2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee acceleration problems

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

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.

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 it and when this dangerous intermittent issues occur there are no DTC codes stored. This is a total epic failure done by Chrysler. If they don’t find something soon about theses vehicles. I will be sure never to by another Jeep product. I don’t drive this vehicle unless I’m alone never-mind one of my niece or nephews With me in this death trap I’ve learned my lesson On this one Chrysler Please help NHTSA!!

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE HAD GONE OUT. PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL IN AND DRIVE ARE THE ONLY FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE. TO DOWNSHIFT FROM DRIVE FOURTH, THIRD, SECOND, AND FIRST HAVE LOST ALL ABILITY. PRIMARILY THE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO AND THE ABILITY TO DOWNSHIFT IS NECESSARY TO AVOID COLLISION AND TO CLIMB THE STEEP HILLS. NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR ANYBODY ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR EXAMPLE: DRIVING TO AN EXIT RAMP FROM SPEEDS OF 65 AND NEEDING TO DECELERATE TO 25 WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT AND MAJOR WHERE ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. NOW FOR CLIMBING THE HILLS OF SAN FRANCISCO IN A HIGH GEAR PUTS A MAJOR STRESS ON THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY . THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR AN IGNITION AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT I RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES FROM JEEP STARTING OUT AS SIMPLE AND IS NICELY PUT HIS PLEASE SEE YOUR SERVICE DEALERSHIP THERE IS A RECALL AND TO THE EXTREME OF RECEIVING NOTICES THAT SAID YOUR VEHICLE HAS A RECALL AND YOU ARE PUTTING OTHER PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER BY NEGLECTING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK AND THE IGNITION AND WAS TOLD FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY SINCE I ONLY USE THE KEY WITH NO KEYCHAIN. I HAVE ALSO DONE MY HOMEWORK ON THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE VIDEOS OR TESTIMONIES ABOUT THEIR JEEPS HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE ABILITY NOT TO DOWNSHIFT THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE. IN THE PAST 12 YEARS I PRAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS IN DIRECT RELATION TO THIS ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE BUT IF YOU'RE A DRIVER YOU KNOW THAT EVERY GEAR ON THE VEHICLE IS THERE FOR A REASON AND RELY ON THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO CORRECT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP. TOPS OUT AT 3,000 RPMS AT 60MPH. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. BUT WILL AT LEAST HAPPEN 2 TIMES A DAY. WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. THIS MOST LIKELY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND START TO TAKE OFF. I HAD THE CENSERS CHANGED IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY KNOW.

A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY JEEP ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I NOTICED THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL HAD STOPPED WORKING AND THE ABS LIGHT HAD COME. I CHECKED MY FUSES AND RELAYS AND THEY WERE OK. THEN A DAY OR SO LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. MY JEEP THEN SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFTED ITSELF. IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP, IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND WOULD NOT SHIFT ONTO ANOTHER GEAR. I PULLED OVER KILLED THE MOTOR. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE IT, I TURNED THE KEY OVER AND NOTICED THE BREAK AND ENGINE LIGHTS WERE OFF SO I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME AND WAS SUCESSFULL. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN. I NOTICED THAT IT MAINLY HAPPENED WHEN EITHER I WAS RUNNING MY AC OR IT WAS WET/RAINING OUTSIDE. I THEN STARTED RESEARCHING JEEP PROBLEMS AND RECALLS. I CAME ACROSS THE DAMINONCRYSLER RECALL NO. 13. THE RECALL HAD DESCRIBED THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING, SO I RESEARCHED MY VIN AND IT STALED THAT THE RECALL NO. 13 HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED ON JEEP. NOW MY JEEP IS STUCK IN LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT RESET. IT WILL NOT SHIFT AND THE ABS, BRAKE AND ENGINE LIGHTS STAY ON. IS THERE A WAY TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT SERVICE DID THEY DID WHEN IT WAS RECALLED IN 2005 (IF ANY)? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE RECALLS P73 AND 41 FOR OVER A YEAR. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A YEAR!!! I HAVE NOTIFIED JEEP NUMEROUS TIMES, AND YET THE PART HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCED. I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH NO CAR FOR 1 YEAR. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR UBER, TAXIS, RENTALS, BUSES, TRAINS, AND HAVE WALKED EVERYWHERE DUE TO THIS RECALL. IT HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY. JEEP HAS NOT ONCE COMPENSATED ME. EVERY TIME I CALL, THEY SAY NEXT MONTH. THIS HAD BEEN FOR ONE YEAR NOW! THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON 66, 395, AND 495 INTERSTATES. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR JEEP TO DO SOMETHING? I HAD ONE REP SAID WE'LL REIMBURSE ME, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO REIMBURSE ME, FOR A PART THAT'S NOT EVEN IN PRODUCTION. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE I RESIDE LAST YEAR ABOUT THE LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE PLEASE FIX THE ELECTRICAL BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR, THE REFUSED , BECAUSE THEY STATED, THEY NEVER SAW IT. I WAS TOLD I CAN RENT A CAR FOR THEM, ON MY OWN DIME FOR 40.00 A DAY!! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WHEN IT'S JEEP'S RECALL. I HAVE LOST OUT ON JOBS, BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS REALLY SERIOUS.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE ETC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I MANGED TO COAST HOME AT 15 MPH SPEED WHERE I CALL CALL THE DEALER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED TOTHE SHOP FOR REPAIR. A THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WAS IDENTIFIED AS BEING SHORTED AND THEY REPLACED IT AT $1508.20 COST TO ME. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT MY CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT CAUSING THE ELECTRIC SEATS TO RETRACT AND ENGINE BEGIN TO SHUT DOWN. THIS REQUIRED A NEW POWER MODULE AT $1543 COST TO ME. THE RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM NHTSA 14V-438 HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED BY CHRYSLER SINCE SEPTEMBER 2014. I FEEL THE EARLIER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS COULD BE VERY LIKELY RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE OTHER REPAIRS, ALSO THE PLASTIC SUPPORT THAT HOLDS ALL THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES SECURE TO THE DOOR HAVE ALL BROKEN BECAUSE OF A KNOW DESIGN FAILURE CHRYSLER HAS ON THESE VEHICLES. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO IS IN IT WHILE DRIVING. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED OR A FIRE IN THE CAR, YOU COULD NOT ESCAPE FROM CAR IN TIME TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. IF THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT THERE SHOULD BE ONE.

IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER EVERYTIME THE CAR CAME TO A STOP OR IDLED. 3 DAYS LATER, THE CAR LOST POWER IN SPEED LIMIT TRAFFIC AFTER GOING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS. SINCE THEN, IT LOSES POWER AT EVERY STOP. IF I AM NOT AWARE, THE CAR ROLLS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I TOOK THE CAR TO MY NEAREST DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND A PART HASN'T BEEN SENT TO DEALERS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY DID WAS PUT ME ON A LIST! THEY APOLOGIZED FOR ME NOT HAVING A CAR TO DRIVE AND THAT WAS IT! THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A TIMELINE OF WHEN THE PART WOULD BE READY. THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE LOST MY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION UNLESS I WANT TO RISK MY AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE, AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AT FAULT!

MY JEEP AT TIMES LURCHES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE NORMALLY. AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE RPMS WILL JUMP AND NOT GO DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN IGNITION OFF, TURN BACK ON AND GO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF TRYING TO GET ON HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE, THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF CAUSING ME TO LOSE BRAKING AND STEERING POWER. THE IGNITION RECALL IS WHAT IS GOING ON HOWEVER CHRYSLER/JEEP DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOR ARE THE OFFERING ANY POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. THEY ARE REFUSING A RENTAL CAR DUE TO THE ISSUE NOT BEING LIFE THREATENING. HOWEVER, HAVING A VEHICLE SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING IS VERY LIFE THREATENING TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND INNOCENT BYSTANDERS AROUND ME ON THE ROAD.
