| I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Limited. The problem I am having is whenever the roads are wet or snow covered the all-wheel drives slips out. It seems like it shifts to rear wheel drive. The computer on the center console shows the tires blinking green. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |

| My 05 JGC does not start if it has set for longer than a day without it being driven. I have had it in for repair 4 different times for the same problem and it still happens. I have contacted Diamler Chrysler about my JGC being a lemon and they have yet to respond. What could be causing this since nobody at the dealership has figured it out yet? | |

I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7 (WK) with 4,100 miles on it. Overall, been very happy with the car and problem free... Except... When the Jeep shifts from 2nd to 3rd, there is a noticeable "thump" or jerking motion... Almost as if it is holding on to 2nd a little too long... The thump is particularly noticeable 20% of the time, 70% of the time its modest, and 10% it shifts perfectly. Other shift points are smooth (making the hard shift from 2nd to 3rd even more noticeable). My brother's 7 year old Isuzu Trooper (with 100k miles) shifts smoother... Anybody have a similar problem and perhaps solution? Dealer says its "normal"...  Thanks. |

| I have a 96 Grand Cherokee and it was running fine until recently. It turns over and starts up, but the engine cuts off if you remove your foot off of the gas. The problem is sporadic and may or may not occur depending on the day. I took it to a local mechanic who believed the problem related to the alarm system. He was not able to disable the alarm or fix the problem, but provided a work around by using the key on the passenger side and then the driver's side then starting the car. This may or may not work all the time. I took it to the dealer and they provided a different work around using the keyless entry that also may or may not work all of the time. I just want it fixed. Someone I know had a 93 Grand Cherokee with a similar problem and it was the ignition coil (only a $100 problem). I mentioned this to the local mechanic and the dealership and they both dismissed this as the reason for the problem. For now I don't know if it is truly an issue with the alarm or something else. Any suggestions? | |

I apologize up-front for my ignorance, as I am not too good with cars. I have a 2000 JGC and noticed that it has been shuttering while driving high speeds. The shutter is not constant and only happens 50MPH+. It has become more frequent, which concerns me quite a bit. Additionally, the last two times that I have stopped to fill my tank, the car will not start. I have been forced to wait 10-15 minutes before the car will start. The battery is fine and doesn't require replacement. I am getting feedback that it is a transmission problem, but am looking for some other opinions. Any info you guys have to offer would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance!
