I purchased a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee on 10/14/2017 and on 10/20/2017 on my way from droping my kid off ,coming home my car started to run sluggish so getting off the highway it caught on fire. Was there ever a recall on this car, so I look on the internet and found out that a recall involves 2005 . That the transmission fluid will get too hot cause it boil and eject some of the fluid could come into contact with a hot part of the exhaust and cause an engine according to Jeep recall Grand Cherokee over fire danger web site.

1. Door handles broken on 3 doors 2. Electrical system - lights flickering and completely going out while driving at night. 3. Transmission slips out of gear while driving and will not always change gears. Found where other Grand Cherokee vehicles were recalled for these conditions but not the one I own.
The front headlights and all interior electronics including lights, gauges, radio, etc. Shut off. This happens on initial startup at home and in city parking lots, also acted while the engine has been running in motion. The vehicle has to be turned off and back on repeatedly until lights and electronics begin functioning again.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 w/hemi. Took the Jeep to a dealership for repairs for stalling. They detected a leak from the ac unit and a seal that was letting the water enter the transmission they flushed it refilled it. Look that recalls found a recall number e-13 on a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that stated the same thing cept for if the torque converter is compromised it would be replaced. Call the Chrysler number offered on the website and ask them if there was anything they could do they stated no there was nothing they could do so it's going to be an expense to me because it wasn't stated for the v8 engine it was only stated for the 3. 7 liter engine. This is very troubling because if they didn't detect that and the other vehicles then obviously it's going to cause an accident or something to happen when you lose power throughout your vehicle especially when you're on the highway or even a busy road. I stated to them it is word for word and what was wrong with my car and they still. And being on disability at the moment and trying to pay for these repairs and still paying the car off is very difficult. I would like this issue to be resolved by the Chrysler. If they neglected to see any issues in the v8 model that occurred in the 3. 7 liter engine model there will probably be lawsuits against them. It is frustrating that this is happening and they can't help a Jeep owner out probably will never bite you again. Let's just hope my engine don't catch on fire either. Being afraid to drive a car is not ok expecially when it's the only car you have and you can't afford to repair or buy a new one cuz you're on disability.
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Seems to be there's electrical issue all the dash lights would turn on turn off happened while I was driving on the freeway and had to come to a stop it stalled out it happened when I started up the car and I turned it off and took it to the shop two different times pretty much the same problem first time it has 68 codes reading off of it so they replace my battery the second time the lights will come on and go off and come on and then it wouldn't even go it was undriveable at that point so we took it to the shop and then a month later it's starting all over again I was driving down the road came to a stop light plied the brakes and then all of the sudden the gauges were going crazy. The idol was moving up and down the lights would come on and go off and it's all the lights not just air bag or anything like that it was all the lights. I read on the internet other people been having the same issue it's scary when somebody is explaining the same thing that's going on in your car. It is unknown at this time what this phantom problem is and it's highly dangerous. I also bought this Jeep used and don't know it this was happening beforehand. *have a video but this site won't upload it.
It is unknown at this time what is causing all these lights to come on when the car is turned on and idling. Looked on the internet quite a few other people had experienced the same problem some still couldn't figure out what it was when they took it to the auto mechanic shops. Was wondering if this was part of a recall. This could cause an accident when you lose power and you're driving down the street. This started happening a couple of days ago.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo with 3. 7 liter motor shows all four gears park neutral reverse and drive "prnd" active at the same time and the check engine obdii code u0103 (can bus communication lost with the shifter). This condition reoccurs every 1 to 7 days approximately. While in this mode the vehicle is in limp mode stuck in 2nd gear. I tried to drive it to the dealership twice with this condition on back roads but it will clear after driving for about 5 miles in limp mode. I had the vehicle towed to the Jeep dealership with this condition present. It cleared while they were trying to diagnose problem and they couldn't get it to repeat while driving it with my permission for three weeks. They were unable to diagnose the problem and no repairs were made. I got my vehicle back after three weeks at dealeship and problem reoccurred after two days of driving. Trying to drive this vehicle in limp mode is very dangerous as you cannot exceed about 30 miles per hour causing dangerous conditions to myself and other drivers on roads with speed limits higher than 30 mph. This is a serious safety issue and the dealership can't diagnose the problem. In the meantime I am stuck with a very unsafe vehicle.
While driving the vehicle in drive it slips into gear 3 by itself and when I attempt to accelerate its in limp mode. I always have to pull to the side and shut the vehicle on and restart it several times before it actually shift the ( d ) drive.
On 04/23/2016 I took my vehicle for a recall, p41 / NHTSA 14v-438 today is 7/10/2016 and the vehicle has done the same thing twice, all of a sudden all the lights in the dash board go on I loose power and after a while it starts up again. Like I said before this has happen twice now I lost my cruise control and a service electrical brake system is coming on and engine light. I fear that this is going to cause me to have an accident one day and there for I have been using only secondary roads that don't have much traffic.

Brought vehicle in for oil change (only oil change). Jeep dealer gave back vehicle back with a new ignition stating there was a recall on it without me asking or authorizing them to do so. Now I have a new ignition that is not flush with the dash (sticks out about half an inch) and does not work properly with my original keys. My keys are extremely difficult to go in and out of the ignition and on 2 separate occasions the key was unable to be removed from the ignition resulting in the acc being left on overnight and being forced to take vehicle to dealer in the morning with a dead battery. Dealer states I need to purchase a new key because my keys are original and the ignition they replaced is brand new and are not synced up. The service manager told me it is my problem to purchase new keys for the Jeep that had no issues prior to them replacing the ignition. Called Jeep customer service and they told me I would be given a new key but than put me on hold for 20 minutes and told me it is actually my responsibility to purchase a new key after they changed out my ignition.

Exterior headlights and interior dash lights flicker on and off speratically. This happens while driving, stopped and even when parked.
