2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

MY PREGNANT WIFE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE WITH THE CAR AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ANYONE BEING ABLE TO FIX IT. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 15-60 MPH THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, OR ELECTRICAL. YOU HAVE TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL AND START IT BACK UP. THIS HAS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS OTHER QUIRKY THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AS WELL SUCH AS THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THE VOLUME AND STATIONS SELECTORS ON THE STEERWHEEL OFTEN DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT JEEP NEEDS TO IDENTIFY AND FIX. VERY SCARY TO BE GOING 50-60 MPH AND LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AS WELL AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. JEEP NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OCCASIONALLY. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. PUT IN PARK STARTS RIGHT UP. 4.7 ENGINE. *TR

RE: SAFETY RECALL M35/NHTSA 12V-527 I RECEIVED THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL NOTICE 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE CALLED THE KEY WEST DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO ARRANGE TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS STILL TRYING TO RESOLVE THE TECHNICAL ISSUE. TODAY I CALLED THE MARION, NC DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WOULD ONLY ALLOW THEM TO FIX ONE PER WEEK AND THAT THEY HAD 6 AHEAD OF ME. MEANTIME I AM DRIVING A MY JEEP VEHICLE WITH THE SERVICE AIRBAG ICON LIT UP. I CAN'T WAIT 6-8 WEEKS TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE. I AM CONCERNED THE DRIVER AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE SIMULTANEOUSLY DECELERATED AND ENGAGED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE MOMENTARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130000.

MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LARDEO HAS ALL THE SAME ISSUES AS LISTED BY EVERY OTHER JEEP OWNER. THE ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE DASH BOARD AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. SOMETIMES WE START SOMETIMES WE DONT. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC , MAYBE IT WILL GO, MAYBE IT WONT. I HAVE LOST MY BRAKES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS WELL. NOW THE JEEP SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY AS IT WONT START AT ALL, AND OF COARSE NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT AS USUAL ! NOTHING LIKE PAYING FOR A DEAD HORSE ! I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ONLY TO BE TOLD THESE ARE NOT "SAFETY" ISSUES. GOOD LORD WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A DECENT VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE AND RELIABLE ? I GUESS THAT WOULD BE NOT BUYING ANYTHING CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP IN THE FUTURE IS THE ROUTE I WILL TAKE ! I ONLY HOPE WHEN ONE OF THESE TICKING BOMBS FAIL, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARENT ON THE ROAD THAT DAY !

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND DECIDED TO TURN ON THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I DID THE JEEP ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS GOING 75. THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF USING THE OFF BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF. AT THAT TIME THE GAS PEDAL POPPED BACK UP. OVER THE NEXT WEEK, I ATTEMPTED TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE SPEED EXCELLED ON ITS OWN TO DANGEROUS SPEEDS, AND THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE ASKED A COUPLE OF MECHANICS TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM. THEY SAID THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD THEM DISCONNECT THE CRUISE CONTROL. I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED, BUT NO SEEMS TO KNOW THE PROBLEM. *TR

DASH WARNING LIGHTS ALL COME ON. VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND LOOSES POWER. DID NOT STALL BUT SEEMED LIKE IT ALMOST DID. THEN ALL POWER CAME BACK AND LIGHTS GO OFF. ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE MAIN COMPUTER RESETS. HAS DONE IT 6 TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS. MECHANIC CHECKED IT AND SAID THERE WERE NO CODES AND COULD NO DUPLICATE WHILE AT THE SHOP. FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE SINCE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT & AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SENSORS - PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION & DEALER STATED THAT SEATBELT 'TENSIONER' SENSOR TIED TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT VELOCITY WAS MALFUNCTIONING ($278.00 PLUS $115.00 LABOR TO REPLACE). . DEALER WON'T REPLACE (OUT OF WARRANTY), NEITHER WILL JEEP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V175000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 12/24/13*LJ

LIKE OTHERS VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS. AT RANDOM TIMES, TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE NEVER COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. UNTIL, I TOOK IT THERE FOR AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND TO CHECK OUT THE STEERING. WHILE HE WAS TEST DRIVING THE CAR, IT STALLED ON HIM AND STILL COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM, MY LIGHTS FLICKER ON THE INSIDE, DASH OVER HEAD LIGHT ALL INSIDE LIGHTS, AT NIGHT WHEN I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON, TILL I TURN THEM VERY LOW AND STILL FLICKERS BUT CAN'T NOTICE IT AS MUCH, INSIDE LIGHTS DON'T TURN ON AT ALL WHEN I TRY TO SWITCH THEM ON AS WELL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS STAYED AND BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, MY MECHANIC RAN A TEST ON THAT AS AIR BAG IS FINE BUT LIGHT STAYS ON. I KNOW THERE WHERE RECALLS SO I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER ANY OF THE RECALLS. NOW MY ABS AND ESP/BAS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ARE ON. AT FIRST THEY CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHEN WENT TO SLOW DOWN MY BREAKS RATTLED, THE LIGHTS CAME ON THEN WENT OFF. NOW THEY HAVE BEEN ON AND WON'T TURN OFF. AND MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AS WELL SAME TIME. THERE SEEMS TO BE NOTHING THAT COMES UP WHILE RUNNING TEST AND STUFF. MY CAR HAS 115756 MILES ON IT AND THESE PROBLEMS KEEP HAPPENING. ALSO WHEN I START IT THE CAR IDEALS ROUGH AND WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT TRIED AND REPLACED PARTS AND STILL DOES IT. I LOVE MY JEEP AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FOUND OUT AND FIX I'M ALMOST DONE PAYING IT OFF AND WANT TO KEEP IT BUT IT SCARES ME THAT IT'S COULD STALL ANY MOMENT RANDOMLY. *JB
