2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. UPDATED 8/30/11 *CN THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE WAS ELECTRICAL WIRE DAMAGE. UPDATED 09/21/11

BLACK PLASTIC CONNECTOR THAT CONNECTS YELLOW WIRE TO STARTER SOLENOID COMES LOOSE AND/OR GETS DIRTY OR CORRODED CAUSING IT NOT TO MAKE CONTACT AND THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES NOT START. I'VE HAVE SEEN ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS ALWAYS WANT TO REPLACE STARTER AND OTHER PARTS WHEN IT IS SIMPLY THIS POOR CONNECTION THAT'S THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER DENIES IT'S A PROBLEM AND DEALER MECHANICS WILL NOT PUT ON A BETTER CONNECTOR. THEY JUST LIKE TO KEEP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR NEW STARTERS AND OTHER PARTS WHEN THEY DON'T NEED THEM. THIS LOOSE CONNECTION ALSO COULD ALSO CAUSE A FIRE, IT IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN DESIGN AND A FIRE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T REALIZE THE CONNECTION IS BAD. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTING ISSUES. I HAVE HAD BEEN STRANDED THREE TIMES NOW DUE TO MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING, I HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED THREE TIMES. MECHANICS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF ON-LINE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I SPENT $700 LAST MONTH ON SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION (TRANSFER CASE MAYBE) AND IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN YESTERDAY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN. I AS A SINGLE MOTHER CANNOT BE CONTINUE TO BE STRANDED. APPARENTLY NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE JUST OVER 50,000 MILES ON IT, AND WOULD CONSIDER THIS TO BE A FAIRLY NEWER VEHICLE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. I ALSO SEEM TO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILLS. I AM SCARED I AM GOING TO BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE ALONE WITH MY DAUGHTER. *TR

HAVE SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT BEFORE BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. MY JEEP LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND SHUTS DOWN AND RESTARTS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING, OCCASIONALLY DOESN'T ACCELERATE PAST SECOND GEAR AND OTHER TIMES ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY, NUMEROUS BUT PROBLEM BEGAN RECURRING ONLY DAYS LATER. ONLY NOW MY JEEP IS ADDITIONALLY AT TIMES ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN BUT INSTEAD IS JUST FALTERING SHAKING THE WHOLE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY ACCOMPANIED BY THE STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON FIVE OCCASIONS ALL OF DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, TWO OF THESE TIMES THE ENGINE STALLED AND RESTARTED ITSELF. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE MOST DANGEROUS HAVE BEEN THE PRND LIGHTING UP AND VEHICLE NOT GOING OVER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 7 TIMES NOW, 4 OF WHICH HAVE TRIED TO BE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER WITHOUT SUCCESS OF THIS AND GAVE IT TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY TOLD ME 'NOTHING WAS WRONG' ACCORDING TO THEIR DIAGNOSTICS. PHOTO PROVED OTHERWISE. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT ITSELF OFF TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. THE WINDOWS ALSO GET STUCK AND WILL NOT WORK. HAVE TO OPERATE ONE WINDOW TO MAKE THE OTHER ONE WORK. THE BATTERY FAILED AND 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" ERROR HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE AGENT SAID IT WAS A FALSE READOUT DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE FIRST STARTED YESTERDAY ON 04 /10/2011 I NEED HELP MY CAR IS IN NEWARK NJ. *TR

VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. YOU WILL BE CRUSING ALONG OR PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND YOU WILL LOOSE ALL POWER. THE ENGINE WILL NOT REV, NO RESPONSE AT ALL. AFTER WAITING FOR A PERION OF TIME, THE VEHICLE STARTS GOING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES, ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, FOUR LANES IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOST ALL POWER. VERY SCARY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GARAGE, AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND JEEP TO DO THE SAME THING. THE OWNER HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO THE GARAGE, AND UPON ARRIVAL, COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I HAD TO GO TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER, AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY EVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING, AND THE REPLY WAS, JUST 3 OR 4 TIMES....IMAGING IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENED THIS OFTEN IN THIS SMALL AREA, HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES MAY BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 31000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR TIME BY 9 MONTHS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY LOOSE ALL POWER AND DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN IT IS COMING BACK. CHRYSLER SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I DON'T BELIEVE THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE HE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAILURES WITH HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A DRIVE BY SENSOR WITHIN THE ENGINE, THE REAR LIFT GATE LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OF $100 EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. NONE OF THE FAILURES WERE RECALLS NOR WAS THERE A WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,107.

IN MAY 2008, 15308 MI ON JEEP, SLOWING FOR RED LIGHT, DIES, ALL DASH LIGHTS COM ON, NO POWER TO STEER, NO WIPERS, ETC.; STARTS BACK ON IT'S OWN. TOOK TO DEALER, NO CODE, NO RE-ACT; HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENT SINCE-SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC. NOW TRANNY PROBLEM, STARTED SEPT. 2010, 37,600 MI, CODE 750, CHANGED SOLENOID PK IN TRANNY, NOW CODE FOR LOW PRESSURE SEND CIRCUIT, DRIVES A FEW MILES THEN GOES AND STAYS IN 4TH GEAR; 3 MONTHS AND STILL NOT DRIVABLE. NEED RECALL FOR ESM AND TBS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS & BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGN AND COMPONENTS. THIS IS VERY DISHEARTENING SINCE BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A SMALL BIZ AND ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN AND NOW ADD THE EXPENSE OF DIAGNOSING CHRYSLER'S PROBLEM IS JUST TOO MUCH! I WARRANTY MY WORK, WEAR & TEAR CONSIDERED, AS SHOULD CHRYSLER BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR WORSE- DIES TRYING TO GET TO OUT OF TRAFFIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN SLOWLY PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN. GAUGES STOPPED WORKING THEN SUDDENLY CAME BACK ON. VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE WITH SHIFTING AND CAR FELT VERY SLUGGISH. OCCURRED 3-4 TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM DESPITE MANY ONLINE REPORTS OF THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT. *TR
