Chrysler Recalls 2005 Grand Cherokees Due to Possible Under-Hood Fire Hazard

Drive Train, October 31, 2005

RepairPal Expert Overview:

Chrysler is recalling 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokees because the air conditioner evaporator condensate water may enter the transmission at the fill tube grommet seal. This can result in a shudder during torque converter clutch engagement, which can lead to increased transmission operating temperatures, boiling of the water, and a subsequent purging of transmission fluid into the engine compartment. This may cause a fire under the hood. Dealers will inspect all components and repair/replace as necessary.
