2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Electrical System Problems

The air bag light comes on every now and then. It happened in my previous jeep and is happening in my dad's Chrysler Sebring car as well. I seen this problem with the airbag automatic deactivation when the warning light comes on in different vehicles but all from Chrysler motors.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while attempting to shut-off the vehicle, the vehicle remained on when the key was removed from the ignition. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and told the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 227,000.

Mileage: 227,000

REFERENCE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V200000 WHILE DRIVING, IF THE VEHICLE GOES OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE KEY FOB MAY FALL OUT OF THE IGNITION MODULE. WHILE STATIONARY, THE KEY MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH (WIN MODULE) PRIOR TO PLACING THE SHIFTER IN PARK. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Mileage: 150,000

IGNITION MODULE. KEY COMES OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON WHILE STOPPED OR IN MOTION. LIGHTS ARE NOT COMING ON THE PANEL, TURN SIGNAL NOT WORKING, IF THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER ARE WORKING THE LIGHTS GO OFF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF THEY ARE OFF THE INTERNAL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHILE DRIVING AND UNSURE IF OTHER CARS CAN SEE ACTIONS OF DRIVER.

Mileage: 108,000

WHEN JEEP IS STARTED AFTER BEING PARKED. WONT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN AFTER KEY IS REMOVED. ALL OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS TURN OFF EXCEPT FOR ENGINE. SAFETY RELEASE BUTTON WAS PUSHED TO GET JEEP OUT OF GEAR, BUT WHEN PUT BACK IN PARK, IT GETS STUCK AGAIN. IS THERE A RECALL ON IGNITION SWITCH OR MODULE SWITCH THATS CAUSING THIS?

IT STARTED OVER BUMP IN THE ROAD THEN BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN NOT STOPPING CORRECTLY NOW IT LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME WHILE IN MOTION OR AT A HALT. TURNING KEY IN IGNITION CAUSES A STALL LIKE CHOCKING SOUND AND DOES NOT TURN ON THE CAR. NEED TO REPEAT THIS STEP A FEW TIMES BEFORE VEHICLE TURNS ON WHILE AT A STAND STILL.

Mileage: 101

WHILE DRIVING MY TURN SIGNAL IS SHORTING OUT, SOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND NOT MOVING, DRAINED BATTERY, AND WINDOW CONTROL ON THE DRIVERS PANEL THAT CONTROLS PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK.

CONSTANT RUMBLE IN REAR END OF VEHICLE. DEALER HAS HAD 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND CAN'T RESOLVE. FEELS LIKE REST WHEELS WILL FALL OFF. ALSO, INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING IGNITION SWITCH, VEHICLE WON'T START. AFTER 2-3 TIMES IT WILL THEN START. HAD A 2005 KEEP CHEROKEE THAT DID THE SAME UNRESOLVED ISSUE.

Mileage: 87,000

THE VEHICLE WILL START ON IT'S OWN. YOU TURN IT OFF AND IT WILL RESTART WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT. THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN OR OUT OF THE CAR. THE FOB WILL NOT OPEN THE LOCKS OR THEY JUMP BETWEEN LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BY THEMSELVES. THE WINDOWS WILL OPEN ON THEIR OWN ESPECIALLY THE LIFT WINDOW IN THE BACK WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING STILL. THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF WITHOUT A REASON.IT WILL START ON IT'S OWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR IN A PARKING LOT. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER I AM THERE OR NOT .DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN NOT GET IT TO DO THESE THINGS.IT BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JUNE AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEN.

Mileage: 43,500

I REMOVED THE KEY FOBIK BEFORE JEEP WAS PUT IN PARK AND ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. DISCOVERED AT SLOW SPEED IN PARKING LOT. THERE WAS A RECALL BY CHRYSLER/FCA SAFETY RECALL K08 ' WIRELESS IGNITION NODE RECEIVER BUT FCA CLAIMS MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THIS JEEP IS EXPERIENCING. RECALL STATES "THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON INTEGRATED KEY (FOBIK) MAY BE REMOVED PRIOR TO PLACING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER IN THE 'PARK' POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." FCA ALSO SAYS "RECALLS ARE VIN RELATED, WHERE MANUFACTURED AND WHEN MANUFACTURED. RECALL K08 DOES NOT INVOLVE YOUR VEHICLE" THIS VEHICLE CAN BE IN GEAR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE KEY REMOVED RESULTING IN UNATTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT. VERY UNSAFE

Mileage: 125,000

AT ANY RANDOM TIME MY 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WILL NOT START. THE BATTERY IS NEW. LIGHTS COME ON, RADIO COMES ON, LIGHTS DO NOT DIM, BUT JEEP WILL NOT START. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF WAITING AND TRYING AGAIN IT STARTS UP FINE. HAD IT CHECKED , ISSUE COULDN'T BE FOUND. HAPPENED AGAIN AND WAS STRANDED IN THE SNOW , MORE THAN ONCE. ISSUE STILL HAPPENS AND IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. SO MUCH SO I CANNOT COUNT ON THAT VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE WILL START INTERMITTENTLY GETTING WORSE, I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE STARTER. MY CAR WILL TURN OVER ON IT'S OWN IF I LEAVE MY KEY IN THE START POSITION TO HAVE THE RADIO ON WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE KEY OR CRANKING IT OVER. THE VEHICLE ALSO KNOCKED ITS SELF OUT OF PARK AND HIT INTO A BUILDING. I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE MY PURCHASE BACK IN 2016 AND I'VE HAD NO ANSWERS TO WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE.

OUR 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF IN MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE MAY 2017. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED WE GO DIRECTLY TO THE DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP. NOBODY CAN FIND WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT SAY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT VARYING SPEEDS, INCLUDING SITTING STILL IDLING, TRAVELING 25 MPH ON MUNICIPAL ROAD, 60+MPH ON HWY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS OFF LEAVING US UNABLE TO STEER, LOSS OF BREAKS, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF POWER TO THE WHOLE JEEP, ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY. STALLING IN MOVING TRAFFIC WHEN YOU DON'T EXPECT IT HAS INHERENT RISK AND THE LOSS OF POWER SYSTEMS LIKE BRAKES AND STEERING THAT ACCOMPANIES A VEHICLE STALL MAKES GETTING OUT OF THE WAY DIFFICULT. LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR USE POWER STEERING. WE'VE HAD TO RUN THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC INTO A FARM PASTURE IN ORDER TO GET TO SAFETY. THE JEEP HAS LOST POWER ON THE HWY TRAVELING 60+MPH AND HAD TO VEER OFF IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE JEEP AND GET TO SAFETY. THIS IS OUR MAIN CAR TO TAKE MY WIFE TO WORK AND OUR DAUGHTER TO AND FROM SCHOOL. WE'VE HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY DUE TO LIFE SAFETY CONCERNS. MY LOCAL DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THIS POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER.

WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED THE VEHICLE BATTERY AT A COST OF $225.00.
