2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT WHEN EXIT AND ALSO FAILED TO SECURE THE BELT PROPERLY. SOMETIMES, IT STUCK AND HAD TO EFFORT TO RELEASE THE BELT PROPERLY. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. NOW, THE SEAT BELT RETURNED SAME PROBLEM AS ORIGINAL. I HAVE TO PAY 100 DOLLARS UNDER CONTRACT TO REPLACE IT. IT MAY LAST FOR A YEAR BEFORE HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN AND AGAIN. I WENT TO USED CAR LOT AND SAW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND FOUND OUT THE SEAT BELT WAS LOOSE AND UNABLE TO RETRACT PROPERLY. *TR

THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSES POWER AND ALL THE PRND12 LIGHT UP. SOME DAYS IT WON'T GO INTO DRIVE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPS INTO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IF YOU SLOW DOWN, YOU CAN'T SPEED UP AGAIN, LIKE YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. ONCE IN A WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN IT WILL GO OFF AGAIN, MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE NO NOTICE THAT ANYTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU JUST LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FILING COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY MORE THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN SLOWLY PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN. GAUGES STOPPED WORKING THEN SUDDENLY CAME BACK ON. VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE WITH SHIFTING AND CAR FELT VERY SLUGGISH. OCCURRED 3-4 TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM DESPITE MANY ONLINE REPORTS OF THE EXACT SAME INCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, IN THE DARK, MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. REALIZING WHAT AN EXTREME DANGER THE JEEP WAS TO ME AND ALL OTHERS ON THE ROAD I IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE JEEP. ITS HAPPENED ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AFTER AND EVERY INSTANCE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION NOR A DIAGNOSIS. *TR

WHEN MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS IN DRIVE, THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND IT'S AS IF THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, REVERSE, ETC. THE DEALER SAYS I NEED A ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE TO THE TUNE OF $600+. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, I SEE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. I AM LOOKING INTO GETTING JEEP TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PART. *TR

AUTO TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT NOT SHIFTING INTO GEARS CORRECTLY; LOSS POWER AROUND CURVES; SOMETIMES ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON; SOMETIMES ALL GEAR INDICATORS COME ON DASH; FEELS AS THOUGH CAN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ENTERING ONTO HIGHWAY OR PASSING. NOTHING DONE YET. CALLED DEALER, ONLINE SEARCHES. VERY VERY MANY SAME-SIMILAR ONLINE & VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR $700+. APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE PART & SHOULD BE RECALL/DEALER REPLACE/REPAIR!! *TR

1. MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (5.7 HEMI; 64K MILES) WAS DUE FOR A TUNE UP. I PURCHASED REPLACEMENT SPARK PLUGS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS RETAILER AND CHANGED THEM. 2. SUBSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING (APPROX 5 TIMES IN 25 MILES TRAVELED). THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AT STOPLIGHTS AND WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. 3. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AS ENGINE LIGHT HAD ALSO BEEN ON DURING ENTIRE TIME. DEALER WORKED ON TRYING TO FIND PROBLEM FOR 3 WEEKS. AFTER CONSULTING A CHRYSLER ENGINEER THEY FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT THE AFTERMARKET PLATINUM TIP SPARK PLUGS WERE CAUSING INTERFERENCE WITH THE VEHICLE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. DEALER REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. I WENT BACK TO MY PARTS SUPPLIER AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I ALSO NOTIFIED CHRYSLER OF MY COMPLAINT THAT CONSUMERS AND PARTS SUPPLY RETAILERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PARTS INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE THAT THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF BECAUSE IT IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE GEAR SHIFTER MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

CAR WILL DECELERATE, AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO DEPRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, BEGAN TO DESCRIBE ISSUE, WITHOUT DESCRIBING THE MAKE AND MODEL, AND THE REPAIR-SHOP WAS ABLE TO THEN TELL ME THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ME PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSING. (ALREADY HAD GEAR SHIFT MODULE REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AND SINCE THE ISSUE OCCURRED 14 MONTHS LATER, DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO COVER EXPENSE OF REPLACEMENT.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND AS STATED BEFORE, OCCURS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AND THERE ARE NO PRECEDING WARNINGS OR OTHER INDICATORS THAT FORESHADOW THE OCCURRENCE. CAR IS NOW AT 42,000 MILES, YET IT IS IN NEED OF A 3RD SHIFT MODULE, SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO DECLARE A RECALL OR WHEN THE CUSTOMER HAS THE PROBLEM, THEY FIX IT WITHOUT FURTHER EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW, AND ITS MY 4TH ONE, HOWEVER, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE QUALITY OF VEHICLE THEY ARE PRODUCING, AND WILL NOT EVER PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN. *TR
