general problems of the 2005 Jeep Wrangler

The dashboard will display odd behavior and all of a sudden the ignition will cut. Total loss of power. This has happened in the past with children in the vehicle. Very dangerous. Resetting the key will reset but it is random.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle loss motive power. Several gauges became inoperable with unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over and waited approximately 15 minutes before the vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The ignition switch was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,666.

Engine failed, speedometer, tach went to 0, all gauges went to 0, power steering failed after I declutched and then coasted to a full stop (power brakes failed but still had some brake input) safely on the shoulder of an off ramp. (this not the first time this has happened, however it was the first time pulling a full trailer, so I drive as if it could happen again) vehicle was at branhaven Jeep in branford, CT last July @ 64429 miles. . . They were unable to duplicate. It is now at gengras Jeep in east hartford, CT, same story. I've asked gengras to replace the ignition switch again. I have the ignition switch from branhaven which I found the copper plate worn off to steel and evidence of arcing on the contacts.

Over a period of several days the vehicle started shifting hard and eventually went into "limp" mode and started throwing different codes for various sensors. After many visits to different mechanics I researched the problem myself and pinpointed the pcm as the problem.

Engine codes p0340 and p0344 Chrysler campaign e05 replace opda and camshaft - my manufacture date is June 2005, there is 113k on the engine, when the weather is cold (40 f or below) the engine has long start issues, there is play in the opda enough to put the engine in limp mode not revving past 2500rpm. For sure this needs a new camshaft and new opda, both gears are worn. The Chrysler campaign only cover up to a Feb 2005 manufacture. This should be considered for additional manufacture dates with multiple complaints on NHTSA about this issue.

Was crossing a busy 4-lane st rt when the throttle cable came apart and propulsion was lost. Nearly got t-boned by oncoming traffic. A multi-car pileup was narrowly averted. Vehicle has only 85,000 miles. Throttle cable frayed just inside the firewall in the passenger compartment. It has no history of accidents or repairs on this assembly. No warning. Very scary experience. Stranded in the middle of the road, perpendicular to traffic.

So was driving my Jeep when I stoped lost all oil pressure dropped to 0 pressure when accerlerated oil pressure went back but continues to drop to 0 when stopped I have replace the oil pressure switch with no change . I have researched online and this seems to be a problem with most 2005 heep Wranglers so my question is is when is enough /enough when are you going to recall and do the right thing?.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the engine and check gauge warning lights illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

The evaporated system in the Jeep in turning engine light and will not pass safety and emissions without fixing it. We have a new fuel cap and have also checked the console and it still turns on heard this was a known issue but no recalls for it.

This is just a heads up, hopefully from thousands of others also of a pending mass failure of Chrysler's 4. 0 motors involving loss of oil pressure and the potential accidents caused by motor seizures happening at any speed, anywhere. Chrysler has been dragging their feet on addressing this issue and in my case not even notifying me of a recall(which wouldn't have alleviated the root cause of the problem) despite my VIN having the s indicator in it indicating it being in the range for the recall.

Recently purchased 2005 Jeep grand cherokee. While driving, drivers knee will inadvertently bump the key in the ignition turning off the vehicle and its steering. This has happened 3 times in the past 3 weeks. We cannot be the only consumer having this problem. . . This is a set-up for a fatality. I see no recall on this. . .

Engine warning light has been coming on since about 70k miles(190k now). Scanner says O2 sensor is bad. After replacement of the O2 sensor, the fault continues to show up randomly. I carry a scanner to reset the engine code on the road. All wiring has been checked and is ok. When I clear the code, the error does not show up again for anywhere from 125 miles to around 300 miles. Clearing the code starts the process all over.

The camshaft sensor upper bushing does not get lubricated seizes up causes camshaft to wear out. In my Jeep I replaced three of them on the inline 4. 0 6cyl. I only have 66,660 miles on my Jeep. June 4, 2021.
