general problems of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 1

I was pulling into the gas station to get some gas. I'm used to use a 2-ft drive so what I could not lift my left foot to put pressure on the brake I used my right foot. It slipped off the brake and after the accelerator and I hit a small pole stopping me from going into the gas station front door. Just could have been raised up to a work accident I had a couple weeks prior.

When I'm driving down the road my car won't shut off. I have to pull over to the side of the road turn my key completely off and take it out put it back in and start it. It takes a couple of times to get it started as I have to move the key back and forth and then it will start. I did a check engine light check. And it is saying something about a anti-theft ignition problem. My headlights stay on all the time and blink when it is shut off.

When I am driving, all of the lights on my dash come on. Seatbelt, check engine, brakes, low tire pressure etc. The stay on for a couple of seconds. Then everything turns off for about half a second. Gas gauge, rpm, speedometer all go down to zero, which is how it is when I turn the Jeep off. While I'm still driving and going 45 mph! then every thing turns back on. It happened about 5 months ago once. Then today it happened about 15 times as I drove home from my mother's house, which is about 7-9 miles from my house.

Engine turns off while driving. It has happened several times before , intermittently. February 3rd, 2021, January 17th, 2021, and several times before.

The 4-wheel drive transfer case can direct engine power to the rear wheels only, all four wheels, or in its neutral position, non at all. These vehicles are being recalled because the transfer case can shift into its neutral position without warning. If this were to occur, engine power would not reach any of the drive wheels and the vehicle could not move under its own power. Dealers will reprogram the final drive controller which governs the transfer case to correct this concern.

I would be driving down the road and my Jeep will shut off all by itself and then turn back on all while driving down the expressway doing 75mph my steering wheel and lights and breaks would all lock up then the Jeep would just pop back on and then the rpm's would be really high so I would have to hit the breaks to slow way down so my Jeep wouldn't blow up on me . I've taken it to like 5 mechanics and they can not figure what's wrong with it . Then also I can get in my Jeep and start it and my radio and backup camera won't work and some of my gages wouldn't register when I start it ups don't start going down the road so I will have to pull over shut my Jeep off and pull the key out and open the door to make sure everything is off then put the key can in and restart it and sometimes it will work and sometimes I will have to do it a few times to get it to work .

While driving the Jeep on the interstate at 65 mph lost all power was able to get it to the side of the road and after a minute it restarted it has done it numerous times sometimes sitting at a traffic light sometimes driving 25 mph through town there is no warning no dash signs of anything wrong vehicle just shut off lose all power terrifying took it to a Jeep dealer couldn't duplicate the problem also the radio plays and the dash display does not light up my power windows will go up and down by themselves and end up halfway. I only been able to drive the car short distances because of the fear of death lose breaking and steering. Have seen other complaints with the same issues on the internet why is this vehicle allowed to be on the road.

I had gotten up to take a ride to the store and the day before I didn't see any smoke. But before I made it to my stop sign there was smoke rolling at my driver door so I rushed back to the house and couldn't even open my door. By this time flames where coming out the driver door and I tried putting it out after I called the fire department with a bucket of water because the water hose wouldn't reach and the fire department wouldn't be in a rush. So my whole damn car caught on fire a week ago from a electric problem. Now I'm screwed.

Purchased vehicle used on July 3 2020 at seth lee auto sales in tavares FL. . Paid $1500 cash down payment and incurred a loan as well. Told the vehicle was fine.

The dash, interior lights, speed odometer, ac/heater are going out while driving. It blinks off for a few seconds and comes back on for a few seconds repeatedly while driving. My ignition was replaced due to the previous recall. When the dash comes back on three lights are lit esp bas, check engine and the stability control.

Been having starting issues for at least 6 months. It starts sometimes and other times have to wait a few hours to a few days. The last 2 days won't start at all and has drained my less then a year old battery. 3 weeks ago windows will roll down or up whenever they want. Doors lock and unlock at random. I believed my car is possessed. Reading more and more I realized my tipm is bad. I have learned with all the random things with this Jeep that I will never buy one again. It is a very dangerous car and too many issues, with no resolution other then I have to empty every pocket to fix it. It stalls when driving it shifts into all gears slows me down when I'm on highway at a very unsafe speed. It is unreliable and I put my life my kids and others at risk while driving. Sadly, I believe Jeep doesn't care about safety since there is 1000's of complaints with same issues. It also says my air bags won't work because the tipm is bad.

Vehicle shuts off when going down the road and when starting it is in continuous turn over and not starting.

Vechicle was in motion brakes failed, causing front end of Jeep to make contact with another vechicle appox. Speed at time of impact 60 mph airbags failed to deploy.

The fuse box under hood is labeled incorrectly and on the cover states spare fuses in cavity 29 and 30. However, it is acctually the airbags which is why it is in a yellow safety holder and also the original manual that comes with the Jeep states that it is the airbag. However directly on the box under the hood it says cavity 29 and 30 are spares which are causing people to pull them out and use them as spares elsewhere unaware that they are in danger.

When vehicle goes over a small or large bump, a dashboard light cluster indicates to service 4wd system and is accompanied by abs, traction control, and esp bas warning lights. Abs is noticeably disabled when this light cluster appears. The indications usually last a few minutes before going away. This has been occurring for approximately the last 18,000 miles. When brought up at the dealership during routine maintenance, I am told they can find nothing wrong with the vehicle. On this last occasion, I lost full braking authority and was luckily able to gradually slow down and pull over to the freeway shoulder while applying the emergency brake. When the vehicle was shut off and turned back on the indications went away and braking was restored. Obviously, this creates a very dangerous situation.

All dashboard warning lights come on. Loss of electrical power. No headlights, no brake lights. Speedometer doesn't work, tachometer doesn't work, radio doesn't work. No power locks or windows. Anything electrical doesn't work. The battery is good. The vehicle runs. But it is unsafe. The vehicle is crap. Never buy a Jeep! they are total crap.
