Transmission Gear Indicator Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

Was driving on the road when all of a sudden the dash board lights started blinking as well as gear light by the shifter. Lost power and costed to a stop in the middle of the left turn lane. This is the first time I have encountered this problem so far.

New, just over 500 miles. Parked overnight at the airport. When I started it when I returned from trip, system reports failure in electronic stability control and engine warning light is on. It would not go into gear, did not recognize it was in park, gear indicators flashing, car would not turn off and would not engage a gear. Had to tow it to dealer, left it at dealer with motor still running overnight. Dealer said they had a Chrysler 300 show up the next day with the same problem. Almost 2 weeks later it's still in the shop. I've only made one payment on it!.

This is a follow on to a complaint filed a few weeks ago. I came home from a business trip on 4/5/2016. I started the Jeep in the daily garage at bwi and warning lights came on for the stability control and engine. The gear indicators (p, n, d, etc. ) were flashing and it did not recognize what gear it was in. It would not engage a gear, and would not turn off the engine. I had it towed to the dealer and left it overnight still running. The dealer finally got it turned off by pulling a sensor on the fuel pump. As of today, 4/28, it is still in the shop. They had replaced the valve tub but it did not fix the problem. They are now planning to replace the entire transmission, supposedly in the next few days, but as of today Jeep has not been able to explain exactly what's wrong with it. It had just over 500 miles on it when it failed, brand new, and has now been in the shop longer than I've owned it.

On 9/4/15 I was backing a boat into the lake using this vehicle. I put the vehicle into park, or thought I did, and opened the driver door. As I exited the vehicle rolled backwards, knocked me down, and the entire vehicle, with boat and trailer, went into the lake. I have noticed since then that the shifter requires you to hold it in park for a second before the park gear will engage. Slamming the shifter towards park, even with the button depressed and foot on the brake, will not always engage the parking gear. You must wait until the parking gear light on the dash is illuminated. This is not user friendly. I would suggest a sensor being installed on the transmission that automatically shifts into park when the driver door is opened, much like the mercedes gl450.

After coming to complete stop (at a gas pump), put transmission into park, I stepped out of vehicle, within 10 seconds the vehicle began to slowly rolling backwards. My vehicle struck another vehicle causing damage to both vehicles. Now being more aware of this incident, I am very careful to assure both gear indicators- shift knob and display on dash- display "p", and check vehicle physical position for movement. I have noticed there is both a lag to change display and not a positive indication of the park position when changing gear.

Vehicle was traveling at approximately 50 mph when it violently jerked and the engine light came on. I stopped the car and noticed that the number 6 remained next to the 'd' gear indicator. When I tried to drive and pressed the accelerator, the engine roared but the car barely moved. The number 6 remained on. The car was towed to the dealer, who told me that I need a new transmission at 1,900 miles!.

While driving the vehicle, had a sudden lose of ability to accelerate, no throttle response, no rpms on the tach, and every gear indicator was illuminated as if in all gears at the same time (park, reverse, nuetral, drive). Dealership says its part # 52124137ac that needs to be replaced, and is not covered under any power train warranty, at a cost of $817. 00. This problem happened 4 times before I was able to get it in to the local dealership, never on the highway, if it had happened on the highway, im sure I would have been taking a chance with my life.

While driving the vehicle loses power no matter how much ags you give it. The engine l;ight comes on and off every few days. All the gear indicator lights are highlighted.

Auto transmission gear shift not shifting into gears correctly; loss power around curves; sometimes engine light comes on; sometimes all gear indicators come on dash; feels as though can't accelerate when entering onto highway or passing. Nothing done yet. Called dealer, online searches. Very very many same-similar online & very expensive repair $700+. Appears to be defective part & should be recall/dealer replace/repair!!.

When driving the lights around the gear indicators will circle all the gears and vehicle drops into what feels like neutral and loses power. Then it will randomly drop back into drive. Happened a couple of times then check engine light came on. Code given was loose ground wire in tranny. Dealer fixed. 1 week later happened again and check light came on again. Dealer got same ground wire code, took apart again and wire was fine. Reset light. Still having same problem with shifting and has happened when just engaging to leave out of parking lot then 3 times on hwy at 55 mph. Very scary as don't know if going to go back into gear or power loss will cause someone to rear end you at high rate of speed. Can't always find a place to pull over and re-engage gears. Check engine light came on again today taking it back in for review. Why hasn't there been an investigation or a recall? does there have to be a fatal accident to get attention to this dangerous matter? I love my Jeep but not enough to die for it!.

My daughter was driving her 2007 Grand Cherokee away at college. Several times as she was driving along the roads with traffic, the transmission seemed to go neutral and all gear indications lit circled as though it was in all gears, but was not "driving". When it finally kicked back into gear it accelerated quickly. She had to break and pull over several times this happened. We had the car towed to a dealership and they replaced an electronic module. This could be a deadly failure. Two dealerships' service departments I have asked have heard of it but say it isn't a widespread problem, a sales manager where we bought it claims never to have heard of this.

While driving on the highway, my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo, jerked violently out of gear (almost into neutral?) and the engine light came on. The gear lights lit up and I had to manually shift it back into automatic. The dealership scanned the code & determined that it was a bad shifter control module. They said I could continue to drive it for a while but it would eventually need replaced. Estimated cost for part $747(excluding $78 in labor). Drove it but realized that it was happening more frequently, many times on the highways traveling at fast speeds. Almost wrecked several times because the part malfunctioned when trying to slow down when the roads were snow covered & icy. This is a serious & potentially fatal safety problem for myself & others on the road that requires immediate attention. I am uncertain as to why Chrysler has not recalled this part or atleast looked into it. I reported it to Chrysler only to find out that they had no knowledge of the complaint. ?? there are numerous complaints from other owners that have had the same problem, yet no actions have been taken to remedy the issue. Does there need to be a death to obtain a recall? I am certain that I will purchase a vehicle from general motors in the future if there is no corrective action taken.

5/25/05 the Jeep was parked in the driveway and running without the emergency brake on, with the boys inside. We were hurrying them to school. The weather was clear and dry. I ran back into the house, which took less than 3 minutes, to get betsy to hurry up. When I was heading back to the car the boys were yelling . The car was rolling backwards and rolled into the brick retaining wall around the driveway. When I got to the car the gear shift was slightly out of park. Over $1500 in damage was done to the car. A claim was filed with insurance company. I assumed the fault was mine due to being in a hurry. 1/17/06 I was moving cars around the driveway and had the Jeep parked in the driveway. The engine was running, the car was in park with the emergency brake on. The weather was clear and dry. I had the driver's door open, because I was only going into the garage for a second. I happened to turn towards the Jeep and noticed that it was rolling backwards. I ran to the Jeep, intending to stop it by putting the emergency brake on. When I jumped into the Jeep I looked down and noticed that the brake was already on, and that the car appeared to be fully in park. I was able to stop the car by putting my foot on the brake, with no damage to the car this time. I called daimler Chrysler that afternoon to tell them of my story. I was told that someone would be contacting me soon to look at the car, and not to have any work done on the vehicle before the person was able to look at the Jeep. 1/18/06 mr. W contacted me to meet to look at the car. 1/19/06 met mr. W at berglund Jeep at noon; he spent one hour looking the car over. He said that he was not allowed to tell me anything , and that Chrysler would be contacting me. He did state to me that I should keep the emergency brake on the car, and to take the key out of the ignition.

When braking brakes squeaked. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer replaced the brakes every 12,000 miles. Also, automatic transmission gear indicator failed to engage properly.
