Every single code is displayed when using a ODB2 scan tool. I have many electrical issues that go away and come back. Sluggish performance. Random components inside the jeep will fail at random. I’m thinking the ECU is faulty. Somedays it will run fine with all the codes still present.

I was at the light a and the truck caught on fired

1. Engine over heating problems numerous times and coolant leak. Even after replacement of radiator and hoses. 2. Went to pick up jeep from mechanic due to oil leak, when they brought it around, I noticed pink fluid dripping. Had Transmission serviced in March/April 2020 due to a leak., Flushed system, new filters and fluid. Last few months vehicle says "Transmission over Temp" a few times. Replaced transmission pan, due to a leak, new fluid added, in September 2022. Vehicle indicated "Transmission over Temp" a few weeks later. Didn't drive it a few days, haven't seen the warning sign yet. 3. Numerous oil leaks. Serpitean belt replaced along with other repairs. 4. When I bought vehicle, it had no heat and coolant was leaking in on passenger side floor. 5. Jeep shifts to 3rd gear and won't shift down or back into drive until I turn off vehicle and back on. Very dangerous I was a busy road, US 41 heading north, and had to pull over.

The ECM in trans has defect which can throw jeep into another gear. Electrical issues confuses trans module check engine light us on.. differential is loose now. Unsafe to drive gears could shift causing a crash . Vehicle has been diagnosed at Mr Transmission. 773-768 7676. For full REPORT!+=

Vehicle slips into neutral when driving. Only ways you fix is to put in park turn off the car and turn it back on.

Entering my exit I noticed my 1month old was no longer sound asleep but screaming I turned around noticing she was being approached by smoke arising from the back of the vehicle.As panic set in I immediately tried to come to stop moving off the exit. At the same time clear fluid gushed out of the hood and smoke immediately entered the front of the vehicle making it difficult to come to a stop see or breath. I went blank out of fear or pure confusion as I reached for my infant in the back as quickly as I could at that point she was. No longer crying. I shot out of the vehicle as fast as possible and stayed in a safety spot attempting to shield her from the sun as I watched the jeep ignite and continue to smoke itself out witnesses gathered around one allowing me to sit in her vehicle with my baby until help arrived. NO warning signs once so ever no indication of an over heating vehicle drove perfectly and not frequently it may be inspected at the towing it was taken to as for the safety of my newborn and myself we both could’ve tragically ended up gone because I was not and would not have thought twice about leaving my daughter in that vehicle. she just got into this world to be taken that fast it wasnt an option. I’ve been very uneasy since the incident with absolutely anything that functions or is electronic. Continues replay in my head over and over again in detail and nothing new pops up truly a very Traumatic experience and an unexpected loss. appointments I can’t make it to have had to cancel I do not have family here especially not close by to help me this accident was by far caused by the vehicle because it definitely look like he had a mind of its own suddenly

IT STARTED OUT WITH MY KEY FOB NOT UNLOCKING MY CAR. SO I DECIDED TO UNLOCK MY CAR MANUALLY, DOING SO SET OFF THE ALARM AND HAD THE LIGHTS BLINKING AND HORN GOING OFF. SO I THEN DECIDED TO ORDER A NEW FOB WITH A NEW BATTERY (EVEN THOUGH MINE WAS NEW). THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I DECIDED TO CALL SOMEONE TO COME PROGRAM MY FOB, THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. SO THEY DID. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THEN THE FOB DIDN'T UNLOCK MY CAR, BRAND NEW FOB, BRAND NEW BATTERY. BACK TO SQUARE 1, UNLOCKING IT MANUALLY DEALING WITH THE HORN ISSUE. THEN, 1 DAY GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED IT AND PULLED IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE HORN WENT OFF AND WOULD NOT STOP EVEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR. IT CONTINUED TO BE AN ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE RESOLVED. SO WE PULLED THE FUSE TO MY HORN. NOW I'M DRIVING WITH NO HORN, A HAZARD. ISSUES CONTINUED, MY CAR NOW NOT ONLY WILL THE ALARM STILL GO OFF WITH FLASHING LIGHTS NOW IT'S NOT STARTING, IT'S EVEN ACTED UP WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ENGINE HAVING WEIRD SPASMS AND ACCELERATING. WORRIED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND EVEN GOT IT TESTED BY MECHANICS AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS FINE. MY CAR HAS HUGE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THE AIRBAGS APPARENTLY DON'T WORK EITHER. BUT I'VE PULLED OUT FUSES AND IT SOMETIMES REBOOTS THE CAR AND WILL START NORMAL AND WORK FOR MAYBE A FEW DAYS BEFORE ACTING UP AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WON'T EVEN START AND MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AS IF IT'S THE BATTERY BUT THEN AFTER MANY TRIES OR SOMETIMES A FEW IT'LL START. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A BIT NOW AND HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE AND MORE WORRISOME

MY JEEP 5.7L V8 WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL ON IGNITION AND COMPUTER FLASH FOR RECEIVER. WHILE THERE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY MOTOR. I WAS ADVISED THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS MOTOR AND MILEAGE(88,000). THIS TICK KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND I SEE MOST 5.7S UP TO NOW STILL HAVE IT ,BEFORE THE LIFTERS RUIN A CRANKSHAFT. IS THE NHTSA GOING TO CORRECT THIS TRAVESTY OR HIDE BEHIND THEIR REPUTATION ,LIKE THE CRASH DUMMY NEXT TO THIS PAGE?

WON'T SPEED UP AND WHEN IS DOES IT GETS JAMMED AND IT SHAKES AND WHEN I BREAK ITS SHAKES EVEN WHEN I TURN. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT'S EITHER THE MOTOR MESSED UP OR THE COMPUTER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'LL COST ME 3,000 I DON'T HAVE THAT. I SAVED UP FOR A HEAD TO BY IT. AND A MONTH AFTER I GOT IT IT'S MESSING UP. BUT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND IT THREW NO CODES NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT TOOK ALL OF A MONTH TO BREAK DOWN ON ME. AND THE BATTERY WON'T STAY CHARGED THEY PUT IN A NEW BATTERY WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. THEN I HAD TO WARRANTY ANOTHER BECAUSE THAT ONE STOPPED WORKING. I JUST NEED HELP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

MY CAR JUST KEPT GOING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE ALMOST LOST MY LIFE 2 TIMES ALREADY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. EVERYTIME I GO TO CHRYSLER...

A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY JEEP ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I NOTICED THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL HAD STOPPED WORKING AND THE ABS LIGHT HAD COME. I CHECKED MY FUSES AND RELAYS AND THEY WERE OK. THEN A DAY OR SO LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. MY JEEP THEN SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFTED ITSELF. IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP, IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND WOULD NOT SHIFT ONTO ANOTHER GEAR. I PULLED OVER KILLED THE MOTOR.

I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR UBER, TAXIS, RENTALS, BUSES, TRAINS, AND HAVE WALKED EVERYWHERE DUE TO THIS RECALL. IT HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY. JEEP HAS NOT ONCE COMPENSATED ME. EVERY TIME I CALL, THEY SAY NEXT MONTH. THIS HAD BEEN FOR ONE YEAR NOW! THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON 66, 395, AND 495 INTERSTATES. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR JEEP TO DO SOMETHING? I HAD ONE REP SAID WE'LL REIMBURSE ME, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO REIMBURSE ME, FOR A PART THAT'S NOT EVEN IN PRODUCTION. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I RESIDE LAST YEAR ABOUT THE LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE PLEASE FIX THE ELECTRICAL BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR, THE REFUSED , BECAUSE THEY STATED, THEY NEVER SAW IT. I WAS TOLD I CAN RENT A CAR FOR THEM, ON MY OWN DIME FOR 40.00 A DAY!! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WHEN IT'S JEEP'S RECALL. I HAVE LOST OUT ON JOBS, BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS REALLY SERIOUS.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING TO GET THIS PROBLEM RENDERED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AND THE SLEW OF POSSIBLE FATAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD ANYTHING OCCUR.

MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN FOR QUITE AWHILE. I HAVE NO CHOICE. I HAVE ALREADY NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS LIT ON MY DASH, AS WELL AS MY AIRBAG LIGHT AS WELL INDICATING THAT I ALREADY HAVE ISSUES OCCURRING THAT ARE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE IS LINKED TO THIS PROBLEM. I WANT THIS FIXED. I CANT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND NEED THE ONE I HAVE. HOWEVER, AM I SUPPOSSED TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED FIRST? THEN WHAT,? A FAMILY MEMBER RECEIVES A CHECK? WHO CARES ABOUT THE MONEY IF I'M KILLED? I AM SERIOUSLY ANNOYED AND CONCERNED, PLEASE RENDER THIS ISSUE. AND I'M SICK OF HEARING "WE DONT HAVE THE PART". I NEED THIS VEHICLE FIXED NOW!!!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. ENGINE SHUT DOWN, ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND POWER SYSTEMS WERE LOST. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE ON. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT AND IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE IT COULD BE FIXED. NO OFFER WAS MADE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE THE ISSUE REMAINED OPEN. I AM NOT GOING TO ENDANGER MY LIFE, MY FAMILY'S LIVES, OR THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS BY CONTINUING TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.

THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY ON THE ABOVE DATE. AS MY DAUGHTER, FRIENDS AND I WERE PULLING ONTO THE ROAD, I BUMPED THE KEY WITH MY KNEE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, TURNED THE KEY, STARTED IT, AND CONTINUED ON. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN, TWICE WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING. WE FOLLOWED THE RECALL POSTED BY CHRYSLER AND REMOVED EVERYTHING FROM THE KEY CHAIN, MOVED THE SEAT BACK, ETC. (THERE IS NO FIX OFFERED FOR THIS). THIS PAST SATURDAY NIGHT, 7/25/15, MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS RETURNING HOME FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN SHE SNEEZED AND AS SHE WAS RECOVERING AND RE-ADJUSTING, SHE BUMPED THE KEY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, EVERYTHING IS CUT OFF. LIGHTS, BRAKES, GAUGES, EVERYTHING. BEING DARK, SHE COULD NOT SEE, COULD BARELY STEER, BRAKE, ETC. AND WAS BASICALLY "ALONG FOR THE RIDE". AS SHE WAS IN A LEFT TURN AT THE TIME, SHE PULLED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO TRY AND STAY ON THE ROAD AND NOT GO "BEYOND THE TURN" AND CRASH. BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING, SHE WAS GOING TOO FAST, MANAGED TO GET THE CAR GOING TO THE RIGHT BUT ENDED UP IN A SLIDE. THE CAR SLID SIDEWAYS AND THEN BACKWARDS, SLIDING OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND ONTO A DRIVEWAY WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAUGHT THE CULVERT UNDER THE DRIVEWAY, FLIPPING THE JEEP ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE WHERE IT REMAINED AS IT SLID BACKWARDS FOR ABOUT 10 FEET, STOPPING IN A RESIDENTS YARD. THANKFULLY, MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO CLIMB UP AND OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW, UNHARMED, GO TO A HOUSE AND GET HELP. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM (CHRYSLER ADMITS THIS ON THE RECALL NOTICE), I AM OUT A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT THEY CAN NOT/WILL NOT FIX. BECAUSE OF THE YEAR MODEL AND MILEAGE, I ONLY CARRIED LIABILITY INSURANCE, SO THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WILL EXCEED THE COST TO REPAIR. I FEEL CHRYSLER OWES ME THE REPLACEMENT COST.

I HAD MY VEHICLE VALET PARKED WITH A SINGLE KEY IN THE IGNITION.

WE PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE PARKING AREA OF THE HOTEL AND AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 15 MPH I TURN TO ADJUST AND ITEM ON THE REAR FLOOR WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE KEY AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS SWITCHED OFF. I HAD NO STEERING SINCE IT WAS IN LOCKED POSITION AND THE BRAKES WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I AM JUST GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH.

BUT MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT I'M A JEEP GIRL AND A FAITHFUL ONE BUT AFTER MY CONSTANT BATTLE WITH THIS LESS THEN DESIRABLE HUNK OF JUNK I'M THINKING OF CHEATING WITH A FORD! AFTER MY DAILY FAILURES WITH THIS THING I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE FAR SURPASSES THE TWO RECALLS IN MY SHORT 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I'M MOST UPSET WITH MY DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT THEY FORGOT TO MENTION A FEW HUNDRED DRIVERS OF THIS PRIOR RENTAL TRUCK WITH AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS MORE THAN A SKIP OVER THE CURB. THEY OFFERED BUT NEVER MADE GOOD ON PROVIDING ME WITH OWNERS MANUAL...GUESS THEY WERE WORRIED I WOULD NOTICE THE PAST SAFETY RECALLS THAT WERE NEVER DONE. SO I HAVE HAD AND CONTINUE TO HAVE EVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ON THIS HEAP KNOWN TO MECHANICS. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING FOR THINGS THAT "JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR" WHEN IN TRUTH ITS ALL BEEN A RESULT TO THE VISCOUS CYCLE OF RECALLS THAT WERE EITHER NEVER DONE OR NEVER THE PROPER FIX TO BEGIN WITH.

APRIL 2014. STOPPED AT A STORE, WENT TO LEAVE AND BATTERY WOULDN'T TURN OVER; 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO DID THIS A COUPLE MORE TIMES LEAVING ME STRANDED (JUST WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT) IT SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF AFTER MY MECHANIC CLEANED BATTERY POST AND RE TIGHTENED CABLES. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO VEHICLE STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. DIDN'T WANT TO START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD RUN GREAT AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHTS, ENGINE ETC... (I THINK MOST THE LIGHTS THAT COME ON IN DASH WHEN YOU FIRST START CAR). THEN TODAY. I WAS DRIVING AT 30MPH WHEN JEEP STARTED CUTTING OUT; LIGHTS ON DASH WOULD FLASH; CLOCK WOULD RESET TO 12; I'M TRYING TO STOP AND MY BRAKES ARE VERY STIFF; POWER STEERING EXTREMELY STIFF. A LADY PUSHED ME OUT OF THE ROAD, I PUT CAR INTO PARK. SHE THOUGHT I NEEDED TO BE PUSHED FURTHER BUT THEM THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. AFTER WAITING FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR AAA TO NOT SHOW, ANOTHER LADY OFFERED TO TRY AND JUMP JEEP. JEEP STARTED RIGHT UP. I HAD 10 MILES TO DRIVE THE WHOLE TIME DASH LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON; STEERING ALL BUT FREEZING UP AND BRAKES TOO. BEFORE I LEFT MY SPOT JUST OFF THE ROAD THAT I HAD BEEN PUSHED TO , I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START JEEP. IT WOULDN'T START WO ASSISTANCE BUT I NOTICED EVERYTIME I CRANKED THE KEY THE CLOCK RADIO DID RESET TO 12. I'M HOPING IT'S THE IGNITION RECAP SO I CAN GET BACK TO A SAFE VEHICLE FOR ME AND MY TODDLER DAUGHTER VERY SOON. *TR

I BOUGHT MY GD CHEROKEE USED WITH 71K MILES. I JUST HAD MY FIRST OIL CHANGE BEFORE HEADING OUT ON A CAMPING TRIP FOR THE WEEKEND. ON THE RETURN TRIP, I HAD JUST TURNED ONTO THE HIGHWAY (55 MPH ZONE). I AM 6'4" TALL. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS SHORTER THAN ME. THE SEAT WAS IN THE WRONG POSITION (I NOW KNOW). WHILE SWITCHING FROM GAS PEDAL TO BRAKE PEDAL, MY KNEE HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR TURNED OFF. I IMMEDIATELY REACHED FOR THE KEY AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. IT LUNGED THE WAY A MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOSE WHEN THE CLUTCH IS LET OUT TOO QUICK. I MOVED MY SEAT BACK AWAY FROM THE WHEEL. NOW I DRIVE IT FROM FARTHER BACK, WHICH MEANS I NEED TO SIT UP STRAIGHTER, WHICH MEANS MY HEAD HITS THE CEILING OFTEN. I HAVE THE LIMITED EDITION AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT THE SEAT CAN'T GO DOWN FAR ENOUGH FOR ME TO DRIVE IT COMFORTABLE WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR OFF WHICH HAS GOT TO BE HORRIBLE FOR THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS STALLING AT A STOP ONLY HAPPENS A FEW MINUTES INTO DRIVING AND DISAPPEARS AFTER ABOUT 1/2 HR OF DRIVING. THE STALL CAN BE PREVENTED BY PUSHING THE (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. (I.E. THIS LOOKS TO BE A TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROBLEM, NOT AN ENGINE IDLE PROBLEM). JEEP DEALER HAD CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE STALL BUT COULD NOT FIND CAUSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT ON. *TR

I SAW THE NEWS THIS MORNING THAT CHRYSLER JEEP HAS ADMITTED TO A DEFECT WHERE THE JEEP CHEROKEES (2005) TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG. MY JEEP HAS TURNED OFF/STALLED SOON AFTER I HAVE STARTED DRIVING IT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. IT SORT OF STALLS WITH NO POWER GOING TO THE ENGINE AND THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER KICKS IN AND MOVES. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR PULL AWAY FROM THE CURB TO START DRIVING IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM A COUPLE TIMES AND BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. AS A SEPARATE OR RELATED ISSUE, DURING ONE OF MY FIRST SERVICES AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON -- I WENT BACK TO HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED AND WAS FINALLY TOLD ON THE FOURTH VISIT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND NOT TO WORRY UNLESS A LIGHT WENT ON AND STAYED ON (I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PURSUE THE ISSUE AND I GOT NO WHERE WITH THE DEALERSHIP). MORE RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT THAT GOES ON AND OFF (IF IS NOW OFF). FINALLY, I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE THIS MORNING AND ENTERED MY VIN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL OR NOTICES. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRES CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND/OR IT IS ADDRESSED THROUGH A CLASS ACTION. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS OPERATING PROPERLY 3 MINUTES PRIOR TO ATTEMPTED STARTS. THE FIRST ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE FIRED UP AND REVVED UP BUT IMMEDIATELY DIED. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS WERE SIMILAR. AFTER ABOUT 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS, THERE WAS A LARGE RATTLING NOISE AND THE ENGINE BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO START. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND HAVING THEM OPEN UP THE ENGINE, WE FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED OUT FROM THE CYLINDER HEADS AND MUST HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OPERATE INCORRECTLY. THE VALVE SEAT HAD SHATTERED INTO MANY TINY PIECES, WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE RATTLING NOISE. UPON INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROPPING OUT IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE IN MY JEEP AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY DODGE AND CHRYSLER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD REQUIRE THE IMMEDIATE ACTION OF CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR VALVE SEATS. *TT

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 4.7 V8. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS (QTY 2) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SHEARED RESULTING IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK (POSSIBLY DUE TO HEAT OR UNDER ENGINEERING RUST WAS NOT A FACTOR). I HAVE MADE CHRYSLER AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH THE 4.7 V8 FOUND NOT ONLY IN THE GRAND CHEROKEE BUT THE COMMANDER, AND DODGE DURANGO AS WELL. A LEAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAN CAUSE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. THIS ISSUE CAN ALSO RESULT IN TOXIC FUME INHALATION THROUGH CABIN AIR INTAKE PORTS. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1300 TO REPLACE (8) BOLTS THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN MY SAFETY, AND EXCUSED THE ISSUE BY STATING THAT "CARS ARE JUST NOT MADE LIKE THEY USED TO BE". I FIND THIS RIDICULOUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE CAN RESULT IN DEATH, OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, AS WELL AS SERVER BURN IN THE EVENT OF FIRE. *TR

THE 3.7L MOTOR HAS BLOWN A HEAD. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MOTOR BUT JEEP WON'T DO ANYTHING OR ADMIT THE PROBLEM.

2005 JEEP HAS BEEN SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL SINCE FEBRUARY 2013. IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF REAR-ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NO MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE THANKFULLY!

I GO RUNNING OUTSIDE, OPENED THE DOOR AND PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BREAK...JUST MISSING AN EMBANKMENT! SINCE THE "NEUTRAL" THING STARTED I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. MY MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND HE SAID ITS ALL ELECTRICAL. ALSO, I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW GOING UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN THE REST OF THE WINDOWS SINCE 3 MONTHS INTO PURCHASE.
