2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2017
- Service engine light, Service 4WD light and Anti-skid light on, tansmission feels like it's slipping, won't go into park electronicly (even though it is in park physically), ignition won't shut off due to not being in park, therefore engine won't shut off.
Update:
After a week in the shop, the mechanic fixed the problem. Turns out it was a valve body, internal to the transmission.

Sounds like you have been realky unlucky, sir. Ran a jeep for years and no problems ever. Had a brand new BMW Z4 and it was always going into safe-mode (throttle sensor replaced 3 times and motherboard replaced once). Luckily under warranty because I am not a lottery winner. To other viewers... if you buy used make sure you have at least 1 year warranty because any problems like that usually show up sooner rather than later. Most brands have horror stories. You would not BELIEVE the weird shit my 2012 XJ does if I let the battery go low. Knowing your vehicle's quirks and hacks will save you £1000's in unecessary bills. And never skimp on parts or servicing. Even experts get unlucky from time to time but a cranky car from a good dealership is often better than buying from a crappy dealer or privately. Hope you get the problem sorted. Thanks for making this video! Keep making them!
I had a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit and mine was having electrical issues where it wouldn't start ...... I replaced two batteries, a fuse box and still it was no luck.... Traded it for the 4runner Limited ....... Make sure before you get this vehicle that you perform a performance check ..........I had mine for only 3 months .......
Thanks for posting. I was considering the Jeep GC. I will be getting a Toyota or Lexus.
Yeah never a jeep, buy truly Japanese brands if you want reliability
Wise choice. My JGC 2014 gives me the error message "Service shifter " and gear doesn't change. I'll hit on the shifter like many times and sometimes it comes to life. Sometimes it doesn't. So bad. Jeep quoted me a hefty price for shifter replacement.
Does the Jeep Grand Cherokee need to be serviced, repaired, or fixed?
Hmm.. similar problem but different. I shift to Neutral and turn off the car (habit of having a manual car). Usually the car prevents it by saying shift to Park but it has let me at times. Then, the shift pin locks it into Neutral and the only way to take it out is to use the override cord in the centre console. Issue then is the car isn't aware it's in Park and won't allow me to start. Only solution is to disconnect the battery. It's happened twice and been back to Jeep. First time they did a software update. I didn't bother going back again because they have no idea. I'm hoping they issue a fix. In the meantime, don't switch car off in neutral.
I just bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee summit used certified. I didn’t drive it 40 miles before experiencing issues. Drives great and all if a sudden from a stop it won’t shift to 2nd. I threw it in N and back to D. I was on my way to the dealership for this. The computer throws no code that this happen 3 times now! My navigation speed limit is also off 5 to 15 on speed limits
Make sure you're not pulling the shifter lever to the left. If you are, you're putting the transmission into manual and it won't shift until you either shift it manually (push forward or backwards) or push it back to automatic (to the right). It's easy to do this without knowing it. I've done it a few times without realizing it.
@@naamangeist7843 took it back to the dealer and the replaced a pulley. It goes back on the 24th for a transmission specialist to check it out but only after I told them I read several reports on the internet regarding exactly what my car is doing. They told me they could get
me into something else! Yeah, I’m sure they could!
@@naamangeist7843 I looked all 3 times it did it to me.
Legend has it he is still stuck in his vehicle.
I'm being intravenously fed through a crack in the window and I'm chest-high in shit! LOL
transmission range sensor
The mechanic said it was a valve body that had to be replaced inside the transmission. All good now. Hopefully it stays that way.
Naaman Geist looking forward to buy a jeep do you think I shall buy it
*Click Bait* I'm happy with mine. Other than the issue here, I've had no problems.
Naaman Geist thanks for replying to my comment do you have problems now and how much did it cost to repair sorry for disturbing you.
Congrats you got a subscriber
*Click Bait* No problems since. It was under warranty so I paid nothing.
How much would this repair had cost had you paid out of pocket?
If you experience any other problems please respond to this comment, im interested to see if anything else arises and if the fix is permanent.
im having these problems
Hey, my '17 Grand Cherokee has done this twice now, both times dealer has "fixed" it only for the same issue to happen within 10km of driving. Taking it back to the dealer again tonight.
They told me they replaced the valve body inside the transmission. Haven't had a problem since. I'd request that they replace it, not just repair it. Best of luck.
@@naamangeist7843 thanks! Love my Jeep but this is crazy now lol
Please let me know how you turned off this car. I have the exact same issue right now. Idk which fuse to unplug from the fuse box
Sorry, just seen this message. I pulled the two large connectors from the module between the fuse box and the coolant reservoir. You'll need to lift the red locking levers first then pull them lose, if you haven't got it shut off yet.
Is the chassis truck-based or car-based? I would imagine that it is truck-based, then I probably shouldn't get it, truck-based chassis is too tiring to drive.
Macky Mode It's a mid-sized SUV with air-ride suspension. Lowered to entry-level when parked, raising to higher levels as you drive.
What? It drives like a car. Since it does not have a full frame like a truck, I would say "Car Based". Try driving a 60's car with no power steering, with a manual trans, and tell me how tiring it is! Lol keep using the bus pal!

I already have a car dumbass, I was obvious looking to get a new one.
Neither, it's a new jeep. It's a monocoque chasis, with independend suspension on all 4 wheels built to be off road capable.
The car is telling you to get your 4 wheel drive components serviced. They are all in one drivetrain, so that is most likely the problem.
How much did it cost for you to fix this issue? The same this is happening to my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee right now…
It was under warranty so didn't cost me a penny. Depending on when you purchased this, you may still be under warranty also. These have a 5 year / 60k mile drivetrain warranty from the factory.
If u push and hold that button down it should shut the engine off. All push button start vehicles. Has to have some way u can kill the engine if something should happen. And u can always unplug battery or pull the fuel pump fuse.
I ended up pulling the main harness from the fuse panel.
Which fuse is the main one? We are having similar problems
@@naamangeist7843which fuse did you unplug. I have this EXACT issue right now. It’s 9pm, dealerships are closed so I just need to turn off this car
Wow, 05Feb2019. I thank everyone for their honest evaluations n experiences. I want a 2019 GC trailhawk so bad I can't sleep. 🤪
I see so many Jeeps on the road up north Michigan its unreal. I hate the Toyota Rav4, but Tundra we have n it's a gas hog with the hemi 5.7l.
These remarks really trouble me since reading them. Guess everyone has issues with vehicles today. So what 4x4 or awd do you buy then? Now the 2019 Caddy XT4 is looking more appealing but at a much higher cost as well. I'd have to use a 6 foot extension to launch my Hobie PA14. Not the ideal rig for fishing environment huh? I really am considering a Jeep GC Trailhawk. Although I don't want continuously taking it to the dealership. My last vehicle for my life, so I'd like a good rig. Any thoughts?
To be honest, this is the only issue I've had with this vehicle and haven't had it back to the dealer since, other than for the free oil changes. The all-wheel-drive is awesome in this Indiana snow!
Exactly. My I know someone who got a 2013 grand Cherokee new and now has over 100 thousand miles on it today and it’s going great.
Ty Clark I am buying a 2018 Trailhawk right now 5.7L my 3rd Jeep GC yeah I have had some issues with the older ones but I also wheel the hell out of these things and they have gotten me out of some bad situations. To each their own , do what you want , dont listen to these tools. I also have a awd subaru also a very good awd system but tranny are junk! and if you dont go wrx/turbo they are gutless.
Buddy Shoe Thanks for the reply Buddy. I think its getting closer to the day.
Naaman Geist Thanks I appreciate your thoughts n suggestions.
This just happened to me today after a mechanic took it down off the lift from it running at idle speed off the ground for sevreal moments. Nothing was wrong with the vehi9cle however now the ABS, the traction control, backup sensor, 4wd system (causing transmission to slip I also beleive) and power steering are all not functioning I think it is in fact an electrical issue. He was unable to get any sensor reads from the obd2. Apparently there is some sort of connection behind the dash which requires you to remove the navigation assembly. I will post updates when I find out.
Any updates I'm having an the sane issue
@@KBoogie915 me too any update.
I ended up using the harness that came with the used motor big mistake had to swap bag the original harness and that's what it ended up being
I had that issue after I swapped the motor
I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee I have this problem now after having a lock smith come and give me a new key having same problems don’t know what it is
disconnect battery right side passenger seat under has a battery put in Parking Brake I did what best knowledge for my GC too
Which dealership did you buy this JEEP from. It the dealership located in NY?
Elmhurst, IL
I’m in western NY... terrible dealership
Hi, thanks for the video. I've been running circles around Grand Cherokee for few months now, but the whole internet screams about how unreliable Jeeps are and it scares shit out of me. Could you please share you further experience with the car.
Alex Sukstansky So far, this has been my only issue. Jeep's roadside assistance towed me to my local dealer/repair facility and they had me back on the road in less than a week. They also provided me with a rental while I waited. I've had 2 Grand Cherokees before this one and didn't have any major issues with those. Hopefully, this will be the last of the issues with this one. Best of luck with yours.
Friend I have a jeep overland 2011 5.7 hemi in the last few months became a nightmare, electrical faults, a lifter was turning and I hurt the camshaft and had to disassemble half engine to change all the lifters and the camshaft (all your oil changes were in time and with mobile oil 1 synthetic) after a lot of money in the air suspension, change the front shock absorbers, the gear lever has many faults, because now I can not change gears or speeds. It went crazy because if I move the lever to + instead of making upward change it makes them descend and I can not change to D only if I push N and back to D. Now I bring a problem that nobody knows what it is. begins to turn on the brake light without applying the brake, and this causes failures from turning on the skid control warning, service message to suspension code P0703, change the brake pedal switch and nothing the fault continues ... this has risk of damaging the automatic transmission because it could not separate the power of the converter motor from the automatic box, in the last 6 months I could not sell it because I fix some flaw and the week presents another and another, I have had the previous two generations of Jeep Grand Cherokee and I was happy, this generation hate it, everything seems to be failing and I take care of my cars, you really look at the SUV and it looks like new, beautiful black color, the line I love but its faults drove me crazy and I do not stop spending money, the bad thing about this is that having a luxury car like this, the others become ugly, and I do not want to have a vehicle with so much electronics and techno loggia since they are headaches, an example are the LAND ROVER beautiful but equally they are shit, they fail of everything, now that I repair it I hope to sell it and I do not know that SUV can fill me because it is the line that I like the most personal. Greetings and luck
I've a 2006 with few issues. It had an upgraded exhaust by the original owner as it was too loud. The supercharger bearings failed and I speed sensor replaced 2 years ago and the fan speed sensor is slow to respond. It just hit 65k Miles. All in all not to bad for a car that doesn't exist according to Daimler Chrysler. The say they never built it yet all the build sheets are from them.
Fiat grand Cherokee full of problems unless you lease it. Don't buy
How on earth is this the most awarded SUV ever? This thing, like all Chrysler products are junk.
The crash test ratings got 1 star overall! Which means this is a junky unreliable overpriced money pit fiat
@@Tahara-Aichi No, it got 4 stars, not sure what you looked up.
Lol this car is amazing and I’m sure the owner thinks that as well that’s why we bought it. You morons don’t know shit about the Jeep Grand Cherokee it’s the best SUV out right now. One of.
Pentastar Nate enjoy your pos Chrysler I’ll stick with my 2008 Toyota 4Runner with 250,000 miles with zero problems your pos could only dream of lasting that long without major repairs
DOOMHAMMER1759 : Lmao your saying explains it all.
Should've listened to Scotty
Oh... that guy. If in listened to everything that nut job said I’d be roller blading to work . THEY’RE ALL PIECE’S OF JUNK... except for his precious Toyota’s of course🤣
I had the same issue when my jeep GCS. was only 1,100 miles now at 75,000 miles has some electrical issues.
don't buy Chrysler vehicles.
i have a 16 jgc and its having some electrical issues like this but worse theyfixed it once it blew a fuse block and they fixed that and updated the software now its having similar issues they say its the alternator that melted the fuse block again what were your issues and how did you fix them
chris m
Mine was never fixed.
I just had to trade in for a new one.
Here is my NIGHTMARE STORY with the Electronic Shift Module. Chrysler Customer Care told me Tuff Luck Sucker!
I have a 2017 Jeep GC Limited with 55K miles that had the "Service Shifter" warning light come on. Vehicle ran fine no issues. Made appt. with local Jeep Dealership and drove the Jeep in yesterday (03/29/22). Ran just fine, I just wanted the light cause diagnosed and fixed. Dealership ran a diagnostic on it and informed me it needed an updated software flash. Conducted the Flash. NOW... the vehicle is inoperable without a complete Electronic Shift Module (ESM) replacement. They could not even reverse what they did so I could drive home. What they did was IRREVERSIBLE and I would have to leave the car there until they could find a NEW ESM and install it for $900! I had to take a Uber home and have no vehicle. This is not right for a vehicle with only 55K miles that was running just fine into the Jeep dealership. Please help!
You should’ve bought a Toyota
I owned a jeep and disnt even last me 5 months.. and it eat gas
Should’ve bought a Toyota 🤣😂😂
Don’t use select shift. Manual shifting will destroy your transmission. It’s junk in all cars. I destroyed my Mazda 3 transmission by using select shift
nate love, I never use this feature. Don't see the need, if it's designed to be most efficient in auto. Thanks for the tip.
Jeep Grand Cherokee is still a solid SUV. Holds its resale value. Good dealer network and Jeep fan forum network to get quick information. My friends Jeep Grand Cherokee is approaching 300,000 Miles 2012. He dogs the crap out of it. My boss has a Grand Cherokee 2016. He drives like a maniac. You’ll get a lot of miles out of it. Salute to the workers in Toledo OHIO who builds them.👍
have an 18 grand cherokee, has been to the dealer 3 times already for the same electrical issue, car will come on by itself in the middle of the night, horn will go off, etc. all while the car is OFF. these trucks are garbage STAY AWAY
Liar
I'm searching this thread for the EXACT problem. Mine is doing it right now at 12:30am in the morning! 2017 Grand Cherokee.
@@stevenlandrumii7870 disconnect the battery and bring it to the dealer. They changed PCM 3 times all to no avail. Eventually the car stopped having these problems seemed completely random to me
Please get rid of that Grand Cherokee because underneath the hood is junk invest in a Toyota or Honda you be well worth it
JEEPS SUCKS!! STICK WITH HONDA BRO
