I have a 2006 Jeep Laredo 3. 6l with 54,000 miles on it. Since may of 2012 it has been nothing but a huge problem. I have contacted Jeep customer care and had a casenumber with them to get the issues resolved, needless to say they fixed half of the issues and then closed the case when the dealership that was working on it was unable to diagnose the other issues. The Jeep will lunge, jerk, and get stuck in 2nd gear at 1. 5rphs until you press the gas really hard and it slips gears. For the past 4 months on and off the Jeep has been having electrical problems for example today while leaving work I was going around 30 mph and turned my heat on then all the lights on the dashboard came on (check engine, oil,) all those my gas gage went from full to empty my headlights went off and I lost power steering and abs brakes. Never the less it was dark outside so im a sitting duck to other cars who can not see me. Then about 10 seconds later the Jeep is back to normal and is running fine. It has even done this when I just honk my horn or turn on my radio. I have contacted Jeep many of times regarding this issue and their response is we don't know what it is! so they want me to pay up to 1,000. 00 in diagnostic costs (dealership said) because they are going to have to search everything on the Jeep to see what the problem is because it could be anything. And Jeeps response was they are not saying that they will cover it or not. I have a extended warranty on the Jeep that I bought that is good for another 50,000 miles. These issues should be required to be fixed and paid for by Jeep because it is a huge safety problem. What happens if this issues happens again with my small child in the car at night and I get hit by another car because they can not see me? will Jeep pay then?.
Complaint for another Jeep owner when driving my 2006 Jeep grand cherokee Laredo the lights around the pnd21 will circle all of the gears and either go into neutral or 1st gear on its own while you are driving it, it happens at least 2-3 times a week. It is very dangerous when you are driving down the road - have taken to dealer said it needs electronic shift module at a cost of $750. Called customer service Jeep they said they couldn't help with the cost of repair. I have looked into this problem and it seems that there a lot of these same 2006 Jeeps with the same problem. They said my Jeep has to many miles 85,000 - but it seems like it happens to call Jeeps no mater what the mileage - I think this is a defective part and they should make it right - now matter how many miles. This is a very dangerous problem. I have almost been in 3 accidents due to this problem. Issue with my Jeep Laredo - exactly the same! I have been experiencing the same exact thing! I will be driving (regardless of speed) and everything locks up and I cannot slow down, stop, or speed up, and at the same time the lights around "p-n-d-2-1" will all be highlighted. The engine revs up on its own, sometimes getting into the red zone, and after what seems like forever it all releases and starts to drive normal again. I've had it looked at numerous times, transmission damn near replaced, starter replaced, etc. , and it continues to happen. This last incident I was informed of the code "p0700" which has to do with a fault in the transaxle control system. Obviously I'm not the only one with this problem. Jeep needs to come out with some sort of recall, regardless of mileage or warranty, to fix this before there's a serious accident, hopefully not one that would take any lives! it's apparent that it's not an "operator error" but instead a manufacturing error. This has happened multiple times.
