURNED OFF CAR IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN.
