Jeep accelerated without stepping on gas. Accelerator cable did not seem to operate smoothly, when applying, felt somewhat "rough/nothy" owner agreed to change as suggested. Cable changed total $477.39 in 5/2010.this time car was towed to Jeep dealer. C. stated Jeep accelerated on its own, towed in. Jan. 13,11 Jeep towed in to Jeep dealer for bucking and accelerating on its own, no issue was found. May 13,11 towed into Jeep dealer, changed several components and $1,074.68, never had a definite answer, and after each incident took its toll on my nerves, scared to death to drive my Jeep, which I purchased to make our family safe. Fast forward, 11/23/2015 this Jeep once again started accelerating and racing in park and with the hand brake up. My Jeep has 64, K and is taken care of, looks great. But, once again I cannot risk putting my family or myself in it to drive. I have found numerous stories like this and some a lot worse. My instincts were to just shut the engine off and I did all4 times over the years. I am now on a fixed income and would love to be happy and keep this Jeep grand cheroee but, I can no longer take this chance. I would love to know how many people must die or how many accidents have to happen before Chrysler wakes up and recalls, I'm guessing they don't really know what to fix. I also had problems with my tail lights and had repairs several time, when I got a ticket after it was already fixed a few times I had to pay. Failed NJ inspection 1 time due to what they called a wig wag, which Jeep are know for, who out there is on the consumers side, no one it appears. No recalls on this this but, they will get back to me on a passenger restraint module, maybe next year 2016, if we are lucky. All 4 times the vehicle was being driven and the only thing that worked was shutting off the engine using the key. My vehicle must be safe for grandchild.
I've had problems on and off with the power windows, door locks, interior lights and stereo system. The power windows/door locks do not work. Unless I turn the interior dimmer light switch to the off position, the lights stay on. When this is done, I cannot see the displays (I.e., speed, etc.). the stereo system will play and the cd player works; however, I cannot see the display at all --- channels, track #S, etc. All of these issues, except the stereo system, create driving hazards.
I have had issues with my idash lighting going so dim you can't see anything on it and when that happened my power windows stopped working it was like that for about a week then it just fixed its self now a year later and all my power windows don't work again. And the lighting inside the vehicle works one day and not the next. This has happened for about two years off and

My car keeps cutting off while driving. It has done this several times on highway, rural roads and main roads. It has caused me to almost have several wrecks. When the car cuts off, I lose all power. I have been stranded several times. I have had to walk back home or get someone to come get me if it was further away. I have had to use someone car because I am afraid it will do it and I will wreck my brother-in-law was killed in a similar accident. After a while the vehicle will start again, but does the same thing over and over again. It started off about 1 month after I purchased it, when I would just crank the car and the first time it would not crank but the 2nd time it would.

He also said there could be a recall on some vehicles of that model year.

My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was acting like the door was open (overhead computer warning driver door open and interior lights would not go out), but was visibly/physically closed. The windows, door locks and mirror controls were not working. Upon further investigation of the main wires coming in from the body of the Jeep into the door, (door jam/black boot) it was clear what the problem was. There was a black severed wire and a partial severed orange/white wire. There was no clear solution why this has happened. There has been multiple reports of this being a common problem with the wiring harness. This should be recalled as it is obviously a manufacturers defect and is costing people a lot of money to fix.
