2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems

On 08/01/ 19 took my Jeep in to have brakes fixed at big o tires they changed front and back pads and rotors. After that they found the Master Cylinder to be defective and replaced that also. I have the bill to show this work. In 2022 my Check Brake light would stay on all the time, my brakes were good to me. Big O’s had burned down the year before, I live within 2 streets of their business, their fire was in my front window! Odometer : Readings on Dates: 1) 102,335 : Original date of Brake work! 2) 107,000 : day when brought in to fix light on, 9/29/22. Day before on the phone, the man who answered the phone said I would never fail inspection because of brake light on, only check engine light!! 3) 107,453 : the Gentleman on 9/29/2022 said he had changed the Master Cylinder again, while explaining that some master cylinders had sensors on the inside and other could be replaced. On the 9/29/22 got no paperwork, was there all day! 4) 4 pm: today called the store, have at the moment a 2/21/23 for 8 am, I called to give them the current odometer reading, the gentleman that answered the phone, Was well aware of me and said, I would be be getting a call from the GM.

The Vehicle well completely stop with no indication of stopping the engine just turns off power steering is gone power brakes are gone there’s nothing

When driving the truck will randomly shut off or stall no matter the speed or if its parked. replaced the crankshaft and cam shaft position sensor and still has the same issue. These vehicles must have a bad ECM unit on them or something.

DISCOVERED THAT ALL WINDOWS AND SIDE MIRRORS WERE NO LONGER OPERARABLE FROM WITHIN VECHICLE PANEL ON DRIVER SIDE. UNABLE TO LOCK THE VECHICLE FROM WITHIN, AS WELL. UNABLE TO LOCK THE VECHICLE WITH KEY CONTROL FROM OUTSIDE, ONLY MANUALLY, THOUGH THE KEY CONTROL CAN STILL LOCK ALL OTHER DOORS, INCLUDING THE REAR GATE. FIRESTONE STATED THAT ONLY A JEEP DEALER CAN REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I AM THE ONLY OWNER, I HAVE TAKEN IT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO CHANGE THE COMPLETE REAR LAMPS (THEY HAVE ONLY CHANGED THE BULBS ONCE) IN DEALER THEY TELL ME THAT HAS NOTHING THAT I MUST CHANGE THE (TAILLAMPS ASSY), PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP, MY CHEROKEE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARKED IN MY CLOSED GARAGE, IT NEVER STAYS ON THE STREET

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GIVES A CODE ( SIGNAL LOSS FROM CPS AND CKPS) CAN'T ACCELERATE WITHOUT BACKFIRE AND MISSING. SOMETIMES WHEN CROSSING R/R TRACKS THE ENGINE WILL DIE IT STARTS BACK UP AFTER YOU WIGGLE THE 3 MAIN CONNECTORS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR DOORS DID NOT UNLOCK FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN.

WITHOUT WARNING MY JEEPS ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS WHILE STOPPED OR DRIVING IT WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. WHEN IT HAS SHUT OFF IT WILL STILL TURN OVER AND I HAVE POWER TO EVERYTHING I NEED BUT IT WILL NOT FIRE UP. THIS HAPPENED FIRST ON A SUNNY MORNING DRIVING IN TOWN. I TOWED IT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND COULD NOT GET ANY CODES. IT FIRED UP AND I THOUGHT IT WAS FINE SO I KEPT DRIVING IT. AT THIS POINT ABOUT TEN MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WHILE CRUISING ALONG A BUSY ROAD IT SHUT OFF, I HAD POWER AND THE ABILITY TO STEER BUT NO POWER STEERING. LUCKILY I HAD A DRIVEWAY TO PULL INTO AND I COASTED INTO IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. AT THIS POINT I HAVE MY JEEP AT THE DEALER IN MODESTO CA FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND THE WIRING HARNESS FOR 1400 DOLLARS AND THEN THEY WILL SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. NOT A GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AS I CANNOT SPEND THIS TYPE OF MONEY WITH THE HOPE THAT WHATEVER OTHER PROBLEM THERE MIGHT BE WILL BE MORE AFFORDABLE OR EASIER TO DIAGNOSE. THIS HAS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT IS INHERENT WITH THE JEEP ITSELF AND A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. NOT ONLY DO I NOT BELIEVE THIS IS MY FAULT AS A USER OF THE VEHICLE BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON ANOTHER ROAD SUCH AS, A DIRT ROAD, MOUNTAIN ROAD, WINDING ROAD, IN ICY OR RAINY CONDITIONS, OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THIS CAR FOR ANY REASONABLE PRICE, AND THE PRICE FOR REPAIR IS OVER A QUARTER OF THE BLUE BOOK OF THE CAR. OVERALL I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE IT WAS MADE FOR AND THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THANK YOU

IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OCCURANCE. WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO SEE IF IT WILL CRANK. IT DOES AND THEN I PUT IN DRIVE. IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AND SOMETIMES IF YOU ARE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED AND YOUR CAR CUTS OFF, YOU LOSE POWER AND COULD EASY WRECK. IF I WAS TO PULL OUT AND IT CUT OFF, I COULD BE HIT AND KILLED OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE CAR WITH ME.

THE WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS AND MIRROR CONTROLS WERE NOT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE MAIN WIRES COMING IN FROM THE BODY OF THE JEEP INTO THE DOOR, (DOOR JAM/BLACK BOOT) IT WAS CLEAR WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THERE WAS A BLACK SEVERED WIRE AND A PARTIAL SEVERED ORANGE/WHITE WIRE. THERE WAS NO CLEAR SOLUTION WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS.

I BROUGHT MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE JUNE 2004, BARLEY USED. I HAVE REPAIRED A LOT OF THINGS UNDER THE HOOD ESPECIALLY WITH THE SENSORS AND THE BLACK HARNESS WIRE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, IT SPLIT IN 2 AND STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD TO HAVE IT SLICED AND MENDED TOGETHER, AFTER 8 MONTHS RECENTLY, I HAD TO REPAIR THE BLACK WIRE AGAIN DUE TO MOISTURE SETTING IN THE TAPE AND WIRES, I READ ON THE INTERNET CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT THE BLACK OR YELLOW WHERE'S IN THE DOOR, BECAUSE THEY BEND AND BREAK. THIS CAUSED MY THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND REMOTE SIDE MIRRORS NOT TO WORK. THE DASH BOARD METERS WENT HAYWIRE, I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED, SENSORS AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND REPLACED. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY NOW, GIVING CODES OF P0141, P0137 WITH BAD FUEL MPG. IT RIDES LIKE IT IS SMOTHERED IN FEATHERS. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD BE THE FUEL PUMP. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT, FOR 2 DAY'S AND NOW BACK ON. HOW FRUSTRATING AFTER BUYING THIS CAR FOR $23,900 IN 6/2004, I HAVE PAID AN ESTIMATE IN CAR REPAIRS OF $4-5000 SO FAR. IF CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS THEY NEED TO CONFESS, AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITH RECALLS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. I AM SURE OTHERS ARE SUFFERING TOO. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SEPTEMBER OF 2013 AND ALTHOUGH I LOVE THIS VEHICLE THERE IS ONE THING THAT IS SO NOT RIGHT ABOUT IT ALSO. IN THE BEGINNING THE WINDOWS, DOOR LOCK AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS WOULD STOP WORKING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE MOST INADEQUATE ELECTRIC DOOR UNLOCKING SYSTEM. THERE IS THIS VERY THIN WIRE VERY THIN WIRE ATTACHED TO THIS HEAVY METAL THING THAT JUST SITS IN WINDOW. THE WIRE COMES APART SO EASY AND IT SHOULD NOT. NOW THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE OVER THE MONTHS. YOU USE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER DOOR AND RIGHT AWAY EVERYTHING WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. NOW THAT IT IS HOT OUTSIDE I CAN NOT GET IT TO WORK AT ALL MY WINDOWS STAYED ROLLED DOWN I CAN'T ADJUST MY MIRRORS AND MY ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK FOR DRIVER DOOR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN SO MANY WAYS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL. *TR

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. AND ALL GUAGES ON DASH WERE MOVING IRRATICALLY. AFTER GOOGLE SEARCHING, I FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE 2004 CHEROKEE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WIRES IN THE DRIVER DOOR BREAKING. WE CHECKED THE WIRES IN THE DRIVER DOOR BOOT AND THE BLACK WIRE WAS BROKE. FIXED THAT PROBLEM. NOW THE WIRES IN BOTH FRONT AND AND REAR DOORS DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE BROKEN. REAR SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK, WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN, AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK. SENSOR FOR INTERIOR LIGHT ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR DO NOT WORK. WINDOW IS PARTIALLY DOWN AND NO WAY TO PUT BACK UP. MY DRIVER SEAT IS MAKING A ROCKING MOVEMENT THAT JUST RECENTLY STARTED. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED BY FAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ALL THAT I HAVE IN A VEHICLE. THIS YEAR AND MODEL JEEP HAS ALOT OF ISSUES THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO AKNOWLEDGE. THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I JUST CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR JEEP AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY JEEP, AND THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS THAT I TOLD THEM ABOUT.

DEFECT IN ELECTRICAL WIRING IN DRIVER-SIDE DOOR PREVENTS WINDOWS FROM ROLLING DOWN (A SAFETY HAZARD) AND DOORS FROM LOCKING/UNLOCKING. THE BACK HATCH WILL EITHER REMAIN IN LOCKED OR UNLOCKED MODE DEPENDING ON WHEN THE WIRING FAILS (THIS MODEL JEEP DOES NOT INCLUDE A MANUAL WAY TO USE A KEY TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE BACK HATCH). IF A PET WAS IN THE BACK OF THE SUV THAT HAD A "PET FENCE", THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET THE PET OUT OF THE VEHICLE (OR LUGGAGE/CARGO). THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION WHERE THE GAS TANK MAY CATCH ON FIRE (CURRENT RECALL). THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON AS IF A DOOR WAS OPEN. TURNING OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS PREVENTS THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER/GAUGES/ETC FROM ILLUMINATING AT NIGHT. IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNED OFF, THEN ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON CAUSING A HAZARD AT NIGHT AS WELL. DRIVER-SIDE WIRING WAS FIXED IN OCTOBER OF 2012.

I OWN A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE WHICH HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS AND EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROL PANEL DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF, ALL CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP CHEROKEES DUE TO THE WIRING INSIDE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN 2009 AFTER AT ABOUT 46,000 MILES. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP GIVE ME AN EXACT PRICE OVER THE PHONE AS THEY KNEW OF THIS ISSUE. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY RUDE AND PRICE WAS VERY HIGH.I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A HIGHLY REGARDED REPAIR SHOP WHICH SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRICAL WORK WHICH COST $201 BUT NOW (AT 80,000 MILES) THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN DUE TO THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE WIRING HARNESS IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, BUT THE HARNESS IS TOO SMALL TO SUSTAIN ALL OF THE WIRES. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED, THE WIRES COME OUT OF THE HARNESS AND BREAK, WHICH CAUSES EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL NOT TO WORK. THIS INCLUDES THE POWER WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS AND POWER MIRRORS ALL OF WHICH CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR JEEP THAT THEY SHOULD FIX FREE OF CHARGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I FEEL THAT IT'S VERY RECKLESS OF JEEP TO NOT RECALL THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND ALLOW THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS THAT TO NOT WORK OR INTERIOR LIGHTS THAT DO NOT TURN OFF. IN ORDER TO TURN OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT SEE ANY OF THE INSTRUMENTS.

WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE WIRING BECOMES EXPOSED AND/OR BREAKS. IN MY CASE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CONTROLS CEASED TO OPERATE CAUSING THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. IN ADDITION THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO TURN ON WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE ON CAUSING DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS. FINALLY, THIS FAULT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE ON. THIS ISSUE CAN BE TEMPORARILY CORRECTED BY SPLICING THE EXISTING WIRING HARNESS.

2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SE 4.0L ALL GAUGES BOUNCE AND STOP WORKING AND THE TRUCK START SLOWING DOWN AT 60MPH HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. THEN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART FOR 15MIN JUST AS A TOLL TRUCK WAS PULLING UP. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAY IF THE TRUCK IS RUNNING NOW THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO UNLESS IT IS NOT RUNNING. NOW THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCKS DOES NOT WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. AFTER READING SOME OTHER POST ON THE WEB THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. IT SEEM LIKE THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HARNESS WHERE ONE OF THE WIRES BREAK AWAY FROM THE HARNESS. AFTER READING THE BELOW POST JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. JUST READ THE BELOW POST. HTTP://AUTOFORUM.CLASSIFIEDS1000.COM/JEEP-GRAND_CHEROKEE/04_JEEP_GRAND_CHEROKEE_ELECTRICAL_PROBLEM. *TR

GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR CUTS OFF, YOU CANNOT STEER IT, AND THE BRAKES SEEM NOT TO WORK WELL AT ALL, YOU PRACTICALLY HAVE TO STAND ON THEM. THIS NEARLY GOT ME HIT TODAY GOING THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND BARELY GOT THE CAR STOPPED BEFORE HITTING A TREE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, HE CHANGED THE FUSE AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OK, UNTIL TODAY. TWO YEARS AGO, THE WIRING TO THE WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS QUIT WORKING AND HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THAT REPLACED, THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THESE VEHICLES. YEARS AGO, I HAD AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM, GOT STUCK, FINALLY GOT CONTROL OF IT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NEVER COULD TELL ME WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON AFTER THIS OCCURRING. *TR

CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES ON HIGHWAY, RURAL ROADS AND MAIN ROADS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE SEVERAL WRECKS. WHEN THE CAR CUTS OFF, I LOSE ALL POWER. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY AUTISTIC SON. I HAVE HAD TO WALK BACK HOME OR GET SOMEONE TO COME GET ME IF IT WAS FURTHER AWAY. I HAVE HAD TO USE SOMEONE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO IT AND I WILL WRECK. AFTER A WHILE IT WILL START AGAIN, BUT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OFF ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO WHEN I WOULD JUST CRANK THE CAR AND THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT CRANK BUT THE 2ND TIME IT WOULD. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN STRANDED OR BE DRIVING AND HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO SEE IF IT WILL CRANK. IT DOES AND THEN I PUT IN DRIVE. IT CUTS OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AND SOMETIMES IF YOU ARE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED AND YOUR CAR CUTS OFF, YOU LOSE POWER AND COULD EASY WRECK. IF I WAS TO PULL OUT AND IT CUT OFF, I COULD BE HIT AND KILLED OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS STRANDED ACROSS THE STREET ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND I WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP. A GENTLEMAN CAME OVER AND BROUGHT SOME EQUIPMENT WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT PART BUT NOT ON MINE. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER ON DECEMBER 29, 2009 AND TOLD THEM OF THE INCIDENT AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK.

1) FIRST, THE CAR CRANKS (IGNITION) SLOWLY AND THEN STOPPED CRANKING. 2) AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF OR CAR STALLED, CAR DOESN'T START ANY MORE. NEED TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 15 TO 30 MIN. BEFORE CAR STARTS AGAIN. FIRST INTERMITTENT, NOW ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT WE BLOCKED RAILWAY CROSSINGS, DRIVEWAYS, INTERSECTIONS AND SO ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN ! 3) - ON 8/14/09, THE BATTERY WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE BAD. REPLACED, DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ($200) - ON 8/18/09, THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP AGAIN, BUT MAINTENANCE GUY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. ($0) - ON 9/1/09, THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. THIS TIME SOME WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. (TRANS TEMP, CHECK GAUGES) THIS TIME THEY FOUND THAT (POSSIBLE) TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE RANGE SENSOR WOULD NOT ALLOW STARTUP. TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ($385) - LATER IN OCTOBER, THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. FOR 2 WEEKS WITHOUT SUCCESS. DEALER MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO RECONSTRUCT THE FAILURE ONCE. DAILY TESTING DIDN'T SHOW THE PROBLEM ANY MORE. CAR WAS PICKED UP ON 10/26/09.

I OWN A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED......I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE SEAT HEATER RECALL AND SINCE THEN I HAVE TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF THE CAR....(700RPMS TO 1800) I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN AND BE VERY CONSCIOUS OF KEEPING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON WITH A P0505 CODE. AIR INTAKE SENSOR. WELL A NEW ONE WAS PUT IN AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT CONTROL THE IDLE EVEN WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER ATTACHED TO IT. IT WAS FOUND THAT TWO WIRES ON THE WIRING HARNESS WERE SHORTING OUT AND MELTING......THEN AFTER DRIVING APPROX 1200 MILES THE IDLE STARTS JUMPING AGAIN.....THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER......THEN WITHIN THE SAME DAY THE IDLE CALMS DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. I HAVE PAID LOTS OF MONEY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED.....I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE FROM THE SEAT HEATER RECALL SINCE THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS PRIOR TO HAVING THE DEALERSHIP FIX THE SEAT HEATER WITH THE RECALL. I REALLY LIKE MY CAR WHEN THE IDLE IS RIGHT ........I AM NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL SAFE WHEN THE ACCELERATION GOES WILD.....PLEASE HELP.....THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE END OF JUNE 2004. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MILES AT PURCHASE. THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THE CAR CUT OFF ON MY HUSBAND AND WAS DIFFICULT TO START. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THEY COULD NOT LOOK AT THE CAR BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. WHILE ON VACATION 1 1/2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE OUR CAR SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND. THAT DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS. THEN UPON OUR RETURN TO SOUTH CAROLINA THE RPM OF OUR CAR WOULD SUDDENLY DROP TO 500 WHILE IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR AT A STOP. THE RPM'S WOULD ALSO SUDDENLY DROP TO 0 AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF WHILE IDLING. FROM THE MIDDLE OF JULY UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST THE CAR WAS LOOKED AT APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES. THE SKIM MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS WERE BOTH REPLACED IN THE CAR. AFTER THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED THE CAR CEASED TO HAVE PROBLEMS FOR 3000 MILES. THEN ON DECEMBER 4TH THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE RPM'S HAVE NOW STARTED TO ONCE AGAIN DROP DOWN TO BELOW 500 AND OCCASIONALLY THEY GO UP AND DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT EVEN MOVING. A CO-PILOT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED TO RECORD ANY ERRORS IN THE CAR AND NO CODES OR MISFIRES WERE CAPTURED FROM THE CAR.

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A DEFECT IN THE ECM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM CURRENTLY.

CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2004 GRAND CHEROKEE'S. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM RUNNING THE RISK OF MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPING UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN IT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A COUPLE POWER OUTLETS; THEY LOOK ALMOST LIKE CIGARETTE LIGHTER RECEPTACLES. THE OUTLETS ARE MARKED "20A" INDICATING A 20 AMP CURRENT CAPABILITY. THE JEEP BOOK ALSO INDICATES THESE POWER OUTLETS ARE ABLE TO CARRY 20 AMPS, AND THE JEEP SHOP MANUAL CALLS THESE 20 AMP CIRCUITS. WHEN I DISASSEMBLED SOME TRIM TO INSTALL A 2-METER HAM RADIO, I SAW 2 VERY SMALL WIRES CONNECTED TO THE REAR POWER OUTLET. THE JEEP SHOP MANUAL SAYS THESE ARE 16 GAUGE WIRES. HERE IS THE PROBLEM: 16 GAUGE WIRES WILL NOT COME NEAR THE ABILITY TO HANDLE 20 AMPS OF CURRENT. IN FACT, 16 GAUGE WIRE CURRENT CAPACITY IN A CABLE BUNDLE IS AROUND THE 5 OR 6 AMP AREA. MY HAM RADIO DRAWS 8 AMPS WHEN TRANSMITTING, AND WHEN PLUGGED IN THE JEEP POWER OUTLET, THE VOLTAGE DROP WAS THREE VOLTS. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE WIRES CAN SEVERELY OVERHEAT AND BECOME A FIRE HAZARD IF THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE ADVERTISED 20 AMP CAPABILITY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW CHRYSLER/JEEP GETS AWAY WITH THIS. THERE IS A 20 AMP FUSE IN THIS CIRCUIT, SO ANYONE USING AN INVERTER OR OTHER ACCESSORY THAT ACTUALLY DRAWS 20 AMPS IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY OVERHEAT OR MELT THE WIRING BEFORE THE FUSE BLOWS. *LA
