Every single code is displayed when using a ODB2 scan tool. I have many electrical issues that go away and come back. Sluggish performance. Random components inside the jeep will fail at random. I’m thinking the ECU is faulty. Somedays it will run fine with all the codes still present.

Lights on the dashboard were blinking, there were no turning signals, the gas gauge was not working, and the check engine light was flashing. My safety was put at risk because I could not let people know when I was turning. I took it to the dealer, and they said there were too many codes, but none were active for them to fix the problem. So, I have to drive the jeep, but this is dangerous. The warning keeps showing me that there is a problem with the ignition switch that was previously recalled. I want this taken care of, please.

Dash will read "ESP System Disabled" during this the engine light and red lightning in brackets ( ) turns on, on the dash. This affects the acceleration there is none and brakes work but is slow to come to a full stop. An inspection can be scheduled. This happens anytime and randomly, getting safely off the road is hard. First happened April 1, 2024 then April 3, 2024. Had a family mechanic work on it got it back and less than a day having it back and it happened 5 more times just driving to work on August 28, 2024.

The Jeep would not start. When the key was inserted into the ignition switch and turned to the start position, all that would happen is a single click. The starter would not engage. The key had to me jiggled in order to start the Jeep. The ignition switch has very high sensitivity.

Ignition system was repaired under recall in 2016. The cars ignition system continues to have issues and will shut off and cause the car not to restart. Very dangerous to be driving and have the engine fail. This happened on the highway recently. Chrysler says there is nothing they can do. Car has been looked at by independent mechanics and I have notified the dealership. They say it is my responsibility now.

Entering my exit I noticed my 1month old was no longer sound asleep but screaming I turned around noticing she was being approached by smoke arising from the back of the vehicle.As panic set in I immediately tried to come to stop moving off the exit. At the same time clear fluid gushed out of the hood and smoke immediately entered the front of the vehicle making it difficult to come to a stop see or breath. I went blank out of fear or pure confusion as I reached for my infant in the back as quickly as I could at that point she was. No longer crying. I shot out of the vehicle as fast as possible and stayed in a safety spot attempting to shield her from the sun as I watched the jeep ignite and continue to smoke itself out witnesses gathered around one allowing me to...

PCM HAS BEEN REPLACEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES BY DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP. When computer fails it has failed a circuit with 02 sensors which kills engine power randomly while driving on highways. It has turned ABS light on and Service 4x4 randomly and won’t let the vehicle travel over 10mph. Very dangerous on roads. I’ve had three computers installed in the last Year and a half and have given me 3 close calls almost causing accident. That’s 3 too many. I’m not the only one with the computer issues ask around to owners with these jeeps. How many close called does someone need for Chrysler to not even repair but Just to look into. Do people need to die in an accident for people to take this seriously. The issue is NOT from lack of maintenance either. If my ABS module was failed I would no. My vehicle has a 115,000miles on...

Driving down the road the vehicle cuts off had to try and pull off the road. It would not crank back. Had to have it towed.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The contact then stated a month later while driving at 25 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Consumer stated vehicle is not responding.*JB

While operating the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the instrument cluster acts as if it's disconnected..., Speedodemeter, Tachometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gage all go to zero, yet the engine continues to run without interruption. Then, with no rhyme or reason, the entire dashboard lights up (as if just turning the car on). All of this occurs within 26 seconds. No effect on the radio, A/C, etc., only seems to affect the instrument cluster. Not sure if the lights/brake lights/turn signals work when this occurs. I have a video, but cannot upload via this website - it is a .mov file.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER FOR VARYING AMOUNTS OF TIME. ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND VEHICLE DRIVES BUT DURING THIS POWER LOSS ALL LIGHTS, CRUISE CONTROL, A/C, AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE INOPERABLE. DRIVING CONDITIONS HAVE NOT CHANGED AND THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE SUDDENLY SHOWED UP.

NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN DRIVING EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL WILL GO OUT, THE DASH LIGHTS,HEADLIGHTS RADIO LIGHTS EVERYTHING LIKE THE CAR IS COMPLETELY OFF. ONE TIME I HIT THE DASH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON ANOTHER TIME JUST TO SEE I OPENED MY DRIVER DOOR AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR BACK EVERYTHING WENT BACK OFF. IT STARTED AS RANDOM BUT IS NOW MORE AND MORE OFTEN. IT HAPPENS ALWAY WHEN I AM DRIVING.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS KEEP FLICKERING, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD TURN ON AND OFF AND HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY.

THE BLEND AIR DOORS BREAK OR FALL APART AND NO LONGER WORK! ALWAYS HEAT! BLEND DOORS ARE CRAP. THIS IS SOMETHING!

ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF ON MY CAR FLASHES ON AND OFF OR WILL JUST GO COMPLETELY BLANK FOR AWHILE WHILE I'M DRIVING THIS INCLUDES SPEEDOMETER AND ALL MY LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH IS VERY MUCH NEEDED TO DRIVE SAFELY IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF BUT IT CONTINUES TO RUN AND I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND IT IS MY IGNITION SWITCH I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT ALREADY AND I CALLED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT I'M NOT SURE HOW ALL OF THIS WORKS SO I'M WRITING YOU GUYS FOR HELP. WHEN IT HAD FIRST HAPPENED I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN IN WASHINGTON STATE I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE NOW I CAN'T TAKE THE CHANCE OF BEING ON THE FREEWAY AND THIS HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE RAIN THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T SO SCARY BUT WHEN...

IT STARTED OUT WITH MY KEY FOB NOT UNLOCKING MY CAR. SO I DECIDED TO UNLOCK MY CAR MANUALLY, DOING SO SET OFF THE ALARM AND HAD THE LIGHTS BLINKING AND HORN GOING OFF. SO I THEN DECIDED TO ORDER A NEW FOB WITH A NEW BATTERY (EVEN THOUGH MINE WAS NEW). THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I DECIDED TO CALL SOMEONE TO COME PROGRAM MY FOB, THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. SO THEY DID. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. THEN THE FOB DIDN'T UNLOCK MY CAR, BRAND NEW FOB, BRAND NEW BATTERY. BACK TO SQUARE 1, UNLOCKING IT MANUALLY DEALING WITH THE HORN ISSUE. THEN, 1 DAY GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED IT AND PULLED IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE HORN WENT OFF AND WOULD NOT STOP EVEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR. IT CONTINUED TO BE AN ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE RESOLVED. SO WE PULLED THE...

THE HORN IS INTERMITTENTLY SOUNDING WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. WHEN PARKED THE KEYS ARE NOT IN THE IGNITION AND ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING.

WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TURNING THE KEY AND SHUTTING OFF THE LIGHTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AND HAS NOT BEEN IN STOCK.

I JUST BOUGHT IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT'S EITHER THE MOTOR MESSED UP OR THE COMPUTER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'LL COST ME 3,000 I DON'T HAVE THAT. I SAVED UP FOR A HEAD TO BY IT.

ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS UP, FLASHES/FLUTTER/FLICKERS, RADIO SHUTS OFF, HVAC SYSTEM SHUTS OFF, BUT ENGINE STILL RUNS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON, HOWEVER IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION OR IN PARK.. BUT I DO NOT SEE A PATTERN BEYOND THAT (LIKE WHEN IT RAINS OR IS HUMID). I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN BY JUGGLING MY IGNITION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IS A THING, BUT THAT NEVER INITIATES THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE JEEP HAS STARTING PROMBLES IT WILL RUN AND START FINE THEN THE NEXT IT DOSE NOT WANT TO START. SO I COULD JUST RUN IN THE STORE AND COME OUT AND IT WON'T START AND I HAVE TO SIT A HOUR OR TWO AND THEN IT STARTS AGINE. IT DOSE THIS AFTER RUNNING TO THREE PLACES IT WILL STALL AGINE ON ME AND WON'T START. I HAVE BRAND NEW STARTER IN IT AND BATTERY. HAD THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND ITS FINE AND ALSO THERE WAS RECALL ON INGINTION SWITCH AND THAT GOT REPLACED BUT STILL HAVING PROMBLES WITH IT STARTING.

AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WHILE IN PARK, AND JUST AFTER STARTUP, ALL DASHBOARD GAUGES, LIGHTS, AND POWER GOES OUT, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF, BUT THE ENGINE STILL RUNS. I CANNOT SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ME AT NIGHT, I CANNOT TELL MY SPEED, I CANNOT SEE MY FUEL LEVEL, ETC. THE OUTAGE LASTS FROM 2-30 SECONDS BEFORE EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, OR FLICKER ON AND OFF, AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. I REPLACED THE IGNITION 2 YEARS AGO FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL NOTICE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, IT COULD HAPPEN AT NIGHT ON A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED STREET AND I LOSE ALL POWER AND LIGHTS!

MY CAR JUST STOP ONE DAY I PUT IN NEW STUFF AND IT JUST WON'T CRANK ANYMORE IT'S LIKE IT DON'T WANNA GET GAS THE SYSTEM AND COMPUTER IN CAR DON'T WORK

VEHICLE STILL RUNS, BUT ELECTRICAL STUFF DOESN'T WORK. COULD NOT USE A TURN SIGNAL TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND OFF THE ROAD AND IT WAS DARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE OR TRIP. I TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON AND THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT STAY ON FOR A DAY OR SO AND THEN IT WILL GO OFF.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY STARTED. TOOK THE JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PART THAT IS NEEDED WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DECEMBER. PART IS CALLED SKIM MODULE. PART IS VIN SPECIFIC. IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE? I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND CANNOT BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY JEEP RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY LOSES CONNECTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT GETS STUCK IN RANDOM GEARS AND IT WILL NOT MOVE FAST (SAFELY) WHEN I ACCELERATE UNLESS THE CAR IS RESTARTED BUT THEN IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I STOP, AND SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 05-10 MODEL YEARS THAT JEEP HAS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AND IGNORED FOR YEARS. IT HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY CARS TRANSMISSION AND HAS MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES GO OUT ON THE DASH BOARD. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PERFORMED. VEHICLE STILL RANDOMLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE. FM RADIO VERY BAD RECEPTION. NUMEROUS POSTINGS ON INTERNET ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES.

I PURCHASED MY 05 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.7L V6 WITH 79K MILES ON IT JUNE 21, 2016. IN JULY OF 2017, IT STARTED TO BOG DOWN WITH A CONSTANT SHUTTER WHEN STARTING UP AND ACCELERATING, THE CEL WAS ALSO ON. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE CEL CHECKED OUT AND IT WAS SHOWING 22 CODES SAYING THAT THE O2 SENSOR HAD A HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT. UPON EXAMINNG AND TESTING THE O2 SENSOR THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND TO BE WRONG. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE CEL CAME ON AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT SHOWED THE SAME O2 SENSOR WAS RUNNING LEAN AND RICH AT THE SAME TIME. I REPLACED THE SENSOR AT THAT TIME. NOW IT IS SHOWING ANOTHER CODE P0430 AND THE TIMING CHAIN FOR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION IS JUMPING.

I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE SINCE 2008 AT 32,000 MILES, THE SUNROOF WORKED GREAT FOR A FEW YEARS THEN I NOTICED THAT THE SUNROOF WOULD CLOSE PASSED THE ROOF LINE OF THE JEEP. I DID NOT THINK OF IT MUCH BECAUSE I ASSUMED THAT THE JEEP WOULD HAVE A SECONDARY SEAL ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF LINE, IN BETWEEN THE HEADLINER TO KEEP DEBRIS AND WATER OUT OF THE INSIDE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY AND THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THE SUN MELTED EVERYTHING AWAY. I GOT IN MY JEEP AND REALIZED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THAT I HAD WATER POURING ON MY LEG AND THROUGH THE MAP LIGHTS IN THE CENTER. BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, WORK, MY PANTS WERE COMPLETELY SOAKED AND MY CENTER CONSOLE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. THIS BEING THAT THE SUNROOF HAD NOTHING TO KEEP THE MELTING SNOW...
