2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Problems

“When the red light turned green, I try to proceed across the intersection when the car just died. The radio continued to play but I had no power steering. I managed to pull over and turn on my flashers. Meanwhile the radio continued to play. I put the car in park and try to start the car again and it did indeed start. If I had been driving on i75 going 70mph and the car stalled I would be in huge trouble. The goodyear mechanic could not find the problem.”

“I was driving the other day and all the sudden I hit a bump and the key fob falls out of the ignition cutting the engine completely off. So I was coasting with no engine or power. Luckily I put it in to neutral and it started back up. This could have been very dangerous. Also my key will not release when I am trying to turn the car off so I have to leave it on sometimes and it has killed my battery. Most of the time it will release after a clicking noise I can turn it to the off position and it will release. It has cost me two batteries and a new key”

“I was driving on the highway and the vehicle pulled away as in driving itself. My only control was the brakes. It was scary thank god no one got hurt. Its not the first time. I've brought this to the attention of the dealer and they told me nothing is wrong. This has happened to me 4 diff times. When I put the car on park the RPM revs up to 5000 RPM I have to immediately shut the car off. This is a safety concern and needs to be looked into immediately.”

“While driving, the ignition switch goes into accessory and the engine shuts off..Jeep has no power steering or power to control the vehicle. This scared the h out of my wife yesterday while driving in traffic across a bridge going to work. She was traveling aprox. 45 MPH across a straight bridge. This same thing happened to mysely last year while on the pa turnpike in traffic. I put the flashers on and shifted into neutral and restarted the Jeep without much serious problems. But now a second time !!! I don't want anybody to get hurt because of this”

“Have owned used 2009 Jeep grd.chrke. For 10 months 2 months in to owning noticed at times vehicle would loose power. Pressing gas pedal did nothing. Had to pull over shut Jeep off, wait a minute then start Jeep back up. This worked and the problem went away. But over the months it became more frequent. I took it back to dealer and he could not find anything wrong. No codes from engine. I have had the necessary maintenance done on the Jeep. This week the problem began on friday and continues on. My Jeep will not go over 25 MPH. Taking it to authorized dealer and Jeep repair on monday. …”
