2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE SEAT BELT FIRST STARTED NOT BUCKLING UNLESS I PUSHED DOWN THE RED BUTTON. THEN IT BEGIN TO CHIME WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED. THE BUCKLE MUST BE HELD A CERTAIN WAY FOR IT NOT TO CHIME WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALER IS CHARGING APPROXIMATELY $900-$975 TO REPLACE BOTH SEAT BELTS. THIS SHOULD BECOME A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY ISSUE PLUS LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM THAT ALL THE RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE. I HAVE A SERVICE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT NOW. THE JEEP SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AT RANDOM TIMES. RIGHT AFTER IT IS STARTED AND DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS A USED JEEP THAT I BOUGHT IN DEC. 2016. SHORTY AFTER I BOUGHT THE JEEP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING AN EMISSION CODE AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION QUIT WORKING. THE TRANSFER CONTROL QUIT WORKING AFTER THEY WORKED ON IT. I NO LONGER HAVE 4-WHEEL LOW OR CAN I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL. BUT IT SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE NO CONTROL ON IF OR WHEN IT WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SO I GUESS AT THIS POINT I HAVE YARD ART. THE DEALER JUST WANTS TO THROW PARTS AT IT UNTIL ITS FIXED. THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP. OR WE DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THE JEEP BUT WE WILL FIX IT TO THE TUNES OF THOUSANDS OF $

COUPLING BETWEEN OUTPUT SHAFT ON TRANSMISSION AND INPUT SHAFT ON POWER TRANSFER SHAFT INPUT FAILED UNDER REGULAR USE STRIPPING INPUT SPLINE ON PTO AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THE AUTO WAS MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A GREEN TRAFFIC SIGNAL

I HAD MY IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AS A RESULT OF RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 NEARLY A YEAR AGO. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME DASH LIGHTS FLASHING AND BLOWER NOT WORKING PROBLEM AS OTHERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. TODAY AFTER PARKING, I DEPRESSED THE KEY SWITCH TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF (THE NEWLY DESIGNED SWITCH MUST BE PRESSED IN FOR IT TO TURN) AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND BLOWER STOPPED. RELEASING THE SWITCH RETURNED THE DASH LIGHTS TO NORMAL. DEPRESSING THE KEY CAUSED THE LIGHTS TO TURN ON AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO REPEAT THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STOPPED. OBVIOUSLY THE NEW KEY SWITCH DESIGN IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE DASH LIGHT PROBLEM AS WELL. I WILL BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE KEY SWITCH REPLACED AGAIN.

I WAS TRAVELING TO MY DAUGHTERS WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT. CROSSED CENTER LINE, HIT GUARD RAIL AND ROLLED THREE TIMES DOWN THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE COMING. MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FIRE WAS WEDGED IN THE GUARD RAIL. I WAS UPSIDE DOWN AND MANAGED TO UNDO MY SEAT BELT AND CRAWL OUT BACK BROKEN WINDOW. THE MAN BEHIND ME WROTE A LETTER TELLING ME HOW HE WAS JUST FOLLOWING ME AND I JUST LOST CONTROL, HE'S THE ONE WHO CALLED 911 AND SAID HE WAS CHECKING FOR "SURVIVORS". THIS WAS A SUNNY JUNE MORNING, NOTHING ON THE ROAD. ITS LIKE THE JEEP HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. AFTER SURGERY ON MY SHOULDER AND TRYING TO GET BACK TO WORK, I WAS FORCED TO GO ON DISABILITY. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS RECALL YEARS AGO. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED BECAUSE OF IT. THE JEEP WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF COURSE.THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 MILES WEST OF IRON RIVER, MI ON US-2. THIS WHOLE THING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER.
