2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (5.7 HEMI) WITH 50,000 MILES FREQUENTLY STALLS BOTH IN MOTION AND WHILE STOPPED. STALLING CAUSES ALL ELECTRONICS TO SHUTOFF, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. NUMEROUS TIMES, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NEARLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS RANDOM STALLING IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT ENDANGERS BOTH ME, MY PASSENGERS, AND PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON THE WEB REFERRING TO THE SAME STALLING ISSUE WITH THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (WK) AND THE JEEP COMMANDERS (XK). DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE ANYONE TAKES ACTION? *KB

ESM- ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE ISSUE: P, R, N, D, L ALL LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE CAR GETS CONFUSED AS TO WHICH GEAR IT SHOULD BE USING. OCCASIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES.

VEHICLE IS 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND CURRENTLY HAS 18300 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JAN. 2008. TWO FAILURE TO ACCELERATE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED. ONE ON 5/31/10 AND ANOTHER ON 04/21/11. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR AND THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 30 TO 35 MPH EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THE DEALER REPLACED THE BEZEL SHIFT SELECTOR. AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. MERGING ONTO A BUSY FREEWAY WHERE TRAFFIC SPEEDS ROUTINELY EXCEED 80MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 30-35 MPH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. THE SAME SAFETY CONCERNS APPLY IF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATES FROM 70 TO 30 MPH. *TR

THE DASH INDICATORS FOR THE GEAR SHIFT WILL ALL ILLUMINATE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK IN GEAR AFTER TAPING THE SHIFT LEVER SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE. THEY KEPT THE OLD PART THAT WAS REMOVED. *TR
