Transmission Slip Out Of Gear problems of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

After purchasing this car pre-owned in 2008 we began having issues with the transmission shifting. After bringing back into dealership for diagnostic testing, they found nothing. This went on for a period of two years, with them even keeping the car over a period of time. Still nothing on the diagnostics. Throughout the years we would notice a strong downshift when coming to stops and a "chug" when shifting out of low gears. Fast forward to 2018. The Jeep finally quit shifting out of first gear. . . The rpms would race up and the car just wouldn't sift even when using shifter stick manually to the + or -. Brought to local mechanic. Did diagnostics. Found shifter was broken and replaced and reset. A few days went by and it started happening again. Mechanic said that rear wheel sensor had gone bad and was throwing of computer brain of car, so we had him replace that. All was great. Husband takes car on short trip and while passing a car in the left lane on interstate 10 it once aging chugs down hard and he loses gears. . . Has to pull over on side of interstate, shut off car and restart to get it to shift again. Bottom line is there has to be a long standing issue with drive/power train & electrical/computer brain!!! we have kept this car in great working order, regularly changing fluids and maintenancing. There is no reason this care should be behaving in this manner @ 12 years old, regularly maintained unless there is an outstanding issue with 2006 Jeeps. It has to be an overall problem and after reading many of the complaints we believe this warrants an investigation and defintely a recall!!! all of the above issues happened in both city street and highway situations and while the vehicle was in motion.

My Jeep has been slipping out of gear while driving frequently and all the car does is rev, as if it is in neutral. This has happened off and on over the last two years and nothing has been done about it. I have taken it to the dealership multiple times and they tell me that everything is fixed. Then it happens again when I least expect it. It is very dangerous for this to be happening while I'm driving with my 2 year old daughter in the car. I called the Chrysler recall number and they told me that I was not included in the recall and to just take it to the dealership, which I have already done several times and am tired of wasting my money. This is happening to my car and I don't want to wait until an accident happens. I will continue to log complaints and document each time this happens until something is done.

My vehicle started originally slowing down like it slipped out of gear. I was told I needed a new transmission but when I replaced it I still had the same exact problem with the vehicle staying in limp mode and check engine light on, rpm running high and not going into overdrive. The transmission is not shifting correctly after spending over $1500. 00 on it. From my research I have arrived at the esm to be causing the problem with the vehicle not indicating what gear for the transmission to shift into. I have called the Jeep corporate office and even though they know that the transmission needed a repair when I first bought it with 17,000 miles on it they still did not feel they were responsible for my transmission problems. To me that are just avoiding the fact that this is a manufacture issue with either poor design, construction or quality of parts. I had a 1994 amigo that I put 280,000 miles on and I never once had any type of transmission issue. This is a 2006 vehicle this is the poorest experience I have ever had with a vehicle.

I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 2 months ago while driving the vehicle without warning the vehicle looses power. It seems to drop out of gear. The vehicle cannot accelerate and you have to pull over and hope it will kick back in gear. I spoke with another 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee owner and the exact same thing happens to him and also one of his friends. I went to edmunds. Com and it seems this is a wide spread problem. We contacted Jeep and they said sorry it is out of warranty. This is not an isolated safety problem. I hope you can protect the american citizen from the sale and future use of faulty automobiles. These vehicle problems should be address before people die. Thank you.
