2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Vehicle speed control Problems

“Since september 2017, my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been in the repair shop four times due to the vehicle not starting. The alternator and battery was checked once per month up until december, but each time I was informed that both parts were in good condition based on the diagnostics. However, after each repair visit the vehicle would not start after a few days. …”

“While backing up a moderately steep gravel driveway in 4 low range I applied the brake and shifted the vehicle from reverse (r) to drive (d) and the engine immediately went to almost full throttle for 2-3 seconds and even though I was pressing on the brake as hard as possible the car lurched forward and hit a bank of snow. This is the only time this has happened so far but I'm very aware now every time I shift.”

“While accelerating to merge onto the highway, the check engine light came on and I could not accelerate above approximately 45 MPH or 3000 rpms. I let off the gas thinking the Jeep would slow, but it didn't slow down. I was able to decelerate by braking (obviously). However, I was still unable to go faster than approximately 45 MPH or 3000 rpms. I took it into the shop twice before because the check engine light came on, and I was told the oil pump was stuck on low (?) this has been an ongoing issue for the past four months. …”

“Went to activate cruise control using the buttons on the steering wheel. Would not activate even after repeated attempts. Took it to dealer who exclaimed recall but after checking, he said the recall doesn't apply to my vehicle. Then found out other options do not work either. Plan on taking to a different dealer to have rechecked. This defect happens whether moving or not.I became aware of this while on hwy 45 going from milwaukee to hartford, wis but showed it to the russ darrow dealer upon my return while stationary in his shop.”

“For the past few weeks, my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been stalling while driving. The first time it happened, I was in a line of traffic, had just come a up a hill, I pressed the gas pedal, my car bucked, and then my car stalled . Thankfully, we kept coasting, because, like I said, we were in a long line of traffic going 50 MPH on a major road. I pulled over, shut my car off, turned it back on, and was able to drive us the two miles to get back home. I no longer feel safe driving my two children in my Grand Cherokee, therefore my husband has been driving my car and I've been driving his. …”
