1. Engine over heating problems numerous times and coolant leak. Even after replacement of radiator and hoses. 2. Went to pick up jeep from mechanic due to oil leak, when they brought it around, I noticed pink fluid dripping. Had Transmission serviced in March/April 2020 due to a leak., Flushed system, new filters and fluid. Last few months vehicle says "Transmission over Temp" a few times. Replaced transmission pan, due to a leak, new fluid added, in September 2022. Vehicle indicated "Transmission over Temp" a few weeks later. Didn't drive it a few days, haven't seen the warning sign yet. 3. Numerous oil leaks. Serpitean belt replaced along with other repairs. 4. When I bought vehicle, it had no heat and coolant was leaking in on passenger side floor. 5. Jeep shifts to 3rd gear and won't shift down or back into drive until I turn off vehicle and back on. Very dangerous I was a busy road, US 41 heading north, and had to pull over.

Automatic Transmission contamination caused from rain water or AC condensation dripping directly on to transmission dipstick tube . During times of heavy rainfall, contaminated transmission fluid will overflow and puddle underneath the vehicle. Transmission fluid has been analyzed at Blackstone Laboratories and provided results showing h2o being present in the fluid, with no traces of engine coolant. Transmission shutters and shifts hard, reaches excessive temperatures under moderate loads. Dealership and independent transmission shop both have acknowledged an issue with the transmission and a water contamination.

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!!

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO (3.7 LITER V6) HAS ABOUT 78,500 MILES. IN 2018 MY JEEP HAD AN ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT INCIDENT. I HAD THE OBDII READ BY O'REILLY AUTO PARTS FOR THE FAILURE CODES. THE CODES DOWNLOADED WERE U0404 & P0700. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED, 'DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY', HE WAS RIGHT - THE FAILURE CODE (DASH LIGHT) WENT AWAY. NOW, FEB. 7, 2020 MY ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON. AGAIN I WENT TO O'REILLY AUTO PART TO HAVE THE OBDII ERROR CODES READ. AGAIN, THE ERROR CODES CAME UP U0404 & P0700. I DID SOME RESEARCH (ON THE WEB) AND FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT ADDRESSED THESE TWO EXACT FAILURE CODES. PLEASE SEE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, WEB ADDRESS, BELOW THAT EXPLAINS THE FAILURE AND REPAIR. HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=YD71KNUO2AU THIS VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS THE REASON FOR THESE TWO ERROR CODES. THE SHIFTING CONSOLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) HAS ALLOWED (OVER TIME) THE TRANSFER OF MATERIAL BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT DRIVE SELECTION POINTS (DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK) ON THE PCB TO BE SHORT CIRCUITED (BRIDGED) CAUSING A FALSE SIGNAL TO THE OTHER CONTROL DEVICES. THIS IS NOT LISTED AS A SERVICEABLE ITEM BY JEEP. AS A RESULT JEEP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILURE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STATE THAT THIS IS A SERVICE PREVENTABLE FAILURE. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY COMPLAINT.

FIRST OFF THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING RIGHT. I WAS LIKE IT WAS GETTING STUCK IN 2ND GEAR OR SOMETHING. THE RPMS WERE RAISING HIGH BEFORE IT WAS SHIFTING. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, TOOK IT IN TO GET A THE CODE READ CODE WAS P0700 AND P0562 AND P0750 SO WE CHANGED THE BATTERY, THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTERS CHANGED. STILL SAME PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON WITH THE SAME CODE . TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP THEY SAID IT IS THE SOLENOID PACK. NOW I HAVE READ A LOT OF THE JEEP CHRYSLER FORUMS AND A WHOLE LOT OF THESE JEEPS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SO I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN SELL SUCH AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE WITH SO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE!! I THINK YOU NEED TO FIX OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE JEEPS!! A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ASAP ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS!!! I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL AS OF YET ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. YET THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS YET ON THIS TRANSMISSION. I EXPECT A CALL OR EMAIL ABOUT THIS CONCERN ASAP.

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.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I RECEIVE A MESSAGE ON THE INFO CENTER DISPLAYING "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" THE FAN KICKS ON HIGH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 25MPH. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES AWAY. HAD MY VEHICLE AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HAD IT THOROUGHLY LOOKED THROUGH AND THE PCM IS TO BLAME. IT IS VERY COMMON ON THESE VEHICLES. I FEEL IT IS A SAFTEY CONCERN DUE TO THE "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP" DISPLAYING EVERY COUPLE OF MILES AS I DRIVE. CALLING CHRYSLER DIRECTLY TO ASK OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND HUNG UP ON ME. NOT HAPPY!!

THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY NOT WANT TO BEGIN DRIVING AFTER PUTTING INTO DRIVE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND THEN YOU WILL HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD "THUMP" AND THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE V8 W/HEMI. TOOK THE JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS FOR STALLING. THEY DETECTED A LEAK FROM THE AC UNIT AND A SEAL THAT WAS LETTING THE WATER ENTER THE TRANSMISSION THEY FLUSHED IT REFILLED IT. LOOK THAT RECALLS FOUND A RECALL NUMBER E-13 ON A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT STATED THE SAME THING CEPT FOR IF THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS COMPROMISED IT WOULD BE REPLACED. CALL THE CHRYSLER NUMBER OFFERED ON THE WEBSITE AND ASK THEM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO THEY STATED NO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SO IT'S GOING TO BE AN EXPENSE TO ME BECAUSE IT WASN'T STATED FOR THE V8 ENGINE IT WAS ONLY STATED FOR THE 3.7 LITER ENGINE. THIS IS VERY TROUBLING BECAUSE IF THEY DIDN'T DETECT THAT AND THE OTHER VEHICLES THEN OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU LOSE POWER THROUGHOUT YOUR VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE ON THE HIGHWAY OR EVEN A BUSY ROAD. I STATED TO THEM IT IS WORD FOR WORD AND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THEY STILL. AND BEING ON DISABILITY AT THE MOMENT AND TRYING TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS AND STILL PAYING THE CAR OFF IS VERY DIFFICULT. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED BY THE CHRYSLER. IF THEY NEGLECTED TO SEE ANY ISSUES IN THE V8 MODEL THAT OCCURRED IN THE 3.7 LITER ENGINE MODEL THERE WILL PROBABLY BE LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND THEY CAN'T HELP A JEEP OWNER OUT PROBABLY WILL NEVER BITE YOU AGAIN. LET'S JUST HOPE MY ENGINE DON'T CATCH ON FIRE EITHER. BEING AFRAID TO DRIVE A CAR IS NOT OK EXPECIALLY WHEN IT'S THE ONLY CAR YOU HAVE AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR OR BUY A NEW ONE CUZ YOU'RE ON DISABILITY.
