Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. while driving at 40 mph, the vehicle failed to shift gears. the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to golling chrysler dodge jeep ram (2405 s telegraph rd, bloomfield hills, mi 48302 (248) 334-3600) where it was diagnosed there was to much transmission fluid in vehicle. the third and fourth solenoid slipped. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 97,006.

Received 'transmission over temp' message on dashboard after about 10 miles of driving in the morning. when the car has been in the heat for a while, the message could appear before 10 miles (sometimes immediately). the fan turns on and there is a definite lag in acceleration. along with this error, i also get the 'service, tire pressure system' message consistently. i've visited my mechanic with both issues and they thought it was fixed by the new battery, but they only drove the car for 8 miles to attempt getting the transmission hot, nor did they probably hit a bump/pothole to trigger the tire pressure system. they're puzzled as to why those messages are popping up because they don't see any further issues with the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. the contact stated that the transmission overheated, which could cause the vehicle to shut off. the vehicle was taken to crown dodge chrysler jeep ram (6300 king dr, ventura, ca 93003), but they were unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they replaced the main computer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 151,633.

Abs eas and traction controll warning lights on again with service 4wd system message after completing 1st recall, vehicle was just started and put in to drive acceleration to 12 mph causes bad grinding noise and loss of power just about enough to get you in to the middle of an intersection very dangerous then it seems to catch and regains power the warning lights stay on and you can drive it all day with no issues but as soon as you turn it off and back on it will do it again.

After purchasing this car pre-owned in 2008 we began having issues with the transmission shifting. after bringing back into dealership for diagnostic testing, they found nothing. this went on for a period of two years, with them even keeping the car over a period of time. still nothing on the diagnostics. throughout the years we would notice a strong downshift when coming to stops and a "chug" when shifting out of low gears. fast forward to 2018. the jeep finally quit shifting out of first gear...the rpms would race up and the car just wouldn't sift even when using shifter stick manually to the + or -. brought to local mechanic. did diagnostics. found shifter was broken and replaced and reset. a few days went by and it started happening again. mechanic said that rear wheel sensor had gone bad and was throwing of computer brain of car, so we had him replace that. all was great. husband takes car on short trip and while passing a car in the left lane on interstate 10 it once aging chugs down hard and he loses gears...has to pull ...

My vehicle was in motion on the highway, on a straight-away. i heard a loud boom, then my vehicle started to smoke. i pulled off the road; and called for a tow. the mechanic stated that it was the transfer case seal that blew. he changed it and added fluid, but the noise is still there. he said that if it doesn't go away. now, the jeep won't shift out of first gear. it has been sitting in my driveway since i picked it up from the mechanic on 12/4/17.

Esm (electronic shift module) is faulty on these models; 2006 jeep grand cherokee. this issue does not allow the shifter to communicate with the transmission. therefore the vehicle does not know what gear it needs to be in. after having reresearched online this is a know, common issue. this is a serious danger as the vehicle goes into "limp" mode; (won't properly accelerate). this can happen under many driving conditions, city or highway. imagine entering traffic at a busy intersection and suddenly losing the ability to accelerate. i have experienced this, as have many other individuals according to internet research. it seems that chrysler knows of the issue. why hasn't there been a recall?

When driving 60 mph, going down a hill, clutch in transfer case slipped. causing slipping/grinding noise and vehicle must be stopped, put in park and restarted to reset the vehicle. this happened once, i was afraid to drive the vehicle. the jeep was taken to a mechanic who said that the clutch in the transfer case slipped.

I was advised by larry h miller in albuquerque nm that my recall was fixed and that i would need to pay for a diagnostic to see why the " service 4wheel drive system" light was still on even though i had been there 2 times in past and issue was said to be resolved by a system update. i left the dealership after i was told it was about 280$ that i would have to pay to get the issue fixed-
