general problems of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 1

Sometimes when I put my vehicle in drive and start driving my vehicle will go into neutral forcing me to pull over, put it in park and turn it off and turn it back on in order for me to drive it again. This happens about twice a month.

Engine stalls no matter what speed I'm going. Happens more often when coming to a stop. It's as if I just turn the key off. When it stalls, I stop and put it in park, turn the key off and start it right back up and take off. It's becoming a dangerous safety concern.

#1. V-8 the vehicle accelerates out of controll when accelerating from a stopped position, no consistently but intermitently' appears to try accerating to 65 mp cruise control. Must slam it into neutral to stop the vehicle in city traffic, extremely dangerous. #2. Transmission or powertrain is skipping lagging or bucking on acceleration from stopped position and from normal driving at all speeds, under 65 mp. Can this be the computer?????.

Recall has been open for years regarding the ignition switch but Chrysler never has the part. Further, this car has numerous reports of braking issues that are sporadic and it caused me to rear-end a vehicle on Nov. 2, luckily at a very low rate of speed. I let my foot off the brake to inch forward and it would not engage again when I pressed it again moments later. Mechanic couldn't replicate the issue but that is typical for Chrysler it seems.

Anytime I go 50+ mph all I can hear is a roaring noise. We have replaced the whole rear end almost 3 weeks ago thinking maybe that was the problem turns out it not. We bought this car almost a year ago so we are unsure if any recalls on it have been taken care of.

This is my second time in 10 years replacing the gear shift in the transmission in this vehicle. . The gear shift goes out every 5 years. . It starts with the engine light coming on then all the gears have the circle around all the gears . For example it likes like I'm in drive, reverse, park and neutral. When I'm parked. Then from there if I' have to stop or yield for and reason it's sometimes hesitante to move. Very scary.

Traveling on I 95 . Car engine light came on and car shifted into a gear that felt neutral. I put the hazard lights on and slowly moved over. Basically dove off exit in neutral. Engine off and restarted. Ok for a while then happened again. Garage said that part is back ordered which is alarming to me. Is this a frequent problem?.

Complaint submitted in regard to fca us llc recall p41 NHTSA 14v-438 first complaint filed 12/12/2014 odi number: 10663969 on 8/19/2015, I was at the mukwonago post office to send a package. I came back out to my vehicle, started it and attempted to back out of my parking space when the steering wheel locked up and the engine shut off. Another car was on its way down the parking isle I was parked in and almost hit me because the driver was anticipating that my vehicle would have kept moving. I got out of my vehicle and apologized to the young lady who had almost hit me and explained to her the situation. She said, "you should really get that fixed. You could cause an accident. " I was upset, to say the least, but needed to get back to work. I started my vehicle two more times, in addition to the first attempt, and attempted to put it in gear - no success. Finally, I was able to keep the engine running and proceed to my route.

The dashboard went blank, no speed information, etc, all the warning lights lite up as if the vehicle was being started. Steering became hard, was a very scary moment!.

Car consistently stalls when coming to a complete stop or idling.

My daughter was driving the vehicle on I-40 between raleigh and wilmington. She was going the speed limit and the car just shut off. This is the 5th time this has happened and we have had it into 2 different Jeep dealerships. I drove down and picked her up and drove the car 90 miles further on I-40 without incident. When we arrived in wilmington and exited the interstate I noticed what I believe was the transmussion downshift being abrupt and jerky.

I have 2 recalls from Jeep and nothing has been done for years, they are p41/NHTSA 14v-438 and p73. Every time I go into the dealership they say they can't get the parts. The forms they send out don't have a date on them so they are Smart enough not to have any incriminating evidence as to how long the customer sits on these and they are waiting for an accident or the customer sells the car and the paper work gets lost. These vehicle manufacturers need to be jacked up a little bit and be given an ultimatum to get these recalls fixed before something serious is caused by there criminal intent to not to fix these recalls.

I was driving late Friday night (11/14)/early Saturday morning (11/15) to waterford, WI from palmyra, WI and my vehicle shut off causing me to become startled, which then caused me to deviate from my lane and then was pulled over by a town of mukwonago police officer. I could have killed someone if oncoming traffic was involved! I then received a ticket for unsafe lane deviation and was taken to waukesha county jail under the assumption that I was drinking and driving after I attempted to show the officer the recall for my vehicle. Pending my court date, I could receive a possible owi charge. I am very upset about this because that is an $800 fine and will also cause my insurance premium to increase.

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!!.

N23 recall was done a while back which has since then turned into no 4 wheel low/ neutral. I was advised by the dealer as have many people it seems that it's the transfercase actuator motor so I replaced it myself it was good for a few weeks then came up on the dash again service 4 wheel drive system. Chrysler has since came out with a reflash it looks like and when I called in today to see what it's about they are going to charge me for it. It's stupid I have to pay to fix their mistake.

When stopped at a stop light on a very congested road. I pressed the accelerator to proceed when the light turned green. I experienced a slow sluggish start so I pressed the accelerator further to the floorboard, there was no response by the engine. Car proceeded at a slow rate of speed (10 mph with rpm's at 2500). I had to pull off to the side of the road and restart car which did somewhat fix the problem. I have experienced this numerous times now, usually occurs when the car is shifting in 1st and 2nd gear. My concern is when I pull into a right of way and the car does not properly accelerate I put myself and passengers at a safety risk of being collided in the rear of my car by another car.

Jeep performed an n23 recall on 10/5/13 on my vehicle as a response to a former consumer complaint about Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles slipping into neutral while parked. After completing the recall, which reprogrammed the final drive controller module, I left the dealership and discovered that my vehicle could no longer enter 4 wheel drive low and receives a service 4wd system light. I have been notified by other owners that this recall had a similar effect on their Jeeps. I contacted the dealer service department and they knew of no available fix. The service tech manager stated that 1 in 3 vehicles that have had the n23 recall result in the same problem. He says it is likely that 1 in 3 is the same proportion of people who actually attempt to use their 4 wheel drive low. On approximately Dec 6, 2013, during an ice storm, my vehicle became stuck on the side of the road. I needed to utilize my 4wd low to get back onto the roadway and was not able to.

After receiving recall n23, 4wd low no longer works.

The engine stalled while at cruise speed (not accelerating) and with no warning. There was 1/2 tank of gas; the mil did not illuminate. Upon loss of engine power, all power assist systems (e. G. : brakes, steering) ceased to operate. I successfully restarted the vehicle by shifting into neutral and turning the key as far toward "off" as is possible when the vehicle is not in park. On the second attempt, the vehicle restarted with no mil illumination.

As I was driving my car jerked real hard and all my dash lights came on and my ability to drive my car was useless. My Jeep slowed down on the freeway during morning rush hour traffic almost causing several accidents. As I was trying to restart my Jeep it just keep making a clicking noise and wouldn't stop. I had to pull the key from the ignition and reinsert the key and try to start the Jeep. After 3 tries it started and I went to drive off and as I was accelerating my Jeep did it again finally it stayed on and I was able to drive to a safe location. My Jeep sounded real strange not like normal. This is the 5 or 6th time this has happened since I had my Jeep not even a year to date.

Vehicle run perfectly. Took vehicle in for recall n23. From that time I am not able to put tansfer case in neutral for towing behind motorhome which I have done 100's of time in 6 years with no problem. Numerous calls to Chrysler/Jeep and trips to different dealers have accomplished nothing. They are in complete denial that they have a problem, but there a hundreds on the internet all complaining about the same thing. Something needs to be done to get Chrysler /Jeep to fix this problem.

After receiving recall n23, 4wd low no longer works.

Summary: the vehicle experienced significantly reduced power while driving in freeway traffic. It was necessary to move to the far right lane and exit the traffic flow. This has happened on several occasions. It is unsafe when the condition occurs in heavy traffic.
