turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range
| Jeep Grand Cherokee in Michigan, United States Aug 2014 - Jun 2022 | |||
| Dec 2014106000 miUS $215 | leaking rear pinion seal replaced. Dealership couldn't find cause for vibration at 40 mph and transmission slippage at cold temperatures though. | ||
| Feb 2015108300 miUS $160 | The adjustable pedal switch failed and the left turn indicator switch failed. Repaired with a new pedal/seat switch board and new turn signal stalk. | ||
| Dec 2017134000 miUS $150 | Took to car wash, was running fine. Stopped/started a couple more times that day, but then just stopped turning over at all. Fuses/relays all in good order. Took to shop, they couldn't start, but by the time they fulling outfitted the Jeep with instruments to track the fault it fired right up and continued to do so for another 12-15 restarts immediately after while in the shop. Will likely replace the starter in the near future. | ||
| May 2020140000 miUS $10 | The connector to the starter solenoid on these Jeeps are cr@p. Had to splice in a new connector/wire to the start solenoid terminal. Simple job, but a PITA since you can only get 1 hand in that area to work. Would have been nice to have a lift. Likely much easier to do if 2WD. That said, much easier to do than to replace the starter when the problem is the harness/connector! | ||
| Dec 2020142000 miUS $2000 | Front right axle seal was bad for a while and who knows how long front diff was running with virtually no oil. Rear pinion seal was bad and replaced a few years ago, but when changing rear diff fluid, clearly water was present and possibly for years in there. So as a preventative maintenance item, both the front and rear differentials were rebuilt (new ring & pinion, seals, front diff mount, rear axles). In reality all parts actually still looked good, but I wasn't going to chance it to tow things. Unfortunately the rear end ring and pinion whine was not resolved. it is definitely quiter, but still very pronounced with the Chrysler 8.25" diff. Possibly a higher-end R&P kit might have fixed it, but functionality and cheaper costs are my priority with this vehicle. | ||
| Dec 2021149000 miUS $25 | injector seal (copper crush washer) was leaking. Removed injector, cleaned injector and seal seat in head, installed in copper washer with the old injector. This is the 3rd injector this was needed in the past 10,000 miles (all different injectors), so seems like the injector seals are good for around 140,000 to 150,000 miles. | ||
