#591 of 707 which is a better jeep by chris298

im about to buy a 1994 jeep grand cherokee from an original owner and is in great condition for 1.600 was all fired up about it then saw the reliability marks when it came to transmission and driveline issues and elrctrical, and even the 4 wheel drive! however the classic didnt have those low marks in any category. ive owned several xj's in the past, great wheelers and reliable daily driver, however i was looking forward to the much cleaner and more luxury insides of the grand cherokee, it has the same engine as the xj, the 4.oliter. can anyone tell me something good about the zj, or am i making a mistake choosing thezj over thexj, could use some opinions on this matter

My 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee,had these problems .
On startup no gages,no warning lights,no read out from the status control pannel, and no turn signals.
Removed negative battery terminal connector for an hour then reconnected it to the battery.
This seems to have corrected the problem.

#594 of 707 2011 GCL Battery issues by invader26

Dec 27, 2011 (2:30 am)

I purchased a new 2011 GCL V6 a couple of months ago. All's going well EXCEPT I've had three battery failures so far the last being Xmas Day. Car not driven for three days and battery dead flat. Roadside assist got it going. Now have no radio or other panel features. Screen blank. Never in my 40+ years of owning cars have I experienced this. My other car is a Mercedes C Class 200K and all we do is put fuel in it. It is a perfect vehicle.
 
Last trip to the dealer found no fault. Second failure they changed the battery and now three weeks later back to square ne.
 
Any thoughts?

One of two things is causing the problem. The battery is getting discharged due to a short, or the battery is not being charged when the GCL is running.
Because the radio and panel features stopped working. the best guess would be the wiring to the automatic switch assembly(or the assembly itself) that allows the radio to stay on when the switch is turned off until the door is opened.

Same thing is happening to my '06 Laredo
We need to start calling this number from Dept. Of Transportation
 NHTSA to make this issue become a recall, 1888-327-4236
Spread the word! We don't have to pay out of pockets if it becomes recalled !!!

If it's the factory installed alarm, you can just not arm it instead of pulling the fuses. With the doors closed use the automatic door locks to secure all doors & liftgate. Then exit the driver door and either slide the lock manually and close the door or close the door and lock it with the key (not the fob.)
 
If the alarm works all day at work with no problem, I would consider that someone is screwing with you. Maybe they don't like where you park or something.
 
Alternatively, maybe your battery is running down after X hours and your alarm is responding to the drop in current.
