2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE TIRE JACK IS UNSTABLE FOR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MINE COLLAPSE AND NOT TALL ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE. I WATCHED A MAN ALMOST GET PINNED BY A JACK FAILURE ON A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. MINE IS A 2007. DOES ANYONE CHECK THIS EQUIPMENT. *TR

2007/ 30 000 MILES. SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSES LOSS OF ACCELERATION BY GOING NEUTRAL OR STICKING IN 1ST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. TYPICALLY, ALL THE LETTERS ARE LIFT PRND SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. STOPPING AND RESTARTING (ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAY DRIVING) SEEMS TO RESET THE SHIFTER. DEALER SAYS ESM PART NO 52124138AD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED AS A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

AFTER READING WHERE MULTIPLE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING FRONT TIRE FAILURE WITH FACTORY TIRES, I HAD MY TIRES CHECKED DURING AN ALIGNMENT. BOTH OF MY FRONT TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING A TREAD SEPARATION FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT, 0 MILES FROM A LOCAL DEALER. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR CORPORATE, WHO SENT ME TO A GOODYEAR DEALER LOCALLY, WHO INSPECTED MY TIRES, INFORMED ME THEY WERE DEFECTIVE, AND OFFERED ME A PRO-RATED REPLACE OF 50% OFF. I FEEL THAT IF A TIRE (OR ANY PRODUCT) HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SUCH AND NOT PRO-RATED. THE TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM DAY ONE, AND IS ONLY SHOWING SUCH AFTER SOME USE. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIRES THAT ARE NOT COMPLETELY USED NOR WORN TO TREADWEAR MARKERS FOR FEAR OF COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED AS HE STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED FLUIDS LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PLUGGED ADAPTER GUIDE BUSHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. AT 29,500 MILES, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONSOLE SHIFT WAS REPAIRED. AT 34,500 MILES, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. ALL FOUR TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE YET THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE SOFTWARE WOULD NEED AN UPDATE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,600. UPDATED 11/16/10*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IS STILL NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND STAYS IN FIRST GEAR TOO LONG. UPDATED 11/16/10*JB

CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER SOLENOID WIRE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOW DESIGN DEFECT, BUT SINCE I WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY (37K) I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST. IF THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T IT FIXED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL GOT STUCK. HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL HE SHIFTED IT INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND UPON RESTART OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 56,000.
