Some Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report experiencing issues such as being stuck in 4th gear, along with the check engine light illuminating and heavy performance problems after changing the transmission solenoid pack. These issues may stem from a malfunctioning transmission control solenoid, which can cause the vehicle to remain in a specific gear. Additionally, electrical faults, including problems with the shift solenoid, could be contributing to these transmission difficulties. Worn valves or other internal components might also play a role in the failure of the shift solenoid. Owners should verify that the transmission solenoid pack was installed correctly and that all connections are secure to eliminate potential installation errors. If the check engine light persists after the solenoid pack replacement, it may indicate the presence of additional diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that need to be addressed. Consulting with a qualified mechanic or a Jeep dealership is advisable to diagnose and resolve these issues effectively.
