Automatic Transmission problems of the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee

While stuck on ice in our driveway, my wife was concerened about backing down the driveway to retry getting to the house, she had the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee in park, I went to assist in backing down the driveway, she hopped over the console and hit the gearshift with her leg or foot the Jeep gearshift then went from park, into reverse without the brake being depressed as is the design, the Jeep rapidly went backwards the open door "scooping me toward the underside of the Jeep, I was able to roll away from the Jeep, my wife then got into the driver seat and put into park just before crashing into the wooded area along our driveway. A check of the interlock sytem showed it was and still is non working. This incident could have been met with tragic results had I not been able to roll away from the underside of the moving Jeep, and had my wife been unable to stop the Jeep when she did. As a result I have sustained pain to my lower back, and my wife to her cervical spine.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while traveling speeds of 40 and 65 miles per hour the vehicle shifted into first gear, causing the vehicle to lose speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer four times, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 47,000.

When manually trying to shift my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee from 3rd to 4th gear the rpms just keep going up and doesn't go into gear the dealership fix this problem 3 times already their seems to be no end in sight, I have talked to many other Jeep people online and it seems to be a problem with many others with the 3. 7 v6 4x4 its a big deal when your driving on the l. I. E. And you have to pull over and try to get back on !!!!.

I recently purchased a newer model used vehicle that has started to present some serious concerns that the dealership where I purchased it cannot figure out the problem and discounts my complaint. My vehicle's motor acts as if is going to stall on take off from a stop position. I have attempted on 3 separate occasions to have the problem serviced by the dealership's service department; however, the dealership tells me they have no concerns with the vehicle. Although the problem is not presenting itself when I bring it to the dealership, it is happening more often now than in the beginning of the vehicle's purchase that I know the problem is escalating. I cannot figure out what "triggers" this event except that when it does happen, my two young children are in the vehicle. A new issue also has presented itself. On July 4, as we were traveling down a narrow road aligned by trees, the vehicle down shifted so hard it cause the vehicle to accelerate and forcibly jerk; however, we immediately regained control of the vehicle. My abs, esp and bas lights are displayed and I have an appointment with the dealership to have this serviced for Tuesday, July 6, at which tme I will also ask them to perform another inspection/service my stalling motor issue as well as the new accelerating/jerking issue.

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalls at high speeds and intermittently while driving. Dealer unable to fix thus far ( has car for almost 30 days). In addition, same thing happened on my 2007 model and has happened to a number of people I know with Jeep Grand Cherokees. Internet is filed with reports of same events happening at random. Mine stalled at 65 mph - all electric, radio, flashers, everything just goes out. Very scary and very unsafe. Please evaluate.

Vehicle accelerated when put into reverse. Chrysler sent an "independant" inspector, but they will not share the report. In fact, Chrysler lied about conducting the inspection. They told me the inspector could not do an evaluation because the vehicle was "disassembled". The dealer tells me the inspector spent two hours with a service technician and test drove the vehicle. I always get suspicious when someone lies to me. This requires follow up to make sure they are not hiding an unsafe defect in their vehicle.

Vibration at 45 miles per hour and above. .

Three months after purchasing a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the vehicle seems to want to stall when shifting gears. Within 8 months it actually is stalling, at various speeds, and has done so at least 15 times in two years. Neither the dealership or Chrysler acknowledge the shifting problem and have no remedy for the stalling.

- the contact leases a 2008 Jeep cherokee 4x4. While pulling into a parking garage the vehicle would not accelerated, instead it went into reverse. She waited a few minutes then when she tried to proceed forward the vehicle continued in reverse then jerked and struck the preceding vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who wasn't able to diagnose the failure. The dealer stated nothing was wrong and it might have been driver error. A police report was taken by the white plains police department report number 08-10826. The current and failure mileage were 2,511.

Vehicle was purchased on 12/31/07. In two separate occasions, the vehicle's transmission gets stuck and doesn't change gears. Car at both times was driven at 40 miles per hour. When accelerated, the vehicle's speed would not increase, rendering the car undriveable.
