My intial issue with my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee was the vehicle would lose power when shifting into the next gear either when going up a gear or when you were slowing down. It would make a loud cracking sound when this happened. I already had a sensor replaced to try and correct that issue but it didn't work. Then in addition, to that the Jeep started stalling out on me. I periodically have the traction control light, esp bas light and engine light on. I have called Chrysler about my concerns with having to drive an unsafe vehicle which I believe is related to their p41 recall with no satisfication. I have codes b2185 and u0401 in the computer of my Jeep which came from my local mechanic. Chrysler is no help. The ironic thing is I have 2 - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokees. The second one isn't much better. That one periodically has issues also with losing power. When is Chrysler going to be forced to take responsibilty for this recall? they are forcing people to drive unsafe vehicles and put themselves and their families lives at risk.
2007 Grand Cherokee repeatedly lost engine power, power steering and braking. Unclear on loss of airbags. Vehicle taken to bob caldwell Jeep dealership in columbus, OH. We were informed that no recall existed for that year/model. When we returned home we received notification for Chrysler regarding details of recall. Immediately called dealership and they were like "OH, that recall". They had given us a $4000 quote to repair the problem prior to our bringing the actual recall notification for Chrysler. Caldwell then told us that no part existed and they couldn't help us. Today I contacted Chrysler and received a reference #693786. It is supposed to track the non manufactured part when it actually ships at an unknown future date. Chrysler is not able to remedy this defect within a reasonable time. . At this point actually they cannot fix at any time as part does not exist. This situation puts my family at great risk. Chrysler states Jeep is safe to drive. . . Let's hope so for our sake.
Problem: excessive vibration of front end first noticed when increasing up to speed entering 55 mph highway. I brought the Jeep to the Chrysler Jeep dealer where I bought it and they told me there was a front end issue and they needed to order parts for the repair. I was told I had to prepay for the parts , which I did. The parts ordered and replaced were; steering rack and both tie rods. These were replaced on 8/20/13. A few days later the same problem happened, excessive vibration while getting up to speed entering the highway. I immediately drove to the dealer, they test drove the vehicle and could not find the problem they asked me to keep an eye on it and the issue happened again. There were at the least two times I was asked to leave my Jeep with them so they could drive it for a few days. They claim the issue never arose. 2 years later and I am still having the same issue occasionally. It does not happen every day but when it does happen what alleviates it is if I stop on the shoulder of the highway and start again. The dealer does have the records of my numerous visits for the same issue and it has never been resolved.
