2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Problems

Your 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalled without warning while you were trying to accelerate from a stop sign. The dealer found loose wires, and an independent mechanic suspected a faulty ignition switch, but the issue couldn't be reliably reproduced. The vehicle was never officially diagnosed or repaired, leaving the stalling problem unresolved. You may need to have the ignition switch and engine wiring connections inspected and tightened or replaced.

I HAVE 2 ISSUES. 1ST IS JEEP INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T START. WHICH SOMETIMES CAUSES IT TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ON SIDE STREETS. IT CRANKS BUT DOESN'T FIRE. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. NEXT ISSUE IS IT INTERMITTENTLY PUTS IN SELF IN ALL GEARS SOMETIMES WHEN I START IT AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE TO TURN JEEP OFF AND RESTART IT. WORST HAS BEEN WHEN I'M ON HIGHWAY AND IT DOES THIS I GO FROM 75MPH TO 20MPH AT A DANGEROUS RATE. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF AND RESTART AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. AND PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE OFTEN.

ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHETHER I'M TRAVELING 10 MPH OR 70 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS! NO WARNING SIGNS OR LIGHTS BEFORE SHUT DOWN OCCURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GALEANA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (14375 S TAMIAMI TRL, FORT MYERS, FL 33912, (855) 732-1313) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2005

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND, SHORTLY AFTER, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. POLICE AND FIRE REPORTS WERE NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE, BUT FOUND NO INFORMATION OR RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE I STOPPED AND WENT INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT IN 5-10 MINUTES AND ATTEMPTED TO STARTED IT, THE ENGINE FELT AS THOUGH IT WERE "JUMPING". HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT HAD DROPPED A VALVE SEAT. CHRYSLER DETERMINED THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN OVERHEATED. HOWEVER THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO OVERHEAT CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE GAUGES HAVE NEVER READ HOT. IT WAS NOT LOW ON COOLANT. THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS. IT WAS NEVER HOT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A 5.7 LITER HEMI V-8. IT CURRENTLY HAS AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK BECAUSE JEEP USES CHEAP SCREWS TO MOUNT THE MANIFOLD TO THE ENGINE BLOCK. AS SUCH, THE SCREWS SNAP CAUSING A LEAK. THIS IS A WELL KNOW PROBLEM FOR THIS ENGINE BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND THE REPAIRS WILL BE A MINIMUM OF $500. NEVER BUY A JEEP!

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AT ABOUT 124,000 MILES. LUCKILY IN THE DRIVEWAY WHERE I HAD PARKED THE CAR AFTER RUNNING NORMAL ERRANDS. THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED SINCE THE BATTERY WAS NEW AND THE STARTER SEEMED FROZEN. I TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF THIS CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND AT A TOP LOCAL GARAGE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. I WAS STUNNED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NOTHING. THE LOCAL MECHANIC SAW "CHUNKS OF METAL" IN THE PAN. I NOW NEED A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE 5 WEEKS AFTER AN OIL CHANGE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN MY JEEP HEMI ENGINE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTER OR NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS APPARENTLY WELL KNOWN AND RELATIVELY COMMON PROBLEM. I HAD EVERY RECALL PERFORMED ON THIS CAR. THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH APPARENTLY INCLUDES THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THE HEMI IS A GOOD ENGINE. REALLY??? NO APOLOGIES, NO CALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. OUT OF WARRANTY, SO IT IS JUST TOO BAD FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER. THEY KNOW THE DESIGN FLAW EXISTS BUT DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER. JUST THEIR BOTTOM LINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION IN MOST CASES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM LOSING POWER COMPLETELY. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT PULLED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHERMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM IN SKOKIE, ILLINOIS WHERE THE FOLLOWING SERIES OF REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE: THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SPARK PLUGS, THE FAN CLUTCH, COIL #6, A DRIVE CONTROL MODULE, THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE, FUEL INJECTION SERVICE, DECARBONIZATION SERVICE TO COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND UPPER INTAKE TO THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. HEAD AND PISTON DAMAGE. NORMAL EVERY DAY DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP ENGINE IN THIS CAR THAT BLEW UP AT 70K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V4380000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE MEDIAN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER VARIOUS ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I OWN A 07 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 5.7L V8 HEMI. I LOVED THAT TRUCK AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF IT. NEARLY 10 MONTHS AGO I HAD A VALVE SEAT DROP WITHOUT WARNING AT 92K MILES AND NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE AND I KEPT VERY GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES I STOPPED AT A STORE TO GET MATERIALS, WHEN I RETURNED AND TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT HASN'T STARTED SINCE THAT DAY. IT WAS TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND $150 LATER THEY LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY "THOUGHT" THE ISSUE WAS, BUT I WAS STILL INFORMED THE ONLY WAY TO CONFIRM I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WAS TO CHARGE ME $1,500 TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART AND "DIAGNOSE" THE ISSUE, NOT FIX IT. THEY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND STILL TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. ON TOP OF THAT EVERY CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AND MAINTENANCE PERSON I'VE TALKED TO ABOUT THIS ISSUE (4) HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL, TO THE POINT OF BEING RUDE. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER, I WAS QUOTED NEARLY $8,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GUARANTEE THE ISSUE WON'T OCCUR AGAIN SINCE THEY HAVE THE SAME PARTS. I SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THAT AMOUNT OF WORK, SO NOW I'M JUST MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEAD TRUCK THAT'S OF NO USE TO ME. FCA IS A JOKE OF A COMPANY, AND THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

THE DIESEL ENGINE JEEP PUT IN GRAND CHEROKEES, THE 3.0 LITRE MERCEDES-BENZ ENGINE, HAS A "SWIRL VALVE" PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE IT TURNED 75,000 MILES. IT CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND GOING UP HILLS. IT ALSO MAKES THE GAS MILEAGE TO PLUMMET. REPAIRS WERE TOLD TO ME BY THE DEALER TO BE $5,800. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS CAR. THE DEALER TOLD US THE ENGINE WOULD GO 300,000 MILES, NO PROBLEM.

TOOK IN JAN '15 FOR RECALLS - THEY ONLY FIXED 1 OF THE 3 (I HAD MADE AN APPT FOR ALL) IN DEC '15 IT KEPT LEAVING ME STRANDED AS THE RECALLS HAD NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY FINALLY FIIXED THE OTHER 2 (SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND IGNITION SWITCH. I CALLED 3 WEEKS AGO AS IT KEPT SAYING "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" AND SEVERAL TIMES SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL LOW. NOW IT WON'T START AND IS STUCK AGAIN. LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AND IT IS WORTHLESS.

ONE SATURDAY NIGHT I NEEDED TO RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A TERRIBLE TAPPING NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC ABOUT THE CAR, I WAS TOLD IT IS PROBABLY A DROPPED VALVE SEAT. NOW, I AM LOOKING AT OVER $4000 TO SWAP AN ENGINE THAT WAS NEVER HOT-RODDED OR ABUSED. AFTER A SIMPLE SEARCH ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINES. SO MUCH SO THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION SUIT.

THE VEHICLE STALLS A VARIOUS SPEEDS, BUT TYPICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY DAILY COMMUTE IS ABOUT 32 MILES EACH WAY AND I TYPICALLY EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ONCE PER DAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES STALL I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, THEN RESTART BY TURNING THE IGNITION BACK ON AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE BACK IN DRIVE. I DID HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED FOR RECALL P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 WHICH WAS TO RESOLVE ISSUES WITH LOSS OF POWER DURING DRIVING BUT NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN NOTICED SINCE THE REPAIR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES, BESIDE THE RECALL REPAIR, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT NEVER FIXED. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY AS THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT LOOSES POWER STEERING SO CONTROL AND SPEED PUT OURSELVES AND OTHERS AT DANGER. THE DATE AND MILEAGE MENTIONED BELOW IS THE LAST TIME THE STALL OCCURRED AND NOT REFLECTIVE OF ALL THE OCCURRENCES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. I HAVE CALLED EVERY "CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE" DEALERSHIP AROUND ME AND ALL DEALERSHIPS HAVE A WAITING LIST OF A MINIMUM OF 2-3 MONTHS FOR PARTS TO BE IN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY I FEEL THAT IT'S A BIT UNREASONABLE FOR ME (AND THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE LIST) TO WAIT FOR MONTHS FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED.

IGNITION RECALL REPAIRS MADE. ENGINE STILL STALLS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED. AFTER PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK, HAVE TO REMOVE KEY AND REINSERT IT TO START ENGINE. NO POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, OR AIR BAG FUNCTIONALITY WHEN THIS OCCURS. ENGINE DOES NOT ALWAYS START RIGHT AWAY, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC LANES OR INTERSECTIONS. SERIOUS HAZARD. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND NO DIAGNOSIS. TO ATTEMPT DIAGNOSIS NOW AT DEALERSHIP, AM CHARGED $130. IF NO DIAGNOSIS MADE, THEN I HAVE TO PAY THE CHARGES. THIS IS AN UNTENABLE SITUATION FOR WHICH THE JEEP MANUFACTURER IS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST - I HAVE EMAILED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. TO GET RID OF THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO TRADE IT IN AT A DEALERSHIP SINCE IT IS NOT SELLABLE PRIVATELY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR STALLS IN MOTION OR AT REST AND HAS QUIT ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAYS - VERY DANGEROUS!!! SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS QUIT WHILE IN TURNS AND WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. IT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS COLD. ONE DAY IT STALLED 5 TIMES.

WHILE IN MOTION, 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STOPS. HIGHWAY DRIVING. I COASTED TO A STOP AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. VERY SCARY OCCURRENCE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUMES ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FIREWALL OF THE VEHICLE WAS BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAPPENED 3 TIMES. ONLY IGNITION KEY ON KEY RING. CAR SHUT OFF WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDDLE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGN. COASTED TO OTHER SIDE OF INTERSECTION, TURNED OFF KEY AND RESTARTED. CAR SHUT OFF AFTER PUSHING GAS PEDDLE, MAKING LEFT HAND TURN AFTER LIGHT GAVE GREEN ARROW TO ENTER A FREEWAY ON RAMP. PULLED OFF TO SIDE OF FREEWAY RAMP TURNED OFF KEY AND RESTARTED. CAR SHUT OFF AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION STOP SIGN. AFTER CLEANING TRAFFIC PUSHED GAS PEDDLE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT. CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER OF ROAD AVOIDING ONCOMING AND APPROACHING TRAFFIC. SHUT OFF KEY AND RESTARTED. MERGED INTO APPROACHING TRAFFIC. RECEIVED RECALL IN SEPT 2014. HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTINUALLY. THEY CONTINUE TO ADVISE THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR RECALL DEFECT AND THEREFORE CANNOT MAKE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. I FEEL THEY ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE AND THOSE OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD WHO MAY STRIKE MY DISABLED CAR AFTER IGNITION SHUT OFF.

BRI WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE VEHICLE CUT OFF I PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPACE IN FORT PAYNE ALABAMA TRY TO CRANK IT AGAIN IT WOULD NOT CRANK AND IT DONE IT BEFORE BUT IT WILL CRANK BACK UP FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE SOFTWARE SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT NOW THEY SAY IT'S THE KEY AND I CAN'T GET ONE BECAUSE IT'S ON BACKORDER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR AND ITS BEEN IN THERE FOR 2 MONTH AND WE NEED A VEHICLE OR WE WON'T HAVE A JOB WE ARE HITCHING RIDES WITH PEOPLE

I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED RACING BUT THE JEEP DID NOT ACCELERATE IT INSTEAD LOSS ALL POWER. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND JUST THE JEEP OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND CALLED THE SERVICE GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SECURITY SYSTEM HAD SHUT DOWN THE JEEP. IT HAS SINCE DID THAT AT LEAST 10 MORE TIMES AND SO FAR EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN AS SOON AS I PULL OUT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH AND IT LOSES POWER ON A CROWDED FREEWAY. I RECENTLY LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER. RECALL NUMBER 14V-438.AND I NO WAY BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY MY KNEE HITTING THE IGNITION SWITCH, THAT IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE.

I RECEIVED AN 'IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL' (P41) IN SEPTEMBER 2014. THE NOTICE INDICATED THAT THE NECESSARY PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE NOTICE WHEN IT WAS. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THAT NOTICE. I TRIED CALLING AND WAS TOLD TO HOLD TO SPEAK WITH A REP - I HAVE HELD FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME AND NO ONE ANSWERS. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I NEED IT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE IN THAT CAR THIS SUMMER AND I MUST INSIST THAT THEY BE SAFE. PLEASE ADVISE WHEN THE NECESSARY PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE DRIVING 60 ON THE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY HAD NO ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, THE DASH LIGHTS STAYED THE SAME AS WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY OFF, THEN STARTED IT ON THE FIRST TRY. IT THEN DROVE FINE. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, 3-3-2015, I'M SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I ACCELERATE, THE JEEP STARTS TO MOVE FORWARD, THEN AGAIN, LOSES ALL POWER. I PULL OVER, TRY TO START THE JEEP, IT WON'T START. I IMMEDIATELY TRY AGAIN, IT WON'T START. I WAIT ABOUT 20 SECONDS, TRY AGAIN, IT STARTS. DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE NIGHT. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN 4-6 LANES OF TRAFFIC! ONE OF THESE TIMES I WON'T BE AS LUCKY AS I HAVE BEEN! THIS IS ONLY A FEW OF THE ONGOING PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS JEEP. YOU CAN CHECK WITH THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LEE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN FORT WALTON BEACH TO FIND OUT WHAT PART THEY REPLACED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR, THAT I STRONGLY BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY ONE OF YOUR MANY RECALLS. I REALLY HOPE YOU PLAN TO RECOMPENSATE US FOR ALL THE TROUBLE THIS HAS CAUSED US. OBVIOUSLY I NEED TO BE RID OF THIS JEEP BEFORE IT GETS ME KILLED. *TR

ENGINE STARTED STALLING WHILE COASTING TO STOPS AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL WHILE STOPPED. IN TIME WITH HIGHER MILEAGE THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALSO. NO PRIOR WARNING OR DASH WARNING LIGHTS WOULD WARN AHEAD OF STALL. EVENTUALLY WITH HIGHER MILEAGE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCASIONALLY WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING BUT WOULDN'T CAUSE STALLING PROBLEM. AT 95,000 MILES HAD DEALER FLASH PCM PER TSB 18-004-08 FOR CODE P0430, POWER FLUSHED AND CLEANED ENGINE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. REMOVED AND CLEANED THROTTLE BODY ON INTAKE MANIFOLD AND ENSURED PROPER MINIMUM AIR FLOW SETTINGS, FLUSHED COMBUSTION CHAMBER TO REMOVE CARBON DEPOSITS. TSB 18-004-08 RESOLVED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FROM COMING ON BUT STILL HAVE STALLING AT IDLE OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. ENGINE PERFORMS AS ALWAYS WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS BEFORE STALLS. *TR

I HAD RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING A RECALL ON MY JEEP. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN DISTRIBUTED YET. WHEN I CALLED AGAIN RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WEREN'T EVEN MADE YET AND TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HEAVY WAS HANGING FROM MY KEYS. USE MY CAR EVERYDAY AND I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WERE THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON MY AND/ OR HAS HAD NO POWER TO IT WHEN DRIVING. I FEEL AS THOUGH NO ONE IS HELPING US WITH THIS MATTER. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS INSTEAD OF BEING LEFT IN THE DARK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2 YEARS AGO IN ALABAMA. WE HAVE SINCE MOVED TO NEW YORK STATE AND THEY DO VEHICLE INSPECTIONS (ALABAMA DOES NOT). WHEN GETTING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CUT OUT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NON EXISTENT. ALL OTHER CUT OUTS ARE PRESENT AND THE LED FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS PRESENT AND WORKING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS STAMPED AS BEING ORIGINAL AND NOT AFTERMARKET. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A CUT OUT THE LED FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT VISIBLE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTALLED AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP (FX CAPRARA) AND THEY TOLD ME TODAY THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. A NEW PANEL BEING $600 AND A USED PANEL FROM MY LOCAL PICK AND PULL BEING $125. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY AND THEY AGAIN TOLD ME JEEP CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND THAT IT IS UP TO THE DEALERSHIPS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD BE UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THIS. IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED ON THAT LEVEL. I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE WHEN PURCHASING THE CAR BUT ONE CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO PULL THE DASH PANEL TO ENSURE ALL THE CUT OUTS ARE PRESENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AS IT CANNOT BE USED UNTIL IT PASSES INSPECTION. IT ALSO POSSES A SAFETY CONCERN AS YOU ARE UNABLE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A CODE PRESENT. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH A RESOLUTION IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN, I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT BUT DRIVING TO DIFFERENT STATE. SINCE THEN, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND SINCE THERE IS NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT WOULD STALL AT ANY SPEED, TEMPERATURE OR ANY CONDITION. I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY STALL AT THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. ALTHOUGH IT WOULD START RIGHT AWAY BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKE 3-4 TIMES TO TURN OVER. I HOPE CHRYSLER WOULD FIND A FIX FOR THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC TURBO WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WENT FASTER. I TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I WENT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LOOKED UP A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A K 11 RECALL. WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WELL I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE TO EXTEND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES. I WILL BRING THE VEHICLE TO A JEEP DEALER. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHETHER AT A STOP, OR AT ANY SPEED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL SHUT OFF. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND START THE ENGINE. IT WILL NOT RESTART UNLESS THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE AFTER THAT NORMALLY. HAPPENS EVERY 50-100 MILES AND TENDS TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN IN WARMER WEATHER. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ACTION THAT HAS OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE OCCURRENCES SUCH AS FILLING THE TANK. DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM AND NO OBD CODES ARE DISCLOSED. I ESTIMATE IT HAS HAPPENED 200 TIMES. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE MIL ILLUMINATED, BUT CLEARED UPON THE NEXT POWER-ON CYCLE, SO NO CODES COULD CAPTURED; SUBSEQUENT READS REVEALED NO STORED CODES. RESTART REQUIRED THE VEHICLE TO BE IN PARK; ATTEMPTS WHILE IN NEUTRAL RESULTED IN THE ENGINE TURNING OVER, BUT IMMEDIATELY DYING. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE MERGING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER. ALL POWER ASSIST SYSTEMS (BRAKES, STEERING) FAILED; RESTART FROM NEUTRAL WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND REQUIRED FULL POWER-OFF IN PARK. UPON RESTART, THE MIL WAS CLEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING ABNORMALLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NO REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE 1500 MILES I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. 3 OCCASIONS HAVE BEEN AT IDLE AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. NO CODES ARE LOGGED, NO CHECK ENGINE OR MALFUNCTION LIGHTS COME ON. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHUT DOWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE RADIATOR FAN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN IDLING AT RED LIGHTS AND OCCASIONALLY SHUTS DOWN SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH THE HEMI V8 ENGINE AND IT IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MATTER. THERE IS AN ENTIRE THREAD ABOUT THIS AT HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F67/2007-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-OVERLAND-STALLING-PROBLEM-1147825/. *TR

ON 12/5/2012 MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH ONLY 33,466 MILES STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT HOWEVER SINCE THEN THE STALLING PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE I RECENTLY HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS COURTEOUS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY TOLD ME THAT THE HEMI ENGINES HAVE THIS KNOWN PROBLEM FOR STALLING AND THEY HAD TO CHANGE OUT $1500.00 WORTH OF PARTS TO HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. SADLY MY EXTENDED COVERAGE DID NOT COVER THE COST DUE TO THE LACK OF CHRYSLER/JEEP NOT BEING ABLE TO GIVE THEM AN ACTUAL BROKEN PART NUMBER. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER/JEEP IS JUST PLAYING GUESSING GAMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM! WHILE RESEARCHING THE WEB I CAME ACROSS A WEB SITE CALLED "WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM" AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP. SADLY I KNOW THIS WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS AT THE NHTSA AS OTHERS HAVE ALSO STATED ON THE JEEP FORUM WEB SITE, BUT I'M HOPING BY TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE THIS POST THAT IT WILL INFORM ANYBODY WHO IS CONSIDERING TO BUY A JEEP VEHICLE TO THINK TWICE AS CHRYSLER/JEEP ARE PRODUCING PURE JUNK VEHICLES THAT YOU COULD END UP COMPROMISING YOUR LIFE AND OTHERS AROUND YOU! REMEMBER HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAN'T BE WRONG!! *TR

ORIGINALLY HAVING ISSUES SLOWING DOWN GOING AROUND CORNERS AND UP A STEEP INCLINE. FELT LIKE VEHICLE WAS STAYING IN HIGHER GEAR, YOU COULD DOWN SHIFT IT MANUALLY. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE NO CODES PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM. THEN LAST YEAR IN AUGUST 2011 WE DID A CROSS COUNTY TRIP (7000 MILES) VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT BOTH LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEEDS, NOT EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ITSELF AND OTHERS THE KEY HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REINSERTED, BUT MOST TIMES NOT. THE WEATHER DID NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR. UPON RETURN VEHICLE HAD APPROX 45,000 MILES, CODES RETREIVED FROM VEHICLE WERE MULTIPLE. ACTIVE CODES: B2105, C121C PENDING CODE: P0524 STORED CODES P0129, P0688, P0884. AT 35,000 MILES NEW OEM SPARK PLUGS AND WATER PUMP (DUE TO COOLANT LEAK) WITH NEW ANTIFREEZE. VEHICLE IS SERVICED REGULARLY EVERY 3,000 MILES SINCE NEW. SINCE 45,000 MILES ALL RELATED CIRCUITS AND COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND CHECKED FOR PROPER OPERATION. NEW CRANK SENSOR AND ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH. CODE B2105 KEEPS RECURRING EVEN WITHOUT STALL. ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS AND GROUNDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND CHECKED, NEW BATTERY AT 36,000. HAD VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. MY HUSBAND HAS 40 YEARS AS CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC AND IS VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF (STALL), THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND ANY DRIVING CONDITION, OCCASIONALLY IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART, TAKING MULTIPLE TRIES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING ACROSS THE OPPOSING LANE. THE STALLING HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AT TIMES, AS MUCH AS 3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY. *TR

BEGAN STALLING WHEN STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP WITH FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. ENGINE WOULD START UP JUST BY RESTARTING THE JEEPS. MONTHS LATER SOMETIMES YOU WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF BEFORE IT WOULD START,. ON AVERAGE IT WOULD STALL ONCE EVERY 7 TO 10 DAYS. NO CODES, STORED OR PENDING DURING THIS JOURNEY. REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR. CHECK HOSES FOR VACUUM LEAK, FOUND NONE. REPLACED THE ASD RELAY. CHANGED FROM PREMIUM TO MID GRADE. CHANGED TO REGULAR GRADE. CHECKED AIR FILTER AND CLEANED THROTTLE BODY WITH STP CLEANER. ADDED FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER TO FUEL TANK. CHECKED ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC CONNECTORS, NONE LOOSE OR DAMAGED. CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL WAS FINE. REPLACED MAP SENSOR AND POSITION CRANK SENSOR. REPLACE EGR VALVE CHANGED OIL AND FILTER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE JEEP. USED SAE 5W30. WITH 79,000 MILES ON THE HEMI I REPLACED ALL SIXTEEN CHAMPION 570 WITH NEW CHAMPION 570. SPRAYED EACH OF THE 16 BOOTS WITH ELECTRONIC CLEANER VERIFIED THE PLUG GAP AND TORQUED THE PLUGS. SPRAYED VAST AMOUNT OF STP THROTTLE BODY CLEANER IN THE TB AND STP FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER IN THE GAS TANK. STILL STALLING. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHILE AT IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT, AND IT HAPPENS WHILE AT SPEED. IT HASN'T OCCURRED YET AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. EVERYTIME IT STALLS, I GET A OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT. I OCCASIONALLY RECEIVE A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT AS WELL. I ALSO OCCASIONALLY RECEIVE A ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) INDICATOR LIGHT WHEN MY POWER STEERING CUTS OFF DUE TO THE ENGINE STALL. THE PROBLEM ALWAYS CORRECTS ITSELF UPON SHUTTING THE KEY OFF, AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE NOR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. FYI, I RECENTLY HAD MY 5 YEAR POWERTRAIN INSPECTION DONE BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND MY JEEP PASSED WITH NO NOTED ISSUES. I HAVE INCLUDED A LINK TO A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. HERE'S THE LINK TO THE WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2007/JEEP/GRAND+CHEROKEE/ENGINE+AND+ENGINE+COOLING+SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONSUMER THEN COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,000. UPDATED 12/03/12 *BF

ENGINE STALLING DURING DECELERATION DUE TO OEM SPARK PLUGS THUS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES WHEN IT IS NEEDED THE MOST. CHAMPION SPARK PLUGS HAS 2 DIFFERENT SPARK PLUGS WITH SAME PART NUMBER RE14MCC4. THIS IS THE CHRYSLER OEM SUPPLIER ANS PART NUMBER FOR HEMI ENGINE SPARK PLUGS THROUGH 2007. ONE OF THE TWO SPARK PLUGS IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE HEMI ENGINE AND LEADS TO STALLING WHILE DECELERATING. THE CONSUMER HAS NO INFORMATION ON WHICH ONE TO USE. NATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE PARTS DISTRIBUTORS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE DIFFERENCE. CHRYSLER HAS AN INTERNAL MEMO ("STAR CASE") THAT DOCUMENTS THE ISSUE BUT HAS NOT RELEASED IT TO THE PUBLIC. I WAS SHOWN THE MEMO BUT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A COPY. NO TSBS EXISTS. NO RECALL EITHER. NHTSA TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HANDLE THIS. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE FTC. THE FTC TOOK MY COMPLAINT BUT REFERRED ME TO THE DOT AS THEY WERE CONCERNED FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. I HAVE SIDE BY SIDE PICTURES OF THE 2 SPARK PLUGS WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER AND WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPLY THEM. I ALSO HAVE ONE OF EACH PLUG IN MY POSSESSION. THERE IS VISUAL DIFFERENCES. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED IN A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. IT STARTED TO STALL WHILE DECELERATING AFTER THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE INTERVAL. DID CHAMPION CHANGE MANUFACTURING PROCESS? DID CHRYSLER REQUEST A CHANGE DUE TO A DISCOVERED ISSUE AFTER PRODUCTION? IF IT WAS CHAMPIONS FAULT ONE WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD ISSUE A TSB AS THEY WOULD HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. SINCE THEY ARE NOT RELEASING THE INFO ARE THEY THE ONES THAT REQUESTED THE CHANGE? THE CORRECT SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGES AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE SHUT OFF AS IF SOMEONE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION KEY. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY AT A LOWER SPEED OF 65 MPH. TWENTY MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF FOUR (4) TIMES IN A TRIP OF APPROX. 400 MILES. AN ONLINE SEARCH INDICATES THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN OTHER VEHICLES. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT CHRYSLER JEEP CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! THE FRIGHTENING THING IS THAT THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE. WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN GET IT INTO A DEALER FOR THEM TO ATTEMPT A REPAIR. *TR

I WRITE THIS ONLY BECAUSE I JUST EXPERIENCE MY FOURTH MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN IN THREE YEARS. IN DECEMBER 2009, I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST BREAKDOWN IN WHAT HAS BECOME A STRING OF MALFUNCTIONS. THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO GAVE OUT AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES. WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, I GOT A 'TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT' MESSAGE ON THE DASH DISPLAY ALONG WITH THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND IT TOOK NEARLY A MONTH FOR THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOCATE, RECEIVE AND INSTALL THE NECESSARY PARTS. APPARENTLY SUPPLY AND DEMAND HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT, INDICATING TO ME THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE NATIONWIDE. A MONTH LATER, ANOTHER MALFUNCTION, THIS TIME, THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) HAD DIED. JUST OVER A YEAR LATER, THE SAME COMPONENT (ESM) DIED AGAIN (OF COURSE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY), THIS TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALONG RT. 50 OUTSIDE OF DC. NOW, LESS THAN SIX MONTHS LATER, WITH LESS THAN 40,000 ON THE ALREADY REPLACED TRANSMISSION, MY TRANSMISSION HAS BLOWN AGAIN - SAME 'TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT' MESSAGE, SAME ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT, SAME UNDRIVABILITY. CLEARLY FROM SEEING THE COMMENTS ON THIS FORUM AS WELL AS OTHER REPUTABLE SITES SUCH AS EDMUNDS AND CONSUMER REPORTS, THE 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS A LONG, LONG HISTORY OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. I HAVE A PHONE CALL SCHEDULED WITH A CASE WORKER SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW, 7/13/2012. THEY'LL EITHER MAKE IT RIGHT OR I'LL BE TAKING MY STORY TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE WHO'S HAD ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL TO DO THE SAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR A SHORT TIME. THE WARNING LIGHT SHUT OFF BEFORE THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER (DID NOT STALL) WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I40 IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE (NO ACCESS TO MEDIAN BECAUSE OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION BARRIERS). ENGINE POWER DID NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OVER 35 MPH. DASH BOARD INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING RED (ETC INDICATOR: ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL). SEVERAL TRACTOR TRAILERS HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. ENGINE IS 3.0L MERCEDES DIESEL. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A FAILED SWIRL MOTOR DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL BLOW BY FROM A DEFECTIVE INTAKE TUBE WITH AN ORANGE GASKET. THIS MERCEDES DIESEL ENGINE WAS USED IN JEEP GR CHEROKEE IN 2007 & 2008. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN NHTSA ITEM #1006202 REGARDING MERCEDES VEHICLES BUT NEVER TO JEEP. THIS SITUATION OF LOSS OF POWER WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING COULD OF BEEN TRAGIC. THIS JEEP 2007 & 2008 PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. WHY IS NHTSA NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT??? *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WILL BE GOING 70 MPH OR 15 TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THEN IT STALLS OUT AND WON'T ACCELERATE. I WILL PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT WILL CORRECT ITSELF MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE CONDUCTED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND REPLACED SOME ELECTRICAL WIRING AND IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. NOW JUST LAST FRIDAY (20 APRIL 2012), I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED BECAUSE THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 2.5 RPMS AND 10 MPH. LUCKILY THE CAR HEADING STRAIGHT FOR ME SLOWED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR ON COMING 55 MPH TRAFFIC. I LOOKED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND AN UNGODLY AMOUNT OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER YESTERDAY (23 APRIL 2012) AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE. I WAS GETTING CODES U0404 AND U0103. IT COST $1051.50 TO FIX. I CHECKED ON-LINE AFTER, AND THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAID THAT THE JEEP MECHANICS WOULD RECOMMEND EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD JUST BREAK AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER. ONE MAN EVEN NOTED THAT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED OVER 1,000 OF THOSE IN HIS SHOP ALONE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! JEEP OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THIS IS GOING ON. *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 5.7 L HEMI. IT DROVE JUST FINE FOR THE 1ST FEW WEEKS OF OWNING IT. RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED STALLING WHEN AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS, WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE IN REVERSE. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP A FEW TIMES ALREADY. IT HAS BEEN THROWING OFF CODES OF P0884 AND P0688. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED US THAT THOSE CODES STAND FOR POWER UP AT SPEED (P0884) AND ASD RELAY (P0668). WE HAVE JUST CHANGED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND ARE NOW IN THE MIDST OF CHANGING OUT THE COILS EVERYTIME THE JEEP STALLS, WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR JUST A FEW DAYS AND ARE NOW ON #5 OF 8 AND IT IS NOT WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RUN OUT OF IDEAS AS TO HOW TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE READ REVIEWS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES WITH NO RESOLVE. WE HAVE ALSO READ SOME REVIEWS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND STATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I AS A CONSUMER FIND THIS WRONG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL COULD SAVE LIVES ON THE ROAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED/RESOLVED. I HAVE NOW WRITTEN DOWN THE NUMBERS AND ADDRESS TO CONTACT CHRYSLER/JEEP AND WILL BE CONTACTING THEM IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, IN THE MEAN TIME THIS IS WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO. THANK YOU *TR

WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY AND ACCELERATED UP TO 60MPH WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO SECOND GEAR AND REFUSED TO SHIFT. I COULDN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN "LIMP" VERY ROUGHLY TO THE SHOULDER. IF PEOPLE HADN'T SLOWED DOWN I WOULD HAVE BEEN BUSTED FROM SEVERAL POINTS. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAPPENS WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ALL THE TIME AND THAT THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE ESM BUT STATED THAT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY'VE REPLACED THOUSANDS ONLY TO HAVE IT RECUR MONTHS LATER. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. *TR

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC, I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. I WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY AS TRAFFIC WAS COMING QUICKLY FROM BEHIND. THE JEEP STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED ALL OF THE DRIVE LETTERS WITH BOXES AROUND THEM. THE JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR OVER 20 SECONDS, CAUSING ME TO RAPIDLY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE DEALER FOUND A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE AND REPLACED IT. THE VEHICLE HAS WORKED WELL UNTIL 2/15/12. AT 70,000 MILES, THE DEALER INSTALLED MODULE HAS FAILED AGAIN. ONCE MORE THIS HAPPENED WHEN ENTERING A HEAVY TRAFFIC ROADWAY. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. IN MY CASE, BOTH FAILURES RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A COLLISION. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS SEEMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE TREMENDOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IT . *TR

MY JEEP WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOT SOON AFTER STARTING SO THE ENGINE IS NOT COOL. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE TWICE WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS NOT HESITATION OR SPUTTERING, YOU JUST FEEL YOU ARE DECELERATING AND THEN YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION OR POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND EXTREMELY WORRIED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. OTHER TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED ON SECONDARY ROADS AND I HAVE HAD TO PARK IT AND THEN RESTART IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STARTS AND I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE BUT CHECKED ALL SENSORS, TRANSMISSION, CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, PCM, AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEKEND EXCEPT IT LURCHED FIRST THEN SHUT OFF. I GOT ONLINE AND SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I FELT I NEEDED TO REPORT IT IN THE EVENT THIS TRULY IS A MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN THE VEHICLE DIES GOING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE THE VEHICLE DIES IT IS EASILY RESTARTED ONCE STOPPED AND THEN DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO SYMPTOMS OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED BUT RATHER HAPPENS RANDOMLY. MY MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND A SOLUTION AS THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO PROBLEMS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT FOR NO REASON WILL END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SOONER OR LATER. *TR

MY VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN PARK, SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHILE GOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS BEEN AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW. THEY INITIALLY CHANGED NUMEROUS CONTROL MODULES THEY TOLD ME ARE THE "COMPUTERS" OR "BRAINS" OF THE CAR AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN ENGINEER FROM CHRYSLER COME IN TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE HAS NO CLUE WHY THIS MIGHT BE GOING ON. HELP PLEASE!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE FROM 30-40 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE OIL VALVE, AIR FILTER AND CLEANED SEVERAL AREAS WITHIN THE ENGINE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A COMPLAINT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ON OCT.5TH AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE THRUWAY AT 55MPH THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER JUST BARELY AVOIDING BEING REAR ENDED. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. YOU COULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S WOULD GO SKY HIGH BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE WHILE IN DRIVE. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF,WAITED SEVERAL SECONDS,STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT MOVED IN DRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVE A OCT.7TH SERVICE CALL.THIS WAS A NEAR DEATH SITUATION THE SECOND TIME DUE TO THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING WHEN STARTED IN THE MORNING. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE MATTER THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND MAKE. IT APPEARS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULES NEED REPLACING.AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

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

STALLING ISSUES WITH 5.7 HEMI JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM BUT AT LOW SPEEDS AND COMING TO A STOP. HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 TIMES PER MONTH (ABOUT ONCE A WEEK). VEHICLE LOSES COMPLETE POWER, BRAKES, STEERING, ETC. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT STORES P0884 CODE. DEALER CAN NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM BUT NOTICES CODE. DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX OR DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON RAILROAD TRACKS, 5PM TRAFFIC, AND WORSE POSSIBLE TIMES AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO STALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE. THE CONTACT STATED THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,601.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT DECELERATION.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION ANDD A LOUD, RATTLING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETECTED A FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE POWER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOW DURING ACCELERATION. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUSTED MANIFOLD WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP IN ONE OF THE VALVES. THE REPAIR PERFORMED FOR THE SECOND DIAGNOSIS ALSO FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,449.

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 3.0 CRD DIESEL ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS AND THEN ABRUPTLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON AN INCLINE (WITH A TRAILER IN TOW) AT THE TIME AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL BEING TOWED. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS IN THE JEEP AND TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND TODAY (8/15/2011) I WAS TOLD THIS IS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I DO KNOW OF OTHER 3.0 CRD JEEPS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.0 CRD DIESEL ENGINE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILURE. IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT ANY SPEED. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (5.7 HEMI) WITH 50,000 MILES FREQUENTLY STALLS BOTH IN MOTION AND WHILE STOPPED. STALLING CAUSES ALL ELECTRONICS TO SHUTOFF, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. NUMEROUS TIMES, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NEARLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS RANDOM STALLING IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT ENDANGERS BOTH ME, MY PASSENGERS, AND PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE WEB REFERRING TO THE SAME STALLING ISSUE WITH THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (WK) AND THE JEEP COMMANDERS (XK). DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE ANYONE TAKES ACTION? *KB

I AM DRIVING A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE 3.0 L DIESEL ENGINE. COMPLAINT: WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT LANE MY JEEP STALLED AND AS I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE LANES I ALMOST GOT HIT.

WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH CRD (COMMON RAIL DIESEL) ENGINE WITH ABOUT 4,000 MILES ON ODOMETER UNDER LIGHT LOAD IN LIGHT TRAFFIC WITH ABOUT 3/4 TANK OF FUEL ON A HILLY RURAL HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH THE MIL ("CHECK ENGINE LIGHT") TURNED ON AND WITHIN A SECOND OR SO, IF NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE RED ERROR LIGHT INDICATING MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM ILLUMINATED AND BEGAN FLASHING. DRIVER IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO 30 TO 35 MPH, ACTIVATED EMERGENCY FLASHERS, AND CHANGED ROUTE TO RETURN VEHICLE HOME, AT THAT POINT ABOUT A 15 MILE TRIP ON A COMBINATION OF HILLY RURAL HIGHWAYS AND SUBURBAN ARTERIAL ROADS. ABOUT 10 MILES LATER WHILE CLIMBING A HILL IN A BLIND CURVE ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER IN MODERATE TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 35 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED BRINGING VEHICLE TO HALT. IN THE SHOULDERLESS BLIND CURVE THERE WAS NEITHER VISIBILITY NOR ROOM FOR FOLLOWING TRAFFIC TO PASS, THUS CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE BUT IT THEN SEEMED TO OPERATE IN "LIMP HOME MODE" AND DID NOT SEEM ABLE TO MOVE FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. VEHICLE THEN STALLED REPEATEDLY IN THE LAST 5 OR SO MILES BACK TO HOME ON HILLY RURAL HIGHWAY IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, AND RESTARTING ATTEMPTS BECAME PROGRESSIVELY MORE DIFFICULT. BY THE TIME VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO OWNER'S PROPERTY THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START EXCEPT TO RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, AND VEHICLE HAVING BECOME COMPLETELY UNDRIVEABLE THEN HAD TO BE PUSHED TO A SAFE PLACE TO AWAIT TOW TO SELLING DEALER FOR SERVICE. DRIVER CONTACTED SELLING DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO REPORT PROBLEM, AND SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND TOW TO SELLING DEALER ARE PENDING. *TR

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE BRAND NEW 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DIESEL, I UNLOCKED THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB, OPENED A COUPLE OF THE DOORS AND LOADED MY LUGGAGE, THEN I DID THE KEY SEQUENCE ON THE KEYFOB (LOCK+PANIC) TO TURN OFF THE BEEP WHEN YOU LOCK THE CAR. AFTER ALL THIS I TRIED TO START IT (CORRECT STARTING PROCEDURE - WAIT FOR GLOW LIGHT TO GO OUT) AND THE STARTER CRANKED THE ENGINE WITH NO FIRING AT ALL. I REPEAT AND WAIT 5 TIMES OVER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, IT FAILED TO START EACH TIME. FINALLY AFTER I HAVE WAITED ABOUT 2 MORE MINUTES, I TRIED AGAIN AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I AM CONCERNED THE CAR COULD FAIL TO START AGAIN. UPDATED 01-16-08. *KB

I OWN A NEW 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT I HAD FOR TWO WEEKS WITH APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER PURCHASE I CALLED THE DEALER TO TELL THEM THAT THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY SAID NO TO BRING VEHICLE TO DEALER AS IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO A LOOSE GAS CAP, AND WOULD GO AWAY IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. HOWEVER, THIS WEEK WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE JEEP STALLED. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY FROM 3/4 FULL, AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION ON THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE FAR SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE KEY OUT AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE FULL GUAGE WENT BACK UP TO 3/4 FULL AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM....THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS FINE. THE RESET THE COMPUTER SO THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE NEXT DAY AFTER BRINGING IT HOME FROM THE DEALER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I AM BRINGING IT BACK IN NEXT WEEK. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY AS I FULLY EXPECT THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I SAW AN ARTICLE THAT YOU WERE CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM, AND WANTED TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST AS THIS STALLING PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT CRASH AFTER LOSING POWER AT 70 MPH ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.*AK
