Takata inflator.i purchased my jeep and after a few months i notice it kept getting stuck in 3rd. Wouldn't come out. Then the message "transmission over temp" would pop up. It would randomly just loose all power and cut off as i would be driving. I had it looked at. Checked the codes bc check engine light would pop up also. Multiple codes were in the history pertaining to the issue. I was going to get everything fixed until i was told to contact jeep first bc there might be some recalls that others were experiencing my same problem. I would of paid for it regardless to fix the problems. It had numerous recalls. Made an appointment to mckinney dodge in easley,sc. After fixing the recalls i have paperwork for a few months later was doing it again. I work in a service dept. So i asked one my techs if it was same problem as the recalls and did i need to call dealership back. They said yes. Called mckinney and they refused to set me an appointment and said the problems had nothing to do with the recalls they fixed. After having several tows and stranded and almost wrecking with my children in the car going down the highway and just dies, i'm beyond frustrated and no one can seem tell me how to fix. After reading several reviews and recall information, my issues are everything with my recalls. My airbag light go on and off also. They never touched that and it's also a recall. I need to know what i need to do bc i'm not waiting for an accident or death bc this vehicle. It's my only car and i've tried to pay myself and had recalls fixed and problem is still there. I've contacted a lawyer. I want it fixed or i want another vehicle.
After picking up my vehicle from my local jeep dealer on the afternoon of thursday aug 27th, where it had been for a week for service repairs, one of which was the removal of the console to repair the emergency brake, i noticed that the light on the dashboard showing air bag deactivated was illuminated.iwas out of town on vacation until this last friday sept. 4th, and i took it back to the dealer this morning, and they didfind a wire that was disconnected, but there was a sensor that had failed.they refuse to own up to the fact that they did something during the emergency break repair period that deactivated the air bags and told me the $480 repair to replace the seat sensor is my responsibility.until this problem is repaired, i cannot safely transport a passenger in that front seat, so i have at this time no choice but to have thisdealer make that repair.
Less then 30 days ago i purchased a used 2006 jeep cherokee laredo 4x2.the dealer said the airbag sensor just needed replaced no big deal.now i am experiencing the same thing as alot of older people.the driver's side seat belt started not latching unless i press down on the red button.so then the red seat belt indicator light won't go off and the audible chimes continuously and will not shut off while driving no matter what i do.moving the seat belt around to try and get the chime to stop as well as the audible chiming while driving makes it very annoying and distracting from the road.i need answers on why this should be at my cost when between the airbag and seat belt sensors are truly safety issue. Their is no warranty at 154457 miles.please advise on the airbag recall etc...the airbag light was on when purchased 7/18/17.the seat belt chiming and light started staying on 8/10/17.

The air bag indicator light in my car stays on and i was told my air bag bar in my steering wheel is broken. I was also told by a mechanic that if the air bag light is on then the air bags won't deploy in an accident. He also indicated that i may have a broken air bag bar in my steering wheel. This is of great concern as if i do get an accident and my airbags don't work then there may be injuries and possible fatalities.
Pulling away from stop sign my vehicle lost power (stalled out). The lights for park, reverse, neutral, and drive all came on at one time. Lost power for about 15 seconds then car starting moving again. This has happened a few times not just the one date listed here. This was the only time i was actually pulling out into traffic. Could have caused a major wreck. Sometimes it does it while driving down road and i have to pull over to turn car off. When i start it back again it runs fine for a while. Ever since this has been happening my airbag light and engine light have been coming on and off all the time. About a year ago, i had to have a speed sensor changed on the transmission cause the car would not shift through gears cost me around $800 because it had to be taken to a transmission service center. Are these problems all related? bought this car from a private seller (one owner) well taken care of. All maintenance was up to date when i purchased the car about 1 1\2 years ago. Is there any recalls on any of the problems i listed here?

Air bags did not deploy in crash . Impact on front of vehicle. Vehicle also rolled on side and right wheel and body assemble broke off car. Car was on freeway at 55mph at start of accident. Battery broke free of mount even though area around tray was not damaged
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.
Re: safety recall m35/nhtsa 12v-527i received the aforementioned recall notice 3 months ago. I have called the key west dealership 3 times to arrange to get the problem fixed only to be told that chrysler was still trying to resolve the technical issue.

If the keys in the ignition shake just slightly, all lights on dash flicker on/off, engine cuts out and comes back on.i've had a problem with this since i bought the vehicle in 12/08 and still happens. I can only have 1 car key in ignition so nothing happens but still does every so often.
Takata recall: i was in an accident with my 2006 grand cherokee. The accident was due to the ignition switch and the vehicle powering down while in drive, or in use. Injuries were suffered due to the airbag's none deployment. After taking the vehicle to the dealer and attempting to have two recalls replaced, i was told there presently was no available fix, or replacement for recall p41. The vehicle was serviced in 2015 at fitzpatrick's chrysler jeep (430 e main street, ansonia, ct 06401 (203) 734-3318) for recalls p41(ignition switch) & n23(powertrain transfer case electrical system). In january of 2012 with 37k on the vehicle there was the first of two accidents that relate to recall p41. This accident was due to unresponsive braking and steering, which was caused by the ignition switch moving from the on position to the off position while the vehicle was in drive, or in use. This accident happened when attempting to stop the vehicle (rte. 80 east haven, ct) i noticed the vehicle was unresponsive. I used both feet and hands to apply the breaks, while simultaneously wrapping both hands around the lower half of the steering wheel and pulling upward with my biceps to apply additional downward momentum to the break pedal, but still i could not stop the vehicle. Injuries were sustained and out pocket costs for this accident total over $7000 dollars. The second accident happened in 2016. Not realizing the vehicle was off while attempting to bring the vehicle to a full stop on the highway (rte.15 no haven, ct.), i had a collision. The force of the impact slammed my face into the steering wheel. I was dazed and confused, wondering, why hadn't the airbags deployed. This is the second incident i've had with this vehicle that was directly related to the ignition switch. And, in both accidents airbags were never deployed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Previous reference # 10190692today 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.
Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.). After a few minutes of blinking and going dark, everything begins to work again, but the check engine light comes on. This exact scenario has happened multiple times. Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year. In once instance, i was driving around the city going 10-15 mph and this scenario happened and the brakes were not working properly and the car was very hard to turn. Everytime i have brought the car to the dealer they try to pull a code and nothing is available for them. At this point i am fed up so i am officially reporting the issue. It is completely unsafe to be driving when this happens, especially when you are on the highway. Let's hope something is officially done before anyone gets hurt.
I received a recall letter in june 2013 from chrysler recall n23/nhtsa 13v-175 transfer case actuator. Stating software was not available just yet to fix. Then in august 2013 received a second recall notice explaining that the software is now available for the recall to be resolved. All i have to do is go to a chrysler/dodge/jeep dealership and have the software reprogram the final drive controller module.on august 13/2013 i had the recall serviced at johnson dodge dealership inbudd lake nj ( 481 rt 46 budd lake nj 07828). They did service my vehicle for said recall. The next day and everyday since i have a warning light on my dash stating""service 4wd system". I read the car manual and did some trouble shooting, but light still on. I tried to put vehicle into 4wd lo, as instructed by the car manual. Result, is doesn't go into 4wd lo, warning message still coming on. I made an appointment(august 22/2013) for the same dealer to inspect this issue because i do believe possibly something was either done incorrectly, or wrong software. End result from second visit to dealer is , my transfer case actuator needs replacing !! ($600 plus tax) . They will replace it, but i feel the two issues are related, and i should not have to pay the bill. The dealer reinspected all above components and stated the software is not working properly with the actuator? so end result is they want to replace the actuator. My original recall letter said i may have a fault in the actuator, but the secondletter stated for the new software to fix all. The dealer said thats all they can do! call chrysler and see what they say. Tried to call a second dealer, ( dover dodge in randolph & rockaway nj) and still waiting for a call back. I then called a 800# for chrysler a customer hot line (800-992-1997) given to me by dealer, those too, i'm waiting on a resolution. [xxx].

The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 45 mph, the abs and passenger side air bag light illuminated. The brake pedal became difficult to depress and required excessive force. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a previous recall on nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,645.
N23 recall was performed to keep transfer case from shifting into neutral caused by cracked circuit board. The "fix" to this was to flash the software to make it impossible for the jeep to shift into neutral and 4wd low. Now every vehicle that has had this recall done is unable to tow their vehicle behind a camper because the transfer case can not shift into neutral, and 4wd low is inoperable as well. Chrysler has claimed that the n23 recall has nothing to do with all of these vehicles losing 4wd low even though everyone that has had this recall done has lost neutral and 4 lo. This cheap fix has left thousands of people who spent a lot of money on these expensive vehicles without the best feature of the vehicle, 4 lo. Most people buy these jeeps because of their 4wd capability. Resale on a vehicle like this has gone right out the window with the loss of this feature. Http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/n23-recall-issue-no-4-low-1561787/ this site has an outstanding number of complaints about this problem and makes it impossible to deny that chrysler has neglected to take care of the issue.

Chrysler issued a n23 recall notice due to cracking circuit boards in the transfer case actuator (vehicle may inadvertently shift in to neutral). Prior to the application of this recall my vehicle was capable of engaging 4lo. Afterwards (immediately afterwards in the dealership parking lot) the transfer case would not shift. Each attempt would result in a "service 4xd system" and would trigger a c140f trouble code. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the recall flash to be the issue. From jeep forums i have found myself to be one of hundreds if not more that encountered this issue. This recall is in essence a software work-around for a hardware issue. This recall is obviously a cheap attempt at fixing a costly issue of replacing the defective actuators with new. As a consumer i expect the manufacturer to fix potentially dangerous issues (such as what n23 attempts to do). However, it is not acceptable in doing so to damage the vehicle further or render systems inoperable.

Vehicle will lose all inside power - dash lights & controls, a/c, etc, whether driving or just sitting idling.upon restart, it may or may not happen again.most times it will be ok but you never know when it will happen.if driving, the vehicle will need to stop.you lose all power when it happens.has happened while driving at 55 mph on a major road, also happened while pulling into my employer's parking lot.the ignition switch was replaced after a recall 2 or 3 years ago at my local dealership.my hunch is that it is still an issue with the ignition switch.it is not detected when tested on a computer as i have brought it in to a local mechanic and they could not identify why the vehicle was doing this.

The check engine (gas cap) warning light came on. Then i was backing out of our driveway, stopped to put garage door down andthe vehicle quit (while in reverse and it was idling).the vehicle started right up when i put it in park but then quit again approximately 2 hours later when i was pulling into a parking space.we took it into a dealership in nampa and they stated that they fixed the problem with the check engine light but they did not know why the vehicle quit.they informed us that there was a recall on the ignition switch and that could be the problem but parts to fix it were not available.i called chrysler and they told me parts may be available in september. I am afraid to drive the vehicle because we live in a remote mountain area and if the vehicle quits, i will not have power brakes or power steering when driving along the river on a very curvy, treacherous road.i cannot afford to leave the vehicle parked until parts are available at an apparently unknown date. Chrysler did suggest that i have the ignition replaced and they may or may not reimburse me.the dealership said the parts they currently have may or may not fix the problem.can you please tell me what you would suggest? what happens if the vehicle quits and there is an accident? is chrysler and/or the dealership liable for any injury and/or damages? thank you.

I was traveling to my daughters when the jeep suddenly veered to the left. Crossed center line, hit guard rail and rolled three times down the highway. Luckily no cars were coming. My front drivers side fire was wedged in the guard rail.i was upside down and managed to undo my seat belt and crawl out back broken window.the man behind me wrote a letter telling me how he was just following me and i just lost control, he's the one who called 911 and said he was checking for "survivors".this was a sunny june morning, nothing on the road. Its like the jeep had a mind of its own. After surgery on my shoulder and trying to get back to work, i was forced to go on disability. I wish i would have known about this recall years ago. My life has changed because of it. The jeep was a total loss of course.this accident happened about 10 miles west of iron river, mi on us-2. This whole thing has changed my life forever.

As i was driving home from work at 3am, all the lights on the dashboard lit up and went back to normal. This occurred 5 times within a 30 minute trip. At the same time the seat warmer turned off, my speakers were not working properly. Heat wasn't working properly. After the second time it happened i turned radio off, kept seat warmer off, and turned off heat but it happened again three times after that. In between these 5 incidents, there was one time thatall the lights on my instrument panel went off completely. The only thing that was illuminated was the gear i was in. It was a very scary experience especially when you are driving on a highway and cannot see your speed. All the lights flashed on went back to normal when i drove the car again the following 2 days. One time per day only. My car currently has a recall on my ignition but no part has yet been released in order to switch out the defected part. I am thinking maybe their is a correlation between the defected part and the electrical issues?

Mine is doing the same as the rest! and no help from a dealer or anyone! about a month and a half ago i was traveling in cruise at 70mph started to notice every crack in the hwy my headlights would flicker, figured one was going bad. 15 miles later my dash, radio, headlights, and cruise all shut off on me. In the blink of an eye they come back on (including all the warning lights), except for my cruise. Remembering the recall notice, the parts i can't get, and the fact i was a service writer for 8 years at a dealership, i realized my truck had shut off and turned back on (my key never moved). So as i drive on it starts doing it every 20 min or so. The next day on my way home it started doing it again. Now when i drive short distances in the cold (northern wi) it does not happen nearly as much, now longer distance with the heat blowing the whole way it happens regularly, i also notice if i take the key out of the ignition its very warm almost hot.. The last straw was this last weekend, i was making our yearly spring cabin run, traveling at around 35/40 mph on a gravel road my entire truck went dead, key was in the on position and i lost all power to everything , not wanting to lose control, i grabbed for the key ( again going back to the recall) and i literally turned the key from the run position to off to the run position and it restarted (doing this as i'm rolling down a gravel road with no power brakes or steering at 35/40mph). Also noted that it was not just me in the vehicle! i've read, watched videos on this, talked to other owner and now have been dealing with this first hand. After it turning off completely, this is way more dangerous than chrysler is admitting.my next step is putting a new "bad" switch in, if this one made it 80,000 miles why can't the next, however sadly it will be on my dime. Hope this helps and if you have this issue be very careful!

My pregnant wife has had this issue before with the car and we took it to the dealership without anyone being able to fix it. While driving between 15-60 mph the car completely shuts down.no power steering, brakes, or electrical.you have to throw it in neutral and start it back up.this has to be an electrical issue as other quirky things have been happening as well such as the headlights will flicker on and off and the volume and stations selectors on the steerwheel often do not work properly.this is an issue that jeep needs to identify and fix.very scary to be going 50-60 mph and lose control of your car going down the highway.over the past two days this has happened three times.i have done research online as well and there are plenty of other jeep owners that have this same issue.jeep needs to have a recall for this issue.i am shocked that this has not happened yet.

After purchasing this car pre-owned in 2008 we began having issues with the transmission shifting.after bringing back into dealership for diagnostic testing, they found nothing.this went on for a period of two years, with them even keeping the car over a period of time.still nothing on the diagnostics.throughout the years we would notice a strong downshift when coming to stops and a "chug" when shifting out of low gears.fast forward to 2018.the jeep finally quit shifting out of first gear...the rpms would race up and the car just wouldn't sift even when using shifter stick manually to the + or -.brought to local mechanic.did diagnostics.found shifter was broken and replaced and reset.a few days went by and it started happening again.mechanic said that rear wheel sensor had gone bad and was throwing of computer brain of car, so we had him replace that.all was great.husband takes car on short trip and while passing a car in the left lane on interstate 10 it once aging chugs down hard and he loses gears...has to pull over on side of interstate, shut off car and restart to get it to shift again.bottom line is there has to be a long standing issue with drive/power train & electrical/computer brain!!!we have kept this car in great working order, regularly changing fluids and maintenancing.there is no reason this care should be behaving in this manner @ 12 years old, regularly maintained unless there is an outstanding issue with 2006 jeeps.it has to be an overall problem and after reading many of the complaints we believe this warrants an investigation and defintely a recall!!!all of the above issues happened in both city street and highway situations and while the vehicle was in motion.

Like others vehicle has stalled while at low speeds. At random times, took to my mechanic and he never could duplicate the problem. Until, i took it there for an electrical problem and to check out the steering. While he was test driving the car,it stalled on him and still could never find the problem, my lights flicker on the inside, dash over head light all inside lights, at night when i have my lights on, till i turn them very low and still flickers but can't notice it as much, inside lights don't turn on at all when i try to switch them on as well. The air bag light has stayed and been on for a while, my mechanic ran a test on that as air bag is fine but light stays on. I know there where recalls so i called chrysler and they said my car does not qualify under any of the recalls. Now my abs and esp/bas, traction control light are on. At first they came on while i was driving when went to slow down my breaks rattled, the lights came on then went off. Now they have been on and won't turn off. And my cruise control stopped working as well same time. There seems to be nothing that comes up while running test and stuff. My car has 115756 miles on it and these problems keep happening. Also when i start it the car ideals rough and when i'm stopped at a light tried and replaced parts and still does it. I love my jeep and would like to have these problems found out and fix i'm almost done paying it off and want to keep it but it scares me that it's could stall any moment randomly.
While driving the 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited cuts off and i lose all power. I am able to restart after putting the vehicle in neutral. Luckily an accident has not occurred yet. This intermittently occurs and has happened 6 times since march 2014.
2006 jeep grand cherokee safety recall on ignition switch.*mwthe consumer requested reimbursement. However, chrysler denied the consumer's request by stating there was no permanent remedy. The consumer contacted chrysler after receiving the letter, and they informed him it was their policy not to reimburse until a second recall letter was sent with a permanent fix.
When driver or parked and idling the dash, indicator lights, headlights, tail lights, speedometer completely lose power. This has happened while driving in low light conditions causing a very serious hazard.
2006, jeep grand cherokee,the ignition switch is bad and causes the headlights and interior lights to go on and off.
2006 gc limited 5.7 hemi, on occasion during the hours of 'dusk' all the vehicle lights will flicker\on and off (dash, headlights, radio everything when turned on). I went to the dealership however they were not able to locate the issue. Seems to only occur during late hours when the sun is going down. Work around is placing the headlights on 'automatic' which resolves the issue. Drive me crazy.

For the last 3 months, both the interior and exterior lights will flicker and then go off.there is no warning before it happens.many times you can turn the light switch off and then on again and everything will be fine.but lately, this does not solve the problem.i have taken it to a jeep dealer to fix but since they can not duplicate the problem, they don't know what to fix.this is a huge safety issue as it has happened at night on a road with no street lights.it also makes the car unable to be seen by others..... An accident waiting to happen.

I have been receiving recall notices from chrysler since september 2014.i did everything the recall notice prompted me to do until the parts came in.i called the dealership 3 times over the last year to see if the parts came in.i really did not have any issues until august 3,2015.i was driving down the street and my car just turned off.i had no power steering but i was able to pull over with no problem and there was no traffic around me.i new it was the ignition switch issue so i called the dealer and they told me the parts for that recall are not available so there is nothing that can be done.this is my only form of transportation and i am a nursing student and can not afford to buy a new car.i have continued to drive it and on 3 separate occasions it has turned off while i was driving. Luckily i have either been in slower traffic or sitting at a stop light.this week on 3 occasions i went to start my car and it would not start.i called aaa but by the time they arrived it started again.the jeep dealership told me i should not drive the car, i asked them if they could get a car for me to drive until the parts come in since this is a safety issue due to their recall and they said they could not do that.this is the only transportation i have.i go to school full time, am doing my clinicals and perceptorship at the hospital and work part time to pay my rent.i do not know what i am supposed to do if they do not have the parts to repair my car and this could be a life threatening problem.yesterday (9/23/2015) i stopped by baxter jeep in omaha, ne to see if they could get me in to check my car because it didn't start the first time i tried to start it that morning.they told me they couldn't get it in until october 7.i went to another auto repair servicer and they confirmed it was the ignition switch pertaining to the recall.
We were driving home last night on a straight section of highway 50 east of carson city nevada and the lights went bright then out then flickered on and off then it was okay. A short time later on the same highway still a straight section it did the same thing, i pulled over, lights went to normal. The traffic was light at the time thank god. This was on a 4 lane highway. The manufacturer should take care of this issue without hesitation and immediately. I have been reading lots of incidents like what we went through.

Pulling away from stop sign my vehicle lost power (stalled out). The lights for park, reverse, neutral, and drive all came on at one time. Lost power for about 15 seconds then car starting moving again. This has happened a few times not just the one date listed here. This was the only time i was actually pulling out into traffic. Could have caused a major wreck. Sometimes it does it while driving down road and i have to pull over to turn car off. When i start it back again it runs fine for a while. Ever since this has been happening my airbag light and engine light have been coming on and off all the time. About a year ago, i had to have a speed sensor changed on the transmission cause the car would not shift through gears cost me around $800 because it had to be taken to a transmission service center. Are these problems all related? bought this car from a private seller (one owner) well taken care of. All maintenance was up to date when i purchased the car about 1 1\2 years ago. Is there any recalls on any of the problems i listed here?

While driving my 2006 grand cherokee the vehicle will switch into neutral on it's own.this has occurred while stopped at lights, while driving at 70 mph, so on and so forth.the check engine light reads "shift control module" and this has been replaced twice and has not been cheap.when this occurs, the dash board lights light up around all gears (park, reverse, neutral, and drive.)i have had to pull off onto the side of the road and turn off my vehicle and restart it before it would switch back into the correct gear.i am wondering if the new safety recall 13v175000 is covering this issue.as i read, it seems my vehicle is not the only one with this problem.my next step was to replace the entire transmission as the person working on the vehicle did not know what else to suggest.this is very dangerous, especially with having to share this vehicle with a teenage son.

I have a jeep grand cherokee(2006). Over the past 5 years, it has intermittently had problems. Sometimes while driving and after startup. These problems have always beenloss of gauges, flashing lights in dash, what appears to be the traction control or brakes kicking in and the loss of power steering? when this first started happening i thought maybe the computer had been vibratedor jostled and had a glitch. Over time it would go away and 6 months or so later happen again! i have done everything in my power to stop this from happening, ie changing parts and trouble shooting the problems to no avail. I thought i had this narrowed down to a rusted connection from a ground wire connected to the block.....wrong again! this morning i had my 4 year old son in the jeep and was taking a left at a busy intersection. I clearly had enough time to make the turn, but as i was turning it sounded like my anti lock brakes were kicking inmid turn with a car coming right at us! i made the turn pulled over on the side of the road. All my gauges were dead, check engine light on and only the gear selector was visible. I have read on many jeep related forums, that this is not only happening to my jeep but many others! while reading i have noticed one thing. In many cases these problems were solved by replacing the ignition switch! after reading this i further researched the problem against recalls. I found that, according to the wall street journal, ny times, usa today and forbes, chrysler is allegedly recalling these vehicles with faulty ignition switches. So i called my local dealer. They looked my jeep up in their database and told me they'rewere no recalls on my vehicle and that they haven't recalled any vehicles for faulty ignition switches. I would appreciate it if the nhtsa could help with some of these problems and answer some of these question i and many others have.

While driving under normal road & weather conditions the vehicle began shutting off & on sometimes resulting in a complete stall that required restarting the engine after rolling onto the shoulder without any power! we received a recall notice that details their recommendation that it should be driven without only the key in the ignition as a temporary approach. The problem persist even under this precaution & has become worse! driver has to hold the key while driving when it starts to shut down to avoid the stall.
While driving, all of my lights on my instrument panel start to flash. I am unable to tell the speed at which i am going because it the speedometer stops working as well. The fans stop blowing and this has happened over and over. I received a speeding ticket because of being unable to tell how fast i was driving. I have taken my car to a chrysler/jeep dealership and they were unable to do anything or figure out why it happened. I have taken it to my local garage and they are unable to find out why it is happening. This has been going on for almost two years and keeps getting worse and worse. I have contacted chrysler/jeep via email and was told that i should take it back to a dealership to have it looked at but "if it is monetary reimbursement"that i was looking for, that wasn't going to happen. I can google this issue and find hundreds of people with the same problem online with no resolution! this isn't just a problem that i am having and until it causes someone to have an accident and kill either themselves or someone else, chrysler doesn't seem to care!!!

I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee srt8 about two weeks ago i was leaving a store at night when i started the jeep the indicator light for my bright lights was on i tried to turn them off nothing happened they were stuck on then i realized i had no turn signals either. When i went inside the store the brights were not on and everything was working fine. I went ahead and drove home without turn signals and my bright lights stuck on about 10 min into my drive everything started working again. Then about a week ago and i turned left to enter a highway everything inside the jeep went black i lost all interior power gauges, instrument panel, radio, ac, lights and fans the jeep stuttered but kept running when this happened everything came back about a minute later. Just now when i was taking a left turn it happened again everything inside the jeep died again and came back on about a minute later. I have already had my ignition recall done also since the recall was done half the time when i try to start the jeep it will just make a clicking sound and i have to turn it over a few times and hold the key in the start position until it will finally start.

Takata recall: i was in an accident with my 2006 grand cherokee. The accident was due to the ignition switch and the vehicle powering down while in drive, or in use. Injuries were suffered due to the airbag's none deployment. After taking the vehicle to the dealer and attempting to have two recalls replaced, i was told there presently was no available fix, or replacement for recall p41. The vehicle was serviced in 2015 at fitzpatrick's chrysler jeep (430 e main street, ansonia, ct 06401 (203) 734-3318) for recalls p41(ignition switch) & n23(powertrain transfer case electrical system). In january of 2012 with 37k on the vehicle there was the first of two accidents that relate to recall p41. This accident was due to unresponsive braking and steering, which was caused by the ignition switch moving from the on position to the off position while the vehicle was in drive, or in use. This accident happened when attempting to stop the vehicle (rte. 80 east haven, ct) i noticed the vehicle was unresponsive. I used both feet and hands to apply the breaks, while simultaneously wrapping both hands around the lower half of the steering wheel and pulling upward with my biceps to apply additional downward momentum to the break pedal, but still i could not stop the vehicle. Injuries were sustained and out pocket costs for this accident total over $7000 dollars. The second accident happened in 2016. Not realizing the vehicle was off while attempting to bring the vehicle to a full stop on the highway (rte.15 no haven, ct.), i had a collision. The force of the impact slammed my face into the steering wheel. I was dazed and confused, wondering, why hadn't the airbags deployed. This is the second incident i've had with this vehicle that was directly related to the ignition switch. And, in both accidents airbags were never deployed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Incident happened multiple times. Engine, shut down briefly. When i stepped on brake it vibrated severely. The instrument panel lit up, was unable to steer. Received notice from nhtsa tried to have fixed several timesand part is still unavailable. It is happening more often and i am afraid to drive it. Very disappointed. I believe jeep should furnish me with a safe vehicle.

I do not remember exactly when the problem started, but while driving at night, my lights started flickering and then went out all together.i thought it happened when i turned my signal lights on, but i am not sure if this is the cause.i took it to the jeep dealer and they could not find anything.every now and then, i have the same issue, but nothing can be found.this is very dangerous for me and it terrifies me that someone will think i am flashing them and become angry.there is obviously something wrong if there are so many with this type of problem, but nothing is being done about it. I purchased as a one person lease vehicle from a dealership and within a year had to have my transmission replaced. I could not enter transmission in the parts section.

Car shifted unintentionally into neutral when driving, did the several times. Had to have electronic shift module replaced, in january 2013. Chrysler issued a recallmay 2013 for 2005-2010 cars, but my vehicle bin was not included.
The ignition appeared to drop all gauges, blower, warning lights, etc.the entire dash went dead and all controls went dead as far as gauges, interior lights, fan motor, etc., although the vehicle appeared to keep running.the problem seems to be getting worse and worse, and we have been waiting over a year for jeep to get the parts to replace the switch.they refuse to replace the switch with a new switch matching the same part number, but also have not secured replacement switches.it appears that they can continue to source switches for cars in production they wish to sell, just not the ones affected by this recall.perhaps if someone halted sales of new cars until the auto manufacturers provided replacement parts for those under recall, we would have better performance on recalls.

When coming off of the off ramp from the highway, i came to a stop light. Once sitting at the stop light the heater, dash and headlights all went off but the car was still running. All 3 of the mentioned above flickered on and off multiple times before coming back on again and then the check engine light popped up. This is not related to the ignition as my knees are not even close to the key and the key has nothing dangling from it. This is rather dangerous. If i was still driving and it happened, i would not be able to see my speed or the road.

I was advised by larry h miller in albuquerque nm that my recall was fixed and that i would need to pay for a diagnostic to see why the " service 4wheel drive system" light was still on even though i had been there 2 times in past and issue was said to be resolved by a system update. I left the dealership after i was told it was about 280$ that i would have to pay to get the issue fixed-

Driving approx 50 mph, the jeep quit, no warning signs, no power steering.momentum got me off the road.dealership wasn't able to fix the problem.this happened in march 2011.sept 2011 i was passing a transit bus on the way to work and as i started to pull back into my own lane the jeep quit again.no warnings, it just quit.i had to coast into the front yard of someones house because i had no steering.i sat for a few minutes, started it up and drove back home.the onboard diagnostics light, esp, bas and traction control lights were on.from that point the jeep was running very badly.dealer had my jeep for 6 days and said it was a map sensor on the manifold.got the jeep back and backing out of my driveway in the middle of the road, it quit.a couple tries and it restarted.i'm very upset that this vehicle has put me in harms way on 3 separate occasions.i couldn't imagine driving on a twisting steep road and having it quit.i'm lucky i wasn't killed the day i was passing the bus.i'm not convinced the map sensor is the problem and i don't trust this vehicle.i drive a lot and transport my kids.we are all in danger in this vehicle.mainly because, it gives you absolutely no warning that it's going to quit, it just shuts down as if i shut the key off.i have only the ignition key on the keyring so i know it has nothing to do with heavy keys pulling on the ignition switch.i am not the only complaint, they are all over the web, it is an issue and someone needs to address it.this vehicle has become dangerous.

2007 grand cherokee jeep.consumer writes in regards to ignition switch issues.
While driving dashboard lights will all come on similar to what happens when you start the car. Other electronic components (radio, odometer) stop but engine continues to run. Can steer and brake but difficult. No error messages received.this has continued to happen with no warning over the past 9 months. Multiple mechanics have looked at the car but cannot identify a problem. It seems that many people have complained about similar problems.
Ignition key failure and electrical issues with locks. Vehicle will not start at frequent and in frequent times. Vehicle seems to think that there is a key in the ignition. Dealer has looked at and replaced on previous recall. Problem is not fixed and vehicle will leave you stranded. Took back to dealer and they can't find issue! vehicle was stopped and stationary. Does not start when key is inserted and vehicle is parked.

While at highway speed, on the highway, vehicle stalled, lost power steering, acceleration ability, braking and lights.had to coast to the side of the road while narrowly avoiding other motorists at highway speed.this has occurred on several different occasions at speeds anywhere from 5-60 mph.very dangerous and frightening.this has been reported by thousands of other jeep owners and is eventually going to get people killed.

I purchased my 2006 grand cherokee in may of 2008. I started having a problem with the headlights flickering on and off and then totally going off about 3 weeks after we purchased the vehicle. We took it back to the dealership while still under warranty and they serviced it to find "nothing wrong." the service person drove the vehicle at night and stated nothing happened. A couple of months later the same thing happened again, we took it to the dealership a second time, and the service person said the same thing again, "nothing wrong." we go almost a year with no problems and the flickering of the head lights and interior dash starts all over again. I would hate for someone to have to die before the manufacturer decides to do something about this problem. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 17 year old son that i transport daily and i refuse to allow him to drive my vehicle because of this problem. Hopefully someone will decide to take action concerning the issues with the jeep cherokee.

On many occasions my car has stalled out while i am driving. When this happens my power steering goes out and my wheels lock up. It mainly happens when i am going at a slow speed...but on 2 different occasions it has happened on the interstate at 70 mph. I have sent my car in to 2 different 5 star chrysler repair places...both of these places have stated that they weren't able to identify a problem and thus could not fix my car.

Dashboard lights will randomly start to flash, air conditioning/heating system loses power, and speedometer, tachometer fluctuates erratically.this happens every so often, without warning.thought it was the remote starter, but then it started happening without using the remote starter.it appears that many, many people have had this issue and no recalls have been issued.dealer states they "think" it might be something to do with the ignition, key, ? what that know.they asked me specific questions related to "check engine light"and if the vehicle lost power. It does not lose power, but simply lights flash and it is scary.one time, the headlights flashed off and on until i pulled over and shut engine off and restarted.doesn't always happen, but very scary when it does.hoping this doesn't lead to a more dangerous issue....jeep needs to get on this issue as mine is, without a doubt, not an isolated incident!

On the date mentioned the vehicle described became locked in place unable to shift gears. The vehicle was towed into the dealer and the work performed . This involved the replacement of the transmission transfer case. At the time i questioned the possible reasons for the incident and received no answer. The total cost was in excess of 3000 dollars paid by me.i have since (upon conducting research) learned that the chrysler corp. Has reluctantly issued a recall for this exact issue. It was issued in may of this year. The agency report specifically characterizes the electrical transfer case issue. I made repeated calls to the chrysler corp. And have been rebuffed with the explanation being "your vin is not included in this action." i find this incredulous.my vehicle, a 2006 jeep grand cherokee absolutely falls into the recall category.the invoice (#[xxx]) i received from world jeep where the repair work was completed identifies the cause and repair as transmission/transfer case 2168cpdca.the case number i was given by chrysler corp. Is identified under # [xxx].the recall campaign number under your agency 13v175000. It is carried by chrysler under campaign number n23.i cannot understand the arrogance of a corporation such as chrysler in light of such absolute evidence to the contrary of their stance. I am requesting your assistance in this matter. Any documentation heretofore mentioned can be forwarded to your agency if necessary.

Headlights and dash lights flicker when on. They will usually remain on for approximately 5 minutes before they start to flicker. At that point the headlights and dashlights will flash off and on rapidly causing oncoming traffic and the traffic in front of my vehicle to panic. The flicker occurs even when the vehicle is turned off an the light control switch is left in the on position. I have not noticed the flicker occurring while the vehicle is turned off and the light control switch is in the off position. This condition could potentially be very dangerous depending upon the timing of the occurrence. I have conducted internet research on this topic and found that many 2005-2008 jeep grand cherokee owners have had this very same problem. Even more 2005 - 2008 jeep grand cherokee owners have had electronic problems in general. My particular headlight problem has been attributed to an electronical control module which would cost close to $1,000 to repair or replace. I believe this to be faulty workmanship or the use of a faulty product by jeep. The failure of an electronic control model is not the result of wear and tear. Therefore, i believe this should either be admitted and replaced by jeep or made a safety recall.i appreciate your time and consideration.

I bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited edition. I bought 4 new tires the day of the purchase. The tpms-tire pressure monitoring system began failing a short time thereafter. The light in the dashboard flashed telling me my tire pressure was low on various tires. My wife was the sole driver of the jeep and she was constantly calling telling me a tire was flat. She worked evening hours. I took the jeep into les schwab for repair. They advised me the price for the sensors was more than the price of the vehicle. I was constantly putting air in the tires andhad to reset the vehicle service mileage.

I had my ignition switch replaced as a result of recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 nearly a year ago. Now i am experiencing the same dash lights flashing and blower not working problem as others while driving. This problem is occurring more frequently. Today after parking, i depressed the key switch to turn the vehicle off (the newly designed switch must be pressed in for it to turn) and all the dash lights lit up and blower stopped. Releasing the switch returned the dash lights to normal. Depressing the key caused the lights to turn on again. I was able to repeat this several times before it stopped.obviously the new key switch design is contributing to the dash light problem as well. I will be bringing the vehicle back to the dealer to have the key switch replaced again.

I was driving on a busy road at night approaching a 4 way traffic light intersection.i was going approximately 35-40 mph and the road conditions were dry.suddenly the electric, lights, gauges, steering and braking system in my jeep began flickering and spasming like my jeeps entire electric system was having seizures and was switching power on and off. To the cars ahead of me it looked like i was flashing my lights and the cars behind me as if i was turning my lights on and off rapidly.i pulled off the road intoa parking lot and my jeep continued to spasm and flicker on and off.i turned my vehicle off and let it sit in hopes that this issue was a one time electrical glitch and also because i couldn't safely drive it in this condition.i eventually started my vehicle again and began to drive thinking it was alright.within minutes it began doing the same thing again.my vehicle has continued to randomly exhibit this behavior along with additionally all the gauge lights and sounds blinking and chiming for several minutes at a time.i never know when it is going to happen but when it does it is extremely dangerous and scary to be in the vehicle.i only have my ignition key on the key ring but that doesn't seem to make any difference.i have noticed that my ignition switch is extremely sensitive even when initially starting the vehicle.

While driving my vehicle, the a/c, dash, and power steering shut down. Additionally, this casuea the brakes to lock up. This is a direct issue with the ignition. When the key is in the "on" position, the vehicle acts as if it were in the "off" position. This issue has put me in multiple situations where i feared an accident was imminent. I called my local jeep dealership which informed me that the replacement part was not yet available. I was encouraged to call chrysler's main office to get an update. They advised me that it was not yet available and that their recommendation was to not drive my vehicle until the recall was available. This vehicle is my only means of transportation, so that is not an option for me. The recall for this part was issued 9/3/14, it is now 6/9/15 and the recalled part still cannot be replaced.

On multiple occasions, my vehicle has shown symptoms that appear to be related to the recent chrysler ignition switch recall. One persisting problem is when i am driving with my headlights on, the interior lights (dashboard, radio, and climate control illumination) and all exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, and any other illuminated position lights) will rapidly flash on and off. Currently, my remedy for this problem, when it is happening, is to turn on the turning indicator which appears to return the lights to normal. More recently, while leaving my neighborhood, all of my dashboard warning lights illuminated and then the dashboard went dark all together. The remedy for this problem was to turn the car completely off and back on again. Last but not least, while traveling about 65 mph on a highway, my knee bumped the ignition key which switched the car to the accessory position, rendering the car powerless.

For a few months now & without warning: the dashboard lights, tachometers, heater, and headlights flicker on/off, then go completely off. Then if applying the brakes, there is a ferocious grinding noise and loss of steering. Engine seems to slow down or not want to shift to next gear while driving. All this happens when there is flickering. Seems to happen at random but getting worse. Check engine light stays on for a day then disappears. I have video recording of these incidents. Vehicle has been checked but "nothing reports" so i am told it cannot be repaired.

Since i got the recall notice from chrysler and i immediately call them to make an appointment but before i went they told me they didn't have the part for the car. They told me to wait until they got the part. So i waited. Today (november 20) my car didn't start when i tried to start it and the car made a clicking sound. So i gave up and when i turn it all off and took the key from the switch, the car still made the beeping sound like if the key was still in the switch. So i locked my car and this evening i went to get something from my car and the battery is dying. So now i can't go to work tomorrow because my car isn't starting. I just recently called chrysler and they told me that they can't do anything because they didn't have the part and they told me they can't give me a rental because they don't give them for recalls and they told me to call the chrysler main phone and i did. Chrysler said that they couldn't give a rental car because it's not for the recall and they said they couldn't do anything to fix my car until they make the part. So now i have a broken jeep outside parked.

2006 jeep grand cherokee.consumer requests reimbursement for recall repairs. The consumer stated the costly repair of the shifter assembly did not successfully address the real defective part, the final drive controller module software, which was finally made public in 2013.in early 2010, the vehicle unintentionally shifted from drive into neutral, while the consumer was driving. Luckily, she was able to coast out of the roadway into a parking lot. The dealer mistakenly diagnosed the condition as a defective shifter and replaced it. At the end of may 2011, the vehicle once again shifted from drive into neutral on its own. The consumer no longer owns the vehicle.

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 quality of the vehicle itself.

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
While driving under completely normal conditions, several severe problems occurred simultaneously; interior dash lights started flashing on and off, vehicle started sputtering and became unresponsive when trying to accelerate, grinding sound from left front wheel accompanied the other problems further adding to the vehicle suddenly slowing down while in motion. All warning lights were lit up when flashing stopped, but then a couple of minutes later while i was trying to limp into a parking lot to get the car off the road the dash lights started wildly flashing on and off again and the car continued to be virtually unresponsive when stepping on the gas. After shutting the car off and restarting it, the esp/bas lights remained on for a couple of days, but eventually went out, but the check engine light remained on. The problem happened again on 3/29/2013 while i was driving under normal conditions.it was sudden, unexpected and scary. With the right set of circumstances, it could be devastating and extremely dangerous. Once i started doing a bit of online research, i found many jeep forums packed full of owners with the identical model and year of my grand cherokee that are having the same grave issues. It is clearly very widespread for this particular vehicle, and then i found the arfc page and i was astounded at the numbers of owners of my year and model who have also had hair raising incidents who have described the exact set of problems that i have had.chrysler cannot ignore the massive numbers of people who are reporting the same defect issues. It is well beyond the realms of coincidence, and it is too dangerous to ignore. There needs to be a national factory recall asap before somebody gets killed.

I bought the vehicle in texas on april 15, 2015 with the purpose of exporting it into canada, where i live.my son and i drove it back to canada and got clearance to import it into canada as per the vehicle import form - form 1 from transport canada ( registrar of imported vehicles case # t 075907). I paid the import fee of $204.75 and the excise tax $100.00 and goods and services tax of $ 408.56 - $508.56 total.when i got to saskatchewan, wherelive, i tried to get the vehicle licenced and insured only to find out that i could not do that because of an outstanding recall on the vehicle... I went to a chrysler dealership to get the recall taken care of only to find there was no " fix" for the recall and no definite time frame when i could expect to have the recall done and get the vehicle licenced and insured where i live. This leaves me with a dilemma!!i have never heard of a recall where there was no "fix" available before the auto maker announced the recall. I'm stuck!!! fortunately, i still have the vehicle insured with my texas insurer and am driving on the permit from the dealer. I'm not sure how long i can continue to do this legally. It's very unsettling !! as i understand it, any vehicle affected by this recall are still ok to drive if they were bought in usa or canada until a "fix" becomes available but an imported vehicle is not ok! help!!

Problem started around january 2015 on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. Vehicle wouldn't start. My husband replaced the starter and problem persisted. Took vehicle into genesee auto electric on 1/23/2015 and they couldn't find a problem but charged me $250 for replacing battery posts. Then replaced the battery and it seemed to be fine for a little while. Around march 2015 had incident on 15 south where i was driving about 80 miles and the electrical started going crazy. All electrical on the dashboard started blinking and gauges were moving all over the place. It really scared me and so i pulled over to the side of the road and shut off jeep. It took a while to restart it but after wiggling the battery a little it worked. I no longer feel safe driving my jeep after fully realizing what the recall was about and doing some research on other people's experiences. Chrysler gave me a rental car for 3 days and has been unwilling to assist me any further. My jeep is now sitting at the dealership.
2006 jeep grand cherokee.consumer writes in regards to ignition switch and other vehicle issues.the consumer stated she has experienced ignition causing the vehicle to stall, while driving. The consumer was informed the parts were not available. Recall # 14v438000.
Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.). After a few minutes of blinking and going dark, everything begins to work again, but the check engine light comes on. This exact scenario has happened multiple times. Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year. In once instance, i was driving around the city going 10-15 mph and this scenario happened and the brakes were not working properly and the car was very hard to turn. Everytime i have brought the car to the dealer they try to pull a code and nothing is available for them. At this point i am fed up so i am officially reporting the issue. It is completely unsafe to be driving when this happens, especially when you are on the highway. Let's hope something is officially done before anyone gets hurt.

When driving my transmission would be stuck in a gear sometimes and other times it would shift to neutral while on city roads and highways. This would happen mostly when accelerating when the automatic transmission had to shift to the next gear. It wouldn't or would go to neutral so i had to shift the transmission back and forth from neutral to drive to catch a gear. I read about a recall back in 2013 but chrysler said it did not apply to my vehicle so i paid to get the problem fixed. Since chrysler is currently having recall problems i'm curious to find out if this was something that wasn't reported.

I was driving down the road and all of my dash lights came on, the heater and radio stopped working and my jeep seemed to be stalling out. I was driving down a road where i was unable to pull over. The car behind me almost rear ended me because of this. This same problem has happened almost on a daily bases. I first thought it had something to do with the new key i had made but then i came to find out about the ignition switch recall. I can't believe that there still is not a part to fix this issue. I really can't believe that jeep does not think that this is a safety issue. I am afraid to drive my jeep very far at all. I have not been able to go on any long trips this summer in fact i had to stay home on my vacation as this is the only car i have. I can't afford to buy another car as i am still making payments on this one and no one will even think about buying it because of this issue. Is it going to take someone to die before anything is done about this. If i had known about this problem i would have never bought my jeep.

My 2006 jeep grand cherokee lardeo has all the same issues as listed by every other jeep owner.the engine randomly shuts off while driving down the road,the dash board and headlights flicker on and off constantly.sometimes we start sometimes we dont. When pulling out into traffic , maybe it will go, maybe it wont. I have lost my brakes on several occasions as well.now the jeep sits in my driveway as it wont start at all, and of coarse nobody can tell me what is wrong with it as usual !nothing like paying for a dead horse ! i have contacted the chrysler corporation only to be told these are not "safety" issues.good lord what does it take to get a decent vehicle that is safe and reliable ?i guess that would be not buying anything chrysler, dodge, jeep in the future is the route i will take ! i only hope when one of these ticking bombs fail, my family and friends arent on the road that day !

If the keys in the ignition shake just slightly, all lights on dash flicker on/off, engine cuts out and comes back on.i've had a problem with this since i bought the vehicle in 12/08 and still happens. I can only have 1 car key in ignition so nothing happens but still does every so often.
Jeep quit going and motor quit......checked and found key turned off....restarted and only one problem since then........called new dealer in town and they said bring it by and they would "check it out" but didn't seem very interested?????

Purchased 2006 jeep grand cherokee new. Within first 6 months have been taking it bake to the dealer for intermittent lack/stalling. This happens while driving at different speeds and mostly making slight turns or when i begin to turn as well as up and down hill. This has been going on for the last 2 yrs,but most recently has happened alot more offend. I have taken it to the dealer with no result each time. Within the last 2 weeks is has stalled at least 7 times. 9/27/08 i was injured from slamming the breaks and fighting the steering to avoid a head on collision at an intersection while starting to make a turn. I did take it to the dealer and again with no result. The day i dropped it off at the dealer it shut down in their lot. I was told that this would have been recorded in the codes,but they told me they found nothing. The next day it stalled while dropping my son off at school. He was with me when i was injured so i can prove it does happen. I did call the dealer back and that was 3 days ago. They will not return my phone call let alone honor my warranty. This car is not safe.
Starting october 2nd, 2012, my 2006 jeep grand cherokee has not been shifting gears correctly and all options on the dashboard (park, reverse, neutral, drive) will light up. The car slows at this point and i have to pull over, put it in park, and then put it in drive again; doing that seems to reset it. This issue has happened about 4 times since and it's only october 6th, 2012 now. After doing research online, this seems to be a huge problem with other jeep grand cherokees and a very scary one at that. Godforbid this happened to me on the highway and wasn't able to pull over; its an accident waiting to happen.

I bought the jeep in feb. 2013 and shortly thereafter, while driving on the interstate, the car just shut itself off and everything went dead. This has happened about 2 dozen times since, sometimes going fast and sometimes going slow or pulling into an intersection.

Two issues occurred that are likely the result of the same electrical problem with the vehicle. The first is the headlights will intermittently turn off without warning or cause. The second, the more recent of the two problems, is the entire dashboard will light up then power down completely. The vehicle still runs (engine) but all gauges drop as if the vehicle were off, a/c shuts off, radio shuts off, etc.when reported to the dealership they say they've never heard of it, although a brief online search turned up dozens and dozens of similar instances.

Was driving my jeep at night with my infant in the back seat, 55mph. Suddenly all the lights in the dashboard and parking assistance lights in the back all lite up. At the same time the heater stopped working and my headlights went out as well. They came back on about 5 seconds later. I continued to drive when it did it again. I switched the lights out of auto. The same problem occurred again but this time the head lamps did not go out, all the warning lights on the dash still flashed and heat went off. It resumed the whole way home but never fully lost power. It still does this on a daily basis, multiple times. I feel as if it's getting worse but no one can diagnose and figure out what's wrong with it. Considering the airbag warning and others(all of them) light up, i'm concerned for my safety and my sons. Today as i was driving it seemed worse. Even turn signal lights are effected when this happens. Today my speedometer, gas gage... Everything on my dashboard lite up and my meters quit working. It all resumed as normal after it happened but it happened approximately 15 times during a 10 minute drive. Sometimes back to back to back. It also happened while sitting at a stop light when i noticed my turn signals also went out at that time, while stationary and while turning. Happens no matter if stationary or in motion.

Pulled in to mcdonalds drive through and steering wheel locked up on me and dashboard lights lite up all of them. Scared the crap out of me. Same things happened at least 6 other times where the steering wheel would lock up and truck would shut off. I was sitting at a stop light when the dashboard lights lit up and then truck died. Truck will appear to be racing at times when i barly hit gas.i had my 5 year old granddaught with me and the truck shut off while i was driving going about 45 miles. I never was so scared in my life. All i could image was me and my precious granddaughter dying. I was so scared, i could notdrive for a day or twoto settle my nerves. Please help !!!!!. I think that chrysler needs to pay for rentals till issue is fixed or have trucks replaced before someone dies. !!!!!!!

Headlights and dash lights flicker and turn off intermittently on 2006 jeep grand cherokee.vehicle was recently in garage to fix problem.problem could not be duplicated in shop. Next day issue occurred again.problem began approximately six months ago.
While i was driving in my local suburban neighborhood, after driving about 6 miles, my vehicle shuttered and the dashboard lights flicked on and off a few times and started beeping. I got really scared so i pulled over, turned the car on and off again, and that is when i noticed the check engine light was now on. I immedietely took it to my trustworthy mehanic and that it when he told me the code reader was giving an error code of u1411 ignition switch. I did my own research and discovered that my vehicle fits the description (year/make/model) of a recall that was done on jeeps 2006-2007 for faulty ignition switches.

This is not the first time this has happened since i purchased the jeep in 2009 but it was the most significant one.all lights went off inside & out.there was some problem with the steering & the braking also.the motor did not die nor did the a/c or radio go off.when this happens all the warning lights flash a few times & for a few seconds i loose all the lights & experience the braking & steering problems.i did receive the recall notice for the ignition switch in september, 2014 stating that they were trying to get the parts for repair but i have not heard anything else from chrysler.this is the only vehicle that i have and at this point i am afraid to drive any distance.

On my way home from work after dark, i experienced a loss of head lights, dash power and heating traveling at a high rate of speed down the interstate.earlier that morning on my way to work, the dash quit working 4 times.all gauges stop working and drop to zero and the heat/ac quits.i have experienced my head lights turning off/losing power on 3 separate occasions. I am able to switch them from automatic to on and they work.once my dash "flickers" and returns to normal, the engine light, traction light and esp bas light stay on.this has become a daily malfunction that occurs on my way to and from work.the first time this occurred in september of 2014, i drove straight to auto zone and bought a brand new battery.they tested the battery and said i needed a new one.they installed a new battery and connected power to the jeep while they changed it.i figured a bad battery was the issue and it was now fixed.a couple days later, i began experiencing a loss power to my dash again.i have taken my jeep to 3 different jeep dealerships and they cannot find anything wrong but an ignition switch or bad battery.they all told me that they had not received the ignition switch part for the recall but i will received a notice in the mail when they do.one jeep dealership contacted auto zone and told them the only thing they could find wrong with it was the battery.i went back to auto zone and they replaced my battery.i have had my alternator checked several times and it tested good.this defect/malfunction is dangerous and a hazard to my life as well as other motorist.i am very dissatisfied with jeep's handling of the situation and long await period of the recall part.
While driving the dash board goes black and all gauges go to zero loses complete electrical power.this happens several times a week.ignition switch has been changed already

Electrical system: during the dusk\twilight hours all the system lights begin to 'blink\flash' off and on as if there is an electrical short. Headlights, dash lights all electrical components flash on and off. This only occurs during 'dusk or twilight' hours. The dealership is unable to replicate the issue. At complete darkness, if i approach a lighted parking lot or establishment in about 3 to 4 minutes the lights will begin to flicker on and off. My thought is some light dimming sensor. Again the dealership claims no issues\error codes have been identified.

I have worked all my life in business and i have never seen such poor service as i have received on this recall.my key switch is loose (because it has been hit so many times).at times i turn the key to start my car and it does not connect with the starter.i would like for someone who is responsible enough and cares about public service to call me and give me a date when my key switch will be replaced.i hope there is someone in the agency that has enough job interest to give this to a responsible employee.

While parked the car will rotate between not cranking to starting but shutting completely off. In addition to these issues while driving 40 mph the vehicle will sometimes stall and engine will start to lose power. I took the vehicle into cutter dodge in honolulu for repair on 8/25. They diagnosed the problem as aignition switch recall but they didn't have the part to fix it at this time. In addition, stated that the wireless control module(wcm) had failed and needed to be replaced.

My 2006 jeep grand cherokee has now started sporadic headlight service.for the last few years i have noticed the dashboard lights dimming for no apparent reason but now the headlights are also cutting in and out.it seems there is no real solution from what i have been reading online and chrysler needs to address this since it is very unnerving to not have headlights while driving at night.
While driving my 2006 jeep grandcherokee my headlights and dash light being to flash uncontrollably. I had to pull the vehicle into a parking lot and leave it till the morning. I have read hundreds of complaints but no one has the exact fix for the problem.

I bought my vehical used in june. (2006 jeep grand cherokee limited with 160,000 miles) i took it back to dealer where they told me the battery had issues and they "fixed" the problem. I'd be driving and if i came to a stop i would lose all power and my engine would turn off. At a drive through, it would die, at a stop light, die. In october my issues started up again. Now the same things are happening but every light on the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, headlights shut off, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine will run for about 20min then i lose all power where ever i am, i'll be driving down the highway going 55mph and the engine shuts off. Pulling into the store engine shuts off. On my way to work engine just shut off while going down the highway. Coasted as far as i could to get to a safe place to stop. Now it won't start again.

The vehicle starts up great no issues, then within 5 seconds cuts it's self off. No sputtering or choking, it's not stalling, the computer is turning the vehicle off. This happens at least 1 out of 3 times starting it and sometimes if you keep starting it it will eventually stay in, but other times it leaves you stranded. There are 100s of other people reporting the same issue but jeep refuses to acknowledge there is an issue. They have replaced the pcm (over $2,000) repair and now want to replace 2 components feeding into the pcm bc the issue persists but won't guarantee the fix. I believe me and others deserve to have jeep acknowledge this is an electrical issue with their jeeps, that leaves their drivers stranded and vulnerable.

When i called the manufacturer this morning, nov 19, 2014 (my car failed to start) regarding a recall notice, i was advised that i would have to pay for a "temporary fix" out of pocket because the recalled part was currently unavailable. No further recourse was addressed and since my car is intermittently starting and has occasionally stalled while driving, i am stuck driving a potential hazard, or being stranded without a vehicle at all, until replacement parts are made available to me.i have already replaced the faulty ignition part, at my own expense (more than $700) , in 2012 prior to the recall. Clearly even that part was a "temporary fix," though that was never communicated to me.

On july 18 2014 recall # p41 was issued by chrysler corp. They have, as yet no solution for this issue. It has been almost a year and no solution in sight.

This vehicle has been given to the dealer twice for the 14v-438 safety recall spanning 2014-2015 and twice it hasn't been fixed. It's not the dealers fault (apparently) because whoever is supposed to be sending these parts is not doing so. First attempt, the dealer had no parts because chrysler hadn't sent any parts for the recall. Second attempt could not be completed because chrysler did not send enough parts, it takes three i'm told, to make this repair. So you guys keep sending me these recall things, i keep taking the car in, but chrysler obviously doesn't care enough to fix the potential problem because they won't send the parts to the dealer. But we are supposed to take these recalls seriously ?? chrysler doesn't. They no doubt are hoping i'll sell the car but ir's a 9 year old(new) vehicle with only 22000 miles on it and is in cherry condition. I bought it new and "it" will probably outlive me.

I received a recall notice n23 which said that i needed to call my local jeep chrysler service center as soon as possible to have the work done because the problem could cause a crash. I have been trying to call at least a couple of times a week since i have received this notice about 7 months ago and they told me that i am on a waiting list for the part. Nothing can be done until they get the part. Since then, the problems continue to get worse. Last night, i almost crashed as i lost control of the steering because the jeep seemed to lost control and died momentarily as the lights on my control panel were flashing. I was told it was all due to the key switch but i have now noticed that as the lights are all blindingly flashing there is a grinding noise that sounds like it is coming from under the car near the front. I am not a mechanic so i have no idea and i don't have money to take my jeep in and have them "try" to figure out what is going on and then charge me for possibly figuring it out. This is unacceptable! we have been waiting for almost seven months for parts that the notice says "please hurry!!! call the express service hotline 1-866-849-3608 right now to schedule your free repair". Is it because it is free repair that there is no hurry to get this fixed? i have a child! i almost wrecked. If anyone had been around me or i had been in a curve when i lost the ability to steer after the car died, we could have been killed or we could have killed someone else! i need help now!!!
While driving the vehicle at night, the dash panel lights and headlights began to flicker on and off repeatedly.

Codes p0700 and p2767 were set.

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.

On several occasions the grand cherokee has suddenly shut off while driving.the vehicle loses all power, loses power steering and brakes causing an extremely dangerous situation. Dash lights all go out. Upon restart, check engine light stays on but vehicle functions again.
Upon preparing to stop and/or make a left hand turn (multiple incidents) vehicle's ignition shuts off. This is very dangerous as i was attempting a left turn on a busy industrial 4 lane road when the vehicle shut off mid-turn. I had two small children with me (1 and 4) and am extremely lucky i was not hit, from both sides. My knee sits approximately 8 inches from the ignition switch so i know it was not bumped.

I had my check engine light diagnosed and found to be the esm shifter, an electronic device that connects the gear shifter to the transmission.it was said to me that this helps regulate that the transmission stays in the correct gear while driving.i have found that the transmission sticks in a certain gear even though it is not the correct gear i am driving in.i have found that i have had to pull over, put the vehicle and park so that it clears before going back in gear.i have also found that that process does not always work, when that has not worked, i would have to turn the vehicle off and back on for it to shift properly.i also had an incident that while using cruise control i was going up a hill so the cruise control kicked in to give the extra boost but it did not shift back down.i was quickly accelerating (almost to 90 in about 5 seconds) and being close to reaching 5rpms i had to turn off cruise control and shift into neutral for it to stop accelerating.due to the extended warranty i purchased it was not covered.i have talked to a few mechanics and they all have said they have replaced multiple recently.when talking to jeep headquarters, they stated that it has not been reported as a defective item.i was advised to contact nhtsa to report this in hopes that other have done so so that jeep is required to make this a recall item.from what i have heard, it has been a fairly common item that needs replacing.

Light bulbs behind the climate control unit and information center blow. Console is designed in such a way that the blown light bulbs cannot be replaced as they are fused to the circuit board of the affected unit. Only way to fix this issue is to replace the affected unit (like the whole climate control), which is quite expensive. This is a design flaw since the bulbs are neither maintenance-free (and long-lasting) nor serviceable.operating the vehicle with blown console lights at night is a safety hazard because it cause the driver to take the eyes off the road for an extended period of time while trying to operate unlit console equipment. This is a common issue in 2005-2010 jeep grand cherokee wk and 2006-2010 jeep commander.

This complaint is part of an ongoing recall (p41).we have not had an incident with the vehicle.however, i received a recall notice in august about the ignition issue.it is now 6 months later and chrysler still has no information about when the dealerships will have the part available to correct the problem.this is unacceptable.its my opinion that the recall notice was sent to satisfy lawyers in case someone is killed while driving this vehicle, as in, "we sent a recall notice to make you aware of the problem".how long does chrysler have to address this issue before the government gets involved?

While driving my vehicle suddenly shifted gears as if it were in neutral while rpms shot up rapidly to 3,000. It then suddenly lunged forward and picked up speed. The check engine light came on. After a day or so, the light would go off. It was very scary to have it change gears and not be able to maintain speed and suddenly speed up again while traveling with vehicles in front of me and behind me. You essentially have no control of the vehicle in that moment, nor do you have any warning that it is about to happen. Drivers around you also have no warning that your car will suddenly slow down or lunge forward. Most of the time i have to pull over and put the vehicle in park and then back into drive for it to work. Happens at any given time, whether im going 5 mph or 65 mph.. Even on highways. Can be very dangerous.
I was driving my 2006 grand cherokeethe other night in the rain and i started going down a hill and i hit a little bump and my brakes like locked up in the front and i went to turn into a drive way after it did that and i had no power steering and my battery light came on and this has happened to me now twice in the last few weeks!
My daughter was pulling out from where she works and hit a small bump.her jeep lost power due to the faulty ignition switch.she lost power steering and power brakes.she almost got hit by two cars.another time her husband accidentally hit the ignition switch with his knee and the jeep did the same thing.
My dashboard light was flashing and clicking many time for about 2 minutes this is the 4 times this happen, i took my car 3 times before to the dealer and they do not fine anything in my car and this problem started at beginning these year and my card just have 68,564 miles. I left my car last saturday 08/28/11 and they told me is not any thing in the computer, i saw online many complaints about this on the internet. I do not want somebody have a accident before chrysler find the problem with jeep grand cherokee 2006.
I received notice of recall for ignition switch over a year ago.i believe my car experienced this issue on numberous occassions, to which, prior to recall, jeep "couldn't find problem"and would do nothing to reconcile my safety concerns.i could not apply lemon law.i contacted jeep dealer, mystic, ct again after recall notice and they stated they didn't have parts and i would have to wait to be contacted by jeep to repair.my jeep was on highway multiple times when this happened; all of gauges would drop to off position, lights would flash on and off--somehow it would correct itself.upon bringing it to dealership multiple times, it somehow stopped.then incident approximately 2.5 years ago-parking car in lot-everything "locked" including steering and braking-rolled until car stopped on its own-took key out of ignition-waited, restarted and car was fine. Don't have exact dates but mystic ct jeep has record of all times car brought in.
The first incident happened just weeks after i purchased my grand cherokee. I was on a two lane highway going 75 mph in the left lane.the highway did not have a shoulder to pull over on. There was a tractor trailer in front of me, behind me and to my right. My car suddenly started decreasing in speed rapidly, my steering wheel locked up and it was as if my car had been turned off. I had no where to go as it was sandwiched in between semis all going at a high rate of speed. I turned on my hazards until i was completely stopped in the middle of the highway. I put my car in park, put the key into the off position and restarted it.i drove straight to the tulsa,ok jeep dealership. To say i was shaken up is an understatement. They ran tests on it. Came back to me and told me the car checked out perfectly fine and either my knee hit the ignition or my keys were too heavy. My keys only had my car key, house key and my key fob on it and i knew my knee had not hit the ignition. I was scared to drive my car from then on. The incidents continued to happen over and core again.sometimes at a high rate of speed, but also lots of times at a slow rate of speed under 25mph or while going from a stop to start (like at a stop light or while trying to turn). I continued to take my car in to the jeep dealership the entire time it was under warranty. I received the exact same answer every single time. They treated me like i was making the incidents up. The incidents started happening more frequently and after my second child was born we were finally in a position to purchase another vehicle. My jeep has been sitting in my driveway for over a year.we are unable to sell it for anything close to what kbb says its worth. And we also feel like we can't sell it consciously knowing it could kill someone.these cars are a death trap and because of financial situations families are forced to keep.

While driving, all the instrument warning lights came on and then went off one by one as if the vehicle was just started. This would occur over and over again with a clicking noise until i would pull over and restart the engine.this has been occurring intermittent ever since.
Driving down a mountain grade, at 65 miles per hour, all power shut off including all dash lights, speedometer, power steering and brakes. Over the next 20 miles all of these systems flashed on and off about a dozen times or more. This erratic electric behavior continued on a daily basis until i took it into the dealership . The dealer was able to recreate the problem when they jiggled the ignition switch. I do not use a keychain, only the key, so i assume the problem was caused when i drove over bumps in the road.for $1,300, the dealer was able to fix the problem.

On multiple occasions, the instrument panel has stopped working completely. The lighting in both in the interior of the vehicle as well as the exterior flashes and sometimes goes out completely. Multiple dealers have not been able to find a problem. It has caused near crashes before with the distraction of driving at night. The cruise control also accelerates without any warning while this occurs and the cruise must be reset by turning the car off and back on. This too has caused some near crashes as the car accelerates due to the faulty cruise control.

The car would make strange grinding noises and lose power steering also. The vehicle was brought to the jeep dealership and diagnosed finally after 2 visits as a faultyshifter module/control module or the cars "computer".

My 2006 jeep grand cherokee continually has a problem with the entire control panel shutting down, gauges going to zero, a/c stopping, and headlights turning off when they are on. Recently the vehicle stabilization lights came on and a terrible grinding noise made. This has probably happened 30 times over the past year. It usually happens in about a 5-10 second time span. This past week it stayed that way for around 15 minutes.
Recently bought our jeep and have dimming lights due to low idle and also have a problem with starting it. There are times it wont start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected 5 mins later and that's after shutting the vehicle off after driving it. From what i have read there is an issue with the wire harness from the battery. The low idle is making the lights dim throughout the vehicle and from what i have read on that it needs a system update that can cost roughly 1000 which i dont have. My wife also said while she was driving home that the transmission slipped on her for no apparent reason. She said she pulled over and put it in park and back in gear and then it acted fine.

Approximately 9 months ago our grand cherokee began having random electrical issues.the first symptoms to appear were with the dash board panel and vehicle gauges.speedometer and rpm gage would bounce back and forth together from 0 to 75% back to zero...when the vehicle is experiencing these issues, the odometer does not record mileage.the door locks and front windows don't operate.the headlights will sporadically turn on and off without being in the vehicle.the stereo will shut down.turn signals will "stick" if they are being used when vehicle has it's issue.loss of power has also happened.on a few occasions, the vehicle would not start, one time for 3 days.battery tested good at the shop.without doing a thing, day #4 it started fine.when electrical system acts up loss of major control functionality occurs.obvious results of that while driving 70 mph on the freeway don't need mentioning.online complaints in the hundreds yet jeep has "no clue"?unfortunately, this issue will ultimately cause loss of life if it hasn't already.

On at least 5 separate occasions since about 2009, my 2006 jeep grand cherokee has suddenly and lost power and cut off while driving at approximately 20-40 miles per hour. There is no reason that i can confirm causes this and i'm not able to duplicate the defect. I've reported it to pearson (dealer) and they indicated they can't help with an issue that can't be demonstrated or duplicated. This is extremely dangerous to lose all power, even at lower speeds. This issue should be thoroughly investigated to find the root cause. I can confirm that it definitely occurs.in addition, it's reported that starting a jeep grand cherokee may result in sudden, uncontrolled acceleration or movement forward, even when in park. Car pool auto wash pushes every jeep product out of the wash tunnel by hand to avoid starting the vehicle for this reason they explained. While sudden acceleration has never occurred to me, there appears to be enough evidence this may warrant further investigation.

Several incidents of issue with electrical?? lights on dash flash, power loss to near stall condition. Inability to steer vehicle.
I will be going at any speed and my jeep will just die or spit and sputter like its not getting gas then the rpm gauge drops to zero all the dash lights come on. This happens on the highway in the middle of intersection and it happens intermittently so you never know when its going to happen. Took it to mechanic and they told me the valve body solenoid was bad. If you search any of this online you will see that there are several people with the same problem this needs to be a recall before someone ends up dead!!

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.

Purchased vehicle in feb 2009this has happened numerous times since the first incident approx may 2010.while driving all the lights on the dashboard will turn on and off, all needles on the gauges (rpm, speed, etc.) will go up and down uncontrollably.the heat or ac which ever is on will go on and off, on an off.the all of a sudden it will all stop and be normal again.according to my research, online videos, and after speaking with the representative on the chrysler recall hotline, this is strongly related to the electrical systems: ignition switch recall.i am very concerned to drive this vehicle, i expressed this when i called chrysler, and was never informed of the recall, i found out by hearing this on the news and come to find out my vin# was never registered to me since i purchased the vehicle.the dealership has since closed. Since there is no fix in place, i would like a loaner/rental vehicle to be provided as the expense of jeep/chrysler.i don't think this is to much to ask in relation to my life, and safety of myself and family.i am in a trade for a living that requires me to drive my own vehicle to company jobsites, all over my state.

Prior to the incident, my jeep felt as if it were having trouble switching between gears.it felt jerky, if you will.while traveling along i-95 on the east coast of florida, my jeep (twice) slipped gear and appeared to have gone into neutral.if you know the area, it's not the ideal place for this to happen.since returning to the west coast of florida, it has happened once.i've taken toa shop for a tune-up and to check on that problem.needless to say, the 'fix' did not fix it and i'm still experiencing jerky shifts and gear failure.i've read a number of similar complaints regarding the same type of incidents on the nhtsa website, but have not located a fix for the problem.without hesitation, i'll say i'm terrified.
I received the safety recall notice n23/nhtsa 13v-175 in the mail and called a local dealership to try to schedule a service appointment to have this corrected. The dealership is don white's timonium chrysler jeep dodge located in cockeysville, md. I called on the phone twice to attempt to schedule this service and was disconnected both times. Then, i proceeded to try and schedule an appointment online thru their live chat service and was told that i would be contacted by the service department to confirm my appointment, but i never was. I just thought someone should know the lack of professionalism i experienced and the message i received from this experience is, "we do not want to deal with your safety recall." i have since scheduled an appointment at another local dealership.

We have been waiting over 9 months since our initial letter from chrysler notifying us that our electrical switch was questionable. There is also a recall out for power train parts where the jeep may slip into neutral--this has happened several times, to the point where we are unsafe driving it. Any contact with chrysler has resulted in "we've forwarded your complaint to our parts department" and then no response. We were told that no parts are in manufacturing--there aren't even parts to fix the problems!! we cannot drive our jeep for fear of death / injury. Please help us resolve this problem.
This was in dealing with a safety p41 recall of ignition switch problems 11/2014. My jeep's ignition switch was faulty and would not turn on. I was without a car for a week before i had to take it to the dealership for them to fix. They fixed the ignition switch and i paid out of pocket. I sent my receipts and information along with the recall information and still have not been reimbursed.
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.i realize that this is an older jeep but it seems chrysler should still be responsible for the vehicle safety.https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-jeep-cherokee-dashboard-shutoff-ignition-recall-watchdog-20141213-column.htmlthis article describes the exact issues i have seen repeatedly.now that the loss of power steering and braking assist have both happened over the last several weeks while driving (supposedly fixed by the ignition switch recall),this jeep is too dangerous to be on the road.
It has been over a year since the recall for the ignition switch... Chrysler/fiat has yet to make the replacement part available to any of the 4-5 local dealers in northern ca that are within 50 miles of my home.they seem to be avoiding responsibility to correct the problem

Random incidents while driving the dashboard will light up with all indicators and gauges go to zero value. I recorded on my cell phone one incident. I had one case that jeep stalled at same time of incident, and i was able to coast to side of road, shut engine off and restart. I discussed this with local dealer and they could not obtain any error code. I called chrysler on one incident and they said they had no known problems reported on my vehicle. Dealer said to return next time it happens but i am always not in a convenient place and the dashboard will return to normal status after some time while driving.

The headlights and dashlights started to flicker, i would turn off the lights and the back on but the problem would soon reoccur. I took it to my mechanic who couldn't duplicate the problem. He looked up the problem in a website to diagnosis the problem. He found that 60% of the time it was the headlight switch which was the problem. We replaced the headlight switch and arm assembly to this day some 5 months later the problem has been resolved.this problem seems to get worse over time without the repair.

Had complained to dealership that all lights on the instrument panel will all come on and go off at the same time, and will happen several times in a row.they told me to try wiggling the key in the ignition when it happened again.on said date this happened again while i was driving, but this time my abs engaged, which stopped me in the middle of the road.luckily, i was pulling up to a stop sign anyway.however, had this happened on the interstate, i would be devastated to know what could have happened.also, it sounded as if my starter was trying to start again.i have done some research online and have found may people with the exact same issue who have tried many different things to fix the problem, but it seems as if no one has bee able to resolve the issue.the dealerships are even unable to fix the problem.how should someone proceed with an issue like this?it seems as if the government needs to step in and make chryslerdo a recall to fix the problem that so many of us are having.
While driving down the road the dash lights will shut off and turn back on without warning. It almost seems like it shuts off but the engine stays running. The radio presets stay programmed. Has only done it twice in the last month and i've owned it for 3 years. Seems to do it in the extreme cold, but vehicle is fully warmed before i drive it. I usually let it run 20 minutes before i leave on days when it is really cold( usually below 32 degrees fahrenheit) all of the gauge lights shut off, the radio, interior lighting. Haven't noticed if exterior lighting goes off as well.

Suddenly every dashboard warning light, a/c, headlights, etc. Turns on and off. Dealer recommended to remove everything from the key chain (?!)so they knew then that there is an issue with the ignition switch. It helped for a while until same thing happened february 2013, but this time engine stalled for a couple seconds. I took it to the dealer and called chrysler.chrysler said it's going to be my problem until nhtsa issues official recall.dealer will charge me $360 for a new ignition switch tomorrow. All 2006 jeep owners - if you have the same problem - don't just read this, file a complaint. Looks like this is the only way to wake up chrysler.

I was driving on california state route 20 eastbound in the curves past the omega rest stop, at 6:00 am, when all of the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated.the instrument lights went out, and several seconds later illuminated again, they when out again and illuminated a third time, at which point the headlights on the car shut off.it was a very frightening event.i was able to flick the steering wheel headlight control and the lights came back on.i immediately took my foot off of the gas when the headlights went out, because i was in a curve section of a mountain highway.luckily, a pull out was a quarter mile ahead and i was able to get off the road.i called aaa roadside assistance and they dispatched a tow truck to tow the car back to grass valley/nevada city.two warning lights remained on the dash until the lights were turned off and the car towed.a light on the upper right with a car and a swag and a light in middle.abs ?at the local repair shop, they found no codes to indicate any type of failure.the car has been taken since to magnussen's jeep dealer in auburn, california and they have been unable to detect any problem.a similar event happened to my husband in 2008 approximately and the repair facility was unable to determine a problem.i have worked in truckee, ca and have commuted to work since 2001 on this road in several vehicles( (including two other jeeps).i have never had a similar incident and i believe it is a serious safety issue.when the repair facility was unable to detect a problem, my husband and i began looking into the problem on this website and others and believe that our incident is not unique andreflects a substantial defect with this vehicle.additionally, our compound low gear has not worked since the last recall was performed at the jeep dealer in roseville, ca

Stopped at a stop sign, went to pull out and the motor was dead.

My vehicle started originally slowing down like it slipped out of gear. I was told i needed a new transmission but when i replaced it i still had the same exact problem with the vehicle staying in limp mode and check engine light on, rpm running high and not going into overdrive. The transmission is not shifting correctly after spending over $1500.00 on it. From my research i have arrived at the esm to be causing the problem with the vehicle not indicating what gear for the transmission to shift into. I have called the jeep corporate office and even though they know that the transmission needed a repair when i first bought it with 17,000 miles on it they still did not feel they were responsible for my transmission problems. To me that are just avoiding the fact that this is a manufacture issue with either poor design, construction or quality of parts. I had a 1994 amigo that i put 280,000 miles on and i never once had any type of transmission issue. This is a 2006 vehicle this is the poorest experience i have ever had with a vehicle.

Takata recall sensor goes off while driving and no air bag deployment
Randomly, my car wouldn't start and i would think that the battery went dead. Then, another jeep owner told me to put my foot on the brake and jiggle the shifter, and that it should work. This worked and after about a year of utilizing this work around, the car felt like it was slipping in between gears as i was driving. It felt like it was fishtailing, however i would see the auto-steering and abs lights pop up on the dashboard and it felt like the car was losing control. I took it to several mechanics whom would check the starter, realign, do more random testing and the problem persisted. After thousands of dollars and hours spent trying to identify the issue, i eventually received a recall notice in the mail telling me that there was indeed a major issue, however the part needed to correct it was unavailable and more needed to be manufactured. It also stated that ishouldn't drive the vehicle, but rent a car until the part was available and that the cost would be reimbursed eventually, once a part was available to repair the issue. I could not afford to rent a car for an unknown amount of time... And the part remained unavailable for the duration of the time that i owned it. I tool it to a mechanic at one point, explained to them about the recall which they were familiar with, and they replaced my starter, hoping that this would make the car "safer" until the part was available. It did help, however did not rectify the issue. By the time the part became available, i had already spent thousands trying to fix it and had traded it in to a dealership when i took on a lease. Now it doesn't seem to matter how much money i spent trying to fix the issue prior to the part being available as they are only willing to reimburse you for the specific recall itself. Maybe had i been calling them from a hospital room as a result of an accident, they would feel differently.

While entering on ramp for highway jeep shuts off... No more control since no power. Hit the guard rail. This stalling happen on many occasions while driving or in park. With passengers in vehicle very scary. Have spent more than $4000 @ dealer @ & manufacturer involved. With no resolution...but the stress & the dissatisfaction in the american product i'd like to buy that can't be fixed. I'm convinced i'll probably never buy american again. Very disappointed on how jeep corporate handled the issue & left me with vehicle with these problems & told me case closed... Trade it in.

Was driving vehicle when my warning lights came on and i lost power to the vehicle including power steering and power brakes. I pulled the vehicle over, turned the ignition off and started the vehicle again. Proceeded to drive the car and once again lost power however when i touched the key or gave it gas it restarted. When i got home, i once again had the warning lights come on as if i was in auxiliary power and lost power to the jeep. This was a very dangerous situation that could have caused an accident had i been on either road during rush hour.

My car was recalled in september 2014 by recall # p41/nhtsa 14v-438 to replace the ignition switch. Since then i have checked with safercar.gov and my dealer repeatedly and am informed that no remedy is available. On 10-20-15 i got anotherrecall for the same reason.again, on safercar.gov it says no remedy available. I want fca to fix my car.the ignition switch has failed off and on since mid 2014 when the car had about 85,000 miles.it still fails at least a couple of times a month.the recall notice said to drive the car only with the ignition key in the switch.i have removed all other keys and the switch still fails. When the switch fails the car keeps running but all interior electrical stuff stops and all the warning lights go on.this is very distracting and i have nearly lost control due to being startled and by trying to restore the car to proper operation.what's taking it so long for fca to recall my car and fix the problem?

While driving home on the interstate last night,my dash lights and my head light flash on and off and sometimes they go off and will not come back on. I have taken it to the dealership and they told me they could not find the problem,and i would have to let it get worse and it would have to happen when they were driving it to see what was wrong with it..it needs to be fixed soon before it causes a crash and someone gets hurt.

Purchased the 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) new from dealership.it stalls unexpectedly.usually at low speeds.most of the time while turning.it does it probably once every two or three months, which makes it next to impossible to duplicate at the dealership.in addition, no codes are ever tripped, leaving no proof of an existing problem.we have taken it to the dealership on three separate occasions over the years while it was still under warranty, however, the dealerships maintained that if they could not duplicate the problem, they could not fix the problem, leaving it unresolved.the jeep now has over 100k on it (out of warranty) and it continues to stall.what i find odd, is that this particular problem was happening to thousands of people with jeeps like mine over the years, but on the three separate occasions we took it into the dealership, they acted like they had never heard of the problem.how is this possible?

I have received notice of a recall, p41 / nhtsa 14v-438 dated 9/3/2014. I have received multiple notices that this ignition switch failure may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags.each time i contact the dealer who states they don't have the parts to fix it yet.i believe that having to wait over a year for a new ignition switch to fix a safety issue is unreasonable and irresponsible.i'm sure if i had a broken ignition switch any other time they would replace it quickly.i want my vehicle properly fixed, in a reasonable amount of time, over a year is not reasonable.

I purchased vehicle 2 weeks ago, november 115, 2012. Over a period of several days, all lights on . Instrument cluster light-up, gauges go crazy, loose power and ability to operate vehicle. Very dangerous situation since i was on highway at highway speeds. Also, headlights begin to flicker off-on at a high rate causing a dangerous situation. I have researched online and found numerous similar complaints for jeep. I went to my local jeep dealer today...no help. Called jeep hotline, 800-992-1997, no help, claim they havent had a problem. This is a safety issue and jeep should stand behind their product.

Since the day i purchased my certified used 2006 jeep grand cherokee, the interior instrument panel and dash lights have malfunctioned. The brightness flickers from low to very high, which is very distracting at night, some of the panel controls have since completely stopped working, and several times, all of the warning lights on the dash (seatbelt, airbag, check engine, etc) flash on and off while driving. This has happened at numerous speeds and times of the day. I video taped several incidents on my cell phone to prove it. Took it to the dealer and they said they can't duplicate the problem and the video means nothing. It happens more often, or is more noticeable, at night. They checked it in the daytime. Made no offer of any solution.

At approximately 78k miles, vehicle would occasionally start and the only system that was operational was the radio.i cleaned and inspected all connectors that i could access, and problem appeared to go away.then just after the warranty expired (80k miles) intermittent electrical issues have begun to appear.the transmission sometimes "sticks" in 3rd gear, the windshield wipers fail to function and when i attempt to turn them on it crashes the powertrain control module which then begins running random system errors, and the headlights sometimes turn off or fail to come on.
Over the last 2 months, my 2006 jeep grand cherokee has completely shut off unexpectedly while driving. On 4 occasions. The first occasion was 9/30 (35,123 miles)i read the manual that indicated that the engine light could mean a variety of things and it suggested that if the light remained on after a couple of uses to call the dealer.the light went off after two cycles.it occurred 3 weeks later. I made an appointment at a jeep dealer to correct the problem. The 3rd time it shut of was on the way to the dealer to have it checked.the vehicle was checked by a dealer who could not offer any explanation for the problem.the 4th occasion was on thanksgiving day.) just prior to the car completely shutting down, i heard an unusual sound under the hood, all gauges failed, and i lost all power causing the car to stop.this was extremely dangerous with three of the occasions occurring at intersection as i was pulling out.fortunately i was able to drift off the side of the road.after drifting off the road and shutting the car off and re-starting the car it would run normally although the engine light remained on.after taking it to the dealer i was told that the problem could not be replicated and nothing could be done.i explained that the problem was very dangerous the dealer said that perhaps if the service tech could drive the vehicle the problem could be diagnosed.the vehicle was left at the dealer for 4 days but the tech could not replicate the problem.the dealer offered no explanation for this extremely dangerous problem.i am now reluctant to drive thevehicle and my wife refuses to drive it for fear it will shut off and cause an accident.the problem again occurred on thanksgiving day.i immediately called the dealer again and explained that it had occurred again.i was told to they were very busy on friday and that i should bring the vehicle in on monday.help i have a vehicle that i cannot safely drive.
I was driving east on the pennsylvania turnpike from pittsburgh, pa to york, pa with my wife and 1 year old daughter on the friday of memorial day weekend. I was driving between 70-75 mph in the left hand lane when i noticed i had lost acceleration, power steering, and all of my interior lights had turned off. The entire vehicle had shut off. This easily could have caused a horrific accident as there was a ton of traffic behind me and on the road. Fortunately, i was going down a hill and i was able to maintain speed for enough time to safelydrift my car into the right lane and eventually over to the side of the road. Once pulled over, i had difficulty shifting my vehicle into park and turning off the ignition. After a few minutes of attempting to shut it off, i was able to get the key out of the ignition. I waited about 5 or so minutes and was able to start the vehicle without a problem. I stayed in the right hand lane the rest of the trip and eventually made it to my destination safely. When i got home, i took the vehicle to three rivers chrysler jeep and dodge in pittsburgh, pa. .i was told i needed to replace the ignition switch and the "wire control module". With all of the recalls in the news regarding chrysler and gm ignition switches, i would not be surprised if this was a defect in jeep as well. The experience i had was very frightening and i hope others do not have the same problems.

My 2006 jeep grand cherokee continually has a problem with the entire control panel shutting down, gauges going to zero, a/c stopping, and headlights turning off when they are on.recently the vehicle stabilization lights came on and a terrible grinding noise made.this has probably happened 30 times over the past year.it usually happens in about a 5-10 second time span.this past week it stayed that way for around 15 minutes.as sounds typical, the dealership says nothing is showing up.i've had it to an independent shop and the chrysler dealership.this page is literally covered up with the same problem.why is there not enough evidence on this one site (many others contain this same complaint) to do something about this?do i just have to take it to the shop forever and spend money only to never get anyone to fix it, or do i wait until i have a horrible accident?i don't really have the money to scrap an unsafe vehicle and start over with nothing.what am i supposed to do?

A year and a half ago i was on my way back home from a half an hour drive from town when i decided to stop at my parents house to get a drink. I wasn't inside for less then ten minutes, when i went to leave my jeep would not start at all. After a half hour later looking everything over i did notice the fuel pump fuse was melted and blown. I was asked bye american chevrolet dealership if i had something plugged into my cigarette lighter that could of blown it. I've been a mechanic for 11 years now and i've never known to see the fuel pump fuse ran to other components meaning interior outlets. Now a half year later i have been having problems starting my jeep at times and having no power to the motor at all. I want to get rid of this jeep. Now i had a recall on the neutral safety switch and just today i get another recall for the ignition switch. I keep having axel popping sounds out of the front passenger side and i'm fed up with this jeep.

I received arecall notice (p41/nhtsa 14v-438) from chrysler about 6 to 8 months ago. My dealer says still waiting on parts. I have followed their instructions andremoved keys from jeep key. Dash lights have started blinking on and off, this give me no information when off (speed, etc.). I can hold key and lights will stay on. This does not happen all the time just some time. Isn't 8 months a long time to wait to get this repair because this could result in loss of engine power, and braking leading to a crash..

Takata recall i have been having problems where my jeep randomly shuts off in the middle of the road. I have usually been on city streets, some times i can be sitting in one spot, moving really slow, or even hit a bump and it shuts down.
My jeep has constant flicker of dash lights and acting like it is gonna stall . Can't have radio on if lights are on or air if lights are on because i get the flicker and feeling of stalling.when i called dealership about this they told me they haven't been told about this problem. They told me to bring it in for a charge of 100.00 $ and they would check it out. Really..its getting to be a piece of crap that we get blown off about this!
I was told at the dealer i bought it from that all the recalls had been done. I have a service 4-wheel drive light now. The jeep seems to go into neutral at random times. Right after it is started and driving on the road.this was a used jeep that i bought in dec. 2016. Shorty after i bought the jeep the check engine light came on showing an emission code and then the transmission quit working. The transfer control quit working after they worked on it. I no longer have 4-wheel low or can i put it into neutral. But it seems to shift into neutral at random times. I have no control on if or when it will shift into neutralso i guess at this point i have yard art. The dealer just wants to throw parts at it until its fixed. They claim there is nothing wrong with the jeep.or we don't know what could be wrong with the jeep but we will fix it to the tunes of thousands of $

While driving in normal dry conditions this past evening unexpectedly all my interior gauges and dash electronics started flickering on and off to include the radio, hazard lights and everything inside.at the same time i realized i was also loosing my exterior headlights and also brake control because my car was essentially running but with no electronics.it started making a weird grinding pulsating noise that would accompany the flickering lights.this forced me to exit the road at a gas station.it then stopped and i began driving again only to have it resume shortly.thankfully i was close to my destination and was able to shut the vehicle off for the night. This has happened occasionally in the past couple months during the day but this is my first night experience. I thought it was just a glitch but it is definitely getting worse and has become regular.the next morning i was able start and drive my vehicle to work and it repeated this behavior a couple more times.at days end i went to leave and now my jeep won't start and hasn't for two days.all the electronics come on but when i turn the key it just clicks.i also had this problem in the past but when my mechanic looked at it he was unable to duplicate the problem.

I purchased a certified used 2006 jeep grand cherokee in 2008 with 26k miles. Besides a malfunctioning electronic shifter in 2009 everything has been running great until 1/2/2011. At approximately 6:30pm while driving on the freeway at 65mph all exterior lights and interior lights (except for the map lights) began to flicker and then fail. The lights would come back on for a few seconds and then fail. The problem occurred intermittently over the next 30 miles and persistently worsened until i got home when the lights remained off for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. Each time it failed while driving i cycled the switch, cycled the brights and tried anything i could to get the lights to stay on. None of these methods worked. Upon getting home safely i turned the car off and restarted it only to have the same problem after two restarts. I went to bed and tried it in the morning and the lights worked fine for a 70 mile daylight drive to the dealer. Just received word from the dealer that they could not replicate the failure so there is nothing they can do. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and dangerous to others on the road in this condition even if it only happens once every two years.

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 differential has an issue. I've gotten most of the front-end replaced: tire-rods, ball-joints, cv-shafts/axles, struts, stabilizer links and more. Now when turning the truck, there seems to be a lack of power as well. I had the battery and alternator tested and they both came back good. I find it hard to believe that internally the truck just wasn't meant to holdup.

The dash lights started flickering, then the brakes locked up and the jeep just lost power and turned off. This was the first time that the jeep's brakes locked up and lost power and this is enough to cause alarm and resulted with this complaint. I will not wait for a second time that the vehicle's brakes lock up and turns itself off at a more dangerous highway situation on a busy traffic and certainly not putting my family at this type of risk which is obviously a manufacturer's defect. [xxx], a customer service representative from jeep that i have spoken to advised that chrysler could possibly issue a recall if enough number of complaints were received from nhtsa.am i really supposed to wait until my family gets injured before something gets done with this known issue?the dash lights/gauges issue has been ongoing and jeep had been contacted a few years back to no avail. I also advised [xxx] (jeep rep) about all four handles breaking at the same time.i had to open the door from the outside to let my daughter and her friend get out of the backseat. These handles should not break at all due to it's normal use and purpose. I request your department to please investigate this obvious safety issue, and avoid any injuries that this defect could cause.thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Rented 2006 jeep cherokee at airport.during two stops at intersections i reached to switch radio stations and accidentally and lightly brushed the keys in the ignition.they switched to "acc" and the vehicle turned off.when i say "lightly brushed" i mean just that.i wasn't even aware of what had happened until the second incident.two things appear defective:the placement of the ignition and the fact that just a light touch turns the key off.had i done that while driving, the car would have immediately been inoperable and a dangerous situation would have occurred.
2006 grand cherokee ignition switched off when brakes were applied.while driving athighway speeds the vehicle ignition suddenly shut off when the brake was applied.the consumer believes the problem was the result of the location of the ignition switch.it was only on inch above the consumer's knee cap when his foot was on the throttle.when he lifted his foot off the throttle to apply the brake his knee would touch the key and the ignition would shut off.the vehicle was a rental.
I read about the recall on the 2007 wrangler and nitros.it soundedlike the same problem.ihad 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 sawsimilar 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.

While driving a rented 2006 jeep grand cherokee on an interstate highway, the engine stopped running.i was able to steer the vehicle to the shoulder and restart the engine.i drove cautiously without further incidents.on the return trip on a state highway, the engine unexpectedly stopped.again, i safely steered the vehicle to the shoulder and restarted the engine.this time, i realized that moving my right leg while driving, my right knee had hit the key and moved it to the "off" position.both incidents did not result in an accident since the roadway was empty of other vehicles.
P41 - chrysler recall - faulty ignition switch the parts are still not available to fix my vehicle. My vehicle is unable to be driven due to the deteriorating nature of the faulty ignition switch. I have video evidence to support my claims that the vehicle i own is malfunctioning and the safety-recall notice is now over 6 months old. Chrysler has not provided any of the affected owners a solution to the problem and refuses to reimburse the affected owners. As per your website the manufacturer has not provided a reasonably timely solution without cost to owners. See below:***-a description of what the owner can do if the owner is unable to have the problem corrected within a reasonable time and without charge.*** (this was taken directly from your website ie what needs to be on a recall notice)driving my 2006 jeep grand cherokee without having the problem fixed is not an option, as a loss of brakes, steering and even airbags being unresponsive and would result in my injury or death. The notice says simply to remove extra keys from the swab and to move the seat back. Excellent precautions i am sure but my problem continues to arise nonetheless. Driving down a highway at 55 mph and having a loss of power to your dash, a loss of brakes, and potentially nonworking airbags make this a recipe for disaster. I am floored at the fact a major corporation has issued a recall notice, only for 6 months to have passed with no solution in the future. I have contacted chrysler and jeep both several times to check on the status of the fix, all to receive no word or notice of when the parts will become available. I have asked several times if i could have the vehicle fixed and then have chrysler reimburse me, and was denied. I am hopeful that you will be able to answer some of these questions as chrysler and jeep and not been able to. Thank you and have a nice day.

2006 grand cherokee engine shuts down when the driver gently grazes the ignition switch. The ignition switch is located low on the vehicle's dashboard rather than on the vehicle's steering column, where is has been located on previous models.the switch's new location resulted in frequent contact with the driver's knee, especially when the driver is moving his or her foot from the throttle to the brake.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer and is currently being diagnosed. An electronic diagnostic test on feb 22, 2007 indicated due to the performance liilluminating the vehicle needed a new ignition switch.the vehicle's current and failure mileage was 18,300.
The ignition switch on my car has been recalled by jeep. Currently they are telling me that the car is "operable" so i can drive it until the part comes in, but they have no idea when the part will be available. This recall causes the loss of power steering and can cause the car to stall at any time.. Yet they consider this operable. Today my car stalled due to this recall and i came very close to rolling into another car. They are telling me that they will not offer a rental because the car still turns on. I feel this is inexcusable and unsafe because i am out driving around in a car that can stall on any point in time. (i do a lot of highway driving, and this is very dangerous to my life.) i feel they should be responsible for providing a rental in this situation.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving at various speeds the ignition switch cameoff 4 times while driving due to light contact from contact's right knee. Both the dealer and manufacturer were contacted.updated 05/16/2006 - a complaint was registeredwith daimler/chrysler, and contact met with the general manager of the dealership.the service department at the dealership already knew about the problem. The service manager told the general manger that the problem was caused by key chains. However, the contact had removed the key from the key chain and still experienced the problem.since the vehicle was inoperative the contact had to trade it in and experienced a huge financial loss.

This concerns an unsafe design of suv.i rented a 2006 jeep cherokee in jan.2006 from avis rental car company.i am a frequent renter and rent a wide variety of autos. I was driving in heavy traffic when the jeep all of a sudden would not accelerate.being a very experienced driver i looked at the rpm gauge and noticed that the rpm was on "0?? indicating the jeep was not running.the radio was still playing (as this is a feature commonly available that the radio will play after the auto is switched until the door is opened).i shifted into neutral and restarted the jeep.it was not until latter that day that i realized what had happen because it happens again. In the cherokee, the key switch is located low in the dash facing the driver. This location of the key switch and the combination of a large key with a self-contained remote electronic door opener make it possible that the top of my knee could hit the key switch and effectively switch off the auto while in motion.i was able to asset the problem and react accordingly but if had been my wife or my 17 year old daughter it could have resulted in a serious accident that other wise would have been unexplainable. With the auto switched off many of the auto's systems do not work.please look into this as could save someone's life!!!
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 70 mph, the dashboard failed to illuminate. The failure occurred numerous times while driving. The dealer stated that the automatic car starter was unhooked and caused the failure. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) and was concerned that the failure was related to the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Fuses keep coming lose and causing abs to go off when you start off to drive and other error msgs to light up. Push back down and its good for a while.
Traction control light flickers causing loss of power and the vehicle would surge even on incline, check engine light appear at random times and turns off on its own it gives codes u404 and another code witch i cant recall off the top of my head. Accelerating from the start will hesitate and feellimited to power .transmission hard shifts at time and clunks forward when decelerating then accelerating .
It shows transmission over heat, many times we just ran like 2 -3 miles.
Warning lights on dash service 4 wheel drive. Skid control. Check engine light.esp.bas. Shift indicator intermittent radio plop. Speed control control inop
Update:the braking system, primary and emergency, failed at approximately 6:30 am 5/13/2008. My wife was unable to bring the vehicle under control traveling down an unpaved hill and had a head-on collision with a boulder. We have called the attorney and we are awaiting a call bck at this time. Chrysler and scheid are going to wish they never heard of me now.they can shove their bs "repurchase" offers up their'!@#$%.
Engine suddenly stops, all lights on dashboard come on, unable to steer properly and control vehicle...breaking doesn't work well either when this happens..on occassion i have been able to re-start the engine immediately but the check engine light comes on and stays on for a few days.has happened while driving, while parked, while idling in traffic...i only have the ignition key in use i do not have a heavy key chain.extremely scary when this has happened on interstate!!please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.i have taken it to a shop several times and they cannot find anything and tell me there are no recalls on my vehicle.
Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.). After a few minutes of blinking and going dark, everything begins to work again, but the check engine light comes on. This exact scenario has happened multiple times. Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year. In once instance, i was driving around the city going 10-15 mph and this scenario happened and the brakes were not working properly and the car was very hard to turn. Everytime i have brought the car to the dealer they try to pull a code and nothing is available for them. At this point i am fed up so i am officially reporting the issue. It is completely unsafe to be driving when this happens, especially when you are on the highway. Let's hope something is officially done before anyone gets hurt.
First, crank but no start for problem for 2 years found it was the tipm that cost me $300, now it's a problem with the fdcm, the jeep would not drive forward, i've gotton stuck on the roads many times without no warning something with the program. Help me!!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the gear automatically shifted into neutral. The abs, and traction control warning lights illuminated. The independent mechanic borchert motors located at 18295 faribault blvd faribault mn, 55021; (507) 334-7271 was contacted where the mechanic stated that there were several recalls for this year, make, and model. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 800-247-9753. The manufacturer stated that there was only one recall for the ignition switch. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. A case number was not provided. The failure mileage was 90,000.
At approx. 110k miles the esb, trac and bas indication lights came on and would not turn off. The dealership checked and said that the brake pressure sensor and steering angel sensors had to be replaced.
My 2006 jeep grand cherokee continually has a problem with the entire control panel shutting down, gauges going to zero, a/c stopping, and headlights turning off when they are on. Recently the vehicle stabilization lights came on and a terrible grinding noise made. This has probably happened 30 times over the past year. It usually happens in about a 5-10 second time span. This past week it stayed that way for around 15 minutes.
My car accelerates after releasing the brake and sometimes it switches into neutral and i'm unable to accelerate.this happens when im driving straight or making a turn.my car also shuts completely off while im in the middle of driving.the lights flash on the dashboard and then they all come back on
While driving my vehicle, the a/c, dash, and power steering shut down. Additionally, this casuea the brakes to lock up. This is a direct issue with the ignition. When the key is in the "on" position, the vehicle acts as if it were in the "off" position. This issue has put me in multiple situations where i feared an accident was imminent. I called my local jeep dealership which informed me that the replacement part was not yet available. I was encouraged to call chrysler's main office to get an update. They advised me that it was not yet available and that their recommendation was to not drive my vehicle until the recall was available. This vehicle is my only means of transportation, so that is not an option for me. The recall for this part was issued 9/3/14, it is now 6/9/15 and the recalled part still cannot be replaced.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and the esp, abs, check engine, and traction control indicators illuminated on the instrument panel intermittently. The failure occurred on three different occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 54,000.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee srt8 about two weeks ago i was leaving a store at night when i started the jeep the indicator light for my bright lights was on i tried to turn them off nothing happened they were stuck on then i realized i had no turn signals either. When i went inside the store the brights were not on and everything was working fine. I went ahead and drove home without turn signals and my bright lights stuck on about 10 min into my drive everything started working again. Then about a week ago and i turned left to enter a highway everything inside the jeep went black i lost all interior power gauges, instrument panel, radio, ac, lights and fans the jeep stuttered but kept running when this happened everything came back about a minute later. Just now when i was taking a left turn it happened again everything inside the jeep died again and came back on about a minute later. I have already had my ignition recall done also since the recall was done half the time when i try to start the jeep it will just make a clicking sound and i have to turn it over a few times and hold the key in the start position until it will finally start.
Was driving my jeep at night with my infant in the back seat, 55mph. Suddenly all the lights in the dashboard and parking assistance lights in the back all lite up. At the same time the heater stopped working and my headlights went out as well. They came back on about 5 seconds later. I continued to drive when it did it again. I switched the lights out of auto. The same problem occurred again but this time the head lamps did not go out, all the warning lights on the dash still flashed and heat went off. It resumed the whole way home but never fully lost power. It still does this on a daily basis, multiple times. I feel as if it's getting worse but no one can diagnose and figure out what's wrong with it. Considering the airbag warning and others(all of them) light up, i'm concerned for my safety and my sons. Today as i was driving it seemed worse. Even turn signal lights are effected when this happens. Today my speedometer, gas gage... Everything on my dashboard lite up and my meters quit working. It all resumed as normal after it happened but it happened approximately 15 times during a 10 minute drive. Sometimes back to back to back. It also happened while sitting at a stop light when i noticed my turn signals also went out at that time, while stationary and while turning. Happens no matter if stationary or in motion.
I had then23 recall done on my jeep and it no longer shifts into 4 low. Chrysler isnt putting out a real fix to this problem that they created.
Aug 21 2014.the interior dome light was left in the on position, which drained the car battery completely.upon recharging the battery all of the lights in the drivers console where on, the electronic stability control light was on, the air bag light was on, the check engine light was on.upon taking it to a jeep dealership was informed that the vin in the onboard computer had been corrupted as well as saying that the traction control and the airbags were not functional until this had been resolved.dec 5 2013.the battery had gone bad and needed be replaced.once a new battery was installed the exact same thing happened with the vin in the onboard computer being corrupted. The traction control and the airbags were also not working. Had to take the jeep back to the dealership to have the computer reprogrammed with the correct vin.
I initially purchased this jeep at 45,000 miles. It now has 98,000 miles. This issue has now happened at least 5 times in this time span. The first few times i thought it may be just a coincidence but now it is starting to scare me that there could be an issue. Because it can not be replicated at the mechanic,s no one can pinpoint what the problem could be. The jeep will just die spontaneously. There is no warning that it is coming. Luckily i have always been going slow through a parking lot with no other cars in my way. I am able to control the car to a stop and then restart it. This past week i became more nervous however as it happened while i was making a left turn from a major street on to a residential street. I was able to control the car to the side of the residential road while turning however, if there had been cars on the street i was making the left too or i had not given more time for the cars coming at me during the turn this could have equaled a major accident. I am seeing through my research that i am not the only one experiencing this.
Sequence of events:this has been my sons car since i purchased in 2008.[xxx] who was at college in greensboro, nc.[xxx] phoned me one evening, april 17, 2013 and stated that his jeep would not go out of 2nd gearand all lights came on and named the engine light?, ?bas?, traction control etc.he also stated that ?it jerks when accelerating and stopping?.he parked the car and my husband/[xxx] called cottman transmission in greensboro the morning of april 18th.we were told that nothing showed on the diagnostics and they needed to take out the transmission to assess.the cost would be $450.after taking out the transmission, we were told that it needed complete replacement.they proceeded with the transmission replacement and my son picked up the jeep on april 24th.i paid $2,185.77. As cottman stated the power train control module? was the original cause of problems with this vehicle.i never received a recall notice for any part on this jeep, possibly because the dealership i purchased it from closed several years ago. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Purchased 2006 jeep grand cherokee new. Within first 6 months have been taking it bake to the dealer for intermittent lack/stalling. This happens while driving at different speeds and mostly making slight turns or when i begin to turn as well as up and down hill. This has been going on for the last 2 yrs,but most recently has happened alot more offend. I have taken it to the dealer with no result each time. Within the last 2 weeks is has stalled at least 7 times. 9/27/08 i was injured from slamming the breaks and fighting the steering to avoid a head on collision at an intersection while starting to make a turn. I did take it to the dealer and again with no result. The day i dropped it off at the dealer it shut down in their lot. I was told that this would have been recorded in the codes,but they told me they found nothing. The next day it stalled while dropping my son off at school. He was with me when i was injured so i can prove it does happen. I did call the dealer back and that was 3 days ago. They will not return my phone call let alone honor my warranty. This car is not safe.
Takata inflator.i purchased my jeep and after a few months i notice it kept getting stuck in 3rd. Wouldn't come out. Then the message "transmission over temp" would pop up. It would randomly just loose all power and cut off as i would be driving. I had it looked at. Checked the codes bc check engine light would pop up also. Multiple codes were in the history pertaining to the issue. I was going to get everything fixed until i was told to contact jeep first bc there might be some recalls that others were experiencing my same problem. I would of paid for it regardless to fix the problems. It had numerous recalls. Made an appointment to mckinney dodge in easley,sc. After fixing the recalls i have paperwork for a few months later was doing it again. I work in a service dept. So i asked one my techs if it was same problem as the recalls and did i need to call dealership back. They said yes. Called mckinney and they refused to set me an appointment and said the problems had nothing to do with the recalls they fixed. After having several tows and stranded and almost wrecking with my children in the car going down the highway and just dies, i'm beyond frustrated and no one can seem tell me how to fix. After reading several reviews and recall information, my issues are everything with my recalls. My airbag light go on and off also. They never touched that and it's also a recall. I need to know what i need to do bc i'm not waiting for an accident or death bc this vehicle. It's my only car and i've tried to pay myself and had recalls fixed and problem is still there. I've contacted a lawyer. I want it fixed or i want another vehicle.
All warning lights came on and gauges shut down while driving on the highway. After getting off the highway, and it did it again then my vehicle completely shut down. I then restarted my car and the check engine light stayed on. I have filed a complaint in 2013 with your department and with chrysler. I again talked to chrysler today and they are telling me there's noting they can do to fix it at this time, because they don't have the parts available. I'm afraid that this can lead to a bigger problem if it shuts down while on the highway. What can i do to get this resolved?
I received a recall notice n23 which said that i needed to call my local jeep chrysler service center as soon as possible to have the work done because the problem could cause a crash. I have been trying to call at least a couple of times a week since i have received this notice about 7 months ago and they told me that i am on a waiting list for the part. Nothing can be done until they get the part. Since then, the problems continue to get worse. Last night, i almost crashed as i lost control of the steering because the jeep seemed to lost control and died momentarily as the lights on my control panel were flashing. I was told it was all due to the key switch but i have now noticed that as the lights are all blindingly flashing there is a grinding noise that sounds like it is coming from under the car near the front. I am not a mechanic so i have no idea and i don't have money to take my jeep in and have them "try" to figure out what is going on and then charge me for possibly figuring it out. This is unacceptable! we have been waiting for almost seven months for parts that the notice says "please hurry!!! call the express service hotline 1-866-849-3608 right now to schedule your free repair". Is it because it is free repair that there is no hurry to get this fixed? i have a child! i almost wrecked. If anyone had been around me or i had been in a curve when i lost the ability to steer after the car died, we could have been killed or we could have killed someone else! i need help now!!!
All the lights on my instrument panel started flashing and i lost the ability to see my speedometer, the fan was not blowing and this continued until the lights started flashing. The check 4wd system came on and has stayed on. The check 4wd system light came on not long after i bought it and i took it back to the dealership and i was told that it is because there are aluminum parts that get stuck and you can ignore it. That it was working fine. I rarely use my 4wd system and the check engine light would go off normally after i turned the car off. This started happening more frequently and now the lights flashing on my instrument panel is happening all of the time. The check 4wd system light has stayed on for the last few months.
Abs eas and traction controll warning lights on again with service 4wd system message after completing 1st recall, vehicle was just started and put in to drive acceleration to 12 mph causes bad grinding noise and loss of power just about enough to get you in to the middle of an intersection very dangerous then it seems to catch and regains power the warning lights stay on and you can drive it all day with no issues but as soon as you turn it off and back on it will do it again.
I was contacted in mail about a recall on my jeep.recall was for ignition switch.i have contacted chrysler group recall assistance center numerous times and have yet to get anything fixed.
I received notice of recall for ignition switch over a year ago.i believe my car experienced this issue on numberous occassions, to which, prior to recall, jeep "couldn't find problem"and would do nothing to reconcile my safety concerns.i could not apply lemon law.i contacted jeep dealer, mystic, ct again after recall notice and they stated they didn't have parts and i would have to wait to be contacted by jeep to repair.my jeep was on highway multiple times when this happened; all of gauges would drop to off position, lights would flash on and off--somehow it would correct itself.upon bringing it to dealership multiple times, it somehow stopped.then incident approximately 2.5 years ago-parking car in lot-everything "locked" including steering and braking-rolled until car stopped on its own-took key out of ignition-waited, restarted and car was fine. Don't have exact dates but mystic ct jeep has record of all times car brought in.
I bought my 06 jeep in march of 2015 and had problems with it ever since. First incident happend right after i bought car. Pulled in to mcdonalds drive through and steering wheel locked up on me and dashboard lights lite up all of them. Scared the crap out of me. Same things happened at least 6 other times where the steering wheel would lock up and truck would shut off. I was sitting at a stop light when the dashboard lights lit up and then truck died. Truck will appear to be racing at times when i barly hit gas.i had my 5 year old granddaught with me and the truck shut off while i was driving going about 45 miles. I never was so scared in my life. All i could image was me and my precious granddaughter dying. I was so scared, i could notdrive for a day or twoto settle my nerves. Please help !!!!!. I think that chrysler needs to pay for rentals till issue is fixed or have trucks replaced before someone dies. !!!!!!!
The car shut off lost all power control panel went out while driving at 45 miles per hour i quickly wiggled the key(ignition switch ) and the car began to run again

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.

My 2006 jeep grand cherokee lardeo has all the same issues as listed by every other jeep owner.the engine randomly shuts off while driving down the road,the dash board and headlights flicker on and off constantly.sometimes we start sometimes we dont. When pulling out into traffic , maybe it will go, maybe it wont. I have lost my brakes on several occasions as well.now the jeep sits in my driveway as it wont start at all, and of coarse nobody can tell me what is wrong with it as usual !nothing like paying for a dead horse ! i have contacted the chrysler corporation only to be told these are not "safety" issues.good lord what does it take to get a decent vehicle that is safe and reliable ?i guess that would be not buying anything chrysler, dodge, jeep in the future is the route i will take ! i only hope when one of these ticking bombs fail, my family and friends arent on the road that day !

Ignition key failure and electrical issues with locks. Vehicle will not start at frequent and in frequent times. Vehicle seems to think that there is a key in the ignition. Dealer has looked at and replaced on previous recall. Problem is not fixed and vehicle will leave you stranded. Took back to dealer and they can't find issue! vehicle was stopped and stationary. Does not start when key is inserted and vehicle is parked.
I am now going on my 3rd incident with this problem! i lose all lights and gauges on my dashboard. Heat turns off and most importantly, my ignition turned off on me and made a grinding sound and i had to pull over. Each time i had cars behind me and thankfully neither i nor the car behind me were injured. All the lights flicker and gauges go all the way down to where i can not tell how fast i am going. My most recent incident was on february 28th, 2015, i was at a stop sign and when it was my turn to go my lights flickered for a second then all gauges went down and the grinding started, it was as if i was trying to drive on neutral, so i then moved to the side because i had a car behind me and the car stopped. I shut it off completely and waited a few minutes before turning it back on. I drive on the expressway 60 miles a day to and from work, i am scared of causing an accident. I took my car previously to auto zone to see why my engine light is on and they checked it and gave me a code of u1411. I looked it up and it has to do with the ignition recall that was sent to me about my car. I have also called a few dealers to see if the part is in and was told no. I have a 5 year old daughter and i'm scared to have her in the car with me because of this! i need for something to be done asap!
The left rear exhaust manifold bolt broke causing an exhaust leak must be an issue with the 2006 seen other reports of the same bolt breaking, car was in motion city street
I purchased vehicle 2 weeks ago, november 115, 2012. Over a period of several days, all lights on . Instrument cluster light-up, gauges go crazy, loose power and ability to operate vehicle. Very dangerous situation since i was on highway at highway speeds. Also, headlights begin to flicker off-on at a high rate causing a dangerous situation. I have researched online and found numerous similar complaints for jeep. I went to my local jeep dealer today...no help. Called jeep hotline, 800-992-1997, no help, claim they havent had a problem. This is a safety issue and jeep should stand behind their product.
While driving dashboard lights will all come on similar to what happens when you start the car. Other electronic components (radio, odometer) stop but engine continues to run. Can steer and brake but difficult. No error messages received.this has continued to happen with no warning over the past 9 months. Multiple mechanics have looked at the car but cannot identify a problem. It seems that many people have complained about similar problems.
I was driving home from work at night and my vehicle died on the railroad tracks crossing just at that moment there was a train approaching and i freaked out but was able to get the vehicle restarted. There continued to be issues with the vehicle shutting down but as i need to go to work i have no choice but to keep driving it.

My pregnant wife has had this issue before with the car and we took it to the dealership without anyone being able to fix it. While driving between 15-60 mph the car completely shuts down.no power steering, brakes, or electrical.you have to throw it in neutral and start it back up.this has to be an electrical issue as other quirky things have been happening as well such as the headlights will flicker on and off and the volume and stations selectors on the steerwheel often do not work properly.this is an issue that jeep needs to identify and fix.very scary to be going 50-60 mph and lose control of your car going down the highway.over the past two days this has happened three times.i have done research online as well and there are plenty of other jeep owners that have this same issue.jeep needs to have a recall for this issue.i am shocked that this has not happened yet.
While turning right into a parking lot at low speed, my knee brushed the key chain/key and ignition turned off while still in drive.has happened once more in the last month in a similar circumstance, both luckily at low speed in empty parking lots.

Like others vehicle has stalled while at low speeds. At random times, took to my mechanic and he never could duplicate the problem. Until, i took it there for an electrical problem and to check out the steering. While he was test driving the car,it stalled on him and still could never find the problem, my lights flicker on the inside, dash over head light all inside lights, at night when i have my lights on, till i turn them very low and still flickers but can't notice it as much, inside lights don't turn on at all when i try to switch them on as well. The air bag light has stayed and been on for a while, my mechanic ran a test on that as air bag is fine but light stays on. I know there where recalls so i called chrysler and they said my car does not qualify under any of the recalls. Now my abs and esp/bas, traction control light are on. At first they came on while i was driving when went to slow down my breaks rattled, the lights came on then went off. Now they have been on and won't turn off. And my cruise control stopped working as well same time. There seems to be nothing that comes up while running test and stuff. My car has 115756 miles on it and these problems keep happening. Also when i start it the car ideals rough and when i'm stopped at a light tried and replaced parts and still does it. I love my jeep and would like to have these problems found out and fix i'm almost done paying it off and want to keep it but it scares me that it's could stall any moment randomly.
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.

I bought the jeep in feb. 2013 and shortly thereafter, while driving on the interstate, the car just shut itself off and everything went dead. This has happened about 2 dozen times since, sometimes going fast and sometimes going slow or pulling into an intersection. There doesn't seem to be a factor that causes it to happen and the mechanic cannot find anything wrong but it is very dangerous.
This complaint is part of an ongoing recall (p41).we have not had an incident with the vehicle.however, i received a recall notice in august about the ignition issue.it is now 6 months later and chrysler still has no information about when the dealerships will have the part available to correct the problem.this is unacceptable.its my opinion that the recall notice was sent to satisfy lawyers in case someone is killed while driving this vehicle, as in, "we sent a recall notice to make you aware of the problem".how long does chrysler have to address this issue before the government gets involved?
While driving under normal road & weather conditions the vehicle began shutting off & on sometimes resulting in a complete stall that required restarting the engine after rolling onto the shoulder without any power! we received a recall notice that details their recommendation that it should be driven without only the key in the ignition as a temporary approach. The problem persist even under this precaution & has become worse! driver has to hold the key while driving when it starts to shut down to avoid the stall.
Engine suddenly stops, all lights on dashboard come on, unable to steer properly and control vehicle...breaking doesn't work well either when this happens..on occassion i have been able to re-start the engine immediately but the check engine light comes on and stays on for a few days.has happened while driving, while parked, while idling in traffic...i only have the ignition key in use i do not have a heavy key chain.extremely scary when this has happened on interstate!!please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.i have taken it to a shop several times and they cannot find anything and tell me there are no recalls on my vehicle.
I bought my vehical used in june. (2006 jeep grand cherokee limited with 160,000 miles) i took it back to dealer where they told me the battery had issues and they "fixed" the problem. I'd be driving and if i came to a stop i would lose all power and my engine would turn off. At a drive through, it would die, at a stop light, die. In october my issues started up again. Now the same things are happening but every light on the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, headlights shut off, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine will run for about 20min then i lose all power where ever i am, i'll be driving down the highway going 55mph and the engine shuts off. Pulling into the store engine shuts off. On my way to work engine just shut off while going down the highway. Coasted as far as i could to get to a safe place to stop. Now it won't start again.
Exhaust manifold bolts broke on 4.7l v8 engine while driving down the street.
The grand cherokee stalled at a light on a hill. Restarted it and but it back in drive but vehicle continued to roll back almost rolling into car behind. Stalled 4 more times but in parking lots and non busy roads. Took it back to dealer where they updated software on computer and said it was fixed. Then stalled on a busy highway and was almost rear ended because vehicle stalled and wouldn't go into gear. Then parked it in parking lot and it stalled in park.
1st recall recieved in 2014 about a moth after purchase said the ignition switch was faulty causing loss of power. To date have had the ignition replaced 2x. It stil looses power while in motion from 45mph to 70mph. Have had many repairs done claiming to fix the problem and nothing has worked. Dealership keeps saying they don't know what the problem is. When it loose all power i have approx. 20 seconds to make it to the shoulder. Have almost been hit several times on the freeway. This happens on a daily basis. My husband and i feel like it may be an electrical shortage somewhere that no one can seem to find
My ignition switched off disabling mostly everything on the vehicle. This was all while doing 75 mph on the interstate. I love jeep but they to get this fixed.
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.

I was driving to work down an incline/hill on 9/2, there was traffic ahead, the engine shut off and the breaks locked.i pulled the e-break and swerved off the side of the road, luckily without any crash. I was able to restart the vehicle but had a tow truck tow it to my local mechanic who verified there was no problem with the breaks, and notified me of the recall p41 on the ignition switch which can cause the engine to shut off and power steering and breaks to lock while driving. The jeep dealership told me not only are the parts not available but they don't know when they will be available and they can't diagnose this as the problem without replicating the problem.this is a known issue so it is unclear to me why the issue would have to be replicated.i have a baby and do not want to drive this car, as recommended by jeep customer service and the dealership, and risk accident to myself or others until the part is in and fixed.i can't believe jeep would ask me to continue driving this vehicle not only knowing there is a risk but an actual problem.i think it's fair that jeep provide me with a safe alternative form of transportation in the meantime.
I have seen several reports of this so figured i would send a copy of this to you as well engine developed a strong miss and lack of power due to running on 7 cylinders.dealer determined that there were burnt valves plus significant sludging of the oil passages.dealer also suspected a crack in the head or block, allowing contamination of oil and coolant.considering the vehicle has run fine and been maintained properly over the last 14 months there is a chance the cracking may have been a defect that took until now to cause enough damage to become a problem.

Mine is doing the same as the rest! and no help from a dealer or anyone! about a month and a half ago i was traveling in cruise at 70mph started to notice every crack in the hwy my headlights would flicker, figured one was going bad. 15 miles later my dash, radio, headlights, and cruise all shut off on me. In the blink of an eye they come back on (including all the warning lights), except for my cruise. Remembering the recall notice, the parts i can't get, and the fact i was a service writer for 8 years at a dealership, i realized my truck had shut off and turned back on (my key never moved). So as i drive on it starts doing it every 20 min or so. The next day on my way home it started doing it again. Now when i drive short distances in the cold (northern wi) it does not happen nearly as much, now longer distance with the heat blowing the whole way it happens regularly, i also notice if i take the key out of the ignition its very warm almost hot.. The last straw was this last weekend, i was making our yearly spring cabin run, traveling at around 35/40 mph on a gravel road my entire truck went dead, key was in the on position and i lost all power to everything , not wanting to lose control, i grabbed for the key ( again going back to the recall) and i literally turned the key from the run position to off to the run position and it restarted (doing this as i'm rolling down a gravel road with no power brakes or steering at 35/40mph). Also noted that it was not just me in the vehicle! i've read, watched videos on this, talked to other owner and now have been dealing with this first hand. After it turning off completely, this is way more dangerous than chrysler is admitting.my next step is putting a new "bad" switch in, if this one made it 80,000 miles why can't the next, however sadly it will be on my dime. Hope this helps and if you have this issue be very careful!
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..
A year and a half ago i was on my way back home from a half an hour drive from town when i decided to stop at my parents house to get a drink. I wasn't inside for less then ten minutes, when i went to leave my jeep would not start at all. After a half hour later looking everything over i did notice the fuel pump fuse was melted and blown. I was asked bye american chevrolet dealership if i had something plugged into my cigarette lighter that could of blown it. I've been a mechanic for 11 years now and i've never known to see the fuel pump fuse ran to other components meaning interior outlets. Now a half year later i have been having problems starting my jeep at times and having no power to the motor at all. I want to get rid of this jeep. Now i had a recall on the neutral safety switch and just today i get another recall for the ignition switch. I keep having axel popping sounds out of the front passenger side and i'm fed up with this jeep.
I have a recall that says that the ignition switch can change position while i am driving causing the car to cut off while driving. This can cause a loss in engine power, powere steering, braking assistance and possible failure of air bags causing an accident.the incident that i describe above occurred on interstate 85.i beleive that was what happened as i was able to coast off the raod to an exit.sat for a while trying to fiqure out what was wrong finally after a while the car started back up and i got to my destination.after reading the article and looking up my vin number which shows this recall i beleive that is what happended. This recall has been pending for more than a year and chrysler still says they don't hav the parts to fix it.the chrysler recall # is 14v-438.
I purchased this car in 8/2012 for my daughter to get to college. It is a 900 mile trip and would be used for local campus driving until her return in 4/2013. We bought the car with the hope of getting 3 years use out of it. On her initial trip down route 95 so. I received a call at 1 am from her in sc telling me the car shut down at 70 mph. The wheel locked up and she lost control of the car and fortunately with the help of her passenger forced the wheel to maneuver to the shoulder. Thank god a tractor trailed was not behind her! i told her to wait and try to start the car. It started a half hour later. This episode continued until she arrived at school the next day. A 15 hour trip took 21 hours. She was frightened to death. We contacted the local chrysler dealer and they told us it was the valve body of the transmission which we replaced ($2100). As it turns out on the return trip the car transmission was over heating and the shutting down scenario continued. We brought it to a local chrysler dealer here in nj and they told us there was problem in the engine and that they would have to take it apart in order to find out what the problem was. I stopped right there. I found out through my local mechanic of 20 years that he read the bulletin on the engine problems from chrysler. It said the valves were not shutting down all the way thus creating carbon in the heads and stalling the engines. I need action from chrysler and it seems the dealerships don't care about safety. This is a major safety issue. We can't use the car that we paid $10,000 (plus $2100) for and now i have to get my daughter back to college and don't have a safe vehicle. How do i get chrysler to fix the problem? i can be contacted at my information below. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Upon preparing to stop and/or make a left hand turn (multiple incidents) vehicle's ignition shuts off. This is very dangerous as i was attempting a left turn on a busy industrial 4 lane road when the vehicle shut off mid-turn. I had two small children with me (1 and 4) and am extremely lucky i was not hit, from both sides. My knee sits approximately 8 inches from the ignition switch so i know it was not bumped.

My brakes lock on me when driving or stopping my engine shakes and raddled when stopped at a light or parked
Driving 30 mph, after about 3 miles of driving my check engine light came on.followed the tips to check the code and it says "transmission over temp".everything seems to be ok at the time but i'm sure this will eventually cause a problem.a couple months ago the whole instrument cluster cut off and on 2 times in a couple minute window but that seems to have been an isolated incident since it hasn't happened since.
I have had issues with my vehicle shutting off since 2010. I googled issue and it seemed others had same issue and offered other suggestions other than ignition. I received a recall notice stating that ignition switch was defective and recalled back in latter part of 2014. I contacted mckinney texas dealership who said they did not have replacement part and was not aware of when they would receive them. I emailed chrysler in november with issue, i received an email stating they would put me on a list to be contacted when part is available.i emailed them again in february with the reply from them of a simple we do nothave an estimated time of arrival on parts. I did express that my vehicle does have the issue and i am concerned. I do not want to be involved in an accident due to a faulty part and personally feel that if you are really concerned about my safety either fix my vehicle or give me a vehicle that is safe. This is why i am contacting you now because isincerely believe something needs to be done. Thank you for your time.

Prior to the incident, my jeep felt as if it were having trouble switching between gears.it felt jerky, if you will.while traveling along i-95 on the east coast of florida, my jeep (twice) slipped gear and appeared to have gone into neutral.if you know the area, it's not the ideal place for this to happen.since returning to the west coast of florida, it has happened once.i've taken toa shop for a tune-up and to check on that problem.needless to say, the 'fix' did not fix it and i'm still experiencing jerky shifts and gear failure.i've read a number of similar complaints regarding the same type of incidents on the nhtsa website, but have not located a fix for the problem.without hesitation, i'll say i'm terrified.

All warning lights came on and gauges shut down while driving on the highway. After getting off the highway, and it did it again then my vehicle completely shut down. I then restarted my car and the check engine light stayed on. I have filed a complaint in 2013 with your department and with chrysler. I again talked to chrysler today and they are telling me there's noting they can do to fix it at this time, because they don't have the parts available. I'm afraid that this can lead to a bigger problem if it shuts down while on the highway. What can i do to get this resolved?

Recently bought our jeep and have dimming lights due to low idle and also have a problem with starting it. There are times it wont start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected 5 mins later and that's after shutting the vehicle off after driving it. From what i have read there is an issue with the wire harness from the battery. The low idle is making the lights dim throughout the vehicle and from what i have read on that it needs a system update that can cost roughly 1000 which i dont have. My wife also said while she was driving home that the transmission slipped on her for no apparent reason. She said she pulled over and put it in park and back in gear and then it acted fine.

The faulty valve seats failed and destroyed my engine which left me stranded while traveling out of town. Engineers know the design was faulty as revision to address this situation were made in 2008 to correct the problem for the newer models. A recall should be issued for the earlier models to have the revised seats installed. This is negligent and will hurt the chrysler name if not addressed soon. I had just pulled of the highway to refuel with no indication of any problems. The jeep would not restart after filling the tank.
Driving car just shuts off and loss of steering and breaks was in a rear end account because of this chrysler still not fixing i don't know what's going on with it unsafe to drive.

Pulling away from stop sign my vehicle lost power (stalled out). The lights for park, reverse, neutral, and drive all came on at one time. Lost power for about 15 seconds then car starting moving again. This has happened a few times not just the one date listed here. This was the only time i was actually pulling out into traffic. Could have caused a major wreck. Sometimes it does it while driving down road and i have to pull over to turn car off. When i start it back again it runs fine for a while. Ever since this has been happening my airbag light and engine light have been coming on and off all the time. About a year ago, i had to have a speed sensor changed on the transmission cause the car would not shift through gears cost me around $800 because it had to be taken to a transmission service center. Are these problems all related? bought this car from a private seller (one owner) well taken care of. All maintenance was up to date when i purchased the car about 1 1\2 years ago. Is there any recalls on any of the problems i listed here?
I initially purchased this jeep at 45,000 miles. It now has 98,000 miles. This issue has now happened at least 5 times in this time span. The first few times i thought it may be just a coincidence but now it is starting to scare me that there could be an issue. Because it can not be replicated at the mechanic,s no one can pinpoint what the problem could be. The jeep will just die spontaneously. There is no warning that it is coming. Luckily i have always been going slow through a parking lot with no other cars in my way. I am able to control the car to a stop and then restart it. This past week i became more nervous however as it happened while i was making a left turn from a major street on to a residential street. I was able to control the car to the side of the residential road while turning however, if there had been cars on the street i was making the left too or i had not given more time for the cars coming at me during the turn this could have equaled a major accident. I am seeing through my research that i am not the only one experiencing this.
While at highway speed, on the highway, vehicle stalled, lost power steering, acceleration ability, braking and lights.had to coast to the side of the road while narrowly avoiding other motorists at highway speed.this has occurred on several different occasions at speeds anywhere from 5-60 mph.very dangerous and frightening.this has been reported by thousands of other jeep owners and is eventually going to get people killed.
While in a line of cars approaching a stop sign i reached my turn at the sign.when i stopped the engine just died and all electrical components worked.after shifting into park and turning the key the engine started again.as with others i do not have anything attached to my key and also my knees are not able to hit the key.the road leading to the stop sign is somewhat rough and it is possible i hit the key with my hand.

Starting in feb. 2012 the engine would quit running while driving. When the engine would quit we loose steering and braking. The vehiclestarts right back up and is drivable. We would experience this problem once every 2-3 months. The frequency in which this is happening has increased with the latest incident occurring 3-18-15 while exiting the interstate and nearly avoiding a crash off the roadway. We received a recall notice from jeep (p41) but everytime we call they tell us the parts are not available. I have tried several times to contact jeep but am left on hold for over 40 minutes. Can you please help us with this problem.
Going 40 mph the all lights on dashboard came on, the radio shut off, the abs brakes made a noise then everything on dashboard went out.check engine light came on & the gas gage didn't work you couldn't tell how fast you were going ,the air conditioner quit &engine stopped, the vehicle was hard to steer & the brakes were manual & then engine startedagain.i turned the car off & turned it back on & the check engine light is on & the dashboard seems to work again.this has happened 2 times within 3 days.i am renting a vehicle cause i'm too afraid to drive the vehicle.there is a recall on this vehicle for the ignition switch with all the same vehicle loss of engine power, power steering & braking assist but it doesn't include the dashboard lights coming on & the dealers say it is not the same thing.the ignition switch recall came out in july 2014 & to date they have not provided any dealerships with the replacement parts.how can jeep say it is not the same problem if they won't replace the recalled ignition switch to find out?
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
On several occasions the grand cherokee has suddenly shut off while driving.the vehicle loses all power, loses power steering and brakes causing an extremely dangerous situation. Dash lights all go out. Upon restart, check engine light stays on but vehicle functions again.
Car has on 2 separate occasions jumped from drive into neutral.contacted chrysler as they have a recall on jeep grand cherokees for this issue.however, they say that this vehicle wasn't included in recall as it was notmanufactured at the same plant where the other vehicles were that mandated the recall.

I was advised by larry h miller in albuquerque nm that my recall was fixed and that i would need to pay for a diagnostic to see why the " service 4wheel drive system" light was still on even though i had been there 2 times in past and issue was said to be resolved by a system update. I left the dealership after i was told it was about 280$ that i would have to pay to get the issue fixed-
The first incident happened just weeks after i purchased my grand cherokee. I was on a two lane highway going 75 mph in the left lane.the highway did not have a shoulder to pull over on. There was a tractor trailer in front of me, behind me and to my right. My car suddenly started decreasing in speed rapidly, my steering wheel locked up and it was as if my car had been turned off. I had no where to go as it was sandwiched in between semis all going at a high rate of speed. I turned on my hazards until i was completely stopped in the middle of the highway. I put my car in park, put the key into the off position and restarted it.i drove straight to the tulsa,ok jeep dealership. To say i was shaken up is an understatement. They ran tests on it. Came back to me and told me the car checked out perfectly fine and either my knee hit the ignition or my keys were too heavy. My keys only had my car key, house key and my key fob on it and i knew my knee had not hit the ignition. I was scared to drive my car from then on. The incidents continued to happen over and core again.sometimes at a high rate of speed, but also lots of times at a slow rate of speed under 25mph or while going from a stop to start (like at a stop light or while trying to turn). I continued to take my car in to the jeep dealership the entire time it was under warranty. I received the exact same answer every single time. They treated me like i was making the incidents up. The incidents started happening more frequently and after my second child was born we were finally in a position to purchase another vehicle. My jeep has been sitting in my driveway for over a year.we are unable to sell it for anything close to what kbb says its worth. And we also feel like we can't sell it consciously knowing it could kill someone.these cars are a death trap and because of financial situations families are forced to keep.
While driving on a highway, i noticed my car slowed down and even after applying the gas pedal, it didn't help. After pressing the brakes and pushing the gas pedal again, then it started accelerating. The engine light would blink and lately it stays on. The check engine light stays on and off but once i noticed that when i started the car again, the check engine light was off but i lost one front headlight. I was told by the dealership that i needed to replace a spark plug which cost me almost 300.00. Now the check engine light is on again and i suspect as other owners have shared it in the forum that it's the ignition switch that's faulty. I just wish nhtsa would do something about this asap. The letter came the mail stating there is a recall on my car but nothing is being done to correct the problem. Are you waiting for severe accidents to happen before you really force jeep to correct this issue??? do people have to lose their lives before you act on this problem?

Purchased the 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) new from dealership.it stalls unexpectedly.usually at low speeds.most of the time while turning.it does it probably once every two or three months, which makes it next to impossible to duplicate at the dealership.in addition, no codes are ever tripped, leaving no proof of an existing problem.we have taken it to the dealership on three separate occasions over the years while it was still under warranty, however, the dealerships maintained that if they could not duplicate the problem, they could not fix the problem, leaving it unresolved.the jeep now has over 100k on it (out of warranty) and it continues to stall.what i find odd, is that this particular problem was happening to thousands of people with jeeps like mine over the years, but on the three separate occasions we took it into the dealership, they acted like they had never heard of the problem.how is this possible?
I was reversing and came to a complete stop to shift into drive, when i shifted into drive and let my foot off the brake, it killed the engine and completely shut it off.all electronics remained on.i then reapplied my foot on the brake and shifted into park and started the engine up again, shifted into drive and was able to drive.this continues to happen from time to time and not every time and no one can figure out the issue.

I received a recall sept 2014.it has been going on 7 months and i can not get any information on the status of my recall of p41.i called the chrysler group recall center and that is a waste of time.the poorest service for a telephone answering service.i was on the phone 30 minutes and finally i hung up.i had to sit and listen to terrible noise (not music) and an announcement that all our agents are busy. I have worked all my life in business and i have never seen such poor service as i have received on this recall.my key switch is loose (because it has been hit so many times).at times i turn the key to start my car and it does not connect with the starter.i would like for someone who is responsible enough and cares about public service to call me and give me a date when my key switch will be replaced.i hope there is someone in the agency that has enough job interest to give this to a responsible employee.
On at least 5 separate occasions since about 2009, my 2006 jeep grand cherokee has suddenly and lost power and cut off while driving at approximately 20-40 miles per hour. There is no reason that i can confirm causes this and i'm not able to duplicate the defect. I've reported it to pearson (dealer) and they indicated they can't help with an issue that can't be demonstrated or duplicated. This is extremely dangerous to lose all power, even at lower speeds. This issue should be thoroughly investigated to find the root cause. I can confirm that it definitely occurs.in addition, it's reported that starting a jeep grand cherokee may result in sudden, uncontrolled acceleration or movement forward, even when in park. Car pool auto wash pushes every jeep product out of the wash tunnel by hand to avoid starting the vehicle for this reason they explained. While sudden acceleration has never occurred to me, there appears to be enough evidence this may warrant further investigation.
When driving my transmission would be stuck in a gear sometimes and other times it would shift to neutral while on city roads and highways. This would happen mostly when accelerating when the automatic transmission had to shift to the next gear. It wouldn't or would go to neutral so i had to shift the transmission back and forth from neutral to drive to catch a gear. I read about a recall back in 2013 but chrysler said it did not apply to my vehicle so i paid to get the problem fixed. Since chrysler is currently having recall problems i'm curious to find out if this was something that wasn't reported.
The check engine (gas cap) warning light came on. Then i was backing out of our driveway, stopped to put garage door down andthe vehicle quit (while in reverse and it was idling).the vehicle started right up when i put it in park but then quit again approximately 2 hours later when i was pulling into a parking space.we took it into a dealership in nampa and they stated that they fixed the problem with the check engine light but they did not know why the vehicle quit.they informed us that there was a recall on the ignition switch and that could be the problem but parts to fix it were not available.i called chrysler and they told me parts may be available in september. I am afraid to drive the vehicle because we live in a remote mountain area and if the vehicle quits, i will not have power brakes or power steering when driving along the river on a very curvy, treacherous road.i cannot afford to leave the vehicle parked until parts are available at an apparently unknown date. Chrysler did suggest that i have the ignition replaced and they may or may not reimburse me.the dealership said the parts they currently have may or may not fix the problem.can you please tell me what you would suggest? what happens if the vehicle quits and there is an accident? is chrysler and/or the dealership liable for any injury and/or damages? thank you.
I lose all lights, instruments, gauges on the dashboard. Car still runs but i have no odometer, lights, air conditioning. I usually pull off the road and turn off the engine. Once i restart it, it usually doesn't happen for awhile. The check engine light would come on for a day or two and then clear out. I've had it checked before and the codes come up as "communication error" but no one has been able to identify the exact error. Has occurred intermittently since 2011 but has now reached the stage where the car won't start.
I received this recall this month however, this jeep had three instances of losing engine power by last november 2014.when we called the hotline then, after going to a dealship three times, noone at chrysler could or would help us so this vehicle was traded at a dealership at a substantially lower price .quite honestly, we wanted to keep it and not take on car payments so i think chrysler should pay us money.while i think vw lying about fuel and catalytic converters is wrong,i don't think that would have endangered my son's life like this did.three times he lost power which was unacceptable and after the way this was handled, there will be no more chrysler products for us.

Driving down the road engine revved down, pulled over immediately called tow truck. Took into dealership they said the timing chain had broke and engine was no good. Replacing motor due to still having a warranty on it. Hoping this does not happen with the replacement engine. I have noticed on forums that has happened to numerous others wondering why no recall has been issued. Oil changes were all on time and plugs and wires changed at recommended time. This should not happen an engine with 105000 miles.
Vehicle stalls when coming to a stop occasionally. It is an automatic. Put in park starts right up. 4.7 engine.
Jeep grand cherokee randomly lost engine power, essentially shutting the car down.this happened at least ten times over the span of a few years.each visit thedealer to get service was worthless as they could not find anything wrong or a fix.
Valve seat dropped into #4 cylinder head on a warm restart. Vehicle was stationary & not overheated. Vehicle was at rest in a parking lot.catastrophic engine failure followed.
Started december 2013. When cold outside, jeep won't downshift. Going about 40mph & jeep stays at 3,000rpm's (or higher). When at stop sign/red light & i try to go it revs to 3000rpm's but only goes about 10mph. When it does finally reach 30mph-40mph it won't down shift. I have almost been rear ended several times. Taken to independent mechanic last year & put $700 into it. Was fine all spring & summer but yesterday was the first day the temps dropped into the 30's & it has started all over again. I cannot afford to go through this all winter again & cannot afford to keep dumping money into this jeep.

On july 18 2014 recall # p41 was issued by chrysler corp. They have, as yet no solution for this issue. It has been almost a year and no solution in sight. Who in their right mind issues a recall without a solution? i need this recall completed so i can get it licensed. I need the nhtsb to insist that chrysler live up to it's claim that safety is of paramount importance. Either abandon this recall or fix the problem.

Exhaust manifolds leak, potentially introducing exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, into the passenger area.i initially took my vehicle to lithia dodge in santa fe, nm to report an exhaust leak that sounded like it was coming from the passenger side and was to be repaired under warranty.they only repaired the passenger side without apparently performing a leak check.the fix for this is to replace the oem gasket with one that incorporates metal to apparently compensate for the expansion of the dissimilar metals of the head/exhaust manifold.since there is a defect, the gaskets leak, and the uneven expansion causes the bolts/studs to break, exacerbating the problem.after the repair the sound seemed similar but i assumed it must be injector or valve/lifter noise.recently i had my transmission serviced by a local shop and they noted that i had an exhaust leak.again i listened and it sounded like it was coming from passenger side.this time when i took it to the dealer the mechanic performed an inspection and found the driver's side to be leaking.again he attempted to replace the oem gasket with the upgraded gasket, but in the process broke a stud off in the head and was unable to repair without excess expense, now not under warranty, of course.the service manager also told me that the other side was leaking and that they would have to repair it, but the mechanic said that the passenger side was not leaking.it's obvious the manufacturer knows there is a defect, since they issued an upgraded gasket.these vehicles with the 4.7l v8 should be recalled and the proper gasket installed.i have read on various forums online that this has been an issue since the introduction of the 4.7l v8 in chrysler products.

The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the engine light would intermittently illuminate.

The vehicle was repaired by the local mechanic. The vin was unavailable when the complaint was filed. The current mileage was approximately 43,800. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
2006 jeep grand cherokee. Problems with vehicle shutting off while driving. Lots of consumers reporting this issue. Driving in city traffic at speed of 45 miles per hour, vehicle and all electrical components suddenly shut off. Lost steering momentarily. I shifted to neutral and restarted- but upon returning home and researching problem on internet, found numerous customer citing this problem. Luckily, no crash occurred although it was close. Had i been on the freeway, this could have been catastrophic!
Driving highway speeds of 55 mph on august 1, 2009 and heard a popping noise, thought i had run over something, a few seconds later the entire jeep starting vibrating and awful beating and banging noises and totally lost power.had to coast to stop alongside of road.vehicle towed to mechanic.found valve spring broke and total engine loss in 3.7 l v-6 engine.had to replace engine.chose to replace with jasper engine for warranty.engine replaced and received jeep back on august 20, 2009.on january 31, 2011 leaving driveway of place of employment and jeep starting shuttering as if it was going to stall andstalled out after engine light came on.had towed to mechanic.17 months into a 36 month warranty with 20,000 miles on this engine, valve spring broke causing entire engine damage.jasper is replacing this engine under warranty.according to jasper, they have replaced three engines in last three months due to valve spring breakage.valve spring has not been updated. Afraid this will happen again if chrysler does not update with newer stronger valve spring.

Drive-by-wire system on hemi powered 2006 jeep grand cherokee has hair trigger response, does not allow for engine breaking when the accelerator is released and continues to accelerate even after foot is lifted off the gas pedal.
Unintended engine acceleration / surge.on two separate occasions the 5.7 liter hemi engine in a 2006 jeep grand cherokee suddenly surged when stopped at traffic lights.maximum brakes were applied and the transmission was placed in neutral to prevent the jeep from going into traffic. After the transmission was placed in neutral the engine rpm went as high 4500 rpm (normal engine rpm at idle in gear is about 700 rpm).on both occasions the jeep was brought to a jeep dealership to diagnosis the problem. The maintenance technicians were unable to find any fault with the vehicle (no fault codes or any abnormal behavior).this behavior could cause a serious accident the results in serious injuries and or death to individuals involved.
I was going down the highway, and all of a sudden i had no power. It was like i turned the car off. Luckilyi was able to put the car into neutral and restart it. This has happened several times sense i bought the car in may of2011. When this does happen i have no power, no dash lights, no nothing.

Jeep stalls while driving!!!!!!!!!!! 2nd incident in the last 2 months.
While entering on ramp for highway jeep shuts off... No more control since no power. Hit the guard rail. This stalling happen on many occasions while driving or in park. With passengers in vehicle very scary. Have spent more than $4000 @ dealer @ & manufacturer involved. With no resolution...but the stress & the dissatisfaction in the american product i'd like to buy that can't be fixed. I'm convinced i'll probably never buy american again. Very disappointed on how jeep corporate handled the issue & left me with vehicle with these problems & told me case closed... Trade it in.
Purchased new jeep grand cherokee in may 2006. The problem started almost immediately and continue. , dealership could not find or fixthe problem. The vehicle lost engine power while driving, resulting in no steering or brakes. This happened every few days, without warning, most recently at speed of 50 mph, causing me to have to manually, with much difficulty,steeredoff road into field to avoida collision with other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous, i could only imagine if it happenedon an expressway during heavy traffic how many people would be killed. The local dealership always stated they could notduplicate problem, and askedme to keep driving until it happenedagain, then bring the car back in. This could notgo 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.
The check engine light would come on and go off..i was driving around 60 mph the car shifted into neutral and lost power...i was able to steer to the side of the road but i was in three lanes wide of traffic on the highway and had i not been in the lane closed to the side of the road i could have been badly injured. Within the time frame of three weeks it happened 4 times...all when i was driving highway speeds except once the car shifted into neutral on its own and powered down when i was at a stop sign in town. The check engine lights comes and goes so fast by the time i can get to a repair shop and have it scanned its usually off. I was able to scan it once and it read a code for "transmission control module"...the car runs great but i don't understand why it just powers down. How many people have to get injured from this failure before someone fixes it! this is absurd!
Engine, powertrain, door, dash, gas mileage.
I was traveling down the road at 55 mph when suddenly my vehicle shut off for no reason..this scared the daylights out of me and i could have been killed- no lights, ability to brake or steer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please find a solution to this problem!!!
2006 jeep grand cherokee/ 5.7 hemi check engine light came on, engine started missing, loss of power, failure occurs once vehicle is started. So far a tune-up,#6 cylinder have the problem,intake plenum seals,mds solenoid, #6 fuel injector and a module powertrain control,have been changed, now i am told the problem is a badlifter for the #6 cylinder, and that daimlerchrysler is aware of this problem and since not many complaints have been made, i as the owner of the vehicle should have to pay to have the engine with the internal problem repaired, the vehicle is 2006 , limited with 51,938 miles, the vehicle is still out of service, at my residence, i am at a loss that daimlerchrysler is aware of this problem and is not addressing the issue.
While accelerating attempting to merge onto highway vehicle loses all power and transmissions seems to disengage and only coasts.car acts like if i shifted into neutral but gear selected is still drive.check engine light illuminates and engine responds to acceleration but no movement is given by transmission.rpm gauge goes all the way down to idle.had to pull over the side of the road place in park, shut engine off and restart the vehicle then continue.this is a very dangerous and frightening situation, all power is lost and no control of acceleration is given.this is the 5th time in a year time span, this has happened.started at about 50000 miles.this has almost caused rear end collisions as well, please look into this matter.i cannot imagine what other less skilled drivers do especially carrying children or pets very dangerous, needs a recall or sb.

When goin over a curb or a bump on the back tires the car losses power even when you press on the gas for several seconds.
Driving approx 50 mph, the jeep quit, no warning signs, no power steering.momentum got me off the road.dealership wasn't able to fix the problem.this happened in march 2011.sept 2011 i was passing a transit bus on the way to work and as i started to pull back into my own lane the jeep quit again.no warnings, it just quit.i had to coast into the front yard of someones house because i had no steering.i sat for a few minutes, started it up and drove back home.the onboard diagnostics light, esp, bas and traction control lights were on.from that point the jeep was running very badly.dealer had my jeep for 6 days and said it was a map sensor on the manifold.got the jeep back and backing out of my driveway in the middle of the road, it quit.a couple tries and it restarted.i'm very upset that this vehicle has put me in harms way on 3 separate occasions.i couldn't imagine driving on a twisting steep road and having it quit.i'm lucky i wasn't killed the day i was passing the bus.i'm not convinced the map sensor is the problem and i don't trust this vehicle.i drive a lot and transport my kids.we are all in danger in this vehicle.mainly because, it gives you absolutely no warning that it's going to quit, it just shuts down as if i shut the key off.i have only the ignition key on the keyring so i know it has nothing to do with heavy keys pulling on the ignition switch.i am not the only complaint, they are all over the web, it is an issue and someone needs to address it.this vehicle has become dangerous.
Engine has cut off numerous times between 5-30 mph.i have to stop and restart jeep, have almost been rear ended several times.have taken into dealership and they can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it.

I drove through some heavy rain at approximately 3 p.m. On december 24, 2009. My 2006 jeep grand cherokeequit. I had to have it december 28, 2009 i had it towed to an independent shop. Over the christmas week end, two mechanics advised the engine had hydrolocked. The shop owner advised that it had hydrolocked. Then after filing an insurance claim, he advised it was not watert but he did not know what caused it.i went to the dealership and talked to a service adviser and she advised it had hydrolodged, a common occurrence, covered by insurance. Then, after i took it there the insurance adjuster wanted the engine torn down at my expense. It was supposed to take one day and it took four. The mechanic advised it was not waterbut he did not know what caused it. He advised the service adviser it damaged the starter, the water pump, the first piston, numerous valve springs, and cracked the block. This is an unsafe vehicle. It can not be driven in water. In july and october it stalled in water and started again. This jeep has a mercedes engine and transmission and a european battery. It was not disclosed when i bought it. The battery can not be jumped. I had to have it towed the night the battery quit, from a rural area. It is not a mopar product. I have the original battery. The original parts are at the dealership with the jeep.i complained to the corporate office and they did not care.
After 2 hours of highway driving followed by 20 minutes of bumper to bumper crawl. Decelerated and hit brakes to make right turn at intersection.engine failed, all electronics dead. Stopped, put vehicle in park, started engine and drove away.
While i was sitting at a red light today i was completely stopped with my right foot on the brake.i felt the jeep grand cherokee surge.i looked at the tachometer and the needle shot upwards and i had to really stand on the brake to keep the suv from moving.i slipped the transmission into neutral to eliminate the surge on the brakes and the engine whinnied and then idled down.i immediately made an appointment at my dealership for friday april 20, 2007.third incident.i am well aware of sudden acceleration syndrome where it is believed drivers are stepping on the brake but really applying the gas.i was already sitting still and my foot never moved from any pedal so this theory is eliminated.

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.

The car shut off lost all power control panel went out while driving at 45 miles per hour i quickly wiggled the key(ignition switch ) and the car began to run again
On my way home from work after dark, i experienced a loss of head lights, dash power and heating traveling at a high rate of speed down the interstate.earlier that morning on my way to work, the dash quit working 4 times.all gauges stop working and drop to zero and the heat/ac quits.i have experienced my head lights turning off/losing power on 3 separate occasions. I am able to switch them from automatic to on and they work.once my dash "flickers" and returns to normal, the engine light, traction light and esp bas light stay on.this has become a daily malfunction that occurs on my way to and from work.the first time this occurred in september of 2014, i drove straight to auto zone and bought a brand new battery.they tested the battery and said i needed a new one.they installed a new battery and connected power to the jeep while they changed it.i figured a bad battery was the issue and it was now fixed.a couple days later, i began experiencing a loss power to my dash again.i have taken my jeep to 3 different jeep dealerships and they cannot find anything wrong but an ignition switch or bad battery.they all told me that they had not received the ignition switch part for the recall but i will received a notice in the mail when they do.one jeep dealership contacted auto zone and told them the only thing they could find wrong with it was the battery.i went back to auto zone and they replaced my battery.i have had my alternator checked several times and it tested good.this defect/malfunction is dangerous and a hazard to my life as well as other motorist.i am very dissatisfied with jeep's handling of the situation and long await period of the recall part.
When driver or parked and idling the dash, indicator lights, headlights, tail lights, speedometer completely lose power. This has happened while driving in low light conditions causing a very serious hazard.
We own a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. When we start the vehicle, for about the first 20 minutes of driving, the vehicle will shut off multiple times when driving slow or coming to a stop. My wife was coming home from workand she was leaving the parking garage she parked at for work. When she was driving up the ramp to exit the garage, the jeep shut off on her and it rolled backwards down the ramp into a building support pillar. This caused damage to the back bumper and taillight. We were lucky nobody was hurt or behind her when this happened.when i drive the jeep it seems like it happens more often. When i leave for work in the morning and arrive at the first stop light, the jeep will shut off. Sometimes it turns green at the same time so i have to shift back to neutral to start up, making some people miss the green. When i leave work to head home, every time i pull up to the gate to leave, it shuts off. It jumps forward when it shuts off, sometimes i feel like i will hit the gate (have to get close to gate in order for scanner to read garage access pass).please make a solution for this recall as it is very dangerous and we got lucky with just a minor accident so far.
Was driving at 65mph and all of the sudden the dash lights up like a christmas tree. The fan for the a/c turned off. This kept happening for 10 miles and the traction control light stayed on after this happened. I had a friend scan the computer without turning the vehicle off. Found code b2100. This code is for the ignition switch malfunctioning. I did an internet check and a lot of people are having this same problem. Some changed the ignition switch and problem solved and others have not changed it. This sure sounds like a safety issue to me. I have read where the engine even shuts off.
Lights shut off and electrical systems fails.this is on recall but dealer will not fix as they say no repair given.
While driving 55mph suddenly every dashboard warnings light, ignition, radio,headlights, etc. Turns on and off.engine stalls for a couple of seconds each time this occurs.the same thing happened on a number of occasions.dealer says they never heard of this problem and could not duplicate this problem when the car was in the shop.the car was at the dealer's shop on two occasions.the first time they said they couldn't find the problem and the second time they did something to the computer.the car is doing the same thing and is going back to the dealer on 2/18/13.

My 2006 jeep grand cherokee has now started sporadic headlight service.for the last few years i have noticed the dashboard lights dimming for no apparent reason but now the headlights are also cutting in and out.it seems there is no real solution from what i have been reading online and chrysler needs to address this since it is very unnerving to not have headlights while driving at night.
Headlights and dash lights flicker when on. They will usually remain on for approximately 5 minutes before they start to flicker. At that point the headlights and dashlights will flash off and on rapidly causing oncoming traffic and the traffic in front of my vehicle to panic. The flicker occurs even when the vehicle is turned off an the light control switch is left in the on position. I have not noticed the flicker occurring while the vehicle is turned off and the light control switch is in the off position. This condition could potentially be very dangerous depending upon the timing of the occurrence. I have conducted internet research on this topic and found that many 2005-2008 jeep grand cherokee owners have had this very same problem. Even more 2005 - 2008 jeep grand cherokee owners have had electronic problems in general. My particular headlight problem has been attributed to an electronical control module which would cost close to $1,000 to repair or replace. I believe this to be faulty workmanship or the use of a faulty product by jeep. The failure of an electronic control model is not the result of wear and tear. Therefore, i believe this should either be admitted and replaced by jeep or made a safety recall.i appreciate your time and consideration.
While driving, all of my lights on my instrument panel start to flash. I am unable to tell the speed at which i am going because it the speedometer stops working as well. The fans stop blowing and this has happened over and over. I received a speeding ticket because of being unable to tell how fast i was driving. I have taken my car to a chrysler/jeep dealership and they were unable to do anything or figure out why it happened. I have taken it to my local garage and they are unable to find out why it is happening. This has been going on for almost two years and keeps getting worse and worse. I have contacted chrysler/jeep via email and was told that i should take it back to a dealership to have it looked at but "if it is monetary reimbursement"that i was looking for, that wasn't going to happen. I can google this issue and find hundreds of people with the same problem online with no resolution! this isn't just a problem that i am having and until it causes someone to have an accident and kill either themselves or someone else, chrysler doesn't seem to care!!!
All the lights in the interior speedometer panel,all warning lights ect... Flash and the air conditioning goes off.
While driving in normal dry conditions this past evening unexpectedly all my interior gauges and dash electronics started flickering on and off to include the radio, hazard lights and everything inside.at the same time i realized i was also loosing my exterior headlights and also brake control because my car was essentially running but with no electronics.it started making a weird grinding pulsating noise that would accompany the flickering lights.this forced me to exit the road at a gas station.it then stopped and i began driving again only to have it resume shortly.thankfully i was close to my destination and was able to shut the vehicle off for the night. This has happened occasionally in the past couple months during the day but this is my first night experience. I thought it was just a glitch but it is definitely getting worse and has become regular.the next morning i was able start and drive my vehicle to work and it repeated this behavior a couple more times.at days end i went to leave and now my jeep won't start and hasn't for two days.all the electronics come on but when i turn the key it just clicks.i also had this problem in the past but when my mechanic looked at it he was unable to duplicate the problem.
The headlights, dashboard light, and interior lights all flicker spontaneously. The headlights have went completely out at night while driving. Sometimes the headlights do not come on at all or takes several attempts before coming on. At times the headlights and interior lights will flicker on and off for several seconds before cutting off. When raining and using the windshield wipers and headlights the lights will flicker on and off. This has been occurring for over a year and i am unable to drive the vehicle at night for fear of the lights going out.
When i'm driving while in motion in a straight line all of a sudden my dash lights flicker and my ac stutters on and off and then all power stops and my brakes more or less lock up but not all the way but the engine still runs .... I'm not sure if the windows stop working or not but its been happening a few times and it seems like its going to need a tow truck but when i pull over off the highway and turn it off and restart it resets its self my jeep only has 78,000 miles on it because it was sitting in storage for 6 years while i was out of the states so it did not get driven and the dealership took it and changed all belts fluids and gave it a checkup before i drove it again
While driving under completely normal conditions, several severe problems occurred simultaneously; interior dash lights started flashing on and off, vehicle started sputtering and became unresponsive when trying to accelerate, grinding sound from left front wheel accompanied the other problems further adding to the vehicle suddenly slowing down while in motion. All warning lights were lit up when flashing stopped, but then a couple of minutes later while i was trying to limp into a parking lot to get the car off the road the dash lights started wildly flashing on and off again and the car continued to be virtually unresponsive when stepping on the gas. After shutting the car off and restarting it, the esp/bas lights remained on for a couple of days, but eventually went out, but the check engine light remained on. The problem happened again on 3/29/2013 while i was driving under normal conditions.it was sudden, unexpected and scary. With the right set of circumstances, it could be devastating and extremely dangerous. Once i started doing a bit of online research, i found many jeep forums packed full of owners with the identical model and year of my grand cherokee that are having the same grave issues. It is clearly very widespread for this particular vehicle, and then i found the arfc page and i was astounded at the numbers of owners of my year and model who have also had hair raising incidents who have described the exact set of problems that i have had.chrysler cannot ignore the massive numbers of people who are reporting the same defect issues. It is well beyond the realms of coincidence, and it is too dangerous to ignore. There needs to be a national factory recall asap before somebody gets killed.
I was on the highway with my family at night when all of the inner and outer lights in the car turnd off.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the interior and exterior lighting illuminated on and off intermittently before shutting off completely. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the dealer stated that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage was 81,075.
On multiple occasions, the instrument panel has stopped working completely. The lighting in both in the interior of the vehicle as well as the exterior flashes and sometimes goes out completely. Multiple dealers have not been able to find a problem. It has caused near crashes before with the distraction of driving at night. The cruise control also accelerates without any warning while this occurs and the cruise must be reset by turning the car off and back on. This too has caused some near crashes as the car accelerates due to the faulty cruise control.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the headlights flickered and failed. In addition, the instrument panel illuminated and the rear passenger tail light failed intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.
Interior dashboard lights have been flashing off and on at least since 10/2012.on a daily basis the dashboard lights have continued to flash on and off again constantly. As of yesterday (10/28/2014) both the exterior headlamps and dashboard lights flashed off and on again in the late evening leaving the entire vehicle completely dark as i attempted to drive.
While driving car with lights on the lights flicker and then go out. I turn them off and then back on again. It's very dangerous driving at night when the lights go out. This seems to be a problem on a large number of jeep's. I feel jeep needs to determine what the cause and solution is for this dangerous condition.
2006 jeep grand cherokee headlight will flicker on and off. This also includes the dash lights. I have researched this problem online, and have found that many others have had the same problem with this year and model. Many of these people have contacted jeep, which basically ignored their complaints. Something should be done about this as it is a safety issue, and the dealerships and company are refusing to deal with it correctly.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.the contact noticed that all of the illuminated components in the vehicle would dim intermittently.she was informed that the lights flickered as if she were flashing them during the day and night.the exterior lighting shut off completely.the interior lighting, specifically the instrument panel, would dim while the vehicle was in motion.the contact would have to manually turn them back on again.the electrical system, however, would still malfunction.she took the vehicle to the dealer on two different occasions and to a private mechanic once, but neither could duplicate or determine the cause of the failures.the manufacturer has not been notified.the current mileage was approximately 31,000 and failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Recently bought our jeep and have dimming lights due to low idle and also have a problem with starting it. There are times it wont start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected 5 mins later and that's after shutting the vehicle off after driving it. From what i have read there is an issue with the wire harness from the battery. The low idle is making the lights dim throughout the vehicle and from what i have read on that it needs a system update that can cost roughly 1000 which i dont have. My wife also said while she was driving home that the transmission slipped on her for no apparent reason. She said she pulled over and put it in park and back in gear and then it acted fine.
Light bulbs behind the climate control unit and information center blow. Console is designed in such a way that the blown light bulbs cannot be replaced as they are fused to the circuit board of the affected unit. Only way to fix this issue is to replace the affected unit (like the whole climate control), which is quite expensive. This is a design flaw since the bulbs are neither maintenance-free (and long-lasting) nor serviceable.operating the vehicle with blown console lights at night is a safety hazard because it cause the driver to take the eyes off the road for an extended period of time while trying to operate unlit console equipment. This is a common issue in 2005-2010 jeep grand cherokee wk and 2006-2010 jeep commander.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 35 mph, the headlights illuminated intermittently. Also, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee srt8 about two weeks ago i was leaving a store at night when i started the jeep the indicator light for my bright lights was on i tried to turn them off nothing happened they were stuck on then i realized i had no turn signals either. When i went inside the store the brights were not on and everything was working fine. I went ahead and drove home without turn signals and my bright lights stuck on about 10 min into my drive everything started working again. Then about a week ago and i turned left to enter a highway everything inside the jeep went black i lost all interior power gauges, instrument panel, radio, ac, lights and fans the jeep stuttered but kept running when this happened everything came back about a minute later. Just now when i was taking a left turn it happened again everything inside the jeep died again and came back on about a minute later. I have already had my ignition recall done also since the recall was done half the time when i try to start the jeep it will just make a clicking sound and i have to turn it over a few times and hold the key in the start position until it will finally start.
Dash lights flickering and keeps blowing fuses affecting right side front and rear marker lights (tail light and front marker light right side only) replace the fuse and it may last a day or it may last a few months, i see lots of complaints about flickering and i think it's a short, the fan relay for the heater motor kept blowing and after replacing it twice and the blower motor once i found that the problem was in the connector harness (bad solder job at the connector) burnt so bad i'm surprised it didn't catch fire!! in motion and parked.
I purchased my 2006 grand cherokee in may of 2008. I started having a problem with the headlights flickering on and off and then totally going off about 3 weeks after we purchased the vehicle. We took it back to the dealership while still under warranty and they serviced it to find "nothing wrong." the service person drove the vehicle at night and stated nothing happened. A couple of months later the same thing happened again, we took it to the dealership a second time, and the service person said the same thing again, "nothing wrong." we go almost a year with no problems and the flickering of the head lights and interior dash starts all over again. I would hate for someone to have to die before the manufacturer decides to do something about this problem. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 17 year old son that i transport daily and i refuse to allow him to drive my vehicle because of this problem. Hopefully someone will decide to take action concerning the issues with the jeep cherokee.
When driving there are multiple times the internal and external lights will flash or go off entirely for time.sometimes turning off and on will correct the issue however they will continue to flash.when they go entirely off this could post a safety hazard as there are no external lights on the vehicle.no one has been able to determine the exact cause of the issue.
Was driving my jeep at night with my infant in the back seat, 55mph. Suddenly all the lights in the dashboard and parking assistance lights in the back all lite up. At the same time the heater stopped working and my headlights went out as well. They came back on about 5 seconds later. I continued to drive when it did it again. I switched the lights out of auto. The same problem occurred again but this time the head lamps did not go out, all the warning lights on the dash still flashed and heat went off. It resumed the whole way home but never fully lost power. It still does this on a daily basis, multiple times. I feel as if it's getting worse but no one can diagnose and figure out what's wrong with it. Considering the airbag warning and others(all of them) light up, i'm concerned for my safety and my sons. Today as i was driving it seemed worse. Even turn signal lights are effected when this happens. Today my speedometer, gas gage... Everything on my dashboard lite up and my meters quit working. It all resumed as normal after it happened but it happened approximately 15 times during a 10 minute drive. Sometimes back to back to back. It also happened while sitting at a stop light when i noticed my turn signals also went out at that time, while stationary and while turning. Happens no matter if stationary or in motion.
A/c heater center control lights do not light up. Been this way since jeep was purchased. This has been a safety concern, driving at night trying to fumble with changing the temperature and not being able to see what your doing while taking your eyes off the road. There are actually many complaints of this safety concern stated all over online with jeep having the exact same issue!
I purchased a certified used 2006 jeep grand cherokee in 2008 with 26k miles. Besides a malfunctioning electronic shifter in 2009 everything has been running great until 1/2/2011. At approximately 6:30pm while driving on the freeway at 65mph all exterior lights and interior lights (except for the map lights) began to flicker and then fail. The lights would come back on for a few seconds and then fail. The problem occurred intermittently over the next 30 miles and persistently worsened until i got home when the lights remained off for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. Each time it failed while driving i cycled the switch, cycled the brights and tried anything i could to get the lights to stay on. None of these methods worked. Upon getting home safely i turned the car off and restarted it only to have the same problem after two restarts. I went to bed and tried it in the morning and the lights worked fine for a 70 mile daylight drive to the dealer. Just received word from the dealer that they could not replicate the failure so there is nothing they can do. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and dangerous to others on the road in this condition even if it only happens once every two years.
For the last 3 months, both the interior and exterior lights will flicker and then go off.there is no warning before it happens.many times you can turn the light switch off and then on again and everything will be fine.but lately, this does not solve the problem.i have taken it to a jeep dealer to fix but since they can not duplicate the problem, they don't know what to fix.this is a huge safety issue as it has happened at night on a road with no street lights.it also makes the car unable to be seen by others..... An accident waiting to happen.
Driving along at night, when suddenly my head lights blink off and on several times then shut off. Have to then turn on and off switch several times to get them back . Then few minutes later they do it again, along with the instrument panel. No one seems to be able to figure it out. I think its the computor on board thats defected, and jeep doesnt want to replace all of them! i think this issue needs to be addressed a.s.a.p..it is so unsafe, and appears that there are many others out there with same problem.
I do not remember exactly when the problem started, but while driving at night, my lights started flickering and then went out all together.i thought it happened when i turned my signal lights on, but i am not sure if this is the cause.i took it to the jeep dealer and they could not find anything.every now and then, i have the same issue, but nothing can be found.this is very dangerous for me and it terrifies me that someone will think i am flashing them and become angry.there is obviously something wrong if there are so many with this type of problem, but nothing is being done about it. I purchased as a one person lease vehicle from a dealership and within a year had to have my transmission replaced. I could not enter transmission in the parts section.
I purchased vehicle 2 weeks ago, november 115, 2012. Over a period of several days, all lights on . Instrument cluster light-up, gauges go crazy, loose power and ability to operate vehicle. Very dangerous situation since i was on highway at highway speeds. Also, headlights begin to flicker off-on at a high rate causing a dangerous situation. I have researched online and found numerous similar complaints for jeep. I went to my local jeep dealer today...no help. Called jeep hotline, 800-992-1997, no help, claim they havent had a problem. This is a safety issue and jeep should stand behind their product.
All lights, instrument panel, head lights, fog lights began to flash and shut off then came back on as the car was being driven.this has happened multiple times while my wife has been driving as well as when my son has driven the car and also while i was driving..

I was driving on california state route 20 eastbound in the curves past the omega rest stop, at 6:00 am, when all of the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated.the instrument lights went out, and several seconds later illuminated again, they when out again and illuminated a third time, at which point the headlights on the car shut off.it was a very frightening event.i was able to flick the steering wheel headlight control and the lights came back on.i immediately took my foot off of the gas when the headlights went out, because i was in a curve section of a mountain highway.luckily, a pull out was a quarter mile ahead and i was able to get off the road.i called aaa roadside assistance and they dispatched a tow truck to tow the car back to grass valley/nevada city.two warning lights remained on the dash until the lights were turned off and the car towed.a light on the upper right with a car and a swag and a light in middle.abs ?at the local repair shop, they found no codes to indicate any type of failure.the car has been taken since to magnussen's jeep dealer in auburn, california and they have been unable to detect any problem.a similar event happened to my husband in 2008 approximately and the repair facility was unable to determine a problem.i have worked in truckee, ca and have commuted to work since 2001 on this road in several vehicles( (including two other jeeps).i have never had a similar incident and i believe it is a serious safety issue.when the repair facility was unable to detect a problem, my husband and i began looking into the problem on this website and others and believe that our incident is not unique andreflects a substantial defect with this vehicle.additionally, our compound low gear has not worked since the last recall was performed at the jeep dealer in roseville, ca
The headlights and dashlights started to flicker, i would turn off the lights and the back on but the problem would soon reoccur. I took it to my mechanic who couldn't duplicate the problem. He looked up the problem in a website to diagnosis the problem. He found that 60% of the time it was the headlight switch which was the problem. We replaced the headlight switch and arm assembly to this day some 5 months later the problem has been resolved.this problem seems to get worse over time without the repair.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 65 mph, all the lights on the instrument panel, headlights, and the tail lights seized without warning. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road. After approximately one minute, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the part needed was not available to repair the vehicle. Also, the contact received a notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The same failure recurred three times the same day. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
All exterior headlights (high / low beams and parking lights) and interior dash lights turn-off unexpectedly and without warning which is causing an extreme safety hazard.i have taken it to the shop numerous times but the problem does not duplicate while at the shop as it may happen 3 days in a row then, disappear for a week or two.the problem has been occurring since january of 2010 and still continues to this day (november 2010) without any resolve.the lights will turn-off in the morning or night as there is no pattern.i talked to jeep directly but, they state they don't have any records of this problem or will not help with the problem until one of their jeep dealerships contacts them with a diagnosis problem, which seems very odd that they are not overly concerned with their product.
This is not the first time this has happened since i purchased the jeep in 2009 but it was the most significant one.all lights went off inside & out.there was some problem with the steering & the braking also.the motor did not die nor did the a/c or radio go off.when this happens all the warning lights flash a few times & for a few seconds i loose all the lights & experience the braking & steering problems.i did receive the recall notice for the ignition switch in september, 2014 stating that they were trying to get the parts for repair but i have not heard anything else from chrysler.this is the only vehicle that i have and at this point i am afraid to drive any distance.
When driving at night or when lights must be used during day light hours the lights in the cluster panel go out and come back on or dim and the return to their original brightness. When the turn signal "stalk" is puled in or pushed in everything is ok for a few miles. Also, once in a whiledashboard lights go off and on and chimes go off and on. This is occurring more frequently.
While driving at night, headlights on vehicle went off.by flashing the light switch to what would normally turn on the brights, the lights would come back on, regular strength (not the brights).this happens repeatedly every time the car is driven at night, several times during the night.
While driving the ignition turns off, the interior instruments don't work, the brakes, make a noise, the steering get hard to turn. When i turn the key back to the right everything comes back on. Occurred at least 5 times over last few months. Have been reported to dealership twice, who says dodge is dragging their feet with recall ignition switches. Have complained to dodge who says i have to brig it to the dealership for diagnosis and i may have to pay for it. But i have a recall notice on the part.
While driving at 70 mph at night, the headlamps and interior light began flashing. Then completely shut off. This happened 4 times in less than 25 mile. I had been driving for 3 hours that night. The next day it happened again as soon as i turned lights on at dusk. In less than 24 hours the lights flashed/turned off 7 times.
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.i realize that this is an older jeep but it seems chrysler should still be responsible for the vehicle safety.https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-jeep-cherokee-dashboard-shutoff-ignition-recall-watchdog-20141213-column.htmlthis article describes the exact issues i have seen repeatedly.now that the loss of power steering and braking assist have both happened over the last several weeks while driving (supposedly fixed by the ignition switch recall),this jeep is too dangerous to be on the road.
While driving the vehicle at night, the dash panel lights and headlights began to flicker on and off repeatedly. Turned the headlights off then back on and the problem went away for a few minutes then started again. The next day the service engine soon light came on and i lost acceleration ability, rpm's went up but the vehicle wouldn't accelerate while already in gear on a main road at a stop sign. Codes p0700 and p2767 were set.
Driving down a mountain grade, at 65 miles per hour, all power shut off including all dash lights, speedometer, power steering and brakes. Over the next 20 miles all of these systems flashed on and off about a dozen times or more. This erratic electric behavior continued on a daily basis until i took it into the dealership . The dealer was able to recreate the problem when they jiggled the ignition switch. I do not use a keychain, only the key, so i assume the problem was caused when i drove over bumps in the road.for $1,300, the dealer was able to fix the problem.
Since the day i purchased my certified used 2006 jeep grand cherokee, the interior instrument panel and dash lights have malfunctioned. The brightness flickers from low to very high, which is very distracting at night, some of the panel controls have since completely stopped working, and several times, all of the warning lights on the dash (seatbelt, airbag, check engine, etc) flash on and off while driving. This has happened at numerous speeds and times of the day. I video taped several incidents on my cell phone to prove it. Took it to the dealer and they said they can't duplicate the problem and the video means nothing. It happens more often, or is more noticeable, at night. They checked it in the daytime. Made no offer of any solution.
When the lighting bolt came on my car went limp it almost caused a major wreck on the highway
Headlights and dash lights are turning off when we take a right turn and use the blinker. This does not happen on every right turn only occasionally. We have turned the vehicle into jeep 5 times to be fixed and the issue continues to happen. Jeep has been unable to make car do this when they have the vehicle in for repairs but have replaced several parts on the vehicle.each time they return the vehicle to us, within two weeks the problem starts again. Each time, the headlights go out longer and longer and are harder to get to turn on.
The daytime running lights on 2006 grand cherokee vehicles is much too strong and blinding, leaving surrounding drivers potentially less apt to react safely to changing driving conditions. These are drl lights, not normal or high beams. All vehicles are the same, i have verified.

Engine, powertrain, door, dash, gas mileage.
While turning right into a parking lot at low speed, my knee brushed the key chain/key and ignition turned off while still in drive.has happened once more in the last month in a similar circumstance, both luckily at low speed in empty parking lots. Had to shift to park and restart engine to regain power/control.
Engine stalls for 2 to 3 seconds when turning or going over a slight bump, will not go when pressing on gas pedal til after the stalling.

I truck is not pulling good, i have to really step on the gas to make it go. Even if iam not going up a hill, i have to press the gas hard to make it go.
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 differential has an issue. I've gotten most of the front-end replaced: tire-rods, ball-joints, cv-shafts/axles, struts, stabilizer links and more. Now when turning the truck, there seems to be a lack of power as well. I had the battery and alternator tested and they both came back good. I find it hard to believe that internally the truck just wasn't meant to holdup.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact looked through the rearview mirror and noticed metal debris falling from underneath the vehicle. The contact pulled the vehicle off the roadway to inspect underneath it and noticed that the skid plate under the fuel tank was bent and rotting away. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously at the dealer (bob richards chrysler dodge jeep ram 1666 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829 (855) 984-5458) for power steering replacement and transmission inspection. While the vehicle was on the lift for the transmission inspection, the dealer's mechanic noticed that the skid plate was damaged, which could have been a fire hazard with a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken back to bob richards chrysler dodge jeep ram (1666 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829 (855) 984-5458) where it was diagnosed that the skid plate was gone and needed replacement. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for repairs due to the less expensive cost. The contact also stated that the vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system), but the failure continued and the ignition would inadvertently turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact believed that the failure was related to the wiring harness and not the ignition switch. When the vehicle was started and the engine was turned off, it restarted itself seconds later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 152,000.
"takata recall" i was involved in a side impact auto accident, air bags never inflated and i was injured. I was driving as a motorist went thru a stop sign and push the jeep into the other lane of traffic, i was going straight on a residential street.see also odi 10875419. *dsy..updated 12/11/17updated 06/15/18
Driving car just shuts off and loss of steering and breaks was in a rear end account because of this chrysler still not fixing i don't know what's going on with it unsafe to drive.
Started december 2013. When cold outside, jeep won't downshift. Going about 40mph & jeep stays at 3,000rpm's (or higher). When at stop sign/red light & i try to go it revs to 3000rpm's but only goes about 10mph. When it does finally reach 30mph-40mph it won't down shift. I have almost been rear ended several times. Taken to independent mechanic last year & put $700 into it. Was fine all spring & summer but yesterday was the first day the temps dropped into the 30's & it has started all over again. I cannot afford to go through this all winter again & cannot afford to keep dumping money into this jeep.
A year and a half ago i was on my way back home from a half an hour drive from town when i decided to stop at my parents house to get a drink. I wasn't inside for less then ten minutes, when i went to leave my jeep would not start at all. After a half hour later looking everything over i did notice the fuel pump fuse was melted and blown. I was asked bye american chevrolet dealership if i had something plugged into my cigarette lighter that could of blown it. I've been a mechanic for 11 years now and i've never known to see the fuel pump fuse ran to other components meaning interior outlets. Now a half year later i have been having problems starting my jeep at times and having no power to the motor at all. I want to get rid of this jeep. Now i had a recall on the neutral safety switch and just today i get another recall for the ignition switch. I keep having axel popping sounds out of the front passenger side and i'm fed up with this jeep.

I purchased a certified used 2006 jeep grand cherokee in 2008 with 26k miles. Besides a malfunctioning electronic shifter in 2009 everything has been running great until 1/2/2011. At approximately 6:30pm while driving on the freeway at 65mph all exterior lights and interior lights (except for the map lights) began to flicker and then fail. The lights would come back on for a few seconds and then fail. The problem occurred intermittently over the next 30 miles and persistently worsened until i got home when the lights remained off for 15 to 20 seconds at a time. Each time it failed while driving i cycled the switch, cycled the brights and tried anything i could to get the lights to stay on. None of these methods worked. Upon getting home safely i turned the car off and restarted it only to have the same problem after two restarts. I went to bed and tried it in the morning and the lights worked fine for a 70 mile daylight drive to the dealer. Just received word from the dealer that they could not replicate the failure so there is nothing they can do. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and dangerous to others on the road in this condition even if it only happens once every two years.
While driving at night, headlights on vehicle went off.by flashing the light switch to what would normally turn on the brights, the lights would come back on, regular strength (not the brights).this happens repeatedly every time the car is driven at night, several times during the night.
While driving down the road the dash lights will shut off and turn back on without warning. It almost seems like it shuts off but the engine stays running. The radio presets stay programmed. Has only done it twice in the last month and i've owned it for 3 years. Seems to do it in the extreme cold, but vehicle is fully warmed before i drive it. I usually let it run 20 minutes before i leave on days when it is really cold( usually below 32 degrees fahrenheit) all of the gauge lights shut off, the radio, interior lighting. Haven't noticed if exterior lighting goes off as well.

2006 jeep grand cherokee, 3 interior door handles have broken and doors cannot be open from the inside of the vehicle. This is a safety issue.in the event of an accident exiting the vehicle would be difficult if not impossible. Jeep is not standing behind these manufacturers defects and a recall is in order.
I am not sure how, but the rear passenger door panel cracked and door handle fell off leaving back seat passengers vulnerable (a child rides back there).in addition, there is a large crack in the panel of the front passenger door as well.i have 70,500 miles on the vehicle with a service contract of 7 years/85,000 miles maximum care still in effect.i took the vehicle to my local dealership (hall chrysler jeep in virginia beach) and was quoted $475 for a back ordered door panel (which to replace both doors comes to $950...unacceptable!)i refused to order the unit since this is a safety concern, and should be covered by my service contract.i contacted chrysler group, llc and was told that "handles and plastic parts are not covered"...the handle isn't broken, the panel needs to be replaced in order to correct this issue.i feel this is a genuine safety concern and urge the nhtsa to enforce a recall from jeep.if i were in an accident, my passengers would be trapped!!it is unconscionable that jeep would sell such a high-end vehicle with this kind of safety defect.of utmost concern is the fact that an extended, maximum care service contract would not cover this issue.i would like to know how other complainants with this issue had their cases resolved.updated05/12/11updated 06/28/11
The area behind the passenger side interior door handle has imploded, the plastic is cracked in several places, allowing the interior handle to hang loosely.the area would be best described as the well behind the handle. That door saw almost no use.it does not allow for normal exit of the vehicle, this is a safety issue.
Inside door handles are all broken and falling off . One back door will not open from the inside or the outside. The area behind the door handle is broken plastic that could very likely cause a bad cut on a persons hand.

I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited with only 50k miles and the door panels on 2 doors so far have broken out and now you can't get out of the vehicle from the inside. I have already had both front door panels/handles replaced. The plastic around the door handles is very thin and cheap and breaks very easily. This is a major safety concern for me especially with children. If these door handle/panels break then you have no way to get out of the car safely. Jeep doesn't seem to care about it and accepts no responsibility. I have done research on my own and found out that is a very common occurrence with this jeep model, across several years models. I am extremely frustrated about the poor quality of the vehicle compartment and service by jeep.
Door handles opening and closing during normal useon all four doors at approximately 50000 miles caused interior door panel to crack.this causes door handle to not function properly which is a safety issue if someone needs to exit vehicle quickly such as during an accident.i spoke with chrysler who insists it is a cosmetic issue, which it certainly is not.entire interior door panel needs to be replace on each door at cost of $600 each to fix this and this has not been done as of yet.
The plastic around my interior drivers side door handle cracked and shattered in multiple places causing the door handle to be held on just by the cable it is attached to.
All four door handles on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee have broken.two of the door handles were rendered inoperable due to the breakage.the other two are currently working but the breakage is getting progresivley worse.i believe this to be a serious safety issue for two reasons.one, an individual may not be able to egress the vehicle if an emergency arrises.two, the breakage creates sharp jagged edges which may harm children.when i contacted jeep they refused to address the issue because th evehicle is out of warranty.

Jeep grand cherokee interior door panels.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo with only 60,234k miles and the door panels on 3 of the 4 doors so far have broken out just with the normal use, interior door handle crack, plastic breaks,handles go limp and handles fall off. The plastic panel components are fragile and cheap. This is a major safety concern for me especially with two children of 1 and 12 years olds because in an event of fire or and accidentthe boys can not get out from inside the car due the broken door handles. Cant find part to replace the door handlesbecause the complete door panel has to be replaced and the cost for each of one are more than 500.00 dollarsand that's not including the labor cost.i havecall chrysler jeep and they offer no recall or solution for this seriousmatter.
During the month of may 2011 the plastic interior door handle recesses began to crack and ultimately the pieces literally began to fall of the vehicle rendering the door handles useless when attempting to open the door from inside as door handles no longer had a pivot point to operate against when attempting to pull the interior door handle in an effort to operate the door latch mechanism.this failure makes it impossible to open the door from inside the vehicle short of rolling down the power windows and pulling on the outside door handle. On the tenth of june 2011 the selling dealer was called concerning this issue and the operations manager stated he could not do anything.subsequently chrysler customer assistance was called and after several exchanges with two different case managers, on the 21st of june i was told by the presiding case manager that due to the fact that the vehicle had approximately 80,000 miles on it and had been out of warranty for so long (2006 jeep grand cherokee larado) chrysler would do nothing.
All 4 of the inside door handles have broken with no misuse whatsoever, as a matter of fact each door was "broken" by different people by simply trying to open the door.i am worried that if there was an accident my passengers or myself could not get out of the truck.
After 4+ years of consumer complaints about his very serious safety hazard, still nothing has been done. The door handles of my 2006 jeep grand cherokee started crumbling and cracking about two years ago at about 38,000 miles. A year ago, the first door handle simply broke off amongst shards of paneling around it, making the door inoperable. Today, three out of four panels have desintegrated around the handles to the point where they are inoperable as well, effectively trapping someone in the back of the vehicle if i dared to to have passengers and got into an accident. The driver's side is hanging by a thread. I am unable to drive my clients anymore due to liability issues and the danger that stems from this awfully poor design and quality. I have read 100s of testimonials to this avail from other jeep owners and this grave safety issue persists and is alive and well without any official push for remediation. The dealers want almost $3000 to replace their shoddy and dangerous door panels. Please. It is imperative that after years of collecting data on this issue, something will be done. These faulty door panels are turning the vehicle potentially into a death trap for anyone inside...

While driving the vehicle has a tendency to either not change gears (rev up) or even slip into neutral. It's creating a safety issue especially driving at highway speed. At times i am able to get to the side of the road turn vehicle off and shift it back in gear which sometimes i have to do it more than one time.
2006 jeep grand cherokee.consumer requests reimbursement for recall repairs. The consumer stated the costly repair of the shifter assembly did not successfully address the real defective part, the final drive controller module software, which was finally made public in 2013.in early 2010, the vehicle unintentionally shifted from drive into neutral, while the consumer was driving. Luckily, she was able to coast out of the roadway into a parking lot. The dealer mistakenly diagnosed the condition as a defective shifter and replaced it. At the end of may 2011, the vehicle once again shifted from drive into neutral on its own. The consumer no longer owns the vehicle.
I will be going at any speed and my jeep will just die or spit and sputter like its not getting gas then the rpm gauge drops to zero all the dash lights come on. This happens on the highway in the middle of intersection and it happens intermittently so you never know when its going to happen. Took it to mechanic and they told me the valve body solenoid was bad. If you search any of this online you will see that there are several people with the same problem this needs to be a recall before someone ends up dead!!

As driving the vehicle would switch into neutral on its own.i have seen there is a recall for this issue, but it does not include our particular vehicle (for whatever reason) but it should.the recall needs to be extended further.
Dear recipient,i am reaching out to make others aware of a serious problem with my family's 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While the vehicle was in park, with the keys out of the ignition, one of my members of my family was able to shift the gears from park to natural. The suv was parked in our driveway which has a slight decline in slope. Due to the decline and the vehicle being in neutral it started rolling backwards with my family member inside. We were cleaning the vehicle at the time of the incident so all the doors were open. The jeep picked up speed, hit our fence, and rolled out onto a public road and into our neighbor's yard. Lucky nobody was hurt, except for the jeep. This could have killed a member of my family or other civilians around the scene. I have had other issues with my jeep, one of which has been made into a recall without fixes. This recall is about the ignition switch going from on to off while driving. I can say from experience this has happened many times, and is extremely dangerous when it does happen; you lose the ability to control your vehicle besides having brakes. You loss power steering and experience engine failure in the middle of busy traffic. Besides that recall, the drivetrain being able to be switch in a parked position without the keys being in the ignition is the most frustrating, which could have killed my son, or others around. I bought this vehicle because i wanted something safe to drive my family in, and that has fallen very short from expectations . I don't understand how these vehicle issues can be swept aside; i might as well keep my old vehicle made in 1984. Please take these comments into consideration and i thank you for your time.
While driving at a speed of approximately 55 mph a noise occurred in the rear of the jeep. The noise became louder as i slowed down and finally stop. I had it towed to my dealer approximately 85 miles from where it happened. He said the rear end was badly damaged. The cost would be expensive, somewhere between $4000.00 to $5000.00. I have no idea how this could happen. My jeep is a personal use vehicle only, very easy miles and always serviced. I feel this failure is manufacture issue.

Shortly thereafter, the service 4wd system displayed again.the consumer learned a revised software program was written for the final drive control module, because the program may have been installed incorrectly.

At approximately 78k miles, vehicle would occasionally start and the only system that was operational was the radio.i cleaned and inspected all connectors that i could access, and problem appeared to go away.then just after the warranty expired (80k miles) intermittent electrical issues have begun to appear.the transmission sometimes "sticks" in 3rd gear, the windshield wipers fail to function and when i attempt to turn them on it crashes the powertrain control module which then begins running random system errors, and the headlights sometimes turn off or fail to come on.

I had n23 recall done on my jeep in 8/2013. I have had my jeep to 3 dealers 9 different times. Since the recall my 4wheel low/ neutral has not worked on jeep. I have had my actuator replaced and the final drive controller reprogrammed many times. The issue will fix for a day and then back to say fault code. My service 4wheel drive light comes on when i try and engage it. I have contacted jeep corporate and have been working with them but i don't feel they care. They have had me taking my car to all these different dealers and everyone says its something different and say they fixed it. I have been out of 800 or more in gas, 160 in diagnosis fees, 170 in tow bill from one dealer to another, and 600 for actuator. I have only had my jeep serviced at jeep dealers and it has always had all scheduled maintenance on time. I feel that the software that was installed on my jeep has caused all these issues. I never had any problems out of my 4wheel drive system. My first recall letter stated that my transfer case may experience a transfer case actuator encoder electrical failure that results in unintentional transfer case shifting into or through the neutral position. My jeep has been showing the same 4wheel drive code since the recall. I had to pay to replace my actuator cause they said it went bad after the recall. I feel like i have been taken advantage of i paid 51,000 for my jeep and have taken very good care of it. Someone has got to do something so jeep will fix everyone's suv. There are many others in this same position as me its posted all over the internet. This has been going on for 5 months and still no solution.
Esm (electronic shift module) is faulty on these models; 2006 jeep grand cherokee. This issue does not allow the shifter to communicate with the transmission. Therefore the vehicle does not know what gear it needs to be in. After having reresearched online this is a know, common issue. This is a serious danger as the vehicle goes into "limp" mode; (won't properly accelerate). This can happen under many driving conditions, city or highway. Imagine entering traffic at a busy intersection and suddenly losing the ability to accelerate. I have experienced this, as have many other individuals according to internet research. It seems that chrysler knows of the issue. Why hasn't there been a recall?

A lot of people on jeep forums have been reporting their jeeps showing a "transmission overheat" message in display and vehicle not turning over.is there a way nhtsa can look into this and see if jeep needs to issue a recall?this has now caught up to me, and i am having never ending issues with my jeep, and all that jeep says is sorry you're out of warranty....;i am the original owner since 2006, have about 130k miles, been through 3 catalytic converters, 2 exhausts and most recently a transmission rebuild, that was done 4 months ago, now i am having this issue...please please please please please look into this!
Takata inflator.i purchased my jeep and after a few months i notice it kept getting stuck in 3rd. Wouldn't come out. Then the message "transmission over temp" would pop up. It would randomly just loose all power and cut off as i would be driving. I had it looked at. Checked the codes bc check engine light would pop up also. Multiple codes were in the history pertaining to the issue. I was going to get everything fixed until i was told to contact jeep first bc there might be some recalls that others were experiencing my same problem. I would of paid for it regardless to fix the problems. It had numerous recalls. Made an appointment to mckinney dodge in easley,sc. After fixing the recalls i have paperwork for a few months later was doing it again. I work in a service dept. So i asked one my techs if it was same problem as the recalls and did i need to call dealership back. They said yes. Called mckinney and they refused to set me an appointment and said the problems had nothing to do with the recalls they fixed. After having several tows and stranded and almost wrecking with my children in the car going down the highway and just dies, i'm beyond frustrated and no one can seem tell me how to fix. After reading several reviews and recall information, my issues are everything with my recalls. My airbag light go on and off also. They never touched that and it's also a recall. I need to know what i need to do bc i'm not waiting for an accident or death bc this vehicle. It's my only car and i've tried to pay myself and had recalls fixed and problem is still there. I've contacted a lawyer. I want it fixed or i want another vehicle.

My son had his jeep in drive, sitting on an incline waiting to exit a parking lot.when he attempted to move forward the car had gone into neutral on its own and he rolled back into the vehicle behind him.he had to put the car in park, turn it off, start it again, and put it in drive before it would go forward. This incident caused damage to the front bumper of the car behind him.i took the jeep to the dealer and was told by their technician that the n23 recall had never been performed on this vehicle. It had been taken to another dealer to perform the recall by the previous owner before i purchased it and that dealer incorrectly reported that they performed the recall at that time. This recall was required to keep a car from slipping into neutral without input from the driver. I just bought this car in february and checked for any open recalls before purchasing.jeep was fraudulent when reporting this recall as completed and is responsible for the damage incurred.jeep did have my vehicle inspected, and i am still waiting to hear from them.i have attempted to contact them numerous times but still have not been contacted by them about this inspection.i am concerned about how many other grand cherokees owners are driving their vehicles thinking the recall had been performed and in fact it has not.
After my grand cherokee had the "n23" recall performed on it by the previous owner, the "service 4wd" indicator comes on and disables my transfer case shifting.i clear the codes and it works again for a short period of time then the codes return (c1406, c1405, c140f) disabling the shifting again.this appears to be a common issue with grand cherokees according to the information i have found on jeepforum.
Car has on 2 separate occasions jumped from drive into neutral.contacted chrysler as they have a recall on jeep grand cherokees for this issue.however, they say that this vehicle wasn't included in recall as it was notmanufactured at the same plant where the other vehicles were that mandated the recall.

After purchasing this car pre-owned in 2008 we began having issues with the transmission shifting.after bringing back into dealership for diagnostic testing, they found nothing.this went on for a period of two years, with them even keeping the car over a period of time.still nothing on the diagnostics.throughout the years we would notice a strong downshift when coming to stops and a "chug" when shifting out of low gears.fast forward to 2018.the jeep finally quit shifting out of first gear...the rpms would race up and the car just wouldn't sift even when using shifter stick manually to the + or -.brought to local mechanic.did diagnostics.found shifter was broken and replaced and reset.a few days went by and it started happening again.mechanic said that rear wheel sensor had gone bad and was throwing of computer brain of car, so we had him replace that.all was great.husband takes car on short trip and while passing a car in the left lane on interstate 10 it once aging chugs down hard and he loses gears...has to pull over on side of interstate, shut off car and restart to get it to shift again.bottom line is there has to be a long standing issue with drive/power train & electrical/computer brain!!!we have kept this car in great working order, regularly changing fluids and maintenancing.there is no reason this care should be behaving in this manner @ 12 years old, regularly maintained unless there is an outstanding issue with 2006 jeeps.it has to be an overall problem and after reading many of the complaints we believe this warrants an investigation and defintely a recall!!!all of the above issues happened in both city street and highway situations and while the vehicle was in motion.
On several occasions the grand cherokee has suddenly shut off while driving.the vehicle loses all power, loses power steering and brakes causing an extremely dangerous situation. Dash lights all go out. Upon restart, check engine light stays on but vehicle functions again.

Sequence of events:this has been my sons car since i purchased in 2008.[xxx] who was at college in greensboro, nc.[xxx] phoned me one evening, april 17, 2013 and stated that his jeep would not go out of 2nd gearand all lights came on and named the engine light?, ?bas?, traction control etc.he also stated that ?it jerks when accelerating and stopping?.he parked the car and my husband/[xxx] called cottman transmission in greensboro the morning of april 18th.we were told that nothing showed on the diagnostics and they needed to take out the transmission to assess.the cost would be $450.after taking out the transmission, we were told that it needed complete replacement.they proceeded with the transmission replacement and my son picked up the jeep on april 24th.i paid $2,185.77. As cottman stated the power train control module? was the original cause of problems with this vehicle.i never received a recall notice for any part on this jeep, possibly because the dealership i purchased it from closed several years ago.

2006 jeep grand cherokee after starting and putting into to drive the vehicle revved and took off with out the gas pedal being depressed.this has happened three times, with the last incident leading to a severe crash and injury.after the crash and the car stopping the engine was still revving.the incident was witnessed twice by the same person aside from the driver.
This is a common problem that is found all over the jeep forums and internet, these jeeps are known for the rear differentials failing and having to be replaced before the differentials fall apart and could cause a major accident, the differential will begin to fail by making a loud whine gear noise from the differential. This vehicle has never been off road and there is no reason for the entire differential to be destroyed like this, this is horrible quality and should be replaced by chrysler. This is not a user error, but a part manufacturing error or design error. This being so common it should be a recall. A woman and child in the car driven daily to school should not fail like this jeopardizing both lives.
Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.). After a few minutes of blinking and going dark, everything begins to work again, but the check engine light comes on. This exact scenario has happened multiple times. Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year. In once instance, i was driving around the city going 10-15 mph and this scenario happened and the brakes were not working properly and the car was very hard to turn. Everytime i have brought the car to the dealer they try to pull a code and nothing is available for them. At this point i am fed up so i am officially reporting the issue. It is completely unsafe to be driving when this happens, especially when you are on the highway. Let's hope something is officially done before anyone gets hurt.
When driving and you hit a bump dash light flash,car shuts down sometimes i've taken all keys,rings ect.offbut that don't help key still moves when driving, in june 2015 took it to have 2 recall orders fix which was flash final drive module and the final drive controller module every sense then car is worst off now,now transmission problems pop up that never poped up before this was done at ray laethem.had to buy and older car cause half the time to scared to dri the jeep i paid 15,000 dollars for i just want this jeep to run right and safe or buy it back i'm still waiting for the new ignition.
I received a recall notice n23 which said that i needed to call my local jeep chrysler service center as soon as possible to have the work done because the problem could cause a crash. I have been trying to call at least a couple of times a week since i have received this notice about 7 months ago and they told me that i am on a waiting list for the part. Nothing can be done until they get the part. Since then, the problems continue to get worse. Last night, i almost crashed as i lost control of the steering because the jeep seemed to lost control and died momentarily as the lights on my control panel were flashing. I was told it was all due to the key switch but i have now noticed that as the lights are all blindingly flashing there is a grinding noise that sounds like it is coming from under the car near the front. I am not a mechanic so i have no idea and i don't have money to take my jeep in and have them "try" to figure out what is going on and then charge me for possibly figuring it out. This is unacceptable! we have been waiting for almost seven months for parts that the notice says "please hurry!!! call the express service hotline 1-866-849-3608 right now to schedule your free repair". Is it because it is free repair that there is no hurry to get this fixed? i have a child! i almost wrecked. If anyone had been around me or i had been in a curve when i lost the ability to steer after the car died, we could have been killed or we could have killed someone else! i need help now!!!
The grand cherokee stalled at a light on a hill. Restarted it and but it back in drive but vehicle continued to roll back almost rolling into car behind. Stalled 4 more times but in parking lots and non busy roads. Took it back to dealer where they updated software on computer and said it was fixed. Then stalled on a busy highway and was almost rear ended because vehicle stalled and wouldn't go into gear. Then parked it in parking lot and it stalled in park.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the entire instrument panel illuminated intermittently.

On 01/20/2014, i brought my jeep grand cherokee 2006 to my mechanic due to a service 4wd system light on dashboard. My mechanic advised me that the computer revealed codesafety recall n23/nhtsa 13 v-175. Safety recall n23 may unintentionally cause the transfer case to shift to neutral position without input from the driver. This condition could allow the vehicle to roll away inadvertently while the vehicle is parked and cause a crash without warning. My mechanic advised me to go to my jeep dealership due to the safety recall.on 01/21/2014, i contacted via telephone the jeep dealership where i purchased my vehicle. I advised the jeep employee of the situation with my jeep grand cherokee 2006. The jeep employee advised that i would be charged for repair. I advised the jeep employee that the code n23 was a safety recall. The jeep employee responded by making an accusation that my mechanic's computer was probably outdated. In addition the jeep employee advised that the code n23 was not a safety recall. Continuing on the same date, i contacted another jeep dealership. I explained the situation with my jeep grand cherokee 2006. I was advised by the jeep employee that the code n23 is a safety recall and the jeep dealership would honor the recall. I conducted further research to discover that on 08/17/2013 i brought my jeep grand cherokee 2006 to the first jeep dealership mentioned for safety recall n23.

I smelled antifreeze on my 2 month old used 2006 jeep cherokee. I looked under hood. It appears the transmission seal is leaking. Or transfer case. I have a warranty but really? i just got this vehicle.

My vehicle was in motion on the highway, on a straight-away. I heard a loud boom, then my vehicle started to smoke. I pulled off the road; and called for a tow. The mechanic stated that it was the transfer case seal that blew. He changed it and added fluid, but the noise is still there. He said that if it doesn't go away. Now, the jeep won't shift out of first gear. It has been sitting in my driveway since i picked it up from the mechanic on 12/4/17.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 50 mph, the driveshaft blew up and the contact heard a noise underneath the driver's seat. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and replaced the driveshaft and crank case. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated when he stopped at a red light the vehicle shifted into neutral gear. The rpms increased excessively; however, the vehicle would not shift into drive or reverse. The contact stated that nhtsa recall campaign id number: 13v175000 (electrical system, power train) was related to the transfer case; however, the dealer stated the manufacturer confirmed the vin was not included. The failure mileage was 76,000 and the current mileage was 76,360.

The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the electrical system began to malfunction and caused the vehicle to down shift to the four wheel drive and damaged the rear axle. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic for inspection but they could not diagnose the cause of failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000. The vin was unavailable.
While driving my vehicle suddenly shifted gears and coasted as if it were in neutral while rpms shot up to 3,000. It then suddenly lunged forward and picked up speed. The check engine light came on. After a day or so, the light would go off. Within the time frame of approx 3 weeks, this had occurred at least 3 times. It was very scary to have it change gears and not be able to maintain speed and suddenly speed up again while traveling with vehicles in front of me and behind me. You essentially have no control of the vehicle in that moment, nor do you have any warning that it is about to happen. Drivers around you also have no warning that your car will suddenly slow down or lunge forward. Took it to the dealership to be looked at. Was told that it was my electronic shifter module and had it replaced. Although i have a power train warranty, it was not covered and had to pay over $900. Did research online and came across numerous others with the same issue. I feel that if this critical part fails on so many vehicles it should be made a recall. When this part fails, it has the potential to cause many accidents.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, all of the lights on the gear shift illuminated and the vehicle independently decelerated to 20 mph.

The failure recurred the following day. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 77,000.
My 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited pops out of gear while driving it is very dangerous because you never know when it is going to happen.
Driving 30 mph, after about 3 miles of driving my check engine light came on.followed the tips to check the code and it says "transmission over temp".everything seems to be ok at the time but i'm sure this will eventually cause a problem.a couple months ago the whole instrument cluster cut off and on 2 times in a couple minute window but that seems to have been an isolated incident since it hasn't happened since.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the gear automatically shifted into neutral. The abs, and traction control warning lights illuminated. The independent mechanic borchert motors located at 18295 faribault blvd faribault mn, 55021; (507) 334-7271 was contacted where the mechanic stated that there were several recalls for this year, make, and model.

N23 recall was performed to keep transfer case from shifting into neutral caused by cracked circuit board. The "fix" to this was to flash the software to make it impossible for the jeep to shift into neutral and 4wd low. Now every vehicle that has had this recall done is unable to tow their vehicle behind a camper because the transfer case can not shift into neutral, and 4wd low is inoperable as well. Chrysler has claimed that the n23 recall has nothing to do with all of these vehicles losing 4wd low even though everyone that has had this recall done has lost neutral and 4 lo. This cheap fix has left thousands of people who spent a lot of money on these expensive vehicles without the best feature of the vehicle, 4 lo. Most people buy these jeeps because of their 4wd capability. Resale on a vehicle like this has gone right out the window with the loss of this feature. Http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/n23-recall-issue-no-4-low-1561787/ this site has an outstanding number of complaints about this problem and makes it impossible to deny that chrysler has neglected to take care of the issue.

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 differential has an issue. I've gotten most of the front-end replaced: tire-rods, ball-joints, cv-shafts/axles, struts, stabilizer links and more. Now when turning the truck, there seems to be a lack of power as well. I had the battery and alternator tested and they both came back good. I find it hard to believe that internally the truck just wasn't meant to holdup.
My jeep has been slipping out of gear while driving frequently and all the car does is rev, as if it is in neutral.this has happened off and on over the last two years and nothing has been done about it.i have taken it to the dealership multiple times and they tell me that everything is fixed.then it happens again when i least expect it.it is very dangerous for this to be happening while i'm driving with my 2 year old daughter in the car.i called the chrysler recall number and they told me that i was not included in the recall and to just take it to the dealership, which i have already done several times and am tired of wasting my money.this is happening to my car and i don't want to wait until an accident happens.i will continue to log complaints and document each time this happens until something is done.

Vehicle has stalled while in drive at various speeds, in reverse or idling at a stop.this issue has been ongoing for over 2 years - has been brought to the dealership; was never told there was a recall on the ignition switch until i brought recently to midas for the above issues.they advised the engine shuts off due to the ignition switch being faulty.there has also been occasions that the abs seems to engage while in drive, typically occurs when turning. Unknown if this is associated with the faulty ignition switch.was told by chrysler that the recalled part would be available as of september 11, 2015 - it is still not available.this vehicle is unsafe to drive.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that there was a failure with the gear box. While driving 55 mph, the gear suddenly slipped out of fifth into first gear and caused the vehicle to jerk and brake suddenly, which nearly caused a crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

Traction control light flickers causing loss of power and the vehicle would surge even on incline, check engine light appear at random times and turns off on its own it gives codes u404 and another code witch i cant recall off the top of my head. Accelerating from the start will hesitate and feellimited to power .transmission hard shifts at time and clunks forward when decelerating then accelerating .
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 had then23 recall done on my jeep and it no longer shifts into 4 low. Chrysler isnt putting out a real fix to this problem that they created.
Transmission disengages at speed from drive to neutral.shift lever and indicator remain in drive even though vehicle loses motive power.i thought we were going to get rear ended.i had to pull over to the shoulder and restart the engine to put it back in drive.this problem has occurred three times previously.after checking all the blogs, i see that the switch contacts in the esm (electronic shift module) are prone to failure.the esm/shifter bezel is a $795 part from chrysler.
Hello, i had n23 recall done on my jeep ,after getting alot of snow in dec i decided to shift into x4 low and it said service 4x4 system. I know that my 4x4 low worked before having this update.
I have a jeep grand cherokee(2006). Over the past 5 years, it has intermittently had problems. Sometimes while driving and after startup. These problems have always beenloss of gauges, flashing lights in dash, what appears to be the traction control or brakes kicking in and the loss of power steering? when this first started happening i thought maybe the computer had been vibratedor jostled and had a glitch. Over time it would go away and 6 months or so later happen again! i have done everything in my power to stop this from happening, ie changing parts and trouble shooting the problems to no avail. I thought i had this narrowed down to a rusted connection from a ground wire connected to the block.....wrong again! this morning i had my 4 year old son in the jeep and was taking a left at a busy intersection. I clearly had enough time to make the turn, but as i was turning it sounded like my anti lock brakes were kicking inmid turn with a car coming right at us! i made the turn pulled over on the side of the road. All my gauges were dead, check engine light on and only the gear selector was visible. I have read on many jeep related forums, that this is not only happening to my jeep but many others! while reading i have noticed one thing. In many cases these problems were solved by replacing the ignition switch! after reading this i further researched the problem against recalls. I found that, according to the wall street journal, ny times, usa today and forbes, chrysler is allegedly recalling these vehicles with faulty ignition switches. So i called my local dealer. They looked my jeep up in their database and told me they'rewere no recalls on my vehicle and that they haven't recalled any vehicles for faulty ignition switches. I would appreciate it if the nhtsa could help with some of these problems and answer some of these question i and many others have.

While driving on the highway, my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo, jerked violently out of gear (almost into neutral?) and the engine light came on. The gear lights lit up and i had to manually shift it back into automatic.the dealership scanned the code & determined that it was a bad shifter control module.they said i could continue to drive it for a while but it would eventually need replaced.estimated cost for part $747(excluding $78 in labor).drove it but realized that it was happening more frequently, many times on the highways traveling at fast speeds.almost wrecked several times because the part malfunctioned when trying to slow down when the roads were snow covered & icy.this is a serious & potentially fatal safety problem for myself & others on the road that requires immediate attention.i am uncertain as to why chrysler has not recalled this part or atleast looked into it.i reported it to chrysler only to find out that they had no knowledge of the complaint.??there are numerous complaints from other owners that have had the same problem, yet no actions have been taken to remedy the issue.does there need to be a death to obtain a recall?i am certain that i will purchase a vehicle from general motors in the future if there is no corrective action taken.

I was going down the highway, and all of a sudden i had no power. It was like i turned the car off. Luckilyi was able to put the car into neutral and restart it. This has happened several times sense i bought the car in may of2011. When this does happen i have no power, no dash lights, no nothing.
All the lights on my instrument panel started flashing and i lost the ability to see my speedometer, the fan was not blowing and this continued until the lights started flashing. The check 4wd system came on and has stayed on. The check 4wd system light came on not long after i bought it and i took it back to the dealership and i was told that it is because there are aluminum parts that get stuck and you can ignore it. That it was working fine. I rarely use my 4wd system and the check engine light would go off normally after i turned the car off. This started happening more frequently and now the lights flashing on my instrument panel is happening all of the time. The check 4wd system light has stayed on for the last few months.

I began to get a whining noise from the transmission. I brought the car in for service and recommendation were to service the transmission and the noise went away. Just recently the whining noise returned and now when shifting from first gear into second it is a hard shift not fluid and smooth. The service station who i have been going to for over 30 years is a very reputable and a life long friend. He found no codes from the on board computer and his recommendations were to have the car checked by and jeep dealer for more complete diagnoses as they have equipment that might help with the problem but his diagnosis was probable bad transmission. From the start this car always had a shift problem from first to second. Many times there was a delay in from park to drive and had brought the car in for service while under warranty but was told there were no codes nor anything wrong with the transmission. I have been told by my mechanic the jeeps are known for bad transmission but never got any service calls.
While driving the gear lights on the dash will all have a square around them. When it does this the truck becomes in neutral , and is unable to accelerate.

I had my check engine light diagnosed and found to be the esm shifter, an electronic device that connects the gear shifter to the transmission.it was said to me that this helps regulate that the transmission stays in the correct gear while driving.i have found that the transmission sticks in a certain gear even though it is not the correct gear i am driving in.i have found that i have had to pull over, put the vehicle and park so that it clears before going back in gear.i have also found that that process does not always work, when that has not worked, i would have to turn the vehicle off and back on for it to shift properly.i also had an incident that while using cruise control i was going up a hill so the cruise control kicked in to give the extra boost but it did not shift back down.i was quickly accelerating (almost to 90 in about 5 seconds) and being close to reaching 5rpms i had to turn off cruise control and shift into neutral for it to stop accelerating.due to the extended warranty i purchased it was not covered.i have talked to a few mechanics and they all have said they have replaced multiple recently.when talking to jeep headquarters, they stated that it has not been reported as a defective item.i was advised to contact nhtsa to report this in hopes that other have done so so that jeep is required to make this a recall item.from what i have heard, it has been a fairly common item that needs replacing.

A recall (n23) was issued (july 2013) by chrysler corp. To resolve a problem with the transfer case not engaging 4low and / or shifting into neutral.all this happens at random.once the in-dash warning of "service 4wd system" appears, the vehicle has to be returned to the dealer for repair.after two attempts the problem has not been resolved.a third appointment is scheduled for friday january 17.various investigating (internet) suggests that most that have returned their vehicles for correction have also not been resolved.chrysler corp. Has been unresponsive to various communication from many jeep owners and the jeep dealerships are not communicating to the factory regarding the many complaints.i want to sell this vehicle and with the recall liability not being resolved i'm unable to sell it.
The transmission has been struggling changing gears and this has been happening for many years. You may look back and see where we made this complaint initially and the problem had been occurring long before this and continues to get worse. I know the 2005jeep cherokees were recalled for having the very same issue from the many mechanics who have driven my car to see what the problem was. One of the mechanics where i took it to was chrysler jeep in asheville, n.c. The mechanic said that i did have a 2005 transmission which had been on your recall list. I would like to get this problem resolved asi have been traveling with this issue for quite sometime with no resolution.
I received the safety recall notice n23/nhtsa 13v-175 in the mail and called a local dealership to try to schedule a service appointment to have this corrected. The dealership is don white's timonium chrysler jeep dodge located in cockeysville, md. I called on the phone twice to attempt to schedule this service and was disconnected both times. Then, i proceeded to try and schedule an appointment online thru their live chat service and was told that i would be contacted by the service department to confirm my appointment, but i never was. I just thought someone should know the lack of professionalism i experienced and the message i received from this experience is, "we do not want to deal with your safety recall." i have since scheduled an appointment at another local dealership.

We have been waiting over 9 months since our initial letter from chrysler notifying us that our electrical switch was questionable. There is also a recall out for power train parts where the jeep may slip into neutral--this has happened several times, to the point where we are unsafe driving it. Any contact with chrysler has resulted in "we've forwarded your complaint to our parts department" and then no response. We were told that no parts are in manufacturing--there aren't even parts to fix the problems!! we cannot drive our jeep for fear of death / injury. Please help us resolve this problem.
While driving my vehicle suddenly shifted gears as if it were in neutral while rpms shot up rapidly to 3,000. It then suddenly lunged forward and picked up speed. The check engine light came on. After a day or so, the light would go off. It was very scary to have it change gears and not be able to maintain speed and suddenly speed up again while traveling with vehicles in front of me and behind me. You essentially have no control of the vehicle in that moment, nor do you have any warning that it is about to happen. Drivers around you also have no warning that your car will suddenly slow down or lunge forward. Most of the time i have to pull over and put the vehicle in park and then back into drive for it to work. Happens at any given time, whether im going 5 mph or 65 mph.. Even on highways. Can be very dangerous.
The check engine light would come on and the car would jerk at high speeds on the freeway, it even powered down completely on the freeway after reaching a high of 65pmh. The car would make strange grinding noises and lose power steering also. The vehicle was brought to the jeep dealership and diagnosed finally after 2 visits as a faultyshifter module/control module or the cars "computer".
My vehicle started originally slowing down like it slipped out of gear. I was told i needed a new transmission but when i replaced it i still had the same exact problem with the vehicle staying in limp mode and check engine light on, rpm running high and not going into overdrive. The transmission is not shifting correctly after spending over $1500.00 on it. From my research i have arrived at the esm to be causing the problem with the vehicle not indicating what gear for the transmission to shift into. I have called the jeep corporate office and even though they know that the transmission needed a repair when i first bought it with 17,000 miles on it they still did not feel they were responsible for my transmission problems. To me that are just avoiding the fact that this is a manufacture issue with either poor design, construction or quality of parts. I had a 1994 amigo that i put 280,000 miles on and i never once had any type of transmission issue. This is a 2006 vehicle this is the poorest experience i have ever had with a vehicle.

I filed complaint (10561016) when the first jeep dealer i went to would not honor the safety recall n23. The second jeep dealer i went to said they would honor the safety recall n23. After going to the jeep dealer they checked their records and advised me the recall was already completed on my jeep grand cherokee. I was advised that my jeep grand cherokeeneeds a transfer case actuator and i will be charged for this part and labor. In addition they advised this part is on back order. My jeep grand cherokee's 4wd lo was working prior to this safety recall n23. I feel that chrysler/jeep should be held accountable for replacing this part. I intend to write my state attorney general.

I recently had the safety recall n23 / nhtsa 13v-175 / reprogram final drive controller module; performed on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee (last eight digits are vin # [xxx]). Jeep advised that the ?above vehicles may unintentionally cause the transfer case to shift into the neutral position without input from the driver.? therefore during the recall the computer was re-flashed to reset the drive control module, when the recall was performed my jeep as many others ((just check these links >http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140221/carnews/140229945 orhttp://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/n23-recall-issue-no-4-low-1561787/)) will not go into 4wd low or complete neutral, at all. There is no doubt among logical thinking people that to re-flash the drive control module will influence the drive control module and in this case in a negative manner. I have been back to the dealer (egolf motors in brevard, nc) who performed the flash and they advise they are waiting on jeep to decide how to repair the program. Jeep corporation advises they are waiting on the dealer; it is just the old run around.please ask the jeep corporation to take full responsibility, to get this problem fixed and let us know who are waiting that they will in fact do it.

On the date mentioned the vehicle described became locked in place unable to shift gears. The vehicle was towed into the dealer and the work performed . This involved the replacement of the transmission transfer case. At the time i questioned the possible reasons for the incident and received no answer. The total cost was in excess of 3000 dollars paid by me.i have since (upon conducting research) learned that the chrysler corp. Has reluctantly issued a recall for this exact issue. It was issued in may of this year. The agency report specifically characterizes the electrical transfer case issue. I made repeated calls to the chrysler corp. And have been rebuffed with the explanation being "your vin is not included in this action." i find this incredulous.my vehicle, a 2006 jeep grand cherokee absolutely falls into the recall category.the invoice (#[xxx]) i received from world jeep where the repair work was completed identifies the cause and repair as transmission/transfer case 2168cpdca.the case number i was given by chrysler corp. Is identified under # [xxx].the recall campaign number under your agency 13v175000. It is carried by chrysler under campaign number n23.i cannot understand the arrogance of a corporation such as chrysler in light of such absolute evidence to the contrary of their stance. I am requesting your assistance in this matter. Any documentation heretofore mentioned can be forwarded to your agency if necessary.

The vehicle goes into what's called a 'limp mode' which essentially means it has lost communication with the transmission control module and the vehicle will not shift.
When driving transmission has not been properly shifting into proper gears. The transmission is sounding as if it is struggling to shift into the gear it should be in.this has been happening for many years. This happens in all driving areas, hills, flat roads, short trips, long trips. Began 2011.
I received a recall letter in june 2013 from chrysler recall n23/nhtsa 13v-175 transfer case actuator. Stating software was not available just yet to fix. Then in august 2013 received a second recall notice explaining that the software is now available for the recall to be resolved. All i have to do is go to a chrysler/dodge/jeep dealership and have the software reprogram the final drive controller module.on august 13/2013 i had the recall serviced at johnson dodge dealership inbudd lake nj ( 481 rt 46 budd lake nj 07828). They did service my vehicle for said recall. The next day and everyday since i have a warning light on my dash stating""service 4wd system". I read the car manual and did some trouble shooting, but light still on. I tried to put vehicle into 4wd lo, as instructed by the car manual. Result, is doesn't go into 4wd lo, warning message still coming on. I made an appointment(august 22/2013) for the same dealer to inspect this issue because i do believe possibly something was either done incorrectly, or wrong software. End result from second visit to dealer is , my transfer case actuator needs replacing !! ($600 plus tax) . They will replace it, but i feel the two issues are related, and i should not have to pay the bill. The dealer reinspected all above components and stated the software is not working properly with the actuator? so end result is they want to replace the actuator. My original recall letter said i may have a fault in the actuator, but the secondletter stated for the new software to fix all. The dealer said thats all they can do! call chrysler and see what they say. Tried to call a second dealer, ( dover dodge in randolph & rockaway nj) and still waiting for a call back. I then called a 800# for chrysler a customer hot line (800-992-1997) given to me by dealer, those too, i'm waiting on a resolution. [xxx].

In december my local jeep dealership installed safety recall n23 code. Five days later i towed my jeep behind my motorhome to florida in neutral/tow mode. When i arrived i could not get my jeep out of neutral mode...message "repair 4 wheel drive system". I went to a local transmission shop and they replaced the transfer case motor at the cost of $600.00. When we got ready to leave florida in april i could not get the jeep to go into neutral/tow mode...same message. I went back to the transmission shop... This time they tested the motor and reset the codes...i was able to go into tow mode. Now in may as we were hooking up to go camping i could not go into tow mode..same message again. There are many jeep owners having this same problem after installing n23. I believe that the reason this transfer case motor and actuator is on back order is because of all the replacements after installing n23. I think that jeep has to resolve this code problem...and i also believe that a repayment from jeep is in order.
The check engine light would come on and go off..i was driving around 60 mph the car shifted into neutral and lost power...i was able to steer to the side of the road but i was in three lanes wide of traffic on the highway and had i not been in the lane closed to the side of the road i could have been badly injured. Within the time frame of three weeks it happened 4 times...all when i was driving highway speeds except once the car shifted into neutral on its own and powered down when i was at a stop sign in town. The check engine lights comes and goes so fast by the time i can get to a repair shop and have it scanned its usually off. I was able to scan it once and it read a code for "transmission control module"...the car runs great but i don't understand why it just powers down. How many people have to get injured from this failure before someone fixes it! this is absurd!
While accelerating attempting to merge onto highway vehicle loses all power and transmissions seems to disengage and only coasts.car acts like if i shifted into neutral but gear selected is still drive.check engine light illuminates and engine responds to acceleration but no movement is given by transmission.rpm gauge goes all the way down to idle.had to pull over the side of the road place in park, shut engine off and restart the vehicle then continue.this is a very dangerous and frightening situation, all power is lost and no control of acceleration is given.this is the 5th time in a year time span, this has happened.started at about 50000 miles.this has almost caused rear end collisions as well, please look into this matter.i cannot imagine what other less skilled drivers do especially carrying children or pets very dangerous, needs a recall or sb.
I took my 2006 jeep grand cherokee ( 63000 miles ) to the dealers for the n23 recall to reprogram the final drive controller,so the car wouldn't shift into neutral by itself and roll away. A few days later the code; service 4wd system appeared on the dash. When i returned to the dealer for a different recall, i told them of the problem and asked them to check if the reflash had caused this error code. Just like i have read on jeep forum and online news articles, the dealer claimed that this is the first time they have seen this problem and it has nothing to do with the n23 recall. They wanted $350.00 to diagnose the problem,plus labor and parts to repair the car. I believe the antioch jeep dealership knows that the recall reprogramming of the final drive controller showed that there is a cracked circuit board in the unit and that it is a systemic problem in over 250,000 cars. I would ask your help in bring this problem out into the open,so all car owners in my situation,are not asked to pay for this repair. Also i ask that you help us make the jeep corporation stand by their product, do the right thing, and make this repair free through a new recall.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving my 2006 grand cherokee the vehicle will switch into neutral on it's own.this has occurred while stopped at lights, while driving at 70 mph, so on and so forth.the check engine light reads "shift control module" and this has been replaced twice and has not been cheap.when this occurs, the dash board lights light up around all gears (park, reverse, neutral, and drive.)i have had to pull off onto the side of the road and turn off my vehicle and restart it before it would switch back into the correct gear.i am wondering if the new safety recall 13v175000 is covering this issue.as i read, it seems my vehicle is not the only one with this problem.my next step was to replace the entire transmission as the person working on the vehicle did not know what else to suggest.this is very dangerous, especially with having to share this vehicle with a teenage son.

I do not remember exactly when the problem started, but while driving at night, my lights started flickering and then went out all together.i thought it happened when i turned my signal lights on, but i am not sure if this is the cause.i took it to the jeep dealer and they could not find anything.every now and then, i have the same issue, but nothing can be found.this is very dangerous for me and it terrifies me that someone will think i am flashing them and become angry.there is obviously something wrong if there are so many with this type of problem, but nothing is being done about it. I purchased as a one person lease vehicle from a dealership and within a year had to have my transmission replaced. I could not enter transmission in the parts section.
When driving the lights around the gear indicators will circle all the gears and vehicle drops into what feels like neutral and loses power. Then it will randomly drop back into drive. Happened a couple of times then check engine light came on. Code given was loose ground wire in tranny. Dealer fixed. 1 week later happened again and check light came on again. Dealer got same ground wire code, took apart again and wire was fine. Reset light. Still having same problem with shifting and has happened when just engaging to leave out of parking lot then 3 times on hwy at 55 mph. Very scary as don't know if going to go back into gear or power loss will cause someone to rear end you at high rate of speed. Can't always find a place to pull over and re-engage gears. Check engine light came on again today taking it back in for review. Why hasn't there been an investigation or a recall? does there have to be a fatal accident to get attention to this dangerous matter? i love my jeep but not enough to die for it!

Chrysler issued a n23 recall notice due to cracking circuit boards in the transfer case actuator (vehicle may inadvertently shift in to neutral). Prior to the application of this recall my vehicle was capable of engaging 4lo. Afterwards (immediately afterwards in the dealership parking lot) the transfer case would not shift. Each attempt would result in a "service 4xd system" and would trigger a c140f trouble code. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the recall flash to be the issue. From jeep forums i have found myself to be one of hundreds if not more that encountered this issue. This recall is in essence a software work-around for a hardware issue. This recall is obviously a cheap attempt at fixing a costly issue of replacing the defective actuators with new. As a consumer i expect the manufacturer to fix potentially dangerous issues (such as what n23 attempts to do). However, it is not acceptable in doing so to damage the vehicle further or render systems inoperable.
After doing the safety recall n23 for the jeep grand cherokee 2005-2010, a month later the 4x4 low don't engaged anymore, and "service 4wd system" warning light on, when you pull the 4x4 low switch.i've been reading a lot on the web and it seems to happen to all the people after doing the recall service.i'm from caracas venezuela.
Received 'transmission over temp' message on dashboard after about 10 miles of driving in the morning. When the car has been in the heat for a while, the message could appear before 10 miles (sometimes immediately). The fan turns on and there is a definite lag in acceleration. Along with this error, i also get the 'service, tire pressure system' message consistently. I've visited my mechanic with both issues and they thought it was fixed by the new battery, but they only drove the car for 8 miles to attempt getting the transmission hot, nor did they probably hit a bump/pothole to trigger the tire pressure system. They're puzzled as to why those messages are popping up because they don't see any further issues with the car.
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
Coupling between output shaft on transmission and input shaft on power transfer shaft input failed under regular use stripping input spline on pto and is not under warranty, the auto was moving forward slowly making a left turn from a green traffic signal
Was going down interstate 40 coming from little rock ark. Jeep started to slow down pressed on gas would not speed up. There are so many eighteen wheelers on that interstate. I managed to pull over. Started to shifted from park to drive and drive kicked in. I had two children in the jeep with me .i can not even think about what might have happen if one of those trucks had hit me in the rear. This is a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. I have looked on line for recall there was a recall on the 2008 models . The transmission control module . I have been told that is the problem with my jeep.when i made in home this happened again coming down my street in halls tn. Got to my drive stop pulling. Put in park back to drive made in driveway. I have seen on line this is a problem with lots of jeeps not only mine. Please fix this problem before someone get hurt or dies. What does it take!!!!!!! help!
While driving on a highway, i noticed my car slowed down and even after applying the gas pedal, it didn't help. After pressing the brakes and pushing the gas pedal again, then it started accelerating. The engine light would blink and lately it stays on. The check engine light stays on and off but once i noticed that when i started the car again, the check engine light was off but i lost one front headlight. I was told by the dealership that i needed to replace a spark plug which cost me almost 300.00. Now the check engine light is on again and i suspect as other owners have shared it in the forum that it's the ignition switch that's faulty. I just wish nhtsa would do something about this asap. The letter came the mail stating there is a recall on my car but nothing is being done to correct the problem. Are you waiting for severe accidents to happen before you really force jeep to correct this issue??? do people have to lose their lives before you act on this problem?
Abs eas and traction controll warning lights on again with service 4wd system message after completing 1st recall, vehicle was just started and put in to drive acceleration to 12 mph causes bad grinding noise and loss of power just about enough to get you in to the middle of an intersection very dangerous then it seems to catch and regains power the warning lights stay on and you can drive it all day with no issues but as soon as you turn it off and back on it will do it again.
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.
Took the vehicle in for a noise that turned out to be a bearing problem. While in they indicated that an internal transfer case seal was leaking. I am being told thattype of failure is very common with this type of vehicle. If unnoticed could cause a failure.
We purchased in oct. 2006,a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4, v6 with 5 speed auto transmission, vin [xxx]. There is a safety problem related to this vehicle and transmission.problem:the vehicle has no hill holding capabilities. In other words, when stopped on a hill, the brake must be held on with your left foot and your right foot on the gas pedal in order to move forward with out the vehicle drifting backward. In all the automatic vehicles that i have owned since 1958, including 1993 and 1996 jeep grand cherokees, none pf them were without hill holding capabilities. The first time i stopped on a hill with this vehicle, i drifted backwards and almost hit the vehicle behind me before i realized what was happening. This to me is a very unsafe condition and something damiler chrysler should be addressing. In expressing my problem to d.c. Customer service, i just got lip service. This is why i'm expressing my problem to you in hope that a solution can be found. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
When attempting to accelerate after a stop, vehicle will only coastafter attempting to accelerate. This also happens after making a turn; the vehicle will initially attempt to begin to move then will only coast while gas pedal is pressed. I have almost been in a couple of accidents because people think i am accelerating and they almost run into the back of me.
2006 jeep grand cherokee make a grinding noise while turning. Consumer states that the mechanic could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. When noise occurred again it also made the entire front panel flash.the dealer informed the consumer the tires had been rotated and the griding noise should cease. The consumer was told the transmission was leaking, so the dealer replaced the o-ring and a bushing.
Transmission fails at highway speeds. Dashboard says its in drive but when you rev the engine its in neutral. I had to coast off the highway and restart the engine. It worked fine, but isn't it dangerous losing power in the middle of the highway with tractor trailers coming at you at full speed from behind? this isn't the first time it has happened. It happened many times before.
The transmission in my 2006 jeep grand cherokee has been slipping. I had it checked out and i was told it is ok. Then a few weeks later, i take off from a stop light and my engine revs to 3000 rpm and i am losing speed in heavy traffic. Then the engine light came on. So i take it to the dealer. They check it out and tell me it is the electronics in the shifter that is bad. I ask what is wrong and the service advisor takes me to the mechanic. He tells me about the issue and says that they have seen alot of these issues and the back order on the part is 450 parts in the negative. I think this is a potential problem and should be investigated for a possible recall.
Engine, powertrain, door, dash, gas mileage.
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.
My wife and i purchased a 2006 jeep wk 4x4 on feb 20 2006.as soon as we left the dealership with 150 miles on it the air bags malfunctioned and had to be repaired.about 1 week after the repairs they malfunctioned again and where fixed again only to malfunction 2 more times and the dealership said there was no problems and cleared the codes.at the 3000 mile service there was an oil leak on the front crank seal which was replaced.it has also been in the shop 5 times due to an engine malfunction light in which case there was a multiple cylinder misfire, the dealership said there where no problems and cleared the code every time only for it to come back on.i just picked my vehicle up from the dealer again because the crank pulley and dampener where wobbling real bad and the check engine light was on again for the same reason.all repairs where made and after i left the dealership 15 miles down the road the light came back on.the transmission shudders when i'm stopped and shifts real hard.the dealership said its fine and there is now evidence of that.all these incidents are ongoing since the day it was purchased.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.the check engine indicator light illuminated.the vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, and the computer stated that the component etax was failing.the dealer stated that the repair partwas on back order.the current mileagewas 36,690, and failure mileage was 35,800.
Jeep grand cherokee 2006. While driving car will failto change gears.very dangerous on expressway.transmission stalls at will.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo, 3.7l v6. I havemany problems with the transmission, first it was the shifter, second it was a solenoid problem, now i have a shutter and vibration as i am driving down the expressway. I have had it in 3 times now for the same problem. When the tranny starts to vibrate, i notice that the rpms go up about 2-3000rpms. Took it back and the repair guy says that jeep has recalled the torque converters for a shutter problem and could replace it up 100k miles. I have over 100k and it will not get fixed under this recall or tsb due to mileage, i think someone needs to take a hard long look at the time that chrysler should have to replace at their expense. This issue has cost me well over $1000 so far and it is back in the shop for the same thing yet again today.
Starting at around 55,000 miles while i would be driving my jeep, the car would stop moving but the engine would rev as i pushed on the pedal. I would not be able to go in drive, neutral or reverse. I would have to put the car in park and turn off the vehicle, wait a few seconds then restart the car. I have had my car at my mechanics as well as a jeep dealership, a total of 5 times, now ready to go back in for the 6th time. Each time i am told the problem is fixed and a day or 2 later it happens again. When i call to let the mechanic know i am having the problem again, i am then told that neither they nor the dealership know what the problem is and to bring it back in. Leaving me without a car for days. I have spent a lot of money on this vehicle and do not want to spend thousands more fixing a problem that is not fixable. I have 2 small children, and fear that somebody is going rear end the car when is just stops. I have contacted the manufacturer of jeep and was told only "certain" 2006 jeeps were under recall, mine was not one. All i could do was make a complaint. So i made a verbal and now written complaint, hoping something gets done.
The contact owns a 2006 grand cherokee. While driving at a speed of 40 mph, the vehicle seemed as if it would shift gears on its owns. The contact noticed the problem eight times. The vehicle was taken to both a local dealership and a local repair shop to find the cause for failure. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 79,000.

I was recently driving on residential road going about 35mph under normal conditions and the automatic jeep grand cherokee laredo 2006 stalls.the check engine light appears.pressing on the gas pedal will rev the engine but it is like the jeep is in neutral.everything else seems to work accept the car is not in any gear.the dashboard indicates the car is in drive.i have to coast off to the side of the road.i turn the ignition off before restarting, then the car seems to run fine for awhile.this has happened 3 times over the last month.the first time i took the car into a local jeep dealer where they could only fine old codes in the jeep computer system noting inactive transmission problems which they since cleared and were unable to do much else.an error code for the o2 sensor was also found and the o2 sensor was replaced.i was told to try it out and let them know if it happens again.that was about 10 days ago.since then i have had two incidents that have occurred over this weekend, i have yet to contact the dealer which i plan to do this week.
I purchased a grand cherokee laredo 2006 invoice no. 392118) on march 26, 2007 in tamiami chrysler-jeep, 8250 sw 8 street, miami fl 33144. A few days after its purchase i noticeda little jump when i accelerated, then i carried the car to tamiami chrysler service on april 2, 2007. They informed me that it has transmission problem so my car must remain there for a transmission replacement. Of course i am using a rent car but i want my car back. It is too much time (25 days) and their answer: transmission is not available.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. 2 months ago while driving the vehicle without warning the vehicle looses power. It seems to drop out of gear. The vehicle cannot accelerate and you have to pull over and hope it will kick back in gear. I spoke with another 2006 jeep grand cherokee owner and the exact same thing happens to him and also one of his friends. I went to edmunds.com and it seems this is a wide spread problem. We contacted jeep and they said sorry it is out of warranty. This is not an isolated safety problem.i hope you can protect the american citizen from the sale and future use of faulty automobiles. These vehicle problems should be address before people die. Thank you.
When slowing down to turn at intersection ,and reapplyinggas engine rpm goes up but car doesn't move ,then all of a sudden it lunges forward. This has also happened at complete stop. Then tries to go but then jumps forward. Which at times it throws you back in your seat.
At a stop sign, short of the cross walk, with foot on brake pedal car in drive waiting for traffic to clear so i can turn right on to the primary street.remove foot from brake and 2006 jeep cherokee begins to move backwards.the is no incline or decline at this stop sign to allow for gravity to move car.had to re-apply brake, put car into park.shut off and restarted before proceeding.this same difficulty has now happened on at least 6 different occasions and dealer reports no mechanical issue evident to cause auto to move on its own in reverse.yesterday, in the omaha world herald paper a story appeared describing an accident with a 2005 jeep cherokee.
When driving my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo the lights around the pnd21 will circle all of the gears and either go into neutral or 1st gear on its own while you are driving it, it happens at least 2-3 timesa week. It is very dangerous when you are driving down the road - have taken to dealer said it needselectronic shift module at a cost of $750. Called customer service jeep they said they couldn't help with the cost of repair. I have looked into this problem and it seems that there a lot of these same 2006 jeeps with the same problem. They said my jeep has to many miles 85,000 - but it seems like it happens to call jeeps no mater what the mileage - i think this is a defective part and they should make it right - now matter how many miles. This is a very dangerous problem. I have almost been in 3 accidents due to this problem.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.while coming to a stop, the vehicle hesitated as if it would shut off.when the contact depressed the brake pedal, the gears shifted and the engine or transmission jumped.the failure occurred every time the vehicle was driven.the vehicle is currently being repaired by an authorized dealer.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 5,000 and current mileage was 23,000.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle made a banging noise as the gears shifted.the dealership has inspected the vehicle twice, but has not been able to determine the cause of the problem.when the vehicle was stopped, it would idle very low and eventually cut off. Updated 05/30/06.
My 2005 jeep grand cherokee has a serious safety hazard. When the vehicle is started and placed into reverse, on 2 separate occasions, the vehicle jumped approx. 15 feet backwards. Also, one time while the vehicle was in drive, sitting in traffic, the engine revved on it's own and it jumped forward approx 15 feet. In all three incidences, the brakes where depressed and where not able to hold the vehicle back. The brakes had to be released and then re-applied to get it to stop.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle shifted into neutral independently then the check engine light illuminated.the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 93,000...updated 07-17-13
Check engine light would come on (& go off) repeatedly.additionally, transmission would 'jerk' on deceleration just before vehicle stopped (light drivetrain had to catch up with the engine).took vehicle to dealer, who stated there was nothing wrong.returned several days later with same engine light illuminated.dealer kept vehicle for over a week; finally determined a daughter-board on the transmission control module had failed and replaced ($600).two days later, check engine light came on again.returned to the dealer, who (after 3 days) determined that the entire transmission control module had failed ($1000 to replace).replaced entire tcm (which other dealers told me seldom if ever fails).3 months later, problem returned.
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).
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.while driving 50 mph and depressing the brake pedal to stop, the vehicle would abnormally lunge forward.in addition, while driving highway speeds, the vehicle would sporadically fail.the contact took the vehicle to a dealer and they repaired the tcm.several weeks later, the failure recurred without any warning.she called the manufacturer and was referred back to the dealer.the dealer stated that if the diagnostic machine did not provide any codes, they could not successfully remedy the failure.the failure mileage was 17,000 and current mileage was 25,000.
Transmission upshifts and down shifts while you are driving without warning.

Whining noise coming from back of 2006 jeep grand cherokee; removed drive shaft between transfer case and rear diff-found u joints on each end slightly tight; had new u joints installed (had replaced by a custom shop as jeep driveshafts and u joints are one component and cost in the $1200 range to replace)-my u joints are now serviceable and can be changed at any shop; problem still existed after repair, removed transfer case-no problems there; opened up rear diff and found pinion bearing pre-tension had been overtightened (my mechanic says this was done at the factory as this case has never been opened up prior to this)-gears were still okay but bearings showed signs of stress so changed out all bearings in diff and re-set pinion tension; problem now solved-my out of pocket cost - $1300.this vehicle has 53000 miles on it.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.the contact suspects failure in her vehicle's universal joints.when she drives the vehicle, it makes a loud noise and shakes.when she shifts from reverse to drive, the noise stops.the mechanic confirmed that the failure was the universal joints.the part for the repair is unavailable because it is a newer model vehicle and the driveshaft would have to be replaced.the current mileage is 42,963 and failure mileage was 22,500.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle independently shifted into the neutral position. In addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transfer case was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 13v175000 (electrical system, power train); however, the vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

The middle seat belt in the back seat is tightened to the point of not being usable.the plastic lock that prevents the seat belt from retracting too far broke off while using the 40/60 split feature.upon online research, this is a known common problem with several model year chrysler vehicles.this is also the only seat belt compliant for child car seats so to have it not working is a safety concern.
In the last month or so, i've noticed that the seatbelt won't stay completely latched with the buckle in the driver and passenger seats. This causes the seatbelt light to come in at random times. In order to buckle the seat belt, you also need to depress the red buckle button slightly and insert the latch plate.
Must press red button to get driver and passenger seat belt to latch. Seat belt chime stays on.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the air bag sensor illuminated intermittently and the front passenger side seat belt latch was fractured. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system); however, the parts needed were not available to perform the repair. The vehicle would need further inspection to determine the cause of the air bag failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that rear center seat belt failed. The dealer installed a new unit to replace the seat belt, but the replacement also failed. The vehicle was not further repaired. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileages were 59,000.
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.
Both front seat belts are jammed and will not lock without tapping down out button and forcing down belt into holder arm.after seat belt in snapped into place the air bag light remain on for duration of drive.
Seat belts will not latch unless release is depressed prior to inserting latch. The chime and light go off continuously as you drive because it is not registering that the seat belt is buckled.
Tamara recall-drivers side and passenger side seat belts stooped latching.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the passenger side seat belt warning light remained illuminated while the passenger seat was occupied and the seat belt secured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat belt was causing the air bag to become disengaged and that the computer needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but he failure recurred. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
During rain storms both driver and passenger sides are flooded with water.this has ruined carpet in vehicleand will probably rust the bottom of the car.- vehicle stationery in driveway of home.the safety belts both driver and passenger sides are not working - do notsecure unless you push down hard to engage the belt into lock mode.i do notfeel safe when i have to manually engage the belt hook into the lock.i had an accident and crashed into a fence, the airbag did not deploy.vehicle in motion at time.when i start the engine , vehicle still in park mode, it accelerates in highmode without stepping on gas pedal.on a city street.
Passenger seatbelt. Have to press red button to engage seatbelt. Even when locked, the seatbelt alert chimes and the indicator light remains red.
Passenger seat & airbag deployment sensors - passenger airbag light came on, took vehicle to dealer for inspection &dealer stated that seatbelt 'tensioner' sensor tied to airbag deployment velocity was malfunctioning ($278.00 plus $115.00 laborto replace). . dealer won't replace (out of warranty), neither will jeep.
The seat belt first started not buckling unless i pushed down the red button.then it begin to chime when someone is sitting in the seat with the seat belt buckled.the buckle must be held a certain way for it not to chime while in motion.this is a safety hazard.the dealer is charging approximately $900-$975 to replace both seat belts.thisshould become a recall for the safety issue plus lots of people are having this same problem.
I too have had the issue with the seat beltsnot locking unless pushing down redrelease .before that happened though,the latch lost contact and bell chimed till ignition was turned off as the seat registers when body is in seat.i called chrysler and they acted stupidbut did give me maneuverto deactivate chime which can be found on youtube also.my other issue happened within the first 500 miles of being new.exhaust manifold on left side failed and they said it was the gasket and fixed.then 2 years later the other side did same thing and they fixed.then after warranty was over the left side went again.this time they said it was cracked stud and they wanted 1200 to drill it out and replace.i called chrysler out on this and after back and forth they finally took care of it.well that same side has noise againhuh
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The seat belt warning indicator continuously illuminated on multiple occasions. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
Both front seat belts will not lock unless you push the button to lock it in.the passenger seat belt lock in indicates it is not lock and the bell dings until use reach a certain speed.the light indicator also is on.no recall has been issued and you cant unplug it because it turns the passenger air bag off.
Seat belt latch on passenger front will not latch without pushing the red button in and will not turn off red indicator light on dash.all the interior door latch handles are breaking or are already broken making it nearly impossible to open door from inside. Both would be dangerous in an accident situation.
I bought this jeep in march on 2012 , then few months after buying it the drivers seat belt stopped latching unless i depressed it to make it latch then a month or so later the passengers seat belt started doing the same thing. But since then the seat belt chime started going off and the seat belt light on the dash started staying on too. At first you could unbuckle the passengers seat belt and rebuckle and it would stop but now if someone is in the passengers seat itdoesn't stop. Now it doesn't matter whether someone is in the passengers seat or not, it will come on with just the driver in the seat and i always buckle up. The chime will keep going off for a long time but it will eventually stop for awhile but the seat belt light will stay on but if i stop at a light and start going again it will start chiming again. It is very annoying and the latches is aggravating to have to depress them to latch them. There should be a recall on these 2006 jeep grand cherokees ,. I've never had a problem with one until now and it doesn't have this problem till your out of warranty, then it has to come out of our pocket. Mine is still not fixed... Not happy this is my 3rd jeep grand cherokee to own have been wanting to get a 4th one but it may depend on how this is handled. It seems like it would be a recall on this since i'm not the only one having this problem.
The inside of the seat belt buckle is broken and will not register the alarm to show its buckled, therefore the chime goes off.
Both driver and passenger seat belts will not latch unless i press the 'release' button and push the buckle into the latch. The seat belt warning light will also not turn off.
Less then 30 days ago i purchased a used 2006 jeep cherokee laredo 4x2.the dealer said the airbag sensor just needed replaced no big deal.now i am experiencing the same thing as alot of older people.the driver's side seat belt started not latching unless i press down on the red button.so then the red seat belt indicator light won't go off and the audible chimes continuously and will not shut off while driving no matter what i do.moving the seat belt around to try and get the chime to stop as well as the audible chiming while driving makes it very annoying and distracting from the road.i need answers on why this should be at my cost when between the airbag and seat belt sensors are truly safety issue. Their is no warranty at 154457 miles.please advise on the airbag recall etc...the airbag light was on when purchased 7/18/17.the seat belt chiming and light started staying on 8/10/17.
This vehicle was purchased from a previous private owner on or about 19 november 2012. The two forward seat belt buckles,at time the of purchase were already experiencing the problem. Neither one of the buckles would allow you to freely snap in or latch theother end of the belt. The only way one could get the belts latched was to press in the "red release button" on the buckle - it would then lock in place as normal. To unlatch the belt, one would press the "red release button as normal and they would release.however, once it was locked into place,the seat belt light on the dash panel would not go out. It remained on and the chimes would continue to sound as if the belts had not been mated. Eventually, the chimes would shutdown, but the light would remain on. The other strange thing is that the chimes would return when one stopped at a traffic light and began to accelerate. The chimes would remain on for an extended length of time before they shutoff. I took it to a dealer and was advised that i needed to replace the locking buckle assembly on both the driver's side and passenger side to correct the problem. I did order the parts from the dealer and had a mechanic replace the assemblies. There has been no issue with the belts since the replacement. According to the dealer and the information i have accessed on the internet, there has been no recall regarding this problem. The chrysler mopar part number for the driver's side is 1cb121d5ab and is called, "assembly, pretensioner with microswitch".
2006 "laredo 4wd" series just like all 2005-2010 regular jeep cherokee series has 1000's of people complaining on major safety issues with inner section of all 4 doors + how cheap this terrible plastic components on all (4) door handles and requires complete inner door panels @ $500 each (not including labor). Cheap plastic door panel material is honestly able to be snapped with fingers.

Seat belts will not latch unless release is depressed prior to inserting latch.the chime and light go off continuously as you drive because it is not registering that the seat belt is buckled.
Air bag warning light came on and wouldn't go off.july 20, 2015 took to dealer who scanned system and said driver seat belt buckle had malfunctioned and wanted $384 to replace it
Seat belt don't retract,heater only runs on high,headlights are not clear and dim.
After the dealer repaired recall p41/nhtsa 14v-438:loss engine power,power brake assist seat belt and air condition failure.the problem always in motion.
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.
Rear middle seat belt continually retracts too far and is inoperable - the system is interlocked with the airbag system making it difficult to repair safely.seat is not usable and is unsafe.this also the only seat belt that can be used for child-safety seats.
Both front seatbelts stopping allowing the buckle to be latched with inserting the latch unless i depress the release button.after a few months the passenger seat belt light began illuminating and chiming but the buckle was latched.if i moved the latch within the buckle at a certain angle it would stop but i'd have to hold it there causing a safety issue while driving or have the passenger do this task. When i am stopped the chiming stops but the light stay on.the chiming restarts once the vehicle is in motion.i looked up seatbelt replacements and the dealer charges about $200 each for just the buckles.i was amazed that this is not a recall after researching and seeing hundreds of posts just like this one.how can this be petitioned for a recall?does someone really need to be killed before we use some common sense here?please help.most people don't have $500 plus to spend on something that is clearly a manufacturer flaw.common jeep/chrysler time to step up and do the right thing!! possibly first and last jeep i buy if no solution...
2006 jeep grand cherokee - seat & airbag deployment sensors - check engine light came on, and took vehicle to dealer for inspection.dealer stated that seat sensor tied to airbag deployment velocity was malfunctioning ($300 to replace).dealer re-checked next day and found all 4 sensors malfunctioning (when 150# man sits in seat, sensors read 250# man). Now all 4 sensors need to be replaced ($1000) and fasten seatbelt light/bell sound endlessly.dealer won't replace (out of warranty), neither will jeep.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.while idling at a red light, the vehicle was rear ended.as a result, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle.the air bags failed to deploy.the contact sustained eight stitches to her lip.one tooth was knocked out and five others were damaged.she also has back and neck injuries and is currently under the care of a dentist and doctor.the vehicle was destroyed.the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 06v295000 (air bags:frontal:driver side inflator module).a police report was filed and the contact has pictures.the current and failure mileages were 36,000. Updated 04-09-08 the consumer stated her seat blet did not restrain her.
I and one passenger were involved in a traffic accident. I was driving a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.i was stopped and was hit from behind and then was pushed into the car in front of me.my passenger immediately complained of her left calf hurting her.we looked to see what could have caused this pain--it was the adjustment bar located under the seat.the adjustment bar is large and sticks out from under the seat.i felt that it should not be sticking out so much.i contacted the car company (daimler-chyrsler).they had someone inspect the vehicle.they sent me a letter back stating that i did not have a problem with my air bag and sent a brochure on air bags.i never complained about the air bag. They mentioned in one sentence at the end that the adjuster bar was not damaged and operated properly. My concern is that i purchased an suv to feel safe and the adjuster bar caused damage???the manufacturer failed in understanding the problem when i voiced my complaint and failed in providing a safe vehicle.the adjuster bar caused a huge bruise that was visible for 2 weeks.and still 2 and half months later there is still pain.the company should not be so quick to dismiss complaints and should actually read the complaint and understand it.the design of the adjuster bar needs to be examined as to not cause injury to others in the future.
Recently bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. The driver seat bounces. The dealership won't fix it. It is the cloth bucket seat with power adjustment. The front adjusting gear of the seat has stripped and a spring now bounces the seat.

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 intoneutral 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 still not fixing the issue or getting any help from the people who built the issue. Everywhere i look and everyone i contact say these issues could be a number of things but yet chrysler has failed to have a system that spits out codes directly pointing out the issue in turn creating a greater safety issue on the roads. Who knows, maybe the next jeep that dies will take out someoneyou love.
For a few months now & without warning: the dashboard lights, tachometers, heater, and headlights flicker on/off, then go completely off. Then if applying the brakes, there is a ferocious grinding noise and loss of steering. Engine seems to slow down or not want to shift to next gear while driving. All this happens when there is flickering. Seems to happen at random but getting worse. Check engine light stays on for a day then disappears. I have video recording of these incidents. Vehicle has been checked but "nothing reports" so i am told it cannot be repaired.
When i'm driving while in motion in a straight line all of a sudden my dash lights flicker and my ac stutters on and off and then all power stops and my brakes more or less lock up but not all the way but the engine still runs .... I'm not sure if the windows stop working or not but its been happening a few times and it seems like its going to need a tow truck but when i pull over off the highway and turn it off and restart it resets its self my jeep only has 78,000 miles on it because it was sitting in storage for 6 years while i was out of the states so it did not get driven and the dealership took it and changed all belts fluids and gave it a checkup before i drove it again
Starting in feb. 2012 the engine would quit running while driving. When the engine would quit we loose steering and braking. The vehiclestarts right back up and is drivable. We would experience this problem once every 2-3 months. The frequency in which this is happening has increased with the latest incident occurring 3-18-15 while exiting the interstate and nearly avoiding a crash off the roadway. We received a recall notice from jeep (p41) but everytime we call they tell us the parts are not available. I have tried several times to contact jeep but am left on hold for over 40 minutes. Can you please help us with this problem.
I was driving my 2006 jeep grand cherokee approximately 30 mph and applied the brake pedal. Without warning the brakes hesitated when depressed, the pedal went mushy, i had no braking control and the abs started cycling like i was on a patch of ice.this lasted for approximately 10-15 seconds. The esp, abs, check engine, and traction control indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.after the dash lights illuminated the brakes worked but abs and traction control did not.i periodically have instances where the brakes cycle on various wheels, i assume this is the abs cycling the brakes.after a period of time ranging from hours to a couple days, the affected instrument panel warning lights go out and the whole process starts over again within a few seconds to minutes. The first time the car was taken to the dealer they said it threw off to many error codes to troubleshoot.the dealer cleared the codes and asked me to return when it happened again.i just returned the car the second time.the car is unsafe to drive in this condition.
My 2006 jeep grand cherokee lardeo has all the same issues as listed by every other jeep owner.the engine randomly shuts off while driving down the road,the dash board and headlights flicker on and off constantly.sometimes we start sometimes we dont. When pulling out into traffic , maybe it will go, maybe it wont. I have lost my brakes on several occasions as well.now the jeep sits in my driveway as it wont start at all, and of coarse nobody can tell me what is wrong with it as usual !nothing like paying for a dead horse ! i have contacted the chrysler corporation only to be told these are not "safety" issues.good lord what does it take to get a decent vehicle that is safe and reliable ?i guess that would be not buying anything chrysler, dodge, jeep in the future is the route i will take ! i only hope when one of these ticking bombs fail, my family and friends arent on the road that day !
My ignition switched off disabling mostly everything on the vehicle. This was all while doing 75 mph on the interstate. I love jeep but they to get this fixed.
After the dealer repaired recall p41/nhtsa 14v-438:loss engine power,power brake assist seat belt and air condition failure.the problem always in motion.
While driving jeep lost all power this has happened 4 times i took it back to dealer but they didn't find any thing this last time it was in a rear end accident so chrysler took it back to investigate the problem the dealer has had for a total of over 9 weeks and still don't have a answer for it i don't know what to do know can you help.

The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure mileage was unknown.
My pregnant wife has had this issue before with the car and we took it to the dealership without anyone being able to fix it. While driving between 15-60 mph the car completely shuts down.no power steering, brakes, or electrical.you have to throw it in neutral and start it back up.this has to be an electrical issue as other quirky things have been happening as well such as the headlights will flicker on and off and the volume and stations selectors on the steerwheel often do not work properly.this is an issue that jeep needs to identify and fix.very scary to be going 50-60 mph and lose control of your car going down the highway.over the past two days this has happened three times.i have done research online as well and there are plenty of other jeep owners that have this same issue.jeep needs to have a recall for this issue.i am shocked that this has not happened yet.
I was driving on a busy road at night approaching a 4 way traffic light intersection.i was going approximately 35-40 mph and the road conditions were dry.suddenly the electric, lights, gauges, steering and braking system in my jeep began flickering and spasming like my jeeps entire electric system was having seizures and was switching power on and off. To the cars ahead of me it looked like i was flashing my lights and the cars behind me as if i was turning my lights on and off rapidly.i pulled off the road intoa parking lot and my jeep continued to spasm and flicker on and off.i turned my vehicle off and let it sit in hopes that this issue was a one time electrical glitch and also because i couldn't safely drive it in this condition.i eventually started my vehicle again and began to drive thinking it was alright.within minutes it began doing the same thing again.my vehicle has continued to randomly exhibit this behavior along with additionally all the gauge lights and sounds blinking and chiming for several minutes at a time.i never know when it is going to happen but when it does it is extremely dangerous and scary to be in the vehicle.i only have my ignition key on the key ring but that doesn't seem to make any difference.i have noticed that my ignition switch is extremely sensitive even when initially starting the vehicle.
While driving under completely normal conditions, several severe problems occurred simultaneously; interior dash lights started flashing on and off, vehicle started sputtering and became unresponsive when trying to accelerate, grinding sound from left front wheel accompanied the other problems further adding to the vehicle suddenly slowing down while in motion. All warning lights were lit up when flashing stopped, but then a couple of minutes later while i was trying to limp into a parking lot to get the car off the road the dash lights started wildly flashing on and off again and the car continued to be virtually unresponsive when stepping on the gas. After shutting the car off and restarting it, the esp/bas lights remained on for a couple of days, but eventually went out, but the check engine light remained on. The problem happened again on 3/29/2013 while i was driving under normal conditions.it was sudden, unexpected and scary. With the right set of circumstances, it could be devastating and extremely dangerous. Once i started doing a bit of online research, i found many jeep forums packed full of owners with the identical model and year of my grand cherokee that are having the same grave issues. It is clearly very widespread for this particular vehicle, and then i found the arfc page and i was astounded at the numbers of owners of my year and model who have also had hair raising incidents who have described the exact set of problems that i have had.chrysler cannot ignore the massive numbers of people who are reporting the same defect issues. It is well beyond the realms of coincidence, and it is too dangerous to ignore. There needs to be a national factory recall asap before somebody gets killed.
I bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited edition. I bought 4 new tires the day of the purchase. The tpms-tire pressure monitoring system began failing a short time thereafter. The light in the dashboard flashed telling me my tire pressure was low on various tires. My wife was the sole driver of the jeep and she was constantly calling telling me a tire was flat. She worked evening hours. I took the jeep into les schwab for repair. They advised me the price for the sensors was more than the price of the vehicle. I was constantly putting air in the tires andhad to reset the vehicle service mileage.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the electronic stability program/brake assist system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who reset the brake pressure sensor but to no avail. The contact stated that after retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, it began jerking and skidding when the contact applied the brakes. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
Incident happened multiple times. Engine, shut down briefly. When i stepped on brake it vibrated severely. The instrument panel lit up, was unable to steer. Received notice from nhtsa tried to have fixed several timesand part is still unavailable. It is happening more often and i am afraid to drive it. Very disappointed. I believe jeep should furnish me with a safe vehicle.

While driving my vehicle, the a/c, dash, and power steering shut down. Additionally, this casuea the brakes to lock up. This is a direct issue with the ignition. When the key is in the "on" position, the vehicle acts as if it were in the "off" position. This issue has put me in multiple situations where i feared an accident was imminent. I called my local jeep dealership which informed me that the replacement part was not yet available. I was encouraged to call chrysler's main office to get an update. They advised me that it was not yet available and that their recommendation was to not drive my vehicle until the recall was available. This vehicle is my only means of transportation, so that is not an option for me. The recall for this part was issued 9/3/14, it is now 6/9/15 and the recalled part still cannot be replaced.
Abs eas and traction controll warning lights on again with service 4wd system message after completing 1st recall, vehicle was just started and put in to drive acceleration to 12 mph causes bad grinding noise and loss of power just about enough to get you in to the middle of an intersection very dangerous then it seems to catch and regains power the warning lights stay on and you can drive it all day with no issues but as soon as you turn it off and back on it will do it again.
At approx. 110k miles the esb, trac and bas indication lights came on and would not turn off. The dealership checked and said that the brake pressure sensor and steering angel sensors had to be replaced.
Fuses keep coming lose and causing abs to go off when you start off to drive and other error msgs to light up. Push back down and its good for a while.

Takata recall: i was in an accident with my 2006 grand cherokee. The accident was due to the ignition switch and the vehicle powering down while in drive, or in use. Injuries were suffered due to the airbag's none deployment. After taking the vehicle to the dealer and attempting to have two recalls replaced, i was told there presently was no available fix, or replacement for recall p41. The vehicle was serviced in 2015 at fitzpatrick's chrysler jeep (430 e main street, ansonia, ct 06401 (203) 734-3318) for recalls p41(ignition switch) & n23(powertrain transfer case electrical system). In january of 2012 with 37k on the vehicle there was the first of two accidents that relate to recall p41. This accident was due to unresponsive braking and steering, which was caused by the ignition switch moving from the on position to the off position while the vehicle was in drive, or in use. This accident happened when attempting to stop the vehicle (rte. 80 east haven, ct) i noticed the vehicle was unresponsive. I used both feet and hands to apply the breaks, while simultaneously wrapping both hands around the lower half of the steering wheel and pulling upward with my biceps to apply additional downward momentum to the break pedal, but still i could not stop the vehicle. Injuries were sustained and out pocket costs for this accident total over $7000 dollars. The second accident happened in 2016. Not realizing the vehicle was off while attempting to bring the vehicle to a full stop on the highway (rte.15 no haven, ct.), i had a collision. The force of the impact slammed my face into the steering wheel. I was dazed and confused, wondering, why hadn't the airbags deployed. This is the second incident i've had with this vehicle that was directly related to the ignition switch. And, in both accidents airbags were never deployed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Mycar ignition inadvertently turned off and disabling power steering, brake etc.this resulted in the driver not being able to control the keep.thejeep rolled down the hill and hit the car behind and damaging both the cars and injuringone of thepassengers in thecar behind.
The dash lights started flickering, then the brakes locked up and the jeep just lost power and turned off. This was the first time that the jeep's brakes locked up and lost power and this is enough to cause alarm and resulted with this complaint. I will not wait for a second time that the vehicle's brakes lock up and turns itself off at a more dangerous highway situation on a busy traffic and certainly not putting my family at this type of risk which is obviously a manufacturer's defect. [xxx], a customer service representative from jeep that i have spoken to advised that chrysler could possibly issue a recall if enough number of complaints were received from nhtsa.am i really supposed to wait until my family gets injured before something gets done with this known issue?the dash lights/gauges issue has been ongoing and jeep had been contacted a few years back to no avail. I also advised [xxx] (jeep rep) about all four handles breaking at the same time.i had to open the door from the outside to let my daughter and her friend get out of the backseat. These handles should not break at all due to it's normal use and purpose. I request your department to please investigate this obvious safety issue, and avoid any injuries that this defect could cause.thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2006 jeep grand cherokee last 8 of vin 6c[xxx] vehicle running and driving - all brake warning lights came on and cruise quit working.brakes seemed to be working.mechanic reset to turn warning lights off.a code was not set.approximately 2 weeks later it reoccurred. Searched for recall and found recall this year model but jeep dealer said there was no recall on this model mfg date 09/05 ....parked vehicle for fear of accident.
Received the recall notice and contacted porterville chrysler.despite the recall notice about increased risk of occupant injury as well as the potential to cause a collision without warning, they said they had no parts to replace the ones causing the issue, and they had no idea when they would.they claim to have had parts on order for over a year but none have been received and that they could not help me out by complying with the recall notice.
While driving in normal dry conditions this past evening unexpectedly all my interior gauges and dash electronics started flickering on and off to include the radio, hazard lights and everything inside.at the same time i realized i was also loosing my exterior headlights and also brake control because my car was essentially running but with no electronics.it started making a weird grinding pulsating noise that would accompany the flickering lights.this forced me to exit the road at a gas station.it then stopped and i began driving again only to have it resume shortly.thankfully i was close to my destination and was able to shut the vehicle off for the night. This has happened occasionally in the past couple months during the day but this is my first night experience. I thought it was just a glitch but it is definitely getting worse and has become regular.the next morning i was able start and drive my vehicle to work and it repeated this behavior a couple more times.at days end i went to leave and now my jeep won't start and hasn't for two days.all the electronics come on but when i turn the key it just clicks.i also had this problem in the past but when my mechanic looked at it he was unable to duplicate the problem.

Brakes "exploded". No prior warning, squeal, nothing. Have had them checked at dealership only a few months ago. Same size tires. Going down city street, loud popping sound, then short grinding sound. Sounded like back right rear tire. Had car towed to mechanic who stated that spring had broken, caught brake cable, and everything came off in pieces "shards of metal"
I have a recall that says that the ignition switch can change position while i am driving causing the car to cut off while driving. This can cause a loss in engine power, powere steering, braking assistance and possible failure of air bags causing an accident.the incident that i describe above occurred on interstate 85.i beleive that was what happened as i was able to coast off the raod to an exit.sat for a while trying to fiqure out what was wrong finally after a while the car started back up and i got to my destination.after reading the article and looking up my vin number which shows this recall i beleive that is what happended. This recall has been pending for more than a year and chrysler still says they don't hav the parts to fix it.the chrysler recall # is 14v-438.
Traction control kicks on for 5-30 seconds at various speeds and road conditions. It has come on going 80mph, come on from a stop, going 30 mph on a city street. Not sure if that is why brakes exploded and broke apart. All tires same size.
I have a jeep grand cherokee(2006). Over the past 5 years, it has intermittently had problems. Sometimes while driving and after startup. These problems have always beenloss of gauges, flashing lights in dash, what appears to be the traction control or brakes kicking in and the loss of power steering? when this first started happening i thought maybe the computer had been vibratedor jostled and had a glitch. Over time it would go away and 6 months or so later happen again! i have done everything in my power to stop this from happening, ie changing parts and trouble shooting the problems to no avail. I thought i had this narrowed down to a rusted connection from a ground wire connected to the block.....wrong again! this morning i had my 4 year old son in the jeep and was taking a left at a busy intersection. I clearly had enough time to make the turn, but as i was turning it sounded like my anti lock brakes were kicking inmid turn with a car coming right at us! i made the turn pulled over on the side of the road. All my gauges were dead, check engine light on and only the gear selector was visible. I have read on many jeep related forums, that this is not only happening to my jeep but many others! while reading i have noticed one thing. In many cases these problems were solved by replacing the ignition switch! after reading this i further researched the problem against recalls. I found that, according to the wall street journal, ny times, usa today and forbes, chrysler is allegedly recalling these vehicles with faulty ignition switches. So i called my local dealer. They looked my jeep up in their database and told me they'rewere no recalls on my vehicle and that they haven't recalled any vehicles for faulty ignition switches. I would appreciate it if the nhtsa could help with some of these problems and answer some of these question i and many others have.
This is not the first time this has happened since i purchased the jeep in 2009 but it was the most significant one.all lights went off inside & out.there was some problem with the steering & the braking also.the motor did not die nor did the a/c or radio go off.when this happens all the warning lights flash a few times & for a few seconds i loose all the lights & experience the braking & steering problems.i did receive the recall notice for the ignition switch in september, 2014 stating that they were trying to get the parts for repair but i have not heard anything else from chrysler.this is the only vehicle that i have and at this point i am afraid to drive any distance.
My brakes lock on me when driving or stopping my engine shakes and raddled when stopped at a light or parked
If the keys in the ignition shake just slightly, all lights on dash flicker on/off, engine cuts out and comes back on.i've had a problem with this since i bought the vehicle in 12/08 and still happens. I can only have 1 car key in ignition so nothing happens but still does every so often.

Going 40 mph the all lights on dashboard came on, the radio shut off, the abs brakes made a noise then everything on dashboard went out.check engine light came on & the gas gage didn't work you couldn't tell how fast you were going ,the air conditioner quit &engine stopped, the vehicle was hard to steer & the brakes were manual & then engine startedagain.i turned the car off & turned it back on & the check engine light is on & the dashboard seems to work again.this has happened 2 times within 3 days.i am renting a vehicle cause i'm too afraid to drive the vehicle.there is a recall on this vehicle for the ignition switch with all the same vehicle loss of engine power, power steering & braking assist but it doesn't include the dashboard lights coming on & the dealers say it is not the same thing.the ignition switch recall came out in july 2014 & to date they have not provided any dealerships with the replacement parts.how can jeep say it is not the same problem if they won't replace the recalled ignition switch to find out?
Like others vehicle has stalled while at low speeds. At random times, took to my mechanic and he never could duplicate the problem. Until, i took it there for an electrical problem and to check out the steering. While he was test driving the car,it stalled on him and still could never find the problem, my lights flicker on the inside, dash over head light all inside lights, at night when i have my lights on, till i turn them very low and still flickers but can't notice it as much, inside lights don't turn on at all when i try to switch them on as well. The air bag light has stayed and been on for a while, my mechanic ran a test on that as air bag is fine but light stays on. I know there where recalls so i called chrysler and they said my car does not qualify under any of the recalls. Now my abs and esp/bas, traction control light are on. At first they came on while i was driving when went to slow down my breaks rattled, the lights came on then went off. Now they have been on and won't turn off. And my cruise control stopped working as well same time. There seems to be nothing that comes up while running test and stuff. My car has 115756 miles on it and these problems keep happening. Also when i start it the car ideals rough and when i'm stopped at a light tried and replaced parts and still does it. I love my jeep and would like to have these problems found out and fix i'm almost done paying it off and want to keep it but it scares me that it's could stall any moment randomly.
The contact owned a 2006 jeep cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the brake pedal failed to respond when depressed causing the contact to veer off the road and crash into a light pole. The vehicle was towed and deemed destroyed. There were no injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.updated 04/20/16*lj
The first incident happened just weeks after i purchased my grand cherokee. I was on a two lane highway going 75 mph in the left lane.the highway did not have a shoulder to pull over on. There was a tractor trailer in front of me, behind me and to my right. My car suddenly started decreasing in speed rapidly, my steering wheel locked up and it was as if my car had been turned off. I had no where to go as it was sandwiched in between semis all going at a high rate of speed. I turned on my hazards until i was completely stopped in the middle of the highway. I put my car in park, put the key into the off position and restarted it.i drove straight to the tulsa,ok jeep dealership. To say i was shaken up is an understatement. They ran tests on it. Came back to me and told me the car checked out perfectly fine and either my knee hit the ignition or my keys were too heavy. My keys only had my car key, house key and my key fob on it and i knew my knee had not hit the ignition. I was scared to drive my car from then on. The incidents continued to happen over and core again.sometimes at a high rate of speed, but also lots of times at a slow rate of speed under 25mph or while going from a stop to start (like at a stop light or while trying to turn). I continued to take my car in to the jeep dealership the entire time it was under warranty. I received the exact same answer every single time. They treated me like i was making the incidents up. The incidents started happening more frequently and after my second child was born we were finally in a position to purchase another vehicle. My jeep has been sitting in my driveway for over a year.we are unable to sell it for anything close to what kbb says its worth. And we also feel like we can't sell it consciously knowing it could kill someone.these cars are a death trap and because of financial situations families are forced to keep.
While driving the ignition turns off, the interior instruments don't work, the brakes, make a noise, the steering get hard to turn. When i turn the key back to the right everything comes back on. Occurred at least 5 times over last few months. Have been reported to dealership twice, who says dodge is dragging their feet with recall ignition switches. Have complained to dodge who says i have to brig it to the dealership for diagnosis and i may have to pay for it. But i have a recall notice on the part.
I was driving my 2006 grand cherokeethe other night in the rain and i started going down a hill and i hit a little bump and my brakes like locked up in the front and i went to turn into a drive way after it did that and i had no power steering and my battery light came on and this has happened to me now twice in the last few weeks!
I was driving to work down an incline/hill on 9/2, there was traffic ahead, the engine shut off and the breaks locked.i pulled the e-break and swerved off the side of the road, luckily without any crash. I was able to restart the vehicle but had a tow truck tow it to my local mechanic who verified there was no problem with the breaks, and notified me of the recall p41 on the ignition switch which can cause the engine to shut off and power steering and breaks to lock while driving. The jeep dealership told me not only are the parts not available but they don't know when they will be available and they can't diagnose this as the problem without replicating the problem.this is a known issue so it is unclear to me why the issue would have to be replicated.i have a baby and do not want to drive this car, as recommended by jeep customer service and the dealership, and risk accident to myself or others until the part is in and fixed.i can't believe jeep would ask me to continue driving this vehicle not only knowing there is a risk but an actual problem.i think it's fair that jeep provide me with a safe alternative form of transportation in the meantime.
Driving on the highway and the entire dash board lit up, blank a few times, and then went dark. Nothing on the dash board was working (no mph, gas gauge, etc.). After a few minutes of blinking and going dark, everything begins to work again, but the check engine light comes on. This exact scenario has happened multiple times. Usually the light will stay on from anywhere between 1-5 days and then go away. I have been dealing with this issue for over a year. In once instance, i was driving around the city going 10-15 mph and this scenario happened and the brakes were not working properly and the car was very hard to turn. Everytime i have brought the car to the dealer they try to pull a code and nothing is available for them. At this point i am fed up so i am officially reporting the issue. It is completely unsafe to be driving when this happens, especially when you are on the highway. Let's hope something is officially done before anyone gets hurt.
I have did a tune up and cleaned the oil my check engine light is still on and check gas cap won't go away after numerous times of changing it my wheels and struts are damaged
Purchased 2006 jeep grand cherokee new. Within first 6 months have been taking it bake to the dealer for intermittent lack/stalling. This happens while driving at different speeds and mostly making slight turns or when i begin to turn as well as up and down hill. This has been going on for the last 2 yrs,but most recently has happened alot more offend. I have taken it to the dealer with no result each time. Within the last 2 weeks is has stalled at least 7 times. 9/27/08 i was injured from slamming the breaks and fighting the steering to avoid a head on collision at an intersection while starting to make a turn. I did take it to the dealer and again with no result. The day i dropped it off at the dealer it shut down in their lot. I was told that this would have been recorded in the codes,but they told me they found nothing. The next day it stalled while dropping my son off at school. He was with me when i was injured so i can prove it does happen. I did call the dealer back and that was 3 days ago. They will not return my phone call let alone honor my warranty. This car is not safe.
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.
Update:the braking system, primary and emergency, failed at approximately 6:30 am 5/13/2008. My wife was unable to bring the vehicle under control traveling down an unpaved hill and had a head-on collision with a boulder. We have called the attorney and we are awaiting a call bck at this time. Chrysler and scheid are going to wish they never heard of me now.they can shove their bs "repurchase" offers up their'!@#$%.

Took vehicle to dealership to have the brake rotors replaced. The vehicle has less than 16,000 miles and the rotors are already bad. The dealership wanted to charge for the repair, because the brakes are out of warranty. 12 months on brakes, we have had the vehicle for 15 months. Must replace rotors now at my own expense.
Need to replace brake rotors at less than 35,000 miles.multiple posting on internet site identifying having the same problem and that jeep is aware of but chooses only to make the customer replace at their own expense.
The brake pedal on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee is 3.25 inches higher than the accelerator pedal (almost 2 inches higher than my other chrysler vehicle).i have caught my foot under the brake pedal when trying to brake, especially at highway speeds when the accelerator is depressed.this has nearly caused several accidents.the brake pedal is also farther toward the center of the vehicle with a wider space between it and the accelerator further exaggerating this problem.chrysler will not recognize this as a flaw.
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.
Vehicle has stalled while in drive at various speeds, in reverse or idling at a stop.this issue has been ongoing for over 2 years - has been brought to the dealership; was never told there was a recall on the ignition switch until i brought recently to midas for the above issues.they advised the engine shuts off due to the ignition switch being faulty.there has also been occasions that the abs seems to engage while in drive, typically occurs when turning. Unknown if this is associated with the faulty ignition switch.was told by chrysler that the recalled part would be available as of september 11, 2015 - it is still not available.this vehicle is unsafe to drive.

While entering on ramp for highway jeep shuts off... No more control since no power. Hit the guard rail. This stalling happen on many occasions while driving or in park. With passengers in vehicle very scary. Have spent more than $4000 @ dealer @ & manufacturer involved. With no resolution...but the stress & the dissatisfaction in the american product i'd like to buy that can't be fixed. I'm convinced i'll probably never buy american again. Very disappointed on how jeep corporate handled the issue & left me with vehicle with these problems & told me case closed... Trade it in.
I was traveling to my daughters when the jeep suddenly veered to the left. Crossed center line, hit guard rail and rolled three times down the highway. Luckily no cars were coming. My front drivers side fire was wedged in the guard rail.i was upside down and managed to undo my seat belt and crawl out back broken window.the man behind me wrote a letter telling me how he was just following me and i just lost control, he's the one who called 911 and said he was checking for "survivors".this was a sunny june morning, nothing on the road. Its like the jeep had a mind of its own. After surgery on my shoulder and trying to get back to work, i was forced to go on disability. I wish i would have known about this recall years ago. My life has changed because of it. The jeep was a total loss of course.this accident happened about 10 miles west of iron river, mi on us-2. This whole thing has changed my life forever.
I was driving east on the pennsylvania turnpike from pittsburgh, pa to york, pa with my wife and 1 year old daughter on the friday of memorial day weekend. I was driving between 70-75 mph in the left hand lane when i noticed i had lost acceleration, power steering, and all of my interior lights had turned off. The entire vehicle had shut off. This easily could have caused a horrific accident as there was a ton of traffic behind me and on the road. Fortunately, i was going down a hill and i was able to maintain speed for enough time to safelydrift my car into the right lane and eventually over to the side of the road. Once pulled over, i had difficulty shifting my vehicle into park and turning off the ignition. After a few minutes of attempting to shut it off, i was able to get the key out of the ignition. I waited about 5 or so minutes and was able to start the vehicle without a problem. I stayed in the right hand lane the rest of the trip and eventually made it to my destination safely. When i got home, i took the vehicle to three rivers chrysler jeep and dodge in pittsburgh, pa. .i was told i needed to replace the ignition switch and the "wire control module". With all of the recalls in the news regarding chrysler and gm ignition switches, i would not be surprised if this was a defect in jeep as well. The experience i had was very frightening and i hope others do not have the same problems.
I was driving on the highway when my car engine suddenly stopped and all the sensorlights came on the dash boardi attempted to move to the side of the highway the steering wheel would not move - suddenly the engine started again.
I initially purchased this jeep at 45,000 miles. It now has 98,000 miles. This issue has now happened at least 5 times in this time span. The first few times i thought it may be just a coincidence but now it is starting to scare me that there could be an issue. Because it can not be replicated at the mechanic,s no one can pinpoint what the problem could be. The jeep will just die spontaneously. There is no warning that it is coming. Luckily i have always been going slow through a parking lot with no other cars in my way. I am able to control the car to a stop and then restart it. This past week i became more nervous however as it happened while i was making a left turn from a major street on to a residential street. I was able to control the car to the side of the residential road while turning however, if there had been cars on the street i was making the left too or i had not given more time for the cars coming at me during the turn this could have equaled a major accident. I am seeing through my research that i am not the only one experiencing this.
While at highway speed, on the highway, vehicle stalled, lost power steering, acceleration ability, braking and lights.had to coast to the side of the road while narrowly avoiding other motorists at highway speed.this has occurred on several different occasions at speeds anywhere from 5-60 mph.very dangerous and frightening.this has been reported by thousands of other jeep owners and is eventually going to get people killed.
I bought my vehical used in june. (2006 jeep grand cherokee limited with 160,000 miles) i took it back to dealer where they told me the battery had issues and they "fixed" the problem. I'd be driving and if i came to a stop i would lose all power and my engine would turn off. At a drive through, it would die, at a stop light, die. In october my issues started up again. Now the same things are happening but every light on the dash lights up, flashes/flutter/flickers, headlights shut off, radio shuts off, hvac system shuts off, but engine will run for about 20min then i lose all power where ever i am, i'll be driving down the highway going 55mph and the engine shuts off. Pulling into the store engine shuts off. On my way to work engine just shut off while going down the highway. Coasted as far as i could to get to a safe place to stop. Now it won't start again.
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.i realize that this is an older jeep but it seems chrysler should still be responsible for the vehicle safety.https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-jeep-cherokee-dashboard-shutoff-ignition-recall-watchdog-20141213-column.htmlthis article describes the exact issues i have seen repeatedly.now that the loss of power steering and braking assist have both happened over the last several weeks while driving (supposedly fixed by the ignition switch recall),this jeep is too dangerous to be on the road.
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.
The dash lights started flickering, then the brakes locked up and the jeep just lost power and turned off. This was the first time that the jeep's brakes locked up and lost power and this is enough to cause alarm and resulted with this complaint. I will not wait for a second time that the vehicle's brakes lock up and turns itself off at a more dangerous highway situation on a busy traffic and certainly not putting my family at this type of risk which is obviously a manufacturer's defect. [xxx], a customer service representative from jeep that i have spoken to advised that chrysler could possibly issue a recall if enough number of complaints were received from nhtsa.am i really supposed to wait until my family gets injured before something gets done with this known issue?the dash lights/gauges issue has been ongoing and jeep had been contacted a few years back to no avail. I also advised [xxx] (jeep rep) about all four handles breaking at the same time.i had to open the door from the outside to let my daughter and her friend get out of the backseat. These handles should not break at all due to it's normal use and purpose. I request your department to please investigate this obvious safety issue, and avoid any injuries that this defect could cause.thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a 2006 grand cherokee with 30,000 miles. While driving on a residential road, the steering gave out and the vehicle crashed into cars on the right - the vehicle was going around 15mps. Upon inspection the actual inner ball joint that threads into the power steering unit broke free causing the front right wheel to cut loose. The threads were stripped off of the ball joint that connects the rod into the power steering unit. My insurance adjusters quote did not include the steering rack/rodas he did not believe it broke due to the impact in the accident.the threads in the power steering unit are fine. Chrysler's investigation determined are not responsible and there was no component failure. The damage on the vehicle was all front end (bumper, grill, etc) and there is no damage on any of the steering components, just the failed threads.if the steering did fail and the vehicle was on the highway this accident could have been very severe.the steering rack has been replaced and the old parts are available for inspection.
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 intoneutral 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 still not fixing the issue or getting any help from the people who built the issue. Everywhere i look and everyone i contact say these issues could be a number of things but yet chrysler has failed to have a system that spits out codes directly pointing out the issue in turn creating a greater safety issue on the roads. Who knows, maybe the next jeep that dies will take out someoneyou love.
I was driving my 2006 grand cherokeethe other night in the rain and i started going down a hill and i hit a little bump and my brakes like locked up in the front and i went to turn into a drive way after it did that and i had no power steering and my battery light came on and this has happened to me now twice in the last few weeks!
I bought my 06 jeep in march of 2015 and had problems with it ever since. First incident happend right after i bought car. Pulled in to mcdonalds drive through and steering wheel locked up on me and dashboard lights lite up all of them. Scared the crap out of me. Same things happened at least 6 other times where the steering wheel would lock up and truck would shut off. I was sitting at a stop light when the dashboard lights lit up and then truck died. Truck will appear to be racing at times when i barly hit gas.i had my 5 year old granddaught with me and the truck shut off while i was driving going about 45 miles. I never was so scared in my life. All i could image was me and my precious granddaughter dying. I was so scared, i could notdrive for a day or twoto settle my nerves. Please help !!!!!. I think that chrysler needs to pay for rentals till issue is fixed or have trucks replaced before someone dies. !!!!!!!
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The vehicle stalled while turning at an unknown speed. The failure occurred twice. During the first occasion, the vehicle stalled and crashed into a curb. The vehicle was able to be restarted. In addition, while making a turn, the steering wheel seized and the vehicle crashed into a guardrail. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system) and stated that the remedy was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Received the recall notice and contacted porterville chrysler.despite the recall notice about increased risk of occupant injury as well as the potential to cause a collision without warning, they said they had no parts to replace the ones causing the issue, and they had no idea when they would.they claim to have had parts on order for over a year but none have been received and that they could not help me out by complying with the recall notice.

When driving the dash lights will come on heater stops working making it unsafe
Randomly, my car wouldn't start and i would think that the battery went dead. Then, another jeep owner told me to put my foot on the brake and jiggle the shifter, and that it should work. This worked and after about a year of utilizing this work around, the car felt like it was slipping in between gears as i was driving. It felt like it was fishtailing, however i would see the auto-steering and abs lights pop up on the dashboard and it felt like the car was losing control. I took it to several mechanics whom would check the starter, realign, do more random testing and the problem persisted. After thousands of dollars and hours spent trying to identify the issue, i eventually received a recall notice in the mail telling me that there was indeed a major issue, however the part needed to correct it was unavailable and more needed to be manufactured. It also stated that ishouldn't drive the vehicle, but rent a car until the part was available and that the cost would be reimbursed eventually, once a part was available to repair the issue. I could not afford to rent a car for an unknown amount of time... And the part remained unavailable for the duration of the time that i owned it. I tool it to a mechanic at one point, explained to them about the recall which they were familiar with, and they replaced my starter, hoping that this would make the car "safer" until the part was available. It did help, however did not rectify the issue. By the time the part became available, i had already spent thousands trying to fix it and had traded it in to a dealership when i took on a lease. Now it doesn't seem to matter how much money i spent trying to fix the issue prior to the part being available as they are only willing to reimburse you for the specific recall itself. Maybe had i been calling them from a hospital room as a result of an accident, they would feel differently.

Purchased the 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (4.7l) new from dealership.it stalls unexpectedly.usually at low speeds.most of the time while turning.it does it probably once every two or three months, which makes it next to impossible to duplicate at the dealership.in addition, no codes are ever tripped, leaving no proof of an existing problem.we have taken it to the dealership on three separate occasions over the years while it was still under warranty, however, the dealerships maintained that if they could not duplicate the problem, they could not fix the problem, leaving it unresolved.the jeep now has over 100k on it (out of warranty) and it continues to stall.what i find odd, is that this particular problem was happening to thousands of people with jeeps like mine over the years, but on the three separate occasions we took it into the dealership, they acted like they had never heard of the problem.how is this possible?
I was driving to work down an incline/hill on 9/2, there was traffic ahead, the engine shut off and the breaks locked.i pulled the e-break and swerved off the side of the road, luckily without any crash. I was able to restart the vehicle but had a tow truck tow it to my local mechanic who verified there was no problem with the breaks, and notified me of the recall p41 on the ignition switch which can cause the engine to shut off and power steering and breaks to lock while driving. The jeep dealership told me not only are the parts not available but they don't know when they will be available and they can't diagnose this as the problem without replicating the problem.this is a known issue so it is unclear to me why the issue would have to be replicated.i have a baby and do not want to drive this car, as recommended by jeep customer service and the dealership, and risk accident to myself or others until the part is in and fixed.i can't believe jeep would ask me to continue driving this vehicle not only knowing there is a risk but an actual problem.i think it's fair that jeep provide me with a safe alternative form of transportation in the meantime.

I was driving on a busy road at night approaching a 4 way traffic light intersection.i was going approximately 35-40 mph and the road conditions were dry.suddenly the electric, lights, gauges, steering and braking system in my jeep began flickering and spasming like my jeeps entire electric system was having seizures and was switching power on and off. To the cars ahead of me it looked like i was flashing my lights and the cars behind me as if i was turning my lights on and off rapidly.i pulled off the road intoa parking lot and my jeep continued to spasm and flicker on and off.i turned my vehicle off and let it sit in hopes that this issue was a one time electrical glitch and also because i couldn't safely drive it in this condition.i eventually started my vehicle again and began to drive thinking it was alright.within minutes it began doing the same thing again.my vehicle has continued to randomly exhibit this behavior along with additionally all the gauge lights and sounds blinking and chiming for several minutes at a time.i never know when it is going to happen but when it does it is extremely dangerous and scary to be in the vehicle.i only have my ignition key on the key ring but that doesn't seem to make any difference.i have noticed that my ignition switch is extremely sensitive even when initially starting the vehicle.

My pregnant wife has had this issue before with the car and we took it to the dealership without anyone being able to fix it. While driving between 15-60 mph the car completely shuts down.no power steering, brakes, or electrical.you have to throw it in neutral and start it back up.this has to be an electrical issue as other quirky things have been happening as well such as the headlights will flicker on and off and the volume and stations selectors on the steerwheel often do not work properly.this is an issue that jeep needs to identify and fix.very scary to be going 50-60 mph and lose control of your car going down the highway.over the past two days this has happened three times.i have done research online as well and there are plenty of other jeep owners that have this same issue.jeep needs to have a recall for this issue.i am shocked that this has not happened yet.

During the month of may 2011 the plastic interior door handle recesses began to crack and ultimately the pieces literally began to fall of the vehicle rendering the door handles useless when attempting to open the door from inside as door handles no longer had a pivot point to operate against when attempting to pull the interior door handle in an effort to operate the door latch mechanism.this failure makes it impossible to open the door from inside the vehicle short of rolling down the power windows and pulling on the outside door handle. On the tenth of june 2011 the selling dealer was called concerning this issue and the operations manager stated he could not do anything.subsequently chrysler customer assistance was called and after several exchanges with two different case managers, on the 21st of june i was told by the presiding case manager that due to the fact that the vehicle had approximately 80,000 miles on it and had been out of warranty for so long (2006 jeep grand cherokee larado) chrysler would do nothing.
During the weeks of early march, i experienced leaks of the interior of my 2006 jeep grand cherokee dripping on the passenger side (a-pillar), driver side (a-pillar) and above the home garage door controls (overhead console) after it rained/snowed. I brought in the vehicle on march 22 to a jeep dealership service center where it was troubleshoot with re-securing the weather strip above windshield and a gasket in the sunroof was replaced (tsb 23 040 06).however 2 days later the leak occurred again on the passenger side and driver side (abover the driver, myself) in which it does take your focus off the road as water drips on your legs/knee.the leak has yet to be resolved, as vehicle was brought in a second time on march 28 and no confirmed trouble-shoot was completed as i retrieved the vehicle back on march 31st with a theory of the leak either coming from the windshield or the sunroof.the service technicians said they would call back once more detail was investigated by the manager however i never received once call-back.interestingly on the 28th when i brought the vehicle in he said "this was the 4th vehicle this week", among others that i myself have found online of multiple jeep owners even the 2011 model having the same issue which is a safety issue as thunderstorm season is here and heavy downpours and leaks dripping on the driver are distractive and take focus off the road. I don't understand why a recall has not been issued from jeep after so many owners have this issue and end up paying out of pockets for repairs to their carpets(mold), stereo damage, among other things. Fortunately i have not heard of any major accidents from this but a distraction is definitely out there for drivers if it leaksor starts leaking while on a highway.
Purchased a new 2006 grand chrokee. After i reaching1,200 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 itwas worse when it wascloudy 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 tradefor a new vehicle and both refused. So now i am about to apply for lemonlaw 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!
When attempting to exit the vehicle the door handle cracked the door panel and released the door handle from the door leaving it unusable and the door unable to be exited. Was attempting to flea vehicle and was trapped inside due to weak plastic failing in the door handle. In the event there was a fire or even toxic gas in the car cabin, there would have been a fatality. Extremely unsafe and should be recalled.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited with only 50k miles and the door panels on 2 doors so far have broken out and now you can't get out of the vehicle from the inside. I have already had both front door panels/handles replaced. The plastic around the door handles is very thin and cheap and breaks very easily. This is a major safety concern for me especially with children. If these door handle/panels break then you have no way to get out of the car safely. Jeep doesn't seem to care about it and accepts no responsibility. I have done research on my own and found out that is a very common occurrence with this jeep model, across several years models. I am extremely frustrated about the poor quality of the vehicle compartment and service by jeep.
Every time we have a rain storm, the front floor driver's side gets soaking wet. I have to lay down towels to dry it and then let the sun do the rest. It has leaked since i purchased it in 2010 but keep waiting for a recall. I found a recall for a 2007 jeep like mine for the same leakage problem. It appears to come down the tract on the outside and runs in under the carpet on the driver's side only. I don't want it to mold or rust outmy floor so would like to have it repaired. Thank you very much.

Car will pop out of gear and into neutral while driving at speeds under 60mph. Car has been owned by me since it had 9000 miles and has been serviced regularly and is a low mileage car. Desintegrating door panels, issues with transmission that could cause loss of control in traffic, what next. Chrysler maintains that there are no recalls for these known safety hazards. Crazy.updated 2/25/2015
Due to the fixed forward tilting head restraint on the jeep grand cherokee, it is impossible to fit a child restraint seat in the outboard positions of the rear seat. Placing more than one child restraint in this vehicle in the forward facing position is impossible.
Driver side interior door trim behind the door handle has broken away. Without the trim the door handle does not remain in the correct position. Door handle has to be set back into proper position before door can be opened. This is concerning when i consider exiting the vehicle quickly in an emergency. Also the handle/trim condition is deteriorating and it won't be long before the handle fails completely.
All the inside door handles are starting to break off at the panel and would not be able to open the doors from the inside in the case od an accident.

Interior door handles are cracking and crumbling on the car. The only repair the dealer has is to replace the door panels for $800 each. I contactedchrysler group llc customer assistance([xxx]), they refuse to do anything about it.they will not acknowledge there is a problem with the door handles. They will only say that my car is to old, has no warranty so therefore they cannot assist me with this repair.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When exiting vehicle, driver side door handle fell off, making the door inoperable.
After buying a pre-owned 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (59k miles) a few days ago, i noticed that one of the backseat interior door handles is broken.there is no apparent break from what you can see, but some plastic must have cracked inside of the door itself.i've read that this is a common problem in 05-07 jeep grand cherokees and there is no recall.it seems that, although it is only the one interior door handle now, eventually all four will break.this is a safety issue because it prevents passengers from exiting the vehicle without help from outside of the car.the fix is quoted at $400/door, making it somewhat unreasonable, especially for a crucial and simple function of the car.

All four interior door handles and attaching mounts on my jeep grand cherokee are now cracked are now not usable to exit the vehicle, numerous complaints to delmar chrysler go unheard and unanswered, and the company offers no solution or recall to this obvious defect in the manufacture of this vehicle. The plastic used to mount the door handles is brittle and will crack beyond repair, making it impossible to open the door from the inside, this is a major safety issue. The vehicle cannot be exited by passenger in the event of a crash or emergency. I suppose someone will die in a crashed, burning, or sinking vehicle before chrysler will step up and recall this important safety issue.

The electric sunroof developed a small leak when it rained. One day my wife took the jeep to the car wash and the inside was soaked. The electrical system in the doors was wet and also in the roof. The sunroof was defective in some way causing the leaking into the vehicle and the electrical system.
We own a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. When we start the vehicle, for about the first 20 minutes of driving, the vehicle will shut off multiple times when driving slow or coming to a stop. My wife was coming home from workand she was leaving the parking garage she parked at for work. When she was driving up the ramp to exit the garage, the jeep shut off on her and it rolled backwards down the ramp into a building support pillar. This caused damage to the back bumper and taillight. We were lucky nobody was hurt or behind her when this happened.when i drive the jeep it seems like it happens more often. When i leave for work in the morning and arrive at the first stop light, the jeep will shut off. Sometimes it turns green at the same time so i have to shift back to neutral to start up, making some people miss the green. When i leave work to head home, every time i pull up to the gate to leave, it shuts off. It jumps forward when it shuts off, sometimes i feel like i will hit the gate (have to get close to gate in order for scanner to read garage access pass).please make a solution for this recall as it is very dangerous and we got lucky with just a minor accident so far.

All four of my door panels have cracked/disintegrated behind the door handle.august 1, the drivers door handle is now non functional requiring the lowering of the window to exit vehicle.this would be a safety hazard in a crash.dealer states all door panels must be replaced at part cost of $450 each (install extra) - this is obviously a defect given that all four doors have done this and there are many internet threads about the issue.
The two interior back door handles broke.my two grandsons, ages 6 and 9, are the only people riding in the backseat and they did not mistreat them.they each broke about at the same time.when i was reading online about what to do, i saw that a huge number of other jeep grand cherokees were having the same problem.if we were in an emergency situation where we need to vacate the vehicle immediately.

All four door handles on my 2006 jeep laredo had broken for no reason.jeep had been contacted numerous times via chat and phone to no avail.this issue was originally addressed at an original complaint submission dated back a year ago but the issue on the door handles was never addressed.this vehicle is used to carpool kids to/from school and about two weeks ago, a friend of my daughter's had hurt (pinched) his hand trying to exit the vehicle.this may seem to be a small matter, but as a parent driving kids to/from school and school events, i cannot just wait for an "emergency" to occur before taking action. This may not be electrical or engine related but as i see it, doors are used to exit the vehicle and in the event that there's an emergency, i would like to think that my family (and other passengers) can safely exit the vehicle.as stated in the original statement/complaint, i have had to let my daughter get out of the car by opening the passenger side door for her.these handles should not have broken due to its normal use but because of a defective or lower quality item used for these door handles, it is now a safety hazard.this has been a known issue on these jeeps and i would really appreciate if your office could review this issue with chrysler/jeep as such equipment/item should not have passed quality inspection.thank you very much in advance, and i can only hope that this be resolved as soon as possible.
My daughter was trying to exit the vehicle and the door handle broke off.i have seen numerous posts on the internet describing the same problem.this is a serious safety hazard in the event of an accident or other emergency requiring quick exit from the car.the door must now be opened from the outside.this could result in a person being trapped in the vehicle unnecessarily.there needs to be a recall to have these defective parts replaced by jeep.
The door handle has broken on the driver side of my jeep making it difficultto openthe door.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee, all four door handles have cracks around the plastic. My back passenger door handle has actually come off. I am concerned for obvious safety issues. Once you are in the car you cannot exit through that door. I only became aware of the situation in december 2013. When the rear door handle fell off. I contact the chrysler corporate immediately, and they told me to go through the dealership. After weeks of going back and forth they finally agreed to pay only one third of the total cost. I believe this is a defect on their part, and should be responsible for 100% of replacement. I also understand from the dealership that this is a very frequent issue with this model.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While parked, the front passenger door handle fractured. The contact stated that all of the door handles fractured over a small period of time. The front and rear passenger side doors could not be opened from the interior or the exterior of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the technicians stated that the front and rear driver and passenger side door panels would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.
All four interior door panels have cracked and broken where it attaches to the door. Consequently, the door handles become inoperable because they are attached to the panel where the cracking occurs. This is a safety issue as both driver and passengers are unable to exit quickly in the event of an emergency and might not even be able to exit at all. Chrysler offers no assistance for this known issue, which appears to occur frequently with this model year.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact looked through the rearview mirror and noticed metal debris falling from underneath the vehicle. The contact pulled the vehicle off the roadway to inspect underneath it and noticed that the skid plate under the fuel tank was bent and rotting away. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously at the dealer (bob richards chrysler dodge jeep ram 1666 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829 (855) 984-5458) for power steering replacement and transmission inspection. While the vehicle was on the lift for the transmission inspection, the dealer's mechanic noticed that the skid plate was damaged, which could have been a fire hazard with a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken back to bob richards chrysler dodge jeep ram (1666 jefferson davis hwy, graniteville, sc 29829 (855) 984-5458) where it was diagnosed that the skid plate was gone and needed replacement. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for repairs due to the less expensive cost. The contact also stated that the vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system), but the failure continued and the ignition would inadvertently turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact believed that the failure was related to the wiring harness and not the ignition switch. When the vehicle was started and the engine was turned off, it restarted itself seconds later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 152,000.
Slowly pulling up to a food mart, i applied brake to come to a normal stop. Jeep slowed slightly for a brief moment, then suddenly and powerfully accelerated approx. 3 feet forward into the building while my foot remained firmly on the brake, causing damage to both vehicle and storefront. A dangerous design flaw, this is the 2nd time the accelleration problem it has occurred (local authorized dealer thought it was fixed). I've since found many instances online with other jeep owners experiencing the same exact thing - some of which resulted in fatalities. The cause of this accident was total brake failure, and sudden unintended accelleration (sua) - an issue which former connecticut attorney general (and current senator) has urged general motors to address on numerous occasions.
Inner interior inside door handles cracked making the door inoperable from the interior. My nine year old daughter closed the door with regular force and the inner door handle cracked. Upon trying to open the door, the plastic completely broke making the door inoperable. This trapped her inside and prevented her from exiting. On a separate occasion, another inner door handle broke on the same vehicle and cut my hand on the sharp plastic as i tried to open the door. This would be a serious issue in an emergency. All 4 are now cracked or broken with no evidence of excessive use or improper use. No excessive impact to the inner door handles has ever been noticed. This is a common problem reported by many jeep owners on jeep forum websites.
All of the interior door handles are becoming non-operative.the plastic that they mount to is brittle and cracks very easily rendering the door handle inoperable.
The rear passenger side interior door panel cracked where it is attached to the door and the handle falls off, leaving the rear passenger side unable to exit the vehicle without assistance. This occurs with normal use, no abnormal use or abuse.
The rear driver side interior door panel cracked where it is attached to the door and the handle falls off, leaving the rear passenger unable to exit the vehicle without assistance. This occurs with normal use, no abnormal use or abuse.

Three of the four door handles on the interior have broken, only the driver door handle works and in an emergency no passengers will be able to get out without assistance from outside.
All four of the interior door handles have stress cracks and are broken.these door handles have not been abused or misused.this situation is a known defect by jeep and are unwilling to fix it.this is a very unsafe condition for the occupants of the vehicle.all four doors need to be repaired.
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.
Passenger rear door handle broken off due to cheap, defective plastic the door panel is made of.upon further inspection, all 3 of the other doors have the same cracks in the door panel - it is only a matter of time before the plastic on those cracks and chips off, and those door handles also break off.you can not open the door from the inside once the handles break off - this is a defect in the doors.this is not a result of wear and tear on a vehicle that had less than 50,000 miles when we purchased it.i have never owned a vehicle where broken door handles are considered normal "wear and tear".the cost of repair is $600-$700 per door panel - chyrsler needs to own the fact that these parts are defective and cover the cost for their owners.there are many, many posts on the internet regarding this issue from hundreds of jeep owners - it is inexcusable.

July 26th 2010 is when i first purchased my 2006 jeep grand cherokee and my back two doors were inoperable. No one could get out of the doors from the inside out. I drove around for a whole year before i got it replaced. The operation homefront replaced my rear doors for me with nothing coming out of my pockets. If it wasn't for ohf i would've came out of my pocket $1200 to fix just the rear doors. I needed them fixed because i have a child and that is a safety hazard if my child cannot get out of the vehicle. Jeep said there was not a recall on the door panels for this vehicle. Right now my driver side door panel is failing and i do not have the money to fix the door because it is so expensive to fix. Jeep needs to do a recall or someone is going to get hurt. My handle is separating form the door and soon i will not be able to get out of my driver side door.

The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that all four side door panels were fractured and broken. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated there were no recalls for the failure. The manufacturer was contacted who offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 51,000.
Long story short my wife heard a noise in the passenger side front end. I had her stop by belle tire (where tires came from) to check it out. They said the passenger side lower control arm bracket separated from the frame and was not safe to drive! belle said they had never seen anything like it! i had it taken to town & country collision in flat rock (an a-1 shop) and they said they can't fix it unless they replace the whole frame! i also have a friend that's an insurance adjuster who has never seen anything like it! i'm wondering if there were ever any incidents in your system for anything like this? i will offer to give you the vehicle, as i did with chrysler in my complaint to them, for investigative purposes? i know from my years of work in the automotive industry that there were salt spray tests & requirements on most chassis parts. People are astounded that a 15 year old jeep that's never been in an accident and is garaged and kept clean and maintained and still running like top could have a failure as this! any assistance or direction you can provide is appreciated.
My door handles have all broken within the first 3 years of owning my car and luckily i had a warrenty. Now they are broken again.this is a huge safetly issue for my child in the back seat who cant get out for school and if i were in an accident he would not be able to get out of the car. Not happy that there is no recall to protect jeep customers.
The interior door handle on the drivers side front started to get hair line cracks in it. It is cracking more and more with use. At some point the handle will come apart and i will not be able to get out of my car.i asked the dealer about a repair and they want $800.00 to replace the whole door panel.it appears this will happen with the other doors as well. There are after market repair kits, but after researching and finding that this is a chronic problem with the handles, i believe jeep should replace or repair them for free.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the plastic housing that supports the chrome latch for all four doors had fractured causing the latches to hang unsecured to the doors.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the interior door assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000. The vin was not available. Updated 06/14/16*lj
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo.the paint has been cracking and peeling for the last two years.i have already had the roof and hood painted and spent over $1000.00.when my repair guy painted it, he told me there was three coats of paint on the vehicle.i purchased the vehicle from medved in castle rock, co in 2006 brand new.it has never been repainted.i have spoke to 3 dealerships and they told me it is a common problem.the entire vehicle is now cracked and will be completely peeled off in 1 year.the quote to fix it is $3500.00 - $4000.00. I called jeep and they offered free oil changes for 2 years.ridiculous.i a still have a loan on it. There is no possible way i can afford to repaint this vehicle.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Three of four door handles have broken,first two being rarely used doors.this is a flaw and safety hazard.cost to repair extremely expensive from manufacturer.
All four inside door handles are cracked/broken, the front driver side handle is dangling making it hard to open and the passenger front handle seems to be going in the same direction. The two rear handle casings are cracked and hopefully will last being the rear seats are hardly used. This could become a very dangerous even life threatening situation if it becomes totally broken off and unable to open it in an emergency. Supposedly chrysler/jeep claims that until my call a few months ago "they knew nothing of this matter, no one has reported this problem". I know it's not just me and at $500 a door panel it is impossible for me to have it repaired. There has to be a recall to this door casing cracking/breaking problem. Please, please help!
The rear door handle on the drivers side broke.it cracked and the problem now is you cannot open the door.this is a definite safety hazard.the replacement part is $530 or you can get a kit for $150.the installation is $102.why would there be a kit being produced if there wasn't a major problem?i spoke to chrysler customer care and they will not do anything.there are numerous complaints on the internet regarding this issue on the 2005 and 2006 jeep grand cherokees.from what i heard from fields in sanford the dealer the manufacturer sold inferior parts.right now only one door is broken but i expect it will happen to the other 3.that particular door is rarely used so it was obviously defective.any help you can give me would be appreciated.
All 4 interior door handles are broken. One can no longer be opened from the inside. The other 3 are dangling and are about to break.
Broken car door handle/panel on both the front driver and passenger doors.driver side is getting so bad, i am concerned and nervous that any day now, i won't be able to open door from inside the vehicle.brought it to a local jeep dealership approximately 6 months ago when i first noticed this and was informed this issue is not covered under "extended warranty" and cost would be over $1000 to replace entire door panel and that's just for one door.except for this issue which is beyond my control, i keep my vehicle in excellent condition and it has very low miles, but the unsightly door handle/panels just makes the appearance of my jeep look like trash besides the fact that this is now becoming a safety issue.
All 4 of the inside door handles have broken with no misuse whatsoever, as a matter of fact each door was "broken" by different people by simply trying to open the door.i am worried that if there was an accident my passengers or myself could not get out of the truck.
Interior passenger door handle broke off - within one week's time - noticed all remaining doorhandles were cracking and will break off shortly.no excessive wear and tear has caused this - shows defective parts due to the fact that all have become cracked/broken at the same time.two of the door handles get very little use, so it is not due to excessive or abusive use.this is a safety hazard - in case of an accident, my son would be unable to exit the back of the vehicle due to broken handles!!!!
I am not sure how, but the rear passenger door panel cracked and door handle fell off leaving back seat passengers vulnerable (a child rides back there).in addition, there is a large crack in the panel of the front passenger door as well.i have 70,500 miles on the vehicle with a service contract of 7 years/85,000 miles maximum care still in effect.i took the vehicle to my local dealership (hall chrysler jeep in virginia beach) and was quoted $475 for a back ordered door panel (which to replace both doors comes to $950...unacceptable!)i refused to order the unit since this is a safety concern, and should be covered by my service contract.i contacted chrysler group, llc and was told that "handles and plastic parts are not covered"...the handle isn't broken, the panel needs to be replaced in order to correct this issue.i feel this is a genuine safety concern and urge the nhtsa to enforce a recall from jeep.if i were in an accident, my passengers would be trapped!!it is unconscionable that jeep would sell such a high-end vehicle with this kind of safety defect.of utmost concern is the fact that an extended, maximum care service contract would not cover this issue.i would like to know how other complainants with this issue had their cases resolved.updated05/12/11updated 06/28/11
The interior door plastic that holds the door handle has cracked and broken causing the parts to fall, causing the door to be only opened from the out site. This is a serious safety issue.a person on the inside of the car can not open the door unless you roll down the window and open from the out side. It appears this has happening with this vehicle on a large scale. This has occurred on 3 of the 4 doors. The dealers want 600 to 700 dollars to repair each door. Looks like the plastic to make the panels was defective. I have never seen this happen before or even heard of it until i started looking on line. The first auto i owned was in 1966, i have retained most of the auto i've owned at least 8 to 10 years from time of purchase and never have i seen anything like this. I'm afraid to drive the jeep because this issue.
Inside door handle on front door and back door is broken there is no reason for this other then it being cheap.i do not under stand why nhtsa has left this very bad safety problem go for so long.it may look as though they are in jeeps pockets its ok for jeep to charge 500 for a new panelright the consumeris getting the short end of it hereor there waiting for someone to panic and have a heart attack because i can't get out of the vehicle but i'm just saying and obviously this is been going on well before the 2006 jeep i have and ooooooooooooo still no help
When attempting to exit the vehicle the door handle cracked the door panel and released the door handle from the door leaving it unusable and the door unable to be exited. Was attempting to flea vehicle and was trapped inside due to weak plastic failing in the door handle. In the event there was a fire or even toxic gas in the car cabin, there would have been a fatality. Extremely unsafe and should be recalled.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo with only 60,234k miles and the door panels on 3 of the 4 doors so far have broken out just with the normal use, interior door handle crack, plastic breaks,handles go limp and handles fall off. The plastic panel components are fragile and cheap. This is a major safety concern for me especially with two children of 1 and 12 years olds because in an event of fire or and accidentthe boys can not get out from inside the car due the broken door handles. Cant find part to replace the door handlesbecause the complete door panel has to be replaced and the cost for each of one are more than 500.00 dollarsand that's not including the labor cost.i havecall chrysler jeep and they offer no recall or solution for this seriousmatter.
The passenger side door handle has broken completely due to the collapse of stress cracks in the plastic. The fracture caused a minor laceration on my right hand. The same incident happened a few days later to the right rear door and i noticed that the remaining doors have major stress cracks in the same place and are not safe to operate. We must open the window to operate the outside handles to exit the automobile. If an accident occurs all passengers ,especially children and those unable to reach the outside handles quickly, would be at serious risk of injury or death.i talked to the dealer and to a chrysler representative and was told they were not aware of the safety problem and did not offer any helpful solution other than to replace the four door panels at my expense. I will have to do the repairs because of the high risk to my family however it is not fair that a large company in the us can ignore such a major safety risk to it's customers. Hopefully an accident does not happen, particularly affecting children or seniors, before they seriously address the defect.this is obviously a serious safety issue and based upon the number of concerns raised throughout the internet it definitely affects many people.i believe it is the responsibility of the nhtsa to protect us from large companies that knowingly place us in a serious safety situation. Please do what's right and issue a safety recall in order to keep us safe.
The area behind the passenger side interior door handle has imploded, the plastic is cracked in several places, allowing the interior handle to hang loosely.the area would be best described as the well behind the handle. That door saw almost no use.it does not allow for normal exit of the vehicle, this is a safety issue.
2006 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles are cracking, three out of four are cracked and now one is inoperable.this is a safety hazard because the door can't be opened from inside.the plastic has become brittle and cracks, then breaks out.it is not a separate part and is part of the entire door panel.
Parked in driveway grand daughter pulled on door handle and it broke into pieces. Called jeep dealer to get replacement (not warranted)door handle,have to replacehole door panel.
Inside door handles are all broken and falling off . One back door will not open from the inside or the outside. The area behind the door handle is broken plastic that could very likely cause a bad cut on a persons hand. I have photos i can e-mail to you.vehicle is a 2006 jeep cherokee with around only 20k miles.updated ivoq 12/29/10
1. No events leading up to failure. Normal use ....and way less use than normal on some interior door handles.2.interior door handles crack, plastic breaks, handles go limp, handles fall off.3.called chrysler.looked for recall notices figuring this is major if people can't get out of a vehicle in an emergency.nothing done to correct the failure.can't find partsto replace missing and broken handles.chrysler wants around 500 dollars per each door handle!!!!!!! with 12,000 mile guarantee only (3 months).
Interior rear passenger door handle is broken.cannot exit the vehicle from that door.
The rear door handle broke off.the other 3 handles have cracks in the cheap plastic.passengers cannot get out of the vehicle without someone opening the door from the outside.this is a safety hazard and i fear that in an emergency, this easy fix could cost someone's life.jeep does not recognize this as a problem and does not offer a recall.after doing some research, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of other jeep owners that have had the same problem.
All door handles inside vehicle are broke. You cannot open the vehicle unless you roll window down and open door from the outside. This is a safety issue. If there is no power to vehicle to roll window down, you will be stuck in the vehicle. In an emergency situation, you will not be able to exit vehicle. Several complaints from 2003-2008 filed about same issue from multiple models.a recall needs to be issued.
Both rear (left and right) door handles have broken clean off.the front two door handles have broken and chipped, but are still intact.no one in my back seat can get out without someone having to get out of the car and let them out from the outside.these have not had excessive pressure or pulling on them, they have just resulted in 3 out of 4 door handles being broken due to normal use and force for exiting the vehicle.there needs to be a recall on this part as i have seen multiple complaints about the same thing happening to others jeep cherokees.my car is a 2006 jeep grand cherokee with a hemi, limited edition.
Just concerned about the interior door handles breaking. The front 2 are both cracked and pieces falling out leading to the door handles failing if emergency exit required.
Interior door handles are breaking and not sturdy. Some door cannot be opened from the inside as the handles are not reliable and even some cause minor injuries due to sharp edges.
Inside door handles are breaking making exiting the jeep hard.
The housing surrounding the front driver and passenger interior door handle has cracked and broken away resulting in compromised exit from the vehicle. This is a very common issue among 2005-2010 jeep grand cherokee vehicles and should be recalled buy chrysler. The 5-6-2014 date is when the passenger door occurred which resulted in me inspecting my driver side showing the driver side was severely compromised.
Jeep grand cherokee interior door panels.
At the time of this complaint three of four of the door handles on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo have broken off and are unusable. The plastic handles and the supporting door frames are all cracking in the same location and the handles then fall off. The dealer just told me that the warranty may not covered because the ?problem start after 50,000 miles?, this is ridiculous, and the manufacturer has been unwilling to even discuss the issue, they didn't answer phone calls, even voicemails, nothing at all!for me it?s more than obvious, this is a safety hazard as it takes more time to egress the vehicle in an accident.just think about this hypothetical situation; you're with the family, (wife, daughters, grandfather and grandmother), all windows up, then appears somebody and hits you, inside three of four handles didn't operates.
I purchased this jeep in dec of last year.slowly but surely the plastic component that houses the interior door handle has cracked, with pieces falling out.now on the right side rear door the handle has fallen out because the plastic has completely failed.the other three plastic pieces are also all cracking with handles already getting loose.if there were an emegency situation, it is not possible to exit vehicle via the rear door.i am afraid that in due time the other handles will fall out.
My passenger was getting out of car, opened the and all the plastic around the doorhandle crack, which now is a safety issue because cant use the handle to open the door, incase of an accident passenger is unable to exit, i am single with no children so the other doors aren't hardly used, there is no reason it should be weak, so i called the chrysler group to inquire about another recall i received, and mentioned this to them, they told my jeep wasn't in the recall, but have the dealer check the door, when i take it in for the other issue, and have them diagnosis it, to see if its a manufacturing defect...which i asked if it is will it be paid for, they couldn't answer, they kept saying, maybe they could cost assist me...i don't understand there are so many complaints with this issue, plus its a safety concern, because most aren't paying to get it fixed, well i have appointment next week ..i let everyone know how it turns out..my jeep only has 75,000miles on it.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2006 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles disintegrate making it impossible to open doors from inside.obviously a tremendous safety concern in case of mishap as all four disintegrate at the same rate.we had 2 totallyfail rendering door inoperative and occupant unable to exit.
Door handles on both front driver and passenger sides have cracked and if these break, have no way to exit the vehicle. This seems to be a safety issue and jeep will not honor it.
All four door handles broke.when you tried to open the door the handle crashed and you ended with the door handle in your hand.
Interior drivers side door handle is cracked/broken. Chrysler corp. Dealer states that it will cost $600.there has been hundreds of complaints for same defective/cheap door handles and their breakage, made on internet.this is an unsafe issue.people can't get out of their vehicles!

Driver's door interior handle housing broken rendering door handle inoperative.cannot open door in normal operation and is a hazard in an emergency.jeep is unwilling to fix defective parts and states that the entire door panel has to be replaced at a cost over $700/ea., but the parts are on national backorder.doing a quick search brings up numerous complaints about the same problem with no clear solution.i am now concerned that the other doors will fail soon.
Interior door handles are cracked and starting to break. Contacted jeep and they indicated that it is acknowledged as a weak component and that in some instances has been replaced. However, because of the age of my car, they refused to replace it as a warranty item.i emphasized on the safety aspect of passengers being trapped inside my car but they just indicated that there is nothing that they can do about it.
The plastic component that houses the interior door handle has cracked, with pieces falling out. Now on the right side rear door the handle has fallen out because the plastic has completely failed. The other three plastic pieces are also all cracking with handles already getting loose. If there were an emergency situation, it is not possible to exit vehicle via the rear door. I am afraid that in due time the other handles will fall out.
I just recently purchased a 2006 jeep grand cherokee for over $14,000.within the first month before i have even made my first payment 3 of the 4 interior door handles have broken.i went back to the dealer and was told this is an issue that has to be taken up with the manufacturer.after coming home and doing research on the internet i have seen endless complaints of this happening, but yet nothing has been done to correct this safety hazard by chrysler. Imagine for a moment your in an accident and are unable to open your car door to free yourself, or even worse your child.i cannot imagine this is an issue that chrysler would not take care of.for all three handles to break at once is unbeivable and for chrysler to feel they do not owe the consumer a recall to rectify this situation is mind boggling.i personally have called and voiced my opinion and was told to fix it myself.believe me i will be going to my lawyer in the morning to see what needs to be done to file a class action suit against chrysler and to also have documentation that i have voiced my concern about this safety hazard to no avail.
3 of 4 door panels with door handle to get out of vehicle has broken in same place. Driver has to get out of car to open the 3 doors. This is a safety issue because no one can get out of the car execpt the driver. This is caused most likely due to the thin plastic holding the door mechanism. Also if company (jeep) did not use uv protected plastic the sun and hi temperatures in texas may have contributed to the engineering flaw. The plastic piece holds the entire handle in the door and should have used a stifner to supprot it properly. As is if accident was to happen passengers would be stuck in vehicle.
Passenger rear door interior door handle has broken.there was no abuse, the interior door handle was opened by an adult and then while opening the door from the inside, the interior door handle broke due to just opening the door.i have researched this on many blogs and many other jeep grand cherokee owners are experiencing this same problem.the interior door handle area is too weak to handle the stress of casual openings.
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 quality of the vehicle itself.
Two issues.1. The driver and passenger doors on the vehicle are not designed to stay open. They return with excessive force and have dinged ankles several times. Anyone more frail will have a cracked ankle.2. The horn is too difficult to activate.
To whom it may concern:this morning i went outside to my 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited, to pack it up for the day.i opened the back lift gate and began to load items.as i was loading stuff, the lift gate came crashing down on the top of my head, with no resistance.it hit so hard that for a moment, i was unaware of what had just happened.i tried to lift it off of myself, and it bounced back off my head again.i immediately got myself into the house to seek help.the pain was unbearable and i had tingling in the right side of my face and neck, and burning and throbbing pain in my head and right ear.i was immediately rushed to the dr's office and was told that i have a contusion, with bleeding in the muscle and symptoms similar to a concussion.i did not lose consciousness, but am suffering all symptoms.i was told to keep ice on the area and take tylenol for the pain.i need to be kept under observation for the next 24 hrs by my family.my father has come to the assumption that with it being 8 degrees outside, that the pistons were lacking or contained frozen fluid, which causes them to not work properly.this is a major issue, not only to me, but to others.this should not be happening regardless of temperature.i am thankful that no children were standing next to me, as it would have probably created a fatality with the weight and speed of the gate crashing.i have had to have the front hood piston replaced for the same problem, but never even thought of the back lift gate being an issue.i can tell you this is my second suv and i never had this issue before with my other suv, not even in temperature below zero.please address this issue as soon as possible before someone else gets hurt, as most people are unaware of this issue, just like i was.i have only had this jeep for a little over a month and it has been nothing but problems technically.now that i have gotten those fixed, i physically get injured by it.
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.

The manufacturer was also called and confirmed what the dealer stated. The failure mileage was 24,362.updated 11/16/10. *lj
Door handles on all 4 doors are coming apart.the chrome lever is breaking the plastic mold.the rear passenger door lever is totally broke off so the door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle.it is a definite defect in the vehicle.
Purchased 2006 jeep grand cherokee new. Within first 6 months have been taking it bake to the dealer for intermittent lack/stalling. This happens while driving at different speeds and mostly making slight turns or when i begin to turn as well as up and down hill. This has been going on for the last 2 yrs,but most recently has happened alot more offend. I have taken it to the dealer with no result each time. Within the last 2 weeks is has stalled at least 7 times. 9/27/08 i was injured from slamming the breaks and fighting the steering to avoid a head on collision at an intersection while starting to make a turn. I did take it to the dealer and again with no result. The day i dropped it off at the dealer it shut down in their lot. I was told that this would have been recorded in the codes,but they told me they found nothing. The next day it stalled while dropping my son off at school. He was with me when i was injured so i can prove it does happen. I did call the dealer back and that was 3 days ago. They will not return my phone call let alone honor my warranty. This car is not safe.
Interior door handles are breaking and not sturdy. Some door cannot be opened from the inside as the handles are not reliable and even some cause minor injuries due to sharp edges.

2006 jeep grand cherokee make a grinding noise while turning. Consumer states that the mechanic could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. When noise occurred again it also made the entire front panel flash.the dealer informed the consumer the tires had been rotated and the griding noise should cease. The consumer was told the transmission was leaking, so the dealer replaced the o-ring and a bushing.
Long story short my wife heard a noise in the passenger side front end. I had her stop by belle tire (where tires came from) to check it out. They said the passenger side lower control arm bracket separated from the frame and was not safe to drive! belle said they had never seen anything like it! i had it taken to town & country collision in flat rock (an a-1 shop) and they said they can't fix it unless they replace the whole frame! i also have a friend that's an insurance adjuster who has never seen anything like it! i'm wondering if there were ever any incidents in your system for anything like this? i will offer to give you the vehicle, as i did with chrysler in my complaint to them, for investigative purposes? i know from my years of work in the automotive industry that there were salt spray tests & requirements on most chassis parts. People are astounded that a 15 year old jeep that's never been in an accident and is garaged and kept clean and maintained and still running like top could have a failure as this! any assistance or direction you can provide is appreciated.
I have did a tune up and cleaned the oil my check engine light is still on and check gas cap won't go away after numerous times of changing it my wheels and struts are damaged
Door handles on all 4 doors are coming apart.the chrome lever is breaking the plastic mold.the rear passenger door lever is totally broke off so the door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle.it is a definite defect in the vehicle.
2006 jeep grand cherokeesprings for the struts are weak and can snap going over a bumps in road causing damage to the struts and replacement of both parts.i currently had this happen and was told by my garage they sees this so much from jeep the parts are on backorder since they can not keep up with the demand.
The oem nut holding the pinch bolt to the upper control arm in my 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited came loose and ultimately fell off.this caused the upper control arm to separate from the vehicle, which resulted in the front driver's side wheel and hub assembly breaking off from the axle while in motion.the vehicle came to a stop with three intact wheels and the driver's side wheel underneath the body.fortunately, the vehicle was not at highway speed or severe injury or death would have been probable, due to the loss of the entire assembly and the loss of all brake system hydraulic pressure, as the brake line was also severed.the oem nut holding the pinch weld to the upper control arm appears inadequately designed to withstand routine removal and retightening for service such as wheel alignment and suspension adjustments.there appears to be inadequate engineering thought into ensuring, at a minimum, a simple mechanism to securely fasten the nut (e.g., cotter pin, serrated flange, or other locking feature).this is a severe oversight given the potential danger associated with an upper control arm separation at speed.
I bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited edition. I bought 4 new tires the day of the purchase. The tpms-tire pressure monitoring system began failing a short time thereafter. The light in the dashboard flashed telling me my tire pressure was low on various tires. My wife was the sole driver of the jeep and she was constantly calling telling me a tire was flat. She worked evening hours. I took the jeep into les schwab for repair. They advised me the price for the sensors was more than the price of the vehicle. I was constantly putting air in the tires andhad to reset the vehicle service mileage.

The valve stemon a jeep 2006 tire sensor valvestem broke off causing the tire to prematurely lose air that can cause similar problem like with ford explorer tires blowing out.it can cause injury if person is in front of it to add air into tire. Dealer stated number of problems with the piece corroding at the cap area.dealer stated having problem with recent year vehicles as well.no recall but dealer stated over 10,000 units backordered due to same issue.

The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and the esp, abs, check engine, and traction control indicators illuminated on the instrument panel intermittently. The failure occurred on three different occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Was driving at 65mph and all of the sudden the dash lights up like a christmas tree. The fan for the a/c turned off. This kept happening for 10 miles and the traction control light stayed on after this happened. I had a friend scan the computer without turning the vehicle off. Found code b2100. This code is for the ignition switch malfunctioning. I did an internet check and a lot of people are having this same problem. Some changed the ignition switch and problem solved and others have not changed it. This sure sounds like a safety issue to me. I have read where the engine even shuts off.

My jeep grand cherokee laredo 2006 has all interior doors' handles braking to the point there are 2 doors already that we can not get out of the car without anyone opening it from the outside. This is a major problem for people with kids and for everyone. It is a safety issue. We are almost getting to the point of not being able to open the door from the inside. The interior door handles are made of some type of plastic that are braking by themselves. We need help immediately.
All 4 of my door handle panels are cracked and broken. The back doors r so bad you can't open them to get out. It's gradually happened overtime. We have only had our jeep for 1 year and 5 months. It gets worse every time we use it obviously and it's our family vehicle. Hope you can help. This shouldn't happen with a jeep vehicle. Very disappointed. Hope something can be fixed. Thanks.
This is regarding the p-41 recall notice for the 2006 jeep grand cherokee. I took the vehicle in feb. 2016 to the dealer to have the recall fixed and i find that the recall work has not been shown as complete on the safecar.gov website once i entered the vin number after being told the work was completed by the dealer. It states on the savecar.gov website that parts to fix the p-41 recall are not available and seems to have not been available for quite some time. I am wondering how do i know that the dealerreally dealt with the problem? they did something because my ignition is not working the same as it was prior to my taking it into the dealer. It is a hard turn of the key, to turn on and off the engine. It is very annoying and i often wonder if i will have trouble getting the key out of the ignition once the vehicle is off because the key acts as if stuck. The dealer tells me this will operate smoother in time. Despite this, i still wonder if the recall was actually fixed according to manufacturer specifications, especially since the work has not been shown as complete on the website and the part has not been available. I especially feel taken advantage of because this was my husband's vehicle and he died in june 2015. The dealer has always maintain this vehicle and there was an extended warranty, but it is no longer active because of the mileage. In addition to regular driving, i use the vehicle to tow a boat. I am concerned about the safety of the recall not only for myself but others drivers on the road.
I have been receiving recall notices from chrysler since september 2014.i did everything the recall notice prompted me to do until the parts came in.i called the dealership 3 times over the last year to see if the parts came in.i really did not have any issues until august 3,2015.i was driving down the street and my car just turned off.i had no power steering but i was able to pull over with no problem and there was no traffic around me.i new it was the ignition switch issue so i called the dealer and they told me the parts for that recall are not available so there is nothing that can be done.this is my only form of transportation and i am a nursing student and can not afford to buy a new car.i have continued to drive it and on 3 separate occasions it has turned off while i was driving. Luckily i have either been in slower traffic or sitting at a stop light.this week on 3 occasions i went to start my car and it would not start.i called aaa but by the time they arrived it started again.the jeep dealership told me i should not drive the car, i asked them if they could get a car for me to drive until the parts come in since this is a safety issue due to their recall and they said they could not do that.this is the only transportation i have.i go to school full time, am doing my clinicals and perceptorship at the hospital and work part time to pay my rent.i do not know what i am supposed to do if they do not have the parts to repair my car and this could be a life threatening problem.yesterday (9/23/2015) i stopped by baxter jeep in omaha, ne to see if they could get me in to check my car because it didn't start the first time i tried to start it that morning.they told me they couldn't get it in until october 7.i went to another auto repair servicer and they confirmed it was the ignition switch pertaining to the recall.
Vehicle shifted into gear to drive however upon parking will not shift into park will only operate in reverse neutral or drive no low gears as well
Sun roof started leaking water from rain on driver and down door frame and thru interior doam light. Caused very dangerous driving condition with the water pouring in on driver head and upper body. Everytime it rains water leaks very badly and floods driver floor board and effects electricial system. Jeep says not under warranty so wont fix. Researched this issue on the internet and 1000's of people are having same problem with jeeps that have sun roofs. Very dangerous while driving and it must be a defective problem since so many jeep owners are having this problem. Please help jeep should be responsible for fixing this critical issue.
The engine light seems to stay on and the tire light keeps blinking off and on i bought this vehicle 10 25 2019
Notified in september 2014 of faulty ignition switch problem; to this date october 2015; still no fix or parts availabe for potential safety hazard.
Interior plastic door parts are breaking due to cheap materials. Two of four handles are completely broken off and inoperable, creating a safety hazard as they can only be opened from the outside.
Takata recall i have been having problems where my jeep randomly shuts off in the middle of the road. I have usually been on city streets, some times i can be sitting in one spot, moving really slow, or even hit a bump and it shuts down.
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee with 4 bad door handles. Interior doors the plastic frame around the handles is broken on all 4 doors, door handles become flimsy with no support causing a severe safety issue when trying to open a door. In an accident, fire, anytime the door needs opened, there is a possibility for failure when the handle breaks. It had already failed to open once. I am afraid to have my grandchildren ride in my car because if they needed to get out in a hurry, they could be stuck or worst killed. Dealer says no recall and $800.00 a panel to replace. Ridiculous. There are complaints and blogs all over the net for the same thing. When is someone going to make. *ln
I bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee in 2009.shortly after i purchased the vehicle, i experienced engine power loss & power steering loss.i took my jeep into the dealership to have it looked at, but they could not find a problem at the time.this happened to me multiple times, yet the dealership never found the problem.in 2014, i received a recall notice from chrysler (recall p41) stating the some jeep grand cherokee vehicles may experience this issue.they advised it was a safety issue.per recall p41, "this increases the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal airbags."i was pregnant at the time so i called chrysler's group recall assistance center at 1-800-853-1403, and was advised they do not have the parts available to fix the problem.i told them i was concerned for my safety and the safety of my unborn child, especially since this issue has happened multiple times to my vehicle already.i called chrysler back recently and told them it happened again to me, while i had my husband and newborn in the car.i was driving on the parkway & my engine just shut off!i was scared to death!i asked chrysler for a rental vehicle to use until the parts are available.they said they do not offer that.so i am supposed to keep driving this "death trap?"i do not feel safe driving this jeep, but don't have the money to buy another car now.plus, i have a newborn baby to think about.i feel they should offer rental vehicles to people who are experiencing this issue.i told them if this happens to me & i get in an accident, i will be suing them since they knew about this and was unwilling to help me.
All four inside door handles shattered. Makes emergency existing very difficult.
2006 jeep grand cherokee limited has a paint problem.consumer states that the dealership misrepresented and unreported information about the problem of etching and peeling paint and repainting of the vehicle. *njthe consumer also discovered extensive rust under the front seats and on the hinges, he believed there was possible moisture problem.
My husband went to exit the vehicl and the passenger door handle broke. We are now not able to open the door from the inside or the outside because of this.very cheaply made and falling apart prior to completely breaking off. Door is now unusable until i pay a few hundred dollars to have repaired!!this could be extremely dangerous in the event of an accident!!it is only a matter of time before the drivers side does the same as the interior plastics of the actual handle are already completely broken out. The pieces literally crack and fall out! the only fix at the dealer is to replace the entire door panel and a few hundred dollars each. My car is no longer under warranty so now this is an out of pocket expense since chrysler decided to use cheap and unreliable parts.the door handle piece is replaceable from an auto parts store. They are $140.00 each plus labor for someone to do the work.this needs to be a recall!! in doing research there are hundreds of people this is happening to!!!
Door panel on drivers side broken door handle not working. Making emergency evacuation impossible poses a severe safety hazard
2006 "laredo 4wd" series just like all 2005-2010 regular jeep cherokee series has 1000's of people complaining on major safety issues with inner section of all 4 doors + how cheap this terrible plastic components on all (4) door handles and requires complete inner door panels @ $500 each (not including labor). Cheap plastic door panel material is honestly able to be snapped with fingers. See car complaints evidence #1 -https://www.carcomplaints.com/jeep/grand_cherokee/2005/accessories-interior/door_handles_have_broken_from_interior_door_panels.shtml+ youtube evidence #2 "jeep grand cherokee interior door handle replacement" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxexv7wac_y
Interior door handles sheared off. Completely cracked off and disintegrated like there was never a door handle installed. It first started with the right rear passenger door handle and progressively continued with the left interior door handle, then the front passenger interior door handle. The only interior door handle that is still intact is the front driver's side. I believe this is a major safety concern in the sense that in the event of a crash or evacuation the passengers have no way to evacuate the vehicle unless opened from the outside. This safety hazard has yet to be recognized by jeep as other owners have complained as well. There are several blogs posted online and it is very expensive to replace. I am driving an unsafe vehicle at this point and wish jeep would action this safety-related concern as soon as possible.
All four interior door handles are breaking.the rear passenger handle has completely crumbled and will not open the door causing concern about a quick exit during an emergency.
Cause of failure: interior door handle has stress cracked and is broken. There are no signs of abuse, impact damage or after market modifications. **note that the interior door handle is serviceable only as an interior door panel assembly**correction: installed replacement interior door handle assembly to correct concern.this problem started with the driver's side interior door handle. The plastic cup behind the door handle cracked and eventually shattered leaving shards behind that cut my hand when i opened the door. The remaining three door handles have all done the same thing. This is a safety issue. Exiting the jeep grand cherokee in an emergency situation with the door handles not working properly would be delayed, or in the case of a child, impossible.
I was reversing and came to a complete stop to shift into drive, when i shifted into drive and let my foot off the brake, it killed the engine and completely shut it off.all electronics remained on.i then reapplied my foot on the brake and shifted into park and started the engine up again, shifted into drive and was able to drive.this continues to happen from time to time and not every time and no one can figure out the issue.
When driver or parked and idling the dash, indicator lights, headlights, tail lights, speedometer completely lose power. This has happened while driving in low light conditions causing a very serious hazard.
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
When driving all the dashboard warning light come on (flicker) and interior dome lights go dark. The heater dies and the gauges do not work (shows 0 rpm and gas tank as empty). I am unable to even read my speed at what i am driving.it happens numerous times there is no certain times when it happens, i can be at a complete stop, in park , or driving at any rate of speed.the warning light flash anywhere for 1 to 30 times.i can still drive but have no power for anywhere from a sec to 5 seconds.this has been going on for over a year.i went at the longest of 3 months with out it occurring.now in the past month it is doing it every time i start the car and continues until i reach my destination.i have taken it to shop to be diagnosed and they say it is due to the ignition switch recall. Then they proceed to tell that the parts with chrysler are not available and they are unable to fix this problem.i am very upset, i am very scared to drive my vehicle.i feel this is a safety issue and should be fixed asap.i hope this does not cause an accident when i or anyone else could possibly be harmed.
Ignition key failure and electrical issues with locks. Vehicle will not start at frequent and in frequent times. Vehicle seems to think that there is a key in the ignition. Dealer has looked at and replaced on previous recall. Problem is not fixed and vehicle will leave you stranded. Took back to dealer and they can't find issue! vehicle was stopped and stationary. Does not start when key is inserted and vehicle is parked.
All the lights in the interior speedometer panel,all warning lights ect... Flash and the air conditioning goes off.
Interior door latch mechanisms are breaking making it impossible to open doors from inside.
Three of the four (the 4th is shattered) door handles in my jeep are cracked, ready to break anytime. The passenger side one is completely cracked and broken hanging on by a thread. I'm afraid soon i'm going to have to roll down the window just to get out of the jeep. This is a safety hazard, i can only hope i'm not involved in an accident and that i won't be able to open the door due to this malfunction. I have noticed during my searches that there are hundreds of complaints with this issue, how can it be that there is no recall yet? please hear this outcry, i cannot afford to pay $500-$700 per door to get it fixed. I feel cheated by jeep/chrysler they must be held liable for this issue, we the customers have paid a lot of money for our vehicle. Please help!
While pulling out of my driveway all my dash lights came on then everything went black.my speedometer and tachometer both dropped to 0 and my gas gauge dropped to empty.the vehicle continued to run and i did not lose any power butthe all the dash lights continue to go off and on and the gauges will drop to 0 or empty while the car is in motion.
Seat belt latch on passenger front will not latch without pushing the red button in and will not turn off red indicator light on dash.all the interior door latch handles are breaking or are already broken making it nearly impossible to open door from inside. Both would be dangerous in an accident situation.
I had an ignition recall performed, ever since my key turns real hard and my lights flash and i loose all the power on the dash, lights blinkers, gas everything. Sometimes the jeep wont start and now the key wont turn i've complained aot and had sensors replaced and it's still the same wayit's scary when your on the highway and all the electric is gone a d then comes back on, even if i hit a bump it goes out
Was notified of a safety recall involving a faulty ignition. When i called the dealer was told the part was not yet available. Two years later the part is still not available. I have contacted several local dealers and they say they can't help me. Please help!
Interior door handle (rear passenger) broke while child was opening door to exit the vehicle. Front handles are showing cracking as well.rear seat passenger is unable to open door and must be let out from the external handle. This is a safety issue and could cause passenger to become trapped during an accident.
I had recall p41 updated to my 2006 jeep grand cherokee. After the recall update i was instructed by the dealership, i would need to push and turn the key to start/stop the ignition. This upgraded function has always been hard to get the key to turn. Last week, while vehicle was parked at work 02jul19, it took me over 20 min. To get the key to turn by pushing and turning, to start the engine. The safety recall p41 is ineffective or installed incorrectly. My vehicle key turned fine before the recall and has not worked well since.
When driving my transmission would be stuck in a gear sometimes and other times it would shift to neutral while on city roads and highways. This would happen mostly when accelerating when the automatic transmission had to shift to the next gear. It wouldn't or would go to neutral so i had to shift the transmission back and forth from neutral to drive to catch a gear. I read about a recall back in 2013 but chrysler said it did not apply to my vehicle so i paid to get the problem fixed. Since chrysler is currently having recall problems i'm curious to find out if this was something that wasn't reported.
2006 jeep has 2 current recalls. I have called 3 different dealerships in my area and so far none is willing to repair the recalls with in a 2 week period. One dealership has failed to return my phone call twice the other two put repairs out for three weeks. I have notified the manufacture with the same complaint.
Seat belt don't retract,heater only runs on high,headlights are not clear and dim.
I was notified nov 2014 that my ignition switch was defective. I received 3 subsequent notices but could not get the dealership to respond to my requests for service. Finally in feb 2016 the dealership advised that they had the parts and would do the work.originally we had 3 working ignition keys.after the recall work was complete we only had 1 usable key. When we went back to the dealership with the other 2 keys they charged $109.95 to program a "manual key" .i was stuck with the bill and a second electronic key that still doesn't work.they said i would have to buy another electronic key (one with panic button, door open/ lock and trunk lock).this replacement would run between $200 - $400.
Car turns itself off when ideling at traffic lights, stop signs, sitting in traffic, or fast stop.no error messages on dashboard.can be dangerous if on highway and have sudden stop.will not have steering or brakes.when you come to a stop it shuts down.starts back up no problem and it runs good otherwise.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.while driving 50 mph, the vehicle began making grinding noises.the vehicle came to a sudden stop, but the engine was still running.the contact drove to a local dealer.the vehicle is currently in the repair shop and the contact is waiting to find out the cause of the failure.the current and failure mileages were 16,000.updated 10/31/07.
On february 19, 2014 i took my jeep in to have the n23 recall (reprogram final drive control module) and at this time i had 108,960 miles on my jeep.i reviewed the jeep forums that i belong to and found that many are having problems with 4lo with it no longer working after the n23 recall.i then checked my jeeps 4lo after reading this and my 4lo is also no longer working after having the recall performed (109,000 miles).i called the dealership who said that i would have to pay to have a diagnostic done with no guarantee that it is related to the n23 recall.
Interior door handle drivers side door does not open door. The dealer tells me the whole door panel has to be replaced. Cost is $700 just for the panel. This is a problem that seems to happen to a lot of jeep owners.
All 4 interior door handles have cracked and broken the interior component (involving the handle mechanism). The rr handle is unusable and will need to be replaced immediately.the addition interior handles are cracked but remain usable at this time but will soon fail.the design of this model as well as similar jeep models is a common failure.this can be considered a potential safety failure if the handle completely fails and passengers unable to open the door resulting in injury or even death during an accident.
I've read sever complaints and noticed that my jeep is doing the same thing. However, mine has 195000 miles a lot of the others i've read about complain about the exact same issue, i tookmy jeep to national jeep chrysler and dodge lot they checked it over and saidthey don't think it's the tranny it clunks when slowing down to 15 mph and 5 mph they also changing the tranny didn't help it. I just purchased this jeep last week.
Broken interior door handles- they are chipping off around the handle causing the handles to fall inside the door and are unable to open the doors. On the drivers door, the plastic supporting the interior door handle has broken leaving the handle unmounted. It is not covered under warranty and they are approximately 400.00 to 500.00 a panel and every one of the handles in my vehicle are like this. This is an obvious safety hazard.i contacted jeep at 1-800-521-9922 and filed a case and they have declined to help me in any way stating it is wear and tear. I have owned may vehicles and never have i ever had a problem with any other of the handles on my vehicles. I have a 1988 ford truck that the door handles work fine and are not broken. This is an obvious defect on these vehicles and a recall should be done...especially since it is not just one door handle it is all of them. Thanks for your help.
The dash is flashing telling me my driver door is open when clearly it's closed, which then leads to theinterior lights to come on or stay on even after placing the switchin the off position.also with said problem my doors won't lock. This also happens when said vehicle isn't running .

Chrysler has issued and official recall #p41, in june 2014. Till now, 15 month later, the corrective parts (ignition switch) to substitute the defective one were not developed. What is chrysler waiting, someone to die ? what the vehicle owners should do, just keep on driving the risky vheicles untill get seriously injured or even dead ? no oneis checking what chrysler is doing (or not doing !!!) ? no one makes them solve the problem ?regards[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Car will pop out of gear and into neutral while driving at speeds under 60mph. Car has been owned by me since it had 9000 miles and has been serviced regularly and is a low mileage car. Desintegrating door panels, issues with transmission that could cause loss of control in traffic, what next. Chrysler maintains that there are no recalls for these known safety hazards.

While i was driving in my local suburban neighborhood, after driving about 6 miles, my vehicle shuttered and the dashboard lights flicked on and off a few times and started beeping. I got really scared so i pulled over, turned the car on and off again, and that is when i noticed the check engine light was now on. I immedietely took it to my trustworthy mehanic and that it when he told me the code reader was giving an error code of u1411 ignition switch. I did my own research and discovered that my vehicle fits the description (year/make/model) of a recall that was done on jeeps 2006-2007 for faulty ignition switches.
While driving a rented 2006 jeep grand cherokee on an interstate highway, the engine stopped running.i was able to steer the vehicle to the shoulder and restart the engine.i drove cautiously without further incidents.on the return trip on a state highway, the engine unexpectedly stopped.again, i safely steered the vehicle to the shoulder and restarted the engine.this time, i realized that moving my right leg while driving, my right knee had hit the key and moved it to the "off" position.both incidents did not result in an accident since the roadway was empty of other vehicles.
While in motion the motor randomly jerked hard and made a very loud clinck, clinck noise
Traction control kicks on for 5-30 seconds at various speeds and road conditions. It has come on going 80mph, come on from a stop, going 30 mph on a city street. Not sure if that is why brakes exploded and broke apart. All tires same size.
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 donā€™t understand why i take my time stepping on gaseventually drivers start passing me. Within a minute or 2 then itā€™s ok, i can step on it.bought car during winter in cold weather no problem itā€™s great. Summer came and started noticing the laziness and hesitancy. On highway sometimes have issues doesnā€™t go beyond 40
Interior door opening handles breaking/failing: 1 rear door totally inoperable. ***this is a dangerous safety issue ' if handles break or are inoperable in certain emergency situations, passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle, causing serious injury or death!*** manufacturer charge to replace/repair handles is prohibitively expensive: in my case, the cost of eight (8) monthly car payments! manufacturer safety recall warranted!'
The local dealer says chrysler corporation has not made the replacement part available for the ignition switch.i have received two safety recall notices in the past year and chrysler is apparently still not supplying dealers with the required parts.
Door handle cups broken causing difficulty opening door because handle becomes so loose it looks like it's going to fall out. See a lot of these complaints and it's definitely a safety issue.all 4 of my handles broken!
There has been no accident.i want to report the failure of a dealer ship to respond to my request to honor a safety recall,i have contacted them several times, the last time 12-10-2013, and have been told they will contact me.i have heard nothing.

Safety risk:this may result in loss of engine power, power steering, and braking assist increasing the risk of a crash and disabling one or more of the vehicles safety features including the frontal airbags. Remedy:chrysler intends to repair vehicles free of charge (parts and labor). However, the part required to provide a permanent remedy for this condition is currently not available. Chrysler is making every effort to provide the part as quickly as possible. As you can see from the recall above, this is serious and puts the driver, who happens to be our daughter, at high risk of a crash. My husband and our daughter took this jeep too a local dealership today to have them address the recall and repair it, only to be told that chrysler has not provided the parts yet. This recall was put in place 9 months ago, chrysler either needs to provide a permanent remedy right now or buy all of the affected vehicles back from the owners at blue book price/value.
All four of the interior door handle plastic parts (i believe they are called cups) have broken. This has caused the handles themselves to become loose and unstable. The handle on one of the doors (right rear door) has also now broken, causing that door to be unusable from the inside, which has created a safety issue in case of an emergency or accident. Upon investigating this issue via internet search, i have come to understand that this is an ongoing issue with many jeeps manufactured between 2005-2010. The safety issues are urgent and need to be addressed by jeep immediately.
Steering /electrical it start to malfunction the gauges act up steering seems to lock ,i pulled over on road sat incar for twenty minutes ,disconnected battery /reconnected then started car to get to destination ,so i only use vehicle for localuse ,worried about safety factors on my car
I waited a long time to receive the recall notice from jeep and received it late in 2015.i called my local dealership, world jeep chrysler dodge ram in shrewsbury njin october and then again november 11, 2016.both times i was told my name would go on a list and i would be called to have the new ignition installed on my vehicle asap.it is not february 11, 2016 and my jeep has not been repaired and the dealership has not called me.i fear for the safety of myself and my 2 children every time i drive my car.
Speed control acceleration.driving on interstate returning from vacation, cruise was set at 70mph.when approaching a slower vehicle, cruise was deactivated and reactivated when pass was completed.when reactivated the cruise controlwould not stop accelerating.this has happened 3 years ago and ever since i test the cruise control the problem of out of control acceleration persists.the out of control acceleration can be stopped by stepping on the brakes or manually turning off the cruise control.i had a mechanic look at it and they cannot determine what the cause is.i cannot even disable the cruise control without effecting other electronics.i am afraid to allow anyone else to drive this vehicle in the event they would unknowing use the cruise control and get into a serious accident.
I was driving my 2006 jeep grand cherokee and set cruise control. As soon as i did the accelerator hit the floorand i couldn't get it to stop unless i hit the cancel button. Now the cruise control doesn't work. Its shorting out all my other controllers and killing my battery.

Prior to the incident, my jeep felt as if it were having trouble switching between gears.it felt jerky, if you will.while traveling along i-95 on the east coast of florida, my jeep (twice) slipped gear and appeared to have gone into neutral.if you know the area, it's not the ideal place for this to happen.since returning to the west coast of florida, it has happened once.i've taken toa shop for a tune-up and to check on that problem.needless to say, the 'fix' did not fix it and i'm still experiencing jerky shifts and gear failure.i've read a number of similar complaints regarding the same type of incidents on the nhtsa website, but have not located a fix for the problem.without hesitation, i'll say i'm terrified.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the contact stated that the entire instrument panel illuminated and the speed odometer decreased. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was unknown. The vin was not available.
Incident happened multiple times. Engine, shut down briefly. When i stepped on brake it vibrated severely. The instrument panel lit up, was unable to steer. Received notice from nhtsa tried to have fixed several timesand part is still unavailable. It is happening more often and i am afraid to drive it. Very disappointed. I believe jeep should furnish me with a safe vehicle.
I was driving along and decided to turn on the cruise control.when i did the jeep accelerated out of control and i was going 75.the gas pedal went down to the floor. It would not turn off using the off button on the steering wheel.i slammed on the brakes and the cruise control turned off. At that time the gas pedal popped back up. Over the next week, i attempted to use my cruise control several times, and each time the vehicle speed excelled on its own to dangerous speeds, and the pedal went down to the floor.i have asked a couple of mechanics to look at it and they don't know what is wrong, but the same thing happened to them.they said that this could cause an accident and i had them disconnect the cruise control.i would like it fixed, but no seems to know the problem.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the vehicle was operating as designed. However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic, who confirmed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. In addition, the contact stated that the engine revved without depressing the accelerator pedal and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an inspection station. The technician diagnosed the vehicle, but failed to specify the repairs that were made. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system); however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,000.
The check engine light would come on and the car would jerk at high speeds on the freeway, it even powered down completely on the freeway after reaching a high of 65pmh. The car would make strange grinding noises and lose power steering also. The vehicle was brought to the jeep dealership and diagnosed finally after 2 visits as a faultyshifter module/control module or the cars "computer".
I just recently purchased this 2006 jeep grand cherokee 5.7 hemi with approx. 118,000 miles. Driving about 10mph in a parking lot, i stepped on the brake for a stop sign. When i went to go i got across the intersection then the vehicle engine revved up and i lost all propulsion power.i had roll to a stop, turn the vehicle off and then start up again to get things working correctly while in drive.it has happened again 2 other times at various speeds.very dangerous when you lose your propulsion.
Stopped for gas. Started engine and there was great and unexpected acceleration. Had to maneuver to reach the exit area---kept my foot on the brake and went forward with the engine straining, put it in reverse, same thing.couldn't 'de-accelerate'.moved forward a bit and shut the engine off.if i was not quickly in control of that vehicle there would have been fatalitieswrote chrysler and received a response that there were no recalls on this model.took it to the local dealer service department.he put it 'on the computer' and by the end of the day found the problem.he discovered a service bulletin dated may 13, 2006 which applied to grand cherokees equipped with the 5.7l engine.it described the problem and the solution.this warranted a recall.why couldn't the owners (lessees in this case) be notified to bring their vehicle in to correct a defective part of the vehicle computer (p2112).what a simple solution for a dangerous defect!
2005 grand cherokee laredo. 8 pm. Turning right into my driveway, foot on brake, sudden unintended acceleration occurred, car raced down steep driveway, roaring, i turned it uphill into trees, and it was stopped by trees. Still revving loudly until key turned off. Air bags did not deploy. Front end pretty smashed up.

My car accelerates after releasing the brake and sometimes it switches into neutral and i'm unable to accelerate.this happens when im driving straight or making a turn.my car also shuts completely off while im in the middle of driving.the lights flash on the dashboard and then they all come back on
While driving my 2006 grand cherokee the vehicle will switch into neutral on it's own.this has occurred while stopped at lights, while driving at 70 mph, so on and so forth.the check engine light reads "shift control module" and this has been replaced twice and has not been cheap.when this occurs, the dash board lights light up around all gears (park, reverse, neutral, and drive.)i have had to pull off onto the side of the road and turn off my vehicle and restart it before it would switch back into the correct gear.i am wondering if the new safety recall 13v175000 is covering this issue.as i read, it seems my vehicle is not the only one with this problem.my next step was to replace the entire transmission as the person working on the vehicle did not know what else to suggest.this is very dangerous, especially with having to share this vehicle with a teenage son.

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.
While driving my vehicle suddenly shifted gears and coasted as if it were in neutral while rpms shot up to 3,000. It then suddenly lunged forward and picked up speed. The check engine light came on. After a day or so, the light would go off. Within the time frame of approx 3 weeks, this had occurred at least 3 times. It was very scary to have it change gears and not be able to maintain speed and suddenly speed up again while traveling with vehicles in front of me and behind me. You essentially have no control of the vehicle in that moment, nor do you have any warning that it is about to happen. Drivers around you also have no warning that your car will suddenly slow down or lunge forward. Took it to the dealership to be looked at. Was told that it was my electronic shifter module and had it replaced. Although i have a power train warranty, it was not covered and had to pay over $900. Did research online and came across numerous others with the same issue. I feel that if this critical part fails on so many vehicles it should be made a recall. When this part fails, it has the potential to cause many accidents.
I bought the jeep in feb. 2013 and shortly thereafter, while driving on the interstate, the car just shut itself off and everything went dead. This has happened about 2 dozen times since, sometimes going fast and sometimes going slow or pulling into an intersection. There doesn't seem to be a factor that causes it to happen and the mechanic cannot find anything wrong but it is very dangerous.
My daughter was home this weekend and said her cruise control was messed up. We took a ride and when she 'set' the cruise the accelerator went to the floor and stayed there till we increased speed by at least 15 mph. I thought maybe she was doing something wrong in setting the system. Not the case. The cruise is no longer usable and down right dangerous. It sounds like the making of another toyota acceleration problem. I would hope that enough people bring the problem to the forefront so something gets done to repair this problem.

For a few months now & without warning: the dashboard lights, tachometers, heater, and headlights flicker on/off, then go completely off. Then if applying the brakes, there is a ferocious grinding noise and loss of steering. Engine seems to slow down or not want to shift to next gear while driving. All this happens when there is flickering. Seems to happen at random but getting worse. Check engine light stays on for a day then disappears. I have video recording of these incidents. Vehicle has been checked but "nothing reports" so i am told it cannot be repaired.
When cruise control is set, the truck begins to accelerate rapidly, hitting over 4,000 rpm's.decelerate and cancel does not work, i have to use the brake pedal to disengage the cruise control.when this happened once in the past, i thought it was something i did or a fluke.then it happened a second time and beginning 6/6/10, i discovered it now does it every time and i am no longer using the cruise control.
While turning right into a parking lot at low speed, my knee brushed the key chain/key and ignition turned off while still in drive.has happened once more in the last month in a similar circumstance, both luckily at low speed in empty parking lots. Had to shift to park and restart engine to regain power/control.
While traveling at highway speeds (55mph), engaged cruise control and the vehicle accelerated up to 85 mph.had to hit brake to disengage cruise control.tried to use it again and the vehicle again went to 85.after 4 or 5 attempts, the cruise control stopped working completely and still does not work to date.
I was driving east on the pennsylvania turnpike from pittsburgh, pa to york, pa with my wife and 1 year old daughter on the friday of memorial day weekend. I was driving between 70-75 mph in the left hand lane when i noticed i had lost acceleration, power steering, and all of my interior lights had turned off. The entire vehicle had shut off. This easily could have caused a horrific accident as there was a ton of traffic behind me and on the road. Fortunately, i was going down a hill and i was able to maintain speed for enough time to safelydrift my car into the right lane and eventually over to the side of the road. Once pulled over, i had difficulty shifting my vehicle into park and turning off the ignition. After a few minutes of attempting to shut it off, i was able to get the key out of the ignition. I waited about 5 or so minutes and was able to start the vehicle without a problem. I stayed in the right hand lane the rest of the trip and eventually made it to my destination safely. When i got home, i took the vehicle to three rivers chrysler jeep and dodge in pittsburgh, pa. .i was told i needed to replace the ignition switch and the "wire control module". With all of the recalls in the news regarding chrysler and gm ignition switches, i would not be surprised if this was a defect in jeep as well. The experience i had was very frightening and i hope others do not have the same problems.
Speed control accelerates out of control when set. Happens consistently when cruise is turned on and set button is pressed.the engine will rev to 6000 rpm +.must depress brake or turn off cruise switch in order to stop the acceleration.started happening while traveling on an interstate highway and speed control was set to posted speed.vehicle suddenly accelerated on open stretch of highway and could only be slowed down by turning off the speed control.this could have a disaster if it happened in heavier traffic.
While driving and speeding up to switch lanes, the accelerator pedal was floored alone and the car took off speeding. I attempted to tap on the accelerator pedal but that did not work so i then pumped the brakes a few times before it slowed down. I was driving about 25 mph before attempting to switch lanes and when the pedal got stuck the speed went up to 60 mph.
While cruising down the highway with cruise control on, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. Had to hit the brake to disengage. Numerous times since then, when cruise is switched to "on", acceleration happens and i need to hit the brake.
The contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee.while driving approximately 60 mph with the cruise control set the vehicle accelerated from 60 to 80 mph.he stated that the rmps increasedfrom 2,000 to 4,000.

Was going down interstate 40 coming from little rock ark. Jeep started to slow down pressed on gas would not speed up. There are so many eighteen wheelers on that interstate. I managed to pull over. Started to shifted from park to drive and drive kicked in. I had two children in the jeep with me .i can not even think about what might have happen if one of those trucks had hit me in the rear. This is a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. I have looked on line for recall there was a recall on the 2008 models . The transmission control module . I have been told that is the problem with my jeep.when i made in home this happened again coming down my street in halls tn. Got to my drive stop pulling. Put in park back to drive made in driveway. I have seen on line this is a problem with lots of jeeps not only mine. Please fix this problem before someone get hurt or dies. What does it take!!!!!!! help!
Vehicle since 2011 hesitates at acceleration. Transmission does not engage so the engine rpms are up to 3.5 before it automatic lay shifts to the next gear. This happens a daily now and getting worse. Gears seems to automatically into neutral then hangs there while trying to excel. I have called chrysler last year and recently to check for recalls and online. I am told that there is arecall n23 on 4 wheel drive in my make,model and year but my vehicle is a 2 wheel drive so this n23 does not apply. Although it is the same problem as this recall. It is very dangerous at a traffic light or pulling out of an area and you accel but go nowhere. I narrowly escaped being rear ended several times. There is also a problem with my headlights. After i purchased my vehicle in2006 i took into my local dealership x 2 for them to make sure my headlights are properly lined up. I can not see the roads at dark, i have had to drive with my brights on for years. I also see that the nada has a recall on the reflectors in the headlamps! but chrysler does not recognize that recall in my vehicle either. I would like for the transmission recall to be recognized because it is not just for a 4wd , but 2wd also.
My vehicle started originally slowing down like it slipped out of gear. I was told i needed a new transmission but when i replaced it i still had the same exact problem with the vehicle staying in limp mode and check engine light on, rpm running high and not going into overdrive. The transmission is not shifting correctly after spending over $1500.00 on it. From my research i have arrived at the esm to be causing the problem with the vehicle not indicating what gear for the transmission to shift into. I have called the jeep corporate office and even though they know that the transmission needed a repair when i first bought it with 17,000 miles on it they still did not feel they were responsible for my transmission problems. To me that are just avoiding the fact that this is a manufacture issue with either poor design, construction or quality of parts. I had a 1994 amigo that i put 280,000 miles on and i never once had any type of transmission issue. This is a 2006 vehicle this is the poorest experience i have ever had with a vehicle.
Random incidents while driving the dashboard will light up with all indicators and gauges go to zero value. I recorded on my cell phone one incident. I had one case that jeep stalled at same time of incident, and i was able to coast to side of road, shut engine off and restart. I discussed this with local dealer and they could not obtain any error code. I called chrysler on one incident and they said they had no known problems reported on my vehicle. Dealer said to return next time it happens but i am always not in a convenient place and the dashboard will return to normal status after some time while driving.
On multiple occasions, the instrument panel has stopped working completely. The lighting in both in the interior of the vehicle as well as the exterior flashes and sometimes goes out completely. Multiple dealers have not been able to find a problem. It has caused near crashes before with the distraction of driving at night. The cruise control also accelerates without any warning while this occurs and the cruise must be reset by turning the car off and back on. This too has caused some near crashes as the car accelerates due to the faulty cruise control.
An employee of mine at my full service carwash got into a jeep grand cherokee and after she started it and put it in gear the vehicle took off and collided with another customer vehicle.
While driving on a highway, i noticed my car slowed down and even after applying the gas pedal, it didn't help. After pressing the brakes and pushing the gas pedal again, then it started accelerating. The engine light would blink and lately it stays on. The check engine light stays on and off but once i noticed that when i started the car again, the check engine light was off but i lost one front headlight. I was told by the dealership that i needed to replace a spark plug which cost me almost 300.00. Now the check engine light is on again and i suspect as other owners have shared it in the forum that it's the ignition switch that's faulty. I just wish nhtsa would do something about this asap. The letter came the mail stating there is a recall on my car but nothing is being done to correct the problem. Are you waiting for severe accidents to happen before you really force jeep to correct this issue??? do people have to lose their lives before you act on this problem?
I was exiting a freeway off ramp and had my foot lightly on the accelerator to keep themomentum 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 ofthe 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 notduplicate the problem theyw 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.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 and fix it!
I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. I was stopped at a stop light, with my foot firmly on the brake. I am sure of this detail because if the brake is not firmly pressed, my car shakes as though it will turn off. So as i am sitting at the light, my car accelerated and moved about 6 inches. Luckily i was not too close to the car in front of me, but any closer and i would have rear ended the car. I called my local jeep/dodge dealer to ask of there were any recalls or any thing i should know regarding my vehicle and this situation. The employee, completely rude, asked me if i was talking to someone in my car and moved my foot of the pedal. He basically told me i was distracted, and since it was" 3 p.m. On a friday afternoon", i should wait and see if it happens again, then i could bring it in if i wanted to. I have 4 small children and there are millions of innocent children on the road everyday. You would think that this would be a more serious warning...especially given the situation with toyota.

The electric sunroof developed a small leak when it rained. One day my wife took the jeep to the car wash and the inside was soaked. The electrical system in the doors was wet and also in the roof. The sunroof was defective in some way causing the leaking into the vehicle and the electrical system.
Sun roof started leaking water from rain on driver and down door frame and thru interior doam light. Caused very dangerous driving condition with the water pouring in on driver head and upper body. Everytime it rains water leaks very badly and floods driver floor board and effects electricial system. Jeep says not under warranty so wont fix. Researched this issue on the internet and 1000's of people are having same problem with jeeps that have sun roofs. Very dangerous while driving and it must be a defective problem since so many jeep owners are having this problem. Please help jeep should be responsible for fixing this critical issue.

Power window breaks constantly;. 400$ to repair.the plastic piece where the cable is attached cracks and the whole mechanism needs to be replaced because of a .50$ piece that could be made of metal.
I have had to replace the window regulator in my rr window three times so far and the lr one just broke. Jeep is saying it isn't under recall and offer no help to replace it. The fee to replace the crappy plastic piece is $50 if i manage to rip apart my car door or $185 if jeep does it.i know i'm not alone since i've looked this particular item and model up several times. Here is a forum of other peeved jeep owners: http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2009/02/jeep-liberty-power-window-problems-diy-tips/.
The window regulators need to be recalls. The first one to go was the drivers window regulator. Cost over $500.00 with parts and labor. The plastic part in the regulator broke and the window went down in the door. My husband was able to order the part on line for $200 and fix it himself. The second window regulator to go was the drivers rear passenger window. As i was driving the window kept inching down. Had to stop 3 times on the way home to pull the window up so it wouldn't fall into the door,taped it up till i got home. Again the window regulator something broke inside the part. Ordered another regulator on line and had to have my husband fit it. If you go to carcomplains.com you will see many of the same complaints. This part should be recalled.

Received 'transmission over temp' message on dashboard after about 10 miles of driving in the morning. When the car has been in the heat for a while, the message could appear before 10 miles (sometimes immediately). The fan turns on and there is a definite lag in acceleration. Along with this error, i also get the 'service, tire pressure system' message consistently. I've visited my mechanic with both issues and they thought it was fixed by the new battery, but they only drove the car for 8 miles to attempt getting the transmission hot, nor did they probably hit a bump/pothole to trigger the tire pressure system. They're puzzled as to why those messages are popping up because they don't see any further issues with the car.
I bought a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited edition. I bought 4 new tires the day of the purchase. The tpms-tire pressure monitoring system began failing a short time thereafter. The light in the dashboard flashed telling me my tire pressure was low on various tires. My wife was the sole driver of the jeep and she was constantly calling telling me a tire was flat. She worked evening hours. I took the jeep into les schwab for repair. They advised me the price for the sensors was more than the price of the vehicle. I was constantly putting air in the tires andhad to reset the vehicle service mileage.
I have did a tune up and cleaned the oil my check engine light is still on and check gas cap won't go away after numerous times of changing it my wheels and struts are damaged
