2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! IT'S THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IN THE LAST 6 YEARS, AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. (IN FREEZING TEMPERATURE). LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS AROUND WHEN THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED, BUT IF IT HAD HAPPENED IN A CROWDED AREA, AN ACCIDENT IS IMMINENT. EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOM AS WHAT WAS REPORTED UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10555411 (THIS IS A COMPLAINT FILED ON 12/10/2013). IN ONE OTHER INSTANCE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 45 MPH, IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE SHIFTED IN THE FIRST GEAR SUDDENLY. WHEN SHE LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AREA, ALL OF THE "PRNDL" SIGNS WERE SELECTED. (OF COURSE SHE DID NOT TOUCH THE SHIFTER IN ANY WAY...) SHE SUBSEQUENTLY RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I'M SURPRISED NO RECALL IS ISSUED FOR THIS. FINALLY, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY HAD NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAD THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY RECALL UPDATE DONE, NOW I AM GETTING A "SERVICE 4WD" LIGHT. IN DOING RESEARCH THIS IS VERY COMMON ON JEEP'S WHO HAD THE RECENT WARRANTY UPDATE. JEEP NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IN SOME CASES DEALERS ARE REPLACING ACTUATORS UNDER WARRANTY AND IN SOME NOT. MY DEALER, ED TOMKO JEEP IN AVON LAKE, OHIO, WOULD LIKE TO CHARGE ME TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO PAY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

JEEP WOULD NOT START "TRANSMISSION TEMP" WOULD COME UP ON DASH. TOOK TO DEALER REPLACED STARTER. WEEK LATER SAME PROBLEM. WENT BACK TO JEEP DEALER THEY DEEMED IT TO BE ENGINE HARNESS.ONE YEAR LATER ON ANY GIVEN DAY "TRANSMISSION TEMP" WILL COME UP ON DASH WITH THE JEEP SPUTTERING TO START. TURN OFF THEN START. SO FAR THREE TIME SINCE REPAIRS IT HAS DONE THIS. *TR

THE TRUCK IS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ONCE AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN (JERKED REAL HARD) AND I LOST ALL DRIVING CAPABILITY ETC POWER STEERING, SPEED CONTROL. . . . . I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY JEEP SHUT DOWN IT WAS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHEN EVERYONE AROUND YOU IS GOING 60 MPH AND YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER I PLACED THE JEEP IN PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY AND PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERYDAY NOW AND WHY SEARCHING THE INTERNET I'VE RAN ACROSS ON HERE AND ELSEWHERE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH MY YEAR AND MAKE. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND IM SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET OR A TERRIBLE POSSIBLE FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING NON RESPONSIVE IN FAST HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I'VE NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS REAL COLD OUTSIDE. *TR
