2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4 USED AT 40,000 A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH. SHORTLY AFTER OWNING IT IT STARTED STALLING WHILE IN MOTION OR STOPPED IN GEAR SUCH AS A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN SITTING STILL, COASTING AND SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT LIGHT UP AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE OR JUST ACCELERATED FROM A COAST (SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE SLOWLY MOVING TRAFFIC), THEN I WOULD REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED. IF I WAS ON A HILL GOING UP THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF BACKWARDS. DIES TURNING INTO PARKING LOTS, ETC. I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE BRAKES STOPPED ME IF I APPLIED THEM. HOWEVER, IF I WAS IN THE FORWARD MOVING POSITION, I WOULD JUST THROW IT IN NEUTRAL AND RE-START THE ENGINE WITHOUT PROBLEM. THIS CONCERNED ME, BECAUSE I BUY MY VEHICLES USED, I DID NOT KNOW IF DIRTY INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY WAS CAUSING CARBON RESIDUE TO CLOG THE INJECTORS SO I HAD IT ALL CLEANED. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I STARTED RESEARCHING ON THIS SITE AND SPOKE TO THE GUYS THAT DO MY SERVICE. THE RESEARCHED AND FOUND A NOTICE ABOUT SAFETY. I WENT TO JEEP WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS SUCH A NOTICE ABOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE BUT NO RECALL. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND 2 COMPUTER FLASH UPDATES WERE NEEDED. THIS FIXED MY PROBLEM, AT LEAST SINCE LATE NOVEMBER 2007. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FAILED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. HE BELIEVED THAT THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY STOP. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THREE DEALERS APPROXIMATELY FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS REPLACED MOST RECENTLY, BUT THIS MAY NOT HAVE CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 02-25-08 *BF THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED A MALFUNCTION OF THE HEATED SEATS, FAN MOTOR AND BRAKING SYSTEM. UPDATED.

DEALER CARL BURGER DODGE AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF A DEFECTIVE 4WD WARNING LIGHT (CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 21-014-06 REV A DATED NOV. 2, 2006), THAT WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE ON DECEMBER 12, 2007, THEY DEMANDED TO CHARGE ME $75.00 (WHICH I ACTUALLY PAID). I OBJECTED AND RAISED THE ISSUE WITH BOTH THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE SERVICE MANAGER. THEY CLAIMED BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS SLIGHTLY BEYOND 36,000 MILES (37,912 MILES TO BE EXACT), THEY HAD NO OBLIGATION TO DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THIS IS WRONG AS A MATTER OF LAW. *TR

ON MANY OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND MY WHEELS LOCK UP. IT MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING AT A SLOW SPEED...BUT ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. I HAVE SENT MY CAR IN TO 2 DIFFERENT 5 STAR CHRYSLER REPAIR PLACES...BOTH OF THESE PLACES HAVE STATED THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND THUS COULD NOT FIX MY CAR. *TR

WE BOUGHT AN 04' JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AT JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE OF WARWICK, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. WE TOOK IT DOWN FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS CAP. THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND HAD A HARD TIME STARTING. WE TRADED IT IN AT THE SAME PLACE 1 MONTH LATER FOR AN 06 JEEP WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. SHORTLY AFTER THIS PURCHASE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES. WE TOOK IT FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THAT NOISE. AFTER THAT THE BATTERY DIED AND THEY TOWED IT THERE AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. NOW WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP STALLING OUT WHEN WE ARE PARKED OR AT AN IDLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS CAME LOOSE FROM THE WELD BREAKING. NOW IT IS HITTING THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL AND IS CHIPPING PAINT. ALL FOUR DOORS ARE COMING AWAY FROM THE WELDS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL OF THE PASSENGERS. WE BROUGHT IT DOWN FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT THE DOORS AND THEY KEPT PUTTING US OF BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A LONER CAR, OR THAT THE MANAGER WAS NOT THERE, OR THAT THERE BODY SHOP WAS NOT AVAILABLE. NOW THEY SAY THAT WE NEVER BROUGHT IT DOWN TO SHOW THEM. EVERY TIME WE BROUGHT IT TO THEM THEY NEVER PUT IT IN THE SHOP AND MADE EXCUSES FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. THEY NEVER PUT IN THERE COMPUTER THAT WE CAME TO THEM, WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND DENY THAT WE HAD ANY. THE ONE TIME WHEN THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY WE PICKED IT UP WITH ALMOST 150 EXTRA MILES ON IT. WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE DEALERS SERVICE AND THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT WOULD FLICKER AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM FOR APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SECONDS. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,151. UPDATED 10/18/07 *TR

PREVIOUS REFERENCE # 10190692 TODAY WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT APPROX 1:00 PM MY CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN UNCONTROLABLE AND THE STEERING JERKED ME TO THE LEFT WHICH CAUSED ME TO BE IN ANOTHER LANE AND I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. ALSO, ONCE AGAIN MY DASH LIGHTS WERE COMPLETELY OUT WHICH INLCUDED MY SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TEMP & FUEL - EVERYTHING WAS BLACK & I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS AND MY AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT BLOW ANY AIR AT ALL - THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THE RADIO AND MY POWER WINDOWS. ONCE AGAIN I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAME OUT AND TOWED MY VEHICLE TO BUCHANAN AUTO PARK. I'VE SINCE THEN SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE LOOKING INTO A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AND I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AND THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO TRY TO HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING APPROX 15 MILES AN HOUR IN LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC IN HAGERSTOWN, MD 21740. I EXPLAINED BEFORE THAT IF I WERE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 50 + MPH I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE VERY WORSE AND MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS COULD BE INJURED. I REALLY THINK THAT THIS NEEDS CHECKED INTO. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND OTHRE INNOCENT DRIVERS.

I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE 2007 WRANGLER AND NITROS. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD LOSS OF ENGINE POWER SEVERAL TIMES, SIMILAR TO RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE. MOST TIMES IT WOULD NOT STALL, BUT IF AT SLOW SPEEDS OR AT A STOP THE ENGINE WOULD COMPLETELY QUIT. ONE TURN OF THE KEY WOULD START IT UP AGAIN. NOW THAT I SAW SIMILAR SYMPTOMS BEING RECALLED FOR ANOTHER JEEP I WANTED TO FILE A FORMAL NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE I OR ANOTHER PERSON ENDED UP STALLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND GETTING HURT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS WHEN I FIRST HAD A FULL STALL.*AK
