Went to dealership today because check engine light on. No warranty. Told me they need to replace the shift module. Only problem that concerns me is that 2 years and only 15,000 miles ago had the shifter replaced. They say it's not the same thing, which I know but shouldn't it have been fixed the first time and it's not covered anyways because it's passed 12 months since the replacement. Is this accurate or could it be covered somehow by their mistake?

no it did not need to be replaces when your shifter was repair they are not connected other than they are part of the shift system

is it shifting funny or just the light is on
if its the light its more likely the NSS

Yes it was not really shifting on the highway and all the lights on the dashboard lite up when I was driving i.e. P R N D. It was definitely acting funny. I was just wondering if I should call Jeep customer service. I just don't want to pay for something they should have caught the first time.
Thank you for your response!! I really appreciate it!!

Shift noids??

You said highway. What does it do? Will it not go into over drive?

mike37

you can un plug the shift module and it will shift right without it

Info on your Jeep would be helpful.

It drives okay....but when I'm driving and going about 70mph it doesn't seem to shift into the next gear. The dealership is fixing it but I was wondering if somehow it was suppose to be fixed back 2 years when I had the shifter replaced.

I hope you aren't getting charged to much cus all it is is unplugging the old one and plugging the new one in

For the tcu, correct?

KrisW154

Oh just about $700 & another $200 to restart the computer. It's all B.S. I'm sure. Let's just say it's been an experience.

Not sure what the tcu is?

I just feel like I'm getting played, big time!!

go get it and tell them to F off
replace it your self for 50 bucks or less

what year Cherokee do you have

KrisW154

I don't know how to fix it come on!! I would like to tell them to eff off big time. It's a 2005 with just over 50,000 miles. This should not be happening!! B@stards!!

You can still get an extended warranty on that. My '04 still has the warranty on it.

mike37

you are a grand Cherokee
you may be Little different

but its just under the dash you get a junk yard replacement unplug it and plug the new one in

you my want to check the GC sections

KrisW154

Oh good idea! I'll have to do that- didn't realize I was in just the cherokee section. Thanks everyone for the help!!
