I have a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This happened to me several time before, but the place that I used to go to closed down so I don't know who to turn to. I have a crimestopper remote starter. CS-511tx. When I hit the remote start button, my car turns on but turns off a few seconds later. I put the key in right after it, and my car cranks, but wont fully start. When I take the key out, it still cranks so I have to hit the brake for it to stop turning. This has happened to me before, and I just need to reprogram it. Can anyone talk me through reprogramming?
Sounds like it wasnt programed right to begin with.if the check engine light is on you could try reset or even if its not on just disconnect battery cable for about 10 to 20 mins then hook back up see if it resets system that way sometimes that works for program faults.if not and u have numerous problems with this you need a dealership to check this out it could be causing complications with the anti theft security.just try disconnecting battery first go from there

On an intermittent start problem like this you may be having a starter solenoid issue or your wire on the starter from the key switch may be loose. Or you may have a corroded battery cable or the safety neutral switch may be going bad. Is it a automatic? If it were it would be the clutch safety switch going out. So do the simple things first. Clean cables like the first guy said if that does not fix it locate the starter and if you have jumper cables the next time it does it put the positive lead of the jumper cable on the Positive battery terminal and the other touch to the starter wire with the key in the run position where the big wire on the starter is, if you here it spin it means the starter motor is ok if it don't it is bad or the connection on the starter is loose. Also a bad battery cable could cause this from the battery to the starter next put a small wire into the end of the positive jumper cable and touch the S terminal on the starter if you here a solid clung it means the solenoid is good. So check the connections on the starter and tighten the starter bolts as they may have worked loose and don't have a good ground. So if you want more as stance just post on my question and I will hell p more and if this is more informative please rate

I have the exact same problem - did you ever find out what was wrong?

My man I know your pain... I have the exact same problem happening to me now... same make, year and model... I called a mechanic buddy of mine and he said I might have a "flat point" on my starter and if so this might happen intermittently... he suggested a replacement of the starter... But I think the other suggestion is also quite valid so I going to have my friend do both...

What is the current status? I purchased a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee from CarMax in December, 2009. The first time it wouldn't start was the beginning of March. The dealership could not duplicate the issue. Happened again a month later, they said it was the wireless remote module and that was replaced. Couple months later, happened again. They said it was the key module. That was replaced. Friday night, happened again. I'm waiting for a tow truck Monday morning. Does anyone know the real underlying issue and the resolution?
