While driving the gear lights on the dash will all have a square around them. When it does this the truck becomes in neutral, and is unable to accelerate. This has happened numerous times since we purchased it in Feb 2015. This is quite dangerous and luckily we have not had an accident. Updated 09/17/15 it was determined, the transmission control module needed to be replaced. Updated 09/22/15
I took my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee in to the dealer to have my reprogram final drive control mod recall P73 fixed. While I was there the dealer informed me that the recall did not fixed anything, and their was nothing else that they could do for me. As of today 7/1/15 my 4 wheel low still does not work. About 1 years ago I had recall N23 preformed on my Jeep which imedially caused the 4 low to not work. Jeep still has not fixed the issue that they caused. My 4 low worked before I took my Jeep into the dealer to have recalled `N 23 peformed.
While driving the vehicle at night, the dash panel lights and headlights began to flicker on and off repeatedly. Turned the headlights off then back on and the problem went away for a few minutes then started again. The next day the service engine soon light came on and I lost acceleration ability, RPM's went up but the vehicle wouldn't accelerate while already in gear on a main road at a stop sign. Codes P0700 and P2767 were set.

We have been waiting over 9 months since our initial letter from Chrysler notifying us that our electrical switch was questionable. There is also a recall out for power train parts where the Jeep may slip into neutral--this has happened several times, to the point where we are unsafe driving it. Any contact with Chrysler has resulted in "we've forwarded your complaint to our parts department" and then no response. We were told that no parts are in manufacturing--there aren't even parts to fix the problems!! we cannot drive our Jeep for fear of death / injury. Please help us resolve this problem.

Driving 30 mph, after about 3 miles of driving my check engine light came on. Followed the tips to check the code and it says "transmission over temp". everything seems to be ok at the time but I'm sure this will eventually cause a problem. A couple months ago the whole instrument cluster cut off and on 2 times in a couple minute window but that seems to have been an isolated incident since it hasn't happened since.

While driving at a speed of approximately 55 mph a noise occurred in the rear of the Jeep. The noise became louder as I slowed down and finally stop. I had it towed to my dealer approximately 85 miles from where it happened. He said the rear end was badly damaged. The cost would be expensive, somewhere between $4000 to $5000. I have no idea how this could happen. My Jeep is a personal use vehicle only, very easy miles and always serviced. I feel this failure is manufacture issue.

While driving on a highway, I noticed my car slowed down and even after applying the gas pedal, it didn't help. After pressing the brakes and pushing the gas pedal again, then it started accelerating. The engine light would blink and lately it stays on. The check engine light stays on and off but once I noticed that when I started the car again, the check engine light was off but I lost one front headlight. I was told by the dealership that I needed to replace a spark plug which cost me almost $300. Now the check engine light is on again and I suspect as other owners have shared it in the forum that it's the ignition switch that's faulty. I just wish NHTSA would do something about this asap. The letter came the mail stating there is a recall on my car but nothing is being done to correct the problem. Are you waiting for severe accidents to happen before you really force Jeep to correct this issue"?? do people have to lose their lives before you act on this problem"
