When I am driving, all of the lights on my dash come on. Seatbelt, check engine, brakes, low tire pressure etc. The stay on for a couple of seconds. Then EVERYTHING turns off for about half a second. Gas gauge, rpm, speedometer all go down to zero, which is how it is when I turn the jeep off. While I'm still driving and going 45 mph! Then every thing turns back on. It happened about 5 months ago once. Then today it happened about 15 times as I drove home from my mother's house, which is about 7-9 miles from my house.
2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee electrical complaints
Page 2 of 23: complaints 11 to 40 of 658, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving the jeep on the interstate at 65 MPH lost all power was able to get it to the side of the road and after a minute it restarted it has done it numerous times sometimes sitting at a traffic light sometimes driving 25 MPH through town there is no warning no dash signs of anything wrong vehicle just shut off lose all power terrifying took it to a jeep dealer couldn't duplicate the problem also the radio plays and the dash display does not light up my power windows will go up and down by themselves and end up halfway. I only been able to drive the car short distances because of the fear of death lose breaking and steering. Have seen other complaints with the same issues on the internet why is this vehicle allowed to be on the road
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 .
Engine turns off while driving.it has happened several times before , intermittently. February 3rd, 2021, january 17th, 2021, and several times before.
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.
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.
The jeep has electrical stuff happening sporadically and does not start but with power but after 3 to 6 attempts starts right up. I turn key all power and bells go off and it makes a humming noise and 1 click noise dash says ' transmission over temp' the jeep is cold so not over temperature. I've seen a lot of post about recall and also about ignition switch or module. I've only owned for 2 years and dealer said car had no recalls when I purchased. This happens stationary and also after driving about 20 minutes to destination and when I went to leave it took several times before starting. This has been going on for last 3 days but few messages randomly popped in information center few times before this had at dealer on computer no codes said it was okay
I had gotten up to take a ride to the store and the day before I didn't see any smoke. But before I made it to my stop sign there was smoke rolling at my driver door so I rushed back to the house and couldn't even open my door. By this time flames where coming out the driver door and I tried putting it out after I called the fire department with a bucket of water because the water hose wouldn't reach and the fire department wouldn't be in a rush. So my whole [xxx] car caught on fire a week ago from a electric problem. Now I'm screwed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *js

Purchased vehicle used on july 3 2020 at seth lee auto sales in tavares fl. . Paid $1500 cash down payment and incurred a loan as well. Told the vehicle was fine.

Service technician just called advising the front control module has to be replaced with total being $1096.41. The part is currently on back order.
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.

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.
The dash, interior lights, speed odometer, AC/heater are going out while driving. It blinks off for a few seconds and comes back on for a few seconds repeatedly while driving. My ignition was replaced due to the previous recall. When the dash comes back on three lights are lit up: esp bas, check engine and the stability control.

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.
The fuse box under hood is labeled incorrectly and on the cover states spare fuses in cavity 29 and 30. However, it is acctually the airbags which is why it is in a yellow safety holder and also the original manual that comes with the jeep states that it is the airbag. However directly on the box under the hood it says cavity 29 and 30 are spares which are causing people to pull them out and use them as spares elsewhere unaware that they are in danger
Intermittent stalling issue. Initially the vehicle starts and runs fine. After stopping or extended driving duration the vehicle will random start stalling and check engine light flashes and dings. This will last for a few minutes sometimes and other times the entire trip. The last few times this has happened we were nearly rear ended and pulled over until it was somewhat drive able. I am terrified to drive it at this time for fear it will cause an accident. This has been an ongoing issue for a few years and has recently gotten worse. We've taken the vehicle to the jeep dealership several times and have had numerous parts replaced but nothing has resolved the problem. The last trip to the dealer they said they could not replicate the described issue. With the use of a scope and code review, my husband has taken to replacing smaller, simple parts in hopes of a simple solution....spark plugs, 02 sensors and catalytic converters. Nothing has helped. Please help resolve this issue. Seeing all the other similar complaints, how many does it take to start an investigation or recall? It's a shame an accident it what it may take to attract attention to this issue.
When vehicle goes over a small or large bump, a dashboard light cluster indicates to service 4wd system and is accompanied by ABS, traction control, and esp bas warning lights. Abs is noticeably disabled when this light cluster appears. The indications usually last a few minutes before going away. This has been occurring for approximately the last 18,000 miles. When brought up at the dealership during routine maintenance, I am told they can find nothing wrong with the vehicle. On this last occasion, I lost full braking authority and was luckily able to gradually slow down and pull over to the freeway shoulder while applying the emergency brake. When the vehicle was shut off and turned back on the indications went away and braking was restored. Obviously, this creates a very dangerous situation.
All dashboard warning lights come on. Loss of electrical power. No headlights, no brake lights. Speedometer doesn't work, tachometer doesn't work, radio doesn't work. No power locks or windows. Anything electrical doesn't work. The battery is good. The vehicle runs. But it is unsafe. The vehicle is crap. Never buy a jeep! They are total crap
