Component (diode) on 60 pin PCM has a short causing injector number 6 to stick wide open. Result is a cylinder compressing fuel which can lead to explosion, also raw fuel escaping out of the tail pipe and large amounts of smoke. Gasoline pulls the oil off of cylinder wall causing excessive friction and engine damage along with catalytic converter damage. If rear ended when injector is sticking open could cause explosion or fire! I have confirmed this on 3 other 93-95 grand cherokee obd I models as well. Jeep was idling near someone welding and the injector stuck open and started a fire. Fire was exstinguished immediately with dirt and water. No physical damages occurred just a scare. I moved injector 6 plug to 8, then 8 stuck open, upon putting pressure on the computer connector I realized the injector would operate normally again. Been happening for months, just now found the root cause. Will upload pics later if it will let me. I can set fire to the ground where the tailpipe is when injector is stuck open.

The door jumper harness (p/n 5010265aa) caused the alarm to continually go off, the interior lights to flash off and on, and the radio to stop working. This is a constant fault on that year for vehicle due to the service manager at best buys in louisville, ky and other people I have spoken to that have this particular vehicle.

The evaporator leakes into the passenger compartment when the AC works, have been told that the accumulator is bad so it will not hold a charge. The speedometer will work sporadically, sometimes it works fine, other times it doesn't work at all, and the sometimes it bounces around, though the speed control still works even when speedometer does not. The speed sensor has been replaced and that has not made any difference. The clock on the radio as well as other display items will sometimes light up and other times not, like the wires are coming loose or something. The rear axle housing is bent even though it hasn't pulled anything heavy and has only been driven on paved roads for the 3 years before. Engine leaks oil from the intake manifold gasket and other areas. Have had to have the input and output seals replaced on the transmission twice.

My 1995 jeep grand cherokee limited 4x4 keeps stalling all the time. Rough idle when started and check engine light comes on all the time. Also, alarm is defective and flashes the exterior lights and honks the horn anytime any of the doors are opened or closed and the power lock button is pushed to lock or unlock. The engine temperature gauge doesn't even show a reading and the factory infinity gold cd radio turns on but no sound. My jeep has a warranty on it right now and these problems have been ongoing since 2/25/06. I've had my jeep to the original dealer where I got it, which has ase certified techs, and also to two authorized jeep dealerships with no resolution to any of these problems and to date have been charged over $450.00 between the three dealerships. I have sent now two e-mails to the chrysler group customer assistance center and the first e-mail I received back brought up two recalls: #747 disc brake rotors #b02 floor shifter secondary system and the second e-mail I got back from chrysler still had no information about the stalling and/or rough idle. This is entirely unacceptable as I have not been able to use the vehicle for quite some time now because of danger to me or others if it would stall while driving, the financial drain and the sheer unreliability. I would like a resolution to this as soon as possible.
