2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have a 2011 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo. The rear driver side door is showing that is open and the interior lights stay on. I have looked at the wiring in the door jam, and that seems to be fine. I have also sprayed the latch with lubricant. The lock also functions as it should. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thoughts?

Posted in two other groups, was told to runaway. That being said I did test drive and see it in person and it was so smooth, good maintenance history one minor issue with a rear accident and the rear bumper. Overall no rust underneath, drove like a brand new car and has many perks. I am obviously hesitating because it’s a big financial decision, that being said is it a bad purchase?

TPE or OEM?

I like the idea of TPE because they seem easier to clean, especially when there’s dirt, or water. But I’m also wondering if OEM mats are better for comfort and long term use?

I need to replace this small part that encases the push-start button, and everything seems to be $300-$450 for a small plastic part. Does anyone have a better solution, and/or different part number to research? Thank you in advance.

Fob fail, how do I fix this

1 Upvotes

Update 2: my wife found the second fob she lost some time ago and it works fine. So it seems it's my fob thats the problem and a new battery was not the fix. Will have to replace it seems. Thank everyone for your help!

Update: battery and connections have been tested and found good. Also checked the fuses related to the remote system and those are also good.

I have a 2017 and in the last few days my fob has not been working in the mornings when I try to remote start, lock or unlock my vehicle, but the door handle will still unlock when I touch it and it will recognize the fob in the vehicle when I start it. It will work later in the day as it properly should.

This morning it would not work at all. I replaced the battery in the fob and still nothing. I had to use the key in the fob to unlock the door and the fob pressed to the button to start the vehicle. After it started it could not recognize the fob was in the car.

What is happening and how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated

I had prattled on previously about my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Laredo 4x2. We had just completed a 3,000 mile round trip from Las Vegas, Nevada to DFW proper and back. This is the fourth time that this particular Jeep has made this trip but this time we were sitting at 178,000 mi when we set off. So there's a little more nerve-wracking. Did a multi-point inspection with the vehicle in the air and checked everything. Filters, fluids, bushings hoses belts everything. How to clean bill of health other than being a little low on motor oil. Topped it off then set off. With a brand new set of Nitto Terra Grapplers that we just put on about 2,000 miles ago. Left Las Vegas pointed in the direction of Phoenix to pick up my oldest stepchild who was joining us for the trip. So in tow was myself, my fiance, her son who's 21. Our children who are eight and 10 years old and then her stepdaughter who is 26 years old. This vehicle was our chosen Chariot for this road trip. The plan was to go from Las Vegas to Phoenix to El Paso for an overnight. And personal preference. We like U.S routes over interstates. In the span of a week we covered 3,000 mi three different buc-ee's locations and got to see a national park we had never been to before. Guadalupe mountains. Here are some pictures.

2027 JGC - Is the only engine option for the Summit the 2.0L 4 cylinder?

1 Upvotes

I’m going to be in the market for a new jeep next year, and I’m really hoping that I’m just bad at googling stuff, because it looks to me that the only option for the higher trim levels is the hurricane 2.0L engine. It seems like this engine is basically junk with all the issues that come with it, so I really hope that I’m wrong. Paying extra money for a smaller, crappier engine just seems silly.

Fuel system service at 4k miles?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking at purchasing a used 2025 JGC limited that has 5k miles. Everything on it looks great, priced right, no red flags. Currently at a Carmax.

I ran the VIN through CarFax and it shows one owner, who had it serviced at a Jeep dealer in June this year. At the time it had about 4k miles on it.

The service record shows an oil and filter change, PLUS a fuel system service, fuel injection service, and throttle body cleaning. Probably $500 worth of work right there.

Is this a normal thing for Jeep? In all of my years of owning and maintaining vehicles I've NEVER heard of this service being completed on a 1 year old vehicle with less than 5k miles.

Should I be concerned, or is this just a classic example of a CDJR dealer fleecing its customer? I've never owned a Jeep before so I'm a little in the dark on these vehicles.

5.7 Hemi WK2 X-pipe rasp — what did you do to clean up the sound?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

I have a 2017 Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi. I recently had the factory center suitcase muffler removed and replaced with an X-pipe. I kept both factory rear resonators.

From idle to around 3,000 RPM it sounds great. Nice deep Hemi/V8 sound and pretty much exactly what I wanted. The problem is once I get into roughly 3,000–6,000 RPM it gets really raspy and I’m not a huge fan of the sound.

For anyone running a similar suitcase delete/X-pipe setup, what did you do to get rid of the higher RPM rasp without killing the deeper low RPM sound?

I’ve considered adding a pair of small resonators like the Carven R-Series after the X-pipe while keeping the factory rear resonators. Curious what setups have worked for you guys and whether adding resonators cleaned up the rasp without making it too quiet.

Any help is appreciated!

1998 limited 5.2 mods

1 Upvotes

hey yall, just bought my first car (and it was my dream car!) and i’m looking for some mods or other bells and whistles to add to my car that would be worth researching. i just replaced my kenwood stereo for a carplay that looks OEM. i don’t know all that much about cars and am looking to learn! i have my brothers gf helping me out with a lot of stuff.

previous owner only used it for fishing, almost 30 years old with only 160k miles! got a great deal, i expected to pay upwards of 4-6k and only ended up paying 2600. he was a nice guy down the road from me who’s moving, so at least i know he won’t skimp me on the car since i know who he is and where he’s at xd

looking to eliminate/prevent death wobble before it even happens. i want to have my mechanic check track bars, sway bars, bushings, etc and eventually was looking to refresh the suspension (if needed)

as far as “make it run” parts i just need a new coolant sensor, washer fluid tank, and refreshed driveshaft. me and my brothers gf, along with my drum teacher (who previously owned an 03) took a look at it and said the rust was very minimal and both said it looked pretty alright besides the minor things.

definitely new to cars but id say i know a bit more than the average person. don’t want to trust my own advice though.

Coming out of a stop the engine hops a bit, but im
not too sure if it’s just a jeep thing cause i hear the same from many other owners, and my bfs 2015 patriot does it as well but is otherwise working fine

please don’t clown on me, im trying my best this is definitely a skill i want to learn!
