2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.

Risk. If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.

All of the inside door handles have broken under normal circumstances. It's almost impossible to open the doors and that to me could become a safety concern for a number of reasons. Especially if involved in an accident. Thank you for your attention to this complaint. God bless.

While operating vehicle, driver's side seat belt frequently disconnects without warning.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 116,000, and after taking the vehicle to a certified mechanic, the Carfax report indicated that the actual mileage was 167,000. The contact had not reported the odometer fraud to another agency.

Vehicle will all of a sudden shut off with out warning while driving. It has shut off while in motion going about 25miles per hour . I hurry and put it in park and restart it. It has restarted every time. Sometime the lights on the dash will flash for a moment but has only done that 2 times out of the 10 that it has shut off while driving

Driver's side seat belt will not buckle unless button is pushed on the buckle

Something is wrong with both front driver and passenger seat belt buckle. When attempting to fasten the seat belt, something in the buckle prevents from clicking in the belt unless you press the button down. The seat belt sign stays on, raising safety concerns while operating the vehicle.

Seat belt on driver's side will not latch unless release button is pressed.

Transmission not changing gears. Transmission control module issue

I am experiencing so many problems with my jeep. It shift out of gear then start shutting down. Lights appear all across the dash board. At times, I have difficulty in shifting gear.The clutch slip and I get this burning smell. Then engine light comes on. It slow to move after shifting it into the forward gear. Sometimes it doesn't move when I shift it into the forward gear. Then when it does, it start bucking and kicking while driving. It slows down even when you press the gas pedal. Lastly, I have major problem with my a/c. It runs cool for a second and then completely shut off.

I bought at an auction thinking it was a decent condition

On this vehicle both front eat seatbelt receivers are faulty. This was not caused by an accident or excessive wear of the seatbelts. When you push the seatbelt into the receiver, it will not accept the seatbelt without first pushing down on the seatbelt button. Additionally, the vehicle does not recognize when the seatbelts are in use and the light on the dash stays on regardless. This issue started some time ago, however, more recently (past 3 weeks) the airbag light started coming on intermittently. I took the vehicle to a shop (not a dealer) and they diagnosed the airbag light as being caused by the driver's side seatbelt retractor spring malfunction. They were unable to repair and directed me to a dealer. Upon contacting the dealer they are only offering replacement of the seatbelts faulty seatbelts as customers expense. I have contacted Dodge customer service and asked what assistance they my provide. That issues is currently open under case number 89679478.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH and attempting to merge into traffic the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights illuminated; however, the vehicle coasted to a stop and all the electrical power had failed. The contact turned the ignition to the off position and waited before restarting the vehicle and the vehicle returned to normal functionality. The contact stated that the electrical failure and the vehicle stalling were intermittent at first, but have since become a recurring failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the braking system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the stalling and electrical failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V438000 (Electrical System). The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

The door handle cups are disintegrating and handles are breaking off. I seen this is a safety issue many owners of jeeps like mine having same issues I haven't owned it a year, it's in pristine condition otherwise with only 91,000 original miles You can't get out from the inside in case of emergency bith front & one rear are currently broken & u can't even locate replacement door panels as discontinued there is a repair that is available but why should I pay for what obviously is manufacturer issue I will file a class action lawsuit along with others if not addressed & Jeep/Chrysler can give me way more than the car is even worth. I don't want my grandchildren & I to die because we can't get out in fire or flood. I bought the car used at 84,000 miles and would never have thought to check door handle cups until a pieces of one fell out Probably why he sold it to me with such low miles

The ignition I believe lost connection with the key fob. Multiple times while driving the vehicle will randomly just die. An when trying to start sometimes it does nothing unless you push key in a certain way.

While driving on the highway the entire car suddenly shut off, on three separate occasions. All the lights lit up on the dashboard then the car would not accelerate. I turned it off when I reached the shoulder, waited about a minute then turned the car on again. I am grateful my daughter and I are still alive. I've had it in the repair shop for a month. They replaced the brake system and dealt with grounding issues but, they cannot figure out why it keeps happening. This is a very serious issue and I see that others have complained about it. Yes, the car is old and has over 175,000 miles on it but I see that this is a common problem so it should be addressed.

Driving down the road my head lights with flicker on and off and its making the lights inside the jeep go on and off as well reported this awhile ago as well due to the face that tis is not safe while going down the road sometimes it will shut off on its own while driving and then it will come right back in like nothing happened

If vehicle sits for more then 8 hours you can drive it - but once the vehicle has been turned off Vehicle will not turn on for more then 5-10 seconds and will just turn off. Sometimes it says invalid key when it’s the primary key and not spares. Acts as if it has kill switch. Problem keeps happening constantly

Car is currently parked: I own a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado which Jeep claims has no recalls yet there (3) all of which are happening to my vehicle. NHTSA 07V434000, 13V175000 and 14V438000. My car is very well maintained I have reached out to Jeep and claim my truck was not recalled yet my TRUCK is listed as having (6) recalls all of which are issues the truck is currently having. I have computer codes to prove it. I understand my truck have 150,000 miles and is 16 almost 17 years old however it was bought as an investment that Jeep seems to selectively correct issues only when they are threatened to be sued. This is totally ridiculous. There are multiple complaints from other owners. These things should have been recalled years ago. My vehicle has never been modified and we should not have to be responsible for recalls that are selectively being fixed when there are over 6000 complaints. Thank you

Driver seatbelt unlatches after secured. Several times i’ve had to make a sudden stop and my seatbelt comes undone . The airbag light did come on prior. I’m not sure if that warning light relates to seatbelt as well. I plan on taking it into the dealership to find out why the light is on. This is my sons car however I borrowed it for a few days and discovered this. He is a new driver And still learning about different mechanical issues that arise.

I can't buckle either front seatbelts. I bought the Jeep new and it started this recently. It started with the front passenger belt first.

The vehicle's gauges will turn off while driving randomly. The speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge will all zero out for unspecified amounts of time. Sometimes 10 seconds, other times until the vehicle is started back up. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion. So, is very dangerous. Sometimes it causes the car to completely shut off and come back on. While shut off, the car sounds like it is struggling to continue its forward progress. This happens occasionally. Once the car corrects itself, the check engine light appears. After starting the car 2-3 times, the misfire corrects itself. I did a previous report related to the air bag light is on, but not sure if it is related with the same electrical problem.

There wasn’t an accident while driving my vehicle (thank god). My key stopped working for my ignition. I had an ignition recall on my vehicle (as to what the dealership told me). My vehicle has now been with the dealership since around Christmas maybe even a little bit before that. They did my ignition recall as to what was wrong with the vehicle. So they say.. it was towed in because it would not turn over.. they gave me a new key and put in a “new ignition” and still would not turn over. The dealership said my key would not flash over with the computer? Also, stating I needed a new skim module. Which they stated that Chrysler discontinued that part. I was not offered a rental.. which is fine I guess.. I’m a single mother of two kids. It has now been about four months about. I have never had in my life had the problems that I do now. My job is about to fire me, completely. The problems that I have had getting my children to and from school and doctor appointments, etc. I’m really at a loss for words. My vehicle had no problem starting before the ignition - key - issue. I really don’t know what else to do.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at 65 MPH, there was a sound of wind coming from the sunroof. The contact stated that as he opened the sunshade guard, the sunroof glass detached from the vehicle. The contact veered to the side of the road to check that the sunroof glass had not struck any other vehicles. The contact then continued to drive the vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

Air bags light in the dashboard is on without any accident. Air bags are original, seems to be in good conditions or without any physical damage on the exterior. Call my attention the recalls for the Air bags light in others Jeep Grand Cherokee from others years.

Jeep cuts out in middle of driving it says engine misfire on 3 . Driving down road will almost died or not run in traffic im lucky I havent had wreck yet to scared to drive it have seen all over the interent how bad it is mechanics cant seem to fix even jeeps own mechanics

While driving all dashboard and exterior lighting goes off and engine and brakes seem to be impacted. Possibly an ignition switch failure.

The Jeep dealer replaced my ignition switch that was part of the 2014 ignition switch recall. My Jeep continues to lose power after successfully turning on. It will turn on for a less than one minute, all the lights on the dash board will turn on, and the engine will have sudden loss of power. It can take up to an hour to get it to turn back on without it losing power again. If driven after it turn on without waiting at least 2 minutes, the car will suddenly lose power while in drive. This has been happening on an almost daily basis since 2019, which resulted in it being parked in the driveway for 6 months for fear it would turn off while driving on the freeway.

Recently we drove our 2006 grand Cherokee overland and and smelled a burning smell did not know where it was coming from upon further investigation we noticed a small hole behind the passenger side rear seat it there was a smoldering hole that had appeared not sure what this is from there is no electrical equipment in this area could it be from the malfunctioning of the Heat shield causing this problem

The vehicle when it driven for a while it does a slight kick and gets hesitant when you step on gas pedal. I notice when recently bought the lights on the dashboard all lit up. I took to Werner where I bought car but see attached. They sold during winter time , during cold weather it DOES NOT manifest hesitancy. Have to turn off so computer regulates or reboots and is good then. If day is hot it happens more frequent. Winter time have no problem. If stopped in stop sign or light and go have to be gentle on gas pedal to avoid again hesitancy or laziness and drivers behind me probably don’t understand why I take my time stepping on gas eventually drivers start passing me. Within a minute or 2 then it’s ok, I can step on it. Bought car during winter in cold weather no problem it’s great. Summer came and started noticing the laziness and hesitancy. On highway sometimes have issues doesn’t go beyond 40

The ignition key switch does not work properly sometime I cannot even start the vehicle and sometimes going down the road the vehicle just cuts off with no warning whatsoever , I just got the vehicle and was not told by the dealership that the vehicle had this problem, had I known I wouldn't have bought it,, are there any recalls on this vehicle about this problem ? It needs to be fixed its very unsafe , Thank you

Maybe hose radiator to the ac vent under the passenger cabin. My son got a 2nd degree burn on the top of his foot.the problem is not fixed.it was inspected by the local police and fire chief.there was no warning at all..

MUST PRESS RED BUTTON TO GET DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT TO LATCH. SEAT BELT CHIME STAYS ON.

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT WILL LIGHT UP AND SAY IT IS IN EVERY SINGLE GEAR AND RUNS IN A VERY HIGH GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF THAT GEAR

MY JEEP WILL NOT GO OVER 30 TO 35 MPH WITHOUT REACHING 3000 RPMS IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS IT IS STUCK I BELIEVE IN SECOND GEAR

DURING ROUTINE VISITS TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD SUPERMARKET, I'VE NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE RPM METER WAS GOING UP AND DOWN AT A STAND-STILL. NOW THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTENANCE REGULARLY AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES BEFORE I'VE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, SPARK PLUGS, PCV VALVE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER, A/C COMPRESSOR EVEN REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE TRUCK ALSO SEEMS TO LACK POWER EITHER THAT BEING AN OLD SOFTWARE THAT IT IS USING OR THE OVERALL DRIVETRAIN IS JUST ABYSMAL. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A LOUD THUD THAT COMES FROM DIRECTLY UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN ENGAGING P R N & D. EITHER THE BUSHINGS ARE WORN OR THE DRIVESHAFT IS WORN. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MULTI POINT CHECKED AT A LOCAL CDJ DEALERSHIP AND IT PASSED. ALSO THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED ON A RECALL. GOING AT LOW RPMS, I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN GOING FROM 15-30 MPH THERE SEEMS TO BE A DELAY IN TRAVEL AS THE TRUCK WILL SEEM TO BE LAGGING OR WANTS TO SLOW DOWN WHEN MY FOOT ISN'T ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN IN MOTION, GOING AROUND 60-80 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A MODERATE SHAKE AS IN IT VIBRATES FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE INTO THE CABIN AREA. IT WILL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON A ROLLERCOASTER AND THE VEHICLE IS JUST RUMBLING DOWN THE ROAD. IT FEELS SAFE AT TIMES, BUT WHEN THE 'SERVICE 4WD' LIGHT APPEARS IT BECOMES ALMOST FRIGHTENING TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AS IT REQUIRES MORE ATTENTION THEN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE ENCOUNTERED. ALSO GOING BACK TO THE LAG, YOU'LL HEAR A CHAIN-LIKE SOUND AS IF THE DIFFERENTI

WHEN DRIVING THE DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON HEATER STOPS WORKING MAKING IT UNSAFE

WHEN THE LIGHTING BOLT CAME ON MY CAR WENT LIMP IT ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY

I OWN A USED 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELTS ARE NOT LATCHING UNLESS I PRESS DOWN ON THE RED BUTTON. THE RED SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AND THE AUDIBLE CHIMES CONTINUOUSLY AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE MANUAL DOES DESCRIBE A METHOD IN WHICH YOU CAN DISABLE THE SEATBELT INDICATOR CHIME. HOWEVER, TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS YOU MUST BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SEATBELT IN THE BUCKLED POSITION, WHICH THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO DETECT AS THE SEATBELTS ARE FAULTY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CHIME IS TO SNIP THE SEAT BELT SENSOR AND GROUND WIRES COMING FROM THE VEHICLES COMPUTER UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS AND SPLICE THEM TOGETHER. THIS WILL GROUND OUT THE SENSOR BUT IT ALSO CAUSES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. SO, YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN EITHER HAVING AIRBAGS AND A NONSTOP SEATBELT INDICATOR CHIME, OR NO CHIME AND NO AIRBAGS. THIS IS TROUBLESOME.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE JEEP COMPLETELY DIES. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP INSPECTED I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND THE JEEP COMPLETELY DIES, NO STEERING OR BRAKES. WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL IT WILL RESTART AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP INSPECTED AND THERE ARE NO CODES OR ANYTHING TO FIND SPECIFICALLY. THE OTHER ISSUE I AM HAVING IS THAT WHEN I AM DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE DASH LIGHTS, AIR, AND RADIO GO OUT AND FLICKER. YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SPEED AND THE GAUGES GO BIZERK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY TESTIMONIALS WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ONE WOMEN WAS EVEN GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND HERS DIED AND SHE LOST STEERING AND ENDED UP GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT OK PEOPLE! WE NEED TO HOLD CHRYSLER/DODGE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE BUILDING OF THE CAR. INSURANCE COMPANIES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. AND MOST.... A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE FILED IF THERE ALREADY HASN'T BEEN. YOU DON'T JUST MAKE VEHICLES AND WHEN IT HAS PROBLEMS TO THIS EXTENT CONTINUE ALLOWING PEOPLE WITH FAMILIES TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLES WITH NO PINPOINT ISSUE AVAILABLE TO FIX. FAMILIES ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING WHAT "COULD" BE WRONG AND STIL

SEAT BELT BUCKLE WON'T LATCH PROPERLY. SEAT BELT CHIME DOES NOT STOP WHEN SEATBELT IS LATCHED. THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PASSENGER MUST DEPRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON SEATBELT, THEN INSERT THE BUCKLE. CHIME WILL NOT STOP WHILE DRIVING.

THE PCM IS NOT COMMUNICATING BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S MAKING THE TRANSMISSION JUMP, LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, WARNING SAYING TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP (CAN COME ON EVEN WHEN YOU JUST START DRIVING), CODE P1603-PCM INTERNAL DUAL PORT RAM, COMMUNICATION FAILURE. THE RPM'S HAVE RAMPED UP AND DOWN WHILE AT A STOP, LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, AND CAN EVEN TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. EVENTUALLY THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD. REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY HAVE BEEN REPLACED 8/16/20. EVENTUALLY IF THE ECM IS NOT REPLACED THEN IT'LL KILL THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP STARTED AROUND 60,000 MILES. THIS ISSUE HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE OVERTIME, BECAME MORE FREQUENT, AND MORE DANGEROUS. I'VE READ OF LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE'S BEEN NO RECALLS. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I GOT IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON JULY 11 IN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT . I WAS AT A RED LIGHT MAKING A LEFT AS SOON AS IT TURN GREEN I WENT INTO MOTION LOST CONTROL MAKING A WIDE LEFT TURN AND WENT INTO THE SIDE WALK. I HIT A CEMENT TRASH CAN AND A CEMENT WALL AS WELL NONE OF MY AIR BAGS CAME OUT . BOTH INSURANCE AND THE BODY SHOP WHERE THE JEEP IS NOW STATED THAT IT WAS ODD THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T COME OUT . THEY STATED THAT THE HIT WAS BIG AND THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE CAME OUT . I HIT FRONT ON MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED BUMPER, LIGHTS , GRILL .I HIT MY FACE IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING MY LIP TO BUST OPEN AND I HIT MY HEAD AS WELL IN THE TOP LEFT SIDE HANDLE. MY INSURANCE NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO FRAME DAMAGE .I DIDN'T GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE MAX CAPACITY SO I'VE BEEN TAKING OVER THE COUNTER PILLS FOR MY BACK , HEAD AND SHOULDER PAIN I ALSO BEEN SEEN A NATURALIST FOR MY MUSCLE SPASMS.

WHILE DRIVING ALL INSTRUMENTATION, GAUGES, AND WARNING LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF AS IF YOU ARE STARTING THE VEHICLE UP. DURING THIS ELECTRICAL 'FIT' THE HEATER FAN STOPS, ALL BELLS AND WHISTLES ALSO CLICK AND CHIME. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING DRIVEWAY, I ROLLED TO THE CURB, PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT OFF KEY THEN RESTARTED. NO ISSUES FOR WEEKS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME UNDER POWER AT SPEED ON HIGHWAY LOST ALL LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS, BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN. SOMETIMES THE ELECTRICAL FIT SELF-CORRECTS, OTHER TIMES YOU MUST SHUT OFF AND RESTART TO CLEAR ISSUE. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT ON EACH OCCASION THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE. ON ONE TRIP THEY BLAMED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND REPLACED IT AS PART OF RECALL, BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. NEXT VISIT THEY BLAMED THE AFTERMARKET REMOTE STARTER WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE VEHICLE SINCE BOUGHT. BUT TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY, I BYPASSED THE REMOTE STARTER FOR MONTHS AND ISSUE STILL HAPPENED. HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY SO I SEARCHED ON-LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED. ONE REPORT POINTED ME HERE TO FIND MANY SIMILAR OFFICIAL REPORTS SO ADDING MINE HERE. DANGEROUS WHEN ON HIGHWAY AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT LEAVE YOU WITHOUT POWER. FRUSTRATING TO SEE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUE AND JEEP/CHRYSLER DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH - ALL MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE CAR LOSS ALL POWER AND TURNED ITSELF OFF. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE CAR TO SHOULDER. PUT BACK IN PARK AND 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DROVE THE REST OF THE TRIP (10 MILES) WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! THANKFUL THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

HAVE HAS TO REPLACE WATER PUMP 4 TIMES FOR LEAKING. REPLACED 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS. TRANSMISSION AND SLIPPED AND CHIRPED SINCE I BOUGHT IT. NOTICED METAL SHAVING IN MY OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2405 S TELEGRAPH RD, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI 48302 (248) 334-3600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THERE WAS TO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN VEHICLE. THE THIRD AND FOURTH SOLENOID SLIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,006.

THE VEHICLE'S GAUGES WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TACHOMETER, FUEL GAUGE WILL ALL ZERO OUT FOR UNSPECIFIED AMOUNTS OF TIME. SOMETIMES 10 SECONDS, OTHER TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS STARTED BACK UP. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT CAUSES THE CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND COME BACK ON. WHILE SHUT OFF, THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO CONTINUE ITS FORWARD PROGRESS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE THOUSAND MILES (2-3 MONTHS APART). ONCE THE CAR CORRECTS ITSELF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. AFTER STARTING THE CAR 2-3 TIMES, THE MISFIRE CORRECTS ITSELF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS OFF.

MY VEHICLE CUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING SOME DAY'S ON THE HIGHWAY AND HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKEN SO I CAN'T GET OUT OF TRUCK WITHOUT PUTTING WINDOW DOWN AND OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE LIFT GATE GLASS COMES OPEN ON IT OWN AND IT SPEED AND RPM GOES UP ON IT OWN WITH THE CAR CRANKED AND NOT BEING DRIVEN

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ISSUE FOR YEARS NOW. AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT WAS REPLACED AT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE IN THE LINK ATTACHED. UP UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, I LIVED WITH IT. NOW THE ISSUE HAS TURNED DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND TURN. WHEN THE BRAKES SEEMED COMPROMISED, I TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR REPAIR BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I PICKED IT UP LAST WEEK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP AND TODAY IT WAS THE POWER STEERING THAT WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE USUAL DASH PANEL FUNCTION GOING OUT.
