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.

I was driving and wrecked into a sign because I was unable to stop and the vehicle caught on fire under the hood.

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4. 7l when driving on roadway the rpm go up down and then the Jeep shot off and then put the vehicle in neutral and turn the key start and the vehicle up and when driving again and the start again and took the vehicle to Jeep dealer and there don’t find anything wrong.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while at a stop sign and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The battery was previously replaced. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the contact was made aware of a faulty ignition switch. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who informed the contact that the wires were loose. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to dealer however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

Jeep is having electrical issues. It will randomly go into limp mode at start, but turning it off and restarting it fixes that issue. It's done this three times in the 2 years we have had it. I am now having an electrical issue where something is causing a draw on the battery while the vehicle is turned off. I have had to replace the alternator, starter, and now the battery. It is causing the battery to swell, and the Jeep is having to be jumped to start multiple times a week. The battery was put on a deep charge, and it had to be jumped the next day. Also the air conditioning back lighting goes off and on when you turn the knobs or adjust the fan speed while both driving and stationary. This has been going on for roughly a month.

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 .

The heat of the summer months tend to make the car engine sputter as you head down the road. This happpened again yesterday only this time as we prepared to make our turn the vehicle totally shut off, allowing me to loose control of the steering we were fortunate no one was behind us or pulling out where we were turning . We would have either been rear ended or would have run into any car waiting to turn.

I have 2 issues. 1st is Jeep intermittently doesn't start. Which sometimes causes it to shut off while driving luckily I have been on side streets. It cranks but doesn't fire. Was told it could be a bad fuel pump relay. Next issue is it intermittently puts in self in all gears sometimes when I start it and sometimes when driving. I have to turn Jeep off and restart it. Worst has been when I'm on highway and it does this I go from 75mph to 20mph at a dangerous rate. I then have to pull over and turn off and restart again. It has been doing this on and off for about a year now. And progressively getting more often.

I have a 2007 Grand Cherokee. While taking my kids to school, I was slowing down when the Jeep just died. I coasted to the side of the road and was able to start the car again. Anytime since then, mainly when slowing down to stop, it would do the same thing. Tried replacing ecm, sensors, etc. Nothing has worked yet. Jeep dealer told us it could be the wiring harness. . . Which we cant find anywhere.

Engine dies while driving. This happens randomly whether I'm traveling 10 mph or 70 mph. Very dangerous! no warning signs or lights before shut down occurs.

Car will stay at 40 mph as if locked into that speed. I press down on the gas pedal but the car will not go any faster. I have to pull over and turn the car off, when restarted it works fine for a while. Then randomly it will happen again. This has occurred roughly once a month for the past year. On line there are thousands of Jeep owners reporting the same issue. I called Jeep but they said car was out of warranty so tough luck. I have owned 23 cars and have never had a car do this to me. Other people have driven this car with the same issues. This has happened both on the highway and on rural streets.

The engine died going 70mph on the hwy with out any notice. I was barely able to get to the side of road as steering locked up, once on side of road, I put it into 'park' and 'restarted the engine'. It worked just fine from then on, till about 3 months later, it happened again. This time I was approaching a stop light and turning right, I barely was able to get thru the light and to the side of the road, as the steering had again locked up. This is very scary! everything in the car turns 'off', I dont even think the flashers worked during these times. Once at a complete stop, and after putting into 'park', everything starts back up normally, and drives fine. There is not any other signs of anything wrong, no dash light warnings or anything.

Shortly after my husband got home we heard someone honking their horn outside of our apartment, so we looked and our vehicle was on fire. It was parked and not running when it happened.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the motor began to shutter. The contact stated they were driving at 35 mph when the vehicle started to shake and then they pulled over. Shortly the vehicle began to catch fire. No warning lights illuminated. The contact found out on line that there were no recalls on vehicle. The failure mileage is 1,11000. Jw.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The vehicle was towed to a independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed the be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. A local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000. The VIN was not available. Tw.

The vehicle has a safety issued at this point it is unsafe to drive. The clockspring is bad due to manufacturers errors. When the vehicle is driven, the vehicle is losing power due to engine mechanical problems. The clockspring has a code stated as c2205 on the computer module. The steering wheel shakes going over 60mph at this point I do not know why.

This is the third time I receive a letter on the mail from Jeep named as "important safety recall information" stating that my car has been recalled due to a defect relating to motor vehicle safety, more specifically: unintended change in ignition switch position that implies a safety risk. I went on the safecar. Gov site to confirm the status of my recall and it says that there is a recall in effect on my car model but unfortunately Jeep doesn't have the part replacement yet. I want this problem fixed ASAP.

My 2007 Jeep g. Cherokee can be on the highway traveling 55 mph and then decided to die. It will shut off and cannot increase speed. I have a one year old in the back seat and this has happened to many times while having my son the back seat and trying to get over to the break down lane before it completely dies. Also doesn't start some days some will. Defiantly have electrical proven like in the recall. Their is a fuel relay recall there is a many recalls for the same things happening to my Jeep and it's becoming a hazard and scary for me traveling with my son.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated after the vehicle was remedied under NHTSA campaign: the vehicle expereicned numerous issues. The contact stated that the vehicle would independently start, an abormal anti-freeze odor was in the vehicle, and the shifter was dificult to operate. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mielage was approximately 141,000. Kh.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently lost all power. All the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. When the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the main computer and throttle body needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired, but the issue persisted. The vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 191,000.

Dropped a valve seat and destroyed the engine. Head and piston damage. Normal every day driving. This is the second Jeep engine in this car that blew up at 70k miles.

Soon after the p41 ignition switch recall, while driving 1 mile, the instrument cluster gauges stopped working-speedo, gas, etc , all warning lights illuminated . Information messages in the ic noted "service required : and transmission -over the temperature allowed u1403,u1411,u110e, u110f and others all implausible signals to ic. While driving transmission an road speed decreased immediately while at speed and engine and transmission to not operate in a predictably safe operation. These are the symptoms that the recall was to repair. What is the next step?.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) months ago. The dealer (brown's Jeep Chrysler Dodge ram, 483 NY-112, east patchogue, NY 11772, (631) 289-8500) was unable to determine when the remedy and part would become available. The dealer stated that they placed the contact on a waiting list for the part, but did not specify what number the contact was placed on the list. While waiting for the part, a failure progressed that caused the key not to turn over to start the vehicle. Also, the service engine warning indicator illuminated. The manufacturer had seven tsbs on the engine. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.

Took in Jan '15 for recalls - they only fixed 1 of the 3 (I had made an appt for all) in Dec '15 it kept leaving me stranded as the recalls had not been fixed. They finally fiixed the other 2 (service 4 wheel drive and ignition switch. I called 3 weeks ago as it kept saying "service 4 wheel drive" and several times shifted itself into 4 wheel low. Now it won't start and is stuck again. Less than 60,000 miles and it is worthless.

The following events happened over a period of 2 weeks. When in motion on highway, instrument panel lost power, then came back on and all control panel lights lit up, then went off. While in motion on highway, instrument panel went blank--cycled on and off several times then returned to normal. When engine was off, ignition was off and key was out of ignition, lights were turned off, headlights turned on and off twice for no reason. While driving on highway on slight incline, engine lost power for a few seconds then returned to normal. Vehicle has been to a certified Jeep repair shop and they could not find the problem. (see attached).

My Jeep has been recalled due to possible ignition switch failure. I have called every "Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge" dealership around me and all dealerships have a waiting list of a minimum of 2-3 months for parts to be in to fix this problem. Because my safety is in jeopardy I feel that it's a bit unreasonable for me (and the other people on the list) to wait for months for this problem to be fixed.

While in motion, 60 mph, the engine stops. Highway driving. I coasted to a stop and restarted the engine. Very scary occurrence!.

I own a 07 Grand Cherokee with a 5. 7l v8 hemi. I loved that truck and took great care of it. Nearly 10 months ago I had a valve seat drop without warning at 92k miles and now I need a new engine. There were no warning signs leading up to the failure and I kept very good care of the vehicle. After driving for 15 minutes I stopped at a store to get materials, when I returned and tried to start the vehicle, the engine wouldn't turn over. It hasn't started since that day. It was towed to a Chrysler dealership and $150 later they let me know what they "thought" the issue was, but I was still informed the only way to confirm I needed a new engine was to charge me $1,500 to take the engine apart and "diagnose" the issue, not fix it. They knew what the issue was and still tried to charge me for it. On top of that every Chrysler representative and maintenance person I've talked to about this issue (4) have been completely unhelpful, to the point of being rude. After having the vehicle towed to an independent service center, I was quoted nearly $8,000 for a new engine and they can't even guarantee the issue won't occur again since they have the same parts. I simply can't afford that amount of work, so now I'm just making payments on a dead truck that's of no use to me. Fca is a joke of a company, and they need to make this right.

Bri was driving down the road in the vehicle cut off I pulled in to a parking space in fort payne alabama try to crank it again it would not crank and it done it before but it will crank back up first time they said the software second time they said it was the thermostat now they say it's the key and I can't get one because it's on backorder and they said it would take a year and its been in there for 2 month and we need a vehicle or we won't have a job we are hitching rides with people.

I had just pulled onto a 4 lane highway when the rpm's started racing but the Jeep did not accelerate it instead loss all power. I coasted to the side of the highway and just the Jeep off and restarted it and called the service garage the next morning and they said it sounded like the security system had shut down the Jeep. It has since did that at least 10 more times and so far every time it has been as soon as I pull out, what will happen if I am travelling at 75 mph and it loses power on a crowded freeway. I recently learned there was a recall on it but the parts are not available until September. Recall number 14v-438. And I no way believe that it is caused by my knee hitting the ignition switch, that is not even possible.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle turned off while in the drive position. The vehicle was put into neutral and the vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired the dealer stated that the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact also received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000(electrical system) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,000. Pp.

While driving my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee (11/8/14) I was at a red light and the vehicle just cut off! I heard a beeping sound and noticed all the lights on the dash board were off while the car was in "drive". I put the car in "park" & turned the key in the "off" position--waited a few minutes & started the car again. I had my mother with me & told her about the "recall" & this was it. . . The ignition switch (recall p41). We decided to go home & when I pulled in her driveway, the same thing happed again. . . The engine just cut off! I'm very afraid to drive my Jeep now. . . This could have happened while I was on the highway!! something needs to be done now!! this is my only means of transportation!! what procedures do you have in place to assist people until you are able to get the replacement part(s)? lives are at stake!!.

I own a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I received a recall on a part in July of 2014. It is now April 2015. There is still no part to replace this igintion switch problem. I have children that I need to drive to and from school. This vehicle is not safe. My husband has seen now at least 3 vehicles (same make, model and year) in car accidents. These car were completely totaled. There is no fixing them. One vehicle a car blew up because the igintion switch. This is ridiculous. Almost a year now, and there is still not part to fix this problem. And I can't sell my vehicle to anybody because then I could be sued because of the ignition switch recall. Your Jeep dealerships will not buy them back for what they are worth because of the ignition switch recall. I get below value offers. I will not buy Jeep again. But the fact that Jeep is taking so long to fix this issue is ridiculous. When people start dying because of it, then you will be sued for those deaths because that ignition switch recall was not fixed in a decent amount of time. I figured 6 months max. Its now almost a year and again still no replacement part. I'm disgusted at the fact that nothing is being done about this. No one seems to care or realize the potential danger this ignition switch causes. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone but it may happen to you just so you open up your eyes and realize what is really going on.

I received an 'important safety recall' (p41) in September 2014. The notice indicated that the necessary part was not available and I would receive notice when it was. I have not yet received that notice. I tried calling and was told to hold to speack with a rep - I have held for a very very long time and no one answers. If this is a safety issue, I need it taken care of immediatly. My grandchildren will be in that car this summer and I must insist that they be safe. Please advise when the necessary part will be available. Thank you, carolyn harrison.

I was driving at highway speed when I accidently touched the key in the ignition switch. The engine died and I coasted to the roadside where I restarted the engine. I had received the recall notice sent by Chrysler and had followed the directions contained in the notice, so notified them of the incident. About a month later the same thing occurred but this time I did not touch the key. This time it happened while I was stopped at an intersection and started to accelerate into a turn. The vehicle had just began to move when it died. I restarted the vehicle and completed the trip. I again notified Chrysler who directed me to have the switch replaced immediately. The dealer that I was using told me the old model replacement switch was not in stock and unavailable as the new parts had not been produced and he would not attempt to find a replacement. I located a dealer who ordered the old designed part from Chrysler stock and replaced it for me. They also instructed me to return when the new parts are available as the work did not satisfy the recall notice. I contacted Chrysler some time back to see when newly designed parts would be available and they still had not received them. They also said they had no time frame for the replacement parts. This is the one year anniversary of the problem without resolution, far too long.
