The check engine light on my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee keeps coming on and all of my dash board lights and controls go to nothing. I stop and turn off the vehicle and re-start it, runs fine, but going down the road this keeps happening. I have the vehicles serviced every 3000 miles. What could be wrong?

I also have a jeep grand cherokee 2006 and it has the same problem. I took it to the dealership and they had to replace a chip in the computer. fortunately my car was under warranty at the time. Now my car is not under warranty anymore and the problem is happening again. The dealership stated it was a computer problem and it runs around $600 to fix. I am guessing the only way to fix it is turn off the car and then turn back on.

i have just had same problem with all dash lights and warnings flashing on and off intermittently, plus loos pf tach and speedo. Some type of electrical module failure? Still under factory warranty and off dealer tomorrow if it starts in a.m.

We have an 06 cherokee which in the last month, has started this electrical problem. the battery has already crashed. just notice the driverside rear seal has blown out and leaked greese and oil everywhere. the alignment has torn up a set of tires. And all this and only 60k miles.. have another friend who has nothing but problems with hers as well. My opinion is that they are JUNK!! get rid of your jeep ASAP.

I am sooo glad I found this site! I have had my Jeep for 4 months and all of a sudden all the dash lights will come on and the needles start going crazy. Of course, when i took it to the shop to get it checked out, it did nothing!! The tech said this was pretty common, and said it might be the communication between the battery and the cluster but wont know for sure until it happens and he can read the codes. So, i would like to know if anyone finnally got the problem fixed and what it was.

After reading your comments in this great forum, Im convinced mine should be a lemon. At 6000k it had a water leak somwhere in the sunroof that I had to take to the dealer three times and at the end they seal it somehow in a nasty way leaving silicon glue all over my passanter door. they said I had to go back one more time for it to be a lemon i try contacting chryslerwith no luck need advice. My radio sound is death only turns on for a minute or so can't afford to be putting money in such a junk will never buy dodge or chrysler ever. Loyal to dodge since 90s

i have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 3.7. My problem is the park, reverse, neutral and drive boxes all light up and then the transmission neutrals out. About 15 seconds later it goes back to normal. Happens almost everyday. anyone ever seen this.

Just heard from my dealer. The Electronic shift module is bad. $550 installed. Gee, I wonder why people think that Chrysler is a POS?
