TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROGRESSING FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLING WITH NO WARNING. THE DEALER (LEN STOLER CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEP, 1001 BALTIMORE BLVD, WESTMINSTER, MD 21157, (410) 876-8800) REPLACED A PART ASSOCIATED WITH THE IGNITION WHICH HAD TOOK LONGER THAN 6 TO 8 WEEKS TO RECEIVE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

SEAT BELT DON'T RETRACT, HEATER ONLY RUNS ON HIGH, HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT CLEAR AND DIM.

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

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE KEY DID NOT OPEN AND LOCK THE DOORS.

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
