I continued to proceeded down long point road until I could pull off. Once the car restarted, acceleration was extremely limited. The car restarted after about 3 seconds and the check engine light came on. However, it was a rather tight round-about and was not able to make the turn and I went over the curb and drove straight through the middle of the round-about. Luckily there weren't any cars in the round-about when I entered. The loss of power resulted in not being able to slow down. 30mph heading towards a round-about when everything shutdown. On at 6:00am I was driving on long point road when the vehicle completely shutdown - all electrical, engine, lights, breaks, etc. I find it hard to believe that internally the truck just wasn't meant to hold up.Īll problems of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee I had the battery and alternator tested and they both came back good. Now when turning the truck, there seems to be a lack of power as well. I've gotten most of the front-end replaced: tire-rods, ball-joints, cv-shafts/axles, struts, stabilizer links and more. Also going back to the lag, you'll hear a chain-like sound as if the differential has an issue. It feels safe at times, but when the �service 4wd� light appears it becomes almost frightening to drive the truck as it requires more attention then any other vehicle I've encountered. It will feel like you're on a rollercoaster and the vehicle is just rumbling down the road. When in motion, going around 60-80 mph, the vehicle seems to have a moderate shake as in it vibrates from the undercarriage into the cabin area. Going at low rpms, I also noticed that when going from 15-30 mph there seems to be a delay in travel as the truck will seem to be lagging or wants to slow down when my foot isn't on the accelerator. Also the ignition switch was replaced on a recall. The truck has been multi point checked at a local cdj dealership and it passed. Either the bushings are worn or the driveshaft is worn. There also seems to be a loud thud that comes from directly under the vehicle when engaging p r n & d. The truck also seems to lack power either that being an old software that it is using or the overall drivetrain is just abysmal. Now the vehicle was maintenance regularly and I have had issues before I've replaced the egr valve, throttle position sensor, spark plugs, pcv valve, automatic transmission oil cooler, a/c compressor even replaced the crankshaft position sensor. Have had multiple service calls trying to fix the issue and am now going to venture down the lemon law lane.Īll problems of the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokeeĭuring routine visits to my neighborhood supermarket, I've noticed while driving the rpm meter was going up and down at a stand-still. Screen at one point wouldn't let me back up without turning off the parking sensors because it thought their was something behind the car, and there was physically nothing to make the sensor think that way. (not able to upload video evidence, only picture of screen). It often stays frozen for long periods of time. The screen restarting mid drive freaks me out because it just stops and restarts, and the backup issue is a major safety concern. Since testing and getting replacement parts, my vehicle continues to restart its screen randomly, the backup camera freezes, and the artist button does not work half the time. I believe my vehicle is a lemon, and I do not feel safe with the electrical issues. After multiple visits and time spent waiting for my vehicle to be fixed under warranty, there doesn't seem to be anything else they can do to fix my problem. The dealership upgraded the software, replaced the backup camera, and most recently replaced the radio itself. It then progressed to the backup camera freezing, which has almost caused multiple accidents. It then changed to the screen restarting while I was driving down the road, sometimes multiple times. It started as noticing the "favorite artist" button not working on the vehicle correctly. I have had continued issues with my vehicle for over four months.
