2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I HAVE A 2007 GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, I WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE JEEP JUST DIED. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. ANYTIME SINCE THEN, MAINLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING. TRIED REPLACING ECM, SENSORS, ETC. NOTHING HAS WORKED YET. JEEP DEALER TOLD US IT COULD BE THE WIRING HARNESS...WHICH WE CANT FIND ANYWHERE.

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.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN STARTING IT IS IN CONTINUOUS TURN OVER AND NOT STARTING

DOOR HANDLES BREAKING ON ALL INTERIOR DOORS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK WHEN YOUR CHILD CAN NOT GET OUT!!! IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND HAS CONTINUED TO BREAK ON THE OTHERS.

ENGINE STALLS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S AS IF I JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN IT STALLS, I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF. IT'S BECOMING A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN.

CAR WOULDN'T START TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP ERROR. DRIVE TO WORK 20 MIN PARKED CAR FLAT SURFACE CAME OUT TO LEAVE AFTER 8 HOUR SHIFT THAT ERROR MESSAGE AND WON'T START. 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED NO WARNING WAS TOLD COMMON ISSUE PIGTAIL TO STARTER BECAUSE OF PLACEMENT IT GETS WET OR MOISTURE. WHICH MAKES THIS CAR QUESTIONABLE TO DRIVE.

ON SEPTEMBER 9 I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM MY GRAND DAUGHTER SCHOOL AND AS I WAS PULLING ON MY STREET, THE JEEP SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY TYPE OF WARNINGS. I HAD TO COAST INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT DOESN'T START AT ALL. IT HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND FLUIDS IN JEEP. IT DID IT WITHOUT WARNING
