2010 Grand Cherokee Sluggish Climbing Up Hills
Over the course of a day or two, my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee essentially lost the majority of its go power. Whenever I try to climb a hill, it loses speed until eventually it's at a crawl, even if I press all the way down on the accelerator.
I have an oil leak on the front seal but I don't lose that much oil. My transmission isn't making any weird sounds but if I downshift to 2nd or 1st (it's a 3.7 auto) then the engine / tranny gets loud and it still doesn't accelerate any quicker.
The oil doesn't smell like rotten eggs. I checked the dipstick and it's clean and doesn't smell burnt. The tranny fluid looks fine as does the radiator fluid.
Thoughts? Ideas?

A clogged catalytic converter could also be an issue.
Do you have any upper engine noises? The 3.7 is notorious for rocker arm issues (oiling issues and sludge).
I would certainly have the engine checked out by a mechanic, sooner than later, especially if your engine is over the 75,000 mile mark.
