2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE CAN DIRECT ENGINE POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS ONLY, ALL FOUR WHEELS, OR IN ITS NEUTRAL POSITION, NON AT ALL. THESE VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED BECAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE CAN SHIFT INTO ITS NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, ENGINE POWER WOULD NOT REACH ANY OF THE DRIVE WHEELS AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER WHICH GOVERNS THE TRANSFER CASE TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN.

JEEP IS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT WILL RANDOMLY GO INTO LIMP MODE AT START, BUT TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING IT FIXES THAT ISSUE. IT'S DONE THIS THREE TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS WE HAVE HAD IT. I AM NOW HAVING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE SOMETHING IS CAUSING A DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND NOW THE BATTERY.IT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO SWELL, AND THE JEEP IS HAVING TO BE JUMPED TO START MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. THE BATTERY WAS PUT ON A DEEP CHARGE, AND IT HAD TO BE JUMPED THE NEXT DAY. ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING BACK LIGHTING GOES OFF AND ON WHEN YOU TURN THE KNOBS OR ADJUST THE FAN SPEED WHILE BOTH DRIVING AND STATIONARY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ROUGHLY A MONTH.

THE JEEP HAS ELECTRICAL STUFF HAPPENING SPORADICALLY AND DOES NOT START BUT WITH POWER BUT AFTER 3 TO 6 ATTEMPTS STARTS RIGHT UP. I TURN KEY ALL POWER AND BELLS GO OFF AND IT MAKES A HUMMING NOISE AND 1 CLICK NOISE DASH SAYS ' TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' THE JEEP IS COLD SO NOT OVER TEMPERATURE. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF POST ABOUT RECALL AND ALSO ABOUT IGNITION SWITCH OR MODULE. I'VE ONLY OWNED FOR 2 YEARS AND DEALER SAID CAR HAD NO RECALLS WHEN I PURCHASED. THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY AND ALSO AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO DESTINATION AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STARTING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR LAST 3 DAYS BUT FEW MESSAGES RANDOMLY POPPED IN INFORMATION CENTER FEW TIMES BEFORE THIS HAD AT DEALER ON COMPUTER NO CODES SAID IT WAS OKAY

I HAD GOTTEN UP TO TAKE A RIDE TO THE STORE AND THE DAY BEFORE I DIDN'T SEE ANY SMOKE. BUT BEFORE I MADE IT TO MY STOP SIGN THERE WAS SMOKE ROLLING AT MY DRIVER DOOR SO I RUSHED BACK TO THE HOUSE AND COULDN'T EVEN OPEN MY DOOR. BY THIS TIME FLAMES WHERE COMING OUT THE DRIVER DOOR AND I TRIED PUTTING IT OUT AFTER I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH A BUCKET OF WATER BECAUSE THE WATER HOSE WOULDN'T REACH AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULDN'T BE IN A RUSH. SO MY WHOLE [XXX] CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE A WEEK AGO FROM A ELECTRIC PROBLEM. NOW I'M SCREWED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *JS *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND START DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL FORCING ME TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT TWICE A MONTH.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED ON JULY 3 2020 AT SETH LEE AUTO SALES IN TAVARES FL. . PAID $1500 CASH DOWN PAYMENT AND INCURRED A LOAN AS WELL. TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. DROVE AWAY AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES THE VEHICLE STALLED AT A LIGHT. COULD NOT RESTART FOR 15 MINUTES. VEHICLE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY DOING THIS EVERY TIME I DROVE AND PARTICULARLY WHILE IDLING OR GOING SLOWER SPEEDS. TOOK TO JEEP DEALER YESTERDAY JULY 13 2020. SERVICE TECHNICIAN JUST CALLED ADVISING THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH TOTAL BEING $1096.41. THE PART IS CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER.

THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER MONTHS TEND TO MAKE THE CAR ENGINE SPUTTER AS YOU HEAD DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY ONLY THIS TIME AS WE PREPARED TO MAKE OUR TURN THE VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUT OFF, ALLOWING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WE WERE FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS BEHIND US OR PULLING OUT WHERE WE WERE TURNING . WE WOULD HAVE EITHER BEEN REAR ENDED OR WOULD HAVE RUN INTO ANY CAR WAITING TO TURN.

BEEN HAVING STARTING ISSUES FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. IT STARTS SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES HAVE TO WAIT A FEW HOURS TO A FEW DAYS. THE LAST 2 DAYS WON'T START AT ALL AND HAS DRAINED MY LESS THEN A YEAR OLD BATTERY. 3 WEEKS AGO WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN OR UP WHENEVER THEY WANT. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT RANDOM. I BELIEVED MY CAR IS POSSESSED. READING MORE AND MORE I REALIZED MY TIPM IS BAD. I HAVE LEARNED WITH ALL THE RANDOM THINGS WITH THIS JEEP THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND TOO MANY ISSUES, WITH NO RESOLUTION OTHER THEN I HAVE TO EMPTY EVERY POCKET TO FIX IT. IT STALLS WHEN DRIVING IT SHIFTS INTO ALL GEARS SLOWS ME DOWN WHEN I'M ON HIGHWAY AT A VERY UNSAFE SPEED. IT IS UNRELIABLE AND I PUT MY LIFE MY KIDS AND OTHERS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING. SADLY, I BELIEVE JEEP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAFETY SINCE THERE IS 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS WITH SAME ISSUES. IT ALSO SAYS MY AIR BAGS WON'T WORK BECAUSE THE TIPM IS BAD. *TR
