HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS ARE TURNING OFF WHEN WE TAKE A RIGHT TURN AND USE THE BLINKER. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON EVERY RIGHT TURN ONLY OCCASIONALLY. WE HAVE TURNED THE VEHICLE INTO JEEP 5 TIMES TO BE FIXED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. JEEP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO MAKE CAR DO THIS WHEN THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS ON THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THEY RETURN THE VEHICLE TO US, WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. EACH TIME, THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT LONGER AND LONGER AND ARE HARDER TO GET TO TURN ON. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4 USED AT 40,000 A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH. SHORTLY AFTER OWNING IT IT STARTED STALLING WHILE IN MOTION OR STOPPED IN GEAR SUCH AS A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN SITTING STILL, COASTING AND SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT LIGHT UP AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE OR JUST ACCELERATED FROM A COAST (SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE SLOWLY MOVING TRAFFIC), THEN I WOULD REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED. IF I WAS ON A HILL GOING UP THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF BACKWARDS. DIES TURNING INTO PARKING LOTS, ETC. I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE BRAKES STOPPED ME IF I APPLIED THEM. HOWEVER, IF I WAS IN THE FORWARD MOVING POSITION, I WOULD JUST THROW IT IN NEUTRAL AND RE-START THE ENGINE WITHOUT PROBLEM. THIS CONCERNED ME, BECAUSE I BUY MY VEHICLES USED, I DID NOT KNOW IF DIRTY INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY WAS CAUSING CARBON RESIDUE TO CLOG THE INJECTORS SO I HAD IT ALL CLEANED. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON THIS SITE AND SPOKE TO THE GUYS THAT DO MY SERVICE. THE RESEARCHED AND FOUND A NOTICE ABOUT SAFETY. I WENT TO JEEP WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS SUCH A NOTICE ABOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE BUT NO RECALL. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND 2 COMPUTER FLASH UPDATES WERE NEEDED. THIS FIXED MY PROBLEM, AT LEAST SINCE LATE NOVEMBER 2007. *TR

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN WHEN STEPPING ON GAS. MOST OFTEN IN THE 1200-1500 RPM RANGE. VEHICLE TRIES TO STAY ON SAME GEAR AND IS NOT SHIFTING E.G. FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH. IF GAS PEDAL IS STEPPED ON ALL THE WAY, VEHICLE SHIFTS DOWN 2 GEARS, E.G. FROM 5TH TO 3RD, AND SPIKES UP TO 6000 RPM. THIS TAKES ABOUT 1.5. SECONDS, LEADING TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN CHANGING LANES, ENTERING A HIGHWAY, OR SPEEDING AWAY FROM CRITICAL SITUATIONS. ALREADY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SEVERE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. THE SPIKE IN RPM WILL LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WILL BLOW SOON. *TR

DUE TO AN INFORMATION ON A WWW PAGE OF CHRYSLER MY TWO CARS JEEP CHEROKEE GRAND HAVE BRAKES SYSTEM DEFECTS AND ONE OF THEM PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER SUPPLY LINE.
