I PURCHASED MY 05 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 3.7L V6 WITH 79K MILES ON IT JUNE 21, 2016. IN JULY OF 2017, IT STARTED TO BOG DOWN WITH A CONSTANT SHUTTER WHEN STARTING UP AND ACCELERATING, THE CEL WAS ALSO ON. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE CEL CHECKED OUT AND IT WAS SHOWING 22 CODES SAYING THAT THE O2 SENSOR HAD A HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT. UPON EXAMINNG AND TESTING THE O2 SENSOR THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND TO BE WRONG. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE CEL CAME ON AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT SHOWED THE SAME O2 SENSOR WAS RUNNING LEAN AND RICH AT THE SAME TIME. I REPLACED THE SENSOR AT THAT TIME. NOW IT IS SHOWING ANOTHER CODE P0430 AND THE TIMING CHAIN FOR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION IS JUMPING. I WAS INFORMED THIS HAPPENS TO THESE TRANSMISSIONS ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR IT. ALL I CAN DO IS DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GOES AND BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT FAIR

I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE SINCE 2008 AT 32,000 MILES, THE SUNROOF WORKED GREAT FOR A FEW YEARS THEN I NOTICED THAT THE SUNROOF WOULD CLOSE PASSED THE ROOF LINE OF THE JEEP. I DID NOT THINK OF IT MUCH BECAUSE I ASSUMED THAT THE JEEP WOULD HAVE A SECONDARY SEAL ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF LINE, IN BETWEEN THE HEADLINER TO KEEP DEBRIS AND WATER OUT OF THE INSIDE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY AND THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THE SUN MELTED EVERYTHING AWAY. I GOT IN MY JEEP AND REALIZED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THAT I HAD WATER POURING ON MY LEG AND THROUGH THE MAP LIGHTS IN THE CENTER. BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, WORK, MY PANTS WERE COMPLETELY SOAKED AND MY CENTER CONSOLE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. THIS BEING THAT THE SUNROOF HAD NOTHING TO KEEP THE MELTING SNOW OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SUNROOF IS MADE WITH A FAULTY COG SET THAT WEARS AWAY TOO QUICKLY. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SPEND ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AS I WAS QUOTED IN 2011 FOR THEM TO PLACE IN A NEW COG MADE OF THE SAME BRITTLE PLASTIC. I CHOOSE TO STOP MY MOTOR FROM OVER CLOSING, RENDERING THE SUNROOF ALWAYS SHOWING UP IN SCANNERS AS OPEN. HOWEVER WITH ME CONCENTRATING THAT THE SUNROOF CLOSES CORRECTLY I STILL HAVE LEAKS IN THE SUNROOF. MY JEEP HAS TO STAY OUTSIDE, MEANING ANY TIME IT SNOW, BUT I'M NOT DRIVING, I ALWAYS HAVE TO BRUSH THE ROOF OFF JUST THE ENSURE I DON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE NOW JUST PASSED 125000 MILES. SINCE THE ISSUES I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS, I'VE PULLED UP THE CARPET WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE ONLY TO NOTICE SO MUCH RUST IN THE FLOOR PANS.. THANKFULLY I HAD THOUGHT TO PULL THE CARPET AND HAVE TAKEN PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO ENSURE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CONTINUE TO RUST.
A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DIM HEAD LIGHTS AND TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR . THE CAR SIMPLY WON'T START YOU HAVE TO CRANK IT ABOUT 20 TIMES . THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE ROAD
Official recalls
314V438000 · Electrical System:ignition:switch
Jul 21, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, drivers should adjust their seat to allow clearance between the driver's knee and the ignition key, and remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured February 11, 2004, to July 5, 2007, and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured January 31, 2005, to July 5, 2007. In the affected vehicles, the driver may accidentally hit the ignition key with their knee, unintentionally knocking the key out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Chrysler sent interim notifications to owners in September 2014. The recall began on October 9, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P41.

A transfer case electrical failure may result in an unintentional shifting of the transfer case into the neutral position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle shifts into neutral, it may roll away increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the final drive controller which governs the transfer case, with new software, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N23.

Sep 14, 2005
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.7L ENGINES AND NAG1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CONDENSATE WATER MAY ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. THIS CAN RESULT IN SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IT CAN LEAD TO INCREASED TRANSMISSION OPERATING TEMPERATURES, BOILING OF THE WATER, AND A SUBSEQUENT PURGING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FOR LEAKAGE AT THE FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL. IF NO LEAK IS DETECTED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IS DETECTED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE EVALUATED FOR SHUDDER DURING TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGEMENT. IF NO SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE TRIPLE FLUSHED, AND NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. IF SHUDDER IS DETECTED, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BE REPLACED, A NEW FILL TUBE GROMMET SEAL AND WATER DEFLECTOR WILL BE INSTALLED, AND PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE FILL TUBE VERIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
