2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FROM LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS!!! *TT

UPON DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I FELT MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION CHANGE GEARS, WHICH FELT LIKE NEUTRAL. MY CAR SLOWED A BIT BUT THEN SPED BACK UP, AND THEN SLOWED AGAIN AND SPED BACK UP. I THEN NOTICED THE P, R, N, D WERE ALL LIT UP. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION WHEN THIS OCCURRED. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN INCORRECT GEAR RATIO AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,600 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THE FAILURE RECURRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,300.

ESM- ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE ISSUE: P, R, N, D, L ALL LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE CAR GETS CONFUSED AS TO WHICH GEAR IT SHOULD BE USING. OCCASIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. AFTER REVERSING, I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT SHIFTS ROUGHLY. RANDOMLY THE CAR LOSES POWER DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I HAD THE ESM REPLACED AND A MONTH LATER IS SHOWING A U404 CODE. *TR

VEHICLE IS 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND CURRENTLY HAS 18300 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JAN. 2008. TWO FAILURE TO ACCELERATE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED. ONE ON 5/31/10 AND ANOTHER ON 04/21/11. 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. THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS APPLY IF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATES FROM 70 TO 30 MPH. *TR

THE DASH INDICATORS FOR THE GEAR SHIFT WILL ALL ILLUMINATE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK IN GEAR AFTER TAPING THE SHIFT LEVER SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THEY KEPT THE OLD PART THAT WAS REMOVED. *TR

WHEN PUTTING TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AT APPROX 31,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SHIFT CONTROL MODULE. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THEN AGAIN AT 62,000 MILES, WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THEN LOST POWER. ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE DRIVERS DOOR HAD HE NOT SWERVED. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION KEY , THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY, TOOK TO DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SAME SHIFT CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (AGAIN) FOR 750.00. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I AM SHOCKED THAT SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN KILLED BY THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON A WIDE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME REPAIR BEING PERFORMED ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPEAT ITSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DRIVE SHAFT HIT THE GROUND AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE DIFFERENTIAL JOINT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE POLICE WERE NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO FURTHER ASSESS THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RULING FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

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
