general problems of the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The check engine light gives a code ( signal loss from cps and ckps) can't accelerate without backfire and missing. Sometimes when crossing r/r tracks the engine will die it starts back up after you wiggle the 3 main connectors.

The ecm is malfunctioning causing vehicle to stall and misfire at any speed mainly when accelerating making it hard to keep under control safely.

"takata recall" my driver's seat has been replace once, at my own expense, due the seat becoming extremely "wobbly" and being broken from the bease frame and frame under seat. I was on highway driving when the seat first became slightly unstable, had I unfornatunately been struck from the rear, I would've been violently thrown forward. I have researched this matter and found that there had been a recall for the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo wj, yet I found nothing on this site. It costs me $600, which is a lot for a disabled veteran. But my safety comes first. Please look into this.

Jeep accelerated without stepping on gas. Accelerator cable did not seem to operate smoothly, when applying, felt somewhat "rough/nothy" owner agreed to change as suggested. Cable changed total $477. 39 in 5/2010. This time car was towed to Jeep dealer. C. Stated Jeep accelerated on its own, towed in. Jan. 13,11 Jeep towed in to Jeep dealer for bucking and accelerating on its own, no issue was found. May 13,11 towed into Jeep dealer, changed several components and $1,074. 68, never had a definite answer, and after each incident took its toll on my nerves, scared to death to drive my Jeep, which I purchased to make our family safe. Fast forward, 11/23/2015 this Jeep once again started accelerating and racing in park and with the hand brake up. My Jeep has 64,k and is taken care of, looks great. But, once again I cannot risk putting my family or myself in it to drive. I have found numerous stories like this and some a lot worse. My instincts were to just shut the engine off and I did all4 times over the years. I am now on a fixed income and would love to be happy and keep this Jeep grand cheroee but, I can no longer take this chance. I would love to know how many people must die or how many accidents have to happen before Chrysler wakes up and recalls, I'm guessing they don't really know what to fix. I also had problems with my tail lights and had repairs several time, when I got a ticket after it was already fixed a few times I had to pay. Failed NJ inspection 1 time due to what they called a wig wag, which Jeeps are know for, who out there is on the consumers side, no one it appears. No recalls on this this but, they will get back to me on a passenger restraint module, maybe next year 2016, if we are lucky. All 4 times the vehicle was being driven and the only thing that worked was shutting off the engine using the key. My vehicle must be safe for grandchild.

I wanted to advise you that the consent order signed on 7/24/15 with fca us llc and NHTSA might have some problems in its implementation . I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that according to attachment b, #15 on page 33 should be eligible for an unrestricted $100. 00 gift card upon inspection at a dealership. I called Jeep at 1(800) 992-1997 and was told I was not eligible for the $100. 00 gift card. I just wanted to let you know about a possible non-compliance issue with the consent order.

While driving the vehicle experienced a power loss except for the electrical system. I was unable to control my speed and lost power steering. After 5 seconds, while coasting to a stop, the vehicle resumed full power. Since the first occurance, it has become more frequent (up to twice a week). In addition, the vehicle will not start randomly and requires a few minutes wait time before a successful start.

The 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee seat track has a weak point on the rear scissor assembly. When you start to notice a wobble or click it means one of the tiny connecting pieces has broken. Eventually the other side will also break allowing you to lift the entire seat up. The seat bracket that connects the seat to the floor of the Jeep cracked. I started to do research and found out that this a very common issue and have caused many accidents. I have looked into getting the issue fixed and found it to be very difficult. I have found two web sites that list complaints from other people that this has happened to. I really feel that this is a safety issue and something needs to be done. . Read more...

2004 Jeep cherokee, twice now the fuse to the fuel injector has blown within a month rendering the car undrivable. Going down the road the car cuts off, you cannot steer it, and the brakes seem not to work well at all, you practically have to stand on them. This nearly got me hit today going through a red light. The first time it happened, I was going down a hill and barely got the car stopped before hitting a tree. I had it towed to a mechanic, he changed the fuse and thought that it was ok, until today. Two years ago, the wiring to the windows and door locks quit working and had to pay to have that replaced, there is definitely something not right with these vehicles. Years ago, I had an acceleration problem, got stuck, finally got control of it, and the check engine light stayed on, took it to the dealership, they said they couldn't find anything wrong, never could tell me why the check engine light had come on after this occurring.
