2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Unknown Or Other Problems

I have a warning light telling me to check my gas cap. I check out and nothing seems to be wrong. But I do go through a lot of gas. I don't know if there needs to be a new gas cap put on or if it's part of the fuel system

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

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

BEEN HAVING STARTING ISSUES FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. IT STARTS SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES HAVE TO WAIT A FEW HOURS TO A FEW DAYS. THE LAST 2 DAYS WON'T START AT ALL AND HAS DRAINED MY LESS THEN A YEAR OLD BATTERY. 3 WEEKS AGO WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN OR UP WHENEVER THEY WANT. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT RANDOM. I BELIEVED MY CAR IS POSSESSED. READING MORE AND MORE I REALIZED MY TIPM IS BAD. I HAVE LEARNED WITH ALL THE RANDOM THINGS WITH THIS JEEP THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND TOO MANY ISSUES, WITH NO RESOLUTION OTHER THEN I HAVE TO EMPTY EVERY POCKET TO FIX IT. IT STALLS WHEN DRIVING IT SHIFTS INTO ALL GEARS SLOWS ME DOWN WHEN I'M ON HIGHWAY AT A VERY UNSAFE SPEED. IT IS UNRELIABLE AND I PUT MY LIFE MY KIDS AND OTHERS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING. SADLY, I BELIEVE JEEP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY SINCE THERE IS 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS WITH SAME ISSUES. IT ALSO SAYS MY AIR BAGS WON'T WORK BECAUSE THE TIPM IS BAD. *TR

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY

DOOR HANDLES BREAKING ON ALL INTERIOR DOORS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK WHEN YOUR CHILD CAN NOT GET OUT!!! IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND HAS CONTINUED TO BREAK ON THE OTHERS.

CAR WOULDN'T START TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP ERROR. DRIVE TO WORK 20 MIN PARKED CAR FLAT SURFACE CAME OUT TO LEAVE AFTER 8 HOUR SHIFT THAT ERROR MESSAGE AND WON'T START. 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED NO WARNING WAS TOLD COMMON ISSUE PIGTAIL TO STARTER BECAUSE OF PLACEMENT IT GETS WET OR MOISTURE. WHICH MAKES THIS CAR QUESTIONABLE TO DRIVE.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES NOW, AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING SHOWING BUT AN EMISSIONS CODE. I'M TOLD IT IS THE GAS CAP TO REPLACE IT. MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2007 LAREDO ABOUT 149,000 MILES ON IT. NORMALLY, IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. I GET OIL CHANGES LIKE CLOCKWORK, AND EVERY TIME IT'S SUGGESTED TO FIX SOMETHING, I DO IT. IT STALLS VERY FREQUENTLY AT STOP SIGNS / STOP LIGHTS, AND I NEED TO LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM BETWEEN ME AND OTHER CARS SO I CAN STEADILY INCH FORWARD WHILE WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT, OTHERWISE IT WILL DIE. IT STARTS UP FINE, BUT STOPPING AGAIN AND IT WILL DIE AGAIN. IT'S TO THE POINT NOW THAT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE. STALLS / DIES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE A/C IS ON MECHANIC SAYS THEY'VE RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND THE ONLY THING IT SHOWS IS THE EMISSIONS CODE. I'M TOLD YET AGAIN TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT IDLES ROUGH AND HAS DONE ALL OF THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2016.

THE ENGINE DIED GOING 70MPH ON THE HWY WITH OUT ANY NOTICE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AS STEERING LOCKED UP, ONCE ON SIDE OF ROAD, I PUT IT INTO 'PARK' AND 'RESTARTED THE ENGINE'. IT WORKED JUST FINE FROM THEN ON, TILL ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND TURNING RIGHT, I BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET THRU THE LIGHT AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS THE STEERING HAD AGAIN LOCKED UP. THIS IS VERY SCARY! EVERYTHING IN THE CAR TURNS 'OFF', I DONT EVEN THINK THE FLASHERS WORKED DURING THESE TIMES. ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND AFTER PUTTING INTO 'PARK', EVERYTHING STARTS BACK UP NORMALLY, AND DRIVES FINE. THERE IS NOT ANY OTHER SIGNS OF ANYTHING WRONG, NO DASH LIGHT WARNINGS OR ANYTHING.

'TAKATA RECALL' MY VEHICLE HAD AN ISSUE STARTING BECUASE OF A SHORT FAULTY WIRE CONNECTING TO THE STARTER THAT IVE SEEN ON YOUTUBE THAT 750000+ PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IT LEFT ME STUCK PLENTY IF TIMES AS IS STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I REALLY CANT WORD IT AS BEST AS THE NEXT PERSON BUT THIS IS THE ISSUE AND IM ORETTY SURE IM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS HERE WIT JEEP

SUNROOF EXPLOSION

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR LEAKS WATER INSIDE , WHEN IT RAIN, WHN I GO TO LOCK OR UNLOCK MY CAR WITH THE REMOTE STARTED IT STARTS THE CAR

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.

THERE IS A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM EITHER THE ENGINE OR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. IT ONLY MAKES THE NOISE WHEN GOING EXTREMELY SLOW.

WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER A SMALL OR LARGE BUMP, A DASHBOARD LIGHT CLUSTER INDICATES TO SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ESP BAS WARNING LIGHTS. ABS IS NOTICEABLY DISABLED WHEN THIS LIGHT CLUSTER APPEARS. THE INDICATIONS USUALLY LAST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GOING AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 18,000 MILES. WHEN BROUGHT UP AT THE DEALERSHIP DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I AM TOLD THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON THIS LAST OCCASION, I LOST FULL BRAKING AUTHORITY AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER TO THE FREEWAY SHOULDER WHILE APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE INDICATIONS WENT AWAY AND BRAKING WAS RESTORED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I HAD A RECALL ON MY VEHICLES IGNITION SWITCH AND MY CAR STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FIXED WHEN I TOOK IT TO US AUTO WHERE I PURCHASED IT. IT WAS TAKEN TO JEEP (2016) BUT MY IGNITION SWITCH IS STILL THE ISSUE. I HAD A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AND MY IGNITION SWITCH IS STILL THE PROBLEM. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN WHAT IF I WAS INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS?

THE ISSUE IS WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE).DURING THE FIRST INSTANCE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN A PARKING LOT THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE AND LOCKED UP WHILE IN MOTION. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND EVENTUALLY IT WAS DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A BAD PCM AND THE TIPM. AFTER WAITING A MONTH FOR THE TIPM TO COME IN, THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. PICKED UP THE CAR ON A FRIDAY AND AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON SATURDAY MORNING THE CAR LOCKED UP AND BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. THIS TIME I WAS GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THANKFULLY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR ON EITHER ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT JEEP TIPM'S WERE RECALLED FROM 2011 TO 2015. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT TIPM'S FROM 2007 LEADING UP TO 2011 WERE ALSO HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES AND A RECALL WAS IN ORDER THEN, BUT NEVER OFFICIALLY CAME TO BE. THIS PART HAS A LONG AND DOCUMENTED HISTORY AS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS AND I WANT TO OFFICIALLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHY THESE PARTS HAVE ARE BEING PUT INTO CARS IN THIS CONDITION. THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS PARTS FAILURE ARE HUGE. TO HAVE A CAR THAT IS IN MOTION LOCK UP AND BECOME TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE PRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO THE DRIVER, THEIR PASSENGERS AND THE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AROUND THEM. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE NOT TREATING THIS ISSUE WITH THE SEVERITY IT DESERVES. THEY SIMPLY WANT ME TO JUST PAY FOR FAULTY PARTS AND HAVE ME GO AWAY. THIS IS NOT HOW AN AUTOMAKER SHOULD BE HANDLING A SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE (PARKED) CAR, WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED EVERYTHING TURNS ON (RADIO, DASHBOARD LIGHTS, SEATS ECT) LIKE IT NORMALLY WOULD START BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER OR CRANK AT ALL... WHEN ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS GO OFF THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT REMAIN ON. NO CLICKING SOUND WHATSOEVER, BUT I BELIEVE YOU CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP KICK IN. WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION AFTER IT WON'T START, THE ACCESSORIES WILL OCCASIONALLY STAY ON (SUCH AS THE THE SEAT WHEN IT HAS THE EASY ENTRY OPTION SELECTED WILL STAY IN THE DRIVING POSITION). NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE IT START. JUMPING THE BATTERY DOES NOTHING. PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL TO START DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. IT'S USUALLY JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT DECIDES TO START AGAIN... SOMETIMES HOURS, SOMETIMES DAYS. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NEVER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. FOR WHATEVER REASON, POSSIBLY JUST A COINCIDENCE, REPLACING THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB SEEMS TO DELAY THE ISSUE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN FOR A FEW MONTHS. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A STRAIGHT FORWARD SAFETY ISSUE, THE PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME STRANDED AT A GAS STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER WHILE BEING 8-1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND MOST RECENTLY LEFT ME STRANDED WITH MY 8 MONTH OLD BABY. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED UNTIL SOME TIME AFTER THE LAST RECALL WAS RESOLVED.

REAR LIFT GATE CYLINDERS FOR THE BACK DOOR DO NOT WORK IN COLD - 50 DEGREES OR COOLER WEATHER. THEY DO NOT KEEP THE DOOR UP AND MANY TIMES THE BACK DOOR ALMOST OR DID COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION, FRACTURED SKULL OR BROKEN NECK. LUCKILY THE LAST TIME SOMEONE SAW IT ALMOST CRASH ON MY HEAD WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES THEY PICKED UP THE GATE BEFORE IT HIT MY HEAD. PRIOR INCIDENTS RESULTS IN THE DOOR HITTING MY HEAD.

VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION RECALL DONE. IN THE HOT WEATHER, YOU CAN'T RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING AS THE CAR WILL INDISCRIMINATELY STALL WHEN YOU COME TO EITHER A STOP LIGHT OR A YIELD. CAR HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. LAST WEEK, WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, RPMS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN. HAD TO FLOOR THE CAR TO GET GOING AND IT KNOCKED VERY HARD. HAD JEEP DEALER LOOK AT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE THAT JEEP IS NOT ADDRESSING. THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE A FAIR BUY BACK PRICE ON THE CAR, KNOWING WE HAVE A 19 YEAR OLD DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OUR LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CAR AND HE WOULDN'T PUT HIS FAMILY IN IT. JEEP DEALERS DON'T WANT TO FACE THE PROBLEM OR ADDRESS IT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT BECOMES MORE APPARENT IN SUMMER MONTHS OF HOT WEATHER.

MY JEEP HAD BEEN FUNCTIONING FINE UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN I WENT TO START IT THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CATCH. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT I NEED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS ON RECALL. IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE. MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS NOW UNRELIABLE AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT START. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I SHOULD RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR THE LOSS OF A VEHICLE AND WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. I'M WONDERING IF IT EVEN HAS ANY VALUE?

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

MY INTIAL ISSUE WITH MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER WHEN SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR EITHER WHEN GOING UP A GEAR OR WHEN YOU WERE SLOWING DOWN. IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD CRACKING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I ALREADY HAD A SENSOR REPLACED TO TRY AND CORRECT THAT ISSUE BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. THEN IN ADDITION, TO THAT THE JEEP STARTED STALLING OUT ON ME. I PERIODICALLY HAVE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ESP BAS LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT MY CONCERNS WITH HAVING TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH I BELIEVE IS RELATED TO THEIR P41 RECALL WITH NO SATISFICATION. I HAVE CODES B2185 AND U0401 IN THE COMPUTER OF MY JEEP WHICH CAME FROM MY LOCAL MECHANIC. CHRYSLER IS NO HELP. THE IRONIC THING IS I HAVE 2 - 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. THE SECOND ONE ISN'T MUCH BETTER. THAT ONE PERIODICALLY HAS ISSUES ALSO WITH LOSING POWER. WHEN IS CHRYSLER GOING TO BE FORCED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS RECALL? THEY ARE FORCING PEOPLE TO DRIVE UNSAFE VEHICLES AND PUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVES AT RISK.

NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURED YET, BUT I HAVE A BIG CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN POSTPONED, IGNORED AND POSTPONED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR...URGENT REPAIRS, CORRECTIONS NEEDED TO BE MADE FOR SAFTY. WHILE DRIVING ON HWY THE CAR HAS COMPLETLY TURNED OFF, DRIVING IT HAS JUST STOPPED FO NOT REASON AND BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS WHILE BACKING UP THE CAR TURNS OFF. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SENIORS WITH THIS AS OUT ONLY TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR DRS, GROCERY AND CARE NEEDS. WE ALSO HAVE OUR GRANDCHILDREN WE DROP OFF AND PICK UP FROM SCHOOL (10+13 YRS) UNSAFE FOR ALL BUT ONLY OPTIONS WE HAVE. PLEASE ASSIST US TO GET OUR VEHICLE REPAIRED ALREADY, THIS IS URGENTLY NEEDED. DAILY WE ARE STUGGLING TO GET TO AROUND AND NEED A RELIABLE, SAFE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE BEEN CALLING ANCIRA CHRYSLER JEEP SINCE 2014 AND CRYSLER GROUP FOR SOME TIME NOW ALSO BUT NO SOLUTION NOR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO ALYSSA, PAULA AND ANCIRA CHYSLER JEEP DODGE AS WELL (SERVICE DEPT) BUT NO ASSISTANCE TO A SOLUTION GIVEN.

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

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 GOING 65MPH. THIS VEHICLE IS A QUAD 4X4 AUTOMATIC / STICK SHIFT MANUAL, WHICH WAS IN MY FAVOR. WHEN I REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTING DOWN I HAD TO THINK QUICKLY WHAT MY NEXT STEPS WOULD BE. I STARTED TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BRAKE, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTING DOWN THE POWER BRAKES WHERE GOING OUT AND I COULD NOT BRAKE COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING AND I WAS ABOUT 200 YARDS AWAY FROM MY EXIT AND THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS WINDING AROUND TOWARD THE OFF RAMP AND GETTING SMALLER FOR ME TO DRIVE ON. I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT ABLE STOP THE VEHICLE BY USING THE FLOOR BRAKE THEN THE FEAR FACTOR SET IN. IN MY MIND THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS PULL THE STICK SHIFT HANDBRAKE AND QUICKLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN I WAS ABLE TO GET CONTROL AND SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS ORDEAL HAPPENED AT 4:20PM YESTERDAY AND BY THE TIME WE TOWED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER, SI FAIGE, ON SITE AT DARCARS IN NEW CARROLLTON, MD WHAT ALL TRANSPIRED ON THE ROAD IN THE UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT THEY SOLD US, HE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF IT. *TR

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

DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, MOST OFTEN APPROACHING A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF LEAVING NO POWER SYSTEMS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN ONE CASE. VEHICLE STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER OCCURRENCE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS AWARE OF THIS OCCURRING WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR BUT STATES IT PROBABLY WILL BE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT TOWED FROM POINT OF OCCURRENCE. DEALER STATED THEY COULD TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BY DRIVING IT AROUND??? I TOLD HIM YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I DON'T WANT MY WIFE OPERATE THE CAR. AS A RETIRED STATE TROOPER I AM EXPERIENCED IN OPERATING VEHICLES UNDER HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS BUT DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL AND ISSUE OCCURS. IT IS JUST A MATER OF TIME UNTIL THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS BOTH BY NHTSA COMPLAINT AND DIFFERENT FORUMS. *TR

WHILST DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (EQUIPPED WITH THE MERCEDES BENZ COMMON RAIL DIESEL (CRD) 3.0 L ENGINE) ON I-410 AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED, WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS ALSO MADE THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING INOPERATIVE. TODAY, THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION INDICATOR SENSOR AND IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE. I SHOULD THINK THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MFG. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 6 CYL 4X4. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS, USUALLY WHILE NEGOTIATING LEFT HAND CURVES. WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATES RAPIDLY. DURING THE POWER LOSS, I CAN PUT THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL REAR END CRASHES DUE TO THIS ISSUE, AS IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR RELATED ISSUES. ON 03/18/08 THE ABS WIRING HARNESS WAS RE-ROUTED BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THE SHIFTER MODULE HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED TWICE, HOWEVER, THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM IS ONGOING. THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS 09/25/09 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO COMPUTER CODE FOR THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIX OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE IT. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IT IS INEVITABLE THAT I WILL BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AS A RESULT OF THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN USELESS IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM AT MY WITS END AND I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH PAPA'S DODGE. *TR
