2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle speed control problems

“DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH - ALL MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE CAR LOSS ALL POWER AND TURNED ITSELF OFF. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE CAR TO SHOULDER. PUT BACK IN PARK AND 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DROVE THE REST OF THE TRIP (10 MILES) WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! THANKFUL THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED.”

“I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5.7 HEMI WITH APPROX. 118,000 MILES. DRIVING ABOUT 10MPH IN A PARKING LOT, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE FOR A STOP SIGN. WHEN I WENT TO GO I GOT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION THEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED UP AND I LOST ALL PROPULSION POWER. I HAD ROLL TO A STOP, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN START UP AGAIN TO GET THINGS WORKING CORRECTLY WHILE IN DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 OTHER TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR PROPULSION.”

“SPEED CONTROL ACCELERATION. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE RETURNING FROM VACATION, CRUISE WAS SET AT 70MPH. WHEN APPROACHING A SLOWER VEHICLE, CRUISE WAS DEACTIVATED AND REACTIVATED WHEN PASS WAS COMPLETED. WHEN REACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 YEARS AGO AND EVER SINCE I TEST THE CRUISE CONTROL THE PROBLEM OF OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION PERSISTS. THE OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION CAN BE STOPPED BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES OR MANUALLY TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE IS. I CANNOT EVEN DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL WITHOUT EFFECTING OTHER ELECTRONICS. I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THEY WOULD UNKNOWING USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.”

“WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. SKID CONTROL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ESP. BAS. SHIFT INDICATOR INTERMITTENT RADIO PLOP. SPEED CONTROL CONTROL INOP”

“"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I CLICK THE CRUISE CONTROL IT SPEEDS UP UNCONTROLLABLY AND I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO DISCONNECT IT. IT DOES NOT SET A CONTROL AT ALL AND CONTINUES TO CLIMB IN SPEED.”

“THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD JERK AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, IT EVEN POWERED DOWN COMPLETELY ON THE FREEWAY AFTER REACHING A HIGH OF 65PMH. THE CAR WOULD MAKE STRANGE GRINDING NOISES AND LOSE POWER STEERING ALSO. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED FINALLY AFTER 2 VISITS AS A FAULTY SHIFTER MODULE/CONTROL MODULE OR THE CARS "COMPUTER".”
