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 ...

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 ...
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. while the vehicle was idling, it overheated. additionally, while driving at unknown speeds, the temperature gauge increased to hot and the vehicle overheated and failed to start. also, there was an abnormal burning odor in the vehicle and smoke appeared from underneath the hood. the "transmission overheating" message was also displayed. the contact called piedmont chrysler jeep dodge (4015 clemson blvd, anderson, sc 29621, (864) 260-5750) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 05v396000 (power train). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 247,000.
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!!
Will go into 3rd gear when it is started and has to be turned off and restarted before it will go into drive. also it shows a code of " service 4x drive" at random times.
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. most of the time i can turn the car off and back on to fix it but sometimes it doesnt work that easily. this happens at least 2-3 times per week.
Transmission stuck in 3rd gear while driving down the road.
September/october of 2017 as i was driving home on the parkway my vehicle was not picking up speed. no power so had to pull over to the side of road and the drove to pep boys to have the mechanics take a look at it. was in the shop for about a week.
