Once again as i was driving my vehicle shut down (jerked real hard) and i lost all driving capability etc power steering, speed control..... I was driving on the freeway when my jeep shut down it was during morning rush hour traffic. It was hard for me to glide over to the shoulder when everyone around you is going 60 mph and you have no power steering. When i was able to get to the shoulder i placed the jeep in…

Started with traction control light flashing, then it slowed vehicle felt like brakes were on, gave it more gas and got no speed increase, pressed on the brake and then it seemed to surge and speed up on its own. This was unexpected acceleration &could have lost control. After this! It went back to normal driving. Next day took a 110 mile trip traveling 70 mph on highway no issues until i arrived at destination…

I was driving 65 miles per hour on the expressway, when suddenly, my jeep began to decelerate until it reached about 40 miles per hour, even though i maintained constant pressure on the accelerator pedal. It felt like i had no control over the speed of the vehicle. Traffic was light so i coasted, and pressed the pedal a little harder, until eventually, the suv lurched and then started to accelerate. About 3 minutes…

This is a continuing issue. The speed will suddenly decrease to 30 miles per hour without any action on drivers part. This is dangerous, especially on busy roads. We were told it was the front control module but after reading reviews it doesn't solve the problem. Chrysler should be held responsible to identify the problem, then issue a recall. They are not interested in doing anything. We bailed them out? *tr

The vehicle will stall out when you are trying to accelerate, even with the gas pedal to the floor the rpms will shoot up but the vehicle will not move forward. If you stop and put the car in neutral it will sometimes fix itself but not always and this is not a good option to resort to in the middle of an intersection. This vehicle will also downshift on its own while you are driving at a high speed slowing your car…

My wife was driving our vehicle down the road and not even 2 miles the vehicle would not let her go faster than 30 mph and the vehicle would not shift out of gear. The check engine light came on and we took it to get an obii scan. The code that was prompted was an esm malfunction or transmission speed sensor. I am having so much trouble finding a speed sensor that is available and high priced. The esm is not hardly…

Jeep looses power, will not accelerate over 30 mph. This has not happen on a highway yet (luckily) only in-town driving. No error codes present in dtc report or from a diagnostic that cost $90.00 something needs to be done about this before an accident results in a fatality. There seems to me many instances like this on these boards. This is the first investment of a 'real' vehicle that i've had. To pay money for…

My wife was driving and just about to get onto the interstate and with no warning, she couldn't accelerate past 25-30mph. Luckily she was able to pull to the side of the road quickly without an issue and turned the car off, waited a minute and started the jeep up again and was then able to accelerate. When talking to the dealer, they have never heard of this problem before. When jeep was checked at a local dealer,…

For a couple years my jeep grand cherokee has experienced several episodes of ignition shut off. I spoke with my local dealer and they said it was not an issue with jeep, only some dodge models. I paid to have a 2nd computerized key made at the dealership, as dodge was saying their issue was related to the driver having other keys on ignition key ring. This way i had a single ignition key. Still experienced the…

I purchased this vehicle on december 14, 2011. About three weeks later in a parking lot, we noticed the vehicle would not accelerate even though the accelerator pedal was pushed virtually all the way down. A few days later the engine warning light came on. Then the lack of acceleration happened on the interstate. My mechanic cleared the engine warning light but it came back on a few days later. I did a lot of…

Shortly after changing the spark plugs in my wife's 2007 grand cherokee overland the vehicle would stall on deceleration. I thought it might be an isolated incident, but the stalling continued frequently. The engine completely shuts down and the vehicle must be stopped or put in neutral while coasting to be restarted. After conducting some internet research i found this to be a common problem with the 2007 grand…

Upon acceleration from stop vehicle will hesitate and lose power. This constitutes a hazard to vehicle and any approaching vehicles during a turn. Inspection indicates that transmission electronic control module is at fault along with a possible transmission sensor failure. The check engine light will come on. Both of these conditions ( power and check engine ) are intermittent, indicating that the module is faulty.…

It has happened at least 4 times since i purchased the car brand new. Today at 60,000 mi it happened twice. A few months ago i tried to merge onto the freeway and lost power which was very dangerous and i had to turn on the hazard light and…
