2007 grand cherokee overland 3.0l diesel. For the past year or so the lights on the dash will all come on similar to when the car is first started. Recently the speedometer and tach will shut off as well. If this were a gas engine the engine would probably also stall. Numerous times at the dealer no change. I believe this related to the 2008 grand cherokee recall.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 35 MPH the engine stalled without warning. Within seconds, the vehicle would restart without driver intent. The dealer replaced the ignition switch, the power-train control module, and the electronic control module; yet, the failure persisted. The contact voluntarily surrendered the vehicle to the manufacturer. He was concerned that the vehicle would be resold since it could potentially cause a crash to occur. The failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage was unknown.
In august of 2009 my wife experienced her jeep cherokee die out in the middle of traffic. I met her at the scene. The car started immediately and was drivable with no subsequent occurrences that day. We took it to jack phalen dodge in countryside, il for service to see if they could determine the cause. On august 31 we picked up the vehicle and it checked out completely, they were unable to duplicate the concern. Twice since august we experienced the same concern, the car died out in traffic. Both times we were able to start the car without any issues and continue. On saturday, march 6 we drove to downtown chicago. On this day we initial drove over 20 miles to get into the city, however once we were there the car began to die. This time we experienced it dying out at least 10 times. Once, on I-55 with traffic moving at expressway speeds. Having lost confidence that we would be able to continue safely we called for a tow. We took it back to jack phalen for review. We picked up the car on monday, march 8. Again we were told that nothing was wrong mechanically with the auto. However, they noted that there was a "star case for loss of throttle response #k34511542" which responded to "software updates". They installed 5 software updates. We received no guarantee that this would fix the issue nor would they guarantee that future occurrences would be covered under our warranty, which expires in april 2010. We are obviously concerned that dated software could potentially result in a car losing all power in traffic and the dangers that would pose. I have filed a complaint with chrysler. This obviously seems like it could potentially present a very dangerous situation.
I own a 2007 jeep grand cherokee v6 2wd and other owners across the us (thousands of them) with years ranging 2005-2007 report problems with the electronic shift module. This goes out in the middle of driving (sometimes on the highway) and will cause the vehicle to stall out in the middle of the road without warning. I have had mine replaced twice now and have only owned my jeep for 1 1/2 years (bought it brand new). This happened in march 2009 and again january 2010.
I have submitted a complaint before but the problem continues and has gotten worse. My jeep loses all electrical power and shuts down and restarts itself while driving, occasionally doesn't accelerate past second gear and other times accelerates very slowly, numerous times dealership told me nothing was wrong, finally they replaced clockspring and motherboard but problem began recurring only days later. Only now my jeep is additionally at times acting like it wants to shut down but instead is just faltering shaking the whole vehicle violently accompanied by the struggling to accelerate.
While driving down the highway at 65 with the headlights on all of my dash lights lit up and there was no power for a few seconds. This is the first time it has happened since purchasing this vehicle. I have no been able to take my jeep into the shop since I was already at work. I contacted the dealer and they said they have had complaints like this and that they would not be able to read the fault.
On five occasions all of dash lights came on and went off while I was driving, two of these times the engine stalled and restarted itself. Took vehicle to dealership and was told no problem was found.
Numerous electrical issues. The most dangerous have been the prnd lighting up and vehicle not going over 1st or 2nd gear while driving. This has happened to me 7 times now, 4 of which have tried to be diagnosed by the dealer without success, they just replaced the gear shifter twice. The 3rd time I had taken a photo of this and gave it to the dealer when they told me 'nothing was wrong' according to their diagnostics. Photo proved otherwise. Also the vehicle has shut itself off twice while I was driving on a busy road. The windows also get stuck and will not work. Have to operate one window to make the other one work. The battery failed and 'transmission over temp" error happened at the same time. Manufacturer's service agent said it was a false readout due to battery failure but they did fix something on the transmission. I am filing for a second lemon law arbitration hearing in florida. It is a very dangerous vehicle with these issues. Incident date on this form is only the last date of occurrence since only one option. This has been a problem since first purchasing this 'new' vehicle.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The dealer stated that the ignition switch was the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired under warranty in 2007. In 2009, when the contact attempted to start the vehicle, it would not turn on. In addition, all of the instrument panel indicators illuminated and would not dim. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the battery was low and no other failures could be found. Through online research, the contact has found complaints regarding this same issue. The failure mileage was 31,000 and current mileage was 32,000. Updated 3/12/09 *cn updated 03/16/09.
While driving the car stalls out. At speeds 5-40 MPH and starts right back up. I take to the dealer 17 times for the same problem . Chrysler corp told it is not a lemon. What can to do with this car.
I was driving home from a trip and was two hours from home. I stopped at a fruit stand and when I got back in the vehicle it would not start despite it clearly not being a battery problem. The car was towed to the dealer. This occurred on a saturday. On monday when they inspected the vehicle it started with no problem. They ran a computer diagnostic check and found no faults. I was told to drive the vehicle until it "acted up again". Twelve days later it would not start again. I had it towed to the dealer who determined that the starter motor needed to be replaced. I find it amazing that I needed to wait until the car broke down again in order to determine what wrong with the vehicle. Clearly there were issues and simply running a computer test was not sufficient.
My 2007 jeep grand cherokee continues to stall (total loss of all electrical) when driving. Generally this happens when I am coasting. I have taken my jeep to the dealership twice after repeatedly having this happen, but the dealership cannot get the problem to duplicate itself. I see now this stalling problem is happening on other model jeeps, something the dealership did not bother to mention. I am very concerned the problem is going to lead to an accident.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. The contact noticed water entering the vehicle through the sunroof. The water entered the driver's side of the instrument panel and dampened the front floor of the vehicle. The failure caused the interment panel components (radio), as well as the driver and passenger side windows to not work properly for days at a time. The contact discovered this failure approximately 2-3 weeks after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle has been to the dealer more than twelve times for this issue. The dealer finally concluded that nothing was wrong with the vehicle and it was designed to work in that manner. There was no remedy available. The contact has a video and pictures available. The failure mileage was unknown.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee 4x4. While driving at any speed, the vehicle shuts down completely and has to be restarted. The vehicle has been to the dealer 4 times and they cannot duplicate the failure. The current mileage was 8,976 and failure mileage was 6,879. Updated 12/07/07.
The day after I bought the brand new 2007 jeep grand cherokee diesel, I unlocked the doors with the key fob, opened a couple of the doors and loaded my luggage, then I did the key sequence on the keyfob (lock+panic) to turn off the beep when you lock the car. After all this I tried to start it (correct starting procedure - wait for glow light to go out) and the starter cranked the engine with no firing at all. I repeat and wait 5 times over about 5 minutes, it failed to start each time. Finally after I have waited about 2 more minutes, I tried again and it fired right up like it is supposed to. I am concerned the car could fail to start again. Updated 01-16-08.
In may 2007 we started having problems with the A/C and blower motor on our vehicle. I conducted research and found through tech advisory the blower control module were the problem and were being replaced. I disconnected the blower control module and could see the unit had melted around the wire harness plug. I did exactly as the tech advisory recommended and replaced the blower control module and wire harness plug. Less than 70 days the exact same problem has occurred again. I pulled the blower control module out and could see the new module had once again melted around the replaced plug. I called the dealership and was told they would warranty the part and I just needed to bring the original invoice and bad melted blower control module in and they would give me a new one. I did that last night and when I was at the dealership they looked at the melted blower control module and told me because I did not replace the entire wire harness they would not replace the melted module. I inquired as to the cost to replace the entire wire harness as it required pulling out the entire dash to simply unplug the old harness and plug the new one in. I was told 8 hours of labor and cost of parts for the new harness and blower control module which was estimated at $700.00. The parts themselves are less than $200.00. When I replaced the original part I did it exactly as the tech advisory told me so which was dated sometime in may 2007. In addition to the part melting it has sank the top edge of the carpet in the passenger side floor board. I view this as an extreme safety hazard and could actually case a fire in the vehicle. The dealership advised no warranty recalls have been issued for this issue either. I think chrysler should re-examine how many of these blower control modules they have replaced and the risk they are putting the public at by not recalling them. Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the horn on the vehicle will only operate when pressed very hard. The dealer stated that they cannot make any adjustments due to the airbag. The current mileage is 3,000 and failure mileage was 5.
Position of ignition is dangerous: I have turned the vehicle off when driving by bumping it with my knee. This has happened 3 times in the first 400 miles of owning this vehicle. Nm
