2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE SUNROOF. THE WATER ENTERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DAMPENED THE FRONT FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERMENT PANEL COMPONENTS (RADIO), AS WELL AS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS TO NOT WORK PROPERLY FOR DAYS AT A TIME. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THIS FAILURE APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWELVE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER FINALLY CONCLUDED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DESIGNED TO WORK IN THAT MANNER. THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAS A VIDEO AND PICTURES AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BOUGHT GRAND CHEROKEE BRAND NEW, STARTED LEAKING FROM TWO AREAS IMMEDIATELY. FIRST SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THERE WERE NO LEAKS, AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FIXED ONE LEAK, STILL REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE SECOND LEAK. *TR

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. I LOST POWER AND IT WAS HARD TO STEER THE CAR AND ENDED UP HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR WITH SOME HELP TO THE CURBSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I KNOW THE JEEP HAS A MERCEDES BENZ ENGINE JUST LIKE OTHER MERCEDES THAT NOW I HAVE ALSO HEARD 2007 MERCEDES BENZES WITH THE SAME EXACT DIESEL ENGINE HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE NOTE THAT JEEP, WITH THE SAME ENGINE IS HAVING SAME ENGINE PROBLEM AND PLEASE RECALL SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT IN DANGER. IT WAS A VERY SCARY DAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR LOST MY LIFE OR MY CHILDS LIFE OR ANOTHER FAMILY. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT FEELING GOOD ABOUT THIS ENGINE ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 05/19/08 *BF THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. UPDATED 05/19/08

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES ON HIGHWAY, THEN TURNING ONTO LOCAL STREETS, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD LIT UP, MESSAGE BOARD FLASHED "TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP" WARNING, THEN "CHECK GAUGES" WARNING. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE, NO GAUGES WORKED, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER. ONCE SHUT OFF, VEHICLE TOOK A WHILE BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECENT RECALL OF THIS ENGINE BY MERCEDES BENZ (3L CRD ENGINE). CHRYSLER WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDENSER, LOCATED BELOW THE CENTER OF THE BUMPER, HAS A VERY LARGE OPENING. THE LARGE OPENING ALLOWED A ROCK OR SOME OTHER FOREIGN LARGE PARTICLE TO PUNCTURE THE AIR CONDENSER. AS A RESULT, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES OF THE FAILED COMPONENT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,000.

THE VEHICLE TENDS TO LAG OR STALL DURING NORMAL DRIVING TIMES. IF YOU ACCELERATE THEN LET OFF THE GAS, THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND. IT IS LIKE THERE IS A DEAD PEDAL. IT TAKES ROUGHLY A SECOND FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND, WHICH ISN'T THAT LONG UNTIL YOU CONSIDER AT NORMAL IN-TOWN SPEEDS, YOU CAN GO ALMOST 100 FEET IN A SECOND. JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GET PLOWED IN TO! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED HIS VEHICLE AND LEARNED THAT THERE WERE TWO BRAKE RECALLS RELATED TO HIS VIN. HE WAS UPSET BECAUSE HE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALLS BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE RECALL NUMBERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE 2007 WK CRD THAT HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR VEHICLE HAS DIED ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. READING ABOUT THIS ON JEEP FORUM, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A TSB RELATED TO A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON WK JEEPS THAT WERE BUILT BEFORE JUNE 12TH, 2007. MY JEEP WAS BUILT IN APRIL, 2007. WHILE MY JEEP HAS NOT STALLED, IT IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE AND SHE IS FREQUENTLY TRANSPORTING OUR TWO CHILDREN. THE TSB CALLS FOR CHECKING AND REPLACING THE SENSOR IF IT FAILS, BUT I DO NOT FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO JUST DIE WHILE THEY WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY WIFE AND KIDS. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *TR
