2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE JEEP IN 2009 BUT IT WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ONE. ALL LIGHTS WENT OFF INSIDE & OUT. THERE WAS SOME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING & THE BRAKING ALSO. THE MOTOR DID NOT DIE NOR DID THE A/C OR RADIO GO OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASH A FEW TIMES & FOR A FEW SECONDS I LOOSE ALL THE LIGHTS & EXPERIENCE THE BRAKING & STEERING PROBLEMS. I DID RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN SEPTEMBER, 2014 STATING THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE PARTS FOR REPAIR BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE AND AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE. *TR

STARTING IN FEB. 2012 THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT WE LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND IS DRIVABLE. WE WOULD EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM ONCE EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THIS IS HAPPENING HAS INCREASED WITH THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRING 3-18-15 WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND NEARLY AVOIDING A CRASH OFF THE ROADWAY. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM JEEP (P41) BUT EVERYTIME WE CALL THEY TELL US THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT JEEP BUT AM LEFT ON HOLD FOR OVER 40 MINUTES. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

INCIDENT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. ENGINE, SHUT DOWN BRIEFLY. WHEN I STEPPED ON BRAKE IT VIBRATED SEVERELY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP, WAS UNABLE TO STEER.

I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD FURNISH ME WITH A SAFE VEHICLE. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE.THE HIGHWAY DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME, BEHIND ME AND TO MY RIGHT. MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED DECREASING IN SPEED RAPIDLY, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IT WAS AS IF MY CAR HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. I HAD NO WHERE TO GO AS IT WAS SANDWICHED IN BETWEEN SEMIS ALL GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS UNTIL I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PUT THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTARTED IT.I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE TULSA,OK JEEP DEALERSHIP. TO SAY I WAS SHAKEN UP IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THEY RAN TESTS ON IT. CAME BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME THE CAR CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY FINE AND EITHER MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION OR MY KEYS WERE TOO HEAVY. MY KEYS ONLY HAD MY CAR KEY, HOUSE KEY AND MY KEY FOB ON IT AND I KNEW MY KNEE HAD NOT HIT THE IGNITION. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM THEN ON. THE INCIDENTS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER AND CORE AGAIN.SOMETIMES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BUT ALSO LOTS OF TIMES AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED UNDER 25MPH OR WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO START (LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE TRYING TO TURN). I CONTINUED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I RECEIVED THE EXACT SAME ANSWER EVERY SINGLE TIME. THEY TREATED ME LIKE I WAS MAKING THE INCIDENTS UP. THE INCIDENTS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND AFTER MY SECOND CHILD WAS BORN WE WERE FINALLY IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR. WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL IT FOR ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT KBB SAYS ITS WORTH. AND WE ALSO FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T SELL IT CONSCIOUSLY KNOWING IT COULD KILL SOMEONE.THESE CARS ARE A DEATH TRAP AND BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL SITUATIONS FAMILIES ARE FORCED TO KEEP. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4 LIMITED EDITION. I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES THE DAY OF THE PURCHASE. THE TPMS-TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM BEGAN FAILING A SHORT TIME THEREAFTER. THE LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD FLASHED TELLING ME MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW ON VARIOUS TIRES. MY WIFE WAS THE SOLE DRIVER OF THE JEEP AND SHE WAS CONSTANTLY CALLING TELLING ME A TIRE WAS FLAT. SHE WORKED EVENING HOURS. I TOOK THE JEEP INTO LES SCHWAB FOR REPAIR. THEY ADVISED ME THE PRICE FOR THE SENSORS WAS MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS CONSTANTLY PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRES AND HAD TO RESET THE VEHICLE SERVICE MILEAGE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES HESITATED WHEN DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL WENT MUSHY, I HAD NO BRAKING CONTROL AND THE ABS STARTED CYCLING LIKE I WAS ON A PATCH OF ICE. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS. THE ESP, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THE BRAKES WORKED BUT ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL DID NOT. I PERIODICALLY HAVE INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKES CYCLE ON VARIOUS WHEELS, I ASSUME THIS IS THE ABS CYCLING THE BRAKES. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME RANGING FROM HOURS TO A COUPLE DAYS, THE AFFECTED INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE WHOLE PROCESS STARTS OVER AGAIN WITHIN A FEW SECONDS TO MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT THREW OFF TO MANY ERROR CODES TO TROUBLESHOOT. THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES AND ASKED ME TO RETURN WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I JUST RETURNED THE CAR THE SECOND TIME. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. *TR
