Jeep was parked and when returned to start , a lot of clanking in engine. i had the car towed and was told a valve seat dropped and the motor has to be replaced.
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.
Been waiting sometime for the dealer to get his part for my recall in addition to this the transmission seems to be smoking and the motor is running erratic i believe this is a big piece of junk and government should buy back. the jeep was a biggest lemon ever. was driving it from yogurtland was driving it from yogurtland only a few miles away on the way back it was smoking like a freight train the tranny was slipping in the motor is running erratic

I purchased my 05 jeep grand cherokee 3.7l v6 with 79k miles on it june 21, 2016. in july of 2017, it started to bog down with a constant shutter when starting up and accelerating, the cel was also on. i took it in to have the cel checked out and it was showing 22 codes saying that the o2 sensor had a high voltage circuit. upon examinng and testing the o2 sensor there was nothing found to be wrong. a couple weeks later the cel came on again, but this time it showed the same o2 sensor was running lean and rich at the same time. i replaced the sensor at that time. now it is showing another code p0430 and the timing chain for the electronic shift transmission is jumping. i was informed this happens to these transmissions all the time and there is no repair for it. all i can do is drive it until it goes and buy a new transmission. this is not fair

My jeep jumps to third gear randomly, and it ends up jittering and shaking. my car got stuck so many times and ended up being stalled on a busy highway and almost got into an accident. i was once parked and had shifted to drive but instead the jeep suddenly jumped to 3rd and my car started to go backwards and ended up hitting another car behind me. i had to pay the guy $500 and also got all the fluids and oils changed in hopes of getting this fixed, but to no avail. yesterday, i spent $450 on these fluid and oil changes only to have the problem continue. thousands of people are having the same issues and jeep has no answers. you guys need to do a total vehicle recall since jeep has no answers. many people can die from this defect. i have a video to prove the car jumping to third and all the issues i just described.

While i was driving on a main road, my car completely shut down. my steering wheel was locked, gas and brake petal were not working, basically my car was going on its own. worst part was that it was going on a slant while other cars driving 45/50 miles per hour heading towards me. i could not stop my car, nor drive my car, nor try and steer myself to a safe location. my car just kept going. something needs to be done. i have almost lost my life 2 times already. i do not feel safe driving my vehicle. everytime i go to chrysler... they do not know what to do or what is going on. when will this be fixed and how?
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.

I was driving down the highway going approximately 65 mph when, without warning, the vehicle shut down completely. engine shut down, all power steering, braking, and power systems were lost. luckily, i was in the far right lane and was able to pull safely to the side of the road. once the vehicle came to a complete stop i was able to restart the vehicle and continue on. this is an extremely dangerous issue. after calling the dealer was told there was a recall for the symptoms described but no parts available to fix it and it could be months before it could be fixed. no offer was made to provide me with a vehicle to drive while the issue remained open. i am not going to endanger my life, my family's lives, or the lives of other drivers by continuing to operate this vehicle. the dealer should be required to provide an alternate mode of transportation to the customer if the issue cannot be resolved in a timely manor.
When it started malfunctioning, i would be just driving and my jeep would just shut off, engine, power, all the dash lights come on, and steering becomes difficult as well as braking, and now it won't start. this is extremely dangerous to be driving but the ignition switch isn't available yet, this is a known recall and now its causing me to miss work since its my only vehicle. this is unacceptable and very dangerous, this has taken far too long to fix. please help! i need a loaner!

I had my vehicle valet parked with a single key in the ignition. upon receiving my car i got into the drive seat and proceeded to push my seat forward since i had a passenger behind me and was providing extra leg room. we proceeded to leave the parking area of the hotel and at a speed of about 15 mph i turn to adjust and item on the rear floor when my knee hit the key and the entire car was switched off. i had no steering since it was in locked position and the brakes was difficult to stop. the engine was off. i am just glad i was not on the freeway at 65 mph. why is it taking chrysler (fiat) one year to get a fix for this recall?

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 was on my way to work and in mid motion the cars engine power steering and brakes shut off. luckily i was going slow enough that i was able to stop my car and restart it without any accidents. but i'm terrified the next time will i won't be so lucky.
The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the engine shut off. this has happened other times when the vehicle was stopped at a stop light. the car needed to be shut down and restarted to go again in all instances.
I was driving down a local freeway. had just merged on and began to accelerate. once reaching 65 mph the vehicle felt liken it slammed on the brakes while my foot was on the accelerator. only lasted for a second then returned to normal. 1/3 mile later is happened again. it has been going on for about a week now. have come to realize that it is most likely a torque converter or transmission. there is recalls on the vehicle for ignition also. which chrysler has yet to resolve. have they really fixed the transmission issue on this vehicle? or not? this vehicle apparently has caused many people problems and i myself have had two of these exact jeeps. both have been complete catastrophes. this problem is very scary and very unsafe for any driver. i have no money to fix the problem nor will the dealer or chrysler help with the issue. i hope you can somehow help me. i'm begging you. please do something about this. so everyone can have a safe experience on the roadways. *tr

My jeep has been experiencing loss of power and restarting while driving down rt 80. almost got myself and my pregnant girlfriend killed when it just off and restarted, i called the dealer right away and they couldn't do anything due to lack of part, we only have one car and they would not grant me a loaner, this is very unsafe, the lights on the dash all flickered then car shut down and restarted instantly and i'm sure it's causing other damage to the vehicle. i took all the key chains off an it has helped, but it's been doing it a lot more lately and it's very unsafe, when will a part become viable ?! this is redicoulus and clearly chrysler doesn't care about your saftey!
My 200 jeep grand cherokee is affected by the manufacturer recall number: p41. while driving this past weekend with my wife and two small children. the ignition switch changed positions causing the engine to shut off with steering and braking greatly reduced. thankfully i was not on the highway traveling at high speeds. this occurred in a residential neighborhood while driving 25mph. thankfully no other vehicle or pedestrian was in our path. this was extremely scary and could have been extremely dangerous and deadly. i am completely unsatisfied with chryslers responsiveness to this issue. our jeep is my wife's primary vehicle and drives my children around daily. i feel this vehicle is unfit and unsafe to drive. chrysler promised a solution by the end of the first fiscal quarter which is months past. when will a solution be available? i fell chrysler is responsible to provide my family with a safe vehicle, is a rental or loaner vehicle an option until a solution is provided? please help... *tr

Recall sent in october 2014 and as of today february 12,2015 the replacement part has still not been sent out to the dealer and there is no future date even discussed. if this is a danger and my research shows that in fact if the car ignition goes off, it can be very dangerous, then this delay is not acceptable. *tr
Car wont start on first attempt. key gets stuck between on and start vehicle loses power. *js
Recall p 51 - faulty ignition switch... reported to owners, september 2014... jeep has not provided a fix and do not have any idea when it will be available... i called jeep the customer service number on the recall notice and the voice system puts you on hold forever (i finally hung up after 1 hour)... it's obvious that jeep doesn't want to fix this problem... you need to make them do it... thanks...

While rounding a corner husbands knee bumped into ignition switch, car shut down. received recall notice in sept. 2014 and have contacted local jeep dealer several times, still no parts to fix this problem. we are following suggested handling of key fob, only the key in ignition. the danger became very present to us last night as we had just gotten off the highway where we were driving at speeds of 65 mph. this would have had a vastly different outcome going that fast. how long is it going to take before this fix takes place? we don't want to die!! had i been driving instead of my husband i would have surely panicked and wouldn't be sitting here writing you now. chrysler needs to get moving on this before we encounter a dreaded accident. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. the contact stated that while driving at night, the exterior headlights, the instrument panel, and the tail lights became inoperable. also, the check engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was a power interruption. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure recurred several times. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 65,000.
The first incident took place approximately on the above date. as my daughter, friends and i were pulling onto the road, i bumped the key with my knee and the vehicle shut off completely. everything went dead. i put it in neutral, turned the key, started it, and continued on. it has happened 3 times since then, twice with my daughter driving. we followed the recall posted by chrysler and removed everything from the key chain, moved the seat back, etc. (there is no fix offered for this). this past saturday night, 7/25/15, my 18 year old daughter was returning home from a friends house when she sneezed and as she was recovering and re-adjusting, she bumped the key and shut the car off. when this happens, everything is cut off. lights, brakes, gauges, everything. being dark, she could not see, could barely steer, brake, etc. and was basically "along for the ride". as she was in a left turn at the time, she pulled the wheel to the right to try and stay on the road and not go "beyond the turn" and crash. because the brakes were not working, she was going too fast, managed to get the car going to the right but ended up in a slide. the car slid sideways and then backwards, sliding off the road to the right side and onto a driveway where the driver side front wheel caught the culvert under the driveway, flipping the jeep onto the drivers side where it remained as it slid backwards for about 10 feet, stopping in a residents yard. thankfully, my daughter was able to climb up and out the passenger window, unharmed, go to a house and get help. because there is not a "fix" for this problem (chrysler admits this on the recall notice), i am out a vehicle because of a defect they can not/will not fix. because of the year model and mileage, i only carried liability insurance, so the damage to the vehicle will exceed the cost to repair. i feel chrysler owes me the replacement cost.
I was north bound on 95 and the key to the vehicle was tapped and the vehicle was turned off. i was traveling at 70 mph and lost all control of the vehicle. i was able to pull to the side of the highway and start the vehicle. this has happened twice, and i fear for my life when i am behind the wheel. i have received a recall notice and was told the part was not available. i was told i would be contacted when the part was available. this recall notice was issued several months ago. *tr
