MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO (3.7 LITER V6) HAS ABOUT 78,500 MILES. IN 2018 MY JEEP HAD AN ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT INCIDENT. I HAD THE OBDII READ BY O'REILLY AUTO PARTS FOR THE FAILURE CODES. THE CODES DOWNLOADED WERE U0404 & P0700. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED, 'DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY', HE WAS RIGHT - THE FAILURE CODE (DASH LIGHT) WENT AWAY. NOW, FEB. 7, 2020 MY ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON. AGAIN I WENT TO O'REILLY AUTO PART TO HAVE THE OBDII ERROR CODES READ. AGAIN, THE ERROR CODES CAME UP U0404 & P0700. I DID SOME RESEARCH (ON THE WEB) AND FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT ADDRESSED THESE TWO EXACT FAILURE CODES. PLEASE SEE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, WEB ADDRESS, BELOW THAT EXPLAINS THE FAILURE AND REPAIR. HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=YD71KNUO2AU THIS VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS THE REASON FOR THESE TWO ERROR CODES. THE SHIFTING CONSOLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) HAS ALLOWED (OVER TIME) THE TRANSFER OF MATERIAL BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT DRIVE SELECTION POINTS (DRIVE, REVERSE, PARK) ON THE PCB TO BE SHORT CIRCUITED (BRIDGED) CAUSING A FALSE SIGNAL TO THE OTHER CONTROL DEVICES. THIS IS NOT LISTED AS A SERVICEABLE ITEM BY JEEP. AS A RESULT JEEP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILURE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STATE THAT THIS IS A SERVICE PREVENTABLE FAILURE. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY COMPLAINT.

MY INTERIOR HANDLES ON ALL 4 DOORS HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS BUT NOW THEY ARE COMPLETELY CRUMBLED. AT FIRST, I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS, THEN, WHOMEVER WAS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT, THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR ME TO GO AROUND & OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM. THEY COULD NOT GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. IT WAS A HASSLE BUT I MOSTLY DRIVE ALONE, SO I TOLERATED IT. AS OF YESTERDAY, I NOW HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOW, (DRIVERS SIDE), TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT'S CRACK TO THE POINT, THAT I CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ANY LONGER. IT'S A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT & NEEDED TO GET OUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO. YEARS AGO, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN CLEARWATER, FL. WAS GOING TO REPLACE DOOR PANELS, TO REPLACE THE HANDLES, BUT THE DISTRICT MGR THAT OK'D WAS TRANSFERRED & THE NEW DISTRICT MGR. REFUSED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE & DEATH. I'M HOPING & PRAYING YOU WILL DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS. IF NOT, I'M THINKING OF CALLING THE LOCAL NEWS. ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR OPENING HANDLES HAVE CRACKED, BROKEN & CRUMBLED. DOOR HANDLES ARE TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ' IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION DRIVER & PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL WARRANTED!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ECM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. CONNECTIONS WERE FAILING. DUE TO THIS ENGINE POWER WAS LOST WHILE RUNNING. AT TIMES WOULD JUST SHUT OFF. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT TIME OF WIGGLING PCM BUT DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN IF I HIT A ROUGH SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 75. PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURER IS NOT PRODUCING THESE COMPUTERS ANYMORE AND CAN'T FIND ONE ANYWHERE, ALSO CAN'T BE REPAIRED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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!

FIRST OFF THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T SHIFTING RIGHT. I WAS LIKE IT WAS GETTING STUCK IN 2ND GEAR OR SOMETHING. THE RPMS WERE RAISING HIGH BEFORE IT WAS SHIFTING. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, TOOK IT IN TO GET A THE CODE READ CODE WAS P0700 AND P0562 AND P0750 SO WE CHANGED THE BATTERY, THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTERS CHANGED. STILL SAME PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON WITH THE SAME CODE . TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP THEY SAID IT IS THE SOLENOID PACK. NOW I HAVE READ A LOT OF THE JEEP CHRYSLER FORUMS AND A WHOLE LOT OF THESE JEEPS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SO I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN SELL SUCH AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE WITH SO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE!! I THINK YOU NEED TO FIX OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE JEEPS!! A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ASAP ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS!!! I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL AS OF YET ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. YET THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS YET ON THIS TRANSMISSION. I EXPECT A CALL OR EMAIL ABOUT THIS CONCERN ASAP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET LAST NIGHT, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP AND THEN GO OFF AND MY GAUGES DON'T WORK, MY HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, NOTHING WORKS IN THE INTERIOR. VEHICLE STILL RUNS, BUT ELECTRICAL STUFF DOESN'T WORK. COULD NOT USE A TURN SIGNAL TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND OFF THE ROAD AND IT WAS DARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE OR TRIP. I TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON AND THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT STAY ON FOR A DAY OR SO AND THEN IT WILL GO OFF. SO INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS SO SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WILL ALSO HAPPEN SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A WHILE.

AIR BAGS
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN ON. I THOUGHT WHEN SOMEONE SITS THERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO OFF! I HAVE READ MULTIPLE STORIES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. SOME HAVE EVEN BEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS AND SEAT BELTS OR AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP NEEDS TO FIX ASAP!
