Filed Jun 30, 2024 · Electrical, Engine · GA

I am experiencing so many problems with my jeep. It shift out of gear then start shutting down. Lights appear all across the dash board. At times, I have difficulty in shifting gear.The clutch slip and I get this burning smell. Then engine light comes on. It slow to move after shifting it into the forward gear. Sometimes it doesn't move when I shift it into the forward gear. Then when it does, it start bucking and kicking while driving. It slows down even when you press the gas pedal. Lastly, I have major problem with my a/c. It runs cool for a second and then completely shut off.

The vehicle's gauges will turn off while driving randomly. The speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge will all zero out for unspecified amounts of time. Sometimes 10 seconds, other times until the vehicle is started back up. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion. So, is very dangerous. Sometimes it causes the car to completely shut off and come back on. While shut off, the car sounds like it is struggling to continue its forward progress. This happens occasionally. Once the car corrects itself, the check engine light appears. After starting the car 2-3 times, the misfire corrects itself. I did a previous report related to the air bag light is on, but not sure if it is related with the same electrical problem.

When coming off of the off ramp from the highway, I came to a stop light. Once sitting at the stop light the heater, dash and headlights all went off but the car was still running. All 3 of the mentioned above flickered on and off multiple times before coming back on again and then the check engine light popped up. This is not related to the ignition as my knees are not even close to the key and the key has nothing dangling from it. This is rather dangerous. If I was still driving and it happened, I would not be able to see my speed or the road.

While I was driving in my local suburban neighborhood, after driving about 6 miles, my vehicle shuttered and the dashboard lights flicked on and off a few times and started beeping. I got really scared so I pulled over, turned the car on and off again, and that is when I noticed the check engine light was now on. I immedietely took it to my trustworthy mehanic and that it when he told me the code reader was giving an error code of u1411 ignition switch. I did my own research and discovered that my vehicle fits the description (year/make/model) of a recall that was done on jeeps 2006-2007 for faulty ignition switches.

I was told at the dealer I bought it from that all the recalls had been done. I have a service 4-wheel drive light now. The jeep seems to go into neutral at random times. Right after it is started and driving on the road. This was a used jeep that I bought in dec. 2016. Shorty after I bought the jeep the check engine light came on showing an emission code and then the transmission quit working. The transfer control quit working after they worked on it. I no longer have 4-wheel low or can I put it into neutral. But it seems to shift into neutral at random times. I have no control on if or when it will shift into neutral so I guess at this point I have yard art. The dealer just wants to throw parts at it until its fixed. They claim there is nothing wrong with the jeep. Or we don't know what could be wrong with the jeep but we will fix it to the tunes of thousands of $
