Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Have has to replace water pump 4 times for leaking. replaced 2 power steering pumps. transmission and slipped and chirped since i bought it. noticed metal shaving in my oil.

The vehicle's gauges will turn off while driving randomly. the speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge will all zero out for unspecified amounts of time. sometimes 10 seconds, other times until the vehicle is started back up. this occurs when the vehicle is in motion. sometimes it causes the car to completely shut off and come back on. while shut off, the car sounds like it is struggling to continue its forward progress. this happens every couple thousand miles (2-3 months apart). once the car corrects itself, the check engine light appears. after starting the car 2-3 times, the misfire corrects itself and the check engine light turns off.

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.

The engine light seems to stay on and the tire light keeps blinking off and on i bought this vehicle 10 25 2019

I truck is not pulling good, i have to really step on the gas to make it go. even if iam not going up a hill, i have to press the gas hard to make it go.

My brakes lock on me when driving or stopping my engine shakes and raddled when stopped at a light or parked

Recently bought our jeep and have dimming lights due to low idle and also have a problem with starting it. there are times it wont start unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected 5 mins later and that's after shutting the vehicle off after driving it. from what i have read there is an issue with the wire harness from the battery. the low idle is making the lights dim throughout the vehicle and from what i have read on that it needs a system update that can cost roughly 1000 which i dont have. my wife also said while she was driving home that the transmission slipped on her for no apparent reason. she said she pulled over and put it in park and back in gear and then it acted fine.

While in motion the motor randomly jerked hard and made a very loud clinck, clinck noise

1st recall recieved in 2014 about a moth after purchase said the ignition switch was faulty causing loss of power. to date have had the ignition replaced 2x. it stil looses power while in motion from 45mph to 70mph. have had many repairs done claiming to fix the problem and nothing has worked. dealership keeps saying they don't know what the problem is. when it loose all power i have approx. 20 seconds to make it to the shoulder. have almost been hit several times on the freeway. this happens on a daily basis. my husband and i feel like it may be an electrical shortage somewhere that no one can seem to find

Valve seat dropped into #4 cylinder head on a warm restart. vehicle was stationary & not overheated. vehicle was at rest in a parking lot. catastrophic engine failure followed.

I too have had the issue with the seat belts not locking unless pushing down red release .before that happened though,the latch lost contact and bell chimed till ignition was turned off as the seat registers when body is in seat.i called chrysler and they acted stupid but did give me maneuver to deactivate chime which can be found on youtube also.my other issue happened within the first 500 miles of being new.exhaust manifold on left side failed and they said it was the gasket and fixed.then 2 years later the other side did same thing and they fixed.then after warranty was over the left side went again.this time they said it was cracked stud and they wanted 1200 to drill it out and replace.i called chrysler out on this and after back and forth they finally took care of it.well that same side has noise again huh

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep grand cherokee. while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle shook vigorously without warning. in addition, the contact observed smoke and oil leaking underneath the vehicle. the vehicle was towed home. an independent mechanic diagnosed that a piece fractured from the engine and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 153,000.

Driving down the road engine revved down, pulled over immediately called tow truck. took into dealership they said the timing chain had broke and engine was no good. replacing motor due to still having a warranty on it. hoping this does not happen with the replacement engine. i have noticed on forums that has happened to numerous others wondering why no recall has been issued. oil changes were all on time and plugs and wires changed at recommended time. this should not happen an engine with 105000 miles. *tr

The faulty valve seats failed and destroyed my engine which left me stranded while traveling out of town. engineers know the design was faulty as revision to address this situation were made in 2008 to correct the problem for the newer models. a recall should be issued for the earlier models to have the revised seats installed. this is negligent and will hurt the chrysler name if not addressed soon. i had just pulled of the highway to refuel with no indication of any problems. the jeep would not restart after filling the tank.
