2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 38,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ALMOST RESULTING IN A FEW ACCIDENTS. I WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WHICH HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEPS THIS YEAR-MAKE-MODEL. THE PART ALONE COSTS OVER $700 AND IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR OVER A MONTH. THERE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL....THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! *TR

VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ACCELERATING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALL OF THE PRND LIGHTS SWITCHED TO HAVING A SQUARE AROUND THEM, NORMALLY, ONLY THE TRANSMISSION POSITION THAT YOU ARE IN WILL HAVE THE SQUARE AROUND THEM. WHILE GOING 20MPH THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ONCE UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HAD TO PUT ON HAZARDS AND HAD TO TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO MOVE AGAIN - WAS AT LEAST 45 SECONDS WITH NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES SO FAR. FOUR TIMES I WAS GOING BETWEEN 15-20, AND ONCE GOING 50. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHEN THIS OCCURS TOO. FOUR OF THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED I JUST MADE A TURN AND STARTED ACCELERATING, AND ONCE I WAS TRAVELING A STRAIGHT PATH.

THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSES POWER AND ALL THE PRND12 LIGHT UP. SOME DAYS IT WON'T GO INTO DRIVE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPS INTO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IF YOU SLOW DOWN, YOU CAN'T SPEED UP AGAIN, LIKE YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN IT WILL GO OFF AGAIN, MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE NO NOTICE THAT ANYTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU JUST LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY MORE THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS IN DRIVE, THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND IT'S AS IF THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, ETC. THE DEALER SAYS I NEED A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE TO THE TUNE OF $600+. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I AM LOOKING INTO GETTING JEEP TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PART. *TR

AUTO TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT NOT SHIFTING INTO GEARS CORRECTLY; LOSS POWER AROUND CURVES; SOMETIMES ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON; SOMETIMES ALL GEAR INDICATORS COME ON DASH; FEELS AS THOUGH CAN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ENTERING ONTO HIGHWAY OR PASSING. NOTHING DONE YET. CALLED DEALER, ONLINE SEARCHES. VERY VERY MANY SAME-SIMILAR ONLINE & VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR $700+. APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE PART & SHOULD BE RECALL/DEALER REPLACE/REPAIR!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE GEAR SHIFTER MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

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

THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED. SHE WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN OCTOBER 2010, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE WAS BEING REPLACED AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE PART. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,200. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED AS HE STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED FLUIDS LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PLUGGED ADAPTER GUIDE BUSHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. AT 29,500 MILES, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONSOLE SHIFT WAS REPAIRED. AT 34,500 MILES, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. ALL FOUR TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE YET THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE SOFTWARE WOULD NEED AN UPDATE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,600. UPDATED 11/16/10*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IS STILL NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND STAYS IN FIRST GEAR TOO LONG. UPDATED 11/16/10*JB
