2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Driver assistance Problems

On 10/21/21 myself and my child (rear passenger in booster safety seat) were in a solo vehicle accident that resulted in our vehicle hitting an embankment before rolling 3x landing on the wheels again in the right position on the same side of vehicle we originally had impact. We were less than 1 mile from our home, headed to school, there was no unsafe conditions, and I don't have any memory of the morning or accident due to severe injury and brain injury, but there's no reason or logical reason for me to be driving in the manner or at the speeds that I was. I passed a car in front of me on a very rural road right as we came upon the almost figure 8 curves on a road I drive everyday. The people I passed and many witnesses including my small child stated that I was gaining more speed as we came to the sharp curves, I crashed at approximately 65-70mph on a 30mph road, there were no brake marks or any sign of an attempt to slow down on my part, but I have too wonder because I am not sure anything that would have made me want to drive that recklessly, especially when I had my child in the vehicle. My child was asked what was happening before we wrecked and she said she heard a pop sound? And I said "oh [XXX]", that was the last thing that happened. We rolled 3x with not one airbag deploying, and the way that the jeep is caved in, I am very much interested in this model being looked over for structural flaws, pictures will be provided.

UNKNOWN ISSUE : I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUTUBE AND PEOPLE CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE? YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD FINE AND THEN HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SPEED. *YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING DUE TO THE SHAKING! OTHER ISSUE IS THE CRUISE CONTROLLER KICKS ON AND THE RPM SPIKES TO RED ZONNNNE THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE IT IS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON!!!

"TAKATA RECALL" MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACE ONCE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, DUE THE SEAT BECOMING EXTREMELY "WOBBLY" AND BEING BROKEN FROM THE BEASE FRAME AND FRAME UNDER SEAT. I WAS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN THE SEAT FIRST BECAME SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE, HAD I UNFORNATUNATELY BEEN STRUCK FROM THE REAR, I WOULD'VE BEEN VIOLENTLY THROWN FORWARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WJ, YET I FOUND NOTHING ON THIS SITE. IT COSTS ME $600, WHICH IS A LOT FOR A DISABLED VETERAN. BUT MY SAFETY COMES FIRST. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS

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 JEEPS 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.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A POWER LOSS EXCEPT FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY SPEED AND LOST POWER STEERING.

IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START RANDOMLY AND REQUIRES A FEW MINUTES WAIT TIME BEFORE A SUCCESSFUL START. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE . SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I STARTED TO HAVE STALLING ISSUES. HOT OR COLD, DRY OR WET, FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY OR LAST, IT DIDN'T MATTER. THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, RECRANK IT AND PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE JUST TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, OTHERWISE IT DRIFTS OUT OF CONTROL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYDAY. IT'S DANGEROUS BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE TO DRIVE TO GET TO WORK AND FROM THE INTERNET A LOT OF OTHER JEEP USERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT. *TR

(RELATING TO THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT ONLY) MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS WAITING AT A TRAFFIC STOP, (I WAS DRIVING) WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MY ENTIRE SEAT INCLUDING MYSELF SWUNG BACK. BECAUSE OF THE BACKWARD MOMENTUM, IT CAUSES ME TO ABRUPTLY PRESS FURTHER ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL ON THE SIDE TO INSPECT THE SEAT. I FOUND THAT THE TWO FRONT BRACKETS UNDER THE SEAT HAD BROKEN OFF. SINCE I HAD ADJUSTABLE POWER SEAT, I LOWER THE SEAT TO ALIGN THE BROKEN BRACKETS TO WEDGE UNDER THE BAR CAUSING THE SEAT TO STABILIZE OR AT LEAST HOLD IN A SEMI-SOLID POSITION. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ARGUED THAT THIS IS AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT WHERE I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE SEAT BRACKETS WOULD BREAK OFF AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY FOR A JEEP, THIS VEHICLE IS MEANT TO BE DRIVEN ON AND OFF ROAD. AGAIN, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

IT WAS RACING AS I WAS BRAKING AND IT WOULD STOP NOT UNTIL IT HIT THE PORCH STEP. IT WAS HORRIBLE, THIS CAR HAS NEVER LAUNCHED LIKE A ROCKET. IT WAS LIKE IT MAGICALLY ACCELERATED. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR YEARS AND KEEP IT MAINTAINED. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ABOUT THIS, WHY DID I NOT GET A CARD. I AM GLAD I OR ANYBODY DID NOT GET HURT. JEEP IS IN SHOP. *TR

JEEP HAS TWO RECALLS ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR MONTHS. I RECEIVED A NOTICE RECALL M35/NHTSA WARNING THAT AIRBAGS MIGHT DEPLOY ON THEIR OWN. SO FAR, JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. THEY SENT ME A FRIGHTENING NOTICE AND THEN, NOTHING. AUTO MANUFACTURERERS NEED TO BE REQUIRED TO FIX DEFECTS IN A TIMELY FASHION. I KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL THAT OCCURRED EARLIER THIS SUMMER, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN A NOTICE ABOUT IT. SO TWO SAFETY ISSUES AND SO FAR, NO REPAIR. SHOULD I EVEN BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE? *TR
