2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND KEEPS BLOWING FUSES AFFECTING RIGHT SIDE FRONT AND REAR MARKER LIGHTS (TAIL LIGHT AND FRONT MARKER LIGHT RIGHT SIDE ONLY) REPLACE THE FUSE AND IT MAY LAST A DAY OR IT MAY LAST A FEW MONTHS, I SEE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FLICKERING AND I THINK IT'S A SHORT, THE FAN RELAY FOR THE HEATER MOTOR KEPT BLOWING AND AFTER REPLACING IT TWICE AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CONNECTOR HARNESS (BAD SOLDER JOB AT THE CONNECTOR) BURNT SO BAD I'M SURPRISED IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE!! IN MOTION AND PARKED.

RECENTLY BOUGHT OUR JEEP AND HAVE DIMMING LIGHTS DUE TO LOW IDLE AND ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STARTING IT. THERE ARE TIMES IT WONT START UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED 5 MINS LATER AND THAT'S AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRE HARNESS FROM THE BATTERY. THE LOW IDLE IS MAKING THE LIGHTS DIM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THAT IT NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THAT CAN COST ROUGHLY 1000 WHICH I DONT HAVE. MY WIFE ALSO SAID WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HOME THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ON HER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SHE SAID SHE PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK IN GEAR AND THEN IT ACTED FINE.

DOOR PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE NOT WORKING. MAKING EMERGENCY EVACUATION IMPOSSIBLE POSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE GEAR BOX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE GEAR SUDDENLY SLIPPED OUT OF FIFTH INTO FIRST GEAR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK AND BRAKE SUDDENLY, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER (RIVERHEAD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 642 W MAIN ST, RIVERHEAD, NY 11901, (631) 727-1040) AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. *TT*JB

I HAVE DID A TUNE UP AND CLEANED THE OIL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND CHECK GAS CAP WON'T GO AWAY AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES OF CHANGING IT MY WHEELS AND STRUTS ARE DAMAGED

RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE DRIVER SEAT BOUNCES. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT. IT IS THE CLOTH BUCKET SEAT WITH POWER ADJUSTMENT. THE FRONT ADJUSTING GEAR OF THE SEAT HAS STRIPPED AND A SPRING NOW BOUNCES THE SEAT.

IGNITION KEY FAILURE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH LOCKS. VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT FREQUENT AND IN FREQUENT TIMES. VEHICLE SEEMS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A KEY IN THE IGNITION. DEALER HAS LOOKED AT AND REPLACED ON PREVIOUS RECALL. PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ISSUE! VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND STATIONARY. DOES NOT START WHEN KEY IS INSERTED AND VEHICLE IS PARKED.

THE VEHICLE STARTS UP GREAT NO ISSUES, THEN WITHIN 5 SECONDS CUTS IT'S SELF OFF. NO SPUTTERING OR CHOKING, IT'S NOT STALLING, THE COMPUTER IS TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 OUT OF 3 TIMES STARTING IT AND SOMETIMES IF YOU KEEP STARTING IT IT WILL EVENTUALLY STAY IN, BUT OTHER TIMES IT LEAVES YOU STRANDED. THERE ARE 100S OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE BUT JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE PCM (OVER $2,000) REPAIR AND NOW WANT TO REPLACE 2 COMPONENTS FEEDING INTO THE PCM BC THE ISSUE PERSISTS BUT WON'T GUARANTEE THE FIX. I BELIEVE ME AND OTHERS DESERVE TO HAVE JEEP ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS, THAT LEAVES THEIR DRIVERS STRANDED AND VULNERABLE.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS LEAVING A STORE AT NIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE JEEP THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WAS ON I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF NOTHING HAPPENED THEY WERE STUCK ON THEN I REALIZED I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS EITHER. WHEN I WENT INSIDE THE STORE THE BRIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS AND MY BRIGHT LIGHTS STUCK ON ABOUT 10 MIN INTO MY DRIVE EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND I TURNED LEFT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY EVERYTHING INSIDE THE JEEP WENT BLACK I LOST ALL INTERIOR POWER GAUGES, INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, AC, LIGHTS AND FANS THE JEEP STUTTERED BUT KEPT RUNNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED EVERYTHING CAME BACK ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. JUST NOW WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN IT HAPPENED AGAIN EVERYTHING INSIDE THE JEEP DIED AGAIN AND CAME BACK ON ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY IGNITION RECALL DONE ALSO SINCE THE RECALL WAS DONE HALF THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO START THE JEEP IT WILL JUST MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AND I HAVE TO TURN IT OVER A FEW TIMES AND HOLD THE KEY IN THE START POSITION UNTIL IT WILL FINALLY START.
