Sometimes when I put my vehicle in drive and start driving my vehicle will go into neutral forcing me to pull over, put it in park and turn it off and turn it back on in order for me to drive it again. This happens about twice a month.

What 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
Anytime I go 50+ MPH all I can hear is a roaring noise. We have replaced the whole rear end almost 3 weeks ago thinking maybe that was the problem turns out it not. We bought this car almost a year ago so we are unsure if any recalls on it have been taken care of.
The transfer case has not worked properly and the car lurches and stutters while driving. There was a recall involving the transfer case and the computer, but there has not been one for the transfer case itself, which I believe was compromised from due to the computer issue before it was fixed.
#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?????
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. While approaching a stop, the vehicle inadvertently shifted into neutral. The failure occurred intermittently and without warning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at any speed, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The vehicle was taken to tacoma dodge chrysler jeep ram (253‑475‑7300, located at 4101 s tacoma way, tacoma, wa 98409) where it was diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The alternator was replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where the egr valve was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. *tt consumer replaced my ignition switch.
Recall has been open for years regarding the ignition switch but chrysler never has the part. Further, this car has numerous reports of braking issues that are sporadic and it caused me to rear-end a vehicle on nov. 2, luckily at a very low rate of speed. I let my foot off the brake to inch forward and it would not engage again when I pressed it again moments later. Mechanic couldn't replicate the issue but that is typical for chrysler it seems.
Transfer case, suspension and ignition switch seems to be causing major issues after 105,000 miles and the "warranty" just ended just before all these issues started happening. When tried to start once the engine shuttered then turned off. Started up after that, but then it has issues wanting to accelerate and can feel the jeep struggling at times to switch gears or whatever the transfer case may assist in. Also have noticed the suspension has start to rock.
