2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems

Two similar incidents to report during week of Dec 15th 2025 on surface streets: Was driving 25 mph when 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee just came to a complete stop -- without any warning signs of a problem. Vehicle stalled with no engine power and loss of power steering. I could not steer the vehicle to the side of the road. Was just stuck. The emergency lights did work. I put the vehicle in park and restarted the engine after about 30 seconds. The vehicle drove normally therafter. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IS IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC. This same stalling of the vehicle with no power or steering ability has happened 2 other times before earlier in 2025. The Dealer insists there is no recall, but this looks like the same problem that this Jeep had in 2019 when the dealer replace the fuel pump relay as part of a previous recall. Obviously that recall was not effective.

The cuts off in the Middle of the street in front of a school .The vehicle will not start up.I try to Crank it on vehicle make a loud screeching sound like metal to metal .Dash lights 4wd pop on then a lightning symbol came on.The vehicle wont change gears steering wheel lock ,wheels lock ,The front left turning signal does not work all the other lights do.My wife and I avoided a collision when the vehicle shut off while driving .Thank God no one were hurt.Bought this vehicle in October 2025.

When driving the vehicle it just stalls. No warning and all power is lost including power steering which makes it VERY dangerous to all occupants of the vehicle and others on the road.

Year: 2012 Make/Model: Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 L V8, 4WD Mileage: ~140,000 miles Date of Incident: [Insert date] Location: McKinney, Texas (near U.S. 75 exit) Description of the Safety Issue: While driving normally, the Service 4WD System warning illuminated. Seconds later, the lightning-bolt symbol (Electronic Throttle Control) appeared, and the engine stalled abruptly without warning. All power steering and power-brake assist were lost while the transmission was still in Drive. The vehicle rolled backward on a slight grade as if in neutral. Attempts to restart the vehicle failed. Even CarMax technicians, at whose lot the vehicle came to rest, were unable to start it. A strong hot/burning electrical odor was present immediately after shutdown. This indicates a possible overheating or shorting event in the electrical or fuel-relay system (TIPM or throttle-body circuit). Had this failure occurred on U.S. 75 at highway speed (80–85 mph), I would have lost steering assist and braking ability in heavy traffic — a situation that could have led to a severe collision or injury. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this case as a potential recurrence or expansion of the existing recall group. The combination of a sudden stall, complete loss of control systems, no-restart condition, and electrical-burn odor constitutes a serious and ongoing safety defect that endangers vehicle occupants and others on the roadway. Supporting Information: – CarMax technicians confirmed the vehicle would not restart. – Recent maintenance included new fuel pump, injectors, hoses, and cooling-system components (~$10 K). – Warning lights: “Service 4WD System” and “Electronic Throttle Control (lightning-bolt)” appeared immediately before stall.

In August 2025 my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo lost engine power and stalled while driving 15 mph. There was no warning. I was able to restart the car and drive. Then while driving in traffic at 45 mph on 18 Oct 2025, my Jeep abruptly lost engine power and stopped, putting my safety and the safety of my passenger at great risk as I had several cars behind me. Again, the Jeep stalled without warning. I was able to put my emergency warning lights on, then after 30 seconds, I put the car in park and restarted the engine with no problem. The Jeep drove normally. This unexpected loss of power while driving at speed in traffic on Hwy 431 could have been catastrophic. This incident appears to be linked to two previous Fuel Pump Relay recalls, the most recent being V62/NHTSA 19V-813. My Jeep was repaired by the Jeep dealer under both of these recalls which were prompted by no-start conditions and ENGINE STALL CONDITIONS. It appears the FCA repair has been ineffective as my Jeep has experienced two engine stalls while driving and does have intermittant problems with start up. This most recent problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer as the Jeep Dealer cannot see my vehicle for another 2 weeks, which puts my safety at risk. There were no warning lamps or messages before the abrupt engine stalls while driving. However, for the past 6 months, I had had intermittant instances of the car not starting immediately, particularly in the morning. I would turn the key fob a few times before my Jeep would start. But it always started.

The car cuts off in middle of the road n won’t shut on brought a new fuel pump and it’s still shutting off the electric light pops up on dash when cutting the engine on the car gives the cranking engine power sounds but doesn’t cut on mechanic put in new fuel pump and now think it’s a electrical problem the steering is tight backing up and it has steering fluid this has been happening since 3 months ago I wanna say it comes n goes I’ve got it inspected twice and they inquired about the fuel pump which I have gotten fixed and the car still continues to shut off in the middle of traffic which can cause an accident

Alternator causing engine stall also electrical issues

While driving the engine power randomly cuts off & steering & brakes lock up veering the vehicle to the left which causes me to have no control of my vehicle. Everything else stays on radio...lights...etc. There is absolutely no warning at all when this occurs. This has happened to me 3 times while driving almost causing me to crash. I brought it to a local Jeep dealer & they couldn't find any codes showing what the issue was. So in fear of getting into a crash that could possibly injure myself or others on the road I haven't been able to drive it safely.

My car apparently overheated which made my oil filter melt and explode, popping my oil filter cap off making oil go all over my engine, ground and everywhere else. I was going about 20 mph when I realized my car was feeling weak on power and it was about to overheat. I then started to smell and see smoke. So I stopped my car in the middle of the street immediately, put on my hazard lights, and turned it off instantly. As soon as I got out, oil started to pour out everywhere. I then popped the hood to see a whole lot of smoke going everywhere. I wasn’t sure what happened, I just got the car 3 and half months ago, they said the car was top of the line, why am I having issues like these now? I did get my oil changed from pit stop (superlube) on lake street in Aurora Illinois, 3 days before that happened. I had to manually push my car to chihuahua tires, where they told me it was my starter, so they fixed my starter, and then told me it’s my gasket. Now apparently my head gasket is gone, and it’s going to take thousands of dollars that I don’t have. I’m already paying off the $800 for this starter repair that I didn’t really need :/ and I’m still playing for a car note on a car I’m not even driving! I can’t get to work, I can’t make money, this is depressing! I got this car because they said at Carfect that my jeep was perfect and in great condition. At this point I had over 10+ mechanical issues wrong with it, now this happened and I cant manage this. This is too much money for me. I need help, direction, a new engine, something! I just got this car! I did nothing wrong, I don’t have thousands of dollars to fix this issue! Please help.

I have 2 issues with this vehicle issue#1 the tire pressure sensor acts up on the front driver side tire pressure goes down to the low 20s then when driving it goes up to 43 and then back down to the 20s , the other is that I was driving from Pennsylvania to New York and the car stalled in New Jersey with no warning I was at the far left side of the highway and came close to getting rear ended twice real bad (my girlfriend who was and is pregnant) was on the passenger seat was hysterically crying because of how close we came to having an accident that would’ve cost us our lives , the car took 5 minutes to start again and we were escorted to safety by tow company that saw us through the cameras they have on the bridges very thankful to them escorting us cause we surely would have died that night

While driving the road whether highway our town… my vehicle will stall out. I can’t safely pass because my car loses power.. check engine light starts blinking then traction control lights come on and then battery light. I have to turn the car off after turning flashers on put it in park and restart after a few seconds. This vehicle is VERY UNSAFE to DRIVE.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI. As traveling whether on highway or on streets no matter the speeds the Jeep tends to just stall out out of no where especially when braking and coming to a stop it completely shuts off, no engine, no steering and then must have to engage into park or neutral to push to start up the Jeep again. It is very dangerous and scary any time it happens and even more so when happens on highway. It has been an on going issue since I bought the vehicle in NOV. 2018 but only happens every once in a while and out of the blue when it does. I did reached out several years ago to the manufacturer Mopar Jeep Chrysler but they had no solution for me. I had a case number with them but it was so long ago I cannot remember now. I did have the recall on the fuel pump relay in which I thought that would resolve my issue but unfortunately it did not and I still experience this Jeep stalling out at any point while driving, onto braking, and then to the stop. Any help? Thanks

While driving at normal speeds the engine and everything turns off without any warning. This makes it difficult to get off the road or highway due to loss of power to steering. This happens randomly but with increasing frequency. The vehicle has been at the Jeep dealership since 12 June 2025 and I'm being told they cannot figure it out. Allegedly the dealership service center is contacting Jeep after I had to tell them to do so. Vehicle is at Crown Dodge, 6300 King Rd, Ventura, CA 93033 805-977-6526.

While stopped at a stop light 5 separate occasions in Eco mode. Vehicle shut off but would not restart unless I pressed the on/off button. I did not realize that it had happened and was almost rear ended because of it.

So I just bought this car from a dealer about a year now and I was driving down the fwy. Heading to work And suddenly my car turned off and my steering wheel got really hard to make any turns there was no way I could’ve stopped in the middle of the fwy. To stop and start the engine. luckily I was able to pull over and check the car I was full on gas and I looked up common issues that could turn off a running engine checked all fuses didn’t see any problems with it didn’t see any sort of corrosion in the battery cables and their was no check engine on the dash board. Theirs also been times were it randomly takes a long time cranking and won’t start right away so I literally wait for the engine to sit for a while and start the car. My guess it’s the crankshaft position or the fuel pump going out but that’s why I’m here to find out if theirs any recalls related to this issue. I’ve been told their was a recall for a relay issue

Vehicle was purchased 8/11/23 had it less then two weeks broke down . Was smoking , was put in shop several times . Told it was battery, then alternator. Gotten out of shop a few days later same issue . Had extended warranty , was stuck paying deductible twice even though it was in the shop for same thing . Deductible $200 twice I had to pay . Come to find out the engine had gone bad , they replaced that if I’m not mistaken . Vehicle was in shop almost a month after we had gotten no results from the original dealership service center where we purchased the vehicle. They did not have the proper tools to repair the vehicle, ended up taking the vehicle to a dodge dealership locally . After driving the car a couple months later it started smoking and jerking again would stop and would not crank . Was taken to the dealership again , told this time it was the transmission and extended warranty would not cover it . We were sold a LEMON. Dealership knew exactly what was wrong with this they wanted to get it off their hands . This is something they know from from the start , unsafe to drive keeps smoking . We need answers fast someone is liable for the damage car they sold my son and I.

While driving through the intersection after slowing down at light, vehicle completely stalled, turned off in the middle of the intersection and wouldn't start back up. I had to have it towed to dealership. I have had it in dealer prior to this incident for stalling issues just out of nowhere. They simply said they cannot find a cause. This is dangerous to me because vehicles behind me don't know that I am stalled out and almost hit me. Prior to this last time, I have been able to restart vehicle by putting in neutral and getting it to move on it's way, but still scary while vehicles behind me don't know that I was going to stall out. This last incident, I had to be pushed off of the road and then towed to dealer. Hoping they can find the cause and fix.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the dashboard was wrinkled. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

Mileage: 68,000

The camshaft has gone bad and unnatural wear to the lifters has caused the issue. Also, after researching the design of the engine, it is obvious that there is a design flaw. The camshaft does not receive sufficient oil in order to be lubricated due to its location in the engine. The vehicle only has 114,000 miles. It has been taken care of, and received the normal maintenance according to the owners manual. This particular version of the hemi engine has such failures well documented by multiple sources. Such an issue and malfunction attributes to premature engine failure. Such a significant engine design flaw can potentially cause injury to all occupants in the vehicle.

I just recently purchased this used 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The problem I am experience, while driving at 74 mph the engine just shuts off. The vehicle would not restart for about 15 minutes. This has happened at least daily. The mechanic shop has checked the engine completely over. However they are stumped, The shop was able to repeat the problem but there are no codes. I know there was a recall on the fuel pump relay and then another on the relay. My mechanic has replaced the fuel pump relay but it still happens. I was reading in numerous blogs of this issue happening to many people. This past saturday night I was coming home from my second job when the car stalled out in the construction zone of 696 in Detroit, I can't tell you how many cars came close to killing me. This problem needs to be fixed by Jeep but there seems to be no movement, I'd hate to see people killed over this KNOWN issue. I know last Saturday night was the most fearful night of my life.

Was stopped at light and 2012 Jeep Cherokee lost all power and engine stalled. Lost lights, radio, heat and engine. It did restart after a minut or two. A week later, while driving, car began lagging/running rough. I felt I could not drive faster than 25 mph. Drove to Jeep dealer. Dealer is telling me it will cost more than $1500 to fix. I suspect this is a problem with the fuel pump relay....

After getting my car back from big o doge in Greenville sc I was on my way to work and stopped at a redlight when the light turned green my car just sat there and didn’t move I pressed the gas but nothing it just revved up like it was in neutral pressed the gas to the floor nothing all of a sudden it was like it jumped and took off…also did the same thing at a stop sign up hill and I had a car coming in the other lane as I was crossing the lane to get into the correct one….I had open recalls and set up for it to be checked when I arrived at the delarship they told me my recalls were closed. My car was not checked or repaired at the time how can you just cancel a recall/campaign after notification and claim parts aren’t available but the car was never fixed? I called the delarship paid 400 for 2 diagnostics and they didn’t put my trans cap back on so now they’ve basically ruined my car and didn’t fix NOTHING

Oil pressure sensor code P0522. The engine oil pressure sensor fails before and after oil changes. This causes the oil temperature to sporadically increase and decrease psi drastically from 20 to 110 psi and vice versa. This has been confirmed with multiple OBD2 sensors along with the check engine light constantly on.

The contact owned a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she noticed a fuel odor throughout the vehicle. The contact then stated that the hood of the vehicle started to catch fire. The contact was able to navigate the vehicle off the road. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The fire department was notified, and the fire was extinguished. A fire report was filed. The contact suffered an asthma attack that required medical attention. The dealer was notified of the failure and the vehicle was towed by the dealer to a tow lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unavailable.

I had purchased my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 hemi in June 2019. Shortly thereafter, I was driving on the highway when the vehicle stalled out and the wheel became very hard to control. I managed to avoid causing a major accident and made it to the side of the highway where I then sat for over 4 hours stranded. After trying to start my Jeep it just started up out of the blue and I drove home. I was nervous to drive it but I had no other mode of transportation. Over the next few months it would increasingly stall out. Sometimes in mid turn , sometimes on the expressway and sometimes just not start at all. A recall came out and I was able to have the truck " repaired ". Not even a month later it started to do the same thing. Stalling in mid drive. not starting at all or starting in Neutral only. I took it to a different dealership and paid over 300$ for them to do a diagnosis. Their diagnosis consisted of a " walk around " and taking a video of the vehicle. What a waste of money. As I was going to leave the dealership the vehicle wouldn't start. Then after an hour it suddenly started. I had advised service about it and they said that I can leave the vehicle and have them look at it when they had time which they said would be 4 days from then. I said you just looked at it and did nothing and I had to pay 300$ for nothing to be diagnosed. I was able to get the car home and then the car didnt start for a week then started .. would drive it then stalled and have to have it towed home a couple of times. Now the truck has been sitting in my driveway not able to start at all. The fuel pump relay was supposed to be replaced by two recalls I believe. Nothing was fixed and infact it only had made it worse probably causing damage to the rest of my vehicle. I am lucky I didnt crash, or even kill someone because of this. It is extremely dangerous and to not have the part fixed correctly nor even remedied with a replacement of the TIPM is unbelievable.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had an emissions test scheduled and failed due to the check engine warning light. The contact stated that the vehicle engine was idling roughly. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the number two cylinder had been misfiring and needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic referred the contact to a dealer where she had been advised that there had been a manufacturer recall associated with the VIN, however, the recall warranty had expired. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The contact stated that they were never notified of the extended warranty for the vehicle.

Mileage: 50,000

Vehicle stalled without warning. No power whatsoever. Illuminated battery light came on. Noticed a burning odor coming from vehicle. Checked engine bay and noticed heavy smoke coming from alternator for a good 10 minutes. Vehicle would not take a jump nor could I put into gear. Battery is completely dead. PCM also seems to be fried. Will have to be towed to Dealership. Called Jeep costumer care and referenced the t36 recall but my vin does not fall under it even though vehicle fits EXACT description of recall. Also noticed that many others are have same problem with Jeep and them not expanding the recall to their vin. How terrible!! This could have easily been a fatal situation. Jeep needs to take some responsibility and action!

car shuts off while driving 2times in 3 weeks

I have an on going issue with the vehicle stalling while slowing down for intersections, roundabouts and exit ramps. This has been happening since 2018. The vehicle traveling around 35-25 decelerating, the RPMs will just drop to zero and the engine will shut off. No warning lights, codes or indication I have lost power. Latest incident was on 1/14/22 in Mukwonago, WI after have only driven the vehicle for about 10 minutes. Coming from a 55 zone donw to a stop at an intersection the vehicle stalled with no warning around 30-25 MPH. 1/16/22 I was entering a roundabout and saw the RPMs dropping below idle to zero and was able to stop the stall by shifting the transmission into neutral. RPMs immediately went back to idle.

I did the fuel pump relay recall and the problem that it was supposed to fix isn’t fixed.I’ll be driving along and the jeep will stall as I’m driving when turning off the highway and exit ,the power steering and power brakes cut out I pull over put the jeep in park and it starts right up.Then it’s ok for a couple of weeks and it happens again no engine light or close faults . Jeep needs to correct this problem as it is very dangerous

The recall is V62 but after the recall was preformed the vehicle is doing the exact same thing. While slowing down and braking the vehicle will stall without warning, with the vehicle not running the steering and braking systems are disabled which makes getting out of danger impossible. The vehicle needs to come to a complete stop, be put in park, then be restarted. This will be the third time this happened. I had the recall done then I had to pay the second time to get it fixed and now I need to bring the vehicle back to the dealership for the same issue. Chrysler will take no responsibility for the issue.

My 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 5.7 hemi has had all recalls and the one for fuel pump relay V62/NHTSA 19V-813 completed Aug 2021. It is still shutting off while driving with no warning. This has occurred 3 times since August with the most recent being on Dec 26th 2021 in Leesburg Va. Stalls while driving causing the power steering to not function as well as the brakes. This engine power turns off randomly at around 10-15 mph (when making turns, stopping and/or decelerating) but there are no warning lights that appear on the dash. All electrical power to the car still functions and the engine stall is not noticeable until applying pressure to the brakes or trying to steer the wheels. Once i get the vehicle manually stopped and put the gear shift in Park, hit the start button, the vehicle starts up every time and will run for weeks or months before it happens again. Very dangerous. This recall needs to be reconsidered as this did not solve the issue. Matter of time before it is involved in a crash.. Taking to dealership tomorrow 27th or 28th.

I went to the dealership and was informed the fuel pump relay recall is not available. My Jeep Has been misfiring, stalling, vibrating, and I am smelling gas fumes when I drive.

Purchased this vehicle used 11/13/2019 and was advised of a fuel pump relay recall (V62). It's now Sept 8th 2021 and I've still not been advised by my dealer that parts are available. They claim that they're only able to order one recall kit/week.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. Additionally, the vehicle failed to start-up on several occasions. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19V813000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the TIPM needed to be replaced. The contact called the local dealer who stated that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Mileage: 77,000

I purchased my vehicle Aug., 16, 2018. While driving the vehicle will shut off and loss of all power occurs. It is extremely frightening and dangerous. I know there has been a recall for this issue and when I look up my vehicle under recalls it is showing that all recalls have been taken care of. The dealership has never solved the issue I have and it continues to happen. What do I do in a situation like this? This has been going on since I purchased the vehicle several times on several different occasions. After looking up the carfax report I've realized this vehicle has had a problem with shutting off while driving since it was new.

Lifter & camshaft failed while driving on the highway The engine response failed while driving & just about caused an a car pile up on the highway, all while dumping fuel out of exhaust! The dealer knows about the the flaw with the 100,000+ with the same issue, will not fix it unless owner pays over 4K+ & will not address the extremely hazardous issue. The independent Service place says it’s a flaw from the production & that Jeep knows but won’t resolve it, unless owner pays.

Engine stalls without warning causing full loss of power, including power steering and ability to brake properly... ends in engine failure as well. This has resulted in MULTIPLE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AND LATELY IT CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CURB AND DAMAGED FRONT RIGHT WHEEL.. WILL IT BE ANOTHER CAR AND A CRASH NEXT TIME!???

UNKNOWN: Fact: My 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland fuel pump relay can fail while driving and cause a vehicle crash without warning. This information was provided in December, 2019, in a letter/notice from FCA. The recall number is V62/NHTSA 19V-813. Replacements for this Fuel Pump Relay are being supplied to Dealerships at the rate of 1 per week. This is unnacceptable and is forcing owners of these vehicles to put their families at risk. I cancelled my, and my family's vacation because my dealership is unable to provide a fix for this fuel pump relay, actually the SECOND fix. The first was R09/NHTSA 14V- 115.

My Jeep has shut off / stalled on me twice now since I have purchased it last month. This is an absolute random issue, and happens while driving. The engine will shut off with no warning, and you loose power steering and power brakes. Very scary, and a very serious and deadly condition. Jeep and Chrysler are no help. Was at the dealership for three days, and they said they can’t find the issue, and gave it back to me. Pathetic!

RECEIVED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) P006D WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. CAUSE WAS A FAULTY OEM FILTER HOUSING W/ COOLER 636463. SAFETY RISK IS WHILE THIS ERROR WAS ACTIVATED NO OTHER ENGINE PROBLEM WOULD BE REPORTED TO THE DRIVER. REPLACEMENT COST $953.76. SERVICE STATION STATED MANY OF THESE FAILURES ARE BEING REPORTED AT THIS TIME. CURRENTLY JEEP DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS FAILURE.

Mileage: 127,000

THE V62 RECALL DID NOT WORK FOR MY JEEP. IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 3 MOS (DIDN'T STALL WHILE DRIVING) AND THEN IT STALLED EXITING THE HIGHWAY. IN THE PAST YEAR I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, MULTIPLE 'FIXES' FOR THIS RECALL AND IT STILL STALLS.

Mileage: 112,000

ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON BLINKS AND CAR STARTS TO SHAKE HAD DEALER LOOK INTO ENGINE. THEY STATED THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I OWNED THE JEEP. THE CAR CAN STALL AT ANY MINUTE AND JUST SHUTOFF. DRIVING ON CITY STREETS ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS FOR A FEW MINUTES THE GOES SOLID FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES OFF ONLY TO RESTART THE PROCESS CAR ALWAYS SHAKES AND MAKES NOISES.

Mileage: 164,765

DESPITE RECALL V62 BEING 'FIXED' BY JEEP DEALERSHIP, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE IN MOTION. OFTEN TIMES WHILE TURNING EITHER ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY. AFTER MULTIPLE STALLS I STARTED KEEPING A LOG OF WHEN AND WHERE THEY OCCUR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED FOR SOME SCARY SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY AND APPROACHING INTERSECTIONS. THE RECALL FUEL PUMP RELAY FIX HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 100,000

MY JEEP HAS BEEN STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN TRYING TO START IT. ONE NIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE FUEL RELAY ON IT, HOWEVER I JUST BROUGHT IT BACK 2 DAYS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN, HOWEVER WHEN PICKING IT UP IT STALLED AGAIN.

Mileage: 145,000

I TOOK MY JEEP TO HAVE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND ALTERNATOR RECALLS SERVICED AT NAPLETON JEEP IN KISSIMMEE FL AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN A FEW DAYS AFTER BEING SERVICED, HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHARGED ME $189 TO SAY IT WAS THE STARTER THAT WAS BAD AND QUOTED ME $800, I FELT PUT OFF AND GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A DIFF PRIVATE OWNED SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION, THE MECHANIC DID A FULL DIAGNOSIS AND PROVIDED PROOF THAT THE STARTER IS GOOD AND ITS THE ALTERNATOR, STATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP NOT ONLY INSTALLED IMPROPERLY BUT THAT THE PART IS FAULTY,. GROUND WIRE WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE AND THEREFORE IT COULDN'T BE STARTED ALTERNATOR CHARGE WIRE INSTALLED IN AN INCORRECT POSITION AND TUGGING ON HARNESS AND PROTECTIVE COVER CAN'T BE PLACED OVER POWER WIRE ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING AND GETTING EXTREMELY HOT, ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER, OSCAR, WHO TOLD ME HE WOULD NOT ONLY NOT REFUND ANY MONEY FOR THE MIS DIAGNOSIS BUT HE WOULD ALSO CHARGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER REPAIRS EVEN THO THE PART THAT WAS INSTALLED TWO WEEKS AGO IS THE ONE THAT HAS AND ISSUE AND SHOULD ONE STILL UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY. THEN I WAS HARASSED BY SERVICE MANAGER WHO THREATENED VIOLENCE ON MY FAMILY OVER THE PHONE. THE JEEP NOW EVEN ONCE REPAIRED COULD HAVE SO MANY ISSUES ARISE AS WELL BECAUSE OF THE NEGLIGENCE THIS DEALERSHIP HAS SHOWN, THE HAVE UNDERQUALIFIED AND UNSUPERVISED TECHNICIANS DOING JOBS THEY ARE NOT READY TO BE DOING ALONE. NOW I WORRY FOR MY SAFETY AND LONGEVITY OF MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO LEFT THE CAR RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME THEY HAD IT. SO MY BATTERY WAS SHOT AND IT IS BRAND NEW. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTS AS WELL JUST YOUR WEBSITE ISN'T ALLOWING TO UPLOAD THEM ALL SO I INCLUDED A PHOTO TO SHOW HOW NEGLIGENT THIS DEALERSHIP WAS.

THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED SUNDAY 11/29/20. PRIOR TO THIS, THE EVENT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 OTHER TIMES. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 55-70 AND SLOWLY COMING DOWN TO A STOP ON A RAMP OR TURNING THE VEHICLE WHILE DECREASING SPEED, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING. NO VISUAL OR AUDITORY WARNINGS HAPPEN, YOU'RE ONLY AWARE WHEN YOU FEEL THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE AWAY, AND THE TACHOMETER READS ZERO RPM. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF AND STOP IN EACH EVENT, THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE CYCLED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THIS EVENT COULD HAPPEN INTO LEFT TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HARMS WAY.

Mileage: 154,000

THIS VEHICLE HAS ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS JUST SIMPLY STOPPED RUNNING. TO BE CLEAR, EACH TIME I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING SOMEWHERE AND THE ENGINE WOULD JUST STOP. EACH TIME, I WAS DRIVING SOMEWHERE LOCALLY AND ON CITY STREETS. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THIS HAPPENED, I WAS EITHER STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, OR STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, AT WHICH, I EITHER "FELT" THE ENGINE STOP, OR I REALIZED IT WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED AFTER THE STOP AND GOT NO REACTION FROM THE CAR WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND TRIED TO PROCEED ON MY WAY. THESE TIMES, I SIMPLY TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. I DON'T REMEMBER AND DIDN'T TAKE NOTE OF WHETHER ALL ELECTRICAL HAD TURNED OFF OR NOT. BUT THE MOST RECENT TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS VERY CONCERNING. IT WAS JULY 10TH, APPROXIMATELY 11PM, AND I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL BOULEVARD AT APPROXIMATELY 40-45MPH WHEN, AGAIN, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. THIS OF COURSE, DISABLED POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. HEADLIGHTS AND RADIO CONTINUED TO WORK. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND TURN ON MY HAZARDS. I THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, AND WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE CAR HAS NOT REPLICATED THE ISSUE SINCE THEN, BUT I HAVE TO CONSIDER THIS WHEN I TAKE MY FAMILY FOR A DRIVE/TRIP. I HAVE TO CONSIDER THEIR SAFETY, AND THE THOUGHT THAT IT COULD JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN OR AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, OR BOTH, IS VERY CONCERNING. THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE JUST STOPS, (AND DOESN'T SPUTTER OR SHUDDER OR SHAKE TO A STOP) MAKES ME BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

ON TWO OR THREE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST YEAR, WHEN I GO TO START THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE CRANKS MANY TIMES, BUT WON'T START. I WOULD TYPICALLY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A "NO FUEL TO THE ENGINE" ISSUE OR "NO SPARK", BUT ONCE I'M ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FROM CRANKING (WHICH HAS BEEN AN ISSUE) AND ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT DOES SO WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT MAKES ME THINK THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR MAY HAPPEN.

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED SO WE TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSIS TO A JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DIAGNOSIS FOR MY VEHICLE IS LOW COMPRESSION IN CYLINDERS #1 AND #2 CAUSING A MISFIRE. THE CODE IS P0302. THE IRONY OF THIS DIAGNOSIS IS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A CYLINDER HEAD EXTENSION WARRANTY FOR ONLY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. MEANING THAT CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE LEFT SIDE (UNDER WARRANTY) BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE THAT SUFFERS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. CYLINDER #1 IS COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY 10 YEARS 150,000 MILES AND CYLINDER #2 WAS COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL POWER TRAIN 5 YEARS 100,000 MILES AND WE ARE STILL UNDER 100,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. UNUSUAL WEAR AND FAILURE IN THE UPPER CYLINDERS AND VALVES ARE PERVASIVE PROBLEMS WITH 2011-13 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH THIS ENGINE I WAS ADVISED BY THE TECHNICIAN AT LARRY MILLER CHRYSLER THAT LKQ AND C&K DO NOT OFFER AFTERMARKET ENGINES FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO THE FACTORY MOTOR SEEMS TO BE OUR ONLY HOPE. WE HAVE SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO CHRYSLER CORP AND AM GETTING THEIR "GENERIC AUTOMATIC EMAIL THAT STATES OUR CLAIN HAS BEEN CLOSED". ONE REPRESENTIVAE EVEN ASKED US TO SUBMIT THE STAMPED WORK ORDER AND ANY RECEIPTS, WHICH WE DID 10 DAYS AGO. TODAY WE CALLED TO ASK ABOUT OUR CLAIM AND ARE BEING TOLD IT HAS BEEN CLOSED AND THEY HAVE NOT GOVEN US ANY EXPLANATION OTHER THAN IT IS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. HOW CAN 1 SIDE OF THE ENGINE BE COVERED BUT THE OTHER SIDE IS NOT? WE BASICALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR A WHOLE NEW ENGINE AND LABOR COSTS TO THE TUNE OF $8,000. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS AND REPAIRS AND WE ARE DEVASTATED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THIS ENGINE ISSUE IS EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY RUINING OUR FAMILY.

MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND WILL NOT RESTART. MECHANIC MADE US AWARE HE CANNOT FIX AS THIS IS AN ISSUE UNDER AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2019. I CALLED A JEEP SERVICE CENTER WHO SAID THEY CANNOT APPLY THE RECALL WORK BECAUSE JEEP/FIAT HAVEN'T MADE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. MEANTIME WE NOW HAVE A JEEP WE STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR EVEN THOUGH IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THIS RECALL CAME OUT A YEAR AGO AND I AM TOLD ANOTHER YEAR COULD PASS BEFORE JEEP MAKES PARTS AVAILABLE TO SERVICE CENTERS. WHAT IN THE MEANTIME ARE IMPACTED JEEP OWNERS SUPPOSED TO DO, KEEP PAYING FOR VEHICLES THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN? TWO YEARS BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS WE HAD SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO REFUEL AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART, STRANDING US. OUR MECHANIC RULED OUT BAD GAS AND INDICATED THE TIPM HAS MALFUNCTIONED. RECALL 19V-813 ADDRESSES IT (JEEP'S RECALL FOR IT IS V62) BUT APPEARS ANOTHER YEAR WILL PASS BEFORE THE RECALL CAN BE DONE. THAT'S A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. AGAIN, UNACCEPTABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 7/21/19 AND MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S ENGINE SEIZED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND NOW JEEP HAS A 2 MONTH WAITING LIST FOR THE HEMI MOTOR (WHICH APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR - THAT IS WHY THE WAITING LIST IS SO LONG). IT WILL BE OVER $8000 TO FIX AND I STILL OWE ON THE LOAN FOR THE CAR THAT I HAVE HAD LESS THAN 3 YEARS. IF HEMI MOTORS ARE A PROBLEM, JEEP SHOULD MAKE THEM WITH V6 NOT THE HEMI V8 MOTORS. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AS OF NOW. I AM STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND A LARGE LOAN FOR A USELESS JEEP THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. IT HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT. WHY IS JEEP ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE IF THEY ARE SUCH ISSUES. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON HEMI ENGINES IN JEEPS? THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO CALL JEEP CORPORATE THEY CLAIM THEY RETURN CALLS ONCE A WEEK (WHICH THEY DON'T) AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS TOLD ME "THING HAPPEN". THIS IS A TERRIBLE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS AND AS A JEEP OWNER FOR MANY MANY YEARS I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN. HOPEFULLY THIS HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT THEY WILL NEED TO DO A RECALL AND I CAN RECOUP SOME OF MY MONEY BACK.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. WHEN IT DOES IT AFFECTS BOTH THE BRAKING AND THE STEERING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WAS AN EASY FIX BUT THE 2ND TIME I WAS GETTING OFF AN EXIT AROUND 50 MPH. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THEM AROUND IN IT. I KNOW IN NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENS, THERE'S COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS DECIDED TO LIGHT UP IN MY JEEP RANDOMLY ONE DAY AFTER STARTING IT. AFTER SCANNING IT, IT SHOWS CODE P0522. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS SHOWN IT USUALLY SHOWS THE OIL LIGHT WHEN IT IS THAT CODE. SO AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD MY OIL CHANGED AGAIN AND I HAVE ORDERED A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SENDER HOPING THAT WILL FIX ALL MY PROBLEMS WHICH WILL BE INSTALLED NEXT SUNDAY (7/7/2019). I ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT HAD A CRACK IN IT, THE THERMOSTAT JUST FOR PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES, AND THE BELT BECAUSE IT HAD A TEAR IN IT ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF THE WIDTH. ALL OF THIS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SCANNER SHOWING THE CODE P0522. SO WE WILL SEE IF THAT ACTUALLY FIXES THE PROBLEM.

PEOPLE BEHIND ME NOT HAPPY WHEN STOPPING ON EXIT RAMPS. HAVE BROUGHT TO DEALER AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED AND THE CAR HAS NOT THROWN ANY CODES. THERE IS NOT REAL PATTERN TO THIS STALLING, BUT, HAVING TO STOP THE CAR TO RESTART IT POSSES A DANGER OF GETTING REAR ENDED. HAPPENS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 TO 60.

YESTERDAY MY JEEP ENGINE TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM DINNER. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON CITY ROADS EITHER BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, AS I TAKE THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR WORK. CONINCIDENTSLLY BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. I DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, BUT NOTICED BECAUSE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THE RADIO, DASH AND INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER FLICKERED OR TURNED OFF WHEN THE INGINE STALLED. AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS NOT AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY COME TO A STOP WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE VERY SLOW TO REACT.

WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE IT WILL JUST SILENTLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY AT THE SAME 5 PLACES, 3 OF THEM WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN IN AN S TURN AND THE OTHER 2 GOING STRAIGHT SLOWING TO STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A COMBINATION OF BRAKING, STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN ITS SHIFTING INTO 1ST SINCE I'M EITHER IN A STOPPING SITUATION OR S TURN SITUATION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKES CAUSING ME TO GO INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAVEL HEAD ON. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR MY VEHICLE BUT MINE HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR A SENSOR THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, MY CHANCE FOR A HEAD ON COLLISION IS VERY VERY SCARY.

I'M NOW 161,334 MILES & HAVE A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE AGAIN. IF IT FAILS COMPRESSION TEST AGAIN THIS WILL BE A 3RD TIME THE HEAD HAS FAILED & I'M PAST JEEP'S EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER IT. APPARENTLY JEEP HAS NOT FIXED THEIR FLAW. IT SPITS AN SPUTTERS, IDLES ROUGH SOMETIMES & I ALWAYS DO MY MAINTENANCE WHEN IT'S NEEDED.

THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE OPERATING AND DOES NOT TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO RESTART. THIS PREVENTS A QUICK REACTION TO BEING STALLED WHEN SLOWING TO ENTER OR EXIT AT AN INTERSECTION. ON MOST OCCASIONS, THE CAR WILL NOT START AND CONTINUES TO CRANK WHEN EITHER USING THE PUSH START, MANUAL KEY FOB, OR AUTO START. IT CANNOT BE MOVED ONCE STALLED. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART TOO QUICKLY OR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT WILL FLOOD. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS INCLUDED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SAME BEHAVIOR IS EXPERIENCED AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. TO PROVIDE HISTORY OF FAILED RECALLS, THE BRAKE SHIELD RECALL WAS CORRECTED BY TWO SEPERATE RECALLS AND WAS ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT PREVENTS DRIVER CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPING. THE STALLING OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR STOPPING, AND WHEN PERFORMING STRONG TURNS. THESE TYPES OF TURNS ARE DONE FREQUENTLY AT INTERSECTIONS WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO ESCAPE THE DANGER.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, BUT DECELERATING FROM HIGHER SPEED TO A STOP OR LOWER SPEED. ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING/DASH LIGHTS COME ON EVERYTHING ELSE (RADIO, LIGHTS) CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE ENGINE IS NO LONGER RUNNING IS THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DON'T WORK AND THE RPM ON THE TACHOMETER GO TO ZERO. CAR TYPICALLY WILL RE-START WITH NO ISSUE, BUT WILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STOP AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, IT'LL START RIGHT UP AND DRIVE FINE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PATTERN, OTHER THAN SLOWING DOWN. IT'S STALLED ON ME THE FOLLOWING TIMES AND SITUATIONS: * SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY - WAS RAINING, STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER STALL RAN FINE (2014) * SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, WOULD RESTART, BUT NOT STAY RUNNING.

THE AUTOMATIC CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON 2 HOURS INTO DRIVING NORTH ON THE HIGHWAY TO WISCONSIN FROM CHICAGO. THERE WAS NO HUMAN ACTION THAT CORRELATED WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON. IT SIMPLY CAME ON WHEN GOING CONSISTENT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IN NO TRAFFIC. I LEARNED FROM THE DRIVER'S MANUAL THAT THIS MOST LIKELY MEANT THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED AND I NEEDED TO GET ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A REPAIR SHOP ON A THURSDAY WHERE IT WOULD REMAIN FOR 10 DAYS AS THINGS BEGAN TO UNFOLD. THE EMPLOYEES OF THE REPAIR SHOP COULD IDENTIFY NO FAULT IN THE ALTERNATOR AFTER THOROUGH INSPECTION AND DRIVING TESTS. THE WARNING LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, AFTER IT HAD BEEN CLEARED OF ALL INSPECTION AND TURNED ON, THERE WAS AN ENORMOUS FAILURE IN THE CAR CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ALTERNATOR CAUSED SUCH A MASSIVE SHORT THAT IT NOT ONLY FAILED ITSELF, BUT ALSO BROKE THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPUTER. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BY CHRYSLER (T36) FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND INCLUDED 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S. I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS FAILURE IS SPECIFIC TO THE MANUFACTURING ERRORS BY CHRYSLER JEEP. THERE HAVE BEEN A TOTAL OF 10 RECALLS ON THE 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, 3 OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC TO THIS VEHICLE, AND CLEARLY, NOW A 4TH. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BEEN AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE FAILURE BY CHRYSLER TO NOTIFY ME OR INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THEIR RECALL IS PREPOSTEROUS. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION REGARDING REPAIR AND CLAIMS ATTACHED. MORE INFO AND CLAIM DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RED BATTERY LIGHT CAME FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. WITHIN MINUTES OF THE LIGHT APPEARING, THE JEEP'S AIR CONDITIONING WENT OFF, ALL WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON (WITHOUT PROMPTING THEM). ALL THREE OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED WITHIN SECONDS OF EACH OTHER SO I TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BUT THE JEEP LOST ALL POWER AND STALLED IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO POWER SO I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON OR PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO ROLL TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE). I THEN HAD TO EXIT THE JEEP INTO ONCOMING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE AND LUCKILY MADE IT SAFETY TO THE SHOULDER WHERE I CALLED 911 AND TRIPLE A FOR A TOW. THE JEEP WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND THAT HE HAD TO UNPLUG IT FROM THE BATTERY SINCE IT WAS STILL PRODUCING EXCESSIVE HEAT HOURS AFTER IT ARRIVED THERE. I THEN CALLED THE FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REFERENCED RECALL T36, SINCE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AS THE DESCRIPTION PROVIDED (ALTHOUGH I DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS ON MY VIN). THEY PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPT SO I PAID FOR ANOTHER TOW THERE. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPT THAT MY ALTERNATOR FAILED, WHICH DRAINED MY BATTERY, WHICH BROKE MY MODULE POWERTRAIN CONTROL COMPUTER TOTALING $2,134 IN REPAIRS. THEY CANNOT CONFIRM NOR DENY THAT MY JEEP IS PART OF RECALL T36, BUT REGARDLESS SINCE MY VIN DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS ON IT, THAT I HAVE TO PAY IN FULL AND THAT IF DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A RECALL THAT I WILL GET REIMBURSED. I THEN CALL THE FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK AND THEY CHECK THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEM AND CONFIRM THAT I AM NOT PART OF RECALL T36 AND THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR MY JEEP.

2012 ALTITUDE. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS, NO GLITCHES IN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR ANYTHING. THE ONLY WAY I KNOW THE ENGINE CUTS OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, EASE ON THE BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON, AND THEN WHEN IT RESTARTS I SHIFT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF. LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE NO GLITCHES IN THE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. NO CODES OR ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I BOUGHT IT IN SEPT 2016 AND ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP ABOUT 9 TIMES. THEY CANT EVEN GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN, LET ALONE FIX IT. I EMAILED THE JEEP AND FIAT CEOS FOR A PAPER TRAIL IN CASE I GOT INTO A WRECK- WANTED TO COVER MY ***- AND THEY RESPONDED. THEY SAID THEY'D PAY FOR MY RENTAL CAR EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY JEEP IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE. SO THAT HAS LIMITED ME TO BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY ARE GIVING ME A NUMBER TO ALLOW ME TO PURCHASE A NEW JEEP AT EMPLOYEE COST, BUT, CONSIDERING I BOUGHT A 2012 IN 2016, I CAN'T AFFORD A 2017 MODEL. I'D HAVE TO SACRAFICE A LOT OF MY CURRENT OPTIONS TO TRY TO FIND A VEHICLE PRICED TO MAINTAIN MY CURRENT PAYMENTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM ALL SPEEDS. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70MPH, 30MPH, AND EVEN AFTER I CAME TO A RED LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND GOT NOTHING... THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE NOTICED, AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE I REALLY NOTICED THIS, BUT IF I'M DRIVING HARD, AND GO FROM FAST TO SLOW QUICKLY, BUT NOT SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES, KIND OF LIKE FLYING DOWN THE STREET AND THEN THE LIGHT TURNS SO YOU GOTTA COME TO A STOP SOON. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE. I'M NOT EVEN SURE THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE AFTERMARKET HIDS INSTALLED (DDM TUNING WITH CANBUS PLUS OR WHATEVER IT IS) HOWEVER, IT'S HAPPENED DAY OR NIGHT, LIGHTS ON AND LIGHTS OFF.

CAR STARTED NORMALLY HOWEVER, ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING, A NUMBER OF DIAGNOSTICS ERRORS WERE DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN. I STARTED TO SMELL AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS BURNING SO I RETURNED HOME. A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT, THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD. NO POWER AT ALL. I COULD NOT EVEN LOCK THE DOOR. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 RELATED TO THE ALTERNATOR AND THE DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS THAT COULD OCCUR WITH THAT, WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED THIS MORNING. HOWEVER, WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS WITH FCA, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THAT RECALL. SO NOW, I AM THINKING THAT I MAY HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW BUT OVER THE PHONE, THE SERVICE REP BELIEVED THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ALTERNATOR/BATTERY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WANT TO BE COVERED IN CASE THIS TURNS OUT TO BE AN ISSUE WHERE MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ALTERNATOR RECALL BUT WAS NOT. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED BEFORE I GOT AWAY FROM MY HOME AND ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

WITHIN THE SPAN OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MONTHS, THE ENGINE HAS RANDOMLY TURNED OFF 8 TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE CAR LOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT THE CAR CAN NOT SAFELY BE MOVED TO A SAFE EMERGENCY STOP LOCATION. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT WITH NO SOLUTION. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED ALL RECALLS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES, BUT THESE HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO THEREFORE CANNOT FIX IT. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE MANAGER WAS ASSIGNED TO THE CASE. THE CASE MANAGER INSTRUCTED THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE THE CAR, WHICH THEY HAD DONE BEFORE, TO TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO AND THE CASE MANAGER HAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IF THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE REPLICATED. WHEN ASKED WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT THE VEHICLE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT, THE CASE MANAGER STATED TO CONTACT HIM AT THAT POINT AND HE WILL TAKE THE CASE "TO THE NEXT LEVEL". IN SHORT, THE CAR MUST BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. AT THIS POINT, WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR FOR WHICH WE ARE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY AND ARE NOT BEING OFFERED ANY SOLUTIONS. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 / CHRYSLER RECALL P60 ALREADY EXISTS BUT THAT IS FOR 160 AMP MINE IS 180 AMP, I THINK THAT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE. MY JEEP DIED AND WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN. ALL POWER WAS LOST 100%, LUCKILY MY FAMILY AND I WERE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION GETTING SODAS. IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE SAME ISSUE OF THE RECALL THAT IS ALREADY OUT BUT ALSO EFFECTS MY JEEP WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER THAT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO MODELS.

ONLY REMEDY WAS TO PUT IT IN PARK, JEEP WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS HAPPENED IN JUNE, AUGUST AND OCTOBER. AFTER OCTOBER STALL, I TOOK TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING UNUSUAL, AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE TRAILER TAILLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AND THEY RECOMMEND REPLACE TIPM. THINGS WERE FINE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2016. ON SEPT 2 JEEP STALLS TURNING RIGHT, FULL TANK OF GAS. ON SEPT 6 - STALLS SLIGHTLY TURNING INTO SUICIDE LANE. BACK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAS IT FROM 9/7-9-9.

UNEXPECTED STALL WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK MONDAY 4/25 WHILE TURNING AND 4/28/16 WHILE DRIVING IN A 45 MPH ROAD (GRAND RIVER, FARMINGTON HILLS). THIS TOUCH HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY SERVICED BY DEALER FOR RECALL NOTICE AND HAS NOT HELPED THE ISSUE AT ALL!

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY USED JEEP, I WAS COMING TO A STOP ON A CITY STREET AND MY JEEP POWERED OFF COMPLETELY. AFTER TAKING THE JEEP IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FIXED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, WHICH WAS RECALLED ,AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. SINCE THEN MY JEEP HAS POWERED OFF 5 TIMES (ONCE WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, TWICE WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY, ONCE WHILE MAKING A U-TURN UNDER THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A CITY STREET) EACH TIME WHILE BRAKING. I'VE HAD NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING EACH TIME.

I ENGAGED THE FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE START IN SIDE MY GARAGE. WITHIN 3 MINUTES THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE ORIGINATED JUST IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT UNDER THE HOOD. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF OF AUXILIARY. FLAMES ENGULFED THE ENGINE AND MY HOUSE.

ON THE FIRST OF MARCH, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE ABOUT TO START THEIR DAY IN THE USUAL WAY. SHE OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR AND USED HER KEY FOB TO REMOTE START OUR 2012 JEEP GC LIMITED ( AROUND 42K MILES) ( FACTORY INSTALLED REMOTE STARTER) SHE WALKED AWAY FOR LESS THAN 4 MINUTES AND RETURNED TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF JEEP. SHE CALLED FOR ME, AND PUSHED THE AUX BUTTON TO BE SURE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. I CAME RUNNING AND DESPITE MY ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE HOOD AND BEAT BACK WHAT QUICKLY ESCALATED INTO OPEN FLAMES I RETREATED TO ENSURE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND TO BE SURE THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WERE CALLED. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE SOME POTENTIAL FUEL FOR THE FIRE BY REMOVING OUR SECOND CAR FROM THE GARAGE (ALSO A CHRYSLER) AND SECURING THE DOOR BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND GARAGE. LUCK INTERVENED WHEN THE FLAMES DESTROYED THE GARAGE DOOR ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE GARAGE DOOR TO FALL AND HELP REMOVE SOME OXYGEN FROM THE FIRE. EVENTUALLY FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED AND WERE ABLE TO KNOCK DOWN THE FIRE WITH FOAM . LATER THE FIREMEN PUSHED THE JEEP INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO ENSURE IT WAS DOUSED. THOUGH THE REMOTE START MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER ARC SPARKED THE FIRE, IT'S MY BELIEF THAT ITS USE CONTRIBUTED DIRECTLY TO THE CONDITIONS THAT CONFLAGRATED THE SITUATION. IF THE WIRING HARNESS IS OTHERWISE SUSPECT I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED CONSIDERING RECENT REVELATIONS ON RELATED MODELS. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST REMOVED FROM THE SITE TODAY 3/9/2016 TO COPART FACILITY, BY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE.

THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO JEEP AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES BEING GENERATED.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF DURING RIGHT TURN IN BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. UNABLE TO TURN OR CONTROL VEHICLE. ALSO THE BRAKE ON LIGHTS COME ON IN THE CONSUL DURING NORMAL OPERATION. BASED ON OTHER JEEP MODEL RECALLS, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE TIPM-7 MODULE. THE VEHICLE IS A GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLANDER 4WD. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND HAS NOT HAD ANOTHER FAILURE, HOWEVER, THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION WHEN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE DIES WHILE IN MOTION IN ANY ROAD CONDITION.

1-AFTER QUICKLY STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO COLLECT MAIL, I TRIED TO GO BACK INTO THE ROAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING BUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE. I ENDED UP CROSSING INTO THE OTHER SIDE, GOING INTO THE DITCH AND HITTING A SNOW BANK. DUE TO THE VERY SLOW SPEED (I WAS SPEEDING FROM THE PARKED POSITION) AND TO THE LUCK THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS COMING ON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, NO HARM WAS DONE. DEALERSHIP NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. 2- I HAVE HAD TWO SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED ON A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. FOR ONE OF THEM, MY CAR IS AT RISK OF FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, AND FOR THE OTHER ONE, THERE COULD BE ENGINE STALL AND CRASH. JEEP HAS INFORMED OF BOTH, BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE MY DEALERSHIP WITH THE APPROPRIATE PARTS FOR FIXING THE PROBLEMS. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, RISKING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS TELL ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND GOOD LUCK? BECAUSE IT'S MONETARILY CHEAPER TO PAY FOR LOST LIVES THAN TO AVOID THE LOSS? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT A CHEAP ONE, HOWEVER WE HAVE BEEN TREATED LIKE THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOR JUST FOR LETTING US A KNOW WE ARE AT RISK OF DYING FROM CAR CRASH DUE TO IT'S MALFUNCTIONS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO SEAVIEW JEEP IN OCEAN NJ I WAS ADVISED THAT THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT IS SEPTEMBER 15. MY CONCERN IS THAT YOUR RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT "AN INTERMITTENT OR FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER (800-992-1997) I WAS ADVISED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE THAT THE CAR WAS "MORE LIKELY NOT TO START" AND "YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE SERVICE SCHEDULE OF THE DEALERSHIP". MY QUESTION/CONCERN/COMPLAINT IS THAT HOW CAN YOU SEND OUT A RECALL THAT CLEARLY STATES THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING YET MAKE SOMEONE WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE APPOINTMENT. MY EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT FOR A SAFETY CONCERN SUCH AS THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE RECALL TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN YOU CLEARLY STATE A CRASH COULD OCCUR PLEASE ADVISE HOW THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THEY HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SAY THAT IF RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE ON A LONGER TRIP AND IT STARTED MISSING DURING A LATE NIGHT DRIVE TO VIRGINIA. THE MISSING WAS SO BAD I WAS LOOSING POWER. I AM AWARE OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL THAT WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL, BUT ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THE PARTS ARE JUST BECOMING AVAILABLE NOW. I AM ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO DEFINITE DATE TO WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE I HAVE SYMPTOMS OF A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND EVEN MORE AFRAID TO HAVE MY CHILDREN OR MY WIFE DRIVE IT. I AM AMAZED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD I BELIEVE 5 RECALLS AND STILL FIAT CHRYSLER GETS SO MUCH TIME TO REACT AND REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE HOPED OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE HELD THE NEW ITALIAN/FIAT OWNERS OF CHRYSLER TO A HIRING STANDARD. FIATS REPUTATION FOR LOW QUALITY CARS WAS SO BAD THAT THEY HAD TO PULL OUR OF THE US AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. WHY ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING CARS WITH DEFECTS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THEN ALLOWED TO HAVE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THEM?

THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ITS SISTER PRODUCT, 2012-2013 JEEP WRANGLER, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM - REFERENCE THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 13V234000. THE SAME DESIGN FLAW EXISTS IN THE 2012-2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND THESE MODELS ALSO NEED TO BE RECALLED. PROBLEM: THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE CONTACTS AND WEARS A HOLE IN THE ALUMINUM TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT OR OBVIOUS LOW FLUID LEVELS, SO AN OWNER MAY NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS. RISK: SUCH A CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WITHOUT THE OWNER'S KNOWLEDGE, WHICH MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE AND LOSS OF FUNCTION. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR OBVIOUS LOW FLUID LEVELS. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL A REGULARLY SCHEDULED CHECK UP. I AM UNSURE OF WHETHER THERE IS ANY UNDETECTED DAMAGE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS ONLY MILES AWAY FROM BURNING MY TRANSMISSION OUT AND IT SHUTTING DOWN. THE REPAIR COST WAS $849.27 AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, IF IT HAD SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I DO OFTEN AS A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO DAUGHTERS, THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE LOST FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. WHY ISN'T THIS RECALLED ALREADY? IT'S NOT SAFE AND IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS IT'S SISTER PRODUCT THAT WAS ALREADY RECALLED!

I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH STARTING MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE V8 OVERLAND. THE JEEP WILL START BUT WILL STALL RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IF YOU PUT THE JEEP IN GEAR QUICKLY IT WILL STALL IN GEAR ALSO. MOST OF THE TIME IT STALLS RIGHT AFTER STARTING. I HAVE TO SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND PRESS THE START BUTTON AGAIN TO GET IT STARTED. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP AT THE DEALERSHIP (COLORADO CHRYSLER JEEP) MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THE "RESOLUTION" FOR THE DEALERSHIP IS THAT THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. ON 4/10/15 THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT STALLED ON THEM AND THEY REPLACED A SWITCH IG 08053059. RECEIVED THE JEEP BACK AND IT STALLED THE NEXT DAY. CALLED COLORADO CHRYSLER JEEP BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO GET AN ELECTRICIAN IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THAT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT THIS POINT AND CHRYSLER HAD ME TAKE THE JEEP INTO CHERRY CREEK DODGE BECAUSE THEY COULD "GET ME IN QUICKER". ON 5/22/15 I TOOK THE JEEP TO CHERRY CREEK DODGE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERFORMED PROCEDURE S1308000399 5/2015 OUTLINED IN CHRYSLER'S STAR SYSTEM. THE NEXT DAY THE JEEP STALLED. I HAVE CALLED BACK MULTIPLE TIMES TO BOTH CHRYSLER AND CHERRY CREEK DODGE WITH EITHER NO ANSWER OR NO SOLUTION. CHERRY CREEK DODGE IS NOW PUTTING ME OF WITH A NEW RECALL SAYING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THINKS THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, AND CHRYSLER WANTS TO GO WITH WHAT CHERRY CREEK DODGE SAYS. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. EVER DAY THE JEEP STALLS AT SOME POINT. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES. WE TOOK THE JEEP TO COLORADO CHRYSLER AT 35,451 MILES AND THE JEEP HAS ABOUT 54,000 MILES NOW.

SO, I DRIVE A DEADLY VEHICLE (DEADLY FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS) FOR SOME INDETERMINATE PERIOD OF TIME. IF THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AS IT IS REPORTED TO BE, IT SHOULD BE PARKED AND THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER SHOULD PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE FIX OR AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION IS ABSURD. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THE GM IGNITION SWITCH SITUATION? APPARENTLY NOT.

I RETURNED MY SINGLE AXEL MOTORCYCLE TRAILER TO THE GRAVEL STORAGE LOT AND BACKED IT INTO IT'S SPACE. WITH THE ENGINE IDLING I PUT IT IN PARK, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER FROM THE VEHICLE. I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO IDLE IT FORWARD A COUPLE FEET TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE TRAILER HITCH FROM THE RECEIVER. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IMMEDIATELY UPON BEING PUT IN DRIVE THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO OVER 5,000 RPMS AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I TRIED TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK BUT HIT REVERSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH BACKWARDS. I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE TRANSMISSION FORWARD INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. THE INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR SECONDS. THE REAR TIRES SPUN IN THE GRAVEL CREATING 3 INCH DEEP DIVOTS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 5.7L ENGINE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A CAUSE.

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER ON 3/24/15 FOR STALLING ISSUES AND OTHER SAFETY RECALLS. CAR HAD NOT STARTED ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS UP UNTIL 3/24/25. I WAS TOLD THE KEY FOB BATTERIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT MAY FIX THE ISSUE. I PAID TO HAVE BOTH BATTERIES REPLACED. ON 5/4/15 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE NOT STARTING ISSUE HAD BECOME MORE EXTREME. IT OCCURRED 8 TIMES SINCE THE 3/24/15 SERVICE AND ON ONE OCCASION IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WAS AN EXTREME DELAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR REACTED AND LURCHED FORWARD. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD EVER DONE THIS. ADDITIONALLY, ON ONE OCCASION OF NOT STARTING IT CONTINUED TO CHUG INSTEAD OF JUST NOT REACTING. DEALER ADVISED AGAIN THAT ONE OF THE KEY FOBS NEEDED TO HAVE A BATTERY REPLACED (BOTH WERE REPLACED THE PREVIOUS MONTH) AND THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS FOR THE SAFETY RECALL. HEADQUARTERS ADVISED THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW IN A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE PROBLEMS IS RAPIDLY GETTING WORSE AND THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THERE MAY BE ISSUES WHILE I AM DRIVING IT AS WELL. I HAVE ASKED FOR ESCALATION AND SOMETHING EVEN A TEMPORARY FIX BE DONE. NO RESPONSE FROM HEADQUARTERS YET. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE. ALL OF THE EXTERNAL LIGHTS MODULES ---HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS--- WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEN THE CAR SOMETIMES WOULDN'T START. THE DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. FINALLY ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AT THE DEALER AND THEY FIGURED IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE KEYLESS ENTRY THAT WAS READING THE SIGNAL FROM THE KEY FOB. THEN WHEN THEY WERE INSPECTING THE CAR THEY FOUND THE REAR SHOCK WAS LEAKING. THEY ORDERED A NEW PART IN JUNE AND IT WAS FINALLY REPLACED IN OCT AS THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. ON A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME I NEEDED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECK ( 30000 MILES) TO THE TUNE OF $1700 AND WANTED ME TO DO IT RIGHT THEN.. THE DAY AFTER THIS OIL CHANGE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE I HADN'T DONE MY 30000 MILE CHECK ( THE DAY BEFORE). HE SAID IT COULD BE VARIABLE THINGS BUT PROBABLY A BAD SPARK PLUG THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ( PART OF THE $1700 CHECK HE HAD WANTED ME TO DO). I SAID I HAD OTHER CARS INCLUDING A 2002 JEEP AND I HADN'T HAD TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS AT 30000 MILES. THEN HE REALIZED MY 3.6 L CAR DID NOT NEED SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AT 30000 ---- ONLY THE 5.7 DID. YESTERDAY I CHECKED MY FLUIDS AND SAW THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS WAY LOW. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THIS WAS NORMAL. THE TECH SAID NO--- THE STEERING FLUID WAS IN A CONTAINED SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT LOOSE FLUID. HE SAID I MUST HAVE A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE SYSTEM. HE SAID IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HE SAID THE ENGINE COULD CATCH FIRE OR I COULD LOOSE STEERING. WHY WOULDN'T THIS BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY? IT IS DANGEROUS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 36000 MILES AND THIS LEAK SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. WHEN STARTED, IDLED VERY ROUGH AND STALLED AGAIN. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER INDICATED FAILURE IN FUEL PUMP RELAY. REPAIR INVOLVES DISABLING OF FUEL PUMP RELAY IN TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND INSTALLING EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY. FAILURE ALSO RESULTED IN FAILURE OF VALVE SPRING. THE REPAIR REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP IS IDENTICAL TO THE REPAIR OUTLINED IN CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL P54/NHTSA 14V-530, WHICH PER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO 2011 VEHICLES AND NOT 2012 VEHICLES.

LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A DEALERSHIP WITH AN APPOINTMENT AND PART TO FIX IT; EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE COMPUTER MIGHT JUST NEED AN UPDATE. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES USING KEYFOB. HAVING ISSUES STARTING CAR UP TO THE TIME I DROVE IT ACROSS TOWN TO DEALERSHIP, IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER, SPUTTERED, SHOOK AND STARTED. I ALSO HAVE PARTS ON ORDER (BEEN ON ORDER SINCE 9/28/14) FOR THE ACTIVE RECALLS FOR BRAKE BOOSTER AND SUN VISOR FIRES. I ALWAYS HEAR A RUNNING SOUND AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS NO HELP. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH ALL THE RECALL/SAFETY ISSUES VIA EMAIL AND WAS TOLD "SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR CONCERNS AND DELAY IN HAVING PARTS. I REGRET THE PROBLEMS YOU ARE HAVING WITH YOUR VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS YOUR VEHICLES ISSUES VIA EMAIL. WE RECOMMEND CONTACTING YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT." DID THEY EVEN READ MY COMPLAINT!!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEPENDABLE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS? THIS IS MY 5TH IN 18 YEARS OF DRIVING AND MY LAST. HOPEFULLY I DO NOT HURT/KILL ANYONE OR MYSELF BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT IS A 2012 WITH 28K ON IT, THIS IS JUST DISGUSTING! FOR AS MUCH AS THESE JEEPS COST I EXPECT A BETTER PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM CHRYSLER.

SHE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER, WHERE SHE WAS TOLD TO CALL CHRYSLER ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE IT TOWED IN. THE DEALER TOOK A LOOK AT IT THE NEXT DAY AND COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY RE CHIPPED IT I BELIEVE(RESET THE ELECTRONICS). THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPEN AGAIN APPROX. 30 DAYS LATER AND IT WAS TOWED IN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUE. THEY SAID WE HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN UNANTICIPATED ENGINE STALL WHEN DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN (BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT). IN EACH OF THESE INSTANCES, AS I WAS IN THE TURN (OR IMMEDIATELY BEFORE), THE ENGINE STALLED, LEAVING ME WITHOUT POWER-ASSISTED STEERING OR BRAKES. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AS THE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL FORCE NEEDED TO COMPLETE A TURN IS VERY SUBSTANTIAL. IN EACH INSTANCE, AFTER BRINGING THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BY PLACING THE SHIFT SELECTOR IN "NEUTRAL," APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND PUSHING THE ENGINE START BUTTON. WHILE I HAVE SUFFICIENT ARM STRENGTH TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL IN EACH OF THESE INSTANCES, IT IS, AT A MINIMUM, A SURPRISING AND UNEXPECTED EVENT TO HAVE STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY. A SMALLER PERSON COULD EASILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER, WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED, BUT THAT MAY ALSO BE A MATTER OF CONCERN. *TR

ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGHLY AND ATTEMPTED TO STALL IN TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO JEEP DEALER IN GULF SHORES ALABAMA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD WAS DEFECTIVE. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT IN THE 2012 CHEROKEES WITH THE 3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE. IF THIS VEHICLE HAD STALLED WHILE ON AN INTERSTATE RAMP, OR A VALVE IN THE DEFECTIVE HEAD DROPPED DOWN INTO THE CYLINDER, AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT. JEEP HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DEFECT BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS COULD BE AS SERIOUS AS THE GM IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, THE FIRST TIME I HAD JUST GONE THROUGH THE DULLES TOLL AND AS I PAID THE TOLL AND PULLED OFF THE ENGINE DID NOT STAY IN DRIVE, IT WENT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY AND THE GEAR SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL OR A LOWER GEAR. EACH TIME (3) I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP AND GO INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN ENGINE, GEAR OR POWER TRAIN ISSUE. ALSO ALMOST DAILY WHEN DRIVING, THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S PULLING/STRAINING AND NOT GOING ALL THE WAY INTO DRIVE. THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE WINTER AND SUMMER (ANY TIME OF YEAR, NOT WEATHER SPECIFIC). I ALWAYS WARM THE CAR UP BEFORE DRIVING IT. WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE, IT DRIVES VERY SMOOTHLY. THE ISSUE HAPPENS 75% OF THE TIME (EXCEPT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, IT ALWAYS DRIVE SMOOTHLY WHEN THEY TAKE IT OUT). HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED BUT THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN THAT WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT TO TEST DRIVE IT, IT WAS FINE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT AND DO SEVERAL TEST DRIVES TO SEE IF IT WILL REPLICATE THE SITUATION. BECAUSE I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK EACH DAY AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OR PROVIDE A LOANER, THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO RENT A CAR AND PAY A CAR NOTE. I RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES SO HOPEFULLY MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE BRAKE NEEDING TO BE PUSHED ON FIRMLY WILL GO WAY WHEN THE PART'S COME IN (HUGE BACK ORDER, ON WAITING LIST FOR PARTS). I ALSO GET THE CAR SERVICED REGULARLY (WHEN IT'S TIME) SO I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM. *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT SPEED FROM 35 TO UPWARDS OF 70 MPH, MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITHOUT WARNING POWERS OFF AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THE ISSUES WERE DIAGNOSED BY CRISWELL JEEP SERVICE CENTER, WHEREBY THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS DUE A FAULTY AND LOOSE GROUND/ THE SUBSEQUENT RE-OCCURRENCES WERE DUE TO FAILURE OF TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WHICH WAS REPLACED AT MILEAGE OF 10,811. ODDLY, ONE YEAR FOR SECOND ON JUNE 10, 2014, SAME ISSUE RECURRED. I CONTRACTED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE DEFECT AND OPEN A FILE ON THE MATTER. THEY INSTRUCTED TO TAKE TO ANOTHER JEEP SERVICE CENTER FOR SECONDARY ASSESSMENT ON ELECTRICAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED A YEAR EARLIER. DARCARS JEEP SERVICE CENTER COULD NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG EVEN AFTER THEIR TECHNICIAN DROVE MY SUV TO HIS RESIDENCE AND ADDED 62 MILES ONTO MY VEHICLE. IN CONCLUSION, I INFORMED A"POSSIBLE OF "FIX" BUT THE SOLUTION IS UNPROVEN AND NOT SUPPORTED BY CHRYSLER. PARTS ARE ON ORDER TO INSTALL A NEW RECEIVER, ANTENNA-R AND ANTENNA-P WHICH SHOULD CURE WHAT IS DEEM AS UNIDENTIFIABLE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2011. IN 2013 I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST INCIDENT WHERE MY JEEP STARTED, RAN FOR 1-2 SECONDS, THEN DIED. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART IT AND COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART. I FINALLY DECIDED TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND START THE IGNITION PROCESS OVER. THANKFULLY THAT SEEMED TO WORK. BETWEEN THE FIRST INCIDENT AND THE NEXT SERVICE VISIT (JANUARY 2014), THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6-10 TIMES. I MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THEY NOTED IT ON THE SERVICE SHEET; HOWEVER THEY TOLD ME THEY SAW NO ERROR CODES AND COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE IN FEBRUARY I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE IT STARTED THEN STALLED, THEN THE SECURITY ALARM SOUNDED. I HAD TO REMOVE THE PUSH START AND USE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THEN APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER I STARTED THE JEEP TO GO TO WORK AND IT DIED AFTER RUNNING FOR 1-2 SECONDS. I RESTARTED THE IGNITION PROCESS, THIS TIME WHEN I LET GO OF THE PUSH BUTTON START THE STARTER CONTINUED TO CRANK FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS, UNTIL I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LOCKED THE CAR. NOW IN THE LAST TWO DAYS THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED, RAN FOR 1-2 SECONDS, THEN DIED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND SHARED THE ABOVE INFORMATION WITH THEM. I HAVE ADVISED THEM THAT I THINK I HAVE A BAD TIPM. I AM HOPING TO GET THIS ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY SINCE I HAVE 33,500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE REPLACED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. I AM SEEING THE AVERAGE COST TO REPLACE THE TIPM AT A DEALER IS $1200-$1400. THERE ARE ENOUGH SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT THESE SORT OF ISSUES THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

THIS JEEP HAS REMOTE KEY-LESS ENTRY/ENGINE START. THE ENGINE CANNOT BE TURNED OFF UNLESS THE GEAR SHIFT IS IN PARK. IF THE THROTTLE STAYS OPEN CAUSING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, ONE CANNOT TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS COULD RESULT IN ONE OR MORE DEATHS AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY! IF ONE HAD AN ACCIDENT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP DUE TO A JAMMED GAS PEDAL, HOW DO ONE TURN IT OFF? CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "THE CHARACTERISTIC YOU DESCRIBE, HOWEVER, IS A FUNCTION OF YOUR VEHICLE'S DESIGN AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO ?FIX? THE CONDITION." REFERENCE NUMBER: EMAIL CASE NUMBER: SUPPLIED UPON REQUEST. IN OTHER WORDS THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE!

SERVICE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY SPECIFIC REASON WHY THIS OCCURS. ON JANUARY 8TH, THE SAME STARTING ISSUE OCCURRED AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP HAS IDENTIFIED A BAD CYLINDER HEAD. THERE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS ARE REPLACEMENT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. SERVICE DEALERSHIP STATED THE STARTING ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE CYLINDER HEAD. THEY STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN AN EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE STARTING ISSUE. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY STATED THE CYLINDER HEAD ISSUE IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V487000. UPON REVIEWING THIS CAMPAIGN IT STATES THE ?ENGINE REQUIRES REPLACEMENT?. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH A CYLINDER REPAIR AND A PROBABLE FIX OF THE STARTING ISSUE WERE THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS ONLY 29K. I AGREE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. *TR

I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS LOCK WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO THE TIPM. ADDITIONALLY, ON 11/29/13, THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON NOTIFYING ME THAT THE KEY FOB BATTERY WAS LOW. I REPLACED THE KEY FOB BATTERY THAT DAY BUT THAT HAD NO IMPACT ON THE GREATER PROBLEMS OF THE CAR NOT STARTING AND THE FOG LIGHTS FLASHING WHEN THE RIGHT SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. WILL BE TAKING MY JEEP BACK TO HUFFINES TOMORROW MORNING. *TR

APRIL 5, 2013, LESS THAN A YEAR (PURCHASED - 2012 JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE LAREDO) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND INFORMED MY SERVICE PROVIDER (JEEP DEALERSHIP) THERE IS A "PROBLEM" WITH THE CYLINDER HEAD. VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, LESS THAN 10K MILES AND ALREADY A MAJOR PART MUST BE REPLACED ON A "BRAND NEW" VEHICLE. I AM INFORMED THAT IS NOT A COMMON, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON". REPAIR TOOK MORE THAN THREE DAYS, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ENGINE MUST BE TAKEN OUT TO REPLACE THESE TWO CYLINDERS. VERY ALARMING AND VERY CONCERNED FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS VEHICLE, WHAT ELSE COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG NEXT? TWO MONTHS LATER, DRIVER SIDE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO CRACKS IN THE "LEATHER". TWO MONTHS AFTER, BRAKES ARE MAKING STRANGE NOISES, ACCELERATION VERY SLOW, STALLS, MUST PRESS VERY HARD ON GAS PEDAL FOR VEHICLE TO PICK UP SPEED, VERY FRIGHTENING ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY. DOOR PANELS APPEARS LOOSE, THE DOORS (3) WILL NOT STAY OPEN, REQUIRES EXTRA PUSH AND HOLD BEFORE IT STAYS OPEN BY ITSELF. TO CLOSE THE DOOR I MUST LITERALLY SLAM THE DOOR, OTHERWISE NOT SHUT, VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY CHILDRENS SIT BACK THERE. HOPEFULLY THIS IS MY LAST ENCOUNTER THE CAMERAS (BACK) OF VEHICLE FLASH ON AND OFF, I AM VERY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHEN THE POSITION OF THE DRIVER SEAT MAKES LOOKING BACK VERY DIFFICULT, THE CAMERA CANNOT BE FUNCTIONING INEFFICIENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS A 3/YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED I DO NOT FIND THAT TO BE SUFFICIENT OR EVEN UTTERLY APPROPRIATE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE NOT A USED. IF THERE WERE NO WARRANTIES I COULD NOT IMAGINED PAYING OUT OF POCKET THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY POWERS DOWN. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND WE LOOSE ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES BOTH AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AND OPERATE NORMALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES. OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS THREE ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. JEEP BELIEVES THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (WIRING FROM TIPM TO FUEL PUMP) BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE BASED ON PAST REPAIR HISTORY. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE TO BE A DANGER TO ME, MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP FROM A STOP SIGN AND IT ALL OF A SUDDEN SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND FORCES ME TO PULL OVER, RESTART IT AND IT RUNS FINE AFTER THAT. WELL, IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES AFTER THIS AND I HAVE ARRANGED A 7AM SERVICE FOR IT ON MONDAY. THE BOOK SAYS CHECK THE GAS CAP OR IT MAY BE BAD GAS, BUT I BURNED THE GAS DOWN TO 15 MILES LEFT AND FILLED IT WITH SUPER UNLEADED. NO MATTER WHAT I DO, LIKE SHIFT INTO N, REV THE ENGINE, NOTHING WORKS UNTIL I PULL OVER AND RESTART IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER WITH 14,500 MILES ON IT. STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR, 36000 MILE WARRANTY. STARTED THE ENGINE ONLY TO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE. DROVE BYAUTOZONE AND RED THE CODE, P0304, MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 4. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND HE SENT IT TO THE JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICE. I WAS GIVEN A LONER CAR FROM THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK ON WED. JULY 31ST FROM MY PURCHASING DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER WAS FLASHED AND RE-PROGRAMMED. THURSDAY MORNING, THE DAY AFTER THE REPAIR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND WILL BE DROPPING OFF FRIDAY MORNING. I KNOW OF THE INHERENT ISSUES WITH THE 3.6 L PENTSTAR ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS AND WANT BOTH HEADS REPLACED. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 3 MONTHS AGO, TOOK TO DEALER SAID IT WAS NOTHING. I ASKED WHY DID IT COME ON THEY SAID IT'S JUST COMPUTERS SOME TIMES THEY HAVE TO BE RESET. ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MONDAY TOOK TO SAME DEALER. THEY SAID I HAD CYLINDER MISFIRE IN THE 6TH CYLINDER AND HAD TO REPLACE IT. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH JEEP CHEROKEE 2012. WHY IS THIS NOT ON A RECALL? *TR

THE CONTACT CALLED THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED THE LIGHT WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A LOOSE GAS CAP. THE DEALER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO GIVE IT A COUPLE DAYS AND IT WOULD MOST LIKELY TURN OFF. THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER 2 DAYS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY CYLINDER NUMBER 2 MISFIRING IN THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE.

THIS JEEP WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE PRIOR JEEP WAS LEMON LAW. THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AFTER ABOUT 3 WEEKS OF PURCHASE, THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. LIKE THE LAST JEEP, IT WOULD STALL CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD ALSO FREEZE (NAVIGATION AND RADIO) CONSTANTLY AND WOULD NOT FIX ITSELF UNLESS THE BATTERY WAS UNPLUGGED. SHAVE JEEP IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA UPGRADED THE ENGINE AND NAVIGATION SOFTWARE, BUT PROBLEMS RESUMED SHORT AFTER. SHAVER JEEP THEN INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD ONLY LOOK AT THE VEHICLE IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF SO IT WAS HARD TO TIME IT RIGHT TO BRING IT INTO THE SHOP. BECAUSE OF THIS "RULE," SHAVER JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR 7 TIMES. AS OF TODAY, THE CAR STALLED ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND PUT THE PASSENGERS IN DANGER. CONSTANT ENGINE CODE: CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *TR

MY ISSUE WITH THE JEEP IS THAT I BELIEVE IT HAS AN DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FLAW. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE THE LEVER IF BUMPED ACCIDENTALLY TO THE LEFT IT WILL DOWN SHIFT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 65 MPH'S THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD CAUSED THE DOWNSHIFT. THIS IS VERY HARD ON THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE NOT TO SAY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'M LEFT HANDED AND DRIVE SUCH, MANY TIMES I HAVE CAUGHT THE RIGHT SLEEVE OF MY SHIRT ON THE SHIFT LEVER AND HAVE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT . I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A LEVER OR BUTTON THAT SHOULD BE DEPRESSED TO ALLOW THE DOWNSHIFT TO OCCUR. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU! *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) IS ON WITH P0300 AND P0302 CODES, EXHAUST ESCAPING #2 PISTON HEAD- CAUSING ROUGH IDLING, CEL FLASHES, AND SEVERAL STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. FOUND OUT THIS IS "COMMON" ON PENTASTAR ENGINES, AND PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER TO MAKE REPAIRS, AND DEALERS LET PEOPLE DRIVE THE CAR INSTEAD OF PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THESE HEADS THAT HAVE NOW BEEN REDESIGNED IN MORE CURRENT BUILDS. LETTING PEOPLE DRIVE CARS THAT CAN STALL IN MOTION IS DANGEROUS. NOT HAVING PARTS READILY AVAILABLE WHEN THEY ARE HAVING 300 TO 400 OF THESE FAILURES A WEEK IS RIDICULOUS. THE ATTACHED LINK SHOWS THAT CHRYSLER HAD THIS PART SHORTAGE SINCE LAST SUMMER, AND IS NOT MEETING THE DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENTS EVEN NOW.

I BOUGHT MY BAND NEW 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 7 MONTHS AGO - BRAND NEW FROM THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED TO NOTICE THE ACCELERATION IS NOT 100%, THE WINDOWS STOP ROLLING UP OR DOWN FOR HOURS AT A TIME AT RANDOM TIME, THE BRAKES SOMETIMES DON'T WORK ALL THE WAY, THE ENGINE JUMPS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND MOST RECENTLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO PAST 1.5 EVEN WHEN FLOORING IT & THERE WERE LOUD CLICKING NOISES WITH A LOUD FAN. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP - I HAD TO TOW IT IN BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SHIP 3 TIMES FOR THEM TO CHECK ON THESE THINGS & EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN THEY TELL ME THEY ARE "UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEMS" & CANNOT HELP ME. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO COMPLAIN & REPORT ISSUES AND THEY EITHER TELL ME THEY CANNOT HELP ME, THEY PUT ME ON HOLD FOR AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME, I GO TO VOICEMAIL, OR NO ONE IS AVAILABLE. THEY CALLED ME TODAY, AFTER HAVING IT FOR 4 DAYS, AND TOLD ME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FOR A "EVAP PERG SYSTEM" SO THEY REPLACED A HOSE & UPDATED MY POWER CONTROL MODULE AS A PRECAUTION. WHEN I ASKED THEM HOW THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY ENGINE PROBLEMS HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY MY ENGINE HAS PROBLEMS HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT. NO ONE THERE WANTS TO HELP ME - WHAT I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE DOING IS GIVING ME EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE IN THE BOOK, STALLING ME FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN UNTIL MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I HAVE DEALT WITH 4 MANAGERS THERE - THE 1ST ONE STOPPED RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS, THE 2ND ONE TOLD ME I AM IMAGINING THINGS AND I SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING AND BE THANKFUL THAT I HAVE A NEW CAR, THE 3RD ONE POND ME OFF ONTO A 4TH ONE & THE 4TH ONE TOLD ME TO MY FACE THAT I AM A LIAR AND I AM MAKING UP STORIES SO THE SITUATION LOOKS WORSE THEN IT ACTUALLY IS. *TR

I STARTED THE ENGINE OF MY 2012 JEEP AND AS SOON I BEGAN TRAVELING WITH THE JEEP FLUIDS POURED FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE. I DID NOT NOTICE THIS UNTIL I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING 10 MINUTES. THE COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF AN ERROR OR ENGINE TROUBLE. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR I SAW A STEADY STREAM OF ORANGE LIQUID POURING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE. THIS FLUID WAS ENGINE COOLANT. I IMMEDIATELY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE STATION. MY JEEP HAS BEEN WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW. THE JEEP CANNOT BE FIXED DUE THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER HAS NO SPARE PARTS. *TR
