DaimlerChrysler has recalled over 100,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs due to the potential for the vehicles to develop serious engine fires, resulting in accident, injury, or even death. The recall affects 2005 models with 3.7-liter engines and automatic transmissions.
The recall is due to a faulty air conditioning system that can cause fluid to leak into the engine part that stores transmission fluid. The mixtures of the fluid can become heated quickly. When this area over-heats, the transmission can expel fluid onto other parts of the engine. When this hot fluid comes in contact with an already heated exhaust system, an engine fire could occur.
Four reports of serious engine fires have already occurred. The motor company says that if a driver experiences a shaking sensation in the car they should bring it to a dealer immediately.
