2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Power Train 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.

Mileage: 110,400

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.

Mileage: 120,000

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.

Mileage: 120,000

#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.

Mileage: 80,000

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.

Mileage: 113,000

TRANSFER CASE, SUSPENSION AND IGNITION SWITCH SEEMS TO BE CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES AFTER 105,000 MILES AND THE "WARRANTY" JUST ENDED JUST BEFORE ALL THESE ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING. WHEN TRIED TO START ONCE THE ENGINE SHUTTERED THEN TURNED OFF. STARTED UP AFTER THAT, BUT THEN IT HAS ISSUES WANTING TO ACCELERATE AND CAN FEEL THE JEEP STRUGGLING AT TIMES TO SWITCH GEARS OR WHATEVER THE TRANSFER CASE MAY ASSIST IN. ALSO HAVE NOTICED THE SUSPENSION HAS START TO ROCK.

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?

Mileage: 85,000

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

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.

Mileage: 98,000

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.

THE GEAR SHIFT MODULE IS BADLY DESIGNED IT USES A BRUSH THAT DRAGS ALONG CONTACTS TO TELL TRANNY WHAT GEAR IS SELECTED. OVER TIME THOUGH SOME OF THE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL STARTS TO RUB OFF AND MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN 2 OR MORE OF THE CONTACTS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ECU AND TRANNY CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR IT'S IN AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE 20 MPH MAX A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I'M LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REARENDED BY A VERY PISSED OFF SEMI RUCK DRIVER RECENTLY. I'M SURE SOME ONE HAS BEEN INJURED AND POSSIBLY KILLED BY THIS BADLY DESIGNED AND DANGEROUS MODULE.. CHRYSLER AND BENZ WERE PARTNERS IN 2007 AND BENZ USES A TOUCHLESS ( MAGNETIC) SYSTEM MUCH SAFER. JEEP JUST KEEPS ON PUTTING IN SAME PART NO IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE THE TCB TELLS DEALER TO PUT IN A NEW PART. THE ONLY WARNING SIGN YOU MIGHT GET IS ALL OF THE CIRCLES AROUND THE PRND ON YOUR DASH WILL BE LIT SHOWING YOU THE MODULE HAS NO IDEA WHAT GEAR IT'S IN BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS OR BUZZERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE 2010 ALWAYS WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN VERY DANGEROUS!!

I HAVE 2 RECALLS FROM JEEP AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR YEARS, THEY ARE P41/NHTSA 14V-438 AND P73. EVERY TIME I GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS. THE FORMS THEY SEND OUT DON'T HAVE A DATE ON THEM SO THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE ANY INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AS TO HOW LONG THE CUSTOMER SITS ON THESE AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT OR THE CUSTOMER SELLS THE CAR AND THE PAPER WORK GETS LOST. THESE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS NEED TO BE JACKED UP A LITTLE BIT AND BE GIVEN AN ULTIMATUM TO GET THESE RECALLS FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS IS CAUSED BY THERE CRIMINAL INTENT TO NOT TO FIX THESE RECALLS.

HI I AM IN CANADA BUT MY ISSUE BELOW AFFECT DOZENS OF VEHICLES I KNOW OF IN THE USA I SEE THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THE 2014-2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NOT GOING INTO PARK. I ALSO HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO DIESEL WITH MERCEDES ENGINE AS HAVE MANY OTHERS WHO ARE ONLINE . I HAVE PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND HAD IT ROLL AWAY ON A SEVERAL OCCASIONS (MORE THAN 7). I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT 3 TIMES, TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED COMPLETELY FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. IT HAPPENS PRIMARILY IN THE WINTER BELOW 30 DEGREES (-4C). I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OWNERS ACROSS THE USA. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES, ENGINE REDLINING IF CRUISE IS ON THEN THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO LIMP MODE, REQUIRING ME TO CUT ACROSS TRAFFIC UNDER NO POWER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNING OFF AND ON THE CAR (TO RESET LIMP MODE) TO GET GOING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 50 TIMES, SOMETIMES COMING VERY CLOSE TO COLLISION AS THE VEHICLE SLOWS QUICKLY WHEN POWER FAILS. MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS SOFTWARE OR ELECTRONICRELATED BUT THE DEALER SAYS ALL SOFTWARE IS UP TO DATE. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $9,000.00 TO DATE TRYING TO FIND THIS AND NO ONE HAS A CLUE. I KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT BUT FEEL THAT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MOVE THIS FORWARD THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HOPE FOR A REPLY *TR

HAD MY LOW MILEAGE/ PERFECTLY MAINTAINED JEEP IN FOR SERVICE. THEY PERFORMED THE N23 RECALL BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CHIP THAT CAUSES THE TRANSFER CASE TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLL AWAY. A WEEK OR SO AFTER HAVING THIS PERFORMED I WENT TO LOCK MY JEEP INTO 4WD LOW AND MY "SERVICE 4WD" MESSAGE APPEARS. IS READING THE SAME CODE EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM IS HAVING AFTER HAVING THE N23 RECALL PERFORMED. 4WD LOW WORKED FLAWLESSLY WHEN I USED IT THE WEEK BEFORE TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER. WHATS FUNNY IS THE SERVICE WRITER SAID "THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW CASES THE 4WD LOW STOPS WORKING, BUT THOSE CARS HAD HIGH MILEAGE" WHEN I ASKED HIM WHAT THE RECALL WAS AND IF ANYTHING BAD HAD COME FROM IT. *TR

IT USUALLY TAKES A GOOD 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO START SOMETIMES THEN WHEN I DO GET IT STARTED I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THIS WEBSITE AND MANY OTHER WEBSITES. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, WAIT AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE JEEP HAS TO BE RESET. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE AND HAD THE CODES RAN. IT KEEPS COMING UP THAT IT IS THE SOLENOID AND STARTER. I HAVE READ ON MANY BLOGS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE SOLENOID WIRES ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM RAIN WATER IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT CAUSES THEM TO CORRODE OR GO BAD ALL TOGETHER. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IF THEY KNOW THAT THE WIRES ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM RAIN WATER THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF PROTECTION THAT THEY CAN PUT OVER THEM OR INSTALL A DIFFERENT KIND OF WIRE. THIS IS COSTING PEOPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE. ALSO THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN WE PULL OUT ON THE ROAD WE EXPECT OUR VEHICLE TO EXCEL PROPERLY AND GO OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

DRIVING ALONG TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED AND JUST HELD AT 40, WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED PROBABLY 3-4 TIMES. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, SAID TRANSMISSION OPERATING NORMAL. IN 2012 IT STARTED NOT TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 20. I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT FROM A RED LIGHT AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT HOME. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GET SOMEWHERE WHERE I COULDN'T SAFELY PULL OVER. THE DEALER AT THAT TIME REPLACED FAULTED ESM MODULE AND SAID IT WAS FIXED AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. IN JULY 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN, EXACT SAME THING. I PULLED OUT FROM A RESTAURANT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND HAD NO POWER, COULDN'T GO OVER 20. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND HAD NO PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THERE WAS SOME UPDATE TO A RECALL THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE. 8/21/14 - JUST LAST WEEK IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT, STEPPED ON THE GAS WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND HAD NO POWER. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND WAITED AND TRIED TO GO AGAIN, IT STILL HAD NO POWER. I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED ONE MORE TIME, AND IT WORKED FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AGAIN. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY OR BUSY ROADWAY AND HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE ISN'T ALWAYS A SAFE PLACE TO DO THIS, AND EACH TIME THERE HAS BEEN PEOPLE BEHIND ME THAT I WAS AFRAID TO BE REAR-ENDED OR CAUSING A PILEUP. *TR

N23 RECALL WAS DONE A WHILE BACK WHICH HAS SINCE THEN TURNED INTO NO 4 WHEEL LOW/ NEUTRAL. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER AS HAVE MANY PEOPLE IT SEEMS THAT IT'S THE TRANSFERCASE ACTUATOR MOTOR SO I REPLACED IT MYSELF IT WAS GOOD FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN CAME UP ON THE DASH AGAIN SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE CAME OUT WITH A REFLASH IT LOOKS LIKE AND WHEN I CALLED IN TODAY TO SEE WHAT IT'S ABOUT THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. IT'S STUPID I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE. *TR

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON A VERY CONGESTED ROAD. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO PROCEED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I EXPERIENCED A SLOW SLUGGISH START SO I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER TO THE FLOORBOARD, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE BY THE ENGINE. CAR PROCEEDED AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED (10 MPH WITH RPM'S AT 2500). I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART CAR WHICH DID SOMEWHAT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES NOW, USUALLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. MY CONCERN IS WHEN I PULL INTO A RIGHT OF WAY AND THE CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE I PUT MYSELF AND PASSENGERS AT A SAFETY RISK OF BEING COLLIDED IN THE REAR OF MY CAR BY ANOTHER CAR. *TR

ALL THREE TIMES THE ESM SHIFT MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REPLACE BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AT A THOUSAND DOLLARS. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AS THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THEY HAVE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER [XXX]. IN CHECKING ONLINE FOR ISSUES THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S.

I AM WRITING TO YOU REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN FINDING OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY 2007, 67,000 MILE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT HAS BEEN RANDOMLY MISS FIRING, BUCKING AND SURGING, AND STALLING WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE CARS SPEED, BUCKING AND SURGING, AND STALLING WHEN STOPPED IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE THIS OCCURS WITHOUT NOTICE ON BOTH STREET AND FREEWAY DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE NEAREST JEEP SERVICE DEALER, CRYSTAL CHRYSLER JEEP THREE TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM. IN FACT, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT CRYSTAL CHRYSLER FOR NEARLY THREE WEEKS NOW, AND THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY SPECIFICALLY WHAT IS CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION. MY FRUSTRATION OVER MY BELOVED JEEP GROWS BECAUSE WITHOUT FINDING THE CAUSE THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN MY CAR WILL BE READY. THIS EXPERIENCE NOW HAS ME QUESTIONING THE RELIABILITY OF JEEP VEHICLES AND THE CONFIDENCE IN SERVICE DEALERS LIKE CRYSTAL CHRYSLER. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY JEEP VEHICLE. *TR

IT IS NOT SAFE THE HAVE AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE RELIABLY BE SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL LOW RANGE, WHICH LOCKS THE TRANSFER CASE AND PROVIDES TRUE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. AS A RESULT, OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND FIAT CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION, I HAVE INSTALLED A FDCM THAT HAS NOT HAD THE N23 RECALL PERFORMED. THIS MAY ALSO BE UNSAFE, BUT CAN BE MITIGATED BY USING THE PARKING BRAKE. FIAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PROVIDE A REAL FIX TO THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT CAUSE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, BUT THE PART IS ON PERMANENT BACK-ORDER.

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

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

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS SINCE I OWNED IT. THERE IS A TWO SECOND DELAY WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. DEALERSHIPS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, 4WD MODULE. EVERY LIGHT COMES ON, CHECK ENGINE, CHECK GAS CAP ETC. IT NOW GETS HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE AND JEEP REFUSES TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE PRNDL HAD LIT BOXES AROUND ALL THE LETTERS, AND DASH INDICATORS ALL LIT UP, AND JEEP LOST POWER AS IF STALLING. IT THEN "WENT" BACK INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN. THIS HAPPENED OVER ELEVEN TIMES, WITH MILEAGE STARTING AT 1,186, AND MOST RECENTLY AT 52,536. DATES OF REPAIR INCIDENTS ARE : 2/12/07, 12/31/07, 1/10/08, 9/22/08, 1/5/09, 6/9/09, 6/18/12, 10/19/12, 12/26/12, 3/8/13, 3/22/13. MY JEEP IS A 2007, AVERAGING 8,756 MILES PER YEAR. I BOUGHT IT NEW AND I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF ALL MAINTENANCE RIGHT AWAY - OIL CHANGES, FILTERS, TIRE ROTATION, ETC.! EACH TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR "REPAIR" , THEY EITHER COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, OR REPLACED : SHIFTER MODULE (TWICE), TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS (THREE TIMES) AND SUGGESTED A NEW BATTERY (WE REPLACED THAT ALSO), AND TRANSMISSION PLUG AND SEAL. THERE WERE ALSO NUMEROUS "SOFTWARE AND ANTI-THEFT UPDATES. IN ADDITION TO THESE, I REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR TWICE. NOW, THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE "TRANSMISSION TEMP CIRC." AND ESM MODULE - FOR ANOTHER $1,500.00 . ALL THIS IN 52,536 MILES AND 6 YEARS !!! I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE ARE SERIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THIS JEEP IS UNPREDICTABLE. I NEVER KNOW, EVEN AFTER ALL THE "REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS" , IF IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND I MIGHT BE IN DANGER (TRAFFIC, INTERSECTION, ETC.). HOW IN THE WORLD COULD CHRYSLER DENY THIS PROBLEM? IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AT THE SOURCE, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES !!!! THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE FROM NUMEROUS 2007 JEEP OWNERS - WHERE IS THE RECALL ???!!!! *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE UNABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

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

ORIGINALLY HAVING ISSUES SLOWING DOWN GOING AROUND CORNERS AND UP A STEEP INCLINE. FELT LIKE VEHICLE WAS STAYING IN HIGHER GEAR, YOU COULD DOWN SHIFT IT MANUALLY. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE NO CODES PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM. THEN LAST YEAR IN AUGUST 2011 WE DID A CROSS COUNTY TRIP (7000 MILES) VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT BOTH LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEEDS, NOT EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ITSELF AND OTHERS THE KEY HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REINSERTED, BUT MOST TIMES NOT. THE WEATHER DID NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. UPON RETURN VEHICLE HAD APPROX 45,000 MILES, CODES RETREIVED FROM VEHICLE WERE MULTIPLE. ACTIVE CODES: B2105, C121C PENDING CODE: P0524 STORED CODES P0129, P0688, P0884. AT 35,000 MILES NEW OEM SPARK PLUGS AND WATER PUMP (DUE TO COOLANT LEAK) WITH NEW ANTIFREEZE. VEHICLE IS SERVICED REGULARLY EVERY 3,000 MILES SINCE NEW. SINCE 45,000 MILES ALL RELATED CIRCUITS AND COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND CHECKED FOR PROPER OPERATION. NEW CRANK SENSOR AND ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH. CODE B2105 KEEPS RECURRING EVEN WITHOUT STALL. ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS AND GROUNDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND CHECKED, NEW BATTERY AT 36,000. HAD VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT IT IS NOT SAFE.

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.

PURCHASED 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 5.7 HEMI JULY 31, 2007. DECEMBER 1, 2010 MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. SHE MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY MORE ISSUES. DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED P0884 CODE FROM THE PCM. HE COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL NUMEROUS TIMES AT HIGH SPEED AND SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED. AFTER NUMEROUS PARTS WERE CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITH NO RESULTS, THE TECHNICIAN CONTACTED AN ENGINEER FROM THE CHRYSLER COMPANY. DURING AN ON SITE VISIT THE ENGINEER SUSPECTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE UPPER ENGINE HARNESS RECEIVING AN ELECTRICAL INDUCTION FROM THE ENGINE COILS CAUSING THE PCM TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED FOIL AROUND THE HARNESS AND WIRE TIED THE HARNESS UP OFF THE CRADLES THEY LAY IN. ENGINE PERFORMED NORMAL WITH NO SHUT DOWNS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DECISION WAS MADE TO CHANGE THE UPPER ENGINE HARNESS. SINCE THE HARNESS WAS CHANGED MY JEEP HAS STALLED OUT FOUR MORE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT STALL OCCURRED THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2012. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEED LIMITS AND YOUR CAR STALLS. CHRYSLER PLACES DRIVERS IN A SITUATION WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNCONTROLLABLE WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH CARS BEHIND YOU. I STARTED AN ON LINE THREAD IN JEEP FORUM.COM CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FOLKS HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN THE USA, CANADA, AND HAWAII. I THINK THAT AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED TO DISCOVER WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND COME UP WITH A POSITIVE REPAIR FOR CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 53,863

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLED. I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF AN BACK ON TO RESTART IT. THIS FIRST HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS OVER, AS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN MAY OF 2012. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP ON DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS. THE SPARK PLUGS, EGR VALVE, IGNITION COIL, PCV VALVE AND MAP SENSOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO NO EFFECT. THERE ARE NO MEANINGFUL DIAGNOSTIC CODES STORED IN THE OBD-II SYSTEM. I FEEL THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STALL, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HARM'S WAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY OF THESE SAME VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. I CAN NO LONGER LET MY WIFE OR TEENAGE SON DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. IF YOU STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT WILL SOMETIMES FIX ITSELF BUT NOT ALWAYS AND THIS IS NOT A GOOD OPTION TO RESORT TO IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THIS VEHICLE WILL ALSO DOWNSHIFT ON ITS OWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED SLOWING YOUR CAR WITHOUT WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND.

BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR NUMEROUS DAYS AT A TIME THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. REALLY NOT GOOD WHEN IT IS DARK OUT AND YOU DON'T HAVE HEADLIGHTS. AT 15,000 AND 35,000 I HAD TO HAVE THE SHIFT MODULAR REPLACED BECAUSE ALL THE CAR WOULD BASICALLY GO IN TO NEUTRAL WHEN BEING DRIVEN. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE DAYS THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND SENT IT HOME ONLY TO HAVE TO RETURN 2 DAYS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AS I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THESE SAME ISSUES MAKES YOU WONDER FIRST WHY THESE ISSUES CAN'T SEEM TO BE FIXED, SECOND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE I HAVE HEARD OF HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS. WHEN THE JEEP IS WORKING I LOVE IT. IF I HAD A HOPE AND A PRAY OF GETTING A NEW VEHICLE I WOULD TRADE IN MY PAID OFF JEEP IN A HEART BEAT SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO CONSTANTLY WORRY THAT IT STOP RUNNING OR THAT I WILL BE DRIVING BLIND IN THE DARK. SADLY I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH ON THE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES I.E. WINDOW THAT HAD TO BE FIXED REMOTE KEYLESS ISSUES IT IS SAD THAT THE COMPANY DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE THINGS THIS WILL BE MY LAST JEEP.

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO - RANDOMLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO IN THE IGNITION YOU CAN HEAR THE RELAY CLICKING, ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK OR START. WHEN THE KEY IS RETURNED TO THE OFF POSITION THE DATA DISPLAY BELOW THE TACHOMETER MOMENTARILY STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATED. THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND EVERYTHING ELSE, LIGHTS, HORN, ETC STILL WORK. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES DUMPED. THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS BY THE DEALERSHIP WAS TO REPLACE THE STARTER, NOW 4 MONTHS LATER THE VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. THIS HAS BECOME A RELIABILITY ISSUE IN THAT THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR, EACH TIME FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH THIS VEHICLE, JEEP DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE "STUMPED". I HAVE READ OF MANY JEEP VEHICLES THAT DEMONSTRATE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM, WITHOUT RESOLUTION. THIS CAN BE AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE, USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT BECOMES A "HARD" FAIL BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP WILL LOOK AT IT.

LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY WITHOUT AN ISSUE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED THE JEEP UP AGAIN AND WAS THEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE. WHEN TALKING TO THE DEALER, THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHEN JEEP WAS CHECKED AT A LOCAL DEALER, THEY PULLED ERROR CODES THAT POINTED TO THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. ONLY ABOUT $700 TO REPLACE THAT WITH LABOR!! THE SENSORS ARE ALL PART OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND THUS NEED TO DISMANTLE THE TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE THE SENSORS.

I WRITE THIS ONLY BECAUSE I JUST EXPERIENCE MY FOURTH MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN IN THREE YEARS. IN DECEMBER 2009, I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST BREAKDOWN IN WHAT HAS BECOME A STRING OF MALFUNCTIONS. THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO GAVE OUT AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, I GOT A 'TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT' MESSAGE ON THE DASH DISPLAY ALONG WITH THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND IT TOOK NEARLY A MONTH FOR THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOCATE, RECEIVE AND INSTALL THE NECESSARY PARTS. APPARENTLY SUPPLY AND DEMAND HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT, INDICATING TO ME THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE NATIONWIDE. A MONTH LATER, ANOTHER MALFUNCTION, THIS TIME, THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) HAD DIED. JUST OVER A YEAR LATER, THE SAME COMPONENT (ESM) DIED AGAIN (OF COURSE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY), THIS TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALONG RT. 50 OUTSIDE OF DC. NOW, LESS THAN SIX MONTHS LATER, WITH LESS THAN 40,000 ON THE ALREADY REPLACED TRANSMISSION, MY TRANSMISSION HAS BLOWN AGAIN - SAME 'TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT' MESSAGE, SAME ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT, SAME UNDRIVABILITY. CLEARLY FROM SEEING THE COMMENTS ON THIS FORUM AS WELL AS OTHER REPUTABLE SITES SUCH AS EDMUNDS AND CONSUMER REPORTS, THE 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS A LONG, LONG HISTORY OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. I HAVE A PHONE CALL SCHEDULED WITH A CASE WORKER SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW, 7/13/2012. THEY'LL EITHER MAKE IT RIGHT OR I'LL BE TAKING MY STORY TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE WHO'S HAD ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL TO DO THE SAME.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 5 LANE INTERSTATE AT 4:30 PM, I ACCELERATED TO MOVE OVER INTO THE FAR LEFT LANE AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE DOING THIS. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THIS HAPPENED. HAD TO COAST ACROSS FIVE LANES OF INTERSTATE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK. WAITED A MINUTE AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND THE ACCELERATOR MAGICALLY WORKED AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, DROVE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE CODE CHECKED. THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS CODE P0730, GEAR RATIO INCORRECT. *JB

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

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

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC, I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. I WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY AS TRAFFIC WAS COMING QUICKLY FROM BEHIND. THE JEEP STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED ALL OF THE DRIVE LETTERS WITH BOXES AROUND THEM. THE JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR OVER 20 SECONDS, CAUSING ME TO RAPIDLY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE DEALER FOUND A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE AND REPLACED IT. THE VEHICLE HAS WORKED WELL UNTIL 2/15/12. AT 70,000 MILES, THE DEALER INSTALLED MODULE HAS FAILED AGAIN. ONCE MORE THIS HAPPENED WHEN ENTERING A HEAVY TRAFFIC ROADWAY. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. IN MY CASE, BOTH FAILURES RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A COLLISION. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS SEEMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE TREMENDOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IT . *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

THE "SHIFTER MODULE" IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WHEN IT FIRST STARTING ACTING UP. LUCKILY, THEY WERE JUST LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY AND NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING DOWN THE STREET. THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER "TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP" WAS FLASHING, AND ALL OF THE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE CLUSTER. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER, A PARTS REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HAD TO REPLACE SO MANY OF THESE SHIFTER MODULES THAT HE'S MEMORIZED THE PART # (NOT KIDDING). HE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEIR SHOP SWAPS OUT THE DEFECTIVE JEEP SHIFTER MODULES WITH MERCEDES SHIFTER MODULES. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS REPAIR COST ME WELL OVER $1000.00. BOTTOM LINE - MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AROUND TOWN. I DON'T HAVE A TOW HITCH, AND I PAMPER THIS CAR. STILL, JEEP REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS COSTLY REPAIR. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS, BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECTIVE PART. YET, ON REPUTABLE AUTO FORUMS, MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME EXACT SHIFTER MODULE DEFECT.

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

UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOP VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND LOSE POWER. THIS CONSTITUTES A HAZARD TO VEHICLE AND ANY APPROACHING VEHICLES DURING A TURN. INSPECTION INDICATES THAT TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS AT FAULT ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILURE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS ( POWER AND CHECK ENGINE ) ARE INTERMITTENT, INDICATING THAT THE MODULE IS FAULTY. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ECM ON THESE VEHICLES. THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE VARYING SYMPTOMS BUT ALL GO BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION ECM. THESE UNIT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT MANUFACTURERS COST. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN MANY DIFFERENT MODELS AND YEARS OF VEHICLES, BUT ALWAYS GO BACK TO THIS ECM UNIT. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I DON'T FEEL THAT THE CONSUMER IS AT FAULT OR CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. CHRYSLER MODULES ARE AND HAVE BEEN FAULTY IN THE PAST. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SAYS THAT OTHER MODULES IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS TOO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION ECM'S AND HAVE THEM RECALLED. *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.

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

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.

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

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.

THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY BUT SIX MONTHS LATER IT DRAINED TOO. I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY JUMP-START THE VEHICLE AFTER EACH INCIDENT. TRANSMISSION----I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DOWN-SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO A LOWER GEAR. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AT ABOUT 46000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS DEFECTIVE SHIFTER CONTROL. BEFORE I HAD IT REPAIRED (EST. $1000) IT BEGAN FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, THAT IS, UNTIL TODAY. I LEFT A PARKING LOT AND MERGED INTO TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET THE JEEP TO GO ANY FASTER THAN 28 MPH. IT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN FIRST.

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.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AT RANDOM. WHEN IT DOES, PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 OR SOMETIMES CAR "SPUTTERS" JERKING A LOT. SOMETIMES AT RED LIGHTS, RAIL ROAD CROSSINGS, ANYTHING REALLY WHERE THE CAR IS STOPPED, CAR WILL NOT RESUME DRIVING AND CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND I AM REVING IT UP. ELECTRONIC DASH PUTS A BRACKET OVER EACH GEAR, P R N D, ALL AT ONCE. WHEN ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IT IS ON FOR A PERIOD OF DAYS. WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND PUT IT IN TO DRIVE IT MAKES THE MOST HORRIBLE SOUND AS IF I BACKED INTO A WALL AND JERKS. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON IT'S AS IF I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING THROUGH MY AIR VENTS. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER OR ANY SHOP JUST FOR A DIAGNOSIS IT'S JUST MY LUCK THAT THE LIGHT TURNS OFF AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS FINE.

AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING IT, THREE MONTHS LATER IT OCCURRED AGAIN, AND WAS REPLACED AGAIN. OVER THE LAST 1.5 YEARS IT HAS OCCURRED RANDOMLY, OVER AND OVER, AND NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED, THEREFORE MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. A RECALL NEEDS TO ISSUED.

IN BOTH INSTANCES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR AND THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 30 TO 35 MPH EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THE DEALER REPLACED THE BEZEL SHIFT SELECTOR. AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. MERGING ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY WHERE TRAFFIC SPEEDS ROUTINELY EXCEED 80MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 30-35 MPH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.

CAR WILL DECELERATE, AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO DEPRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, BEGAN TO DESCRIBE ISSUE, WITHOUT DESCRIBING THE MAKE AND MODEL, AND THE REPAIR-SHOP WAS ABLE TO THEN TELL ME THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ME PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSING. (ALREADY HAD GEAR SHIFT MODULE REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AND SINCE THE ISSUE OCCURRED 14 MONTHS LATER, DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO COVER EXPENSE OF REPLACEMENT.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND AS STATED BEFORE, OCCURS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AND THERE ARE NO PRECEDING WARNINGS OR OTHER INDICATORS THAT FORESHADOW THE OCCURRENCE. CAR IS NOW AT 42,000 MILES, YET IT IS IN NEED OF A 3RD SHIFT MODULE, SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO DECLARE A RECALL OR WHEN THE CUSTOMER HAS THE PROBLEM, THEY FIX IT WITHOUT FURTHER EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW, AND ITS MY 4TH ONE, HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE QUALITY OF VEHICLE THEY ARE PRODUCING, AND WILL NOT EVER PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN. *TR

2007/ 30 000 MILES. SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSES LOSS OF ACCELERATION BY GOING NEUTRAL OR STICKING IN 1ST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. TYPICALLY, ALL THE LETTERS ARE LIFT PRND SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. STOPPING AND RESTARTING (ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAY DRIVING) SEEMS TO RESET THE SHIFTER. DEALER SAYS ESM PART NO 52124138AD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED AS A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

BOUGHT USED 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE FROM ADAMS JEEP, ABERDEEN MD IN NOV. 2009. WITHIN FIRST MONTH, WHILE TRAVELING AROUND 30 MPH, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL DESPITE ENGINE RACING. PRND LIGHTS ALL LIT UP. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR REPLACED AFTER PAYING $100 DEDUCTIBLE ON EXTENDED WARRANTY. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 5 MONTHS LATER. DEALER CHARGED ME FOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE UPDATES. ONE MONTH LATER, SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, DEALER REPLACED BEZEL GEAR SELECTOR AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER, SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS IS 4TH TIME TAKING CAR IN FOR LACK OF ACCELERATION WHILE PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL. DEALER STATES UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM SINCE THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MY CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE SHIFTER MODULE IN THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES AS SHE WAS DRIVING ALONG THE ROADS WITH TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO GO NEUTRAL AND ALL GEAR INDICATIONS LIT CIRCLED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN ALL GEARS, BUT WAS NOT "DRIVING". WHEN IT FINALLY KICKED BACK INTO GEAR IT ACCELERATED QUICKLY. SHE HAD TO BREAK AND PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAPPENED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED AN ELECTRONIC MODULE. THIS COULD BE A DEADLY FAILURE. TWO DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE DEPARTMENTS I HAVE ASKED HAVE HEARD OF IT BUT SAY IT ISN'T A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, A SALES MANAGER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT CLAIMS NEVER TO HAVE HEARD OF THIS. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) RE: 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4 PROBLEM: DANGEROUS SHIFTER MODULE DEFECT TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: LAST WEEK, MY WIFE WAS BRINGING OUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, AND UPON LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED, THE CAR JERKED BACK DANGEROUSLY INTO THE OPEN STREET, AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (P, N, R, D). FORTUNATELY FOR US, SHE WAS ABLE TO RETURN THE CAR TO THE DRIVWAY, UNHARMED. LIVING ON A BUSY STREET, WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT/INJURY. AS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED, I AM NOW AFRAID TO LET HER DRIVE THIS CAR ANY LONGER, UPON CONTACTING JEEP/CHRYSLER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COVER THIS SAFETY REPAIR (APPROX. COST IS $1025.OO W/TAX,PARTS,LABOR). I AM DOWNRIGHT FRUSTRATED, ANGRY, AND FEARFUL. AFTER READING SCORES OF OFHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SHIFTER MODULE ON REPUTABLE SITES LIKE EDMUNDS.COM, MY FRUSTRATION WITH CHRYSLER HAS INCREASED. THEY SIMPLY WON'T CONCEDE THAT THERE IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY FLAW WITH THE SHIFTER IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE, ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [XXX] *TR

TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS AWAITING A TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND JERK AND THE ESP/BAS LIGHT, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (CHECK ENGINE) AND A MESSAGE STATING TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP CAME ON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY FLASHERS. THE DRIVER BEHIND REALIZED THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE AND PUT ON HIS AS WELL. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SHOULDER, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 5MINS, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY TO MY OFFICE SINCE I WAS JUST 2 BLOCKS FROM WORK. THIS EXPERIENCE SCARED ME BECAUSE HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT THE 60-65 MPH RATE ON THIS VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. AFTER READING SEVERAL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I CAN ALSO RELATE TO THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES HAVING HAD TO REPLACE A BROKEN STEM AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE ONLY 2 DAYS AND I CURRENTLY STILL HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO MY VEHICLE ON RAINING DAYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THROUGH THE LIGHTS. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY AND AFTER TODAY'S STALL OUT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUES AND TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS PROBABLY COLD AND IF THE LIGHTS DON'T GO OUT I CAN BRING IT IN ON SATURDAY. WELL TODAY IS WEDNESDAY AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM MY HOME, I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED SO THAT IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF EVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I TRANSPORT CHILDREN AS PART OF MY JOB FROM TIME TO TIME AND I COULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE WE ARE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THERE LARGE TRUCKS IN THE NUMBER TWO AND THEE LANES WHICH CAUSED ME CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE INCIDENT.

THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN AFTER A FEW STARTS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE IS U0404 WHICH I AM TOLD IS THE SHIFTER/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. WHILE SEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL RIGHT AFTER THEIR WARRANTY RAN OUT. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WAS NOT FOUND NOW THAT I AM 900 MIL;ES PAST WARRANTY THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO STARTED CLUNKING LOUDLY WHEN I SHIFTED FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER THIS OCCURS. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, THEN, ONE DAY I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT ACTED AS IF WAS IN PARK. I SHIFTED IT TO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO GEAR LUNGED FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY DEALERSHIP (THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY) WHO TOLD ME NO CODES REGISTERED IN RELATION TO THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAVING BEEN ON AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME AND TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME TRANSMISSION CLUNKING BEGAN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I LEFT A RED LIGHT TODAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND. FINALLY, IT SHIFTED, SLAMMING INTO GEAR, WITH A LOUD, HARD CLUNK THAT SHOT MY VEHICLE SEVERAL FEET AHEAD. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IF A CAR HAD BEEN AHEAD OF ME. IT'S BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. THE CAR HAS ONLY 21,000 MILES ON IT. CLEARLY, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND CANNOT SIMPLY GO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE 2007 WK CRD THAT HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR VEHICLE HAS DIED ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. READING ABOUT THIS ON JEEP FORUM, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A TSB RELATED TO A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON WK JEEPS THAT WERE BUILT BEFORE JUNE 12TH, 2007. MY JEEP WAS BUILT IN APRIL, 2007. WHILE MY JEEP HAS NOT STALLED, IT IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND SHE IS FREQUENTLY TRANSPORTING OUR TWO CHILDREN. THE TSB CALLS FOR CHECKING AND REPLACING THE SENSOR IF IT FAILS, BUT I DO NOT FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO JUST DIE WHILE THEY WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY WIFE AND KIDS. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *TR

THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 50 MPH) AND LOCAL SPEED 30 MPH.

ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NEW YORK CITY ,AND MY FEAR WAS THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE WOULD REAR END MY VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASING LOCATION AT ADDITIONAL COSTS TO US, AND THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE SHIFT CONTROLLER, TRANSMISSION NOT SENDING THE PROPER SIGNAL FOR IT TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SOLENOID, AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THIS WAS LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, AND NOW MY WIFE WAS UNWILLING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.
