Lights on the dashboard were blinking, there were no turning signals, the gas gauge was not working, and the check engine light was flashing. My safety was put at risk because I could not let people know when I was turning. I took it to the dealer, and they said there were too many codes, but none were active for them to fix the problem. So, I have to drive the jeep, but this is dangerous. The warning keeps showing me that there is a problem with the ignition switch that was previously recalled. I want this taken care of, please.

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.

Dash will read "ESP System Disabled" during this the engine light and red lightning in brackets ( ) turns on, on the dash. This affects the acceleration there is none and brakes work but is slow to come to a full stop. An inspection can be scheduled. This happens anytime and randomly, getting safely off the road is hard. First happened April 1, 2024 then April 3, 2024. Had a family mechanic work on it got it back and less than a day having it back and it happened 5 more times just driving to work on August 28, 2024.

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

The Jeep would not start. When the key was inserted into the ignition switch and turned to the start position, all that would happen is a single click. The starter would not engage. The key had to me jiggled in order to start the Jeep. The ignition switch has very high sensitivity.

While driving the transmission will go into neutral without warning. I have to coast to a spot I can pull over then put into park then back into drive again and vehicle will go . It has done this three times.

Ignition system was repaired under recall in 2016. The cars ignition system continues to have issues and will shut off and cause the car not to restart. Very dangerous to be driving and have the engine fail. This happened on the highway recently. Chrysler says there is nothing they can do. Car has been looked at by independent mechanics and I have notified the dealership. They say it is my responsibility now.

The fuel tank skid plate has completely rusted and has broken off. My tank (that has a date of 2004 stamped on it) is completely exposed. I am afraid that my tank is going to fall off and cause harm to myself or the driver/vehicle behind me. The vehicle is mostly city street / highway driving… no off road driving. I am concerned of the considerable amount of pot holes ️ in my area that damage can be done based on the area I live in. Southwestern Pennsylvania has a lot of pot holes.

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

drivers side rear interior door handle plastic cup securing the handle broken. Cannot open door from inside.

The vehicle flipped down an embankment and into a creek and none of the air bags deployed, frontal or side curtains. Insurance adjuster has inspected vehicle. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to failure.

1. Fuel tank started leaking on the top. 2. Middle backseat belt was stuck. It would not pull out. No matter what we tried it just got tighter and tighter, had to cut it. 3. Can't use seat warmer on passenger side because it will burn the person sitting there because the seat tore.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while idle, the vehicle would overheat with the transmission temperature sensor warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle would shudder and hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal.

Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 05V396000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Driving down the road the vehicle cuts off had to try and pull off the road. It would not crank back. Had to have it towed.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER FOR VARYING AMOUNTS OF TIME. ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND VEHICLE DRIVES BUT DURING THIS POWER LOSS ALL LIGHTS, CRUISE CONTROL, A/C, AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE INOPERABLE. DRIVING CONDITIONS HAVE NOT CHANGED AND THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE SUDDENLY SHOWED UP.

While operating the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the instrument cluster acts as if it's disconnected..., Speedodemeter, Tachometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gage all go to zero, yet the engine continues to run without interruption. Then, with no rhyme or reason, the entire dashboard lights up (as if just turning the car on). All of this occurs within 26 seconds. No effect on the radio, A/C, etc., only seems to affect the instrument cluster. Not sure if the lights/brake lights/turn signals work when this occurs. I have a video, but cannot upload via this website - it is a .mov file.

NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN DRIVING EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL WILL GO OUT, THE DASH LIGHTS,HEADLIGHTS RADIO LIGHTS EVERYTHING LIKE THE CAR IS COMPLETELY OFF. ONE TIME I HIT THE DASH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON ANOTHER TIME JUST TO SEE I OPENED MY DRIVER DOOR AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR BACK EVERYTHING WENT BACK OFF. IT STARTED AS RANDOM BUT IS NOW MORE AND MORE OFTEN. IT HAPPENS ALWAY WHEN I AM DRIVING.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS KEEP FLICKERING, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD TURN ON AND OFF AND HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY.

THE HORN IS INTERMITTENTLY SOUNDING WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. WHEN PARKED THE KEYS ARE NOT IN THE IGNITION AND ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING.

WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TURNING THE KEY AND SHUTTING OFF THE LIGHTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AND HAS NOT BEEN IN STOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. SEVERAL MOMENTS LATER THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MOUNTAIN VIEW CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 6276 ALABAMA HWY, RINGGOLD, GA 30736, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THE DRIVE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

THE DOOR HANDLES EASILY CRACK OFF OF THE DOOR PANEL WHICH PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AND IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL BEING REPLACED.

PCM HAS BEEN REPLACEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES BY DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP. When computer fails it has failed a circuit with 02 sensors which kills engine power randomly while driving on highways. It has turned ABS light on and Service 4x4 randomly and won’t let the vehicle travel over 10mph. Very dangerous on roads. I’ve had three computers installed in the last Year and a half and have given me 3 close calls almost causing accident. That’s 3 too many. I’m not the only one with the computer issues ask around to owners with these jeeps. How many close called does someone need for Chrysler to not even repair but Just to look into. Do people need to die in an accident for people to take this seriously. The issue is NOT from lack of maintenance either. If my ABS module was failed I would no. My vehicle has a 115,000miles on it and when this dangerous intermittent issues occur there are no DTC codes stored. This is a total epic failure done by Chrysler. If they don’t find something soon about theses vehicles. I will be sure never to by another Jeep product. I don’t drive this vehicle unless I’m alone never-mind one of my niece or nephews With me in this death trap I’ve learned my lesson On this one Chrysler Please help NHTSA!!

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.

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 INTERIOR HANDLES ON ALL 4 DOORS HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS BUT NOW THEY ARE COMPLETELY CRUMBLED. AT FIRST, I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS, THEN, WHOMEVER WAS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT, THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR ME TO GO AROUND & OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM. THEY COULD NOT GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. IT WAS A HASSLE BUT I MOSTLY DRIVE ALONE, SO I TOLERATED IT. AS OF YESTERDAY, I NOW HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOW, (DRIVERS SIDE), TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT'S CRACK TO THE POINT, THAT I CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ANY LONGER. IT'S A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT & NEEDED TO GET OUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO. YEARS AGO, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN CLEARWATER, FL. WAS GOING TO REPLACE DOOR PANELS, TO REPLACE THE HANDLES, BUT THE DISTRICT MGR THAT OK'D WAS TRANSFERRED & THE NEW DISTRICT MGR. REFUSED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE & DEATH. I'M HOPING & PRAYING YOU WILL DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS. IF NOT, I'M THINKING OF CALLING THE LOCAL NEWS. ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES HAVE CRACKED, BROKEN & CRUMBLED. DOOR HANDLES ARE TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION DRIVER & PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED!

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO (3.7 LITER V6) HAS ABOUT 78,500 MILES. IN 2018 MY JEEP HAD AN ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT INCIDENT. I HAD THE OBDII READ BY O'REILLY AUTO PARTS FOR THE FAILURE CODES. THE CODES DOWNLOADED WERE U0404 & P0700. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED, 'DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY', HE WAS RIGHT - THE FAILURE CODE (DASH LIGHT) WENT AWAY. NOW, FEB. 7, 2020 MY ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON. AGAIN I WENT TO O'REILLY AUTO PART TO HAVE THE OBDII ERROR CODES READ. AGAIN, THE ERROR CODES CAME UP U0404 & P0700. I DID SOME RESEARCH (ON THE WEB) AND FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT ADDRESSED THESE TWO EXACT FAILURE CODES. PLEASE SEE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, WEB ADDRESS, BELOW THAT EXPLAINS THE FAILURE AND REPAIR. HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=YD71KNUO2AU THIS VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS THE REASON FOR THESE TWO ERROR CODES. THE SHIFTING CONSOLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) HAS ALLOWED (OVER TIME) THE TRANSFER OF MATERIAL BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT DRIVE SELECTION POINTS (DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK) ON THE PCB TO BE SHORT CIRCUITED (BRIDGED) CAUSING A FALSE SIGNAL TO THE OTHER CONTROL DEVICES. THIS IS NOT LISTED AS A SERVICEABLE ITEM BY JEEP. AS A RESULT JEEP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILURE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STATE THAT THIS IS A SERVICE PREVENTABLE FAILURE. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY COMPLAINT.
