Good luck. If someone knows something else..Please write.
I've got an 06 Grand Cherokee Laredo (3.7 V6) with less than 6,000 miles that I have been having recurring problems with. Almost once a week for the past month a loud, jolting thunk has come from under the hood on the driver's side. It makes the whole car jerk. After that the whole center panel (including AC) and all of the gauges die.
I have taken it to my local dealer numerous times since I have had it and they said they couldn't get the codes, could not reproduce the problem, so they could not do anything. :mad:
Well, yesterday it happened again and my wife was able to get it to them and they were able to pull 3PAGES OF CODES!!! It looked like a grocery list.
They said that the computer essentially has a virus that resets all of its settings in mid-drive. The jerking is the transmission and some other component not getting the right signals at the right time.
Here's the kicker. They have to wait on Chrysler on Monday to get the supreme mechanic brain to interpret all of these codes. Then it takes multiple hours just to download patches. Then mechanics I, suppose, will be uploading them to the car. Then I have to test and see if this works. Hello, :lemon: !
I should not have this kind of problem on a car less than a year old. I bought this vehicle from this dealership and I have taken it their maintenance department exclusively (have all the records).
Thanks for letting me rant. I hope no one else has this problem. If anyone can explain any of their lemon experiences (in FL) I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Nick
that extended warranty sounding better

I was at the repair shop today and the guy said the front differential has been badly damaged and the cost for a new front differential alone is approx $2000. He will try to find a used part for me but would not give me a ball park estimate until he find the part. But he did mention the entire job (part + 5hr labor)should be just about $2000. Can anyone give me an idea how much a new front differential costs and how much a used front differential costs? Is it worth it to spend that kind of money to fix it? Your input will be very helpful. Thanks.
...brought it into a dealer who indicated that the entire window needs to be replaced, which essentially means ripping the interior and exterior apart...
....needless to say, I am not too impressed with the quality of this vehicle....for the price I paid, I at least expect the vehicle to be waterproof...am I asking too much?
...all I have to say is...there is a lot of competition out there in the Grand Cherokee segment and Jeep better get its' act together or loyal buyers like myself will be looking seriously elsewhere for better quality...
...there is no excuse for having to bring in a new vehicle with very low miles for leaks or anything else!!!
:mad:
Thanks
So, I'm asking if there are any special tools or tricks to replace it please.
The symptom is no rear brake lights. And since it was recently inspected, the odds of all 3 bulbs going out are not as great as the odds of the switch wearing out. That's my hunch. Thanks for the help.
Cheers ...Jim H.
Mine leaked from the top of the rear driver's side window (the one that doesn't open)....I noticed it after I took it through a touchless car wash...water was streaming down the window and dropping into the cargo area...
....don't know if this is an isolated incident or a widespread problem...so yours could be okay...try taking it through a car wash and looking for any water inside that wasn't there before...
I see signs of burn on the aircon leads close to the blower.
Ideas por favor?
Cheers...Jim ( down Mexico way)
I truly hope this fixes it. I have talked to the State's Atty General Office already and they said I can pursue the Lemon Law here in FL.
I am sorry any new car buyer has to go through this kind of headache; it is quite frustrating :mad:
i could be riding down the road ant speedometer is working and then it will stop working
Oh man... have I ever dealt with this issue. The steering wheel will sometimes have a constant click while driving. I don't even have to be turning, just driving down the highway and "click.... click, click". Ugh, very annoying. To make a long story short, I finally gave up. The Jeep dealer I had look at it (twice) was no help. Gave me the runaround and broke other stuff in the process. Will never make the mistake of buying another Jeep. It has numerous problems - LEMON!
look like you have a lick some where in the radiator. but is so small that you can not see it. have your radietor check by an expert. he will tell you where is the problem.
my problem start just like that. but after time the plastic part of the radiator broke. and had to replace. also they clean up my radiator inside. now every thing is ok
Searching on the internet I found this place.

The sell rotors that have been hardened via a freezing process. Bought their rotors and pads and my warping problem was SOLVED.
Note: JGC rotors are their #1 seller.
Welcome!
I lost my Monte Carlo that day but we all lived. Thank God!
The boy had no insurance and no DL.
My insurance refused to pay because it had just lapsed.
Anyway I am now in a wheelchair. My wife took my 95 Dodge Ram that had a bench seat in it and traded it for a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI, plus she gave the guy $800.00 to boot.
She did this so we all would have a car we can all fit in and put the wheel chair in.
Since I got out og the hospital I have driven it and noticed that it makes a grindind noice when I try to put it in 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. It will work if I put it in low, but not the others. What is wrong with it?
The cruise control will not work either, and the fuses has been checked. ( I need that because I can't put presure on my leg)
I also noticed by being in the wheel chair that the driver side front tire is turned out further then the other.
I have everyone suing me for hospital bills, ect. While this 21 yr old is out on promation for 2 years.
So I don't have money to repair it. Cand someone please help me, please?
