2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I STARTED TO GET SERVICE 4 WD SYSTEM LIGHT THIS STARTED AFTER I HAD TAKEN VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL ABOUT TRANSFER CASE NEUTRAL PROBLEM. I HAD NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE THIS HAD IT LOOKED AT BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC. HE CHECKED ALL SYSTEMS AND THEY CHECKED OUT OK HE CLEARED ERROR CODE. A DAY OR SO LATER IT RETURNED. HE SAID I SHOULD RETURN TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD TRANSFER CASE RANGE SENSOR. A DEEPER LOOK AND I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME TROUBLE AFTER HAVING FLASH UPDATE FOR RECALL. THIS PART HAS A LARGE BACK ORDER ( I WAS TOLD BY DEALER PART OVER 500 PIECE ) AND THEY COULD ONLY ORDER ONE EVERY 14 DAYS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE ENGINE RPMS DECREASED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT INQUIRED WITH THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING A PREVIOUS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE EXPERIENCED LOW VISIBILITY BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT PROPERLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL SHE NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SWAY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP IT DIES, WE COULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55/60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE JEEP WILL DIE, WE COULD BE DRIVING LOCALLY AT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE JEEP JUST DIES -- WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER MANY TIMES REGARDING THE PROBLEM BUT NOTHING IS DONE -- THEY KEEP ASKING US TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP -- WHEN THE JEEP DIES THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG -- NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, JUST THE RPM DROPS -- WE ARE WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY THAT WHILE DRIVING ON AN HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP DIES THAT SOMEONE HITS US FROM BEHIND AND CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR WORSE -- WE HAVE TOLD CHRYSLER WE WOULD PAY FOR ANY WORK THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS LONG AS THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM -- AFTER THAT STATEMENT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ANY FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE. *TR

I AM WRITING TO DESCRIBE 5 INCIDENTS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR WHEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN MAY 2012, WITH A FOLLOW UP INSTANCE IN JUNE 2012. AFTER BRINGING THIS INTO THE DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE MALFUNCTIONING AND THEY REPLACED. 6 MONTHS LATER, VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT CAUSE. VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN OCTOBER 2013 WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ROUGHLY 20 MPH, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SHUT DOWN AT 70 MPH IN LATE OCTOBER 2013. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVED THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE (AFTER I TOLD THEM THE FIX TO THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE DID NOT WORK). DEALERSHIP ALSO ADVISED THAT A RECALL ON THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE FOR ISSUES EXACTLY AS I DESCRIBED WAS IN PLACE FOR 2008 GRAND CHEROKEES, BUT NOT MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WITH CHRYSLER, VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DEC 4 2007 - DEC 11 2007 WERE IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED DEC 3RD. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL BUT AGREED TO PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR COST. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT ANY OF THE FIVE TIMES THAT MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THIS RECALL BUT WAS NOT. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR OTHER DRIVERS OF A 2008 GRAND CHEROKEE THAT FIT A SIMILAR DESCRIPTION OF MINE - CLOSE TO MANUFACTURER DATE OF RECALL BUT NOT QUITE THERE BUT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE SERVICED FOR THE N23 RECALL, THE SERVICE 4WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR HAS BEEN COMING ON AND I NO LONGER HAVE 4 LOW. IT IS AT THE SERVICE CENTER AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE RECALL IS EITHER NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY OR ISN'T AN ADEQUATE FIX TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND IS CREATING I UNINTENDED PROBLEMS. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE 56K MILES ON A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HEMI 8CYLINDER I DO NOT DO ANY OFF ROADING I AM TOLD TODAY THAT I NEED AN UPPER DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING INSULATOR AND PINION SEALS WHICH ARE LEAKING. THESE PRODUCTS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 56K IN MILES AND ARE A CONSIDERABLE COST TO THE CONSUMER FOR A 5 YEAR OLD JEEP. THERE ARE SEVERAL BULLETINS OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT JEEP DID NOT CONSIDER HELPING ME BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF MY 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT ENOUGH FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. PLEASE SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR A RECALL ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

JEEP STALLS WHEN TRAVELING. MOSTLY HAS OCCURRED WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT BUT DID STALL ONCE AT SPEED ON THE WEST SIDE HIGHWAY IN NEW YORK CITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ANY HELP. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING A LOT OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AS IT IS WELL WRITTEN ON THE INTERNET FORUMS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ON JEEP STALL OR HEMI STALL REVEALS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR
