I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee that is taking all my money. At 90,000 miles the truck started surging at all speeds. I have replaced the spark plugs 2x, whole a/c system, transmission filter and fluid, fuel pump and filters, had a smoke test done looking for any possible vacuum or emission leak. I just don't understand how this is a common problem with Jeep and there is no recall for this. I read that someone has placed a sign in the window of there Jeep that reads (( lemon )). I get so angry when I keep getting screwed and there is nothing I can do about it. Well, I'm gonna put a lemon sign in my windows too............

I own a 2007 Jeep Liberty. On July 8, 2008 I was stopped at a stop light, when all of a sudden my car accelerated, crashing into the car in front of me, pushing her around the corner. I had both feet planted on the breaks and the car would not stop for about a half a block. I had the vehicle towed into Baxter, because I wa afraid to drive it. They told me that they had to reprogram the electronic throttle control. I have pulled articles off of the internet, where there are numerous stories about this happening. The lst article was December 2007, that states the NHTSA identified no indication of a safety defect trend that could cause unintended acceleration in these vehicles. I have not gone back to pick the car up yet, but I would like to know if if anything at all is being done against Jeep, and if they are looking into the problem. Can they guarantee me that this will not happen again, and maybe kill me or someone else. If someone could just let me know if the NHTSA is going to look into this again or is currently looking into it I would appreciate it.

Today was the last straw. My manager was almost killed by a jeep surge as we call them at the car wash i work at called PDQ. I am 18 years old and almost witnessed the death of a manager. She was pulling a jeep off of our track and because we keep the cars in neutral as they are washed, put it into drive as usual and was suprised by a sudden surge. She avoided cars in our 2nd lane of cars (we have three) and pulled to the 3rd lane surging out of control out the garage door, over a large curb with grass, into a busy road, across the curb across the street ending up in the parking lot (about 150 yards for the building) before getting it to stop. At PDQ we take strong action to make sure we are safe when it comes to jeeps. We must call over the intercom when one is in the building and turn on the hazard lights before driving. Only managers are allowed to drive. This was not the only PDQ incident. In another WI store earlier this winter, a girl pulled the jeep off of the track and quickly shot over to the intended 3rd lane smashing into the car in front of her, totalling it, pushing it through the glass door out to the parking lot totally both cars and nearly NEARLY killing a young woman by a hair. Imagine the number of young teens that must witness near DEATH and INJURY experiances. Horrible. Today was the day i decide i need to do something about this. Jeep and Highway control say nothing is wrong and that is COMPLETELY WRONG. If other models were crashing into walls at local car washes (even though some accidents/driver related do happen) were other than jeeps? i may not question it so heavily. this needs to stop. if anyone can help, please contact me.

I was completely stopped at a 4-way stop sign when my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee's engine revved/idled high & it lurched forward. I was practically standing on the brake pedal, but it continued to lurch forward a 2nd time & then a 3rd time until it hit the van in front of me. Since I am certain my foot was firmly and solidly on the brake pedal, I am also certain that I was not pushing the accelerator pedal simultaneously. Now I will have to deal with the ramifications of the accident, including paying for the damages to the van & my insurance premiums rising, even though I was not at fault -- my Jeep was!!! AGGGHHHH!!!
I hit the van in front of me causing damage to its tail gate/lift panel, as well as its bumper. My insurance premiums will rise, even though I did not make a mistake/driver error! Andrea of West Allis, WI February 2, 2008

I drove my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited to work, where I park in a parking structure. As I pulled into my space, I had my foot on the brake and my hand on the stick to put it in park. Suddenly the jeep accelerated and hit the cement wall in front of me hard enough to have it bounce back and hit again. I hit the brakes repeatedly and hard to no avail. It sounded as if I was in park with my foot on the accelerator. Then it finally stopped. 6200 dollars in damage later. The whole right front end was a smashed up gapping whole. It looked like I was in a head on collision. The kicker, the air bag never went off!!!! Fortunately, I was not injured, and neither was anyone else. I drive this vehichle on a daily basis with my 2 yr old son! I am seriously considering getting rid of this vehichle.
