2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee: check engine light

Filed Apr 9, 2025 · Electrical, Lights · MI

When I'm driving down the road my car won't shut off. I have to pull over to the side of the road turn my key completely off and take it out put it back in and start it. It takes a couple of times to get it started as I have to move the key back and forth and then it will start. I did a check engine light check. And it is saying something about a Anti-Theft ignition problem. My headlights stay on all the time and blink when it is shut off.

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.

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.

Traveling on I 95 . Car engine light came on and car shifted into a gear that felt neutral. I put the hazard lights on and slowly moved over. Basically dove off exit in neutral. Engine off and restarted. Ok for a while then happened again. Garage said that part is back ordered which is alarming to me. Is this a frequent problem?

This is my second time in 10 years replacing the gear shift in the transmission in this vehicle.. The gear shift goes out every 5 years.. It starts with the engine light coming on then all the gears have the circle around all the gears . For example it likes like I'm in drive, reverse, park and neutral. When I'm parked. Then from there if I' have to stop or yield for and reason it's sometimes hesitante to move. Very scary
