2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problems
Brake Pulsations Due to Warped Front Brake Rotors
Due to warped front brake rotors or variations in the thickness of the rotors, brake pulsations may develop. The best method to reduce pulsations is to use an "On the Car" brake lathe (as long as the rotors are suitable for turning). "On the Car" equipment can correct variations (or "runout") in the rotor surfaces because it also corrects variations in other components (e.g. the hub).
Front and Rear Differential Pinion Seal and Transfer Case Leaks
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
Replace Transmission Cooler Return Filter if it Has "AB" Suffix
If the transmission delays initial gear engagement after being parked overnight or longer, it may be due to a suspect transmission cooler return filter. If the transmission was recently serviced and the part number for the cooler return filter contains an "AB" suffix at the end, a new filter should be installed.
Software Updates Address Erroneous Illumination of Warning Lights
Software updates are available to solve various Check Engine Light and warning light related issues.
Check engine Light due to failed charcoal canister
Multiple Displacement system must use correct 5W-20 oil
Check Engine Light Due to Failed Thermostat
The thermostat may fail to close completely, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. This problem will prevent the engine from reaching normal operating temperature; a new thermostat should be installed.
The Fuel Tank is Hard to Fill and/or the Fuel Fill Nozzle Shuts Off Repeatedly While Fueling
The fuel tank may become hard to fill and/or the fuel fill nozzle may shut off repeatedly while fueling. Our technicians tell us that various items including the fuel tank, vapor recirculation tube, fuel fill tube, or EVAP system canister control valve may be at fault. Proper diagnoses will be required to determine the exact cause of this concern.
The Check Engine Light With Code P013A and/or P013C
On Vehicles with a 3.7L V6 or 4.7L V8 engine, the Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P013A and/or P013C. Or technicians tell us that updated software for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available to correct this concern.
Popping or Groan Noise When Opening or Closing One or More of the Vehicle Doors
A popping or groan type noise may occur when opening or closing one or more of the vehicle doors. This may be caused bu insufficient lube on the lower hinge roller axle. Applying a small amount of grease between the roller pin and the inside surface should correct this concern. Our technicians tell us if the grease is not applied in the correct location, the noise will remain.
Rough Idle After Cold Start With Code P050D Stored
The engine may develop a rough idle after cold start with the Check Engine Light illuminated and code P050D stored. Our technicians tell us a powertrain control module (PCM) software upgrade is available to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light With Any or All of The Following Codes: P2302, P2305, P2308, P2311, P2314, P2317, P2610
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with any or all of the following codes: P2302, P2305, P2308, P2311, P2314, P2317, P2610. Our technicians tell us that updated software for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light Code P2181 For a Cooling System Performance Fault
On Vehicles with a 4.7L or 5.7L V8 engine, the Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P2181 for a cooling system performance fault. Or technicians tell us that updated software for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available to correct this concern.
Rough Idle After Cold Start With Code P050D or Unrelated Code P2610
The engine may develop a rough idle after cold start with the Check Engine Light illuminated and code P050D. Additionally, code P2610 may be stored with no other symptoms. Our technicians tell us a powertrain control module (PCM) software upgrade is available to correct these concerns.
Spark Knock, Noise/Vibration/Harshness, and/or Check Engine Light Issues
Spark knock, noise/vibration/harshness, and/or Check Engine Light issues may develop. Our technicians tell us powertrain control module (PCM) software upgrades may correct these concerns.
