2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle speed control problems

“ENGINE STALLS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S AS IF I JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN IT STALLS, I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF. IT'S BECOMING A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN.”

“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”

“#1. V-8 THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES OUT OF CONTROLL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, NO CONSISTENTLY BUT INTERMITENTLY' APPEARS TO TRY ACCERATING TO 65 MP CRUISE CONTROL. MUST SLAM IT INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN CITY TRAFFIC, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. #2. TRANSMISSION OR POWERTRAIN IS SKIPPING LAGGING OR BUCKING ON ACCELERATION FROM STOPPED POSITION AND FROM NORMAL DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS, UNDER 65 MP. CAN THIS BE THE COMPUTER?????”

“MY 2007 JEEP G.CHEROKEE CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 55 MPH AND THEN DECIDED TO DIE. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND CANNOT INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TIMES WHILE HAVING MY SON THE BACK SEAT AND TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIES. ALSO DOESN'T START SOME DAYS SOME WILL. DEFIANTLY HAVE ELECTRICAL PROVEN LIKE IN THE RECALL. THEIR IS A FUEL RELAY RECALL THERE IS A MANY RECALLS FOR THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO MY JEEP AND IT'S BECOMING A HAZARD AND SCARY FOR ME TRAVELING WITH MY SON.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.”
