2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO GEAR TO DRIVE HOWEVER UPON PARKING WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK WILL ONLY OPERATE IN REVERSE NEUTRAL OR DRIVE NO LOW GEARS AS WELL

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5.7 HEMI WITH APPROX. 118,000 MILES. DRIVING ABOUT 10MPH IN A PARKING LOT, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE FOR A STOP SIGN. WHEN I WENT TO GO I GOT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION THEN THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED UP AND I LOST ALL PROPULSION POWER. I HAD ROLL TO A STOP, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN START UP AGAIN TO GET THINGS WORKING CORRECTLY WHILE IN DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 2 OTHER TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR PROPULSION.

DURING RAIN STORMS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE FLOODED WITH WATER. THIS HAS RUINED CARPET IN VEHICLE AND WILL PROBABLY RUST THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. - VEHICLE STATIONERY IN DRIVEWAY OF HOME. THE SAFETY BELTS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE NOT WORKING - DO NOT SECURE UNLESS YOU PUSH DOWN HARD TO ENGAGE THE BELT INTO LOCK MODE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN I HAVE TO MANUALLY ENGAGE THE BELT HOOK INTO THE LOCK. I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE IN MOTION AT TIME. WHEN I START THE ENGINE , VEHICLE STILL IN PARK MODE, IT ACCELERATES IN HIGH MODE WITHOUT STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. ON A CITY STREET.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIME GO OFF COMPLETELY WHILE AUTO IF BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PERFORMED AND ALSO HAVE HAD THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TWICE BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH UNRELIABLE LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE FUEL PUMP, STARTER, AND CRANK SENSOR WERE ALL REPLACED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AIRPORT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (5751 EAGLE VAIL DRIVE, ORLANDO, FL 32822, (407) 541-6200) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE THE OTHER NIGHT IN THE RAIN AND I STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND I HIT A LITTLE BUMP AND MY BRAKES LIKE LOCKED UP IN THE FRONT AND I WENT TO TURN INTO A DRIVE WAY AFTER IT DID THAT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOW TWICE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS!

I TRUCK IS NOT PULLING GOOD, I HAVE TO REALLY STEP ON THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO. EVEN IF IAM NOT GOING UP A HILL, I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS HARD TO MAKE IT GO.

SEAT BELTS WILL NOT LATCH UNLESS RELEASE IS DEPRESSED PRIOR TO INSERTING LATCH. THE CHIME AND LIGHT GO OFF CONTINUOUSLY AS YOU DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS NOT REGISTERING THAT THE SEAT BELT IS BUCKLED.

I HAD RECALL P41 UPDATED TO MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER THE RECALL UPDATE I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP, I WOULD NEED TO PUSH AND TURN THE KEY TO START/STOP THE IGNITION. THIS UPGRADED FUNCTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARD TO GET THE KEY TO TURN. LAST WEEK, WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT WORK 02JUL19, IT TOOK ME OVER 20 MIN. TO GET THE KEY TO TURN BY PUSHING AND TURNING, TO START THE ENGINE. THE SAFETY RECALL P41 IS INEFFECTIVE OR INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. MY VEHICLE KEY TURNED FINE BEFORE THE RECALL AND HAS NOT WORKED WELL SINCE.

RECEIVED 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES OF DRIVING IN THE MORNING. WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE HEAT FOR A WHILE, THE MESSAGE COULD APPEAR BEFORE 10 MILES (SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY). THE FAN TURNS ON AND THERE IS A DEFINITE LAG IN ACCELERATION. ALONG WITH THIS ERROR, I ALSO GET THE 'SERVICE, TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM' MESSAGE CONSISTENTLY. I'VE VISITED MY MECHANIC WITH BOTH ISSUES AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED BY THE NEW BATTERY, BUT THEY ONLY DROVE THE CAR FOR 8 MILES TO ATTEMPT GETTING THE TRANSMISSION HOT, NOR DID THEY PROBABLY HIT A BUMP/POTHOLE TO TRIGGER THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM. THEY'RE PUZZLED AS TO WHY THOSE MESSAGES ARE POPPING UP BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE ANY FURTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR.
