Automatic Transmission Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

Vehicle accelerated when put into reverse. Chrysler sent an "independant" inspector, but they will not share the report. In fact, Chrysler lied about conducting the inspection. They told me the inspector could not do an evaluation because the vehicle was "disassembled". The dealer tells me the inspector spent two hours with a service technician and test drove the vehicle. I always get suspicious when someone lies to me. This requires follow up to make sure they are not hiding an unsafe defect in their vehicle.

My 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited w/42,000 miles. Yes . Not a typo . 42,000, orignal owner & "scared to death" to drive this SUV. I have alot of the already problems, that have been reported. Had to pay many, w/my own cash. This SUV schould have came in 1 color "lemon yellow". It is an accident watng to happen. The recent problem is now I have no a/c-heat or defroster. Ths is due, to failure of the automatic temp control to work. I t started 1st by intermittently working, till now not working at all, this is just 1 more, to the list , of many other problems. I don't think that it is an coincidence that all my issue have happenned, almost exactly, in the order, of all the other complaints. I can't undestand how a company can get away w/this. This new problem can cost up to $2000, if it is, like previous reported problems, happens to be the "blend doors". As a handicapped driver I drive less than 4,000 miles a year. This is the only auto I drive, thus the many, many probs have yet to raise thier head. I have read almost all complaints(too many to read) this SUV schould be a "total recall, I have never heard more complaints & problems, in my life, for any automobile. This SUV schould be studied & reseached, on "how not to build an automobile. Just read the many complaints here & on the internet. We are not making this stuff up. I don't know how they stayed in business as long as they did. We, the taxpayers, bailed them out. Who is bailing out all the owners, of this "death-trap"? if that is not absurd enuff, many problems could have been repaired, by Jeep & still can. What is the purpose, of nhsta, if not to intervene? you have all the complaints. Hundreds of them. You have them posted, yet, we taxpayers/owners safety, has been at risk ever since this SUV was driven out of the showroom. How did you not make a recall on the rotor/brakes issue which was reported at 3,000 miles? I am so frustrated. Is braking problems not a safety issue? please, help us!.

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and recently my band in my transmission broke, so I have no 2nd gear. I brought it to a transmission shop and they told me it happens very often on the make and year of my vehicle. It would be an $1800. 00 to $3000. 00 fix. As of right now my car wont shift until it reaches 5000 rpm's, since I don't have the money to fix. I was just wondering if it has happened alot on this make and model car if it would be a recall.

Over the past three years my power windows slid down. One left rear a few years ago slid down as we were going down the road. Rt passenger side down about a year later. January 2nd my passenger side window did the same. I took it into the shop and mechanic said it was the regulator, it would be 300. 00 to fix it, he said yep that's common in Jeeps. I have a friend who has a 2002 Jeep, same problem with all four. . . . I'm a single mother, single grandmother that cant spare that kind of money. Yesterday 04/14/2009 I walked out to my Jeep to discover the window was down. Thought wow I don't remember leaving my window down because I have sound equipment I would hate to have stolen. It was chilly out that morning, tried to roll it up. . . . Guess what? now all of my power windows are broken due the regulators. Fuel pump, and injectors are my problem too. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!! let me add the heater core to that. I love my Jeep. . . I take good care of it, it looks brand new. The oil is changed with the best money can buy and on time every time if not sooner.

Sudden acceleration once again by those wonderful Jeep cherokees. 2001 exiting a carwash in the chicagoland area. This is the third in less than 2 years. Now that these Jeeps are getting more miles on them this is going to happen alot!!!!!!!!!! beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

My husband forgot his keys so I shifted to park and exited the vehicle and left it running because I was only going to be out a few seconds. I exited the vehicle and it shifted to into gear and took off knocking me down and running over me before hitting a truck that stopped it. I was hospitalized for three days with my injuries.

The transmission in my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo started clunking loudly when I shifted from reverse into drive. The service engine light will come on after this occurs. The problem was intermittent, then, one day I was sitting at a red light. When it turned green, I stepped on the gas pedal and the vehicle would not move. It acted as if was in park. I shifted it to park and back into drive several times and suddenly the vehicle slammed into gear lunged forward into traffic. I reported this problem to my dealership (the vehicle is under warranty) who told me no codes registered in relation to the service engine light having been on and that they could not duplicate the problem. They returned the vehicle to me and two days later the same transmission clunking began and the service engine light came on. I left a red light today and the vehicle would not shift from first gear into second. Finally, it shifted, slamming into gear, with a loud, hard clunk that shot my vehicle several feet ahead. I almost lost control of the vehicle and would have had an accident if a car had been ahead of me. It's back at the dealership who claims there's nothing wrong. The car has only 21,000 miles on it. Clearly, there is something wrong and I fear for my safety and cannot simply go buy another vehicle.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee heat not working - a common complaint of many Jeep owners seeking to file a class-action lawsuit against daimler Chrysler Jeep. $900 + is beyond absurd to pay to fix this common problem that Jeep should have recalled and fixed for free.

Car was placed in park in our driveway. Wife left vehicle to retrieve article from house. When she returned, she saw vehicle in reverse headed for the house across the street. Vehicle stopped when it struck the house.

Three months after purchasing a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the vehicle seems to want to stall when shifting gears. Within 8 months it actually is stalling, at various speeds, and has done so at least 15 times in two years. Neither the dealership or Chrysler acknowledge the shifting problem and have no remedy for the stalling.

My vehicle stalls without notice losing power but not actually shutting off. At other times it acts like it is hanging in 1st gear. On numerous occasions it has nearly gotten me hit by oncoming traffic or nearly rearended. I have had it checked out 3 times by the dealer and they say they are aware of the problem but no recall has been issued by chryler to fix problem. I have a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo, 3. 7l engine, automatic transmission. When driving, the vehicle will just shut off as if the key was turned off, losing all power. The vehicle will start afterwards and the check engine light will stay on for a few hours this has been going on for a couple years. This problem is similar to the recall on the 2008 Grand Cherokee stalling and I think this problem is more wide spread than Chrysler wants to admit. I have an appointment with a Jeep dealer who recently relocated in my area next week.

The transmission in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been slipping. I had it checked out and I was told it is ok. Then a few weeks later, I take off from a stop light and my engine revs to 3000 rpm and I am losing speed in heavy traffic. Then the engine light came on. So I take it to the dealer. They check it out and tell me it is the electronics in the shifter that is bad. I ask what is wrong and the service advisor takes me to the mechanic. He tells me about the issue and says that they have seen alot of these issues and the back order on the part is 450 parts in the negative. I think this is a potential problem and should be investigated for a possible recall.

While on the website of consumer affairs I noticed that there was an issue with automatic acceleration on the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo which I own and have experience this happening luckily I have always been in control of the situation, and frequent stalling. Either it jumps at a red light or it stalls, stalling is better, not being able to bring it to a shop due to financing, I try to stay on top of it, this already has caused some deaths I see on the site, when are they going to recall this vehicle due to this situation, or are they waiting to get a height body count? this happening once to anyone is too much! what is this country coming to?.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign id number 05v396000 (power train:automatic transmission). The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have the recall repair performed. A few months later, the failure recurred. When the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, they discovered that only part of the recall work was done. The dealer and the manufacturer are refusing to perform the recall repair because the contact is the third owner of the vehicle. The failure mileage was 67,000.

- the contact leases a 2008 Jeep cherokee 4x4. While pulling into a parking garage the vehicle would not accelerated, instead it went into reverse. She waited a few minutes then when she tried to proceed forward the vehicle continued in reverse then jerked and struck the preceding vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who wasn't able to diagnose the failure. The dealer stated nothing was wrong and it might have been driver error. A police report was taken by the white plains police department report number 08-10826. The current and failure mileage were 2,511.

There have been several people with the 2007 wk crd that have reported that their vehicle has died on them while driving. Reading about this on Jeep forum, I discovered that there is a TSB related to a faulty crankshaft position sensor on wk Jeeps that were built before June 12th, 2007. My Jeep was built in April, 2007. While my Jeep has not stalled, it is my wife's vehicle and she is frequently transporting our two children. The TSB calls for checking and replacing the sensor if it fails, but I do not find this to be acceptable. If the vehicle were to just die while they were going down the highway it could result in serious injuries to my wife and kids. I believe that Chrysler should do a recall to replace this sensor before anyone gets hurt.

Transmission does not shift down when stepping on gas. Most often in the 1200-1500 rpm range. Vehicle tries to stay on same gear and is not shifting e. G. From 5th gear to 4th. If gas pedal is stepped on all the way, vehicle shifts down 2 gears, e. G. From 5th to 3rd, and spikes up to 6000 rpm. This takes about 1. 5. Seconds, leading to dangerous situations when changing lanes, entering a highway, or speeding away from critical situations. Already experienced several severe close encounters. The spike in rpm will lead to property damage since the transmission will blow soon.

Vehicle was purchased on 12/31/07. In two separate occasions, the vehicle's transmission gets stuck and doesn't change gears. Car at both times was driven at 40 miles per hour. When accelerated, the vehicle's speed would not increase, rendering the car undriveable.

I have a 2000 Jeep gc laredo, and along with many,many other people I have numerous problems. The warped rotors are very dangerous when you have to use your brakes, especially when you have children in the car as I do, also the taillight/brake light issue, that has gotten me pulled over more than once, even though I put a new bulb in it every time. The door lock actuator that is very annoying not to mention my transmission has a shifting problem that I can't do anything about and now my radiator fan will not work so my car will overheat if I am stopped for too long.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee purchased used with full warranty. 30,000 miles the transmission goes. Took to local dealership for repairs and was treated like dirt. They say they rebuilt the transmission but problem still exists. Clanking, banging, and not shifting at all apparently this is normal for Chrysler vehicles because the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. Surprise now that the warranty is up I wonder if they'll figure out what is wrong. Disgusted with Jeep, Chrysler will never own another!!!.

The 2005 Jeep cherokee has severe problems related to the transmission. I bought this vehicle used with 10,000 miles on. I had 5 transmission related problems within 12 months. Two of these problems left the vehicle inoperable; one of which the vehicle almost caught on fire. They replaced the transmission and I was still not happy. I traded in for a 2007 Buick lucerne - which has been a great car. No more Chrysler products for me!.

The contact owns a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving approximately 60 mph, the contact activated the heated seats, which took approximately five minutes to warm up. Three minutes later, the seat warmed up excessively and caused mild burns to her body. The dealer stated that her VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 06v197000 (seats:front assembly:seat heater/cooler), although the failure was identical. The contact would have to repair the vehicle at her own expense. The manufacturer has not been notified. The failure mileage was 57,220 and current mileage was 61,716. Updated 3/4/08 the dealer stated malfunction indicator light on, and transmission not shifting properly. Updated 03/04/08.

I purchased a Grand Cherokee laredo 2006 invoice no. 392118) on March 26, 2007 in tamiami Chrysler-Jeep, 8250 sw 8 street, miami FL 33144. A few days after its purchase I noticed a little jump when I accelerated, then I carried the car to tamiami Chrysler service on April 2, 2007. They informed me that it has transmission problem so my car must remain there for a transmission replacement. Of course I am using a rent car but I want my car back. It is too much time (25 days) and their answer: transmission is not available.

I had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with approximately 24,000 miles on it. In December 2006 it down shifted itself into low gear while doing a forward speed of approximately 10 mph. I took the car to the local Jeep dealer who after keeping it for the day told me that they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. On February 9, 2007 with approximately 27,500 miles on the same vehicle it did the same thing again only this time at a speed of approximately 20 to 25 mph. The vehicle was basically uncontrollable. I took the car back to the dealer who told me once again that there was nothing wrong with the transmission and, in writing, told me to change my driving habits. They assumed I was down shifting the car by mistake. I had so little confidence in the vehicle that I traded it in on a new car. If this should happen at highway speed and the vehicle slips sideways it will roll over.

After safely placing the gear lever into the park position and leaving the vehicle with the engine running, the car suddenly went backwards, knocking me down, hitting another car and crashing into a house. Updated 10/24/07.
