While stuck on ice in our driveway, my wife was concerned about backing down the driveway to retry getting to the house, she had the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee in park, I went to assist in backing down the driveway, she hopped over the console and hit the gearshift with her leg or foot the Jeep gearshift then went from park, into reverse without the brake being depressed as is the design, the Jeep rapidly went backwards the open door "scooping me toward the underside of the Jeep, I was able to roll away from the Jeep, my wife then got into the driver seat and put into park just before crashing into the wooded area along our driveway. A check of the interlock system showed it was and still is non working. This incident could have been met with tragic results had I not been able to roll away from the underside of the moving Jeep, and had my wife been unable to stop the Jeep when she did. As a result I have sustained pain to my lower back, and my wife to her cervical spine.

I recently purchased a newer model used vehicle that has started to present some serious concerns that the dealership where I purchased it cannot figure out the problem and discounts my complaint. My vehicle's motor acts as if is going to stall on take off from a stop position. I have attempted on 3 separate occasions to have the problem serviced by the dealership's service department; however, the dealership tells me they have no concerns with the vehicle. Although the problem is not presenting itself when I bring it to the dealership, it is happening more often now than in the beginning of the vehicle's purchase that I know the problem is escalating. I cannot figure out what "triggers" this event except that when it does happen, my two young children are in the vehicle. A new issue also has presented itself. On July 4, as we were traveling down a narrow road aligned by trees, the vehicle down shifted so hard it cause the vehicle to accelerate and forcibly jerk; however, we immediately regained control of the vehicle. My ABS, esp and bas lights are displayed and I have an appointment with the dealership to have this serviced for Tuesday, July 6, at which tme I will also ask them to perform another inspection/service my stalling motor issue as well as the new accelerating/jerking issue.

Three months after purchasing a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the vehicle seems to want to stall when shifting gears. Within 8 months it actually is stalling, at various speeds, and has done so at least 15 times in two years. Neither the dealership or Chrysler acknowledge the shifting problem and have no remedy for the stalling.

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalls at high speeds and intermittently while driving. Dealer unable to fix thus far ( has car for almost 30 days). In addition, same thing happened on my 2007 model and has happened to a number of people I know with Jeep Grand Cherokee. Internet is filed with reports of same events happening at random. Mine stalled at 65 mph - all electric, radio, flashers, everything just goes out. Very scary and very unsafe. Please evaluate.

Vehicle accelerated when put into reverse. Chrysler sent an "independant" inspector, but they will not share the report. In fact, Chrysler lied about conducting the inspection. They told me the inspector could not do an evaluation because the vehicle was "disassembled". the dealer tells me the inspector spent two hours with a service technician and test drove the vehicle. I always get suspicious when someone lies to me. This requires follow up to make sure they are not hiding an unsafe defect in their vehicle.

2008 Grand Cherokee 4X4 4.7L flexfuel stalling at various highway speeds. Throttle lagging, harsh up/down shifting, hesitation on torque demand, fuel mileage reduced by 20%. after the first two stalling occurrences, the dealership replaced the FCM (front control module) since the serial number of the installed one-337- matched the February 2008 recall, although Chrysler database VIN recall search came back empty??!! the third and fourth stalling events were followed up by the replacement of the PCM (powertrain control module) since a "soft fault"-"torque request denied" was found stored within the controller. However, after six hundred miles, a fifth stalling occurred. This time a hard fault related to the map sensor (intake manifold absolute pressure) was found. The replacement was scheduled in 48 hours. There were six dealership appointments(only two documented though ??!!) and it was invariably either "we have to order the part" or "there is nothing wrong we could point at". the almost new vehicle is not safe to be driven on public roads. Yet Chrysler never provided a temporary replacement until the safety hazard could be located and eliminated. After every attempt of solving the problem, the customer is sent away to try his (her) good luck with a vehicle which might be okay. I don't think this a professional approach for both Chrysler and the dealership servicing the vehicle. Guessing and safety does not belong within the same sentence !
