THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DOWN SHIFT TO THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND DAMAGED THE REAR AXLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

RANDOM INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD WILL LIGHT UP WITH ALL INDICATORS AND GAUGES GO TO ZERO VALUE. I RECORDED ON MY CELL PHONE ONE INCIDENT. I HAD ONE CASE THAT JEEP STALLED AT SAME TIME OF INCIDENT, AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH LOCAL DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY ERROR CODE. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON ONE INCIDENT AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO KNOWN PROBLEMS REPORTED ON MY VEHICLE. DEALER SAID TO RETURN NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS BUT I AM ALWAYS NOT IN A CONVENIENT PLACE AND THE DASHBOARD WILL RETURN TO NORMAL STATUS AFTER SOME TIME WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA STATE ROUTE 20 EASTBOUND IN THE CURVES PAST THE OMEGA REST STOP, AT 6:00 AM, WHEN ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS WENT OUT, AND SEVERAL SECONDS LATER ILLUMINATED AGAIN, THEY WHEN OUT AGAIN AND ILLUMINATED A THIRD TIME, AT WHICH POINT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR SHUT OFF. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EVENT. I WAS ABLE TO FLICK THE STEERING WHEEL HEADLIGHT CONTROL AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, BECAUSE I WAS IN A CURVE SECTION OF A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, A PULL OUT WAS A QUARTER MILE AHEAD AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY DISPATCHED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR BACK TO GRASS VALLEY/NEVADA CITY. TWO WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON THE DASH UNTIL THE LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF AND THE CAR TOWED. A LIGHT ON THE UPPER RIGHT WITH A CAR AND A SWAG AND A LIGHT IN MIDDLE. ABS ? AT THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, THEY FOUND NO CODES TO INDICATE ANY TYPE OF FAILURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN SINCE TO MAGNUSSEN'S JEEP DEALER IN AUBURN, CALIFORNIA AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETECT ANY PROBLEM. A SIMILAR EVENT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND IN 2008 APPROXIMATELY AND THE REPAIR FACILITY WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM. I HAVE WORKED IN TRUCKEE, CA AND HAVE COMMUTED TO WORK SINCE 2001 ON THIS ROAD IN SEVERAL VEHICLES( (INCLUDING TWO OTHER JEEPS). I HAVE NEVER HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE REPAIR FACILITY WAS UNABLE TO DETECT A PROBLEM, MY HUSBAND AND I BEGAN LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM ON THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS AND BELIEVE THAT OUR INCIDENT IS NOT UNIQUE AND REFLECTS A SUBSTANTIAL DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR COMPOUND LOW GEAR HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THE LAST RECALL WAS PERFORMED AT THE JEEP DEALER IN ROSEVILLE, CA

I FILED COMPLAINT (10561016) WHEN THE FIRST JEEP DEALER I WENT TO WOULD NOT HONOR THE SAFETY RECALL N23. THE SECOND JEEP DEALER I WENT TO SAID THEY WOULD HONOR THE SAFETY RECALL N23. AFTER GOING TO THE JEEP DEALER THEY CHECKED THEIR RECORDS AND ADVISED ME THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETED ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEEDS A TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR AND I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THIS PART AND LABOR. IN ADDITION THEY ADVISED THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER. MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S 4WD LO WAS WORKING PRIOR TO THIS SAFETY RECALL N23. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPLACING THIS PART. I INTEND TO WRITE MY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATE THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS TRYING TO BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED WHILE HIS FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THERE WAS NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY DAUGHTER WAS TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS POSTS ON THE INTERNET DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY REQUIRING QUICK EXIT FROM THE CAR. THE DOOR MUST NOW BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A PERSON BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE UNNECESSARILY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO HAVE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACED BY JEEP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR WITH LIGHTS ON THE LIGHTS FLICKER AND THEN GO OUT. I TURN THEM OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEP'S. I FEEL JEEP NEEDS TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE AND SOLUTION IS FOR THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

ON 01/20/2014, I BROUGHT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2006 TO MY MECHANIC DUE TO A SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THE COMPUTER REVEALED CODE SAFETY RECALL N23/NHTSA 13 V-175. SAFETY RECALL N23 MAY UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY INADVERTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO GO TO MY JEEP DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALL. ON 01/21/2014, I CONTACTED VIA TELEPHONE THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. I ADVISED THE JEEP EMPLOYEE OF THE SITUATION WITH MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2006. THE JEEP EMPLOYEE ADVISED THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR REPAIR. I ADVISED THE JEEP EMPLOYEE THAT THE CODE N23 WAS A SAFETY RECALL. THE JEEP EMPLOYEE RESPONDED BY MAKING AN ACCUSATION THAT MY MECHANIC'S COMPUTER WAS PROBABLY OUTDATED. IN ADDITION THE JEEP EMPLOYEE ADVISED THAT THE CODE N23 WAS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. CONTINUING ON THE SAME DATE, I CONTACTED ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION WITH MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2006. I WAS ADVISED BY THE JEEP EMPLOYEE THAT THE CODE N23 IS A SAFETY RECALL AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WOULD HONOR THE RECALL. I CONDUCTED FURTHER RESEARCH TO DISCOVER THAT ON 08/17/2013 I BROUGHT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2006 TO THE FIRST JEEP DEALERSHIP MENTIONED FOR SAFETY RECALL N23. *TR

2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SAFETY RECALL ON IGNITION SWITCH. *MW THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER DENIED THE CONSUMER'S REQUEST BY STATING THERE WAS NO PERMANENT REMEDY. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED CHRYSLER AFTER RECEIVING THE LETTER, AND THEY INFORMED HIM IT WAS THEIR POLICY NOT TO REIMBURSE UNTIL A SECOND RECALL LETTER WAS SENT WITH A PERMANENT FIX. *JB

WHILE DRIVING DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL ALL COME ON SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE CAR. OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS (RADIO, ODOMETER) STOP BUT ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. CAN STEER AND BRAKE BUT DIFFICULT. NO ERROR MESSAGES RECEIVED. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING OVER THE PAST 9 MONTHS. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR BUT CANNOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

AFTER MY GRAND CHEROKEE HAD THE "N23" RECALL PERFORMED ON IT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, THE "SERVICE 4WD" INDICATOR COMES ON AND DISABLES MY TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING. I CLEAR THE CODES AND IT WORKS AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN THE CODES RETURN (C1406, C1405, C140F) DISABLING THE SHIFTING AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH GRAND CHEROKEES ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND ON JEEPFORUM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. A TROUBLE CODE WAS DETECTED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE HORN BECAME INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION GEARS SLIPPED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHEN DRIVING ALL THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT COME ON (FLICKER) AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS GO DARK. THE HEATER DIES AND THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK (SHOWS 0 RPM AND GAS TANK AS EMPTY). I AM UNABLE TO EVEN READ MY SPEED AT WHAT I AM DRIVING. IT HAPPENS NUMEROUS TIMES THERE IS NO CERTAIN TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENS, I CAN BE AT A COMPLETE STOP, IN PARK , OR DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED. THE WARNING LIGHT FLASH ANYWHERE FOR 1 TO 30 TIMES. I CAN STILL DRIVE BUT HAVE NO POWER FOR ANYWHERE FROM A SEC TO 5 SECONDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. I WENT AT THE LONGEST OF 3 MONTHS WITH OUT IT OCCURRING. NOW IN THE PAST MONTH IT IS DOING IT EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND CONTINUES UNTIL I REACH MY DESTINATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAY IT IS DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. THEN THEY PROCEED TO TELL THAT THE PARTS WITH CHRYSLER ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY UPSET, I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I OR ANYONE ELSE COULD POSSIBLY BE HARMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY START TO FLASH, AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING SYSTEM LOSES POWER, AND SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER FLUCTUATES ERRATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN, WITHOUT WARNING. THOUGHT IT WAS THE REMOTE STARTER, BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING WITHOUT USING THE REMOTE STARTER. IT APPEARS THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. DEALER STATES THEY "THINK" IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION, KEY, ? WHAT THAT KNOW. THEY ASKED ME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS RELATED TO "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AND IF THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IT DOES NOT LOSE POWER, BUT SIMPLY LIGHTS FLASH AND IT IS SCARY. ONE TIME, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED OFF AND ON UNTIL I PULLED OVER AND SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT VERY SCARY WHEN IT DOES. HOPING THIS DOESN'T LEAD TO A MORE DANGEROUS ISSUE.... JEEP NEEDS TO GET ON THIS ISSUE AS MINE IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT! *TR

THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS FOUND ALL OVER THE JEEP FORUMS AND INTERNET, THESE JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIALS FAILING AND HAVING TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE DIFFERENTIALS FALL APART AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT, THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL BEGIN TO FAIL BY MAKING A LOUD WHINE GEAR NOISE FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ENTIRE DIFFERENTIAL TO BE DESTROYED LIKE THIS, THIS IS HORRIBLE QUALITY AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS NOT A USER ERROR, BUT A PART MANUFACTURING ERROR OR DESIGN ERROR. THIS BEING SO COMMON IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. A WOMAN AND CHILD IN THE CAR DRIVEN DAILY TO SCHOOL SHOULD NOT FAIL LIKE THIS JEOPARDIZING BOTH LIVES. *TR

HELLO, I HAD N23 RECALL DONE ON MY JEEP ,AFTER GETTING ALOT OF SNOW IN DEC I DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO X4 LOW AND IT SAID SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM. I KNOW THAT MY 4X4 LOW WORKED BEFORE HAVING THIS UPDATE. *TR

INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON FRONT DOOR AND BACK DOOR IS BROKEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS OTHER THEN IT BEING CHEAP. I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHY NHTSA HAS LEFT THIS VERY BAD SAFETY PROBLEM GO FOR SO LONG . IT MAY LOOK AS THOUGH THEY ARE IN JEEPS POCKETS ITS OK FOR JEEP TO CHARGE 500 FOR A NEW PANEL RIGHT THE CONSUMER IS GETTING THE SHORT END OF IT HERE OR THERE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PANIC AND HAVE A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE I CAN'T GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT I'M JUST SAYING AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BEEN GOING ON WELL BEFORE THE 2006 JEEP I HAVE AND OOOOOOOOOOOOO STILL NO HELP *TR

ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO LOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, HIGHWAY AND CITY, VARIOUS SPEEDS. SUBJECT OF RECALL P41/ NHTSA 14V-438 JULY 21, 2014. DEALER ALLEGES HE CANNOT CORRECT IT DUE TO LACK OF REPLACEMENT PARTS.

ALL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BECOMING NON-OPERATIVE. THE PLASTIC THAT THEY MOUNT TO IS BRITTLE AND CRACKS VERY EASILY RENDERING THE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKS AROUND THE PLASTIC. MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE HAS ACTUALLY COME OFF. I AM CONCERNED FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. ONCE YOU ARE IN THE CAR YOU CANNOT EXIT THROUGH THAT DOOR. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE SITUATION IN DECEMBER 2013. WHEN THE REAR DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF. I CONTACT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATE IMMEDIATELY, AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER WEEKS OF GOING BACK AND FORTH THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY ONLY ONE THIRD OF THE TOTAL COST. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART, AND SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 100% OF REPLACEMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

IN DECEMBER MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP INSTALLED SAFETY RECALL N23 CODE. FIVE DAYS LATER I TOWED MY JEEP BEHIND MY MOTORHOME TO FLORIDA IN NEUTRAL/TOW MODE. WHEN I ARRIVED I COULD NOT GET MY JEEP OUT OF NEUTRAL MODE...MESSAGE "REPAIR 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM". I WENT TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AT THE COST OF $600.00. WHEN WE GOT READY TO LEAVE FLORIDA IN APRIL I COULD NOT GET THE JEEP TO GO INTO NEUTRAL/TOW MODE...SAME MESSAGE. I WENT BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP... THIS TIME THEY TESTED THE MOTOR AND RESET THE CODES...I WAS ABLE TO GO INTO TOW MODE. NOW IN MAY AS WE WERE HOOKING UP TO GO CAMPING I COULD NOT GO INTO TOW MODE..SAME MESSAGE AGAIN. THERE ARE MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AFTER INSTALLING N23. I BELIEVE THAT THE REASON THIS TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AND ACTUATOR IS ON BACK ORDER IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE REPLACEMENTS AFTER INSTALLING N23. I THINK THAT JEEP HAS TO RESOLVE THIS CODE PROBLEM...AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT A REPAYMENT FROM JEEP IS IN ORDER. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT. I WANT TO REPORT THE FAILURE OF A DEALER SHIP TO RESPOND TO MY REQUEST TO HONOR A SAFETY RECALL, I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES, THE LAST TIME 12-10-2013, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. *TR

I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS SO FIGURED I WOULD SEND A COPY OF THIS TO YOU AS WELL ENGINE DEVELOPED A STRONG MISS AND LACK OF POWER DUE TO RUNNING ON 7 CYLINDERS. DEALER DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE BURNT VALVES PLUS SIGNIFICANT SLUDGING OF THE OIL PASSAGES. DEALER ALSO SUSPECTED A CRACK IN THE HEAD OR BLOCK, ALLOWING CONTAMINATION OF OIL AND COOLANT. CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE HAS RUN FINE AND BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY OVER THE LAST 14 MONTHS THERE IS A CHANCE THE CRACKING MAY HAVE BEEN A DEFECT THAT TOOK UNTIL NOW TO CAUSE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO BECOME A PROBLEM. *TR

STARTED DECEMBER 2013. WHEN COLD OUTSIDE, JEEP WON'T DOWNSHIFT. GOING ABOUT 40MPH & JEEP STAYS AT 3,000RPM'S (OR HIGHER). WHEN AT STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT & I TRY TO GO IT REVS TO 3000RPM'S BUT ONLY GOES ABOUT 10MPH. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY REACH 30MPH-40MPH IT WON'T DOWN SHIFT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LAST YEAR & PUT $700 INTO IT. WAS FINE ALL SPRING & SUMMER BUT YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY THE TEMPS DROPPED INTO THE 30'S & IT HAS STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO THROUGH THIS ALL WINTER AGAIN & CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP DUMPING MONEY INTO THIS JEEP. *TR

AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF BLINKING AND GOING DARK, EVERYTHING BEGINS TO WORK AGAIN, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS EXACT SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. USUALLY THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1-5 DAYS AND THEN GO AWAY. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR. IN ONCE INSTANCE, I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE CITY GOING 10-15 MPH AND THIS SCENARIO HAPPENED AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. EVERYTIME I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY TRY TO PULL A CODE AND NOTHING IS AVAILABLE FOR THEM. AT THIS POINT I AM FED UP SO I AM OFFICIALLY REPORTING THE ISSUE. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY. LET'S HOPE SOMETHING IS OFFICIALLY DONE BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. *TR
