2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER. IT WAS LIKE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SENSE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY OF 2011. WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN I HAVE NO POWER, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOTHING. *TR

A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I WAS ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM A HALF AN HOUR DRIVE FROM TOWN WHEN I DECIDED TO STOP AT MY PARENTS HOUSE TO GET A DRINK. I WASN'T INSIDE FOR LESS THEN TEN MINUTES, WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE MY JEEP WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER A HALF HOUR LATER LOOKING EVERYTHING OVER I DID NOTICE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WAS MELTED AND BLOWN. I WAS ASKED BYE AMERICAN CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IF I HAD SOMETHING PLUGGED INTO MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER THAT COULD OF BLOWN IT. I'VE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 11 YEARS NOW AND I'VE NEVER KNOWN TO SEE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE RAN TO OTHER COMPONENTS MEANING INTERIOR OUTLETS. NOW A HALF YEAR LATER I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP AT TIMES AND HAVING NO POWER TO THE MOTOR AT ALL. I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS JEEP. NOW I HAD A RECALL ON THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH AND JUST TODAY I GET ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. I KEEP HAVING AXEL POPPING SOUNDS OUT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND I'M FED UP WITH THIS JEEP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL ALL COME ON SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE CAR. OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS (RADIO, ODOMETER) STOP BUT ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. CAN STEER AND BRAKE BUT DIFFICULT. NO ERROR MESSAGES RECEIVED. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING OVER THE PAST 9 MONTHS. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR BUT CANNOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

BROKEN CAR DOOR HANDLE/PANEL ON BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS. DRIVER SIDE IS GETTING SO BAD, I AM CONCERNED AND NERVOUS THAT ANY DAY NOW, I WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS AND WAS INFORMED THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER "EXTENDED WARRANTY" AND COST WOULD BE OVER $1000 TO REPLACE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL AND THAT'S JUST FOR ONE DOOR. EXCEPT FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH IS BEYOND MY CONTROL, I KEEP MY VEHICLE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IT HAS VERY LOW MILES, BUT THE UNSIGHTLY DOOR HANDLE/PANELS JUST MAKES THE APPEARANCE OF MY JEEP LOOK LIKE TRASH BESIDES THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOW BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THREE OF FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN, FIRST TWO BEING RARELY USED DOORS. THIS IS A FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. COST TO REPAIR EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FROM MANUFACTURER. *TR

WHEN EXITING VEHICLE, DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, MAKING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. *TR

DOOR HANDLES ON ALL 4 DOORS ARE COMING APART. THE CHROME LEVER IS BREAKING THE PLASTIC MOLD. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LEVER IS TOTALLY BROKE OFF SO THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT IS A DEFINITE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I SMELLED ANTIFREEZE ON MY 2 MONTH OLD USED 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD. IT APPEARS THE TRANSMISSION SEAL IS LEAKING. OR TRANSFER CASE. I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT REALLY? I JUST GOT THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR WITH LIGHTS ON THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND THEN GO OUT. I TURN THEM OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEP'S. I FEEL JEEP NEEDS TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE AND SOLUTION IS FOR THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

MY JEEP HAS CONSTANT FLICKER OF DASH LIGHTS AND ACTING LIKE IT IS GONNA STALL . CAN'T HAVE RADIO ON IF LIGHTS ARE ON OR AIR IF LIGHTS ARE ON BECAUSE I GET THE FLICKER AND FEELING OF STALLING.WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A CHARGE OF 100.00 $ AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT. REALLY..ITS GETTING TO BE A PIECE OF CRAP THAT WE GET BLOWN OFF ABOUT THIS! *TR
