NHTSA Complaint #10456358 — 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WILL BE GOING 70 MPH OR 15 TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THEN IT STALLS OUT AND WON'T ACCELERATE. I WILL PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT WILL CORRECT ITSELF MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE CONDUCTED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND REPLACED SOME ELECTRICAL WIRING AND IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. NOW JUST LAST FRIDAY (20 APRIL 2012), I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED BECAUSE THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 2.5 RPMS AND 10 MPH. LUCKILY THE CAR HEADING STRAIGHT FOR ME SLOWED DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR ON COMING 55 MPH TRAFFIC. I LOOKED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND AN UNGODLY AMOUNT OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER YESTERDAY (23 APRIL 2012) AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE. I WAS GETTING CODES U0404 AND U0103. IT COST $1051.50 TO FIX. I CHECKED ON-LINE AFTER, AND THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAID THAT THE JEEP MECHANICS WOULD RECOMMEND EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD JUST BREAK AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER. ONE MAN EVEN NOTED THAT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED OVER 1,000 OF THOSE IN HIS SHOP ALONE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! JEEP OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THIS IS GOING ON. *TR
