2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE UNOCCUPIED AND RUNNING, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

I BELIEVE THIS RECALL APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE THE V6 AND SAME TRANSMISSION IT AFFECTED OVER 100,000 VEHICLES. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THE LEAK AND SHUTTER OF THE TORKCONVERTER. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AROUND THE DATE OF THE RECALL ISSUED AND PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT PERFORM THE FIX PRIOR TO SALE. PLEASE HELP I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO GO ON FIRE. RECALL ID # 05V396000 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL DATE: SEPT 14, 2005 COMPONENT: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MODEL AFFECTED: GRAND CHEROKEE UNITS AFFECTED: 101925 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT. CONSEQUENCE: IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING...

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND FOUND MANY LEADS. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2005 THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE ON MY VEHICLE IN 2005. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY INQUIRED ME WITH A TOTAL OF 1700.00 TO GET THIS REPAIRED. MY CAR GETS STUCK IN GEARS, WON'T ACCELERATE CORRECTLY, GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, REVS UP ON IT'S OWN, AND IT DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, SMOKE WAS PRESENT UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. WHEN THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO INSPECT IT FIRE WAS UNDER HIS FEET, UNDER THE HOOD AND THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE A CHILD PASSENGER FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO ASSIST WITH EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE. AN INVESTIGATOR WITH THE MANUFACTURER TOOK PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE THREE WEEKS AGO AND THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP CALL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A COPY OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST HIM SINCE THE FAILURE WAS MECHANICAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COMPLETELY DESTROYED BUT IT WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. CASE # 20554289 WAS...

MY JEEP TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND KEEPS BLOWING FILTER OFF OR SPLITTING THEM...WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH..MY VEHICLE JOLTS AS IF I HAVE SLAMMED THE GEARS IN PARK...THIS COULD RESULT IN MAJOR INJURY IF THE WHEELS LOCK WHILE IM GOING THAT RATE OF SPEED...AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY CONSUMERS WHO HAVE 05 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO DENY THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION...I HAVE FOUND MANY CONSUMERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, SHIFT SOLENOID, AND THE FILTERS FOR THE TRANSMISSION.. THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED...THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME...WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD...OR PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC....I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL CRASH OR SOMEONE ELSE...

RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE THAT RIDES ALONG WHEN SHIFTING BECAME BUNCHED UP AND COULDN'T SHIFT INTO PARK OR DRIVE. HAD TO CUT OUT THE BUNCHED UP PIECE AS CAR WAS IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. THIS RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE IS PART OF THE SHIFTER BEZEL TRIM THAT KEEPS DUST AND DIRT FROM GETTING INTO THE SHIFTER AREA. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS DEALER WANTS $720.00 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR!!??!!?? THIS IS LUDICROUS!!!!!! *TR

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. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 5.7L AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION AS THE RECALL NOTICE DESCRIBED BELOW. THAT IS, 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES, WHENEVER I TURN ON THE AIRCONDITIONING (PARTICULARLY IN WEATHER ABOVE 90 DEGREES) THE CAR SHUTTERS IF ASKED TO PULL FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS PROBLEM IS PARTICULARLY BAD AND MORE PREDICTABLE TO OCCUR IF REVERSING; I.E., BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. OVER THE LAST 3-4 YEARS, I HAVE ASKED TWO OR THREE DEALERSHIPS TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER, CITING THE RECALL BELOW, BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY MY CAR COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE ADJUSTED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ON THE AIR CONDITIONER -- THIS DID NOT HELP. ----------------- NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V396000 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER...

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE GETS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS IS RANDOM, AND HAPPENS ONLY ONCE EVERY 15 TO 20 STOPS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO SHIFT IS TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALER. AS THE CAR IS ON EXTENDED WARRANTY IT COSTS ME $100 EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN. *TR

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT, TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AT 28,000 MILES DUE TO VEHICLE SHUDDERING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS UPON ACCELERATION, VEHICLE WAS FINE UNTIL NOW, 36000 MILES AND IS DOING THE SAME THING... *TR

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! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. WHILE DRIVING OVER 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND DROPPED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSED BY A SEAL FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS COMMON FOR THE SEALANT TO FAIL AND CAUSE THE LEAK. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A TSB AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL*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.

PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON APRIL 19, 2007 DEALER ADVERTISED A 7YR./70,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON THE WINDOW STICKER, VEHICLE HAD CURRENT MILEAGE OF 52,794 DURING TEST DRIVE HEARD CLICKING SOUND FROM STEERING WHEEL THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL WHEN YOU SIGNAL.

WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, 5.7L, QUANDRA DRIVE II TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY A POLICEMAN ON PATROL NOTICED A SUDDEN FIRE UNDER HER CAR. OFFICER SAID TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND CAUSED IGNITION OF FIRE. OCCUPANTS EXTRACTED THEMSELVES WITHOUT PROBLEM. ENTIRE CAR ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND EXTINGUISHED BY LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. CAR AN ENTIRE LOSS. VERY LENGTHY SERVICE HISTORY WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE PRIOR TO FIRE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 JEEP, GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 39,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN SUDDENLY I HAD TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN APPLYING THE GAS. I COASTED THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND GOT OFF THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, WITHIN WEEKS I STARTED TO NOTICE THE UPHOLSTERY WAS NOT TREATED, IT WOULD STAIN WITH THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF CONDENSATION OR RAIN. AFTER ABOUT 8-12 MONTHS I STARTED TO FEEL IT GETTING SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM WAS DETECTED. THE REAL PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER I HAD THE VEHICLE 2YRS..CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, GEARS WOULD STICK, ENGINE WOULD ROAR UP TO 4.5 RPMS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON RAMPS TO THE HIGWAY, GREEN LIGHTS ETC.. I ALMOST GOT CREAMED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THE VEHICLE WOULD BUCK AND SPUTTER. IF I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD EVENTUALLY CLUNK INTO GEAR.IT HAD BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES. AT ONE POINT THEY REPLACED THEY TRANSMISSION MODULE..THAT DID...

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!!!*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH OR GREATER, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN SHIFTED INTO GEAR. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. NHTSA RECALL # 05V396000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) WAS FOUND. THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 30,547 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN ABOARD IN NOVEMBER 2006. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO CALL CHHRYSLER PRIOR TO ORDERING PARTS BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAD A HOLD"ON THE PARTS NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THE HOLD PLACED ON THE PARTS WAS DUE TO THE FACT CHRYSLER KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. SINCE THAT TIME, THE JEEP'S "NEW" TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN CLIMBING HILLS, ACCELERATING ETC. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMOBILE. CHRYSLER DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AS "FISH NIPPING AT BAIT". CHRYSLER'S TECHNICAL TEAM TELLS THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE WORKING ON A NEW COMPUTER PROGRAM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS NOW BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE...

I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS ONE YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING , BUT ITWAS NOT THE BATTERY. TOOK IT TO THE GALEANA DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND EVENTUALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED BECAUSE I VIDEOTAPED SEVERAL OF THE OCCURRENCES. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME STRANDED EVERYWHERE. THEN, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED , AND THE CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN IN IT. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT 22,000 MILES. *AK

PLACED CAR IN PARK WITH DRIVERS DOOR OPEN AND KEY IN IGNITION (TURNED OFF). CAR SLIPT INTO REVERSE AND ROLLED BACKWARD. TRIED TO STOP CAR FROM ROLLING AND GOT PINNED BETWEEN CAR DOOR AND FRAME OF GARAGE DOOR. CAR DOOR BENT BACKWARD AND WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. GARAGE DOOR FRAME BENT FROM WEIGHT OF CAR.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4. - TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AT 6,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALER, WHO DID A SERVICE, AND SAID ALL WAS FINE. RAN TERRIBLE FROM THEN ON. - TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 24,000 MILES . DEALER SAID THIS WAS RARE. TOOK 2 WEEKS TO REPLACE! RAN DECENTLY FOR 10,000 MILES OR SO THEN PROBLEMS CAME BACK. - TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 38,000 MILES, IN AN INTERSECTION WITH MY KID IN THE CAR. DEALER THEN ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. TOOK 5 WEEKS TO REPLACE. - TRANSMISSION STARTING TO SLIP AND SKIP AGAIN AT 68,000 MILES. NO SERVICE PLANNED AS I AM TURNING IT BACK IN FROM MY LEASE AND NEVER GETTING A JEEP AGAIN!*AK

THE VEHICLE IS A 6 CYLINDER WITH A NAG 1 TRANSMISSION, 30000 MILES, TRANSMISSION SURGES AND DOES NOT WANT TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING. DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY... CANNOT PICK UP SPEED HAD BEEN SHUDDERING AT VARIOUS TIMES.*AK VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING OR PULLING IN TO TRAFFIC CHECK ENGINE LIGTH COME ON EVERY FRIDAY AND COME OFF ON SATURDAYS. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER 5 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THEY HAVE A NEW UPGRADE FOR THE COMPUTERS BUT NO FIX, IS A SAFETY ISUE!!!!

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS MADE STRANGE CLUNKING NOISES. VEHICLE BEGAN TO DROP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND THEN FINALLY (AND CURRENTLY) WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER DID TELL ME THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG V8 MODELS SUCH AS MINE BUT THAT THEY JUST DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT SO THEY HAVE NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. HOWEVER, JEEP IS PUTTING SO MANY PEOPLE AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE DRIVE BUT EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE NOW SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS BUT WITH NO CONSISTENT PATTERN. $34,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF WORRY. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. IT TOOK 1 TO 3 MINUTES TO MOVE THE SHIFT GEARS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN IT WAS HOT OR COLD. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COLD IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. *AK THE TRANSMISSION HAD A DELAY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SUNROOF LEAKED WATER. UPDATED 03/19/07. *JB

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...

WE LEASED A 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE IN JANUARY 2005 AND IN JANUARY 2006 EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO CUT OFF INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS, ODOMETER... AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASH INCLUDING THE CD PLAYER, THE BUTTONS FOR THE HEATER/AC WOULD OVERHEAT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE TOOK IT IN TO GALEANA, THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, WHICH APPARENTLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN QUITE OFTEN WITH CHYRSLER AUTOMOBILES. SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR BEGAN TO BREAK DOWN EVERYWHERE. IF I PARKED THE CAR AT A STORE, WORK, HOME... AND WENT BACK TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT CRANK. THIS HAPPENS 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" A PROBLEM AND NOW THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. SHORTLY AFTER THAT AT THE END OF 2006,...

JEEP 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE ONTO HIGHWAY FROM 40 MPH AND ENGINE JUST REVS, TACHS TO 5 OR 6 AND STILL ONLY GOING 40 MPH IN THE MEANTIME NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS TO GETTING HIT BY ONCOMING CARS AND TRUCKS ON HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE JEEP SIMPLY ISN'T MOVING FAST AND JUST REVVING. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR COMPLAINT AND REPAIR AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES AND DEALER STATES THEY CAN'T "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM SO "THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT". I AM TOLD "NOTHING IS WRONG". I FEAR SOMEBODY WILL EVENTUALLY GET SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. STUCK IN A LEASE OF AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO GO PLAY GOLF WHEN I NOTICED AN ODD SOUND FROM THE REAR END OF MY 2005 GRAND LIMITED W/HEMI. ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THE SOUND WAS IN ALL GEARS AND ALL SPEEDS BUT MUCH MORE NOTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TOOK A MECHANIC FOR A RIDE AND HE THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS A BAD PINION BEARING. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED THE WHOLE REAR END OF THE CAR NEEDED TO BE REBUILD. 15,000 MILES AND I NEED A NEW REAR END? FOR A $42,000 SUV THIS SURE IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. SO NOW I AM OUT OF MY CAR FOR A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS WHILE THEY GET THE PARTS AND REBUILD. SO NOW I HAVE A NEW "REBUILT" SUV FOR THE SAME PAYMENTS...DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AT 15,000 MILES. RKM....

2005 GRAND CHEROKEE SHUT OFF, LOCKING IN THIRD GEAR. *TS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASION FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED. WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONER OR DEFROSTER WATER LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, #05V396000 CONCERNING THE POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOWEVER THE RECALL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER WAS ALERTED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WHICH REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE WITH A V8 ENGINE THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR SAT FOR 5 DAYS WHILE I WAS ON VACATION. UPON RETURNING THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, I HAD THE BATTERY JUMPED AND DROVE HOME FROM AIRPORT. THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY AND AN OIL CHANGE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO LUNGING FORWARD WHEN STOPPED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME RESPONSE "ROAD TESTED- NORMAL CONDITION AT THIS TIME". THE SERVICE REP EVEN CALLED ME TO TELL ME HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THAT THERE IS A HESITATING SHIFT AND A JERKS HARD FORWARD ON ACCELERATION. HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE RPMS INCREASED VERY RAPIDLY. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM HOWEVER, THE SURGING PROBLEM CONTINUED. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ACCURATELY REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V396000 CONCERNING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOWEVER THE RECALL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTERWARDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL AGAIN. ALSO, THE DEALER SUGGESTED THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF THE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY WHICH FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY WAS RELATED TO THE ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AS WELL, BUT NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ,BEGAN ACTING UNUSUAL IN MID NOVEMBER 2005. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CLUNK WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE , THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO HESITATE BEFORE MOVING, ALSO ON 2 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION. ON DECEMBER 18, 2005 I TOLD THE JEEP DEALER SERVICE MANGER OF THE PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN , I HAD RECEIVED FROM DAIMLER-CHRYSLER A RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION , AS FAR AS I KNOW THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE SEEMED FINE UNTIL DECEMBER 30, 2005 WHEN WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED THE VEHICLE AGAIN DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR MOMENTARILY , ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THEN SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND SPEED UP...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V396000 REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTERWARDS IT CONTINUED TO SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING. ALTHOUGH THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ACCORDINGLY THE VEHICLE HAD A STRONG SHUDDER THAT COULD PHYSICALLY BE FELT BY THE CONTACT AS WELL AS A LOUD CHATTER FROM THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE THERE WAS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE. ASIDE FROM THE PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DISPLAYED SOME ABNORMALITIES. WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND ALL OF THE GAUGES, SUCH AS THE FUEL AND SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO REGISTER. THE DEFROSTER WHICH WAS IN USE AT THAT TIME STOPPED WORKING. THIS PROBLEM LASTED ONLY A MATTER OF SECONDS BUT RETURNED TO NORMAL WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THIS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN A 5 MILE RADIUS AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED WITH NO...
