Problem overview

Some Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report experiencing the check engine light illumination due to common issues such as a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, which can negatively affect engine performance. Others have noted that a loose or damaged gas cap may lead to fuel evaporation, while some face problems with a faulty catalytic converter impacting emissions.
