This Problem Across All Years
All Fuel/propulsion System Complaints (66)
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.
This is in reference to recall #Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 On June 11 2025 I had my Jeep at the dealer for an unrelated problem. The next day when the dealer called me to let me now that my Jeep was ready they mentioned they preformed the high pressure fuel pump recall. I figured no big deal, no additional trip to dealer for the recall. After getting my vehicle home I looked in to what exactly was done as part of the recall. I also found the instructions for the work to be done and the parts to be replaced as part of this recall. The dealer only preformed part of the recall, they replaced the pump the filters and left the label pack in an envelope in the vehicle. When I called them the next day to ask why the additional parts were not installed they said that they do do that part of the recall for no contaminated vehicles. In the instructions for the recall it states numerous times that the high pressure fuel lines are one time use and to discard and replace the lines. In their own service instructions for high pressure fuel lines or whenever the lines need to be removed for a repair the fuel lines are to be replaced. I have had to pay for fuel lines in the past on a repair that required removal. So my question is are dealers required to replace one time use parts only when the customer is paying? same for the EGR tube and gasket. This recall was serious enough to cause a nation wide stop sale order on all dealer stock. the dealer that did this work is West Valley Chrysler Jeep Dodge 4174 West 3500 South West Valley City UT 84120 (801) 955-0872 Any help with this would be appreciated.

The HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) on this vehicle fails causing a fuel lapse and loss of power. I have taken it to two different dealers and they say the HPFP is on recall but not available. The vehicle was available for inspection but neither dealer performed this. When the HPFP fails the engine light comes on and the electronic throttle control light comes on. This started in September of 2023 and has repeated several times. The recall for the HPFP has been announced for quite awhile but nothing has been done about it.
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
tone ring issue not resolved
Fuel filler cap fell off... set code P0440
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.
My issue is with the Manufacture Recall #Z46, NHTSA Recall # 22V-406. This recall has been open since Jun 9, 2022 and involves the Fuel Pump (HPFP) failure. I have taken the vehicle to my local dealer and they advised there still is no remedy available to correct this recall. The vehicle I purchased used, had several open service tickets related to emissions which have been corrected and covered but this safety recall seems to be ignored by the manufacturer and could in fact cause a accident if it fails. The recall covers more than my vehicle and for the sake of my family and I would like it repaired before something happens. I feel the manufacturer has let this issue drop in hopes it will go away. I would like the NHTSA to follow-up on this recall and require them to fix the issue. Thank you.
I received a recall notice from Chrysler (Recall #Z46) on June 9, 2022. The NHTSA recall number is #22V-406. I also recently received another recall from Chrysler (Recall #66A). The NHTSA recall number for this recall is #23V-411. Both recalls indicate that failure of the defective part that has been recalled can result in the unexpected loss of power and a resulting crash without warning. Any resulting crash without warning presents a huge safety concern as it quite possibly could result in injury or death. To date I'm told the part for recall # Z46 is not available and the dealer will not repair Recall #66A until Recall #Z46 has been remedied. In light of the potential for injury or death resulting from the failure of the necessary repairs request that the NHTSA become proactive in forcing the manufacturer to remedy the problem(s) noted above ASAP.
22V-406 Recall issued June 9 2022. We’ve tried to have fixed but parts unavailable. At what point is this untimely? It has been over a year which seems untimely to me. The safety issue indicates high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. 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.
15 months later, no remedy for HPFP recall initiated in June 2022.
As part of the Jeep Recall Z46 my vehicle is currently dead and sitting at the dealership. Dealership quoted over $15k to replace the entire fuel system. They said I can pay out of pocket to replace the entire fuel system however to claim under the recall they don’t have a remedy nor any new parts to replace the failed component along with replacing the rest of the fuel system from the metal contamination. Service advisor provided a corporate Chrysler contact number to escalate to a Chrysler case manager. After creating the case order I was told the case manager would be contacting me within 24 hours. So far it’s been about 5 days and attempting to call I get sent to a voicemail box that’s full.
Jeep has no fix for this recall it’s been 15 months.
Car does not accelerate on a hill readily. Difficult to get it to move as necessary at times.
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.
I had a warning code of service electronic throttle. It then started to regenerate and we took it to Lithia Jeep to fix EGR recall. They needed to replace engine intake because it caught fire. Several months later the car broke down while driving, sputtering, knocking, squealing. Upon inspection, metal flakes found in oil. Suspected HPFP sucked into engine causing havoc. The HPFP is an open recall but no available replacement parts. I'm currently out of a vehicle. I've contacted Jeep but haven't heard a reply

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.
The past 3 times putting gas in 1) after gassing, Jeep started, would not go into gear. Shut off, restarted, was fine. 2) after gassing, Jeep started however shaking, shut off, restarted, however shook until it caught and started. 3) after gassing, the 3rd time it started. The Jeep would shake, like the old cars would diesel when shut off, this is what it was like. Shows multiple codes. Purge valve under hood replaced in November, replacing again to see if its bad. Rear purge valve replaced (driver rear wheel). Next step is smoking the vehicle to find the leaks, believe to be the gas filler neck. Often when putting gas in, gas clicks off. Also the capless tank is awful, often difficult to put the hose in. This is my 3rd JGC, the 07 had issues and this one. The 2011 was a dream! These are manufacturer's issues and should be repaired FREE of charge!
The vehicle will repeatedly die when at a stop light or a stop sign. The dealer has been notified but states that the parts to replace and fix the issue have not been shipped to dealers or are not available. Manufacturer Recall NumberZ46 NHTSA Recall Number22V-406
When are you going to make Jeep fix this fuel pump issue? It has been over 9 months and they stilll say they don't have the parts! People are going to die. HELP!
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.

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
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.

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 HAVE BEEN ALERTED TO TWO (2) SAFETY RECALLS WHICH MAY LEAD TO BODILY HARM OR EVEN DEATH. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT "THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT YET AVAILABLE". SO, EACH TIME I USE THIS VEHICLE, I AM EXPOSING MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS TO POTENTIALLY GRAVE DANGER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE MANUFACTURER MUST BE GIVEN A FINITE TIME PERIOD TO EITHER REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE, FROM THE LEGAL OWNER.

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???
I GOT A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS PURGE VALVE ON THE EVAPORATOR SYSTEM. I ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO AT THE SAME MILEAGE. I THINK CHRYSLER HAS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS PART OF THEIR EMISSION SYSTEM.
THIS VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY'VE INFORMED US THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A RECALL W58, HOWEVER THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX AVAILABLE. HOW DO WE PROCEED WHEN THE JEEP/CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM?

AFTER A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC (RIGHT OR LEFT), I BEGIN TO LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AND MY CAR GOES DEAD! I HAVE TO TRY VERY HARD TO STEER MY CAR OFF ROAD IF I CAN AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START MY CAR UP ALL OVER AGAIN! SCARES ME!!! ALMOST BEEN HIT!! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 6 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2014! LAST TIME WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO BE INSPECTED BUT THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM! I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN!! I WON'T DRIVE ON EXPRESSWAYS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM! I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEPS!! THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE IF IT.

SINCE THE RECALL A YEAR AGO (SPRING 2019) THE VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS HESITATION IN THE THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE ECODIESEL ENGINE REACHES FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DROPPED A MINIMUM OF 4 MPG. I RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE (12/10) REGARDING AN "APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DISCLOSURE 3.0L DIESEL" THE LOCAL DEALER WAS UNAWARE AND STATED IT WAS THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I CALLED "FCA" (JEEP) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS THE PRECURSER TO ANOTHER RECALL. THE ONLY IDENTIFYING NUMBERS I HAVE ARE "FC106038" AND "****AUTO**ALL FOR AADC 030 7/1/2" MARKED ON THE NOTICE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS A FIX OF SOME SORT. THE CURE FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL SEEMS TO BE WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED 9/17/19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE ONLY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS THE "SERVICE ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM". THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT BLINKER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, BODY CONTROL MODULE, AND COMPUTER. THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF BAY RIDGE (8825 5TH AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11209-5901) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR IT WOULD STUMBLE & STALL & STOP. AFTER A NUMBER OF STARTS IT WOULD KEEP RUNNING IF I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. FINALLY IT WAS RUNNING SO IT COULD BE DRIVEN HOME, BUT AT TIMES IT WOULD STUMBLE & STALL, AT AT TIME ALMOST NO ACCELERATION. I HAD TO KEEP 1 FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT REMAINS. THE TROUBLE WAS DIAGNOSED A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. PREVIOUS MODEL JEEPS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE RECALLED
Mileage: 45,000
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE ON MORNING WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE. SO, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET A FREE DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM ONE OF THE AUTO STORES. I WENT TO O'REILLY'S, WHICH IS A STORE THAT SELL AUTO SUPPLIES & PARTS, AND THEY DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL RELAY. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS TO DO THE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD IN CASE THIS VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURED YEAR NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL.

PREVIOUSLY ENTERED COMPLAINT REGARDING COLD THROTTLE/TURBO LAG OF 3-5 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS BUT THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO COLD VEHICLES. THE LAG IS SHORTER BUT EVIDENT WHEN WARM. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF HITTING THE LAG WHILE TRYING TO TURN IN AN INTERSECTION AND THERE IS A "FLAT SPOT" LAG OF 2 -3 SECONDS. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE A LAG THEN SURGE FORWARD. I HAVE ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD DIFFICULTY SWITCHING LANES BECAUSE I GET THE NOSE OF THE VEHICLE TURNED INTO ANOTHER LANE THEN IT DOES NOT MOVE CAUSING NEAR COLLUSIONS THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM BEGINNING TO BE FRIGHTENED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR EVEN THE SHORTEST OF TIMES.

SINCE THE LAST RECALL FOR THE JEEP ECO DEISEL THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN RUNNING THE DEISEL EXHAUST REGENERATION AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK (8 TIMES IN 7 WEEKS SINCE THE RECALL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY PERFORMED A MANUAL REGENERATION AND THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IT STARTED IT AGAIN A WEEK LATER. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AT LEAST 10-15 MINUTES TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF (EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY REGENERATE THE FILTER) AND MY ENGINE IS OVERWORKING AND LAGGING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT SINCE THE RECALL EVERYONE WITH THE JEEP ECO DIESELS IS COMPLAINING OF.

EVER SINCE THE FCA ECODIESEL EXHAUST EMISSIONS UPDATE, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TERRIBLE TURBO-LAG. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR, ESPECIALLY AFTER A COLD START IT CAN TAKE UP TO 4 SECONDS TO ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD. I ALREADY REPORTED THIS ONCE BEFORE, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. TRYING TO CROSS ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. IT ALSO HAS ANYWHERE FROM 3-4MPG DROP SINCE THE UPDATE.

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. THE CHECK VALVE WILL ONLY ALLOW A SLOW FILL USING A MANUAL GRASP OF THE NOZZLE LEVER TO RESTRICT THE FLOW TO THE SMALLEST AMOUNT POSSIBLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS A RECALL THE REFILL IS OF COURSE, IS DONE IN PARK, AT A GAS STATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCURS AT STARTUP.

VEHICLE FIRE - WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ON A CITY STREET AND SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE QUICKLY FILLED THE CABIN WITH CHEMICALS AND SMOKE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS AND LUCKILY, DUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES, THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BEFORE MYSELF AND THE OTHER OCCUPANT WERE BURNT UP IN THE CAR. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF INVESTIGATIONS BY THE DEALERSHIP AND FIAT CHRYSLER, THERE IS STILL NO DETERMINATION OF THE CAUSE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AND THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. *DT*JB *DT *DT *TR *DT *TR*JB

BETWEEN 1/2 & 1/4 TANK THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL AND STALL DUE TO THE SECONDARY TRANSFER FUEL PUMP FAILING TO RUN TO TRANSFER THE REMAINING FUEL IN THE HORSESHOE SHAPED TANK TO THE SIDE WHERE THE MAIN PUMP DRAWS FUEL FROM . THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND VEHICLE WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU ADD FUEL TO BRING THE LEVEL ABOVE 1/2 TANK . HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER TWICE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THE PUMP FAILS AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER . THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN AS VEHICLE CAN STALL DURING PASSING OR WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS . THIS IS A POORLY ENGINEERED SYSTEM AND AT THE VERY LEAST THE SECONDARY FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND IMPROVED TO STOP THESE FAILURES

THE CAR HAS EXTENDED CRANKING AND HESITATING WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY LIKE OTHER JEEP AND DURANGO'S WITH PUSH BUTTON STARTS. THEIR HAS BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS VECHOCLE NEW.
WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS, FUEL STARTED POOLING UNDER MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOO SCARED TO START IT DRIVE IT, SO, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, I'M STILL WITHOUT A CAR AS THE DEALER IS AWAITING A NEW GAS TANK TO BE DELIVERED. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK!!!! WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY!!!! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED AND SCARED NOW TO EVEN DRIVE IT WHEN IT GETS FIXED. NOT A COMFORTING FEELING THAT I COULD'VE EXPLODED.

THEY REDESIGNED FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY ON NEWER JEEPS, BUT THIS CURRENT FAULTY DESIGN SHOULD BE RECALLED AT NO CODT TO OWNER!! . P/N 68243684AA. IT MAY REDIRECT YOU TO NEWLY DESIGNED PART.

THE VEHICLE WAS AT A FULL STOP IN A LINE OF CARS TO PICK UP CHILDREN FOR SCHOOL. LET OFF BRAKE TO "INCH" FORWARD, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY FULLY ACCELERATED. BRAKE DID NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR IN FRONT WAS HIT CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AROUND THAT VEHICLE AND THEN JUMPED A CURB BEFORE BEING ABLE TO HALT THE VEHICLE AND KILL THE ENGINE. NARROWLY ESCAPED KILLING OF SCHOOL CHILDREN AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! THE IMAGES ATTACHED WILL SHOW THAT THIS WAS THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION THAT OCCURRED WITHIN JUST A FEW FEET OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN FRONT. IT WAS NOT HUMAN ERROR THAT LED TO THIS CRASH. PLEASE EXERCISE DUE DILIGENCE IN INVESTIGATING THIS, SO AS TO PREVENT FUTURE TRAGEDY! ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF UPDATED 9/28/18*JB

ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO THE NHTSA HAD ISSUED AN ADVISORY BULLETIN SUGGESTING THAT AUTOMAKERS REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ONBOARD INFO SYSTEMS DUE TO DISTRACTED DRIVERS, IN THE MEANTIME MORE COMPLEX SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BY SAID AND WITH THE MOST RECENT HACKING OF THE ONBOARD ECM'S AS WELL AS DRIVING CONTROLS, I QUESTION WILL YOU POSSIBLY FOLLOW THROUGH WITH A MANDATE TO CEASE THESE SYSTEMS FROM BEING INSTALLED SEEING THAT HACKERS THROUGH THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEMS ALSO ONBOARD BE ELIMINATED TO STOP POSSIBLE HORRIFIC ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING. I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY ARE NOW ISSUING NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING, HOWEVER HACKERS HAVE " BACKDOOR METHODS " TO STILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS A CARS SYSTEM AND WITH ALL THE CYBER CRIME TAKING PLACE TODAY , THE ELIMINATION OF THESE SYSTEMS WOULD BE A SURE FIRE WAY TO STOP IT. A GOING BACK TO A MORE SIMPLER TIME WHEN THESE ISSUES DIDN'T EXIST SAY PRE 2003 STANDARDS. AS A CONCERNED CONSUMER I AM VERY WORRIED THAT SOME VERY BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND PUT MY FAMILY ( AS WELL AS OTHERS ) AT GREAT RISK. I WOULD IMPLORE YOU TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER STOPPING THESE SYSTEMS FROM BEING INSTALLED IN ANY NEWER CARS THAT ARE PLANNED FOR RELEASE, YOU TIMELY DECISION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED , THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

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. THE JEEP WILL RANDOMLY LURCH FORWARD WHILE STOPPED, BRAKES ENGAGED AND VEHICLE IS RUNNING - AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS BELOW 3/4 FULL AND THEN SHUTS OFF WHEN THE FULL GAUGE READS 1/4 FULL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON IT DISABLES THE REMOTE START FUNCTION WHICH IS SORELY MISSED IN NEW ENGLAND WINTERS. THIS HAVE HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES THIS WINTER IF NOT MORE AND THE DEALER COULD NOT HELP. *TR
