ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL CHANGED ROUTINELY AROUND 3000 MILES. COLD MORNING -3 FAHRENHEIT. LET CAR WARM UP FOR 5-10 MINUTES. DROVE 5 MILES TO WORK. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON THE WAY TO WORK I COULD SMELL HOT OIL. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER I PARKED IN THE CAR I NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM MY HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 3 INCH TALL FLAMES ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FOR ABOUT 6 INCHES ALONG THE MANIFOLD. SINCE THE ENGINE WAS OFF THE FLAMES DIED OUT AND DID NOT IGNITE THE CAR. THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING OIL OUT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DEALER THOUGHT THE PCV VALVE MIGHT HAVE HAD MOISTURE IN IT AND FROZE. THIS CAUSED EXCESS PRESSURE TO BUILD AND POPPED THE VALVE COVER GASKET THE WEAKEST POINT. DEALER REPLACED VALVE COVER, VALVE COVER GASKET, AND PCV VALVE. FAILURE AGAIN: EXACTLY 2 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. SAME SCENARIO, IT WAS 3 DEGREES THIS TIME AND I LET THE CAR WARM UP FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE. THIS TIME THOUGH THERE WAS NO FIRE. DEALER TORE DEEPER INTO THE ENGINE AND FOUND THE OIL HAD SLUDGED UP. I HAD JUST CHANGED MY OIL A MONTH AGO AND 1000 MILES PREVIOUS. THE SLUDGE CAUSED MOISTURE TO BE TRAPPED IN THE PCV VALVE AND FREEZE. THE SLUDGE ALSO WAS FOUND IN EVERY COMPONENT THE OIL LUBRICATES. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT I CAN DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE MY OIL AS RECOMMENDED. I ALREADY DO THAT. THEY SUGGESTED THAT SINCE I FIRST SAW THIS FAILURE AT 35000 MILES, I SHOULD HAVE MY ENGINE TORN APART EVERY 35000 MILES TO HAVE THE SLUDGE REMOVED. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THE SLUDGING PROBLEM BEFORE AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE SLUDGE CLEAN UP ONCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 36000 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS MADE STRANGE CLUNKING NOISES. VEHICLE BEGAN TO DROP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND THEN FINALLY (AND CURRENTLY) WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER DID TELL ME THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG V8 MODELS SUCH AS MINE BUT THAT THEY JUST DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT SO THEY HAVE NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. HOWEVER, JEEP IS PUTTING SO MANY PEOPLE AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE DRIVE BUT EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE NOW SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS BUT WITH NO CONSISTENT PATTERN. $34,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF WORRY. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
WHEN DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH IS A 25 MPH ZONE I APPLIED BRAKES LIGHTLY AFTER JUST COMING OUT OF A TURN. AT THIS TIME I FELT A LARGE POP AND I HAD LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I IMMEDIATELY STRUCK A PARKED CAR THAT WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD. A COUPLE HOURS AFTER MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE A CLAIM WAS PROCESSED AND SENT IN. TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING AN ADJUSTER CAME AND LOOKED AT IT IMMEDIATELY DENYING MY CLAIM. I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING IT WAS NOT A FAULTY PART AND IT WAS NOT CHRYSLERS RESPONSIBILITY. THE MANAGER AT THIS CHRYSLER DEALER STATED THAT HE ALMOST GOT ARGUING WITH THE ADJUSTER BECAUSE HE CLAIMED MY ARM WAS TWISTED BUT THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE TWIST IN IT. I CONTACTED SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THEY ALL HAVE LOOKED AT IT GIVING ME LETTERS OF OPINION THAT THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART. THE CONTROL ARMS ON THESE PARTICULAR MODELS ARE MADE OUT OF POT METAL WHICH IS GROUNDED UP RECYCLED METAL MELTED TOGETHER. CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER PAINTED THEM BLACK TO GIVE IT A CAST IRON LOOK. THE NEXT STEP WAS MY INSURANCE COMPANY, I CONTACTED THEM, AN ADJUSTER CAME OUT. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR MY BODY DAMAGE TO BE FIXED BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE MECHANICAL PARTS OR THE OTHER LADY'S CAR BECAUSE THEY SAID IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT CHRYSLERS RESPONSIBILITY. IF ANYONE HAS HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE CONTACT ME. I NEED HELP WITH THIS. *NM

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN IT WAS HOT OR COLD. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COLD IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. *AK THE TRANSMISSION HAD A DELAY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SUNROOF LEAKED WATER. UPDATED 03/19/07. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAD A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES ON IT. IN DECEMBER 2006 IT DOWN SHIFTED ITSELF INTO LOW GEAR WHILE DOING A FORWARD SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER WHO AFTER KEEPING IT FOR THE DAY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON FEBRUARY 9, 2007 WITH APPROXIMATELY 27,500 MILES ON THE SAME VEHICLE IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME ONCE AGAIN THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND, IN WRITING, TOLD ME TO CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS. THEY ASSUMED I WAS DOWN SHIFTING THE CAR BY MISTAKE. I HAD SO LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE THAT I TRADED IT IN ON A NEW CAR. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE VEHICLE SLIPS SIDEWAYS IT WILL ROLL OVER. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE LEASED A 2005 JEEP CHEROKEE IN JANUARY 2005 AND IN JANUARY 2006 EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO CUT OFF INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS, ODOMETER... AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASH INCLUDING THE CD PLAYER, THE BUTTONS FOR THE HEATER/AC WOULD OVERHEAT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE TOOK IT IN TO GALEANA, THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, WHICH APPARENTLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN QUITE OFTEN WITH CHYRSLER AUTOMOBILES. SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR BEGAN TO BREAK DOWN EVERYWHERE. IF I PARKED THE CAR AT A STORE, WORK, HOME... AND WENT BACK TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT CRANK. THIS HAPPENS 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" A PROBLEM AND NOW THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. SHORTLY AFTER THAT AT THE END OF 2006, AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A "PEBBLE" AS THE DEALERSHIP CALLS IT, WENT THROUGH MY GRILL AND HIT THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT, SPRAYING TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERYWHERE ALMOST CATCHING ON FIRE WITH ME AND MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN OUT, $4,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. ALL OF OUR OTHER PROBLEMS STILL EXISTS AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEMS OR LET US OUT OF THE LEASE. I HAVE TRIED TALKING TO CHRYSLER AND GETTING THIS ISSUE RESOLVED ONLY TO HEAR THEM TELLING ME THAT THIS WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING A TREND IN THEIR BUSINESS AND IF THEY CANNOT FIX THE VEHICLES THEY MANUFACTURED THEY SHOULD NOT BE MAKING THE VEHICLES IN THE FIRST PLACE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STALLS WHEN BRAKING. I ORIGINALLY ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN PARKING AFTER 30-50 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ON 28 JAN 07, JEEP STALLED ON 31W WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. THERE WAS A CHIME, A RED LIGHT IN UPPER RIGHT OF DASH STARTED TO BLINK, AND THE MESSAGE CENTER STATED PROGRAMMING ACTIVE. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THERE WAS ANOTHER CHIME, THE MESSAGE WENT OUT, AND I COULD RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, ALL WHILE BRAKING. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I OWN A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS 2 SPECIFIC PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. JEEP CLAIMS THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND/OR CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO FIX. NO ERROR CODES ETC HOWEVER IF SOMEONE WOULD JUST READ THE JEEP FORUMS THEY WILL SEE THIS IS A "NATIONWIDE" ISSUE THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH HUNDREDS OF NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. HER FIRST ISSUE WITH MY JEEP IS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SITTING IDLE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF. OF THE 8 TO 10 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPEN, TWICE THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO START UP AGAIN. WE HAD TO GIVE THE CAR ABOUT 5 MINS AND THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DEALER FOUND SOME "RANDOM" ERROR CODES THAT WE WERE TOLD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE WE WERE HAVING. AT THE THIRD TIME WE TOO THE JEEP TO THE DEALER THEY CHANGED A SENOR AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FILTER AND FLUID. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND ON THE FOURTH TRIP TO DEALERSHIP THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE PER JEEP IN DETROIT. STILL NOT FIXED AND THE DEALER SHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. AFTER THE DEALER SHIP INSTALLED THE NEW SOFTWARE, THE SECOND ISSUE STARTED. THIS ISSUE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN A LAWSUIT IF NOT FIXED. WHEN DRIVING AT REALLY ANY NORMAL SPEED THE CAR WILL ACT AS IF I THE DRIVER AM HITTING THE BRAKES REALLY HARD. NOT HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK THE WHEELS BUT HARD ENOUGH TO LEAVE A SEAT BELT REDNESS ON MY NECK FROM BEING SLUG FORWARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE RED BRAKE LIKE AND YELLOW ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THE ISSUE HAPPENS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THE CAR JUST REGROUPS AND KEEPS GOING. WE HAVE LOST COUNT OF THIS ISSUE BUY MY GUESS IS THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES. ON THE LAST 3-5 TIMES WHEN THE CAR LOCKS UP IT TURNS OFF THE RADIO WHEN IN THE PAST THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE ADDING MORE PROBLEMS AS TIME GOES ON. JEEP NEEDS TO READ THE FORUMS. *NM
