My engine oil is mixing into my coolant jug and radiator replaced the oil cooler housing and the issue still continues

While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost power, displayed a low oil pressure warning, and became inoperable. The vehicle had to be towed. Dealer initially claimed “overfilled oil,” but an independent oil analysis (Blackstone Labs) confirmed excessive fuel dilution (5.5%), indicating contamination of the oil system. This vehicle is covered by NHTSA Recalls 22V-406 (FCA Z46) and 23V-263 (FCA 01A) related to premature failure of the Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel pump. Recall documents state: “A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.” The vehicle’s failure aligns with this description. Dealer has not yet performed an HPFP inspection despite recall requirements. Request: NHTSA investigate whether fuel dilution and catastrophic failure are linked to the CP4 HPFP defect covered by these recalls.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable.

The contact had gone to the dealer three times for the recall repair before experiencing a failure with the vehicle; however, the part was not available for the recall repair. While awaiting the repair, while the contact's wife was driving approximately 60 MPH, there was a clanking sound coming from the engine compartment. The sound progressively grew louder. There was no warning light illuminated. On the fourth visit to the dealer, the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure, and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that parts were on backorder and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Cylinder 2 misfire

I was crossing a road to get to the median and my Jeep stopped moving in the middle of a 4 lane highway, separated by a median that I never made it to due to it stopping moving during acceleration. It made noise when I pressed on the gas pedal but didn’t go anywhere. I was hit by a car that couldn’t avoid me, and my daughter and I were injured in the crash. My daughter had a fracture in her right leg & facial bruising. I had a laceration requiring stitches and facial bruising, lost consciousness at the scene and am severely concussed. Progressive deemed my Jeep a total loss.

Car keeps jumping to nutral and then dies in the middle of the highway. Have to wiat like 5mins before trying to start. Once it starts ill drive for like 15mins then I happens again. No codes nor e gine light to see what the issue is. I'm lost at the mo and need the vehicle for jobs. Help!!!!!

I have owned this vehicle for 9 years and the vehicle has had an issue with the electronic fuel pump since I bought it. I would take pictures of the warning showing the error message. I have had the vehicle in the shop more than 10 times for the same symptoms and begged them to replace what the computer is saying was the problem. I have spent over $9,000 on repairs and I continue to get the same message, The check engine light is on continuously and every time I bring it in they say it is not that it is something else and they replace something not related. Then the recall came out for the High Pressure Fuel Pump which was apparently the issue for the entire time like the on board computer had been stating was the issue. I have replaced the Thermostat when there was no over heating issue, the alternator when there was no electrical issue, the Particulate filter because they said that was what was causing it to go into crawl mode which it still does periodically when it rains out. The recall was issued on 6/9/2022 and it is still not repaired. There is no telling what other internal damage was done over the 9 years of not replacing what was the issue the entire time.

My 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland EcoDiesel (VIN# [XXX] ) had a catastrophic engine failure at 96k miles (400 miles from home) on a family trip Friday [XXX] leaving us stranded far from home for the second time in the last year (first time was for a turbo coolant line that failed requiring me to leave my car in California for 3+ weeks while parts were on back order). I still have an active AEM Warranty from the emissions recalls a few years back that's good until 120k miles, however previous inquiries have stated that this warranty doesn't cover the engine failure and was given a repair estimate in excess of $30k+. Premature engine failures have been a very common problem of this series of vehicle, it was involved in the AEM class-action lawsuit, and had numerous recalls that are related to the engine and engine components. Myself and the Lithia Jeep Dealership staff in Grants Pass, OR were all shocked when the warranty claim was denied for this replacement given the number of EcoDiesel failures they had seen. With the systemic premature failures of these engines, the AEM class-action lawsuit updates, extent of recalls that are related to the engine and engine components, I have been disappointed in how Chrysler/Jeep have handled this situation, leaving the burden of their design flaws on their customers. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHEN STOPPING AND SUDDENLY ACCELRATING JEEP HAS A POWER DELAY AND YOU HAVE TO HIT THE THROTTLE AGRESSIVELY TO GET GOING OR ELSE I RUN THE RISK OF GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, BUT ONCE YOU HIT THROTTLE THE POWER IS MORE THAN YOU NEED IT OR EXPECTED IT, FORCING ME TO BRAKE OR ELSE I HIT THE PCAR INFRONT OF ME. I AM STILL NOT ABLE TO MAKE THIS WORK. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED, I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND I BARELY USE IT BECAUSE I FIND IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT TIME. THE POWER DOESNT COME WHEN I NEED IT BUT WHEN I DO ITS TOO MUCH, FEELS LIKE I FLOORED IT AND I HAVE MANAGED NOT TO CRASH BUT ITS SOMETHING SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

While driving on the freeway, I heard a quiet noise but saw no warning messages on the dash. I decided to pull over and found the vehicle had shifted into neutral and lost power steering. The vehicle was towed to a AAA service center. They discovered that the safety recall W79 / NHTSA 20V-699 Diesel ECR cooler had been replaced but failed again, requiring a complete engine replacement. The recall was repaired in May 2022, and the part failed in July 2024, two months outside the warranty. The dealer where we bought the vehicle and had the recall serviced won't return my calls.

- The Diesel Engine failed or malfunctioned. New/current engine is available for inspection but no longer have dead engine. Was removed by Jeep dealership. - I Was driving with my kids and as I was about to park in the lot, thick black smoke started coming from the hood of my jeep. My kids started screaming and I immediately turned off the vehicle and got my kids out, because I wasn't sure if it was going to blow up or what would happen. Called USAA to tow vehicle to dealership. - Problem was confirmed by the dealer - I have never got my vehicle serviced by anyone else besides the dealer/manufacture (DCH Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Temecula) - the vehicle and component was inspected by the manufacture (DCH Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat) - There was absolutely NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS OR SIGNES THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN prior to the failure. (CHECK ALL RECORDS AT DEALERSHIP) ALL SERVICE COMPLAINTS ARE DOCUMENTED at (DCH Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Temecula).

Jeep dealership is unable to remedy this recall that has been an issue for over 2 years. My jeep was at dealership for month and still no repair parts they have no ETA on specific parts needed for recall as they don’t get notified about the part for my vin number. I am stuck with an unsafe jeep due to unable to be fixed. Need a remedy to fix this I am losing out on money not having a safe vehicle for me and my family to drive in

The engine kicks like the injectors are blocked or something. It happens in idle and all speeds, including highway speeds. It is not speed related. However, I am reporting this because it jerks the car at highway speeds and this is dangerous. I have one occurring trouble light regarding the oil pump but it’s not related. Something is troubling this engine like there is debris in the fuel line but all of my recalls have been fulfilled.

Purchased a 2015 jeep grand Cherokee. At around 65k miles vehicle started making a ticking sound. Vehicle was also stalling when accelerating from a stop, usually when making a right turn but also when trying to press gas to gain speed quickly like when entering the highway. There is a known issue with this model where the rocker arm fails and damages the cam shaft. Engine light went on so contacted the dealer and Brought the car in for a recall repair. I drove out of the dealership and the engine light went back on. Brought the jeep back and was told engine issue wasn’t covered under warranty and repairs would cost $5k. I’m contacting the DMV automotive facilities inspector to file a complaint on the dealership and will be contacting a lawyer regarding a class action lawsuit unless I get a resolution to this issue. I drive my 3 small children around every day in this car.

tone ring issue not resolved

Th cylinder has low compression causing misfire in the vehicle. The misfire can cause the vehicle to lose power. If you lose power on a highway it could cause an accident. This has not happened to me, but I have read the cyinder issue is a common problem with the 2015 jeep grand cherokee Seems like bad parts. A mechanic has ascertained the problem with my vehicle. If this is a common problem why has the manufacturer not fixed the problem and inspected these parts?

Driving on highway 290 West near Waller. At 75mph I attempted to pass slower traffic by accelerating after moving into the farthest left (passing) lane when my Jeep lost power. Had to maneuver while coasting between traffic in lanes (frogger anyone?) to farthest right lane by coasting through to an exit by chance. Would not restart while coasting. Traffic line formed behind me for those also seeking same exit I needed at the last second. I was unable to fully move into shoulder because of debris seen and fear of damage to tires. After coasting to a full stop a quarter mile from Love's Truckstop, put vehicle in park, and was able to restart after hesitation. Engine light on with my reader stating "confirmed" codes P0336, U1401; and a "pending" code of P05ED. Now takes 3-5 seconds to start when used to be "instantly." In a nutshell, this was not fun. :| Note to manufacturer , please stop skimping out on quality.

See attached document for complaint

I have been trying to get this recall fixed for over two years not. I have received over four notices from FCA via US Mail. Each time I go to the dealer, Planet Jeep, in Flagstaff, AZ I am told that there are no parts available and they cannot do anything. The first three times I was told that I would be put on waiting list however when I checked last week they said there is no record of me even commig in for it. I tried to call FCA directly on the phone number listed to call for help with the recall. The FCA rep said all I need to do is go into the dealer to get it fixed. I explained to her the issue and she put me on hold and called dealer directly. The dealer at Planet Jeep stated same thing, there are no parts available and I would be put on a list. I asked FCA if I could escalate this and she said there is no recourse for recall issues. I want to sell my Jeep however no one will purchase when I disclose the missing recall which is the high pressure fuels system and very serious as there have been issues of vehicles stalling on the freeway speeds and causing accidents. I think two years and several attempts to fix this is unreasonable. I am requesting your assistance.

The rocker arm is defected causing ticking noise and Known by manufacturer that it is due to fail but still built car with faulty part. Cost thousands to fix

After an oil change, my jeep starting ticking. I've read of several recalls. My jeep is having all 10 of the recall issues.

While returning home from vacation, the high pressure fuel pump on my vehicle failed. This happened while in heavy traffic traveling 70mph on I-95. This incident left myself, my husband, and my four month old infant at the time stranded on the I-95 shoulder in 90 degree heat for three hours. My husband was barely able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder after all power was lost and the car was billowing smoke. The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The dealer inspected and replaced the high pressure fuel pump and other fuel system components four months later but failed to inspect other engine components for damage related to the high pressure fuel pump failing. Because of the lack of thorough inspection, when the service person at the dealer started the engine again, the engine completely failed. The dealer and Jeep are refusing to honor the recall and repair my engine due to a recalled item failing. Prior to the high pressure fuel pump imploding and ripping shrapnel through the entire fuel system and engine, a yellow check engine light came on. While trying to find a safe place to pull over while traveling 70mph in heavy traffic on I-95, diesel began pouring out of the bottom of the vehicle, smoke started billowing out of the engine, a handful of warning lights flashed across the screen, and all power was lost to the car. This happened in less than approximately 5mins/10miles from the yellow check engine light initially appearing. Prior to this incident, there were no sounds or warning signs that there was something internally wrong with the engine.

The oil cooler located on top of the engine intake failed and began leaking oil. The part of the oil cooler that failed was made out of plastic. The top of the engine gets very hot which likely caused the plastic to become brittle and fail. Oil began leaking all over the motor and onto the exhaust pipes. I could smell burning oil and worried it could cause a fire once I realized what was happening. The repair shop said that they fix so many of these and they are not even a dealer, nor could they understand how a recall has not been issued on this item. The component was not inspected by anyone other than the mechanics at the repair shop. The replacement was an aftermarket made out of aluminum and not plastic like the oil cooler that failed. There were no warning lamps indicating there was a problem. When I saw the oil under my vehicle and the smell of burnt oil on the exhaust pipes I brought the vehicle to the repair shop.

The driver's side cylinder head failed and engine oil began leaking down the engine and onto the exhaust pipes. The cylinder head was kept by the dealership and is not available for inspection. My safety was put at risk of a vehicle fire from the fresh oil leaking onto the exhaust manifold and piping. I could smell the burning oil and saw it dipping under my vehicle. The dealer did not say that this was a systemic problem, but it is well documented on the internet that this is a common problem from this model (2015) Jeep Grand Cherokee. The component was not inspected by anyone other than the dealership that determined it had to be replaced. The engine light came on letting me know there was an issue with the engine. I brought the vehicle to the dealership within a few days.

The oil filter housing assembly cracked. I noticed oil leaking yet my oil light would never come on . I took it to be looked at and they had to replace the housing component. I was told that this has been a common problem with vehicles and for me to keep all receipts . If I didn’t pay close attention to my vehicle I could have ruined the engine with the amount of oil that I was loosing. Especially since no warning light was being displayed.

FCA has had an open recall (Z46/NHTSA 22V-406) for over 14 months. They are unable to provide necessary parts and as such potentially unsafe vehicles must be driven by owner and these vehicles are unable to be traded/sold due to open safety recall. FCS Recall Assistance and Chrysler Group Customer Care for Jeep have been contacted with no resolution and no anticipated date for resolution.

Loud ticking noise from engine that speeds up upon acceleration. Failing rocker arm causing debris leading to ticking noise. No error codes. Upon personal investigation online, have found "Pentastar Tick" to be a known problem in 2013-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokees on Jeep forums. Problem can lead to misfire while driving, including jerking, damage to cam shaft, as well as engine damage.

Valve lifter failure at 93,000 miles. $2,700 repair. Is apparently a very common problem with the 3.6l Pentastar engine. Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision warning system front sensor failed at 56,000 miles, failed again at 76,000 miles and failed a third time at 95,000 miles. First two failures were replaced under warranty, third failure happened 1 week after warranty expiration from second replacement. Cost is too expensive to repair ($3,000 for new sensor) and requires that safety feature be turned off as sensor will perceive increases in road elevation (hills) as another vehicle and apply the brakes

Car accelerated without warning propelling me across a curb, street, then a second curb. The SUV was stopped upon impact at a concrete building. Fortunately there was no injury to others but the accident caused the car to be totalled by my insurance company. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The airbags did not deploy upon impact,

Vehicle has 143,345 and engine started ticking from valvetrain on drivers side. It is a known issue with the 3.6 liter V6. Will probably have to pay out of pocket to have rockers, lifters and camshafts replaced.

While driving vehicle shuts off unexpectedly, with steering wheel losing power steering. It will then have trouble starting again. Turning on and off by itself. It will then work just fine after 15-20 minutes.. It has been doing this every few months for a couple years now. I have taken to dealer a couple times, and they have had me change battery initially. But can’t give me a reason why it keep happening after that. Most recently, once I was able to work again after it had shit off on me while driving, it would then not shut off. I could not turn the car off. I took to dealer, and eventually it turned off. It is at dealer currently at time of this writing.

We were driving and we heard a chime and nothing showed on the display panel. Then we went thru the displays and saw a message regarding the ACC something about manual something. Then we lost power. Since we were on the highway We turned the truck off and started it again to potentially reset. We drove a couple blocks to exit the highway and lost power again. The we got out of the vehicle and smelled smoke. We peaked under the hood and saw fire. We all got out, grabbed our stuff and then the fire spread and engulfed the truck. Total loss.

Check engine light code P06DE occurred 04/2022. Oil pressure sensor removed And replaced. Check engine light code P06DE occurred 05/2022. Performed 2nd oil change in less than 1 month.

05/2023 loud ticking noise coming from top right side of engine. Replaced transfer case module. Ticking sound continued. Check engine light code P0523 occurred 06/2023. Known issue with Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L: rocker arms and right intake camshaft failure

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Additionally, the contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

3.6L Pentastar engine is defective. In October 2020 (55,000 miles), there was a ticking noise coming from engine and reduced engine power. Fields Jeep Dodge Ram Chrysler replaced right intake camshaft and 6 lifters, rockers, and related gaskets. In April 2021, I noticed same ticking noise; brought back to dealership; dealership found "nothing wrong." In March 2022 (70,000 miles) I heard same ticking noise; brought to dealership; insisted something was wrong. SURPRISE! This time, ALL (12) ENGINE lifters/rockers/gaskets & camshafts replaced. Now, May 2023 (80,000 miles) there is, again, ticking in engine/loss of power; this time there is a noticeable bucking and surging when the engine is cold. There were no warning lights or messages on the dashboard to indicate impending engine failure. Symptoms I experienced were loss of engine power, ticking, and bucking/surging. I WISH someone from NHSTA would come and inspect the car. Safety issues can arise if the engine fails while being driven - increased risk of stalling, loss of motive power, obviously collision, any number of things. On two separate occasions, Jeep dealership identified and "fixed" the issue with the same faulty parts that caused the problem in the first place. Other than the dealership, no one else has inspected the vehicle. This issue is ongoing and will continue to occur as a result of an inherently faulty engine design, for which the only remedy is to fix it with the same defective parts.

The oil cooler is leaking and shooting oil around the engine compartment making a lot of smoke. Not sure if there was fire or not. I went to the 2 repair shops and both said that they are inundated with the same problem from jeep owners and the parts are very expensive and hard to get. I was told not to drive the car because it could cause a fire, and I cannot afford the repair. The Chrysler corporation should take responsibility. This is a major safety issue, and now I am stuck with a vehicle that is too dangerous to drive.

On April 24, 2023, while driving 53 mph down a busy highway the car just lost all power. I wasn’t able to control the vehicle then I stepped on the brakes but only if the back brakes worked. Which caused the vehicle to spin out of control until I eventually flipped the vehicle upside down into a ditch. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced. Besides the fact my drivers side head rest and seat bell we’re also broken at the time. I was going to the dealership on April 26th to have both the headrest and seat belt fixed. It’s also the second time the car lost power. In addition to that my headlights, rear lights, & windshield wipers, would suddenly stop working then work again. I totaled my Jeep and I’m now out of a vehicle since I had a active loan of the vehicle. I was suppose to be done with my payments in Aug of 2025. I don’t ever want anyone to experience what I went thru. I’m very very grateful and fortunate that I wasn’t seriously injured or killed because of this problem.

Transmission suddenly stopped accelerating when pressing pedal. In reverse suddenly began making a whirring sound. 155,000 miles

The vehicle has a significant safety recall out with no timely identified repair offered. Jun 09,2022 Manufacturer Recall NumberZ46 NHTSA Recall Number22V-406 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available How can the manufacturer expect people to feel safe driving with the possibility of a unplanned sudden stop putting their lives, their passengers lives and the lives of other travelers on the road at risk. If Jeep can't fix the issue they should replace the vehicles.

We have been unable to drive the vehicle for 9 months out of 12 due to it being in the shop. The latest was a OBDC of "Improper DEF used see dealership". It was at 3 different shops to remedy the issue the final one being Lithia Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge of Missoula #134. Even with the extended warranty they WOULD NOT cover the expense even though it was their warranty. We were told it was for labor, but labor was supposed to be covered. There is also a "Stop Sale" in place so we cannot even drive the vehicle anymore due to lack of power. The dealership and FCA told us that this was "NORMAL" and we just "HAD TO LET THE VEHICLE WARM UP FIRST" I have owned and operated diesel vehicles for a better part of 28 years. I have NEVER had to do this. I cannot put my families lives at risk with this POS. Right now as it is, we are. making payments on insurance and and vehicle payments on an SUV we cannot drive. I can give specific dates, times and conversations as well as email threads from FCA trying to handle the situation to no avail.

While in motion, vehicle lost all power; the engine stalled, brakes failed and lost power steering. The vehicle shifted into neutral. I put the vehicle back in drive and it went back to neutral. I turned the ignition off and restarted. My husband was driving and I was in the passenger seat, with my 5 year old daughter in the backseat. If there had been oncoming traffic, we’d have hit them head on.

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Engine Issue with ticking, loss of power -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Definitely it could affect me, my family and you when it stop any moment in the road, i did check dealer and mechanics shop abut the issue and mention it happen with other engine with same part number and i cannot afford paying a whole engine. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No -Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No

THERE IS A RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP DELIVERY. MYVWIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ARAPAHOE CHRYSLER AUTONATION JEEP, PARTS SUPPOSEDLY ARE ON BACK ORDER HOWEVER WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS.

Vehicle only has 38,000 miles and suddenly had visible oil leaking from underneath. No warning lights came on but I took to service center for inspection. The oil filter housing was found to be defective and "leaking badly". Technician informed me that because the component is plastic vs. metal it is a known defect in my vehicle make/model. I also confirmed many complaints of same issue in online forums. I contacted manufacturer but since vehicle is out of warranty they would not assist. Service provider stated the issue is of significant safety risk as engine could lose all oil, overheat, and become undriveable. Cost to repair=$1800

The oil filter housing in the Jeep Gladiator, Wrangler, and Grand Cherokee is known to have serious problems and safety concerns. The Pentastar oil filter housing used in these vehicles can crack and warp due to heat exposure and this can lead to serious oil leaks. Despite knowing about this issue, the company has never issued a recall, instead, they have discontinued the production of the Pentastar and redesigned the oil filter housing for newer vehicle models. https://vehiclefreak.com/jeep-oil-filter-housing-recall-guide-2013-to-2017/?fbclid=IwAR372r_Z1vlEwSsMz6HmMA6_Vn1IEqL3SnyNYNGCuCVbH25-F7cUtjkhzpU

At a speed of 30mph, was slowing down coming up to a red light, as the brakes were being pressed the motor began to rev up and try to accelerate despite me fully pressing the brakes. I had to put the vehicle in neutral and shut it down. I merely missed hitting another vehicle. I called the dealer who had no information for me. No warning lights were on or prior to the reving and acceleration of the vehicle as I was trying to come to a stop at a red light. I am reading numerous forums of Jeep owners reporting the same issue. This really should be investigated before someone is seriously injured or killed, which maybe there have been reports of such already. In my case, there was no injury or damage because I was lucky enough to have no vehicle beside me and had a place to vere off to to pull over quickly. If that hadn’t been the case, an accident would have occurred. I can’t say if this vehicle has malfunctioned like this previously because I purchased 2 days ago.

Noticed a wet substance under the hood and a smell of oil/antifreeze (couldn’t determine either or) coming from vents prior to purchase. I was told it would be looked at and taken care of. After purchase I noticed a heavy leak under the vehicle and when i touched it, I again smelled the same oil/antifreeze. I took it back to the dealership and they replaced the radiator. It continued to produce a leak, and chose to stop and get a diagnosis and they said it was the oil cooler. I then chose to return it to the dealership for repair and they insist it was left over spillings from the previous repair. It still has that same wet substance dripping from under the vehicle. I’m concerned about the safety of my life if it is indeed the oil cooler.

While driving down the road my car will shift into Neutral while going at at full speed driving down the freeway, and loses all power. I have to pull over on the side of the road turn the car off and restart. This has happened 6 times and is very dangerous. There are multiple dates that this has happened. It looks as though this should fall under NHTSA recall #16V529000?

car engine has a sound of tapping. I research on YouTube ，it is rocker arms ticking when rocker arms broken. many complains about this problem of jeep v6 3.6 engines. it can cause engine brake down.

Plastic Oil Cooler leaking. This is a $800 repair, and seems to be a very common problem among Jeep Grand Cherokees.

Oil leak from oil filter cooler housing it has been recalled on 2014 jeeps but not the 2015 and it is the same issue

The oil cooler fails resulting in the entire cooling system being filled with the oil from the engine and possibly contaminating the engine oil with coolant. Even after the oil cooler is replaced the entire cooling system must be thoroughly flushed and have multiple parts replaced. It is a safety hazard because there is no warning, the oil cooler fails and all you engine oil is gone. Which will lead to catastrophic engine failure and possibly fire from the heat produced from the friction.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while the vehicle was in park (P), she started the vehicle and the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact attempted to turn the vehicle off, and the vehicle would not shift into neutral (N). The contact stated that multiple attempts were needed to turn the vehicle off and restart the vehicle. The vehicle then started operating as designed. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Mileage: 98,000

The contact's son owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while her son was driving 60-65 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. The ABS, traction control, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle decelerated to 30 MPH and stalled while driving on an uphill ramp. The vehicle failed to restart, causing another vehicle to strike the driver's side of the vehicle. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was pushed downhill with the assistance of a police patrol. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine was blown and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the dealer diagnosed that the thermostat, radiator, starter, and motor mounts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

There is loud ticking/tapping noise coming from the engine when in motion or when the engine idles. This vehicle was not inspected by the dealer (out of warranty) or the police but was inspected by my mechanic and is available for inspection anytime, upon request. At time, the noise become extremely loud and scary and is a cause for great concern, especially knowing that this vehicle is mostly driven daily on the highway for at least 1 hour one way. This noise suddenly appeared about 9 year ago as a slight ticking/tapping but got progressively worse.

The vehicle has an oil leak problem which may be caused by the defect of cylinder head gasket, and some of other engine gaskets. The oil seal is problematic for this model.

Hello I’ve seen some oil leakage all over engine of car. Mechanic stated the oil filter housing has to be replaced but not covered under jeep warranty. car is driving ok for now .I’m at 79,000 miles. I’m concerned that this may become a bigger issue especially fire hazard when driving car.I’ve see similar issue on 2 other jeeps grand cherokees. I have not seen it come up as a recall but have seen multiple complaints.I feel that this is a mechanical issue and should be covered by Jeep.

The hydraulic lifter is failing causing the cam shaft to fail and need to be replaced. This is making a ticking noise and will only get worse. Chrysler knows this issue exists in the 3.6L pentastar V6 engines but will not recall and fix it.

While driving on the highway, the car suddenly started to generate a weird noise from the engine, and at the same time I was losing power, this was at 65mph. Now, the vehicle cannot go above 35mph without pushing down on the gas pedal. The RPM needle also doesn't move much. May be a Crankshaft Position Sensor issue as with the 3.0L engines.

The oil cooler/ oil filter housing cracked. My 2015 Jeep only has 49,000 miles on it. This is a huge safety problem. The oil leaked all over the transmission case and the exhaust. It was smoking really bad, this is a fire hazard!!! I found out that there has been many complaints on this issue and should be recalled for safety. The dealership told me to have it towed in because you can not drive it because it can catch on fire. Not good, someone can really get hurt!!! Recall this product.

Driving my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, in Oct 2021 and this weekend, slipped into neutral while driving on the highway at 50+ mph and wouldnt shift back into drive. displaying the message 'VEHICLE SPEED IS TOO HIGH TO SHIFT' while at full stop Stop sign Both times trying to restart it, the engine would rev violently and shut off, only to restart after a few minutes and drive as normal. Both times in high moving traffic, narrowly avoiding traffic. The 2nd time I was on the NY Triboro bridge and used road flares to alert traffic Called the dealer and they claimed to have never heard of this before. Couldnt find any issues or replicate the issue. attached are several issues of other drivers having the same issue and still @Jeepc laims no knowledge. Does someone have to die to fix this issue

Bad Lifters and rockers on left camshaft caused loud engine tick/knock. Occurred at 62000 miles. An apparent KNOWN common Jeep FCA problem for 2015 JGC WK. Hard/ rough transmission downshift from 3rd-2nd gear along with loud bang noise. Downshift is so violent it causes your foot to slip off the brake pedal when braking. Occurred at 67000 miles. Another known common problem for 2015 JGC WK. This is a dangerous vehicle and should be recalled for these issues before someone is seriously injured or an accident results in death.

Once the shifter was moved into "Drive" , the transmission would automatically swith it to "Park" that would not allow any movement! It happened on the same day to all three of us. Several hours later, the transmission seemed to work. Waiting for diagnostic service at Umansky Jeep in Charlottesville, VA. This shifter movement could potentially lead to an accident! We occasionally tow a trailer and risk to other motorists and us would be substanstial! Please initiate invastigation sincere there a multiple complainst related to transmission.

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. While traveling down the highway at approximately 65mph, the entire dash began to blink in and out, all kinds of error symbols flashed, I lost power steering and the car switched itself in to neutral – this resulted in an accident. This car has been In and out of the shop for the past several months. Every time it looks like it fixed, the car’s computer seems to do as it pleases. I lose driving power, it switches itself in neutral or the dash throws error symbols. I am at a point where paying for constant ‘repairs’ and insurance is becoming way too costly. I do NOT feel safe riding with my family in this car!!!

The part that failed is identified as the Oil Cooler, I will request the dealer provide the defective unit. The part number for the Oil Cooler 68211323AB. There are two areas that would pose a safety concern when the Oil Cooler fails. When the Oil Cooler fails, oil is let into the cooling system. The oil level continues to fall to a point where it is very likely the engine will seize. There is no check engine indicator, the oil temperature indicator shows no rise in temperature. You would not know that there is any problem, If that happens while the vehicle is in motion it could prove to put occupants in jeopardy of injury. The second area of concern, as the oil bleeds into the cooling system it is unable to adjust for the additional fluid. The cooling system reservoir fills up and begins to overflow each time the vehicle is started and driven. The reservoir overflow is in the front right side of the engine compartment. When car is parked the oil flows on to everything that is below it. But when the car is in motion the oil covers the right side of the engine compartment. The result of the overflow could lead to a fire in the engine compartment, Oil on the rotor and brake could result in the malfunction of the brake mechanism. With oil in the cooling system the smell of diesel is very strong in the passage compartment. This may, lead to headaches, nausea, and eye irritation. The dealer did confirm the problem and provided a quote of $8600 to repair. The car has been inspected by and independent mechanic and the dealer’s mechanic. As noted earlier there was no warning that a problem was occurring. The first sign of a problem was on the 17th of September. A large oil spill in my garage.

The oil cooler failed with no warning, no check engine indication. All indicators returned normal readings. Without a warning you continue to drive while your oil levels are falling. All of your oil goes into your cooling system. The chances are very high that you will have your engine seize. At a minimum the failure causes major repair issues, if it can be repaired at all. One of the more troubling out come of the failure, the oil will eventually over flow the coolant reservoir into the engine compartment. The oil is everywhere in the engine compartment. This alone would present a number of safety issues. My car is currently at the dealer, I was quoted $8,600 to repair and replace all affected parts. My research has turn up a number of jeep, chrsyler and ram truck owners are or have experienced this failure.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while getting a routine oil change shortly after, the warning light for a throttle box illuminated. The contact stated that in the past after getting the same oil change, the warning light for the tire pressure sensor light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who determined no failure indicated for the tires. The contact stated that every time they brought the vehicle in for inspection no failure was indicated despite the contact filling the tires with air. The contact stated that while driving on the freeway when they were attempting to drive the speed limit of 65 mph their vehicle could not accelerate beyond being between 45-50 mph. The contact was able to pull off the ramp where the vehicle eventually came to a seize. The vehicle began to smoke on the front end. The vehicle never turned into a full-blown fire however it did remain extremely overheated for a total of about 2 days. There were no injuries or medical attention needed. There was no police report. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed that the head gasket had blown and the engine had melted. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.

Mileage: 117,000

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that she heard a loud vibrating noise coming from the engine compartment while driving at various speeds.

THIS 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE EGR SYSTEM (RECALL W79). ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (TURNERSVILLE JEEP) FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12 2021. THIS DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. THIS DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE EGR SYSTEM UNDER THE W79 RECALL, BUT DID REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL TUBES AFTER FINDING THE FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED. THIS DEALER THEN CLEARED THE DTC P026C-00 AND PERFORMED A STATIONARY REGENERATION. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AT 5:15 PM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2021 AND PROCEEDED TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES OF DRIVING, I SUFFERED A EXTEME AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM; THE DASH INDICATORS INCLUDED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN ERROR REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND AN ERROR THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AS I COASTED TO A STOP, SMOKE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY POUR FROM THE HOOD COVER AND BEGAN TO ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE HVAC VENTS. I VACATED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND UNDER SOME DURESS. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND I COULD SEE IT CONTINUE TO ENTER THE CABIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED BY FLATBED TO PELLEGRINO JEEP. I SPOKE WITH THE PELLEGRINO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I OPENED CASE #78239258 WITH FCA (JEEP) US LLC CUSTOMER SERVICE. AS OF JANUARY 20 AT 11:30 AM, I DO NOT HAVE FEEDBACK ON THIS CASE. THE DEALER HAS ALSO PROVIDED NO COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED A FAILURE DUE TO THE INABILITY OF FCA AND IT'S DEALERS TO REMEDIATE RECALL W79.

I WAS TRAVELING AT A 60MPH SPEED ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY OIL TEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND READ 285 DEGREES IN MY OPTIONS LIST YET THE STATIONARY OIL TEMP READ IN THE MIDDLE. I PULLED OVER, LET THE ENGINE COOL, CHECKED THE OIL AND COOLANT (ALL FINE). AFTER 45 MINUTES, IT COOLED TO ABOUT 130 DEGREES, SO I CONTINUED ON. I DROVE ABOUT A MILE WHEN IT HEATED BACK UP AGAIN, THE JEEP JERKED, SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE ENGINE, AND IT TURNED OFF. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT DIED. SINCE I WAS OUT OF STATE TRAVELING AND IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING, I NEEDED TO FIND A PLACE TO STAY IF MY JEEP WOULD START (IT DID). I FOUND A HOTEL 3 MILES AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. THE ENGINE HAD COOLED, I HAD OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW NO DAMAGE. I DROVE 35MPH FOR THE 3 MILES AS I WATCHED THE OIL TEMP CLIMB. I MADE IT TO THE HOTEL, WAS PARKING WHEN THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE. I OPENED THE WINDOWS, SHUT OFF THE JEEP AND GOT OUT. I DID SEE FLAMES COME OUT OF THE HOOD AND SOMETHING ON FIRE FELL FROM UNDER THE ENGINE AREA. I CALLED 911. SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACTUALLY PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THEY STILL PROCEEDED TO DOUSE THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL (W79) ON THE 2015 ECODIESEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR THE (ERG) EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLERS THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THERMAL FATIGUE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE COOLER TO CRACK, ALLOW PREHEATED, VAPORIZED COOLANT TO INTERACT WITH OTHER HYDROCARBONS AND AIR IN THE SYSTEM THAT MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE. THIS RECALL WAS NOT SCHEDULED TO OFFICIALLY BE RELEASED UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2020. 20 DAYS AFTER MY JEEP FIRE.

I AM HAVING CONSTANT VALVE TAPPING IN MY ENGINE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR WARM, IT TAPS CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE 114,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, BUT HAVE KEPT UP ON ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE INCLUDING THE REQUIRED SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES ON MY JEEP, SO IT'S NOT DRIVEN HARD. I JUST DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE TAPPING WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILEAGE.

RECEIVED A RECALL 1 MONTH GO BUT THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR-NO PARTS!! RECALL W58 "A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING" NOW I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE TO WORK BUT NO WAY TO GET IT REPAIRED???

THE TUBE HAS APPROXIMATE 3" RUBBER LINE WHICH IS EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND OVER TIME FAILS, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. REPAIR COST OF $1101.72. AFTER REPLACING THE HOSE AND COMPLETING THE REPAIR, I STILL HAD A COOLANT LEAK. THIS TIME IT APPEARED TO BE THE WATER PUMP. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET THE PURCHASE THE PUMP AND THERE WAS A MECHANIC NOTE STATING TO CHECK THE WATER PUMP SEALS AS IT IS KNOWN TO HAVE A PINCHED SEAL WHICH CAUSES LEAKAGE. TO REPLACE THE SEALS, THE MECHANIC HAS TO REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE COVERS IN FRONT OF THE WATER PUMP BEFORE THE PUMP CAN BE REMOVED (LABOR INTENSIVE). UP UNTIL I HAD THE VO8 RECALL I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS. I ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SERVICE DEF SYSTEM ALERT.

THE TURBO LAG IS HORRIBLE, SOMETIMES 1-3 SECONDS, SOMETIMES 4 OR 5. TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHERE IT WANTS TO BE AT TIMES. NONE OF THE ISSUES ARE CONSTANT AND THEREFORE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU PULL INTO TRAFFIC IF YOU WILL HAVE THE POWER NEEDED OR STALL AND GET HIT. SAFETY HAZARD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT AND FAMILIES WILL BE HURT OVER THIS POOR ATTEMPT AT A "FIX". JEEP WAS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE AND HAD MORE TORQUE READILY AVAILABLE PRIOR TO THE RECALL.

VEHICLE EXHIBITED WHAT FELT LIKE A HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. JOLT WAS CONCERNING ENOUGH THAT DRIVER HAD TO APPLY ADDITIONAL BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN COMING TO A FULL STOP. TECHNICIAN AT REPAIR FACILITY DISCOVERED THAT JOLT FELT BY OPERATOR WAS ACTUALLY ENGINE MOVING SIGNIFICANTLY DUE TO DEFECTIVE HYDRAULIC ENGINE ISOLATORS (ENGINE MOUNTS MOPAR P/N 68252522AA). MOUNTS WERE REPLACED AND PROBLEM NO LONGER DETECTED. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE WK2 MODEL OF THE JEEP AND TYPICALLY OCCURS APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) YEARS AFTER DATE OF MANUFACTURE. OPERATOR'S CONCERN IS THAT INADEQUATELY OR UNSECURED ENGINE SHIFT COULD CAUSE COLLISION OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

EMISSION CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR SMALL EVAPORATION EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK P0456 FAULT CODE. ALSO, FUEL TANK WONT FILL WITH FUEL AT HIGHER NOZZLE FLOW RATES... POSSIBLY DUE TO TANK CHECK VALVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISQUALIFY THE EMISSION TEST FOR THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT OBTAINING A LICENCE PLATE RENEWAL.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECO DIESEL STARTED TO MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A MINUTE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF STILL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER THE CAR WAS STUCK IN GEAR, WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD A SMALL OIL LEAK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR HAD ENGINE DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS LESS THAN 33,000 MILES AND STILL HAS ORIGINAL TIRES, AND BRAKES. ALL OIL CHANGE SERVICES WERE PERFORMED AS SUGGESTED. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER AUGUST 4TH, 2015.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT HAS A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH START. IT LOCKED UP AND IT COULD NOT BE TOWED BECAUSE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT GET IT IN NATURAL TO MOVE IT. I WAS STRANDED FOR 12 HOURS WITH NOTHING TO EAT OR DRINK BEFORE I GOT HELP. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN AND I WAS ALONE IN A VERY BAD AREA AT THE TIME. UNLESS THE VEHICLE STARTED IT WOULD DO NOTHING AND COULD NOT BE TOWED. JEEP NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS VERY UNSAFE SYSTEM. THEY SHOULD BE MADE PUT IN AN OVERRIDE SWITCH OR BE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH A KEY. I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND I WAS GOING TO START ON A 500 MILE TRIP THAT DAY. VERY GOOD THING IT HAPPEN WHEN IT DID. THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ALONG THE ROAD WITH NO HELP. ALL PUSH BUTTON STARTS NEED A BACKUP TO GET OUT OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I UNLOCKED THE DOOR GET IN AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND NOTHING. ALL KIND OF LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DISPLAYED A LOT OF THINGS THAT WOULD NOT WORK. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO IN OR OUT OF GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A 2-LANE ROAD, OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN GOING OFF SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY, AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND PUT IN A SAFE CONDITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE ENGINE STALLED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF TROUBLESHOOTING WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERING, OUR SHOP BELIEVES THEY HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE, WHICH IS A FAULTY TONE WHEEL IN THE DRIVETRAIN, AT WHERE THE ENGINE COUPLES TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE TONE WHEEL LOST ABOUT 1/4" OF ENCODED MAGNETIC MATERIAL, AND THIS MADE THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE, EVEN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS FAILURE THREW NO CODES TO THE COMPUTER FOR THE TECHNICIAN TO INTERPRET, AND THE ONLY SYMPTOM IS THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT FIRE, EVEN THOUGH, AS A DIESEL, THERE IS NO SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM.

WE BOUGHT OUR GRAND CHEROKEE AT FALLS MOTOR CITY AND THEY OFFERED US A FREE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AT 7000 MILES WE TOOK IT IN HAD THE OIL CHANGE. DEALER NEVER RESET OIL LIGHT DROVE IT HOME NEXT DAY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. FOUND OIL IN EVERYTHING. TOOK TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALER THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE SAYING THAT WAS ISSUE. THAT DIDNT FIX IT. SECOND TIME THEY CHANGED CRANKCASE SENSOR SINCE IT HAD OIL IN IT. STILL DIDNT FIX IT. 3RD TIME THEY REPLACED THE CRANKCASE COVER FOR OIL CAP SINCE IT WAS LEAKING. AFTER 7000 MILES THEY FOUND THAT THE JEEP HAD 11 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO ONLY HAVE 8 IN IT. THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS 8 QUARTS BUT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAS MORE THEN 8 QUARTS IN THEIR ECO DIESEL. DUE TO THIS WE HAD LOST 5MPG AND USED EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF DEF. FALLS MOTOR CITY SAID THAT THERE WONT BE ANY ISSUE NOW THAT THE OTHER DEALER PUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL IN IT. THERE IS STILL OIL IN EVERYTHING. THE MILEAGE HAS GONE BACK UP SOME BUT STILL NOT GETTING WHAT IT USED TO BE. IM WORRIED NOW THAT LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD THE MOTOR WILL FAIL OR SOMETHING ON THE MOTOR WILL FAIL DUE TO OIL BEING PUSHED EVERYWHERE ELSE SINCE IT WAS OVERFILLED. THIS ALL HAPPENED BACK IN OCTOBER 2015 AND JUST THE END OF JAN IS WHEN EVERYTHING WAS FIGURED OUT TOO MUCH OIL WAS PUT IN. ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS CHRYSLER MESSED UP AND HAD IN THEIR SYSTEMS THAT THE ECO DIESEL WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 11 QUARTS AND NOT 8 SINCE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE HAD THAT MUCH PUT IN ALSO AT THE DEALER. IT SAYS 8 QUARTS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL.

I BOUGHT A NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE CAR GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN! THANK GOD FOR BRAKES AS THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CAR WITH ONE THAT IS IDENTICAL. IT IS BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 WEEKS AND IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE OTHER ONE. IT GETS STUCK IN GEARS. ENGINE STALLS AND REVS UP WHEN CHANGING GEARS! I FEAR FOR MY LIFE IN THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, WATER POURS FROM THE BASE OF THE EXHAUST PIPES. NOT FROM THE TIPS.. IT UNREAL HOW MUCH WATER POURS OUT OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE!! THIS IS A BAD SERIOUSLY GRAVE SITUATION! I CALLED FLETCHER DODGE JEEP IN SHERWOOD ARKANSAS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO DRIVE IT 2.5 HOURS TO THEM SO THEY CAN SEE IF A SHIFT RELEARN WOULD WORK OR IF THIS CAR WILL BE A LEMON TOO!!

THEY DEALER CONTINUED TO IGNORE MY CONCERN THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE PAPERWORK TO REVERSE MY SALE WAS EXECUTED QUICKLY AND I WAS ESCORTED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 30 MINUTES.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE 11/8/2014. SINCE THEN HERE IS AN ONGOING, HIGH PITCHED NOISE UPON ACCELERATION FROM ZERO TO ANY CRUISING SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERS FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND OTHERS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAY IT IS DUE TO THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ONE DEALER TRIED TO BLAME IT ON MY PLASTIC SUNGLASSES IN THE OVERHEAD STORAGE COMPARTMENT. ONE DEALER REPORTED TO ME THAT THE SAME NOISE WAS HEARD ON 2 BRAND NEW VEHICLES JUST DELIVERED TO THEM. I ALSO HAVE ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES - STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS REVERSE SIDES LEFT TO RIGHT, RIGHT TO LEFT FOR AUDIO CONTROLS, THE RADIO RANDOMLY STARTS SWITCHING CHANNELS, AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SENSORS TURNS ON TO ENABLE MODE, BUT IN THIS MODE THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOT DIM. THIS FUNCTION WORKED INITIALLY, THEN IT DIDN'T AND ONE DEALER SAID IT LOST IT'S PROGRAM SO THEY RESET IT. ANOTHER DEALER SAID THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. I WILL HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN AT MY NEXT SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE PHONE CALL/PHONE CALL CANCEL BUTTONS ALSO REVERSE FUNCTION. THE FUEL TAKE DOOR RANDOMLY POPS OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AT MY WORK OR HOME. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE. IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

A WEEK PRIOR TO THE MAJOR ISSUE THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDED THE WIPERS TURNING ON WHEN THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION, SIMULTANEOUSLY THE RADIO CUT OUT (THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THAT DAY). THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AT 6:30AM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND DOORS BLINKED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY. FOUR DAYS AFTER THIS ALL STARTED I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, I WENT TO GIVE THE CAR GAS TO COMPLETE MY TURN AND REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD LOST POWER. I COASTED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND LOOKED DOWN AT THE EVIC SCREEN TO REALIZE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL WITHOUT MY DOING AND WOULD NOT RESTART ITSELF. MANY MECHANICAL LIGHTS WERE POPPING UP ON THE EVIC SCREEN, WHICH I TOOK PICTURES OF FOR RECORDS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY.HOWEVER I AM SCARED THAT IF THEY "FIX" IT , IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. ON MONDAY 3/16/15: THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE WIPER/RADIO ISSUE WAS FIXED WITH AN "UPDATE" BUT THE MASTER TECH THAT WORKS FOR THE DEALERSHIP REQUESTED TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME WITH HIM TO MAKE SURE THE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A TECH TAKING HOME A CAR BEFORE BUT I AGREED TO LET HIM SINCE I FEEL I AM AT THE HANDS OF JEEPS MERCY IN FIXING THIS ISSUE. I AM VERY DISPLEASED THAT A JGC DEPENDING ON THE MODEL WORTH $40-70K HAS MANY COMPLAINTS LOADED AGAINST THEM WITH LITTLE END IN SIGHT OF THE COMPANY WANTING TO RESOLVE THESE COMPLAINTS. I REFUSE TO PUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS SAFETY IN JEOPARDY! THIS COMPANY KNOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS AND THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BUT KEEP SAYING ITS A "SOFTWARE UPDATE". I HAVE READ THE FORUMS AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES, ITS NOT JUST "SOFTWARE". *TR
