Known issues on the 2005 Grand Cherokee. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year: a suspension condition that can cause a loss of effective lift and lowering of the vehicle, an automatic transmission that can run up its operating temperatures and boil the water, a four-wheel-drive transfer case that can shift into neutral and let the vehicle roll away (crash risk), and an exterior-lighting fault whose decreased visibility can lead to a crash. Owners have filed 2,733 complaints and Jeep has issued 90 technical service bulletins for the year.

From a routine service interval to a control-module reflash or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 Grand Cherokee.
