I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee and recently my band in my transmission broke, so I have no 2nd gear. I brought it to a transmission shop and they told me it happens very often on the make and year of my vehicle. It would be an $1800.00 to $3000.00 fix. As of right now my car wont shift until it reaches 5000 RPM's, since I don't have the money to fix. I was just wondering if it has happened alot on this make and model car if it would be a recall.

What owners say
2000 jeep grand cherokee safety recall f25 - electric radiator fan. Consumer states the fan was replaced in january 2008 for the second time because it would not shut off and feels that it should have been replaced at no cost since it was recalled previously . *nj the consumer also stated the transmission wouldn't shift into first gear. The dealer found a bad transmission valve body, 02 sensor and sync signal out of specifications. The upper and lower ball joints had to be replaced. Updated 09/08/10
Disc brakes continually need work. Rotors warp and must be turned every 10,000 miles! Now the automatic transmission won't shift out of 2nd gear until the car is warmed up. What next? The brake maintenance alone has cost me nearly $2,000. This is a $30,000 vehicle and should not require this much maintenance!
Transmission slips intermittently, won't shift properly and vehicle bucks. Vehicle has been taken to dealer 7 times, cannot remedy the problem. Problem started at 9000 miles.
Transmission will slip out of gear and suddenly will go back into gear with a jerk. Vehicle, sometimes will not go into gear at all. This happens intermittently. Contacted dealer, and dealer looked at vehicle and replaced rear end, but did not remedy the problem. Please add VIN .
Transmission will not shift into park. When you shift into park, then release the shifter, the shifter moves backward into park. Very dangerous. Thank you.
