2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4dr SUV
305-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range
| 104000 mi | Mandatory safety recall (software flash) of emergency brake had rendered the 4wd low to become inoperative. There are tons of online complaints about this. Jeep finally came out with an optional flash of their software that fixed it. If facing this google it thoroughly and bring supporting documentation. The dealer acted as if I didn't know what I was talking about and "never heard of it" despite the TSBs I brought. Luckily, the tech actually looked through the docs and performed the flash successfully in about 10 mins. And behold - the 4wd which hadn't worked for a year suddenly worked again. |
