2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE DURING ACCELERATION. WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE CAR WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE IN SPEED ALMOST AS IF IT WAS RUNNING IN LOW GEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW. TODAY AT 60,000 MI IT HAPPENED TWICE. A FEW MONTHS AGO I TRIED TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY AND LOST POWER WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAD TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHT AND QUICKLY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I NOTICED ALL OF THE LIGHTS [ P, R, N, D] ON THE DASH BOARD WERE ON. THE CAR SEEMS TO RESET WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK OR TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I TOOK THE CAR TO 2 AUTHORIZED JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, ANOTHER ONE FOUND A CODE U0404 BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. I FIND THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TT

THE VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DIES OUT WHILE MOVING CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP ABRUPTLY AND ALSO DIES AT STOPS. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND DESPITE NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS REPLACING THE FOLLOWING THROTTLE BODY GASKET CAM SENSOR CRANK SENSOR TRANS FLUID AND FILTER EGR VALVE THE CONDITION REMAINS, IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (BODY DESIGNATION WK) HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL

UPON ACCELERATION FROM STOP VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND LOSE POWER. THIS CONSTITUTES A HAZARD TO VEHICLE AND ANY APPROACHING VEHICLES DURING A TURN. INSPECTION INDICATES THAT TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS AT FAULT ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILURE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS ( POWER AND CHECK ENGINE ) ARE INTERMITTENT, INDICATING THAT THE MODULE IS FAULTY. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ECM ON THESE VEHICLES. THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE VARYING SYMPTOMS BUT ALL GO BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION ECM. THESE UNIT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT MANUFACTURERS COST. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN MANY DIFFERENT MODELS AND YEARS OF VEHICLES, BUT ALWAYS GO BACK TO THIS ECM UNIT. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM I DON'T FEEL THAT THE CONSUMER IS AT FAULT OR CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. CHRYSLER MODULES ARE AND HAVE BEEN FAULTY IN THE PAST. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SAYS THAT OTHER MODULES IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS TOO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION ECM'S AND HAVE THEM RECALLED. *TR

MY VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN PARK, SOMETIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHILE GOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS BEEN AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW. THEY INITIALLY CHANGED NUMEROUS CONTROL MODULES THEY TOLD ME ARE THE "COMPUTERS" OR "BRAINS" OF THE CAR AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD AN ENGINEER FROM CHRYSLER COME IN TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE HAS NO CLUE WHY THIS MIGHT BE GOING ON. HELP PLEASE!! *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT 12/16/11 WITH MY FIANCEE WE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE JEEP STARTED BACK UP FINE ALL EXCEPT IT COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. SO I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WENT AROUND US, THEN IT WORKED ITSELF OUT, BUT DID IT AGAIN WHEN I CAME TO ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT. BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO USE MY MANUAL SHIFT TO HELP IT. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP 2 DAYS AGO. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED SINCE I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I AM ALSO A FIREFIGHTER AND I DEPEND ON THIS JEEP TO GET ME TO FIRE SCENES AND OTHER EMERGENCY SCENES, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN EMERGENCY SCENE INVOLVING ME DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS JEEP IS HAVING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO A RECALL AND HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. *TR
