July 8, 2019 i was driving my 2010 jeep grand cherokee laredo on a busy highway in a construction area of the highway when jeep started losing speed as if it had switched itself into neutral. i was in very heavy traffic when this happened. i managed to get jeep out of the way of heavy traffic behind me. i waited about five minutes then turned the win key on and jeep started up and i drove less than a mile jeep started losing speed again barely moving. managed to coast off to side of road. waited again for about five minutes turn key on jeep started up again. drove about two miles same thing happened again. let jeep sit for a few more minutes at which time i was thinking this jeep is a death trap waiting to happen. started jeep up again and this time i managed to get home without any more loss of speed as if jeep was in neutral mode. i am now very uneasy each time i drive my jeep worrying if it will do this again. very dangerous situation to be in.
The vehicle will start on it's own. you turn it off and it will restart whether you are in the vehicle or not. the vehicle will lock and unlock several times while in or out of the car. the fob will not open the locks or they jump between locked and unlocked by themselves. the windows will open on their own especially the lift window in the back when driving or sitting still. the panic alarm goes off without a reason.it will start on it's own in the middle of the night or in a parking lot. makes no difference whether i am there or not .dealership says they can not get it to do these things.it bought the vehicle in june and it has been happening since then.
The air on the passenger side does not heat up. even set on the highest temperature, the air coming out is cold and a clicking sound comes from near the glove box.
The key fobs require excessive pressure to insert into and remove from the ignition.
The ignition switch won't start my jeep put key in and nothing no clicks no trying to start nothing then after sometime it will start then again it won't start
Transmission - not shifting or sluggish shifting from 1st to 2nd taking turns delayed shifting when on freeway does not shift past 1st gear happens from dead stop or when taking turn at 10 mph is this a recall issue? or what is the cause this has been happening intermittently since october 2017
My interior passenger door handle broke while opening the door to exit the vehicle.
I was driving along on the highway about 65 mph and all of a sudden the engine light oil light and the 23. electronic throttle control (etc) warning light all came on in that order and the engine just died.. no safe place to park and no power steering but was able to get it in a driveway off the road.. it would crank but not turn over.. had to have it towed home.. called chrysler to see if it had any recalls and they said there were none..then had it scanned read p0340 camshaft sensor had that replaced still did not work.. the mechanic called two days later and said that it was the tipm module and had it towed over to the dealership.. he said he had to dig to find the recall and that my jeep was manufactured in feburary 2010 and it falls into the recall.. this is not the first time i have had electrical issues such as the radio shutting down and restarting for no reason the remote having new batteries and not unlocking the vehicle..
Key fobs do not last long enough; this is unacceptable; manufacturers should be made responsible for designing a major element of vehicle function as this to last the life of the vehicle as any normal key would operate.
