MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (FIRST INCIDENT) WHILE TURNING A CORNER AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20MPH REVVED UP, WOULD NOT SHIFT, AND PRND WERE ALL LIT UP ON THE DASH, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A FEW STARTS THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF. SECOND INCIDENT, FROM DEAD STOP AT A LIGHT AND ACCELERATING, SAME ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AGAIN. THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED 4 TIMES WITHIN 2 MONTHS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT YOUR SPEED DROPS DOWN OUT OF NO WHERE AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, CAUSING HARM TO CAR A DRIVERS, ESPECIALLY BEHIND YOU, THEM NOT BEING AWARE THAT YOU ARE SUDDENLY ABOUT TO DROP SPEED WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS! *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT STALLS OUT AND MY RPM'S DON'T MOVE, ALL THE BOXES AROUND PRND LIGHT UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF. ONCE THIS IS DONE THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A DAY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS VERY SCARY TO JUST DROP SPEED DOWN TO 40. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES.

THIS IS A 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WITH 62200 MILES. I HAD DRIVEN INTO A 7-11 PARKING LOT AND ALMOST CAME TO A HALT DECIDING WHETHER TO PARK ON THE RIGHT OR LEFT. DECIDED TO PARK ON THE RIGHT. CAR WAS AT AROUND 2 MILES PER HOUR, LIFTED MY LEG OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO HIT BRAKE, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CLIMBED OVER THE SIDEWALK, SLICED AND FELLED A TREE AND RAMMED INTO A LAUNDROMAT. BRAKE WAS APPLIED TO THE POINT OF LITERALLY STANDING ON IT WITH WHOLE BODY WEIGHT BUT CAR DID NOT RESPOND. FINALLY THE CAR CAME TO A HALT ALTHOUGH ENGINE WAS MAKING REVVING SOUNDS FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INSIDE THE LAUNDROMAT. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT WAS BADLY DAMAGED. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. COP WAS ALSO SURPRISED AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY FOR THIS HARD A CRASH. THE CAR HAS BEEN OWNED BY ME SINCE NEW FOR 7 YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. INSURANCE SENT A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN TO CHECK, BUT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. CAR IS MORE THAN LIKELY TOTALED AT THIS POINT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, SOMEONE CAN GET BADLY INJURED FOR LIFE, OR DEATHS CAN OCCUR. *TR

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED ACTING UP ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE. IT HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING AND IDENTIFYING WHAT GEAR IT IS IN ON A DAILY BASIS, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE FROM PARK PRND WILL ALL BE ILLUMINATED LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN AND IT WILL MAKE A LOUD THUD SOUND. THEN WHEN YOU DRIVE IT WON'T SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR AND WILL REV UP OR IT WILL GET STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND WON'T DOWN SHIFT. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE DRIVING NORMAL AND WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN GO TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC IT WILL STALL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I CAN'T GET IT TO SNAP OUT OF IT! IT WILL ALSO DECIDE THAT IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND WILL START TO REV UP AND FREEZE ON ME. THIS IS VERY UNSETTLING AND DANGEROUS AND COULD DEFIANTLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN OTHER REVIEWS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SO IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE JUST A COINCIDENCE TO ME AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO WHATS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX IT. *KB
