Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee start hard?
It first happened to my wife and, after making sure she was applying the brake and that the transmission was in park, it finally started after several attempts. For two weeks after that it started as normal but then it happened to me. Since that time it has been starting as usual.
How can I Stop my Jeep Grand Cherokee from starting?
If I get the chug, chug, chug …. you can stop it by shifting to drive – instantly kills it. I found that by opening my door, hitting the start button (no foot on brake) a few times to cycle thru acc, and run …. to totally off. After totally off – a try to restart it usually works about 99% of the time.
