2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Driver assistance Problems

Lights on the dashboard were blinking, there were no turning signals, the gas gauge was not working, and the check engine light was flashing. My safety was put at risk because I could not let people know when I was turning. I took it to the dealer, and they said there were too many codes, but none were active for them to fix the problem. So, I have to drive the jeep, but this is dangerous. The warning keeps showing me that there is a problem with the ignition switch that was previously recalled. I want this taken care of, please.

PCM HAS BEEN REPLACEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES BY DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP. When computer fails it has failed a circuit with 02 sensors which kills engine power randomly while driving on highways. It has turned ABS light on and Service 4x4 randomly and won’t let the vehicle travel over 10mph. Very dangerous on roads. I’ve had three computers installed in the last Year and a half and have given me 3 close calls almost causing accident. That’s 3 too many. I’m not the only one with the computer issues ask around to owners with these jeeps. How many close called does someone need for Chrysler to not even repair but Just to look into. Do people need to die in an accident for people to take this seriously. The issue is NOT from lack of maintenance either. If my ABS module was failed I would no. My vehicle has a 115,000miles on it and when this dangerous intermittent issues occur there are no DTC codes stored. This is a total epic failure done by Chrysler. If they don’t find something soon about theses vehicles. I will be sure never to by another Jeep product. I don’t drive this vehicle unless I’m alone never-mind one of my niece or nephews With me in this death trap I’ve learned my lesson On this one Chrysler Please help NHTSA!!

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!

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

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE HAD GONE OUT. PARK REVERSE NEUTRAL IN AND DRIVE ARE THE ONLY FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE. TO DOWNSHIFT FROM DRIVE FOURTH, THIRD, SECOND, AND FIRST HAVE LOST ALL ABILITY. PRIMARILY THE DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE IS THROUGH THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO AND THE ABILITY TO DOWNSHIFT IS NECESSARY TO AVOID COLLISION AND TO CLIMB THE STEEP HILLS. NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR ANYBODY ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR EXAMPLE: DRIVING TO AN EXIT RAMP FROM SPEEDS OF 65 AND NEEDING TO DECELERATE TO 25 WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT AND MAJOR WHERE ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. NOW FOR CLIMBING THE HILLS OF SAN FRANCISCO IN A HIGH GEAR PUTS A MAJOR STRESS ON THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY . THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR AN IGNITION AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT I RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES FROM JEEP STARTING OUT AS SIMPLE AND IS NICELY PUT HIS PLEASE SEE YOUR SERVICE DEALERSHIP THERE IS A RECALL AND TO THE EXTREME OF RECEIVING NOTICES THAT SAID YOUR VEHICLE HAS A RECALL AND YOU ARE PUTTING OTHER PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER BY NEGLECTING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK AND THE IGNITION AND WAS TOLD FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY SINCE I ONLY USE THE KEY WITH NO KEYCHAIN. I HAVE ALSO DONE MY HOMEWORK ON THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE VIDEOS OR TESTIMONIES ABOUT THEIR JEEPS HAVING THE PROBLEM OF THE ABILITY NOT TO DOWNSHIFT THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE. IN THE PAST 12 YEARS I PRAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS IN DIRECT RELATION TO THIS ELECTRONIC SHIFTER MODULE BUT IF YOU'RE A DRIVER YOU KNOW THAT EVERY GEAR ON THE VEHICLE IS THERE FOR A REASON AND RELY ON THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.
