I have a friend with an 08 that is having a problem. She said that the traction control is on and will only allow her to go about 30 MPH tops but the button for the traction control shows that it is off. Is anyone aware of this issue? Is it an easy fix? Would the dealership cover it? I am not sure if any warranty is on the vehicle or the exact year, manual or auto, things like that. If it matters I can find these things out. Anyone got anything on this?

Sounds like it could be in "limp" mode.(if not in low range)

A similar thing happened to my father last week with his '06 Grand Cherokee. It turned out his was in "Limp In" mode (that's what the dealership told him it was called). His was a transmission issue but either way she should probably get it to a dealership ASAP if it's not in 4 low as others have suggested. He was told by the dealership that Limp In/Home only works for a certain amount of miles (can't remember how much) before the whole thing shuts down to prevent total destruction.

If it's an '08 it probably won't be under warranty anymore unless she got en extended full or powertrain warranty when she purchased it.

Good Luck

Dez
