Its all on city streets when I'm driving the ABS lights come on and my engine lights comes on and off I have to shut the car off and restart it then it says everything is ok. When I come to a stop light and stop it dies but starts right back
When describing what happened with your vehicle, tell us specifically if the vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway, turning, braking, etc. Describe the fault or problem that created the unsafe condition. If you know, state the component part or system that you believe may be the cause of the safety risk. If you are uncertain, simply state unknown and provide your best assessment of the incident and cause in your description. If you have other information - repair invoices, police accident reports, insurance claim forms, etc. - scan them electronically and upload them along with your complaint. If your complaint is about a recall and you have the recall number available, please provide it. Additionally, if you later obtain information and evidence related to your complaint, please retain it for at least five years, in the event that we contact you for further information. Less

At random times while driving, while in park, and just after startup, all dashboard gauges, lights, and power goes out, headlights turn off, but the engine still runs. I cannot see what is in front of me at night, I cannot tell my speed, I cannot see my fuel level, etc. The outage lasts from 2-30 seconds before every single warning light will illuminate for a few seconds, or flicker on and off, and then return to normal. I replaced the ignition 2 years ago from a previous recall notice. This is extremely dangerous because I never know when it will happen, it could happen at night on a heavily trafficked street and I lose all power and lights!

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
I was driving on the highway going about 65-70 and I lost all throttle response so my speed fell tremendously and I put on my hazards and I had to get over avoiding traffic. Almost got into a wreck before I got into the emergency lane. Once I pulled over I turned it off and turned my car back on and everything seemed fine. The same thing happened to me twice before I got home. It was my scariest ride home. I called the dealer ship and I took it in. They told me to replace my throttle body so I did this and had it reprogrammed. Drove it for a few days and it did the same thing. They said this it might be a bad throttle body but I've been reading around and a lot of other people have this problem and there dealerships has no idea what it's is.
1. door handles broken on 3 doors 2. electrical system - lights flickering and completely going out while driving at night. 3. transmission slips out of gear while driving and will not always change gears. Found where other Grand Cherokee vehicles were recalled for these conditions but not the one I own.
Electronic shifter module had gone out. Park reverse neutral in and drive are the only functions available. To downshift from drive fourth, third, second, and first have lost all ability. Primarily the driving of the vehicle is through the streets of san francisco and the ability to downshift is necessary to avoid collision and to climb the steep hills. Not only for myself, but for anybody else with this problem for example: Driving to an exit ramp from speeds of 65 and needing to decelerate to 25 would be very difficult and major where on the brake system. Now for climbing the hills of san francisco in a high gear puts a major stress on the transmission. Please take into consideration that the electronic shifter module should be recalled for safety. This vehicle has already been recalled for an ignition and has been replaced but I received several notices from Jeep starting out as simple and is nicely put his please see your service dealership there is a recall and to the extreme of receiving notices that said your vehicle has a recall and you are putting other peoples lives in danger by neglecting to have it fixed. I have done my homework and the ignition and was told from a dealership that it was not necessary since I only use the key with no keychain. I have also done my homework on the electronic shifter module and there are many people who have made videos or testimonies about their Jeep having the problem of the ability not to downshift through the electronic shifter module. In the past 12 years I pray that there has been no accidents in direct relation to this electronic shifter module but if you're a driver you know that every gear on the vehicle is there for a reason and rely on the safety of the vehicle.
On 04/23/2016 I took my vehicle for a recall, P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 today is 7/10/2016 and the vehicle has done the same thing twice, all of a sudden all the lights in the dash board go on I loose power and after a while it starts up again. Like I said before this has happen twice now I lost my cruise control and a service electrical brake system is coming on and engine light. I fear that this is going to cause me to have an accident one day and there for I have been using only secondary roads that don't have much traffic.
Well they say third times a charm...or will it be death? the first incident happened when I was alone in the vehicle as I was making a left hand turn across traffic my Jeep just shut down leaving me powerless..by that I mean nothing no steering no breaks no nothing! thank the gods there was no oncoming traffic at the time. The second time was a bit more nerving as my 6 year old son and myself were on the highway keeping up with the 65-70 mph flow of cars, SUV's & tractor trailers when all of the sudden my engine power just slumbered off to a crawl. If I had been in one lane over and 3 seconds behind we would not be here today to tell this unsightly story! again thank the gods for looking over us or it would be another statistic on the road and another young child left without a mother (my daughter that wasn't with me at the time)so I ask how many must die or get injured before manufactures man up to their mistakes? the loss of money is nothing it can be replaced but lives can not!!!
Jeep shudders during engagement /acceleration. Ac evaporator condensate water causing shuddering in vehicle. Vehicle appears to want to shut off at stop light, RPM's drop drastically and shudders at take off
Vehicle without any warning, stalls, loses power, will not accelerate, loss of power means loss stearing and braking. This has occured three times, almost resulting in catastrophic accidents.
About eight months ago Chrysler contacted me via a letter informing me of a recall for unintended changes in ignition switch position in my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have called them three times already since I received the letter notice when will they fix my car. Chrysler said that soon they will send me another letter once they have the parts to fix my car so I can take my car to get repaired at the dealer. Eight months have passed and Chrysler has not contacted me to fix my car. Everytime I call their recall hotline all they say they will contact me next month and nothing is being done to fix my car. This is the main reason I am disputing this issue with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration due to neglect by Chrysler. I need help to get my car fixed. Driving my car is unsafe and riskfull to my life and my family.
I have been waiting and waiting to get this problem rendered. I received a recall notice about the faulty ignition switch and the slew of possible fatal consequences should anything occur. The recall notice is P41/NHTSA 14V-438, and ive been told I would receive a second recall notice in September 2015. Well, im still waiting!!. meanwhile I am driving a potentially dangerous vehicle and have been for quite awhile. I have no choice. I have already noticed my check engine light stays lit on my dash, as well as my airbag light as well indicating that I already have issues occurring that are according to the recall notice is linked to this problem. I want this fixed. I cant afford to buy another vehicle and need the one I have. However, am I suppossed to get seriously injured or killed first" then what, ? a family member receives a check? who cares about the money if I'm killed" I am seriously annoyed and concerned, please render this issue. And I'm sick of hearing "we dont have the part". I need this vehicle fixed now!!! its been too long already.
We received a recall notice June 2014 for ignition switch. My vehicle dash board, gauges hear, air, everything shuts off at least 5 times a week. I am told from subclass that the part is still not in. In doing research, I have found the some cars completing shut down. Some while driving 60 on a highway. This needs to be fixed. I feel that over a year is long enough. I need my Jeep fixed and safe to drive around with my 4 year old grandson in the back seat. Thanks, deb
