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.
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.
Owned the 07 Jeep for 5 months. Vehicle has been serviced for 2 different incidents. The 1st incindent(actually happened several times) is when the vehicle would not shift during acceleration and it would force me to the side of the road where I would have to turn the vehicle on and off until it would run correctly. Was told by dealership service that it was a transmission sensor,had the part replaced-not covered by warranty. Less then 3 weeks later, 2nd incident occured when I was driving 55mph down the interstate while acclerating to get over to an exit, the vehicle threw itself back into 2nd gear and I was forced to get over into the emergency lane so as not to be struck by oncoming traffic. The Jeep had almost come to a complete stop in traffic! check engine light came on and went off after that. Dealership states the gear ratio and valve cover forced the vehicle into 2nd gear. Very dangerous!.
I purchased my pre-owned 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo 4x4 less than a month ago. I have had 4 instances of it not cranking. I took it back to the dealership where they replaced two sensors and reprogrammed the computer. I got my car back on Friday. Today is Monday and it isn't cranking again. All electrical accessories work fine but the car will not crank. The battery, alternator, and starter tested fine. The suspension makes a god- awful squawking sound every time I drive anywhere.
Driving at various speeds, most often approaching a stop the vehicle will shut off leaving no power systems. This has occurred at higher speeds and has almost caused an accident in one case. Vehicle starts up immediately after occurrence. Called the dealership who is aware of this occurring with this model and year but states it probably will be unable to diagnose if the vehicle is not towed from point of occurrence. Dealer stated they could try to replicate the problem by driving it around??? I told him you might be driving for quite some time. I don't want my wife operate the car. As a retired state trooper I am experienced in operating vehicles under hazardous conditions but don't like the idea of having to drive this vehicle until and issue occurs. It is just a mater of time until there is a serious accident. Numerous people have reported this both by NHTSA complaint and different forums.
Whilst driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee (equipped with the Mercedes Benz common rail diesel (crd) 3. 0 l engine) on I-410 at highway speed, the engine suddenly stopped, without any warning. This also made the power brakes and power steering inoperative. Today, the dealer tells me that this is caused by a faulty crankshaft position indicator sensor and is a fairly common occurance. I should think this is a design flaw and should be corrected by the mfg.
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!!.
Engine shut down while driving at 65 mph. No prior problems - driving to a vacation destination on us 95, had been driving for @ 3 hours - took my foot off of the gas pedal and engine shut off, leaving me without any control over the vehicle- luckily, was able to steer to shoulder - was able to restart car within 5 minutes, however the engine shut down twice more during this trip under the same set of circumstances-just taking my foot off of the accelerator; again left without ability to control auto. Reached my destination point and brought car to nearest dealer - received a call the following day that the car was repaired and that the integrated auto computer program failed and the computer program needed to be updated and re-installed. Dealer noted that he had received notice of this issue occurring to other '07 Jeep Grand Cherokees, but Chrysler was not issuing a recall. It was mere luck that I avoided any accidents.
I own a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo, 6 cyl 4x4. The vehicle has been losing power at highway speeds on an almost daily basis, usually while negotiating left hand curves. When the vehicle loses power, the traction control light turns on and the vehicle decelerates rapidly. During the power loss, I can put the accelerator to the floor and the vehicle will not accelerate. I have almost been involved in several rear end crashes due to this issue, as it happens without warning. The vehicle has been to the dealership 5 times for related issues. On 03/18/08 the abs wiring harness was re-routed because it was rubbing on the left front tire. The shifter module has also been replaced twice, however, the aforementioned problem is ongoing. The last time the vehicle was at the dealership was 09/25/09 and I was told that there was no computer code for the problem and that the dealership could not fix or diagnose the problem because they could not recreate it. I am afraid that if I continue to drive this vehicle it is inevitable that I will be involved in a collision as a result of this mechanical failure. I cannot afford to replace the vehicle and the dealership where I purchased the vehicle has been useless in fixing the problem. I am at my wits end and I am getting nowhere with papa's Dodge.
I purchased a new 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 9/27/07 from tarbox Jeep in n. Kingstown, ri the day I took delivery the Jeep had several problems the front windows did not work properly, the tail gate was not lighting up properly and I was getting a vibration through out the Jeep when driving over 45 mph. I informed the sales man the next day of the defects in the Jeep I brought the Jeep in to be serviced and to have the repairs done on 11/6/07 the tail gate was fixed as best as they could but still defective the front power window's were also corrected how ever the vibration has not been resolved they replaced the drive shaft, they also removed the transmission and replaced the torque converter that still did not correct the problem. They know believe it needs a new downloag to the transmission control modular but that will not be ready for at least 2 weeks and they do not know if that will correct the problem and they are insisting I take back the Jeep on 11/16/07 I feel the Jeep might be a safety hazard to drive due to tarbox not know what the problem is I have called Chrysler and I am in need of help I drive about 600 miles each week and do not feel safe driving the Jeep in the correct condition. I have had a rental car for 10 days going on 11 days. I could use some help on this matter.
