COMMUNICATIONS - HORN ASSEMBLY

	Most of the time the horn will not sound. you have to pound on it many many times for it to sound. by that time the emergency is past. jeep has said it is the same on all 2009 jeeps. *tr
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

	Jeep cherokees stall while being driven....they cut off without any warning...the reason they cut off while in motion is due a wiring harness design flaw, but jeep is keeping this matter a secret and they deny they have a problem throughout the country...someone or some agency needs to investigate this matter in order to see how serious and widespread this problem is, surf the internet auto sites regarding all the jeep cherokees that stall out while being driven. i do not want to see on the news that a driver was killed when his or her cherokee stalled causing a massive wreck and deaths....that is why i am reporting this matter

	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. ive 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 on u.s. highway 270 in arkansas this date, my 2009 jeep grand cherokee experienced sudden unintended acceleration. i was pressing slightly on the accelerator pedal while going up a hill when the engine went into a wide open throttle condition. i was able to maintain control of the vehicle and turned-off the ignition, allowing the vehicle to coast down to approximately 45 mph. upon turning the ignition back to on the vehicle again experienced sua and accelerated quickly to 60+ mph. i again turned the ignition switch to the off position and allowed the vehicle to coast back down. upon turning the ignition back to on, the engine went back into a wide open throttle condition again. after four tries (turning ignition off, then on, the engine rpm returned to a normal operating condition and i was able to continue with my trip. there was no floor mat interference with the accelerator pedal. the speed control system was not activated. i am a pilot with 500 hours of flight time and recent annual check ride qualification/training to handle emergency situations. had my wife or the average driver been operating the car, there would likely have been a serious accident. the vehicle simply went berserk.
TIRES - PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
01/01/2011
	I was writing to you to complain about tpms sensors that are required on vehicles these days. as a fast lube operator, we are experiencing more and more tpms sensors breaking apart when just trying to get the cap off to air up a customers tire. we have also had instances where the sensor broke as soon as we put the air chuck on the valve stem to air up the tire. as you can imagine, when this happens, the customer expects us to pay for the replacement of the sensor because it wasn't broken when they got there. something needs to change. it might force us to quit checking peoples tire pressure which is why they were invented to begin with (the whole firestone-ford explorer saga). these sensor need to be made out of a different material or removed from vehicles all together.

	Tl- the contact owns a 2010 jeep cherokee (n/a). the contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the front driver side tire went flat. the contact added air to the tire and was unable to do so because the valve chord was missing and had seeped into the tire. the dealer was notified and offered to repair the failure at no cost to the contact. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 28,000 and the current mileage was 28,300. kmj
