2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

MY JEEP TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND KEEPS BLOWING FILTER OFF OR SPLITTING THEM...WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH..MY VEHICLE JOLTS AS IF I HAVE SLAMMED THE GEARS IN PARK...THIS COULD RESULT IN MAJOR INJURY IF THE WHEELS LOCK WHILE IM GOING THAT RATE OF SPEED...AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY CONSUMERS WHO HAVE 05 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO DENY THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION...I HAVE FOUND MANY CONSUMERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, SHIFT SOLENOID, AND THE FILTERS FOR THE TRANSMISSION.. THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED...THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME...WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD...OR PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC....I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL CRASH OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL CRASH INTO ME IN THE EVENT THAT MY TRANSMISSION FAILS AGAIN...I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 6 TIMES OVER 3 YEARS NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING...I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS MATTER INVESTIGATED WITH CHRYSLER, LLC SO THAT THEY MAY RECALL THE PRODUCTS AND TAKE THE TIME TO REPAIR THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS.. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 JEEP(WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK)ON A FRIDAY EVENING MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS WENT NUTS. THEY FLASHED ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND IT WAS PITCH BLACK-I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT REALLY SLOWLY BUT KEEP ON DRIVING,I HAD ISSUES EARLIER THIS YEAR WITH SOME SHIFTING MODULE.I REALLY GET FREAKED OUT ABOUT THIS STUFF WHEN MY DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR BUT IT WAS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND .THEN MONDAY COMES. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS NOT MY FRONT LIGHTS BUT IT WAS THE DASHBOARD AGAIN FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. I CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I HAVE A POWER-TERRAIN WARRANTY I THOUGHT IT MY BE COVERED. BUT I NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED-NOT EASY IN DECEMBER RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS A "POP" OR "LOCK" WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE BACK. ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKING???AND AGAIN HAVE TO PAY TO JUST HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. WHAT HAPPEN TO THE PUBLIC CALLING AND EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND THE TECH SAYING"OH I KNOW WHAT THAT IS"OR "YEA SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BLANK IS LOOSE" I JUST BOUGHT THIS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS AGO AND ALREADY DUMPED OVER $1000 FOR PARTS. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES. DIAMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THESE ISSUES FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO (N/A). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE METAL PIECE THAT COVERED THE GEAR SHIFT BOX BROKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,039.

WE OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD AND AT 35,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MY HUSBAND WAS KIND OF CONCERNED THAT THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK FOR A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE BUT WE HAD IT FIXED AND WENT ON. NOW IT IS THREE YEARS LATER AT 89,000 MILES AND THE SAME PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY WANT US TO PAY 750 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. WE FILED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT US TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED FOR 89.00 AT THEIR DEALER AND THEN THEY WILL DISCUSS WHETHER THEY WILL HELP PAY FOR IT OR NOT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON THE WEB THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. OUR CAR WILL LIGHT UP ALL THE GEARS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY DUE TO THE ENGINE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT GEAR WE ARE IN. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY THAT THEY FIXED IT AND HELPED US THIS TIME BUT IN 2-3 YEARS WE HAVE TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PART. THE GENTLEMAN MY HUSBAND FIRST TALKED TO AT THE DEALER WE CONSULTED BEFORE TALKING WITH CHRYSLER STATED THAT HE HAS ALSO REPLACED THIS SAME PIECE IN HIS CHRYSLER 300 TWICE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON THE CAR FORUMS THAT THE JEEP COMMANDER IS DOING THE SAME THING AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OUT THERE ABOUT THE 05 JEEP CHEROKEE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO PUT THIS PART THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING IN THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS CAUSING ISSUES FOR THE CARS AND I AM NOT CONVINCED I WANT ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THE GEAR SHIFT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PARTS REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN AROUND MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL OR SOMETHING HASN'T BEEN DONE ON THIS PARTICULAR PART. WHY WOULD THEY NOT FIND A NEW WAY TO DO THIS TYPE OF GEAR SHIFT THAT DOESN'T FALL APART IN TWO YEARS OF DRIVING. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A RACE CAR OR EVEN A 4WD. I JUST WANT TO GET HELP IN CASE OTHERS ARE STILL DEALING WITH THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. PERIODICALLY THE CONTACT HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT ON AND OFF AND IT WOULD THEN RESTART RIGHT A WAY INCLUDING RESETTING OF THE COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SHIFTER CONTROL AND A TRANSMISSION MODULE. THE COST FOR THE REPAIRS WERE $1425. THE JEEP MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,600.

RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE THAT RIDES ALONG WHEN SHIFTING BECAME BUNCHED UP AND COULDN'T SHIFT INTO PARK OR DRIVE. HAD TO CUT OUT THE BUNCHED UP PIECE AS CAR WAS IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. THIS RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE IS PART OF THE SHIFTER BEZEL TRIM THAT KEEPS DUST AND DIRT FROM GETTING INTO THE SHIFTER AREA. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS DEALER WANTS $720.00 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR!!??!!?? THIS IS LUDICROUS!!!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE TO THE PARK POSITION BECAUSE THE DUST COVER BROKE INTO PIECES. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 3.7L ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF, LOSING ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WILL START AFTERWARDS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A FEW HOURS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE YEARS. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALL ON THE 2008 GRAND CHEROKEE STALLING AND I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN CHRYSLER WANTS TO ADMIT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A JEEP DEALER WHO RECENTLY RELOCATED IN MY AREA NEXT WEEK. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5.7L AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION AS THE RECALL NOTICE DESCRIBED BELOW. THAT IS, 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES, WHENEVER I TURN ON THE AIRCONDITIONING (PARTICULARLY IN WEATHER ABOVE 90 DEGREES) THE CAR SHUTTERS IF ASKED TO PULL FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS PROBLEM IS PARTICULARLY BAD AND MORE PREDICTABLE TO OCCUR IF REVERSING; I.E., BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. OVER THE LAST 3-4 YEARS, I HAVE ASKED TWO OR THREE DEALERSHIPS TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER, CITING THE RECALL BELOW, BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY MY CAR COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE ADJUSTED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ON THE AIR CONDITIONER -- THIS DID NOT HELP. ----------------- NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V396000 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. ***** THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT. CONSEQUENCE: IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED. *TR
