2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME ONE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD WITH IT LOSING ACCELERATION OR NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. MY MECHANIC CHECKED FOR A CODE AND FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE SHIFTING ASSEMBLY. HE HAD TO TAKE OUT THE CENTER CONSOLE AND REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. HE SAID THAT A MODULE WAS FAULTY IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND WAS PUTTING THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THIS INFORMATION SO OTHERS WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

MY JEEP WILL PERIODICALLY NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25-40 MPH. THE RPMS ONLY MOVE SLIGHTLY DURING AN OCCURRENCE EVEN IF YOU HAVE IT FLOORED AND THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE ONLY WHY TO TEMPORARILY FIX IT IS TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN. I HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE LAST WEEK WHEN IT HAPPENED. IN THE LAST YEAR ITS PROBABLY HAPPENED ABOUT FIFTY TIMES. AFTER LOOKING ON THIS SITE IT IS APPARENT THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM! JEEP NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL ON THIS VERY SOON. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE DEALER. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR. WHEN MAKING THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THEY AGREED TO LOOK AT IT. ONCE I DROVE OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE CASE SINCE THERE IS NO FIX YET AVAILABLE. I'M NOT HAPPY THAT THEY EVEN WOULD LOOK. SO I FEEL THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT IN A REASONABLE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THEIR IS NO FIX YET, BUT TO NOT EVEN LOOK BROTHERS ME. I'M A MOTHER OF THREE WITH ONE MORE ON THE WAY AND I WISH MY DEALER WOULD OF EVEN LISTEN AND LOOKED. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL SUDDENLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE SHIFT INDICATORS ARE HIGHLIGHTED. I HAVE TO THEN PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN TRY AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOP 5 TIMES TO GET THIS FIXED. (OVER THE COURSE OF THIS PAST YEAR). I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL WITH LETTERS GOING OUT LAST MONTH. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THESE? I WAS TOLD JUNE,, BUT NOW IT IS THE MIDDLE OF JULY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON RT 66 W IN PW COUNTY VA DURING RUSH HOUR TRAVELING AT 70+ MPH THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED, THE RED LIGHT INDICATING ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED SPEED TO 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT RESPOND THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE BEING PUSHED TO FLOOR. CARS BEHIND ME DROVE OFF IN THE MEDIAN TRYING TO AVOID ME NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR CHAIN REACTION. SO FAR I HAVE SPENT $4000+ IN REPAIRS AND CAUSE CANNOT BE FOUND. THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE VARIOUS INTERNET BLOGS. IT APPEARS THAT THE MERCEDESBENZ AND CHRYSLER 300 CRD HAVING THIS SAME ENGINE HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO SAME SYMPTOMS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY AND THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT PROPERLY INVESTIGATED. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER SWITCH GEARS FROM FIRST TO SECOND. I WAS ON FREEWAY IN CONSTRUCTION AREA THAT WAS DOWN TO ONE LANE AND COULD NOT PULL OVER FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MILES. NOT HAPPY AT ALL SINCE THE VEHICLE (2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILES FOR A POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, BUT RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL AND A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE ONE AT THAT. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR
