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 .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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. *TR

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.
