I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 GRAND CHEROKEE THE OTHER NIGHT IN THE RAIN AND I STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND I HIT A LITTLE BUMP AND MY BRAKES LIKE LOCKED UP IN THE FRONT AND I WENT TO TURN INTO A DRIVE WAY AFTER IT DID THAT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOW TWICE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS!

I HAD RECALL P41 UPDATED TO MY 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER THE RECALL UPDATE I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALERSHIP, I WOULD NEED TO PUSH AND TURN THE KEY TO START/STOP THE IGNITION. THIS UPGRADED FUNCTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARD TO GET THE KEY TO TURN. LAST WEEK, WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT WORK 02JUL19, IT TOOK ME OVER 20 MIN. TO GET THE KEY TO TURN BY PUSHING AND TURNING, TO START THE ENGINE. THE SAFETY RECALL P41 IS INEFFECTIVE OR INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. MY VEHICLE KEY TURNED FINE BEFORE THE RECALL AND HAS NOT WORKED WELL SINCE.

POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
RECEIVED 'TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP' MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES OF DRIVING IN THE MORNING. WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE HEAT FOR A WHILE, THE MESSAGE COULD APPEAR BEFORE 10 MILES (SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY). THE FAN TURNS ON AND THERE IS A DEFINITE LAG IN ACCELERATION. ALONG WITH THIS ERROR, I ALSO GET THE 'SERVICE, TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM' MESSAGE CONSISTENTLY. I'VE VISITED MY MECHANIC WITH BOTH ISSUES AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED BY THE NEW BATTERY, BUT THEY ONLY DROVE THE CAR FOR 8 MILES TO ATTEMPT GETTING THE TRANSMISSION HOT, NOR DID THEY PROBABLY HIT A BUMP/POTHOLE TO TRIGGER THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM. THEY'RE PUZZLED AS TO WHY THOSE MESSAGES ARE POPPING UP BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE ANY FURTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RECENTLY BOUGHT OUR JEEP AND HAVE DIMMING LIGHTS DUE TO LOW IDLE AND ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STARTING IT. THERE ARE TIMES IT WONT START UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED 5 MINS LATER AND THAT'S AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRE HARNESS FROM THE BATTERY. THE LOW IDLE IS MAKING THE LIGHTS DIM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THAT IT NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THAT CAN COST ROUGHLY 1000 WHICH I DONT HAVE. MY WIFE ALSO SAID WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HOME THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ON HER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SHE SAID SHE PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK IN GEAR AND THEN IT ACTED FINE.
