It acts as though it is shifting gears but it isn't, then within 5 miles it dies. We have replaced plugs, wires, battery, all kinds of sensors, the computers and still it will not go 10 miles before shutdown. Then I have to wait 15 minutes, before it will start back up to even go down the road. I live 30 miles from a dealership to even have it put on the computer. It would take me all day to drive it to get there just to hopefully find out what is wrong. I can't afford to keep trying this part and that part just to even try to get to work. When it is below 65 degrees outside then I can drive it upto 20 miles, but that is even taking a chance in getting stranded.

This vehicle has experienced repeated and unexplained failures of the cranking sensor (six at this time in a two-year period), causing the loss of engine without warning. This has occurred while the vehicle was idling and also at road speed, increasing the possibility of a severe accident. From various online searches it appears that thousands of these unexplained failures are occurring to other jeep vehicles. The cause for the failures has yet to be determined.

Transmission has been replaces 3 times and is slipping again. I have spoken with several auto repair places and other 1005 jeep owners and the all say the air conditioning system and transmission in the 1995 jeep grand cherokee have issues. I also replaced the A/C and it is not cooling that great anymore- maybe freon but the transmission is a joke. Will never buy another jeep!!!!!!

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.
