2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems

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

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

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

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

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

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

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..

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 A IGNITION 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. WHILE THE CAR WAS THERE THEY ALSO PERFORMED A 28 POINT INSPECTION AND DIDN'T FIND ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS. NINE DAYS LATER THE WCM PART COME IN FROM CANADA AND WAS REPLACED. MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 9/2. THE CAR RAN AS INTENDED AT TIMES FOR 9 DAYS AND ON 9/12 THE NO CRANK, NO START ISSUE RETURNED. AS OF THE TIME OF THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IN A CLOSING, THE ISSUES THE CAR WAS EXPERIENCING PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OR EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUES THAT I'M EXPERIENCING TODAY. I WILL HAVE THE JEEP TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING SUNDAY MORNING.

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 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.

THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOT EVERY TIME AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 70,000

THE CHECK ENGINE (GAS CAP) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, STOPPED TO PUT GARAGE DOOR DOWN AND THE 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?

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.

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.

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.

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 STARTED AGAIN. 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?

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 TO A 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. *TR

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! *TR

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. *TR

STARTING IN FEB. 2012 THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT WE LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE STARTS 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.

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! *TR

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 NOT HAVE 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 I SINCERELY BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

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? *TR

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.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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.

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. *TR

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 !

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. *JB

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? *TR

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). *TR

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? *TR

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. *TR
