2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Speed Control & Cruise Problems

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.

I WOULD BE DRIVING AND RANDOMLY IT DID HARD SHIFTS THEN IT JUST STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DRIVING AND LOOSE SPEED AND NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. THE RPM ARE AT 2500 AT 30 MPH AND I CAN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT GOES NO FASTER

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO A POSSIBLE NEW RECALL ON THE 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. ON 9/22/16 THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY FOR 15 SECONDS EVEN WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PADDLE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SOME RECORDINGS AND NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL BE RECORDING MORE FOOTAGE TO SHOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION ON THE 2007 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT AFTER THE RECALL OF P41/NHTSA 14V-438 WAS COMPLETE AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. FIRST THE NEW PART THAT WAS REPLACED CAUSED THE SHORT IN THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THIS WAS FIXED ON MY COST AND NOW THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TWICE. THE RPMS WERE 6000 OR 7000.

VEHICLE HAS HAD THE IGNITION RECALL DONE. IN THE HOT WEATHER, YOU CAN'T RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING AS THE CAR WILL INDISCRIMINATELY STALL WHEN YOU COME TO EITHER A STOP LIGHT OR A YIELD. CAR HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. LAST WEEK, WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, RPMS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN. HAD TO FLOOR THE CAR TO GET GOING AND IT KNOCKED VERY HARD. HAD JEEP DEALER LOOK AT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE THAT JEEP IS NOT ADDRESSING. THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE A FAIR BUY BACK PRICE ON THE CAR, KNOWING WE HAVE A 19 YEAR OLD DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OUR LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CAR AND HE WOULDN'T PUT HIS FAMILY IN IT. JEEP DEALERS DON'T WANT TO FACE THE PROBLEM OR ADDRESS IT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT BECOMES MORE APPARENT IN SUMMER MONTHS OF HOT WEATHER.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED NEARLY REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE RPM'S WENT UP. EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK THE RPM'S FLUXUATE GO UP AND DOWN.

HI, I HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER CONCERNING THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPRESSED OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. MY TRUCK WILL WITHOUT WARNING BEGIN TO WANT TO STOP AS IF I AM GLIDING THEN ACCELERATES RANDOMLY. THE 800 # SENT ME TO A SERVICE CENTER THAT UPDATED SYSTEM COMPUTER UPGRADES BUT IT OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT HELPED THE SITUATION. I AM A SINGLE MORE OF 5 THAT HAS NOT OPTION BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND TO TAKE MY CHILDREN PLACES. THEY ONLY ANSWER IS THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SOMETIME ALL OF MY SHIFT LIGHTS WILL GO ON AT ONE TIME AND MY MALFUNCTION LIGHT NOW STAYS ON. I PAY ALMOST $500 A MONTH IN CAR PAYMENTS FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS DESPITE WHAT CHRYSLER'S 800 # STATES IS OKAY TO DRIVE. I NEED HELP. *TR

SAME DESCRIPTION AS MANY OTHER CONSUMERS. SLOW, ROUGH ACCELERATION AT ALL TIMES. VERY DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY. NEED TO PULL OVER ON RAMP AND TURN OFF VEHICLE IN HOPES THAT RESTART WILL HELP. VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER AND THOSE AROUND DRIVER. HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF VEHICLE AND HOPE THAT UPON RESTART VEHICLE WILL IMPROVE. TOO MANY COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS HAVE GONE UNHEEDED AND AN IMMEDIATE RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATHS OCCUR. *TR

STARTED WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING, THEN IT SLOWED VEHICLE FELT LIKE BRAKES WERE ON, GAVE IT MORE GAS AND GOT NO SPEED INCREASE, PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND THEN IT SEEMED TO SURGE AND SPEED UP ON ITS OWN. THIS WAS UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION &COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL. AFTER THIS! IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL DRIVING. NEXT DAY TOOK A 110 MILE TRIP TRAVELING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY NO ISSUES UNTIL I ARRIVED AT DESTINATION PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AND PUT IN PARK AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ABS, ESP, BAS, &TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING & SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE... I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I STOPPED... WHEN I STARTED UP TO RETURN HOME ALL THE ABOVE LIGHTS STAYED ON BACKED UP OUT OF DRIVEWAY , WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND GAVE IT GAS IT STARTED TO MAKE A BAD GRINDING SOUND LIKE METAL ON METAL A CLUNKING SOUND AND DID NO'T RESPOND TO FUEL PEDDLE. I INCREASED SPEED THEN I FELT IT RELEASE LIKE PARK BRAKE BEING RELEASED... IT DROVE NORMAL BACK HOME DASH LIGHTS STILL ON,... 110 MILE TRIP DOING 70 MOST OF THE WAY... AT HOME I USED THE BUILT IN VEHICLE SCANNER AND GOT CODE U1417 WHICH INDICATES FRONT LEFT WHEEL SENSOR... I REPLACED BOTH SIDES SAME GRINDING SOUND, REPLACED THE 2 BACK SENSOR... NOW I HAVE NO LIGHTS ON DASH AND NO GRINDING CLUNKING SOUNDS NO SOUNDS AT ALL. BUT WHEN I DRIVE I GET THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING GIVING IT GAS I CAN NO'T ACCELERATE ABOVE 25 MPH ,SEEMS TO RELEASE AT LOWER SPEEDS BELOW 25MPH BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ON AND SOMETHING IT DECREASING ENGINE POWER... THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM! WHEN I PULLED UNTO TRAFFIC AND I COULD NO'T GET UP TO SPEED I ALMOST GOT INTO A BROADSIDE ACCIDENT... I THOUGHT I HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM TESTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY NO DASH LIGHTS ON ,AND NO GRINDING OR CLUNKING SOUND SO WHAT IS IT NOW? ... IS IT SOME TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A FATHOM PROBLEM A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY, MY JEEP BEGAN TO DECELERATE UNTIL IT REACHED ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN THOUGH I MAINTAINED CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT SO I COASTED, AND PRESSED THE PEDAL A LITTLE HARDER, UNTIL EVENTUALLY, THE SUV LURCHED AND THEN STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE VEHICLE DECELERATE TO 35 WHILE IT SEEMED THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED, AND THEN ACCELERATED AGAIN. AFTER THE ACCELERATION DROPPED AND THEN INCREASED THE SECOND TIME, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN 65 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY 15 MILES LATER NEAR MY HOME. DRIVING A VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IS A HORRIBLE FEELING! I WAS SO AFRAID THAT A CAR OR TRUCK MOVING AT THE NORMAL SPEED WOULD CRASH INTO ME. IF THE TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE TERRIFYING, BECAUSE IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE, AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON OR HOW LONG I WOULD BE STRANDED. WE JUST HAD THE SUV'S ENGINE TUNED ONE MONTH AGO AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER, AND WE ALSO HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME. THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY EPISODES LIKE THIS UNTIL NOW. I'M ACTUALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE JEEP AGAIN! *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD AND NOT EVEN 2 MILES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT LET HER GO FASTER THAN 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO GET AN OBII SCAN. THE CODE THAT WAS PROMPTED WAS AN ESM MALFUNCTION OR TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. I AM HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE FINDING A SPEED SENSOR THAT IS AVAILABLE AND HIGH PRICED. THE ESM IS NOT HARDLY AVAILABLE ANYWHERE EXCEPT AT A DEALER. I HAVE BEEN READING TONIGHT ONLINE AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CASES OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENING WITH SOME MORE SEVERE INCIDENTS. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SHIFTING, ESM AND SPEED SENSOR ISSUES, SHOULDN'T THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED. I AM PRETTY SURE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST ISSUE OR COMPLAINT. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND A VEHICLE THAT WAS NAMED A SMART BUY BY CONSUMER GUIDE AUTOMOTIVE IN 2006 AND THE REDEFINING VEHICLE OF JEEPS FLAGSHIP IS A HAZARD AND UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. I WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING A JEEP OF THIS YEAR TO ANYONE. I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS INCIDENT WITH THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION AND START THINKING ABOUT YOUR CONSUMERS SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

FOR A COUPLE YEARS MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL EPISODES OF IGNITION SHUT OFF. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH JEEP, ONLY SOME DODGE MODELS. I PAID TO HAVE A 2ND COMPUTERIZED KEY MADE AT THE DEALERSHIP, AS DODGE WAS SAYING THEIR ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE DRIVER HAVING OTHER KEYS ON IGNITION KEY RING. THIS WAY I HAD A SINGLE IGNITION KEY. STILL EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE. LAST TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A SUBDIVISION ON TO A BUSY 2 LANE HWY WITH A POSTED SPEED OF 50 MILES PER HR. IGNITION SHUT OFF AS I STARTED TO CROSS THE RIGHT HAND LANE. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH FORWARD MOMENTUM TO CLEAR TRAFFIC AND CAME TO REST ON THE LEFT HAND SHOULDER BY A FARMERS FIELD. I FINALLY RECEIVED IN THE MAIL THE OFFICIAL CHRYSLER RECALL NOTICE FOR MY JEEP DUE TO IGNITION SHUT OFF. CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER THIS MORNING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT, ALTHOUGH THE RECALL SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. WITH SEVERAL INCIDENTS, I FELT TIME WAS CRITICAL. MY DEALER ADVISED ME THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER AND THEREFORE COULD NOT SCHEDULE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. IF HOWEVER I WANTED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR THEY COULD SCHEDULE. I ADVISED THEM THAT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE. EMAILED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND HERE ALSO, MY DISSATISFACTION AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WONTON DISREGARD FOR HUMAN SAFETY BY A MANUFACTURE AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND IN JUNE OF 2011 WITH 52095 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH OF 2012, I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST OF MANY STALLS HAPPEN TO THE JEEP WITH 60,980 MILES ON IT. IT HAS RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE STALL OUTS THAT HAPPENED THROUGH OUT THE YEAR. IT SEEMS TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING HOWEVER NOT ALL THE TIME. IT'S STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (MASS PIKE OR RT. 9) AND ON SIDE ROADS. I HAVE NOT OBSERVED ANY PRECURSORS TO THE STALLING. WHEN IT STALLS, IT BUCKS AND THEN THE JEEP DOES NOT ACCELERATE HOWEVER THE LIGHTS COME ON, JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MANUAL VEHICLE IS STALLED. THESE TYPES OF STALL OUTS I EXPERIENCE DO NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES IS THE JEEP WILL BUCK, LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL, BUT IT DOESN'T AFTER SLAMMING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER A STALL OUT, I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE JEEP AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON, JUST THE OIL LIGHT. THIS JEEP HAS HAD THE IGNITION CONNECTOR AND SOFTWARE REPLACED TWICE IN OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE OF A STORED CODE: FCMCGW B2185 . THERE ARE TWO OTHER CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER: PCM P0884 AND ABS C12K. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO DAN'S JEEP IN WESTBOROUGH, MA SINCE THE FIRST STALL OUT TO THE PRESENT. THE RECENT STALL OUT WAS FRIDAY, JANUARY 11TH. THIS STALL OUT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE "PROGRAMMING ASSESS" (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) APPEARED ON THE DASH WITH A BLINKING RED LIGHT. EVERYTIME I BRING THE JEEP TO DAN'S, THEY GIVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM...THEY DON'T' KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND I CAN START REPLACING PARTS TO SEE IF IT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO JUST KEEP REPLACES PARTS TO SEE IF IT'LL CORRECT THIS SERIOUS AND UNSAFE PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT REPORTED HOW TO FIX THIS OR MADE THE STEP FORWARD TO FIX IT. *TR
