2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
TAKATA RECALL... MY JEEP HAD ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN 5 TIMES NOW. TWO OF WHICH I WAS ON M24 WHICH IS A VERY BUSY ROAD. FIRST TIME I ALMOST HIT A MAN ON A MOTORCYCLE AS MY FOOT WAS CRAMMING ON MY BRAKE PEDDLE THE JEEP WAS STILL ACCELERATING, I THEN HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO STOP. PULLED OVER ITS STILL REVING ITSELF UP. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. TODAY THIS HAPPENED AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED A SEMI TRUCK.

I NO LONGER HAVE THE FOLLOWING: BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, SPEED CONTROL, KEY FOB, POSSIBLY AIR BAGS AND GENERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS IS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHILE TURNING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE IS PARKED UNTIL IT CAN BE SERVICED. DEALER UNABLE TO SERVICE AND WOULD ONLY SCHEDULE AN APPOINT FOUR DAYS FROM TODAY.

2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
AFTER DRIVING PROLONGED TIME ON XPRESSWAY AND SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING, THE JEEP HESITATES, MISFIRES AND LETS OUT GIANT CLOUDS OF WHITE SMOKE OUT TAILPIPE AFTER ACCELERATING WITH PARTIAL OR FULL THROTTLE. ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR FREEWAY ACCIDENT MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO SWITCH LANES OR PULL ONTO FREEWAY ONRAMP. CAR BEEN INTO DEALERSHIP 3 OR MORE TIMES FOR SAME COMPLAINTS. SINCE CAR THROWS NO CODES AND DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON THEIR TEST DRIVES, DEALER JUST KEEPS HANDING THE JEEP BACK TO ME AND SAYING NO ISSUE WITH JEEP. MY JEEP HAS ALSO STALLED UNDER HARD BRAKING ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION(S) WITH NO SATISFACTION FROM DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. CHRYSLER ALSO CONTACTED AND OPENED CASE FILE. THEY WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE ANY WORK TO BE DONE TO THE JEEP EITHER. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED PROPERLY, HAS 90K MILES CURRENTLY AND A LIFETIME WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER WHICH SEEMS WORTHLESS AS CHRYSLER WON'T PICK UP A SCREWDRIVER TO LOOK FOR PROBLEM IF THE JEEP DOESN'T THROW A CODE. ABSOLUTELY NUTS. *TR

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
WHILE I AM DRIVING MY JEEP WILL BUCK AND SHUT DOWN. I THEN HAD TO MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE CARS ARE GOING 65MPH OR GREATER AND MY SPEED IS SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. I HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND PLACE THE CAR IN PARK BEFORE IT WOULD START. THE FIRST FEW TIMES I TRIED WHILE IN NEUTRAL AND MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD JUST CONTINUE TO CLICK AND KEEP CLICKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A DAY NOW AND MY ROUTE TO WORK IS 95% HIGHWAY. IT IS SCARY THAT SOMEONE MIGHT HIT ME AND CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL JEEPS AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR THE JEEP GOING INTO NEUTRAL BUT NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAJOR ISSUE ABOUT THE CAR BUCKING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I NOTICED MY JEEP HAD ITS IGNITION SWITCH CHANGED OUT SOME TIME AGO ALSO. I WONDER IF HE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE HE TRADED. I HAVE NO OTHER CAR TO DRIVE OR I WOULD AND I HAVE SPENT OVER $500 TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. PLEASE START INVESTIGATING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

2009 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY AND AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND GET ON THE SHOULDER. I PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK UNDER IT, BUT THERE WERE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT AND I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS WAS A VERY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

VEHICLE SUFFERS LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, ATTEMPTING TO PASS. ROUTINELY HAPPENS AFTER TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT CONSISTENT SPEED BUT HAS HAPPENED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO OR OFF INTERSTATE. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN OCCASIONS WHEN VEHICLE APPEARED TO BACKFIRE DISCHARGING PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE. DIAGNOSTICS AT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT SHOW ANY PROBLEMS BUT WHEN A COMPUTER WAS HOOKED UP TO THE VEHICLE, IT CAPTURED UNEXPLAINABLE READINGS THAT ASTOUNDED THE MECHANICS. DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED TWO MAP SENSORS AND THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR

2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
MY PARENTS PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON JULY 11, 2008 IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD TO PICK UP SOME FOOD WITH MY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT SISTER IN LAW. AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT ME PRESSING ON THE GAS AND I LOST CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE HIT APPROXIMATELY 3-4 PARKED CARS, I LANDED IN THE TRUNK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, ON TOP OF IT. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE VEHICLES PARKED, I DON'T THINK THE JEEP WOULD HAVE STOPPED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT BADLY AND THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT EVEN DEPLOYED. THIS INCIDENT HAS REALLY AFFECTED ME AND THE WAY I DRIVE. I DO NOT EVEN LIKE TO BE A PASSENGER IN JEEP VEHICLES ANYMORE. IN JANUARY, 2010 MY MOTHER DROPPED HER CAR OFF AT A GARAGE TO HAVE IT PARKED. SHE WAS CALLED FROM THE GARAGE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED IN REVERSE AND THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE GARAGE. JEEP CHEROKEE'S ARE EXTREMELY FAULTY, ALWAYS IN THE DEALERSHIP WITH SOME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE CAN LOSE THEIR LIVES IF THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT RECALLED. *TR
