The interior lights like dashboard/radio/a.c lights flicker while I'm driving. Its seems like some kind of short cause my the bulb on my right tail light seems to go out a lot more than any other light. When im parked and any door gets opened the dome lights flicker on and off even when I have it to be off when when the doors open. Also my headlights look like moist of some sort, dont see any cracks for that to happen. Due to the moisture or maybe not even related to it but the headlights dont even look like theyre
the jeep goes into limp mode and gets stuck in 2 gear I have replaced the shifter solenoid and still happens I have read about this happing to the same jeep from 2005-2010 model and this is a safety issue that need to be recalled immediately. I was driving on the highway and the jeep shifted into 2nd gear mind I was going the speed limit of 65 and it went down to 30 MPH and it almost caused a pike up on the interstate.
The ignition turns its self off when your driving down the road. It starts back up when you turn the fob, but you have to slow down to a very slow speed before the transmission will engage and this is very dangerous when it happens in heavy traffic.

I have not owner this vehicle for very long but while driving the engine will tune off! The engine isnt stalling it straight tunes off at low speeds or high speeds. It will tune off while accelerating almost like its miss firing. Most time the vehicle will recover on it own but ultimately will tune off. This is important becuase it dose this while on the highway, in traffic and it unsafe not to mention scary.

I have owned this Jeep since approximately 2010 and is in great condition. This has been a great vehicle and has recently began to give us these issues. 1. Something is definitely wrong with the electrical system. It is available for inspection upon request. 2. Temperature gauge not reading, drivers side rear tail light and front passenger side marker lights do not work. Directional and brake light functions work only. Partial illumination on instrument panel, driver side window switch intermittently works, windshield washer intermittently works, defogger / vent function partially working, 1 horn working and vehicle reliability is the safety issue. 3. My mechanic looked at it and is was NOT surprised about all the issues at once. He mentioned the TIPM having issues as many other of his customers having the same issues. 4. My vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else but my mechanic. 5. There were engine light warning lamps that suddenly came on when the lights started to not work, then the other issues followed. Since this is an electrical issue, the vehicle has a possibility of shutting down while driving, as has happened to others.
Electrical issues on a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee purchased June 2020. Car keeps cutting off. The ignition key seem to be sticking between the ON and START position. Constantly having to pull onto the side of the rode or having to hurry and put my hazard lights on because car cuts off. I have taken it to the jeep dealership 2-3 times, they couldn-??t diagnose my car. Only thing they did was put a new starter on. Problem still occurs. I-??ve taken it to multiple mechanics. Problems unknown. A new starter, alternator & battery has been replaced. And recently my airbag light has came on. Which comes and goes. I-??ve had this car since June 2020. and it-??s given me the same problem with no one able to tell me what-??s wrong with it and I-??ve replaced the batteries in the key fob. Today the car was just blank when I put the key in. I-??m so confused. Car won-??t go over 40 mph. I kept notes and saved receipts and text messages via jeep, via the car salesman, stating how unsafe this car has been-??.

Jeep will completely turn off while driving at random times and at random speeds. This includes highway and local roads. More than once, while driving at high speeds on the highway, the car turned off and I had to coast to the shoulder, turn the ignition switch to off and restart the car. Car will also intermittently not accelerate above 40 mph. The car has been brought to more than one repair shop and no one can find anything wrong with it that would cause this dangerous situation.

The sunroof drain does not work properly causing water to pour out of the center ceiling map lights, the garage door control panel, the driver side column, and the handle to get into the vehicle. This causes a major distraction while driving and also can cause severe electrical damage, water damage to the interior and mold/mildew build up..
I received a noticed but was told my bin number was not included within the recall notice. The ignition key (fobik) does not return to "on" position sometimes after been rotated to the "start" position, instead sticking between the two position.
Smoke coming out of hood while driving. Pulled into fire station in milford, mi and smoke was getting heavier. Firemen assisted and said less than a minute entire engine compartment would have been on fire. Wire connected to alternator was "shorting" and sparks were melting cable wrapping and plastic engine cover. Fire department has report
The key fob gets stuck in the ignition when the vehicle is turned off and put in park. If you shake the shifter when it's in park with your foot on the brake and the key turned to as far as it will go before turning the car on it will usually come out after a few attempts and cycles of this process. Yesterday, for the first time, it was locked in the ignition and wouldn't turn the vehicle on. I don't know that this sensor issue is related, but the tire pressure sensor is always on even when the tire pressure is filled to recommended levels.
Dash started flashing and beeping and lost power. Had to have it towed home that cost$471.30. Talked to mopar they gave me dealership information said they could get me a tow and loaner car.

While driving the car, it will completely shut down even when going 65 mph on a highway. It has happened several times on both local roads and highway. I will have to coast over to the side of the road, put the car in park, turn the key to the off position and then restart the car. It is very scary and dangerous. There is a recall for the electrical system number 08V059000 but my VIN is not included. Mechanics cannot find issue.
