I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4 USED AT 40,000 A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH. SHORTLY AFTER OWNING IT IT STARTED STALLING WHILE IN MOTION OR STOPPED IN GEAR SUCH AS A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN SITTING STILL, COASTING AND SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT LIGHT UP AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE OR JUST ACCELERATED FROM A COAST (SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE SLOWLY MOVING TRAFFIC), THEN I WOULD REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED. IF I WAS ON A HILL GOING UP THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF BACKWARDS. DIES TURNING INTO PARKING LOTS, ETC. I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE BRAKES STOPPED ME IF I APPLIED THEM. HOWEVER, IF I WAS IN THE FORWARD MOVING POSITION, I WOULD JUST THROW IT IN NEUTRAL AND RE-START THE ENGINE WITHOUT PROBLEM. THIS CONCERNED ME, BECAUSE I BUY MY VEHICLES USED, I DID NOT KNOW IF DIRTY INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY WAS CAUSING CARBON RESIDUE TO CLOG THE INJECTORS SO I HAD IT ALL CLEANED. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON THIS SITE AND SPOKE TO THE GUYS THAT DO MY SERVICE. THE RESEARCHED AND FOUND A NOTICE ABOUT SAFETY. I WENT TO JEEP WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS SUCH A NOTICE ABOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE BUT NO RECALL. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND 2 COMPUTER FLASH UPDATES WERE NEEDED. THIS FIXED MY PROBLEM, AT LEAST SINCE LATE NOVEMBER 2007. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 15-45 MPH, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,496 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 03-25-08 *BF UPDATED 03/25/08 *TR

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN WHEN STEPPING ON GAS. MOST OFTEN IN THE 1200-1500 RPM RANGE. VEHICLE TRIES TO STAY ON SAME GEAR AND IS NOT SHIFTING E.G. FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH. IF GAS PEDAL IS STEPPED ON ALL THE WAY, VEHICLE SHIFTS DOWN 2 GEARS, E.G. FROM 5TH TO 3RD, AND SPIKES UP TO 6000 RPM. THIS TAKES ABOUT 1.5. SECONDS, LEADING TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN CHANGING LANES, ENTERING A HIGHWAY, OR SPEEDING AWAY FROM CRITICAL SITUATIONS. ALREADY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SEVERE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. THE SPIKE IN RPM WILL LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WILL BLOW SOON. *TR

DUE TO AN INFORMATION ON A WWW PAGE OF CHRYSLER MY TWO CARS JEEP CHEROKEE GRAND HAVE BRAKES SYSTEM DEFECTS AND ONE OF THEM PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER SUPPLY LINE. ACCORDING TO THIS INFORMATION DEALER SHOULD REPAIR THIS FREE CHARGE. UNFORTUNATELY THE POLISH DEALER I SPOKE TO DENY TO DO THIS. WHAT COULD I DO WITH THIS SITUATION? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FAILED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. HE BELIEVED THAT THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY STOP. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THREE DEALERS APPROXIMATELY FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS REPLACED MOST RECENTLY, BUT THIS MAY NOT HAVE CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 02-25-08 *BF THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED A MALFUNCTION OF THE HEATED SEATS, FAN MOTOR AND BRAKING SYSTEM. UPDATED.

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 40,00 MILES. THE REAR DOOR SUPPORT STRUTS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD UP THE DOOR IN COLD WEATHER. THE DOOR CLOSES AND HAS STRUCK MY SPOUSE AND ME IN THE HEAD. IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN. *TR

DEALER CARL BURGER DODGE AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF A DEFECTIVE 4WD WARNING LIGHT (CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 21-014-06 REV A DATED NOV. 2, 2006), THAT WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE ON DECEMBER 12, 2007, THEY DEMANDED TO CHARGE ME $75.00 (WHICH I ACTUALLY PAID). I OBJECTED AND RAISED THE ISSUE WITH BOTH THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE SERVICE MANAGER. THEY CLAIMED BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS SLIGHTLY BEYOND 36,000 MILES (37,912 MILES TO BE EXACT), THEY HAD NO OBLIGATION TO DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THIS IS WRONG AS A MATTER OF LAW. *TR

TRANSMISSION WILL SPORADICALLY CHOOSE NOT TO ENGAGE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO FREE WHEEL. PROBLEM NOTED MAINLY AFTER INITIAL START WHEN LEFT OVERNIGHT AND WILL GO AWAY AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO WARM UP SUFFICIENTLY (3-5 MINUTES). *CN

THE UNIT WILL CUT OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE SITTING STOPPED. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK THE UNIT INTO THE C/D/J DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A FAULT CODE. SAID THAT I NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE 30K SERVICE. I REFUSED, UNLESS THEY PUT IN WRITING THAT THE SUCH SAID SERVICE WOULD STOP THE ENGINE FAILURE. THEY REFUSED AND I ADVISED THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THEY HEARD ABOUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY CALLED THE POLICE ON ME! JEEP....THE NEW NAME NEEDS TO BE "JOKE". *TR

WE BOUGHT AN 04' JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AT JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE OF WARWICK, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. WE TOOK IT DOWN FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS CAP. THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND HAD A HARD TIME STARTING. WE TRADED IT IN AT THE SAME PLACE 1 MONTH LATER FOR AN 06 JEEP WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. SHORTLY AFTER THIS PURCHASE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES. WE TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THAT NOISE. AFTER THAT THE BATTERY DIED AND THEY TOWED IT THERE AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. NOW WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP STALLING OUT WHEN WE ARE PARKED OR AT AN IDLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS CAME LOOSE FROM THE WELD BREAKING. NOW IT IS HITTING THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL AND IS CHIPPING PAINT. ALL FOUR DOORS ARE COMING AWAY FROM THE WELDS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL OF THE PASSENGERS. WE BROUGHT IT DOWN FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT THE DOORS AND THEY KEPT PUTTING US OF BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A LONER CAR, OR THAT THE MANAGER WAS NOT THERE, OR THAT THERE BODY SHOP WAS NOT AVAILABLE. NOW THEY SAY THAT WE NEVER BROUGHT IT DOWN TO SHOW THEM. EVERY TIME WE BROUGHT IT TO THEM THEY NEVER PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND MADE EXCUSES FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. THEY NEVER PUT IN THERE COMPUTER THAT WE CAME TO THEM, WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND DENY THAT WE HAD ANY. THE ONE TIME WHEN THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY WE PICKED IT UP WITH ALMOST 150 EXTRA MILES ON IT. WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE DEALERS SERVICE AND THE QUALI

PREVIOUS REFERENCE # 10190692 TODAY WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT APPROX 1:00 PM MY CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN UNCONTROLABLE AND THE STEERING JERKED ME TO THE LEFT WHICH CAUSED ME TO BE IN ANOTHER LANE AND I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. ALSO, ONCE AGAIN MY DASH LIGHTS WERE COMPLETELY OUT WHICH INLCUDED MY SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TEMP & FUEL - EVERYTHING WAS BLACK & I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS AND MY AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT BLOW ANY AIR AT ALL - THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THE RADIO AND MY POWER WINDOWS. ONCE AGAIN I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAME OUT AND TOWED MY VEHICLE TO BUCHANAN AUTO PARK. I'VE SINCE THEN SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE LOOKING INTO A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AND I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AND THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO TRY TO HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING APPROX 15 MILES AN HOUR IN LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC IN HAGERSTOWN, MD 21740. I EXPLAINED BEFORE THAT IF I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 50 + MPH I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE VERY WORSE AND MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS COULD BE INJURED. I REALLY THINK THAT THIS NEEDS CHECKED INTO. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND OTHRE INNOCENT DRIVERS.

I WAS EXITING A FREEWAY OFF RAMP AND HAD MY FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM UP THE INCLINED OFF RAMP WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND STEPPE D ON THE BRAKES TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED, ABOUT 30 MPH. I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, AND I COULD FEEL THE ANTILOCK BRAKES PUMPING, AND THE CAR WAS ONLY SLOWING SLIGHTLY. I THEN HAD TO VEER OVER FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE AND THEN RUN THE CAR INTO THE CURB IN ORDER TO SLOW IT DOWN AND AVOID OTHER CARS PARKED AT THE TOP OF THE OFF RAMP. AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE INTO THE CURB THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND CAME TO A STOP SEVERAL FEET LATER. AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT, I WAS LEFT STARING OVER THE SIDE OF A ROUGHLY 100 FOOT TALL OFF RAMP ONLY A FEW FEET FROM THE EDGE. THE RIM OF THE WHEEL WAS GOUGED BY THE CONCRETE CURB, AND THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE HAD A DEEP SCUFF ON IT. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THEY CHECKED THE CAR, WHICH WAS STILL ON ITS ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, AND SAID THAT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY W FIX IT. THEY DID MENTION THAT ONE OF THE MECHANICS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS WIFE'S CAR, THE SAME MODEL AS MINE, AND HER CAR WAS TOTALED. *AK IN SUMMARY, I THEY MANUFACTURER DID NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I REALLY HAVE NO OTHER RECOURSE BUT TO HOPE THAT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE HAPPENS AGAIN, SO THAT THEY CAN POSSIBLY REPLICATE IT A

I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE 2007 WRANGLER AND NITROS. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD LOSS OF ENGINE POWER SEVERAL TIMES, SIMILAR TO RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE. MOST TIMES IT WOULD NOT STALL, BUT IF AT SLOW SPEEDS OR AT A STOP THE ENGINE WOULD COMPLETELY QUIT. ONE TURN OF THE KEY WOULD START IT UP AGAIN. NOW THAT I SAW SIMILAR SYMPTOMS BEING RECALLED FOR ANOTHER JEEP I WANTED TO FILE A FORMAL NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE I OR ANOTHER PERSON ENDED UP STALLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND GETTING HURT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS WHEN I FIRST HAD A FULL STALL.*AK

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON 2 OCCASIONS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE INSTALLED AN "AUTO PILOT" CAMERA THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO TURN ON THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED 30 MINUTES AFTER I PICKED IT UP, AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE CAMERA CAUGHT THE PROBLEM. THE 2007 CHEROKEE HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES, THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER HAS HAD A RECALL ON THE BRAKES, AND THE 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS HAD A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. PLEASE HELP. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2006 GRAND CHROKEE. AFTER I REACHING 1,200 MILES THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER OR SURGE, ALMOST FEELING LIKE A MISS. THIS MAY HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, AND IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION, BUT ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 35-60 MPH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT WAS WORSE WHEN IT WAS CLOUDY AND COOL OR DAMP. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING THAT I KNEW TO GET THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THIS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OR DOWN THERE BEING TEST DRIVEN AND CODES TAKEN 8 TIMES. THEY TRY TO TELL ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. NO WAY!!!! THIS WAS EXTREMELY ANNOYING, REDUCED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND MY FAITH IN IT. THE DEALER, AND THE MANUFACTURER. , AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL FOR SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR. THE CAUSE WAS MOISTURE ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION FILL TUBE AND CAUSING THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO SHUDDER. ALSO, THERE WERE SOME ENGINE FIRES DUE TO THIS. I ASKED FOR A TRADE FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND BOTH REFUSED. SO NOW I AM ABOUT TO APPLY FOR LEMON LAW OR ARBITRATION, OR WHAT I AM ALLOWED BY LAW FOR BUYB ACK. I HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED OUR LOCAL MEDIA, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND BBB. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO!*AK

THIS HAPPENED EVERY FEW DAYS, WITHOUT WARNING, MOST RECENTLY AT SPEED OF 50 MPH, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO MANUALLY, WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY, STEERED OFF ROAD INTO FIELD TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF IT HAPPENED ON AN EXPRESSWAY DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE KILLED. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALWAYS STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, AND ASKED ME TO KEEP DRIVING UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THEN BRING THE CAR BACK IN. THIS COULD NOT GO ON! SOMEONE OR MANY PEOPLE WERE GOING TO BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP. *AK
