2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

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.

I HAVE WAITED OVER 2 YEARS FOR A RECALL ON MY IGNITION SWITCH. P41/NT HTSA 14V-438. I WANT T O KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT THIS CORRECTED? I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS EVERY 3 MONTHS TO HEAR " WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS".

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF FOR NO REASON. IT THEN REPEATEDLY TRIED TO RESTART ITSELF, EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE "OFF" POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS POWER STEERING IS LOST CAUSING HARD STEERING. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL CLAIMING THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAING NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER PLACED THE CONTACT ON A WAITING LIST. THE CONTACT WAS NUMBER ONE HUNDRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE GEAR SHIFT MODULE IS BADLY DESIGNED IT USES A BRUSH THAT DRAGS ALONG CONTACTS TO TELL TRANNY WHAT GEAR IS SELECTED. OVER TIME THOUGH SOME OF THE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL STARTS TO RUB OFF AND MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN 2 OR MORE OF THE CONTACTS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ECU AND TRANNY CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR IT'S IN AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE 20 MPH MAX A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I'M LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REARENDED BY A VERY PISSED OFF SEMI RUCK DRIVER RECENTLY. I'M SURE SOME ONE HAS BEEN INJURED AND POSSIBLY KILLED BY THIS BADLY DESIGNED AND DANGEROUS MODULE.. CHRYSLER AND BENZ WERE PARTNERS IN 2007 AND BENZ USES A TOUCHLESS ( MAGNETIC) SYSTEM MUCH SAFER. JEEP JUST KEEPS ON PUTTING IN SAME PART NO IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE THE TCB TELLS DEALER TO PUT IN A NEW PART. THE ONLY WARNING SIGN YOU MIGHT GET IS ALL OF THE CIRCLES AROUND THE PRND ON YOUR DASH WILL BE LIT SHOWING YOU THE MODULE HAS NO IDEA WHAT GEAR IT'S IN BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS OR BUZZERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE 2010 ALWAYS WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN VERY DANGEROUS!!

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.
