Summary

my vehicle keeps shutting off when I make a turn - I lose all power - I have no warning at all that this is about to happen - the radio and headlights stay on (no steering at all so I have to struggle to turn the wheel since I am in a turn when this happens) and I have to coast over to the shoulder to put the vehicle in park and start it up again. This truck has been recalled for this problem several times already and repaired several times already and it just keeps happening. I am going to get in a car accident one of these times. It is the Pump relay that is not working.

Subject: Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland: Failure Date: Sep 29, 2021. Dealer has advised that the "Control Module" for the Alternator is malfunctioning which causes the Alternator to function at maximum capacity all the time and results in the "Battery Warning Notice" on the Instrument Panel. Dealer advises that no replacement "Control Module" is available in the entire US at this time (Control Module is foreign made). According to Dealer, the Alternator will fail, and any replacement unit will also fail. What is the fix for this safety issue?

Summary

I contacted Keffer Jeep Chrysler in Charlotte, NC when I received the recall notice. This dealer ship has a poor service department and they almost never answer calls but use the voice recorder for messages. I left two messages regarding the recall but never received a return call. Today I tried again and got the voice mail again, so called through the manager's line and finally spoke to someone in service. At first they were very helpful, but when I mentioned the recall it changed and I was informed that it would be more than two months before they could arrange to make the recall repairs (the end of November). I have encountered this before where dealers do not feel that they are properly compensated for recall work and thus try to shift off to another dealer through delays. I am now going to find another dealer, but felt that the impact of the NTSB recall safety measures is being impaired by the conduct of Keffer. The recall is very clear that this defect is dangerous and thus I have not used my Jeep Cherokee pending getting the recall addressed. Thank you for your help in curing this problem for the public at large.

Summary

As I am about to turn right my vehicle completely shuts off and I lose power steering, etc. Brakes work enough to stop thankfully, but vehicle is completely off almost causing a crash. I am able to start my 2011 Jeep GC right back up and go on with the engine light on. The light then shut off as I am driving. After reading multiple cases of this same issue it is apparent something needs done and a resolution needs issued. This is an extreme safety issue and needs addressed now before injury or death occurs. I love Jeep but I do not think I will be able to get another (after having 3+) if this does not get addressed. Get this fixed and addressed now.

Summary

In March 2021 my wife’s 2011Jeep Grand Cherokee was at Naples Chrysler-Jeep for a stalling problem where while driving, the car’s engine would stop while moving in traffic. Power steering and brakes lost power thereby making it nearly impossible to steer or stop without coasting to the side of the road. There was no warning from the vehicle that there was a problem. Once the car coasted to a stop, my wife was able to put the car in park and restart the car. This happened 4 or 5 times before taking it in for maintenance. After 2 weeks looking for a problem, they replaced a fuel pump relay in the TIPM. Again, in late July the car repeated the stall while driving 2 times. The car is currently at Naples Chrysler Jeep where techs are trying to duplicate the problem with no success. No codes came up during computer testing. We are reluctant to drive the vehicle if the technicians can’t locate and fix the problem before returning the car to us. Because of the sudden nature of the stall, we fear we could crash causing serious injury or death.

Summary

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Alternator shorted and/or failed diode causing a fire under the hood. Started the vehicle and heard a strange noise from under the hood. Turned the vehicle off and opened the hood. Upon opening the hood smoke bellowed out. I could see an electrical component inside the alternator glowing red. The component glowed red and smoked until the battery was completely drained. While the vehicle didn't start on fire if it had this could have caused a large amount of damage as at the time of the incident the vehicle was parked inside a airport parking garage. Jeep has a recall for 2012 - 2014 models. The 2011 model year needs to be added to the recall. The failed alternator is available for inspection. Failed Component: Alternator, available for inspection Safety/Risk: Vehicle Fire Problem Confirmed By Dealer: Vehicle still in garage, to be towed 7/26/2021 Component Inspected: No Warnings: Unusual noise

Summary

I had repeated engine stalling issues, usually when accelerating, but other times just randomly. The problem is usually momentary, the engine starts running again in seconds. It is also infrequent, only once or twice a month for a vehicle being driven daily. This has caused some very near misses when the vehicle behind me doesn't notice my sudden deceleration (there are no brake lights) and almost rear ends me. Fortunately I have not had any accidents. This was a problem on my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee VIN 1J8HR58T99C520366. A bad crankshaft position sensor wire in the harness was finally found and replaced which fixed the problem. The problem is very hard for the repair shop to verify, they won't take the vehicle out on the road and drive it long enough so it is hard to even convince them it is a real problem. The shops often attribute it to a bad fuel pump relay, a well known problem with recalls. The replacement relays have very limited availability. I have had to drive on a suspected bad relay for months before recall parts are available. I don't think the relay is the only defect which causes the problem. About 6 weeks ago my 2011 started exhibiting the problem again, but this time with more frequency and more dramatic engine out episodes. The dealer attributed it to the fuel pump relay, which they didn't have, then to a timing sensor (crankshaft I think) then to various other problems including corroded ECM connector pins which were replaced but didn't fix the problem. After 4 weeks in the shop they finally found a bad wire (which connects the suspect timing sensor) inside a wiring harness. The wire was replaced and the problem went away. That is one of the problems that was discovered on my 2009 model! That coincidence can't be explained as a random failures, there has to be a wiring harness issue.

Summary

My paint on the roof of my Jeep Grand Cherokee started bubbling and visible rust started appearing. After about a month my windshield cracked all the way across starting from where the rust made the paint bubble, this is the only part of the vehicle with any rust. I had USAA send Safelite to come repair my windshield and what I thought was minor rust damage. To my horror the damage from the bad paint/seal was extensive and the windshield can’t be replaced until the body of the Jeep is fixed. The windshield needing replaced is the original from the factory no part of my Jeep has ever been replaced, the only reason it needs to be fixed is because of the faulty paint/seal. I now have no windshield or drivable car. I have reached out and there are quite a few Jeep owners that experienced this same issue in the same exact location. It is now being held on by tape so there isn’t just a huge hole in the car. The day it cracked the vehicle had not left my driveway, but now my car is not in a state to drive anywhere. Also in outside temperatures exceeding 80 the seat belt warning light and air bag light come on, sometimes it stays sometimes it goes away. However when the airbag light is on it prevents them from deploying in case of an incident which could cause more serious injury or death. I have three open recalls as well, I call Roberson Jeep of Salem in March of 2021, I have not heard anything about the parts being ready, I called in June 2021 about an update and they have not started my claim.

Summary

While driving, an electric fire started in my Jeep due to a vanity lamp short (NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V879000) which is a known issue: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) recalled certain model year 2011-2013 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured December 3, 2009, to September 1, 2012. "In the affected vehicles, the wiring for the vanity lamp in the sun visor may short circuit, after having been remedied for a prior recall for the vanity lamp wiring." I had this recall completed in November of 2017, which was confirmed by the manufacturer during my phone conversation today. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. My safety and others was at extreme risk as I was driving when this fire occurred above my head and I had to quickly pull over and exit my vehicle in a very busy area. There was also melting material dripping from the visor that nearly reached me in the driver's seat, but thankfully I was able to move out of the way and it melted my driver seat instead (as shown in picture). The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The vehicle has not been inspected yet by the manufacturer or insurance representatives or any others, it is at the Jeep dealership and I am waiting to hear back from the manufacturer on next steps for the extensive damage before anything is done.

We had the latest recall repair completed for stalling while driving, it was a fuel pump relay I believe. I think we had it repaired in February/March. However this morning while driving to work our jeep stalled while slowing down to turn, the battery stayed on but the engine completely stalled & the power steering went out almost causing us to drive off the road. Luckily the brakes still worked but we had a semi behind us that nearly missed us as it also turned onto the same road.

Summary

VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN 2018 AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FEBRUARY 2019. THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN IN JUNE 2020 AND TWICE IN FEBRUARY 2021. THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING USUALLY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I WAS IN DANGER BECAUSE THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT DEAD WITH CARS BEHIND ME. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR-ENDED IN ALL OF THOSE INSTANCES. RECALL WAS PERFORMED, BUT ENGINE STALLED AGAIN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS REPLACED. THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING CAUSES THE CAR TO STOP SUDDENLY, AND IT CAN RESULT IN INJURIES, CAR ACCIDENT, LOSS OF LIFE AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. LESTER GLENN DEALERSHIP IS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS AFTER I BROUGHT IT IN WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS REPLACED. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CLOSED THE CASE DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP TELLING THEM THAT THEY CANNOT RECIPROCATE THE ISSUE.

Summary

THE ROOF ON THE INSIDE OF MY 2011 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO A SUN VISOR RECALL (RECALL R71) THE JOHN HIESTER DEALERSHIP IN SANFORD, NC HAD PREVIOUSLY FIXED TWICE. THEIR SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR SAID THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL FIRE DAMAGE BECAUSE IT WASN'T RELATED TO THE RECALL AND WASN'T A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. BASICALLY, THEY IMPLIED THAT I CAUGHT MY OWN VEHICLE ON FIRE & RISKED MY OWN LIFE & THE LIFE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN, WHICH IS CRAZY. SEE DETAILS BELOW: ON OCTOBER 23, 2020, I TOOK MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE JOHN HIESTER CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON HAWKINS AVENUE IN SANFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, TO HAVE THE SUN VISOR WIRING RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL R71 REPLACED. PER THE ATTACHED INVOICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT AND LEFT SUN VISOR AND INSTALLED WIRE GUIDES AND GRIND RELIEFS. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:45 A.M. ON DECEMBER 9, 2020 (NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS LATER), FROM INSIDE OF THE HOUSE, AS USUAL, I USED THE CAR KEY TO AUTOMATICALLY START MY JEEP THAT WAS STATIONARY (SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY) SO THAT IT COULD WARM UP. WHEN MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I WALKED OUTSIDE TO GET INTO THE JEEP, I NOTICED A LOT OF SMOKE ON THE INSIDE, SO MUCH SO, THAT I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. UPON OPENING THE JEEP DOOR, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH SMOKE. WITH THE DOORS OPENED, THE SMOKE FINALLY CLEARED, AND, IN HORROR, I SAW THAT THE ROOF ON THE INSIDE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY BURNED AND PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOF HAD BUBBLED FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE A FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED THE INCIDENT TO THE RECALL THAT WAS REPAIRED ON OCTOBER 23, 2020 BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, I'D TRIED TO TURN ON THE VISOR LIGHT TO READ SOMETHING AND THE LIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM. I MESSAGED THE JOHN HIESTER DEALERSHIP VIA ONLINE AROUND 7:30 A.M. FROM THERE, MY JEEP WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT STILL REMAINS UNREPAIRED.

ON MORE THAN 1 DOZEN OCCASIONS MY JEEP HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FM 20 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. I LOST STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES WHILE THE REST OF GAGES STAYED ON. AFTER THE FIRST FEW TIMES I FIGURED OUT I COULD THROW IN NEUTRAL , HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. CHRYSLER JEEP TOLD ME THIS WAS A "RELAY " RECALL FOR OVER 1 1/2 YEARS THAT THEY HAD NO REPAIR FOR. SO THEY JUST KEPT REPLACING TRHE PART. I WOULD GET ANYWHERE FM 2 WKS TO FEW MONTHS WITH THE "NEW, BAD PART" THE REALL REPAIR CAME IN LAST WEEK. AFTER REPLACING IT, I MADE IT 2 DAYS BEFORE I STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME ON AN EXIT RAMP DOING 30 MILES AN HOUR AROUND A SHARP TURN .I (AND MY 13 YEAR OLD SON) WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. I HAD TO USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO GET OUT. I CASUED MINOR F=DAMAGE ASWELL. THIS TIME! I KEEP TELLING THEM IT;S ONLY MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I DIE OR KILL SOMEONE WHEN THIS STALL HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD A RENTAL OR BEEN WITH OUT A CAR FOR AT LEAST 5 WEEKS OF THIS LAST YEAR ALONE FOR THIS RECALL FAILURE. I LOOK ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WEBSITES AND LINKS TO JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES THAT HAVE DONE THIS. HOW MANY PPL HAVE TO WREAK OR DIE TO GET SOMEONES ATTENTION??

Summary

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC, HAD JUST COME A UP A HILL, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR BUCKED, AND THEN MY CAR "STALLED". THANKFULLY, WE KEPT COASTING, BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, WE WERE IN A LONG LINE OF TRAFFIC GOING 50 MPH ON A MAJOR ROAD. I PULLED OVER, SHUT MY CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE US THE TWO MILES TO GET BACK HOME. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TWO CHILDREN IN MY GRAND CHEROKEE, THEREFORE MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING HIS. SO FAR THIS WEEK, THE GRAND CHEROKEE HAS STALLED SIX TIMES WHILE MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING, USUALLY WHILE HE IS ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE; 19V-813, WHICH DESCRIBES A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE THROUGH JEEP. WE HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERS IN THE OUR AREA AND NO ONE WILL OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE THAT RELATES TO THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, BUT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE OR TIPM. I'M HAVING NUMEROUS OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT NONE THAT POSE SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE STALLING. I HAVE BEEN READING OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNER COMPLAINTS, AND MANY SITE THIS IS THE PROBLEM, STATING THAT THEY HAVE HAD THEIR FUEL PUMP RELAY FIXED, BUT THEUR CAR IS STILL STALLING. MY OTHER CAR PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS, WHICH POINT TO THE TIPM: WHILE KEY FOB IN WITHIN VEHICLE, DASH STATING KEY ISN'T IN CAR OR FOB IS DAMAGED, CAR TURNS ON BUT SHUTS BACK OFF QUICKLY ON ITS OWN, THE A/C ONLY WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY THOUGH PRESSURE IS FINE, THE "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, BUT SHUTS OFF WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF.

II HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DRAINED/DEAD BATTERY ISSUES WITH MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, EVEN AFTER INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY IN FEBRUARY OF 2020,. I BELIEVE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A FAULTY TIPM WHICH IS ADDRESSED VIA FCA RECALL V-62 (NTSHA RECALL 19V-813), FOR WHICH NO REMEDY HAS BEEN FOUND BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM NOW HAVING TO CALL A TOW SERVICE FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE INSTALLING THE NEW BATTERY. WHEN IS THIS RECALL GOING TO BE FINALIZED SO THAT THE NECESSARY REPAIRS CAN BE MADE UNDER WARRANTY?

THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING. THE VEHICLE WOULD START SOME DAYS AND ON OTHER DAYS IT WOULD NOT. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND IT WAS NOTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED DUE TO CHRYLSER STATING THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY THE FOB WOULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR, THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AND WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY START WITH A JUMP AND AFTER IT IS TURNED OFF IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN POSTED FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AND CONTINUOUSLY PUT A BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF FIXING THE REAL ISSUE. THE ISSUE WITH THE FAULTY OR DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES FOR THE VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMEDYING THOSE ISSUES IN RELATION TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE DECEMBER 2019 WHICH I HAVE TRIED SERVICING MANY TIMES BUT KEEP BEING TOLD NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SO I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE CAR EITHER NOT STARTING THE FIRST TIME OR EVEN AT ALL, STALLING RIGHT AFTER STARTING AND STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. MY JEEP HAS STALLED WHILE DOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, LEAVING ME IN A PANIC TO TRY TO GET TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AS FAST AND AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. MY JEEP HAS STALLED AT A INTERSECTION WHERE OTHER CARS HAD TO GO AROUND ME, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. THE BREAKING POINT FOR ME WAS THAT ON 6/11/2020 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET IN THE CITY DOING 50MPH AND MY JEEP STALLED OUT AND THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS GET INTO THE MIDDLE TURN LANE, I HAD CALLED MY MOM THROUGH MY BLUETOOTH IN THE CAR TO LET HER KNOW I WAS STUCK AND NEEDED HELP SINCE I HAD MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME, AS WE WHERE TALKING A CAR CAME INTO THE TURN LANE ALMOST HITTING ME HEAD ON AT 50MPH. MY MOM HEARD US ALL SCREAM AS WE THOUGHT WE WHERE GOING TO GET HIT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THAT DAY AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING WHILE I'M DRIVING!

Summary

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL V62 WHERE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY CAUSES A STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MY CAR HAS REGULARLY BEEN STALLING WHILING I'M DRIVING IN TRAFFIC FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FCA SEVERAL TIMES TELLING THEM OF THE RISK I AM IN ON A DAILY BASIS AND ASKING ABOUT WHEN PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL HAS COME OUT WITH NO PROGRESS. THE STALLING HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND HAS PUT ME IN HARMS WAY EVERY TIME I DRIVE; I AM CONSTANTLY MANEUVERING TO AVOID A COLLISION AND THE ONLY REASON AN ACCIDENT HASN'T HAPPENED YET IS BECAUSE OF HOW OVER DEFENSIVE I HAVE TO BE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. FCA EVEN TRIED DOING A TEMPORARY FIX BUT THE CAR STALLED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THIS ATTEMPT. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS WHENEVER I'M OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. NOTE, BELOW YOU ASKED FOR A DATE OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED; IT HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. I PUT TODAY'S DATE BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST CURRENT DATE THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND NEARLY MISSED BEING HIT BY A CAR COMING UP BEHIND ME AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I AM STILL SHAKING FROM THE NEAR MISS OF BEING HIT AND SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Summary

THE LEATHER COVERING ON THE DASHBOARD SHRANK, CRUMPLED AND WRINKLED POPPING THE AIR VENT COVERINGS OUT. THE PROBLEM NOT ONLY RESTRICTS AIR FLOW (DEFROSTING, ETC) IT ALSO MAY PREVENT THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND DECREASES THE VALUE OF MY CAR, BUT IT PRESENTS SAFETY ISSUES. THE COMPANY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND APPROVED MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY HAVE ALSO RESTRICTED THE NUMBER OR REPAIR KITS AVAILABLE AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS AND AM TOLD IT COULD BE MONTHS MORE. THEY WILL NOT GIVE A DATE.THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I NEED IT TO BE FIXED AND THEY HAVE DELIBERATELY RESTRICTED THE NUMBER OF PARTS AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS WITH DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILES. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE HAS A FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. THIS PART HAS ALSO NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR MONTHS AND HAS NO PREDICTED DELIVERY DATE. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES, THEN DELIBERATELY SLOW PRODUCTION OF THE PARTS REQUIRED FOR REPAIRS. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. OBVIOUSLY THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AT A HIGHER LEVEL, BUT THERE IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THAT IN THE PHONE TREE. I NEED MY CAR FIXED.

TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHEN GOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A TOWN ROAD AND BREAKING AND TURNING TO THE RIGHT (ONE TIME WAS MORE RIGHT THAN THE OTHER), MY CAR LOSES POWER OUT OF NO WHERE. MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF, I LOSE POWER STEERING, AND I LOSE MY BREAK ASSIST. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. I CROSSED OVER INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE OF TRAFFIC WITH LITTLE TO NO CONTROL. FORTUNATELY BOTH TIMES NO ONE WAS NEAR ME AND I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP. I CAN THEN RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY. I DONT KNOW HOW TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER GRAND CHEROKEES ON THE INTERNET. I DONT KNOW IF THE CURRENT RECALL THAT I NEED IS SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS IT OR NOT BUT I PLAN ON CALLING MY DEALER ABOUT IT ASAP. MY CAR IS ABOUT 149K MILES. I THINK THE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING 8/21/2020 ON HWY 68 AND AT HWY 74 AT 27265 NC WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. HAD IT TOWED OFF THE ROAD TO ME HOUSE THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER. COULD NOT GET IT OFF THE ROAD DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. HAD TO LEAVE IT IN THE ROAD UNTIL FLAT BED SHOWED UP. ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUTTER THEN STOPPED. WOULD NOT RE-START AT ALL. SOMETIMES WOULD START LIKE IT WAS ONLY RUNNING ON 1 OR 2 CYLINDERS BUT THEN WOULD NOT CUT OFF ALL OF THIS HAPPENED DURING 5 O"CLOCK TRAFFIC.FILLED A COMPLAINT EARLIER ON THIS VEHICLE ABOUT STARTING ISSUES EXACTLY LIKE THIS. THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED BY JEEP BEEN WAY TO LONG FOR THEM TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS AT THE DEALER AND I ASSUME IT WILL COST ME A PRETTY PENNY BY THE TIME IT IS DONE. THEY SEEM TO ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO GENERATE A BILL EVEN ON A RECALL. I AM SO TIRED OF DEALING WITH JEEP. THIS OEM SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LET THIS GO THIS LONG. I WORK FOR VOLVO ANOTHER OEM COMPANY AND WHEN WE HAVE A MQR (QUALITY ISSUE) IT IS THE TOP OF THE LIST TO BE RESOLVED AND DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMER. I QUESS IT TAKES INURY OR LOSS OF LIFE AND A LAW SUIT TO GET IT TO HAPPEN.

HAS STUMBLED ON HIGHWAY A NUMBER OF TIMES. HARD START SETTING STILL IS A COMMON ISSUE UNDER MANY CONDITIONS. THE SO CALLED FIRST RECALL PLACING AN EXTERNAL FUEL RELAY HAS BEEN DONE DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. THIS VEHICLE IS A HAZARD IN MANY WAYS. IF IT FAILS IN A BAD LOCATION IT COULD LEAD TO LOS OF LIFE OR INJURY. ALSO IF THE NEED TO START THE VEHICLE AT A MOMENTS NOTICE IS NEEDED, IT WOULD BE AN ISSUE IN MOST CASES. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT JEEP HAS NOT REPAIRED THIS ISSUE. WILL IT TAKE LOSE OF LIFE OR INJURY TO FORCE THEM TO REPAIR THE ISSUE??? I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL MANY MANY MONTH AGO, SOLUTION IS STILL LISTED AS NO SOLUTION.

HAD IT REPLACED, NO MORE LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT TRANSMISSION STILL ACTING UP NOW. WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE LEAK AND TRANS FLUID GETTING LOW. AFTER READING UP I GUESS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. OBVIOUSLY THESE A/C CONDENSER UNITS ARE FAULTY. NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDABLE IF JEEP WOULD HAVE LET OWNERS KNOW ABOUT THE AC CONDENSER ISSUE OR MADE THAT A UNIT THAT HAS TO GET REPLACED AFTER SO MANY MILES.

ON 4/10/2020 I WAS IDLING IN GEAR IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU LANE. I COULD HEAR AND FEEL THE ENGINE START TO SPUTTER. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TRIED APPLYING GAS TO KEEP THE ENGINE AT A HIGHER REV. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE ENGINE STOPPED. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START BUT ALL IT DID WAS TO HAVE AN EXTENDED CRANK TIME WITHOUT IT STARTING. I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME HELP TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF SITTING I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DRIVE IT HOME. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THIS ISSUE. THE LAST TIME WAS WHILE I WAS ENTERING AND TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. ANOTHER TIME WAS WHILE I WAS 25 MILES DOWN A DIRT ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM AND/OR THE FUEL PUMP(S) REPLACED AT A JEEP DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNDER ANY CONDITION! I USE IT TO TOW MY TRAILER AND TO GO OFF-ROADING. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS DOING EITHER ONE OF THESE AT THE TIME OF A FAILURE!

Summary

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT JEEP IN EXCESS OF 45 DAYS FOR REPAIRS. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP. THEN, ON DECEMBER 25, 2019, I RECEIVE THE V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FOR MY JEEP. I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SERVICE NUMBER. THEY WERE OF NO ASSISTANCE. NHTSA: REQUEST #254540 COMPLAINT (TRACKING NUMBER) ID: 11 29 23 50. ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 31, 2019, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. ON JANUARY 2, 2020, RESPONDED THAT FIAT NEEDED TO BE GIVEN TIME TO FIND A FIX. THIS WAS CONFIRMED IN A TELEPHONE CALL WITH NHTSA ON JANUARY 3, 2020. THE JEEP CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH NOT STARTING. ON MARCH 23, 2020, MY HOUSEMATE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP. HE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. NOTHING HAPPENED. HE COASTED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL WAS ON THE DASH. HE DECIDED TO RETURN HOME. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE JEEP AGAIN. ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 24, 2020, WE HAD IT TOWED TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP OF RENO. LITHIA DIAGNOSED IT AS HAVING A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY SUBJECT TO THE SAFETY RECALL V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY. FIAT REFUSED AGAIN TO ENGAGE IN ANY DISCUSSION OF BUYBACK. FIAT HAS HAD OVER THREE MONTHS AND PRESUMABLY SEVERAL MORE MONTHS 'TO DEVELOP A SOLUTION' YET IT HAS NOT. MY JEEP SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY UNDRIVABLE, A WORTHLESS PIECE OF UNSAFE JUNK. THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THERE ARE NO LIKE VEHICLES AVAILABLE (THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM). UNDER FEDERAL REGULATIONS, FCA MUST BUY-BACK MY JEEP.

Summary

TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING BRAKING, WHILE IN MOTION, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. LOST POWER BRAKES, STEERING, EVERYTHING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN CURB WITH TWO CARS BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO ABRUPTLY SWERVE TO AVOID ME. IT WAS A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. NO POWER ANYTHING, RADIO, LIGHTS, NOTHING. I CAME TO A STOP AFTER STANDING ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL MY WEIGHT! I PUT THE CAR IN P AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER THAT. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE, NEEDLESS TO SAY! I HAVE SINCE PARKED IT BUT AM HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME WITH A FAMILY OF 5 DOWN TO ONE CAR. I AM ON AN EMAIL LIST TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THERE IS A FIX, BUT IT SEEMS THEY'RE NOT IN A HURRY! THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS FIX IS 19V-813. THANK YOU.

THE FUEL PUMP RECALL OF THE RECALL IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I HAVE ALREADY FILED ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WENT ON DEAF EARS. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TO JEEP AND DEALER FOR YEARS AND THEY JUST TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE RECALL FOR A CAR THAT IS TEN YEARS OLD. THE FIRST RECALL WAS A JOKE AND THE CHEAPEST FIX I HAVE EVER SEEN AND OF COURSE IT DID NOT WORK AND HERE WE ARE AGAIN. THE REAL PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP IS THE TIPM MODULE AND THIS WHOLE PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. TOO MANY LIVES ARE AT RISK FOR JEEP TO TRY ANOTHER PATCH JOB THIS TIME AROUND. JEEP COULD RE-ENGINEER THE TIPM AND FIX ALL THESE CARS VERY EASILY BUT NO ONE WILL FORCE THEM TO DO IT. PLEASE HELP! I AM TIRED OF RISKING MY FAMILYS LIFE OVER NOT HOLDING JEEP RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN SENT A RECALL NOTICE (2ND ATTEMPT AT RECALL) BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM YET, OR IN OTHER WORDS THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH ONE CHEAP ENOUGH TO SUIT THEIR NEEDS. IT IS TIME TO MAKE JEEP RECALL THE TIPM MODULE AND FIX THIS ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN PUT A DENT IN ANY JEEP PROFITS BUT YET WE HAVE TO RISK OUR LIVES SINCE THE NHTSA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO JEEP. STARTING TO BECOME A BOEING LIKE PROBLEM WITH CAR MANUFACTURES. I HAVE BEEN ON HOLD WITH JEEP FOR 2 HOURS AND THEY SAFETY RECALL WEBSITE DOES NOT WORK HALF THE TIME WHICH IS REALLY CONCERNING.

Summary

ON 1/22/20 I SPOKE WITH ASMA AT FCA REGARDING AN ISSUE MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS HAVING WITH A FUEL RELAY RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V-813). I INFORMED ASMA THAT MY JEEP HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING- SEVERAL OF THE TIMES WERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS INFORMED BY ASMA THAT THERE IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX, HOWEVER BECAUSE I WAS EXPERIENCING ISSUES, I COULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. ON 1/22/20, I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TEMPORARY FUEL RELAY PART PLACED ON MY VEHICLE. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS WARNED THAT SINCE THE PART IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX, THEY COULD NOT ESTIMATE HOW LONG IT WOULD BE BEFORE I EXPERIENCED ISSUES AGAIN. ON SATURDAY, 2/1/20 WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN MY JEEP ONCE AGAIN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. OF NOTE, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. SO DURING THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE ON 2/1/20 WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE UP OVER A CURB TO AVOID GETTING HIT DUE TO VEHICLE DECELERATION AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A RESULT OF THE FAULTY FUEL RELAY RECALL. I FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH TASHA AT FCA RECALL DEPARTMENT ON 2/3/20. PER TASHA, SHE STATES THAT SHE IS GOING TO HAVE A CASE MANAGER REVIEW MY CASE AND CONTACT ME IN 1-3 BUSINESS DAYS. WHEN I QUESTIONED TASHA ABOUT THE SAFTETY OF MY VEHICLE, SHE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE A RENTAL VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED IF I WOULD BE REIMBURSED BY JEEP AND/OR FCA, SHE STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT A VEHICLE UNTIL THIS ISSUE UNTIL A PERMANENT FIX IS DETERMINED BY FCA AS IT COULD BE MONTHS. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

Summary

TWO RECENT EVENTS, WHEN BRAKING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THERE WAS SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. EVEN WITH STRONGER AND FORCEFUL BRAKE PRESSURE THE JEEP WAS STILL MOVING AND WANTING TO KEEP GOING WITH ENGINE REVVING. HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN ENGINE QUIT REVVING AND THINGS RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE THIS JEEP 10 YEARS AND AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT. NEVER ANY WRECKS. NO MEDICAL PROBLEMS. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING WITH ANY PEDALS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY SERVICED THE THROTTLE-BODY AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. THIS APPARENTLY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AS THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. IN GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM A BLOG MENTIONED THIS COULD BE THE JEEP BRAKE-BOOSTER WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED AND WAS REPLACED ON MY JEEP 2 YEARS AGO. GOOGLE BRINGS UP THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION AS A COMMON SEARCH BUT NO CLEAR ANSWERS. I KNOW ABOUT THE TOYOTA ACCELERATION PROBLEM IN THE 1990'S, THAT THEY NEVER FOUND OR ADMITTED ANYTHING MECHANICAL AND ASSUMED IT WAS GRANNY USING TWO FEET. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 JEEP. WILL TAKE TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ALREADY SAID THEY AREN'T AWARE OF THIS BEING A JEEP DEFECT. I REGISTERED THIS COMPLAINT WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM TO CALL THEM BACK AND THEY WILL WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THIS. THEY WORRISOME THING IS THEY WILL DO SOMETHING FOR $1000 AND THEN I HAVE THIS BRAKE/ACCELERATION OCCUR A 3RD TIME AND IT CAUSES A CRASH!

Summary

ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP. THEN, ON DECEMBER 25, 2019, I RECEIVE THE V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FOR MY JEEP, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:*DT OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE [1] WAS INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA 14V-530) OR SAFETY RECALL R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). THE REMEDY FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALLS WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. IF YOU HAD EITHER OF THESE RECALLS COMPLETED, THE INSTALLED REMEDY RELAY IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SILICON CONTAMINATION ON THE RELAY CONTACTS, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE RELAY TO FAIL. A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A NO-START CONDITION OR AN ENGINE STALL CONDITION IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ['] THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THIS WAS OF GREAT CONCERN. IN THE 1980S I WAS DRIVING ON THE CONGESTED FREEWAYS OF LA WHEN MY BMW SUDDENLY JUST TURNED OFF. I BARELY MANAGED TO COAST TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I WAS IN TERROR AS I HAD JUST BEEN REAR-ENDED A YEAR PRIOR WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. TO THIS DAY I HAVE PAIN IN MY SHOULDER, AND TWO PINCHED NERVES IN MY NECK. SO, I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SERVICE NUMBER. GIVEN THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REMEDY, AND THAT 'VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING', I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE AGENT INSISTED THAT I FIRST HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF A PROBLEM. THAT IS PATENTLY RIDICULOUS AS THE PROBLEM CAN NOT EXIST AND THEN, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, ARISE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND 'CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING'. IN FACT, THAT FIRST TIME COULD BE ON THE WAY TO MY LOCAL DEALER. *DT *JB

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD, HAS STARTED TO STALL OUT WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FORWARD. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND HAS SHOWN A ZIGZAG ICON, ON MY SCREEN,( WHICH I AM NOT SURE OF THE MEANING OF THAT ICON). BUT I DO KNOW IF FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS A FUEL FAILURE, PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN ON CITY STREETS, AND WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN ON ACCELERATION. IT ALMOST HAS COME TO A STALL, ON ALL OCCASIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT NOTICE, ON AT LEAST, HALF A DOZEN TIMES. IT IS SCARY AS I SOMETIMES NEED TO HAVE MORE POWER, THAN I AM GETTING WHEN IT STALLS. IT HAS ENOUGH HESITATION, TO CAUSE ME TO BE IN DANGER AT TIMES. I AM TRYING TO GET AN APPT AT JIM SMOLICH MOTORS, IN BEND OREGON, TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT I DID NOTICE A RECALL NOTICE, THAT IS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE THIS IS. PLEASE REPLY AND SET UP AN APPT. WITH THE ABOVE JEEP DEALER IF YOU CAN. THANK YOU. [XXX], BEND OREGON. PH [XXX].

I WENT TO THE JEEP SERVICE CENTER AND THEY RECOGNIZED AND CONFIRMED IT AS MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: V62 OR (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V-813). THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT DUE TO "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" AND THEY ACTUALLY DON'T SEE ANY OPEN RECALL ON THEIR SYSTEM BY THE COMPANY JEEP. I SHOW THEM WHAT SAFERCAR.COM SAYS ON THE INTERNET BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND JEEP COMPANY. I CALL 1-800-853-1403 BUT THE GUY COULDN'T HELP ME IF I AM CURRENTLY OUT OF THE US. I ALSO CALL 1-586-274-8176 OF INTERNATIONAL SERVICE BUT NO ANSWER OR ASSISTANCE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE US AND IT IS NOW WITH ME DURING MY STAY IN ISRAEL - THE COMPANY SERVICE JUST DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY OR SOLUTION OR JEEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR.

Summary

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. IT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL (P54) WHICH WAS FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY WOULD CAUSE THE JEEP TO LOOSE ALL POWER WHICH, IN TURN, CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKING MAKING THE CARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING WHEN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED. I HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED, BUT IN 2019 THE VERY SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALER AND IF THEY VERIFIED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY THEY WOULD PAY FOR REPAIRS. I DID THAT AND ACTUALLY CALLED JEEP WHEN TO NOTIFY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN. THE JEEP DEALER VERIFIED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULT AGAIN AND REPLACED. BUT, JEEP FAILED TO PAY AND I HAD TO. THEY HAVE NOT REFUNDED THE COST TO ME. JEEP HAS REPLACED A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH EXACTLY THE SAME THING, A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY, EXPOSING MOTORISTS TO EXTREME DANGER. IF YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IN TRAFFIC AND YOU LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD BE INVOLVED. JEEP KNEW WHAT IT WAS DOING IN REPLACING A FAULTY PART WITH EXACTLY THE SAME FAULTY PART IN THE RECALL.

MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A DEFECT ON CYLINDER# 2 APPARENTLY THERE WAS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT. MY LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER IN DRIVE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, STILL DOES, AND NOW THE ENGINE IS STARTING TO RUN ROUGH, AFTER MORE AND MORE RESEARCH COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS NEVER A RECALL BUT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PUT OUT BY CHRYSLER 10 YRS OR 150,000 MILES. JUST FOUND THIS OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I HAVE 152,000, SO THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT CYLINDER 2 WAS AN ISSUE IN 2017 I HAVE DOCUMENTATION WHERE MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WHEN IT HAD 95,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT WAS WASN'T A DEALERSHIP SO THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT. ITS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $4,000-$6,000 TO GET IT FIXED, NOT SURE WHY IT HAS TO BE DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTATION , I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN HIDING THIS FROM CONSUMERS TO SAVE MONEY AND LET THE CONSUMER TAKE THE FALL FOR A DEFECT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF. WHY CANT THIS BE RECALLED? REGARDLESS OF MILES, VERY DISGRUNTLED WITH CHRYSLER FOR PUTTING OUT PRODUCTS THAT HAVE ISSUES, I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO EVERY RECALL IT HAS HAD AND ITS BEEN ABOUT 5 OF THEM. I LOVE THE JEEP BUT THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL OF JEEP HAS MANY ISSUES WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE THESE ISSUES IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE RECALLED?

MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO I PULLED OVER AT AN ADVANCED AUTO AND HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED. THIS WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY THAT I HAD JUST REPLACE 3 MONTHS EARLIER HAD A BAD CELL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I HAD IT REPLACED AND THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE TO TEST THE ALTERNATOR. AT THAT POINT MY ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTED. THEY SAID MY ALTERNATOR WASNT CHARGING ENOUGH AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TO STOP THE ALTERNATOR FROM SMOKING. WHEN I DID THIS, MY BATTERY FELT UNUSUALLY HOT. GOT IT TESTED AND IT BLEW MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN THE STARTER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. I REPLACED THE STARTER AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE. THE STARTER WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. AS IM READING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS SECTION THE ONLY TWO THINGS IT COULD BE IT SEEMS IS THE TIPM OR THE PCM. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. MAYBE COULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON JEEP AS IT SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT.

I SHOULD LEAVE AND COME BACK SO THEY MAKE ME GET A RIDE WITH A RANDOM DRIVER WHO WORKS FOR THEM TO TAKE ME SOMEWHERE AND COME BACK WHEN FINISHED JUST FOR THEM TO REACH BACK OUT TO ME WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND TELL ME THEY HAD NO PARTS THEY HAD TO ORDER IT. WHICH PISSED ME OFF BECAUSE THAT WASTED MY TIME MONEY AND ENERGY WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PART WAS THERE BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW WHO KNOWS WHEN I'LL HAVE THE TIME TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2015 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY ONLY MENTIONED ONE RECALL TO ME SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR WHICH HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BREAKS.

Summary

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT THIS 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE) STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST TWICE IN AUGUST, NUMEROUS TIMES IN SEPTEMBER, AND ALREADY TWICE THIS MONTH (OCTOBER). WHAT IS MORE CONCERNING IS THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE WARNS OF THE PENDING STALL CONDITION. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THE THERMOSTAT, LIFTERS, TAPPETS, ROCKER ARMS, CYLINDER HEAD, SPARK PLUGS, AND IGNITION COILS REPLACED AND PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KOONS TYSONS CORNER). THE DEALER CANNOT READ ANY ACTIVE OR STORED CODES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SHOP FOREMAN ADVISED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. I ORDERED THE $540.00 FUEL PUMP AND HAD REPLACED ON MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 2019 FOR AN ADDITIONAL $630.00. IRONICALLY ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE STALLED GOING HOME AND THE FUEL PUMP REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE ADVISOR NOW SAY THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE PCM AND THEN THE TIPUM IF ALL ELSE FAILS. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL $3,000.00 IN ESTIMATED SERVICE THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THE MOST CONCERNING THING IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA, WHOM INITIALLY JUST CLOSED THE CASE. I THEN FILED ANOTHER ONE TODAY AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH A CASE MANAGER, WHICH IS PENDING (NO FAITH AT THIS POINT). IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT FCA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING."

Summary

OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE SITTING IN THE CARPORT UNDER OUR HOME UNATTENDED AND UNPOWERED ON AUGUST 25 2018. THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS SERVICED BY THE SPITZER CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER IN HOMESTEAD FLORIDA ON AUGUST 22 2018 FOR RECALL R71/NHTSA 15V-879 PLUS TWO OTHER ITEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP LATE ON FRIDAY AUGUST 24 AND DRIVEN HOME WHERE THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED UNTIL IT CAUGHT FIRE THE NEXT MORNING AROUND 1135. I HAD JUST WALKED PAST THE CAR AT AROUND 1130 AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BY 1155 WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER OUR HOME AND I RUSHED DOWN TO FIND A BLAZING INFERNO. I CALLED 911 AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED FIGHTING THE FIRE TO PREVENT MY HOME FROM CATCHING FIRE AND BURNING DOWN. FIRE INSPECTIONS WERE COMPLETED BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL, USAA INSURANCE FIRE INSPECTOR, FCA CHRYSLER FIRE INSPECTOR, AND ZURICH INSURANCE FIRE INSPECTOR. THE RECALL AND FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY PROCESS. FCA CHRYSLER CHOOSE TO DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN BUILDING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND DEVELOPING A RECALL WHICH ONCE APPLIED MADE OUR VEHICLE MORE LIKELY TO CATCH FIRE. OUR GRAND CHEROKEE IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AFTER THE RECALL WAS APPLIED. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL FIND OTHERS THAT HAVE BURNED POST RECALL. MY INSURANCE CARRIER RELAYED TO ME THAT ONE AGENT HAD ADVISED A FRIEND NOT THE HAVE THE RECALL DONE AS SOME CARS WERE BURNING POST RECALL. WHILE FCA CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO PLACE BLAME ON THE DEALER WHO APPLIED THE RECALL THE FACTS AND OTHER INSPECTIONS DO NOT SUPPORT THAT CONCLUSION. FCA CHRYSLER HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND CONSIDERS THE CASE CLOSED AS THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE FACED WITH ANOTHER 600,000 TO 700,000 VEHICLE RECALL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OR DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. *DT*JB *DT*JB

Summary

3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS CAR HAS STALLED WHILE BRAKING CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH ON ONE OCCASION. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES HAPPENED 9/26/19 WHERE I HAD TO BRAKE WHILE TURNING AND ON THIS OCCASION I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR INTO A MEDIAN. EACH TIME I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER SOON AFTER FOR AN INSPECTION AND EACH TIME I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE VISIBLE AND THEIR ROAD TESTS DO NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, THE DEALER DID HOWEVER REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (I THINK AS PART OF SOME RECALL) BUT DID NOT INDICATE THIS WAS THE SPECIFIC REASON FOR MY CAR STALLING. THIS REPAIR SEEMED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE UNTIL 9/26/19 WHEN IT HAPPENED TWICE CONSECUTIVELY. I FEAR THIS IS RELATED TO THE COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I ASKED THE DEALER IF IT'S PERHAPS RELATED TO ALL THE TIPM ISSUES I'VE READ ABOUT WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND THEY SAID WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC CODES OR WITHOUT REPRODUCING THE ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN I'VE LOST CONTROL OF IT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS AND ALMOST CRASHED IT ONCE? I FEAR THAT THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE BUT I'M BEING TOLD IT'S FINE. I'D REALLY LOVE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS OR GIVE ME GUIDANCE.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE LISTED RECALL IN WHICH CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE! THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSES BECAUSE I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP! I WAS IN MOTION GOING 55 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAST LANE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON. THE JEEP SERVICE TECH HAS LINKED IT BACK TO THE SAME FUEL RELAY AND THIS COULD BE A FATAL PROBLEM IF NOT FIXED. PLEASE I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MYSELF THAT COULD BE INJURED IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED ASAP!!*DT*JB CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING," ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE SUVS ARE EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A 3.6-LITER V6 OR 5.7-LITER V8 ENGINE. "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "A VEHICLE STALL INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH." THIS IS PART OF A GLOBAL RECALL OF AN ESTIMATED 230,760 CHRYSLER SUVS, INCLUDING 15,898 IN CANADA, 7,126 IN MEXICO AND 19,013 OUTSIDE THE NAFTA REGION. CHRYSLER SAID IT IS UNAWARE OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES LINKED TO THE RECALL. IT ADDED THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, ARE AFFECTED BY THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY. THE AFFECTED SUVS WERE BUILT FROM JANUARY 5, 2010 TO JULY 20, 2011. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY WITH ONE EXTERNAL TO THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OCTOBER 24. OWNERS CAN CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.*DT*JB *DT

Summary

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED BUT THE PATCH "FIX" JEEP DOES DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY AND THEY KNOW THIS. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH DOES NOT SEND CORRECT SIGNAL TO FUEL PUMP. ON START CAR WILL NOT START OFTEN BECAUSE IT IS NOT RECEIVING ANY FUEL. I AM AFRAID THIS CHEAP "FIX" JEEP CAME UP WITH WILL CAUSE THE FUEL TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE BIGGEST DEFECT WITH THE CAR IS THE V-8 HEMI CAM SHAFT AND LIFTERS. EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TOO HAS SAID THAT JEEP KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING WHICH WITH THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSE ME TO JUST ABOUT HAVE A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC WHO FOUDN A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE & PERFORMED A TUNE UP AND HE SAID I NEEDED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO JEEP AS THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE SEVER PROBLEMS. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO "DIGANOSE" THE PROBLEM AND REPORTED BACK THAT THE LIFTERS AND CAM SHAFT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A BAD PROBLEM FOR JEEP THE LIFTERS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY WILL NOT ADMIT IT IS A PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND NOW LOOKIN G AT REBUILDING AN ENGINE AND JEEP WILL ONLY PROVIDE 2 YEAR WARRANTY OR THE WORK, WHICH SHOWS THEY HAVE NO TRUST IN THE FIX AND THERE IS A FATAL FLAW WITH THE V-8 HEMI. PLEASE FORCE JEEP TO HONOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND CORRECT THE KNOWN MISTAKES WITH THEIR ENGINES.

Summary

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE OTHER DAY (IT HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION), SO I CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP. THE MANAGER SAID THAT IT MEANT MY BATTERY WAS NOT RECEIVING A CHARGE AND TO DRIVE IT STRAIGHT IN, SO I DID. HE AND I BOTH SMELLED SMOKE FROM MY VEHICLE WHEN I ARRIVED (APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON). UPON INSPECTION, HE SAID THAT MY ALTERNATOR HAD SHORTED OUT AND HAD SINGE MARKS INSIDE AND IT HAD ALSO OVERHEATED MY BATTERY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT MY CAR ON FIRE (AND THE MANAGER OF THE REPAIR SHOP VERIFIED THAT IT COULD HAVE), ESPECIALLY SINCE THE BATTERY CONNECTION IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THE YELLOW DISCOLORATION (SEE PHOTO, ATTACHED) WAS FROM OVERHEATING/SINGE MARKS. HE AND I COULD ALSO BOTH SMELL SMOKE FROM THE ALTERNATOR AFTER IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, SO IT WAS DEFINITELY THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE AND SMELL (ALTHOUGH MY BATTERY MAY HAVE BEEN SMOKING AS WELL ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOP MANAGER). I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ALTERNATOR (AND POSSIBLY THE BATTERY AS WELL AS A RESULT) SHOULD HAVE STARTED SMOKING AS THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURIES AND/OR DEATH.

WHILE DRIVING ON 376-E IN PITTSBURGH FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AT ABOUT 50-MPH, I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR. THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE REPEATEDLY FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 198-250 DEGREES. AT TIMES ENGINE AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, BUT TURN OFF AS TEMPERATURE WENT BELOW 230 DEGREES. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY PULLED OVER IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA NEAR MY HOME WHEN I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF MY HOOD. UPON OPENING THE HOOD, VOLUMES OF SMOKE CAME OUT. AND, THERE APPEARED TO BE A SMALL FIRE INSIDE THE ALTERNATOR. I POURED 3 BOTTLES OF WATER ON THE VERY HOT ALTERNATOR TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. I CALLED AAA FOR A TOW, BUT AFTER 20 MINUTES THE ALTERNATOR STOPPED SMOKING. THERE IS A GOODYEAR REPAIR SHOP A BLOCK AWAY-- THE JEEP STARTED, SO I DROVE IT THERE. AND, CANCELED AAA. THE GOODYEAR CONCURRED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS TOTALLY FRIED, SO I HAD THEM REPLACE IT--($700, WILL PROVIDE RECEIPT IF YOU REQUIRE IT). AFTER REPLACING IT THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. I CALLED AAA AGAIN, AND HAD THEM TOW IT TO MY JEEP DEALERSHIP. TOLD THEM OF THE INCIDENT. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I NEED TO REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE--($1,000), THAT SHORTED OUT THE RESULT OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE. I NEED MY JEEP FOR WORK, THEY ARE REPLACING THE PTCM ON MONDAY. I'VE SEEN ALTERNATOR RECALLS FOR SOME 2011-2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND WRANGLERS. I BELIEVE MY JEEP GC SHOULD BE INCLUDED--#T36 AND #P60.

Summary

MY VEHICLE IS NOW REGULARLY (AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND AT RANDOM) STALLING WHILE IN MOTION WHEN I BEGIN TO BRAKE AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. IT CUTS OFF IN MOTION AND LOSES ALL POWER STEERING; I LITERALLY HAVE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD (ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS) AND HAVE TO RESTART IT. I HAVE NOW BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. THERE WAS A PRIOR RECALL FOR A FUEL PUMP RELAY WHERE RANDOM STALLING CAN OCCUR BUT THAT RECALL PART HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED. I HAVE TAKEN TO CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. I JUST CONTACTED THE JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE AS A LAST RESORT AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP OR GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO CORRECT ISSUE (THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN...); INSTEAD THEY GAVE ME A DISCLAIMER THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY WOULD OPERATE LIKE THIS AND OFFER NO ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE WITH A VEHICLE THEY BUILT THAT IS CLEARLY MALFUNCTIONING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY.

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IN THE LIFT-GATE EXPLODED INTO THOUSANDS OF SHATTERED FRAGMENTS, WITHOUT CAUSE OR WARNING IN MY NON-MOVING VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS INSAFE TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING AREA AND I WAS INSIDE IT WITH MY FAMILY ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION. THE PRIOR EVENT ICCURRED WITH MY HUSBAND STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS HE CLOSED THE LIFT-GATE. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR 11 YEARS, AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD DESIGN OF THE REAR WINDOW GLASS. THE 2011 DESIGN HAS THE REAR WIPER AND MOTOR DIRECTLY MOUNTED ONTO THE GLASS, WHICH MAY BE THE PROBLEM. I SUFFERED GLASS CUTS AND GLASS DEBRIS INTO ONE EYE.

THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTICE. NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE JEEP STALLS WITHOUT ANY ELECTRICAL SYMPTOMS BUT THE STEERING, ENGINE, AND BRAKING SYSTEMS FAIL. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DECELERATION. I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE TOWARD A STOP. NORMALLY UNDER A HALF TANK OF GAS BUT EVEN THAT IS NOT RELIABLE. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR "JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING" YOU'LL FIND A PRETTY ROBUST COLLECTION OF STORIES WHERE CONSUMERS LIKE ME UNWITTINGLY PAID MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A CAR THAT IS TRYING TO KILL THEM. YOU'RE ANSWER TO THE TIPM RECALL (THE FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT BREAKER? THE FIRST HALF-ASS ATTEMPT BY CRYSLER TO TROUBLESHOOT THIS NIGHTMARE) SAYS "THE FACTUAL BASES OF THE PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS THAT ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY ARE UNSUPPORTED" WHICH I FOUND HILARIOUS SINCE I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE WITH AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT THAT THE ENTIRE INTERNET CANNOT FIND A STANDARD SOLUTION TO OTHER THAN TO SELL THE VEHICLE OFF TO ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING VICTIM.

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS JEEP 2ND HAND, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A "PROBLEM" IN THE HVAC SYSTEM. MANY 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. MY PROBLEMS RESULTED IN AN OVERHEATING, SMALL SMOKE/FIRE RELATED PROBLEM, WHICH I QUICKLY STOPPED. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, REPAIR COSTS HAVE BEEN APPROX $8,000--(I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES, I'LL ATTACH SOME, BUT THEY ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO SCAN AND ATTACH ALL NOW. WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM IF NECESSARY). THE FOLLOWING ALL REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE: 1)...REPLACED THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE CONDENSER AND ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS FOR HEATING/COOLING, INCLUDING LINES CARRYING FREON, 2)...REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, 3)...REPLACED THE BLEND DOORS AND ACTUATORS THREE TIMES--(TWICE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY). BUT, THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THE PROBLEMS REOCCURRED SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER REPAIRING. 4)...A MONTH AGO THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEATER CORE, AND IT'S HOUSING, CLAIMING THAT THE HOUSING WAS MELTED BY THE HEATER CORE. 5)...THE RESULT OF REGULARLY OVERHEATING--(COOLANT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 226-230-F), COOLANT HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN LEAKING ON ALL PARTS BELOW/AROUND THE LEAKS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, CAUSING ABNORMAL CORROSION. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING, CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TWO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. FIRST, AT 99,000 THE CAMSHAFT BEGAN TO FAIL DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND FUEL. I AM TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER REFUSE TO REPAIR/REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND, THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH, TYPICALLY WHEN BREAKING FOR A STOP, OR BREAKING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT I SEE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

Summary

VEHICLE HAD A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #3. TOOK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY FOUND A ROUNDED CAMSHAFT AND BAD LIFTERS. VEHICLE HAS 104,000 ON IT AND I INQUIRED AS TO OPTIONS. #1 - $4,600 REPAIR (MIN IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE) AND THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES GETTING LIFTERS DUE TO BACK ORDER #2 - REPLACE ENGINE, QUOTED $8,600 AND ONCE AGAIN WAS UNSURE THE TIMING AS NO LONG OR SHORT BLOCKS WERE AVAILABLE. INQUIRED AS TO WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING, AS THE OWNER, I COULD'VE DONE. THAT SOMETIMES THIS JUST HAPPENS AND IF IT WAS CLOSER IN YEARS TO THE END OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD COVER, HOWEVER SINCE IT IS 7 YEARS OLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. FIND IT SURPRISING AND UNACCEPTABLE THAT WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH YOU CAN FIND THAT THE 5.7 HEMI HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ROUNDED CAMSHAFTS DUE TO BAD LIFTERS. FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY WERE COMMENTING ON HOW HARD IT WAS TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PARTS TO REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ARRIVING AT AN INTERSECTION, AND I DECREASE THE SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, AND THE BRAKES GET HARD. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR 3 TIMES TO THE JEEP SHOP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THIS PROBLEM STARTED 2 MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE CAR DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS ON THE SCREEN OR AFTERWARDS WHEN THEY ARE READ. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS STAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.

Summary

I STARTED THE JEEP UP IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED A WHINING SOUND THAT CHANGED WITH ENGINE RPMS. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR WARNINGS ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A FAILURE OF ANY COMPONENTS. I ONLY HAD TO RUN TO THE STORE 4 MILES AWAY AND THOUGHT I WOULD LOOK AT IT WHEN I RETURNED HOME. ONCE I GOT TO THE STORE, I SMELT AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I RAISED THE HOOD, THE ALTERNATOR WAS PRODUCING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SMOKE. I WAS CONCERNED MY VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO CATCH FIRE. I HAD SOME ONE BRING ME SOME TOOLS SO I COULD DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED, I LOCATED A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR ($400) LOCALLY AT A PARTS STORE AS IT WAS A SUNDAY EVENING AND NO DEALERS WERE OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR IN THE STORE PARKING LOT. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD TO ENSURE ALL WAS GOOD WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR, IT WAS ONCE AGAIN SO HOT I COULD NOT TOUCH IT. THERE WAS NO SMOKE AS OF YET, BUT IT DOES SEEM THAT THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR TO CATCH FIRE. I AM SURE THE NEW ALTERNATOR WILL ALSO BE DAMAGED IF THE JEEP IS DRIVEN ANY MORE. CURRENTLY I AM FORCED TO LEAVE MY JEEP PARKED UNTIL I CAN ENSURE I HAVE AN EMERGENCY BACK UP AVAILABLE. THE JEEP DOES ACT NORMAL NOW THE ALTERNATOR IS CHANGED OUT, AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING AS NORMAL. I AM JUST CONCERNED THE NEW ALTERNATOR MAY FAIL AGAIN AND CAUSE A FIRE IN MY JEEP. NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR MY NORMAL COMMUTE. THE JEEP ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE MANY TIME IS SEARCHES ONLINE AND FEEL THAT THERE ARE UNDERLYING CAUSES THAT CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE FIRES. EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO OPERATE IN THIS CONDITION.

IN ONE INSTANCE, IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO GO INTO GEAR. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED (PAULY TOYOTA- CRYSTAL LAKE, IL.) WHO RECOMMENDED BRINGING IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP. BROUGHT TO CRYSTAL LAKE, IL CRYSLER JEEP DODGE WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AS NO FAULTS APPEARED UNDER TEST. FLUIDS WERE CLEAN, AND AT PROPER LEVELS. WAS TOLD TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL CONDITION REAPPEARED, AND IT WOULD BE REINVESTIGATED.

Summary

EVERY FEW WEEKS, FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WHEN BRAKING AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLS. POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING ARE LOST. THE CAR NEEDS TO THEN BE PLACED INTO NEUTRAL, OR PARK, TO BE RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-40 MPH AND HAS RESULTED IN NEAR-MISS ACCIDENTS. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE WHILE ON HIGHWAY EXIT RAMPS. I WOULD BRING IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, BUT SINCE IT HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY THE LIKELIHOOD OF IT HAPPENING TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSIS IS NOT GOOD. I HAVE ATTACHED A DOCUMENT WITH LINKS TO OTHERS' COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. AS YOU WILL READ, THERE IS NO DEALER CONSENSUS FOR A DIAGNOSIS, OR REPAIR. LASTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL (P54) IN 2014 THAT INVOLVED FIXING STALLING. THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR AT THE TIME, SO THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THIS SITUATION.

WHEN YOU TURN ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LIGHT STAYS SOLID & THE FOG LIGHTS BLINK. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT WILL START OUT FLASHING CORRECTLY & AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS IT WILL START FLASHING FAST WITH NO LIGHT IN THE REAR AT ALL. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER & THEY WANT $1400 TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TIPM. THERE IS NO LESS THAN 15 VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ON HOW TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WHICH MEANS YOU ARE WITHOUT YOUR VEHICLE FOR 2-3 DAYS & YOU DON'T HAVE A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE POLICE FOR NOT USING OUR TURN SIGNALS. THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS LISTED ON YOUR SITE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY A MANDATORY RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED. FOR A CONSUMER HAVING TO PAY $1400 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR WHAT I THINK IS A PRETTY BIG SAFETY ISSUE IS JUST WRONG.

THIS IS THE WORSE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! NEVER AGAIN! I BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. AS SOON AS I GET A JUMP AND BRING IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED THE MECHANIC STATES NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR OR THE BATTERY. NO CODES POP UP AS ANYTHING IS WRONG. I'VE BEEN IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WHERE MY CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET THE CAR TO WORK WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN. THEN IT WAS FINE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANYTHING AS FAR AS RECALLS. THAT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WAS THE CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED. AND ANOTHER PROBLEM IS MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULD GET STUCK. IVE HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE AND THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE IT IS NO CONCERN. AS I READ MAJORITY OF COMPLAIN IS FALLING TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TIPM BUT NOTHING IS GETTING DONE ABOUT IT. I CONSTANTLY CHECK THIS SITE TO SEE IF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS BY FORCING MORE RECALLS ON ELECTRICAL OR TIPM BOARDS, BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE, MANY LIVES TAKEN AWAY OVER IT????

VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING INDICATION. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AT 98 DEGREE TEMPERATURE WHILE ON A STRAIGHT AWAY MAJOR HIGHWAY. NO PREVIOUS BATTERY WARNING LIGHT / CHARGING FAILURE WAS INDICATED BEFORE THE EVENT. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST ABLE TO GET PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS SUCCESSFULLY TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP AUTHORIZED DEALER 20 MILES AWAY. DIAGNOSED COMPLETE ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH NEW DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER BRAND (MOPAR). WHEN LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP JUST 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE BATTERY CHARGING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE MADE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON BATTERY POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY ALTERNATOR (THE NEW REPLACEMENT). I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD ONLY REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH CHRYSLER INDICATED BRAND. IT IS KNOWN THAT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2012-2014 HAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATORS WHICH ARE SAME USED ON 2011. THIS JEEP HAS NOW HAD TWO REPLACEMENTS WITH LESS THAN 88 K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. RECOMMEND ADDING 2011 JEEP MODELS TO RECALL LIST AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

THE BREAKS WENT COMPLETELY OUT, I WAS FORCING MY WHOLE BODY WEIGHT ON THE BREAKS TO GET THE JEEP TO STOP!! THERE WAS A TRUCK COMING AND ALL I COULD THINK OF IS MY SMALL CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE VERY QUICK RESPONSES, BUT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN AT ALL OR EVEN AFTER A RECALL FIX???? I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO TERRIFIED IN MY WHOLE LIFE AND BEING SO HELPLESS IN THIS SITUATION! I AM REALLY SHAKEN UP AND GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT. IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO BE A CLOSE CALL. CHRYSLER YOU NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR GET ALL OF THESE MODELS OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE KILLED. NOW I HAVE TO TRADE THIS JEEP IN BECAUSE IT IS A DEATH TRAP AND I WILL ALWAYS BE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY TOTING MY KIDS AROUND.

THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED IT WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK OUT OF NOWHERE MY WHEEL HOT HARD AND WHEN I WAS PRESSING MY ACCELERATOR IT WAS NOT WORKING. , THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME I HAD TO GET ON TOP OF THE SIDE WALK BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER IT ENOUGH TO MAKE MY TURN. AND MY THIRD TIME HAPPENED THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS GOING UNDER THE BRIDGE LUCKILY FOR ME NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BUT THIS PROBLEM IS A SITUATION READY TO GO WRONG. OUT OF ALL THESE TIMES I HAVE BEEN ALONE IN THE VEHICLE GOING ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING. ITS ALWAYS A SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. NO CODES NO NOTHING. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS ALL HARD THAT I CAN BARELY TURN IT TO GET ON MY RIGHT LANE SO I CAN PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT , FROM THERE IT STARTS WORKING FINE LIKE IF NOTHING HAPPENED.

LAST WEEK, I RECEIVED A POSTCARD IN THE MAIL FROM MCGOVERN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (NEWTON, MA) NOTIFYING ME OF "AN URGENT AIR BAG RECALL." THE POSTCARD WAS CLEARLY DESIGNED TO MIMIC AN OFFICIAL NOTICE, WITH A BRIGHT RED BACKGROUND AND YELLOW LETTERING, AS WELL AS DIRE WARNINGS THAT "[I]N THE EVENT OF A CRASH METAL FRAGMENTS COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE YOU OR YOUR VEHICLE'S PASSENGERS." KNOWING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS UNAFFECTED BY ANY AIR BAG RECALL (INFORMATION THAT I CONFIRMED THROUGH THE NHTSA WEBSITE AFTER RECEIVING THE POSTCARD), IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS POSTCARD WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A MARKETING TACTIC. WHILE THE POSTCARD DISPLAYED CORRECT INFORMATION (MY NAME, THE VEHICLE'S MAKE/MODEL, AND THE VEHICLE'S VIN) AND INDICATED IN ALL-CAPITAL LETTERS "RECALL: T59," I ALSO KNEW THAT THE "T59" RECALL CODE WAS FOR A MINOR ISSUE WITH A WATER SHIELD IN THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES. ACCORDINGLY, I BELIEVE THAT MCGOVERN CHRYSLER AND/OR FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES IS ATTEMPTING TO USE PUBLICITY AROUND THE RECENT AIRBAG RECALLS AS A DISINGENUOUS PLOY TO SCARE CUSTOMERS INTO VISITING THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY FURTHER DOCUMENTATION.

WITHIN 5 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AS MENTIONED, WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF TURNING ON VEHICLE AND STARTING YOUR COMMUTE. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ONLY UNDER BRAKING AND TURNING CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND BOTH TIMES THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS HAPPENS ONCE/MO, HOWEVER, IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS WHICH OBVIOUSLY BROUGHT ME TO THE POINT IN WHICH I'M DOCUMENTING AND WRITING A REPORT. I CALLED THE SAME JEEP DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY CLAIM THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND WOULD NEED TO DIVE DEEPER IN ORDER TO PROPERLY UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL LEVELS COULD BE LOW, WHICH COULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE, BUT I REGULARLY CHECK MY OIL LEVELS AND THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE. I'VE NOTICED THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE JEEP HAS DETERMINED WHAT EXACTLY IS CAUSING THEIR VECHICLES TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT'S A VERY SCARY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF A LARGE SEMI OR ANOTHER LARGE VEHICLE IS BARRELLING DOWN ON YOU WHILE YOU ARE UNDER BRAKE AND TURNING, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE TURN/CORNER. I WOULD LIKE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT JEEP IS DOING AND WHAT NHTSA KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE AS A CONSUMER. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND NOT BY TOSSING PARTS AT THE PROBLEM THAT WON'T FIT IT, THIS JUST CAUSES THE CONSUMER TO SPEND SIGNIFICANTS AMOUNT OF MONEY WITHOUT ADDRESSING AND/OR FIXING THE PROBLEM.

THIS RESULTS IN BLOCKED/IMPAIRED VISION WHILE ON THE ROADWAY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Summary

OVER A PERIOD OF ONE WEEK, BOTH OF THE TUBULAR SIDE STEPS BROKE OFF MY JEEP. IN ONE CASE, I WAS STANDING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TUBULAR SIDE STEP IN ORDER TO REACH A WINDSHIELD WIPER. WITH NO WARNING, THE ENTIRE TUBE DISLODGED FROM ALL THREE BRACKETS AND FELL TO THE GROUND WITH ME FALLING TOO. ONE WEEK LATER, WHILE PICKING UP A CUSTOMER AT HIS HOTEL, HE USED THE PASSENGER SIDE TUBULAR SIDE STEP TO HELP HIM ENTER THE CAR. AGAIN, WITH NO WARNING THE TUBE BROKE OFF AND FELL TO THE GROUND. MY CUSTOMER WAS INJURED PRETTY BADLY AS HIS SHIN WAS CUT OPEN BY ONE OF THE MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR THE TUBULAR SIDE STEP. UPON INSPECTION OF BOTH TUBES, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE TUBES ARE VERY LIGHT WALL AND CORRODED AWAY IN THE VICINITY OF EACH FASTENER, ALLOWING THE FASTENERS TO PULL RIGHT THROUGH THE TUBE WALL. WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING. NEITHER TUBE SHOWED ANY SIGNS OF BEING LOOSE. THE FASTENERS WERE (STILL ARE) TIGHTLY SECURED TO THE MOUNTING BRACKETS. WITH THIS TYPE OF "NO WARNING" FAILURE, ONE CAN IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A JEEP IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND A TUBULAR SIDE STEP FALLS OFF. I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. FYI - MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER EXPRESSED THEIR CONDOLENCES, BUT STATED THAT ON A 7 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT BE JEEP'S ISSUE IF IT CORRODED AND FELL OFF. I SUGGESTED THAT THE TUBULAR SIDE STEP FALLING OFF COULD HAVE THE SAME DEVASTATING EFFECT AS A BUMPER FALLING OFF. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD ENGAGE THE DEALER IN MORE FREQUENT MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS. YET, THEY CONFIRMED THAT CHECKING THE SIDE STEPS IS NOT ON THE MULTI-POINT LIST. I'M MAKING YOU AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I DIDN'T REPORT IT AND LATER HEARD OF A DEATH OR INJURY AS A RESULT OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANOTHER JEEP OWNER OR TO AN INNOCENT VICTIM.

Summary

SAFETY ISSUE- FIRE/EXPLOSION: GASOLINE FUMES OUTSIDE OF JEEP AT 63K MILES. DEALER COMPLETED SMOKE TEST AND REPORTED SMOKE EMITTED FROM TOP OF GAS TANK INDICATES LEAK FROM ONE OF SEVERAL ACCESS PORTS (FILLER PIPE ACCESS, FUEL PUMP ACCESS). DEALER CANNOT CONFIRM WITHOUT $1,600 FEE TO DROP TANK TO CONFIRM DIAGNOSIS. DEALER FELT LEAK DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN/MANUFACTURE/ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION OF PARTS (O-RINGS/SEALS/ETC.). I AM ORIGINAL OWNER, RETIRED,ON FIXED INCOME AND HAVE COMPLETED ALL RECALLS AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE. DEALER SUGGESTED I CALL JEEP CORPORATE (800-992-1997) AND ASK FOR "GOODWILL" REPAIR. AFTER 17 PHONE CALLS TO JEEP CORPORATE I CONTINUE TO GET: 1) NO REPLY, 2) NO CALLBACKS 3) CATCH 22 STATING I MUST PAY FOR TANK REMOVAL TO CONFIRM DIAGNOSIS, REPAIR AND DETERMINE IF PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. JEEP CORPORATE (KENISHA -OPERATOR KB805) TOLD ME TODAY (2-20-18) THAT DECISIONS WAS MADE NOT TO GRANT GOODWILL REPAIR DUE TO DEALER REPORT THAT LEAK PROBABLY (NOT CONFIRMED) DUE TO CORROSION AROUND ACCESS PORTS ON TOP OF GASOLINE AND WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. LEAKS DUE TO CORROSION BY "WEAR AND TEAR" AND NOT FAULTY DESIGN/ MANUFACTURE/ASSEMBLY OR INSTALLATION AT FACTORY. I WAS TOLD I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FULL COST OF REPAIR, IRRESPECTIVE OF POTENTIAL FIRES OR EXPLOSIONS DUE TO GASOLINE FUMES EMITTING FROM CORROSION ON TOP OF PLASTIC GAS TALK. I DISAGREE. THE DESIGN (INACCESSIBILITY TO TOP OF GAS TANK0), PARTS (NON-CORROSIVE STAINLESS STEEL METAL RETAINERS, AND O-RINGS), AND QUESTIONABLE ASSEMBLY HAVE RESULTED IN THIS POTENTIAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION TRAP. WITH SAFETY BEING IN THE NAME OF NHTSA, I AM HOPEFUL INVESTIGATION AND RECALL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

Summary

SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017, MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOUR TIMES DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS CHECKED ONCE PER MONTH UP UNTIL DECEMBER, BUT EACH TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH PARTS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER, AFTER EACH REPAIR VISIT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER A FEW DAYS. BETWEEN REPAIR VISITS A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES OCCURED: *AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATING AT HIGH SPEED (JAN '18) *ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING (JAN '18) *BLOWING COOL AIR ON ONE SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE OTHER (SEPT '17) *DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHEN UNATTENDED (SEPT '17) *WINDOWS GOING DOWN HALF WAY WHEN UNATTENDED (OCT '17) *RADIO POWERING ON WHEN TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION (NOV '17) THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STRETCH OF ROAD WITH THREE VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. DUE TO ONGOING ISSUES, THIS WEEK I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO JEEP FOR ANOTHER ASSESSMENT. THE JEEP ADVISER CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY STATING MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1282 OTHERWISE THE CAR WOULDN'T START WITHOUT A CONSTANT CHARGE. THE BATTERY WAS JUST REPLACED A YEAR AGO IN JUNE 2017. WITH ALL OF THE ISSUES MENTIONED IT'S CLEAR THAT THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A DESIGN ISSUE/FLAW THAT POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS. THE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED OR RE-INVESTIGATED FOR THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE THE ALTERNATOR AND POWER MODULE REPLACEMENT. MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE ISSUES MENTIONED COULD BE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE TIPM. MY REQUEST IS THAT CAS, NHTSA, AND CHRYSLER CONSIDER OR RECONSIDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED FOR BOTH SAFETY CONCERNS AND THE UNDUE REPAIR EXPENSES PAID BY CONSUMERS THAT APPEAR TO BE DIRECTLY LINKED TO FAULTY DESIGN.

THE PUSH START BUTTON HAS ISSUES STARTING THE ENGINE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ONLY WAY THE DEALER WILL FIX THE ISSUE IS IF THE PROBLEM IS SEEN 1ST HAND AND OCCURS FOR LONGER THEN 8 SECONDS. I HAVE PAID FOR MULTIPLE RENTAL CARS AND SPENT MULTIPLE HOURS AT THE DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AND IT KEEPS RECURRING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX IT WITHOUT RE-OCCURRENCE. MY FINAL POINT IS THAT YESTERDAY WHEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE MY CAR STARTED AFTER ITS SECOND TRY, I THEN DROVE ONTO THE STREET AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT ANY CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A BUSY STREET WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IN THE CAR. THIS HSE RISK HAS CAUSED ME TO BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVABILITY OF MY VEHICLE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP!

I NOTICED THE LEATHER DASH BUBBLING A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN IT'S GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. AFTER RESEARCHING, IT IS THE RESULT OF AN INCOMPLETE PROCESS IN THE MANUFACTURING FROM A VENDOR. THE DASH HAS BUBBLED SO BAD THAT THE DEFROST VENTS ASR DISTORTED AND NO LONGER ARE EFFECTIVE. ALSO, IT APPARS IT COULD DIRECTLY CAUSE AN INEFFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. BOTH ARE MAJOR SAFETY HAZARDS. AFTER TALKING WITH BOTH FCA AND A LOCAL DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT FCA HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS WITH MANY COMPLAINTS BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT THE DEFECT.

Summary

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS REPEATEDLY INCURRED SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM (MODULE) WHICH CONTROLS THE CAR'S QUAD AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY SKINNER AND DAMULIS, RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N.Y. (AT LEAST) SIX TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AT GREAT EXPENSE - WITH NO APPARENT RESOLUTION BUT TO INCUR REPAIRS COSTS IN EXCESS OF $10,000. THE 8/6/17 INCIDENT TOO, DEALT WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM WHICH, THIS TIME, CAUSED THE REAR WHEEL TO FALL OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. MY WIFE AND I INCURRED INJURIES, HOWEVER, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT RELATED. JUST TWO DAYS AGO, THE CAR'S SUSPENSION SYSTEM LIGHTED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. PICTURES WERE TAKEN, I CALLED THE AUTO DEALER, HOWEVER, I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. IN REVIEWING FILED COMPLAINTS COUPLED WITH A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, THIS IS ALL TO FAMILIAR, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALERS' REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FULL SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER. NHTSA NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2011 CHRYSLER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE - OUTLAND EDITION - ASAP! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!

Summary

I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 2011 WITH THE 5.7 4WD. WITHIN THE PAST 5 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE JEEP DIE WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. IT IS AS IF YOU TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE FIRST TIME I WAS SLOWING TO EXIT HWY ON A RIGHT HAND EXIT AND THE CAR DIED ON THE RAMP WITH OTHER CARS BEHIND ME HAVING TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY SO I COULD RESTART. THE SECOND TIME I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THE THIRD TIME I WAS ENTERING A ROUNDABOUT TURNING RIGHT THEN LEFT AND IT DIED IN THE ROUNDABOUT CAUSING OTHERS TO SLOW AND STOP UNTIL I COULD RESTART. THE FOURTH TIME (THIS WEEK) I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON HWY FROM 55 TO TURN LEFT ACROSS LEFT HAND LANE AS I STARTED THE TURN THE CAR DIED. AS WITH ALL THESE, IT WAS IF SOMEONE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. NO POWER TO ENGINE, STEERING, BRAKES. THE TIMES BEFORE I MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT BUT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS LOW ENOUGH THAT IT DIDN'T SCARE ME, THIS LAST TIME I WAS SCARED. THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT 55 MPH. I HAD NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THEIR WAY. I HAD TO HOPE THEY SLOWED DOWN TO LET ME COAST ACROSS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THEY DID SLOW DOWN AND SAW ME SO I COULD COAST ACROSS THE LEFT LANE AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE SEEN REVIEWS OF OTHERS HAVING THESE ISSUES. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN TO JEEP TO REPORT BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED OR HURT BEFORE THEY ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. BASED ON MY PAST EXPERIENCE NOW, I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT SOMEONE. I WILL BE LOOKING AT GETTING RID OF IT IF CHRYSLER DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

AFTER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) HAD A BUILT IN FUEL PUMP RELAY THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINED HAD FAILED. SO LIKE THEM I TESTED THE TIPM AND DID DISCOVER THAT THE RELAY HAD FAILED, LUCKILY IN THE OPEN POSITION. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT THE 14V-530 RECALL TO ADD AN EXTERNAL RELAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT I DID NOT FIND THE RELAY, EVEN THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED IT HAD BEEN COMPLETED. THIS WAS, LUCKILY, FOR ME ONLY AN INCONVENIENT ISSUE, BUT HAD IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE STALLED ENGINE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND/OR OTHERS AND THE PERSONS WITHIN.

HAD VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS ON SEPT 13TH AND JEEP TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS STALLING OCCURS, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND APPARENTLY NO FAULT CODES GENERATED. WHEN MOTOR STALLS, WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAVE ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF ROAD TRYING TO GET STOPPED. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING AND BRAKING TO TURN OFF OR ONTO A HIGHWAY.

Summary

ON SEPTEMBER 7TH 2017 WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM JFK AIRPORT MY CAR LOST BRAKING POWER, WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THE BRAKES TOUCHED THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL KEEP MOVING. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT MULTIPLE CARS THANKS TO GOD I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND WENT OVER A CURB AND GRASS AND INTO A SERVICE PLAZA ON BELT PARKWAY. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, WE COULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF US GOING 55-60 MPH. WE GOT SO SACRED WE WERE ALL SHAKING, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUES. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES NOW THE CAR SLOWS DOWN BUT DOES NOT COME TO A STOP IF YOU ARE MOVING FAST. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH CAUSED SIMILAR ISSUE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM MY CARS VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 63000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP SOMEONE FROM GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING TO BE DISABLED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, 11/12/16, I WAS TAKING AN EXIT OFF OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE APPROACHING RED LIGHT, THE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND WOULD BOT SLOW THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO I LET THE VEHICLE COAST. AS I WENT TO TURN RIGHT, I REALIZED THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING EITHER. AFTER CROSSING OVER 2 LANES I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD STALLED. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PAID $700 FOR SOMETHING, THEN DROVE IT BACK SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED. FIVE MONTHS LATER, 4/20/17, SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. IT WAS 8:30AM AND I WAS BRINGING MY 18MO OLD TO DAYCARE WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AHEAD AND REALIZE IT WAS STIFF AND NOT WORKING AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, AGAIN, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ACCELERATED. I FOUGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN INTO A NEARBY GAS STATION AFTER THE LETTING VEHICLE COAST TO A SLOWER SPEED. AFTER BOTH INCIDENCES, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. IT HESITATED A FEW TIMES THEN CRANKED AND FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AFTERWARDS. FURTHERMORE, DURING BOTH INCIDENCES I WAS VERY SLIGHTLY TURNING TO THE RIGHT; THE FIRST TIME TO EXIT THE HWY AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS VEERING INTO THE RIGHT LANE. DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 65MPH. DURING THE SECOND, I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50MPH.

Summary

TODAY, MONDAY, MARCH 6TH, 2017; I WAS DRIVING TO WORK; A COUPLE OF MILES FROM MY HOUSE MY VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY FOR ME, IT WAS A LOW-SPEED AREA AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK DID NOT TURN ON AGAIN DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED A TOW AND IT TOOK IT TO A SHOP. I LEFT THE TRUCK THE ENTIRE DAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING IT WORKED AGAIN AND THAT APPARENTLY THERE WAS A MAL-FUNCTION WITH THE RELAY SYSTEM. THEY SAID THE GAS-PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND SUDDENLY WHEN THEY WERE CHECKING THE TPIM IT WORKED BY ITSELF. THEY COULD ONLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A MORE PROFOUND CHECK. I RECALLED I GOT A CARFAX NOT SO LONG AGO AND GOING BACK TO IT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TPIM FAILURES... THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WITH A VERY HIGH RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I WORK IN MANUFACTURING SUPPLYING PARTS TO DIFFERENT OEM'S AND IN THE PFMEA (POTENTIAL FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS) THIS WOULD HAVE A SEVERITY OF 10!!! I WILL FILE ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND WILL CALL THE NHTS TO GET MY TPIM REPLACED ASAP! I REALLY HOPE THEY CAN MAKE THIS QUICKLY. IF I CAN GET ANOTHER CAR I WILL DO BUT I WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY ON THE TRUCK FOR SURE.

Summary

THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL EXPERIENCE ENGINE STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE FUNCTIONS. IT HAS LIKEWISE STALLED AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNALS WHICH IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEEDS EXPECTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT TO MOVE WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL (P54) RELATED TO THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER THE CHEAP EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS FIX THEY EMPLOYED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS INSUFFICIENT AT BEST. IN FACT, THE ISSUES WITH OUR FAMILY VEHICLE HAVE ACTUALLY WORSENED SINCE THE P54 RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN MAY OF 2015. THE VEHICLE'S PROBLEMS HAVE NOW PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START: A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF THESE DANGEROUS JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OUTLINING SIMILAR ISSUES I.E., THE VEHICLES BEING DIFFICULT TO START OR NOT STARTING AT ALL, VEHICLES' POWER WINDOWS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, DOOR LOCKS OPENING AND LOCKING ON THEIR OWN, HORN BLARING, THE VEHICLE NOT RECOGNIZING THE FOB, ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMPS REMAINING ON AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND STALLING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. A COMMON THEME RELATED TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER FOR THE VEHICLES OR THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). IT SEEMS FIAT - CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OEM MANUFACTURED TIPM PARTS FOR SOME TIME, SINCE 2007, BUT TOOK THE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE ROUTE OF CORRECTING ONLY A SMALL AND LESS DANGEROUS ISSUE OF THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. HENCE THEIR COURT ORDERED P54 EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP WIRING HARNESS, WHICH ON A GOOD DAY WILL CORRECT THE FUEL PUMP RUN-ON. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IS THE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE MANDATE A SAFETY RECALL.

Summary

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RATTLE AND SHAKE WHILE RUNNING. WHEN STOPPED ON A RED LIGHT THE WIPER CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE TURNED IT SELF OFF. AFTER 2 TRIES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE I SMELLED BURNED RUBBER AND OPTED TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND ABANDON THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE HAZARD LIGHTS LASTED LESS THAN 2 MINUTES BEFORE DYING COMPLETELY. I WAS STRANDED ON A 3 LANE AVENUE WITHOUT ANY HAZARD LIGHTS OR ANY PUBLIC LIGHTING. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK FINALLY CAME IN THE CAR WAS BEEN PULLED UP THE FLATBED THE REAR DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF AND ALL THE PAPERS WHERE DISPERSED THRU THE AVENUE AT NIGHT. WE HAD TO SHUT THE DOOR WITH DUCT TAPE AND TAKE IT HOME. NEXT DAY THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC WHERE HE FIRST TRIED CHANGING THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS LESS THAN 6 MONTH OLD) AND HE NOTICED THAT THE POSITIVE CABLE TURNED CHERRY RED. HE PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE BATTERY AND TO FOLLOW THE CABLES. HE FOUND A MAIN CABLE CLOSE TO THE ALTERNATOR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT THE COVERING HAD PEALED OFF AND WAS MAKING CONTACT WITH THE BODY. HE PROCEEDED TO CHANGE THIS AND ALSO FOUND OUT THE ALTERNATOR HAD BEEN FULLY BURNED OUT (ALTHOUGH I DID NOT SEE FIRE OR SUSTANCIAL SMOKE I DID FEEL THAT NASTY PLASTIC/RUBBER SMOKE SCENT) . HE TOLD US HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS VEHICLE HAD NOT CAUGHT FIRE DURING THIS INCIDENT DUE TO THE WIRING FAILURE. AFTER REPLACING THE CABLE, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY IT NOW SEEMS THE ECU OR OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENT WAS ALSO DAMAGED DURING THE INCIDENT. I HAVE LEARNED OF OTHER VEHICLES (SAME YEAR MODEL MILAGE) WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, ONE OF THEM HAD TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR ITS ALTERNATOR.

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND BOUGHT NEW STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS WHEN STALLED I WOULD HAVE NO POWER STEERING, OR BREAKS. FIRST HAPPENED AT ABOUT 8000 MILES, I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY THIS WAS THE FIRST OF NOW 6 TIMES IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DID GET A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR A TIPM WHICH DECRIBES THE ISSUE VERY CLOSELY, AND YES I DID HAVE THEM DO THE RECALL 2 TIMES ACTUALLY BUT VEHICLE IS STILL STALLING RANDOMLY NEARLY CAUSING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW, BUT NOW MY CASE MANAGER FROM JEEP CUSTOMER CARE SAYS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRENTY AND ARE CHARGING ME WHEN THEY STILL CANT PROPERLY DIAGNOS THE ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 8000 MILES. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY ORIGINAL BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY OR THE RECALL. IT IS JEEPS FAULT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT THE LAST 5 TIMES. I FEEL UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND CHILDREN TO BE IN THIS JEEP, IT IS A DEATH TRAP!!!! I CAN'T SELL THE JEEP BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYONE ELSE. LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING I WAS GOING 55 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO GO ACROSS A BRIDGE. I ENDED UP IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC ALMOST HITTING THE GUARD RAIL. EVERYONE WAS HONKING, I PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE THE SECOND TIME. JEEP DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE WHO'S LIFE THEY ARE PUTTING AT RISK. I JUST WANT A PROPER DIAGNOSIS, OR MY MONEY BACK I PAID FOR THE DEATH TRAP.

TOOK MY JEEP TO AUTONATION IN LITTLETON CO. FOR BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL. NOT SURE WHAT IF ANYTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I CONTINUE TO HAVE DIFFICULTY STOPPING AND CAN HEAR A HISSING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMMITMENT FROM THIS JEEP DEALER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I PLAN ON TAKING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. BUT WANTED TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND ONE THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO ME OR SOMEONE ELSE.

Summary

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

Summary

MY WIFE COMPLAINED ABOUT HER BRAKE PEDAL GOING FARTHER DOWN AND CAR TAKES LONGER DISTANCE TO STOP. A COUPLE TIMES SHE SAID THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR SO SHE PUMPED THE PEDAL AND SAID SHE WAS VERY LUCKY IT STOPPED RIGHT BEFORE SHE WOULD HAVE HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. BRAKE LIGHT THEN WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT MY EXPENSE. WE HAD A RECALL DONE PREVIOUSLY ON THE BOOSTER BECAUSE THE BOOSTER WOULD GET WATER IN IT SO THEIR FIX WAS TO PUT A GUARD OVER THE ALREADY DAMAGED RUSTED BOOSTER. IF TESTED GOOD AT THAT TIME, THEY WASHED THEIR HANDS OF ANY DAMAGED LIKE RUST THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE AND CAUSE THE BOOSTER TO DO THIS. THAT'S LIKE PUTTING SHINGLES OVER A BAD ROOF THAT LEAKED AND IS ROTTED. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ACCIDENTS THAT COULD AND EVENTUALLY WILL HAPPEN. I AM SURE SOME HAVE HAPPENED ALREADY. THE NUMBER ONE THING ON A VEHICLE YOU DO NOT TRY TO SHORT CUT IS BRAKES!!!!

Summary

THE BRAKE BOOSTER STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY GOING 55MPH COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE BREAK BOOSTER (P14) INDICATING THAT CORROSION MAY OCCUR AND WATER COULD BE INGESTED. CHRYSLER PUT A SHIELD (BAND AID) TO PREVENT CORROSION. THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND MARKED COMPLETE ON MY VEHICLE. ONE YEAR AND 7 MONTHS LATER MY BRAKE BOOSTER FAILS AND THE EVER SO HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY(THAT WAS SARCASM BECAUSE THEY WERE HORRIBLE) ASSOCIATES AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DID A DIAGNOSIS, DETERMINING THAT CORROSION WAS NOT CAUSE OF MY BREAK BOOSTER FAILING. SO NOW I HAVE MY PERSONAL MECHANIC REPLACE THE PART. THE PART ORDEED DID NOT FIT. ALSO, THE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING. SO NOW I NEED BOTH PARTS, WHICH WILL COST ME IN THE UPPER AREA OF $290, NOR INCLUDING TAX. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER PART. THE WHOLE PART IS DEFFECTIVE FOR THE MAKE, MODLE AND YEAR. CHRYSLER IS SIMPLY NEEDS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PART. NOT PUT A SHIELD(BAND AID) IT HOPING IT WILL HOLD. I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER OUT THERE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.

Summary

WHEN THE JEEP WAS STARTED IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. ALSO THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. ALL OF THE THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE ALSO ON. SO THE CAR WAS LEFT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING BUT NOTHING ELSE WORKING. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE ENGINE WOULD NOT WORK SO THE CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO TURN OFF THE CAR. THE RESPONSE WAS TO TAKE OFF THE BATTERY CABLE. THE BATTERY IS UNDER THE SEAT AND CAN NOT BE REMOVED WITH OUT TOOLS. AT THIS POINT THE CAR OVER HEATED AND WAS PUSHING OUT COOLANT ONTO THE GROUND. I FINALLY HAD TO OPEN THE FUSE / RELAY BOX IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND START PULLING RELAYS UNTIL THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I HAD NO OTHER WAY OF GETTING THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING AND THE FEAR WAS SOMETHING WOULD GET HOT ENOUGH TO CATCH ON FIRE. ALL OF THIS RESULTED IN OVER $1600.00 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE.

Summary

THE LEATHER COVERING THE TOP OF DASH UNDER WINDSHIELD HAS COME LOOSE, DISLODGING THE DEFROSTER VENT AND BLOCKING AIRFLOW FROM THE DEFROSTER. DEFROSTER VENT CANNOT BE RESEATED BECAUSE OF MIS-SHAPED LEATHER. WHILE DRIVING DURING EARLY MORNING, CONDENSATION ON WINDSHIELD COULD NOT BE CLEARED BY DEFROSTER BECAUSE NO AIRFLOW WAS REACHING THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND PULL THE LEATHER AWAY FROM THE VENT OPENING TO ALLOW WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT CANNOT TELL ME WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED. THEY WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE LEATHER STARTED COMING LOOSE 2 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN ONLINE JEEP FORUMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL VINYL SHOP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIX WITHOUT REMOVING THE WINDSHIELD; WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT BREAKING IT. NEW WINDSHIELD FOR OVERLAND MODEL WITH RAIN SENSOR IS OVER $1,000. WINTER IS APPROACHING, BUT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF ICE AND SNOW BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.

Summary

1ST THE SENSOR FOR "KEY NOT DETECTED" DISPLAYED.I HAD IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER, IT RETURNED BUT THIS TIME ALL THE SENSORS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DROPPED IN GEAR. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY.THE SPEEDOMETER SHUT DOWN AND THE WIPERS TURNED ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT FINALLY RESTARTED, IT WOULD NOT GET OFF THE PARK GEAR. FINALLY AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. IT DIED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WOULD NOT RESTART .I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. ITS BEEN THERE FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS. THEY SAID THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAVE CALLED THEY'RE TECHS AT THEY'RE CORPORATE HEAD QUARTER'S TO ASSIST THEM. ACCORDING TO MANY FORUMS ON LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE DEALER ADMITTED TO FINDING A MELTED PART. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR THAT THEY CLAIM MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER! MY VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY DROPPED IN SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IF THAT'S NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FIRE HAZARD WITH THE DASH OR THE FUSE BOX IS INSANE!! THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR AN ELECTRICAL FIRE TO BREAK OUT DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN. THE VEHICLE IS ELECTRONIC AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FEATURES THAT CHANGES THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANYONE DRIVE IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY DROP THE TRANSMISSION TO 1ST GEAR (HIGH RPM AND DRAMATICALLY DROPS SPEED) AND SEE HOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN YOU CAN CREATE A MAJOR ACCIDENT LIKE I ALMOST DID! THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY VEHICLE STARTING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORST OVER THE PAST WEEK AS THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE BANKING CORNERS OR JUST DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. IT STALLS ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES JUST TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B WHICH IS NORMALLY 2 MILES OR LESS. TWICE SOMEONE ALMOST REAR END ME BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT'S TIME FOR A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE ALL TOGETHER

Summary

I TOOK MY 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE DEALER FOR THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF RECALLS SO I ASKED THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. RECALLS WERE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND TO THE SUN VISOR (WHICH APPARENTLY CAN SHORT-CIRCUIT AND CAUSE A FIRE). THERE WAS A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE TIPM ALSO SO I GOT THAT DONE TOO. 3 WEEKS LATER, I GET ON MY CAR, I PUT THE IGNITION TO ON AND THE WIPERS WENT ON, I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND I COULDN'T. THIS IS A LIST OF ALL THE SYMPTOMS: - TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING - REAR WIPER NOT WORKING - FRONT WIPERS ON - TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND NO WAY TO TURN IT BACK ON - BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOT WORKING, NONE OF THEM, EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT CONTROL THE RADIO - HEATED STEERING WHEEL, TOW/HAUL, TRACTION CONTROL AND 110V PLUG SWITCHES NOT RESPONDING - INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT WORKING - HEADLIGHTS WORKED BUT NO WAY TO CONTROL HIGH OR LOW BEAMS I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, FOUND THAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME OF THEM SAID THAT THEY HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY LEAVING THE BATTERY UNPLUGGED OVERNIGHT, IT DIDNT WORK. I TOOK THE WIPERS OUT (SINCE I COULDN'T TURN THEM OFF) AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS). THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS ALREADY, YESTERDAY THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THEY WERE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINATE THE ISSUE BUT THAT IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE TIPM. I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST TO GET FIXED BUT THE TRUTH IS, I GOT THIS CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, LOOKED PERFECTLY FINE, VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND NOW I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET TO GET THIS THING RESOLVED. READING ON THE FORUMS I HAVE ALSO BECOME AWARE OF THE BIG SAFETY ISSUES THAT A FAULTY TIPM MAY CAUSE, READ OF PEOPLE'S CARS STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC! I AM REALLY CONCERNED NOW ABOUT MY SAFETY AND I WISH I DIDN'T BUY THIS CAR.

ON MAY 28, 2016 WHILE NAVIGATING MY DRIVEWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK WALL OF MY GARAGE. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY HOME AND MY CAR. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. HITTING THE BRAKE AND TRYING TO HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON DID NOTHING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, ABOUT TWO WEEKS EARLIER, I HAD PARKED THE CAR AT WALMART, PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. WHILE IN PARK AND THE ENGINE OFF, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND BUMPED THE SUV SITTING IN FRONT OF ME. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! I HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO MY LOCAL AUTO DEALERSHIP AND CHYSLER CORP. THE DAMAGE IS BEING REPAIRED AT MY COST.

Summary

THIS JEEP HAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER. I VERY RARELY DRIVE IT AS IT IS MY WIFES CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE TODAY IN A POURING RAIN. I PUSHED THE SHIFTER ALL THE WAY FORWARD INTO PARK, HIT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BUTTON, GRABBED THE KEY FOB, AND STEPPED OUT THE DOOR. TO MY HORROR I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING IN REVERSE. I HAD TO RUN SEVERAL STEPS AND DIVE INTO THE CAR AND PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN WITH MY LEFT HAND AND SHIFT IT INTO PARK WITH MY RIGHT HAND. THE PARKING LOT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE INCLUDING MANY CHILDREN. HAD I NOT GOTTEN LUCKY AND STOOPED THE VEHICLE, THEIR COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY. I KNOW FROM THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL BEING CONSIDERED ON THIS DEADLY SHIFTER. IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH. I BEG YOU TO PRESSURE CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY BY SOMEONE NOT USED TO IT. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH A RESPONSE. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE IN THE MAY 2016 ISSUE OF TRAILER LIFE MAGAZINE INVOLVING FORD F-150 AND THERE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUES. THE EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH MY JEEP. I WAS PULLING OUR CAMPER (UNLOADED), DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL OF MY JEEP WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT SAFELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE FUID LEVEL. THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR WAS LOW BUT NOT EMPTY. I MANAGED TO GET HOME, ABOUT 6 MILES AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK THE TO JEEP DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD DEVELOPED A VACUUM LEAK (THEY SAID) CAUSING COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER, DID A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB, REPLACED ALL ROTORS AND FLUSHED SYSTEM. $1350 LATER I WAS BACK ON THE ROAD. UNTIL I READ THIS ARTICLE I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

Summary

I CUT MY THUMB & SCRAPED A KNUCKLE ON SOME VERY SHARP TRIM AROUND THE TOP OF THE CUP HOLDER WHEN I REACHED INSIDE IT IN A PARKING LOT. THE BOTTOM OF THE TRIM HAD PULLED AWAY FROM THE SIDE AND WAS PROTRUDING AT AN ANGLE IN MORE THAN ONE SPOT INSIDE THE CUP HOLDERS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT LESS THAN ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THEY SAID THE ENTIRE PIECE WHICH INCLUDED THE CUP HOLDERS, TRAY, & GEAR SHIFT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR $500 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD PAID $2500 FOR DID NOT COVER IT. SO I NOT ONLY GOT INJURED, BUT I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL AND CANNOT EVEN WORK WITH MY SPECIAL NEEDS CLIENT UNTIL IT GETS REPLACED SINCE I CAN'T PUT HIM IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS JEEP ONLY HAD 28,232 MILES ON IT AND WAS IN GOOD SHAPE WHEN I BOUGHT IT ON 1/25/16, SO THIS NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. IF THE CUP HOLDERS COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED SEPARATELY, IT WOULD HAVE SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY AND TAKEN A LOT LESS TIME FOR THE MECHANICS TO REPLACE THEM. THIS WAS NOT THE KIND OF QUALITY I EXPECTED FOR A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

Summary

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 70MPH WITH FOOT ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL. TRAFFIC FROM AN ON-RAMP FORCED A QUICK/SUDDEN STOP (QUICK TRANSITION FROM THROTTLE PEDAL TO BRAKE PEDAL). THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN AND WOULD NOT DEPRESS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (VEHICLE WOULD NOT DECELERATE). FORCED DRIVER TO SWERVE OFF THE FREEWAY, AND NEARLY CRASHED. NON-EMERGENCY (QUICK THROTTLE TO BRAKE TRANSITION) BRAKING IS STILL FUNCTIONAL. THE SITUATION WAS ABLE TO BE RECREATED BY BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE SERVICE TECH AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THE ISSUE IS PRESENT ON FOUR OTHER VEHICLES (ONE 2011, ONE 2012, AND TWO 2013'S) ON THEIR SALES LOT, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS HAS NOTHING TO DUE WITH RECALL P05 (SIMILAR SCENARIO). DEALERSHIP SUBMITTED A CASE TO FCA. FCA HAD THEM REPLACE VACUUM LINES, ANOTHER BRAKE BOOSTER, AND THE VACUUM PUMP. THE ISSUE WAS STILL PRESENT. FCA TOLD THEM THEY COULD, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER, TRY TO SPLICE SOME VACUUM LINES AND SEE IF THE ISSUE GOES AWAY. AT THE ADVICE OF THE DEALERSHIP, CUSTOMER DENIED "TROUBLESHOOTING" ON THEIR VEHICLE. FCA TOLD DEALER THIS ISSUE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE P14 RECALL THAT WAS REPLACED A WEEK PRIOR (REPLACED TWICE) ON THE SAME VEHICLE (BRAKE BOOSTER), AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. DEALERSHIP IS NOW GIVING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE CUSTOMER WITH THIS CONDITION STILL PRESENT.

Summary

TRANSMISSION COOLER, A/C CONDENSER COMBO UNIT BEGAN LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AROUND 50,000 MILES. THERE IS NO DIP STICK TO KNOW HOW MUCH FLUID IS IN THE TRANSMISSION SO IT IS DANGEROUS. THE TRANS COULD BE LOW ON FLUID AND POSSIBLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND OTHER 2011-2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH THE SAME LEAK, ON THE SAME PART, AT THE SAME LOCATION ON THE PART, AROUND THE SAME MILES. CHRYSLER BELIEVES THIS IS NORMAL TO HAVE THE PART FAIL EVEN THOUGH IT IS FAILING BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION OR A/C EVEN REQUIRE SERVICING. I DISAGREE BECAUSE MY OTHER VEHICLE HAS 297,000 MILES AND HAS THE SAME CONDENSER FROM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I PAID TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION. CHRYSLER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND IF A RECALL HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE THEY WILL NOTIFY US. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS LEAK SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.

Summary

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO PRESSURE IN THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND PULLED OVER. AT FIRST, THINKING THIS WAS A SCARY, ISOLATED INCIDENCE, I DROVE ON THE THREE BLOCKS TO THE GROCERY STORE. AT THE GROCERY STORE, I STOPPED IN THE PARKING LOT TO LET ANOTHER VEHICLE PULL OUT AND A WOMAN CROSS FROM HER CAR TO THE STORE. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD FROM A DEAD STOP. I THREW IT IN NEUTRAL AND USED MY E-BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT I COULD HAVE RUN OVER A PEDESTRIAN. I WALKED FROM THE STORE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT UNTIL THEY SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT AND AM SERIOUSLY AFRAID THAT SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE FIRST TIME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING VERY SLOWLY FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. MY VEHICLE REMAINS IN THE SHOP AT THIS TIME BUT I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH WHATEVER THEY FIND.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 2011 - SERIOUS FRONT CRITICAL SUSPENSION CONNECTIVITY POINT CORROSION / BINDING (LATEST 12/2015) VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, EXTENSIVE CORROSION WITH KEY FRONT SUSPENSION CONNECTIVITY (LOWER CONTROL ARM MAIN BOLT/FRAME CONNECTION, BOTH SIDES). ISSUE SO BAD AN EVER-GROWING BINDING CREAKING NOISE BECAME AUDIBLE FROM THE CABIN. SOUND AUDIBLE WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING. SEVERAL DEALER EFFORTS TO BEGIN TO ADDRESS WITH SERVICE EFFORTS SPANNING NEARLY 1.5 YEARS. VERY CONCERNING AS THIS IS A CRITICAL SUSPENSION CONNECTIVITY POINT, IF IT FAILS THE FRONT END WOULD COLLAPSE. SERVICING DEALER VICTORY CHRYSLER ABLE TO DIAGNOSE SHARED HOW EXTENSIVE CORROSION IS BUT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS CORROSION AND BINDING OCCURRED. SUGGESTED WE SPEAK TO CHRYSLER, WHICH WE DID TO NO AVAIL (SEE OTHER ATTACHED). WE ASKED CHRYSLER TO INVESTIGATE, THEY DID NOT. WE SHARED VERY MUCH DETAIL JUST AS DONE HERE. WE ASKED FOR MONIES SPENT RETURNED AS THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THEY DID NOT RETURN MONIES. AT MINIMUM THIS IS A SERIOUS WATER CONTROL ISSUE, AND AT WORST A SERIOUS DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH COULD AFFECT THOUSANDS. NO FIX SHARED, VICTORY CHRYSLER NOTED TO US THE BEST THEY CAN DO IS PULL THE BOLTS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE AND CLEAN/LUBE IF POSSIBLE. NOTICE AT 1:40, IN THE VIDEO CLIP FOLLOWING, THE RECORDING ON THE COLDER DAY HOW LOUD IT IS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR SUCH SEVERE CORROSION HERE ASIDE FROM A DESIGN FLAW OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE.

ONCE OFF, THE POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE CAR UNTIL IT IS RESTARTED. MANY OF THE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY OFFRAMP WHILE DECELERATING. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY SO FAR THAT NONE OF THEM RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS YET. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS IT IS DANGEROUS.

THIS IS THE SIXTH TIME, TODAY, 9/13/15. I HAVEN'T BEEN KILLED YET, BUT IT'S A FUTURE POSSIBILITY. MY JEEP LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT STEER. IT HAPPENED WITH MY MOM AND MY ONLY CHILD IN THE JEEP. CHRYSLER TELLS ME EVERY TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, QUIRK JEEP IN MARSHFIELD, MA. I DO. THEY RUN THE EVER POPULAR 'DIAGNOSTICS' AND FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. YET, IT KEEPS HAPPENING! THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. STATE POLICE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO WAIT FOR AAA SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $120 TO BE TOWED OFF THE ROAD BY SOME NEANDERTHAL IN A TOW TRUCK. WHAT CAN I DO BEFORE I AM KILLED BY THIS VEHICLE? *THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN EARLY AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. I CONTACTED JEEP WITH THIS EMAIL AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR 'DIAGNOSTICS.' I DID AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM AGAIN! MY JEEP IS AGAIN LOSING SPEED AND POWER STEERING. IT IS RANDOM. I AM DRIVING ALONG AND IT LOSES ACCELERATION AND POWER STEERING. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY EXPECT IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AT MINIMAL SPEEDS. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM A TRAVELLING SALESPERSON AND MUST BE ON THE ROAD ALL DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK. I TRAVEL UP TO 200 MILES A DAY. AS I INDICATED BACK IN DECEMBER, THIS IS MY FIFTH JEEP. QUIRK SAYS ALL THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN DONE AND THEIR DIAGNOSTICS CAN FIND NO REASON FOR THE LOSS OF POWER. HOWEVER, IT IS HAPPENING AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ORIGINALLY, WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS PRE-OWNED JEEP, I WAS TOLD THE TIPM RECALL WOULD CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS. OBVIOUSLY, IT HAS NOT. *IN ADDITION, I HAVE RANDOM ISSUES WITH MY KEY NOT WORKING OR MY CAR REFUSING TO TURN ON. I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO HAS TO WORK. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AND JUNK THIS JEEP. I NEED THIS VEHICLE TO WORK AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK.

Summary

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN DECEMBER 2014. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES. IT HAS ALWAYS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 50 MPH. IT HAS STALLED ON THE FREEWAY 2 TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN SPARED A SERIOUS TRAFFIC COLLISION DUE TO LIGHT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE NEVER THROWS A CODE WHEN IT STALLS. THERE IS NOTHING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN DO FOR THESE "PHANTOM" OCCURRENCES. THE TIPM HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE STALLING CONTINUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS STALLING ISSUE AND THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHAT WILL IT TAKE BEFORE CHRYSLER ADDRESSES THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM? CURRENTLY, MY VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO PICKING UP MY VEHICLE SINCE THE PROBLEM IS ALWAYS LOOMING LIKE A BLACK CLOUD OVER MY HEAD.

Summary

AUGUST 29, 2015 I HAD A TUNE-UP PERFORMED ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE I WAS INFORMED THAT WHEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS REMOVING THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE A FIRE STARTED IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SHOWED ME THE INTERIOR DAMAGE AND IT WAS THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR. THE VISOR HAD APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER SIZE BURN MARK ON THE PLASTIC PIECE COVERING THE VANITY MIRROR AND A BURN ON THE HEAD LINER DIRECTLY ABOVE THE DAMAGE ON THE COVER. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE OTHER DEALER THAT HAD DONE THE P36/NHTSA 14V-391 RECALL IN OCTOBER 2014 AS THE DEALER THAT HAD DONE THE TUNE UP WOULD NOT FIX THE DAMAGE AND WOULD NOT HELP WITH ANYTHING. AFTER I INQUIRED ABOUT MY SAFETY DRIVING THE VEHICLE (AT THE DEALER'S SUGGESTION) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE TOWED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT HAD DONE THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER AND I CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR ASSISTANCE. A CASE WAS OPENED FOR ME. AUGUST 31, 2015 THE DEALER THAT HAD DONE THE RECALL REPAIR CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE CASE AND WERE INFORMED BY CHRYSLER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TO BE MOVED UNTIL AND INVESTIGATION COULD BE DONE. SEPTEMBER 1, 2015 I SENT AN EMAIL AND TIMELINE (TO DATE) TO THE GM/PRESIDENT OF THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE TUNE UP. SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 I CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING MY CASE AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS CLOSED. THE REPRESENTATIVE RE-OPENED THE CASE. SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 I CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING MY CASE AND WAS INFORMED IT HAD BEEN ASSIGNED AND I WOULD NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE ASSIGNED AGENT CONTACTED ME. SEPTEMBER 8, 2015 TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY CHRYSLER, THE GM/PRESIDENT OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS THE VEHICLE, I HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED ANY TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE NO IDEA THE STATUS OF MY VEHICLE.

THE OVERSIZED SIDEVIEW MIRRORS, ABSOLUTELY BLOCK THE VIEW OF APPROACHING OR STOPPED VEHICLES, AT AN INTERSECTION, CAUSING DRIVER AND PASSENGER TO HAVE TO MOVE HEADS TO SEE AROUND THEM , WHICH IN MOST CASES DOES NOT HELP TO VIEW THE APPROACHING OR STOPPED TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE UNDER 2 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD 3 NEAR COLLISIONS , FROM THE VERY LARGE MIRRORS, THAT ARE FACTORY INSTALLED ON THIS MODEL JEEP. THE MIRRORS ARE IN THE POSITION ON THE SIDE WINDOWS , THAT ABSOLUTELY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS , AND WE ARE AFRAID WE ARE GOING TO BE KILLED BY GETTING HIT FROM A VEHICLE THAT IS HIDING IN THE VIEW WE SHOULD HAVE OF THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC! WE WANT JEEP TO REPLACE OR MOVE THE MIRRORS TO A SAFER LOCATION FOR SAFETYS SAKE, BEFORE WE ARE KILLED. PLEASE CHECK THESE OUT YOURSELF. ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED MODEL 2011.

Summary

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN IN MY HOME WHICH HAS A CONNECTED GARAGE AND GONE OUT IN THE GARAGE TO FIND THE ENGINE RUNNING AND I KNOW FOR SURE IT WAS OFF WHEN PARKED. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH THE KEY FOB AND OTHER ITEMS IN MY POCKET IT'S POSSIBLE TO INADVERTENTLY CAUSE THE KEY FOB'S REMOTE START TO BE PUSHED IN THE SEQUENCE NEEDED TO REMOTELY START THE VEHICLE. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA. THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH IF THE DOOR TO THE GARAGE LEAKS AND THERE'S A BUILD UP OF CARBON MONOXIDE. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED BEEPS FROM THE CARS HORN LIKE YOU RECEIVE WHEN LOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB SO I KNOW IT WAS MOST LIKELY INADVERTENTLY STARTED. VERY UNSAFE.

Summary

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER REPLACEMENT OF ALL FOUR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS I APPLIED BRAKES WHILE TRAVELLING 30 MPH ON DRY ROAD AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT. MY CAR TOOK A MUCH LONGER TIME AND DISTANCE TO STOP THAN USUAL. I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED 10 TO 15 FEET BEHIND THE CAR BUT DID NOT STOP UNTIL ABOUT A FOOT FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HEARD A HISSING NOISE FROM THE AREA NEAR BRAKE PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. HE SAID THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL THING TO OCCUR AND SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT JEEP TO SEE IF IT WAS PART OF A RECALL. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM ( CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED ) AND WAS TOLD THAT RECALL # P14 WAS PERFORMED IN OCT. 2014 TO PLACE A SHIELD NEAR THE POWER BOOSTER TO PREVENT WATER INFILTRATION TO AVOID CORROSION. I WAS TOLD THAT A NEW POWER BOOSTER WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT SINCE A RECALL WAS INITIATED TO PREVENT CORROSION OF THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER BUT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR 3 YEARS PRIOR TO THE SHIELD BEING INSTALLED THAT THE CORROSION CAUSED BY WATER INFILTRATION HAD ALREADY BEGAN AND THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER ITSELF SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. SIMPLY PLACING A SHIELD AFTER THE CORROSION PROCESS STARTED DEFIES COMMON SENSE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WAS TESTED AT THE TIME THE SHIELD WAS INSTALLED, HOWEVER CORROSION (RUST ) IS AN ONGOING PROCESS. I THINK THE PROPER AND SAFE WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER AS PART OF THE RECALL IN ADDITION TO THE THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHIELD.

7/27/15 I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I WAS GOING TO TURN INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I WAITED UNTIL A VAN PASSED AND AGAIN, WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I GENTLY PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL WHEN WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. WITHIN SECONDS MY CAR REVVED ON ITS OWN AND TOOK OFF; SLAMMING ME INTO A CONCRETE WALL BARRIER THAT SAVED ME FROM DRIVING INTO A DRY CLEANING STORE WINDOW.DURING THIS ENTIRE TIME, MY FOOT BARELY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR TOOK OFF. THANKFULLY A MAN CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME TO JUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK AS I WAS HITTING THE BREAK AND MY WHEELS WERE STILL SPINNING. THE BARRIER WAS LITERALLY KEEPING ME FROM GOING THROUGH THE LARGE WINDOW. IT WASN'T UNTIL THEN THAT MY CAR STOPPED. ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT I WAS GOING 5 MPH. IF THIS WAS THE CASE, WHY DID I CRACK THE CONCRETE BARRIER, BURN RUBBER INTO THE ASPHALT SO MUCH THAT MY WHEELS MADE DEEP BLACK MARKS ON THE ROAD AND MY ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER ALL THE WAY TO THE RAILS WERE COMPLETELY CRUSHED. WOULD 5MPH CAUSE $7,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE? I DON'T THINK SO. IN ADDITION MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK UPON IMPACT. MY HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL BEFORE THE SEATBELT LOCKED RESULTING IN WHIPLASH. MY AIR BAG ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY. AT THE RATE I WAS GOING AND WITH THE FORCE OF IMPACT I HIT THE BARRIER WITH THERE WAS NO REASON FOR MY SEATBELT NOT TO INSTANTLY LOCK AND MY AIRBAG NOT DEPLOY TO PROTECT MY HEAD AND NECK. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING FIXED BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THAT CAR NOR SELLING IT TO ANYONE ELSE, LEST THIS HAPPEN. WHAT IF A FAMILY BUYS THIS CAR AND DIES DUE TO THIS? I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND I WANT SOMEONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ADMIT THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THESE CARS. THREE MAJOR RECALLS FOR THE 2011 AND ONE THAT I FEEL LEAD TO MY ACCIDENT. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION OCCURS.

Summary

JEEP WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE P54 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL ON 6/12/15. NEXT MORNING AFTER RETURNING FROM DEALER, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. THIS PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, AND THE ENGINE WOULD SOMETIMES START AFTER 15-30 MINUTES OF TRYING. EVENTUALLY ON 6/15/15 IT WOULDN'T START ALL MORNING SO WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM AND RELEASED CAR BACK TO ME DOING NOTHING. INTERMITTENT NO START CONTINUED FOR WEEKS, CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON 7/6/15 AND THEY REPLACED WIN MODULE, ANOTHER COMPONENT OF IGNITION SYSTEM. NEXT MORNING, 7/7/15, CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. INTERMITTENT CRANK/NO START CONDITION CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR WEEKS, CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON 7/22/15. THIS TIME DEALER SPENT ALMOST 3 WEEKS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. FIRST, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (THE RECALL PART ALREADY REPLACED ONCE) WAS DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY AND WAS REPLACED. THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND THE TIPM WAS SAID TO BE CAUSING THE CONDITION, AND WAS REPLACED ON 8/10/15. JEEP WORKED FOR A WEEK UNTIL TODAY, 8/15/15, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY LONG ISLAND ROAD CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING ~30 MPH. MY WIFE AND OUR 4 MONTH OLD BABY WERE IN THE CAR, AND I WAS SOMEWHAT TERRIFIED. THERE WAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDING US, AND I WAS LEFT WITH NO POWER TO THE BRAKES OR STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS ALREADY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER SLOWLY WITHOUT INCIDENT. IF THERE HAD BEEN A RED LIGHT OR SUDDEN BRAKING IN FRONT OF ME HOWEVER, THE SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. AFTER PULLING OVER, CAR CRANKED/NO START AS IT HAS PREVIOUSLY FOR THE PAST MONTHS, AND DID SO FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL FINALLY STARTED AND DROVE IT HOME. I HAVE HAD OUR JEEP IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, BUT WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM! I AM AT MY WITS END, AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

Summary

1. AFTER 2300 ORIGINAL MILES ON ODOMETER, VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION IN "COAST" MODE (FOOT OFF GAS, SLACK IN DRIVE TRAIN) BETWEEN ABOUT 45 TO 30 MPH. DEALERSHIP HAS KEPT IT OVERNITE, TEST DRIVEN IT, AND CONTACTED JEEP "ENGINEERS" ABOUT PROBLEM, NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS. DEALER CAN'T "DUPLICATE" PROBLEM, AND "ENGINEERS ARE LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION, WITH LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF REPORTS ON 2011 OVERLAND'S THROUGHOUT USA". 2. THE DEALER SERVICE REP ONCE SAID THAT A DEALERSHIP MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A LIMITED OR LAREDO MODEL. 3. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW AND ORDERED IT WITH CERTAIN OPTIONS I WANTED. I BOUGHT IT TO LAST ME THRU MY RETIREMENT YEARS, BEING A TOP RATED 4X4. IT NOW HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT, STILL HAS THE VIBRATION, AND AFTER SPORADICALLY CHECKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP DURING SERVICE OR RECALL WORK FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS(!!!!), A SOLUTION HAS NOT BEEN REACHED. 4. THERE'S ALWAYS A "WHAT IF" IN THE BACK OF MY MIND ON WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT I'M AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65-80 MPH HERE) AND THE DRIVETRAIN COMPONENT (TRANNY, TRANSFER CASE, REAR AXLE, DRIVE SHAFT) THAT'S CAUSING THIS VIBRATION SUDDENLY DISINTEGRATES. 5. OTHER NON-DEALERSHIP MECHANICS AGREE WITH ME ON THE ABOVE LISTED SUSPECT COMPONENTS BASED ON WHERE I FEEL THE VIBRATION (LITERALLY IN THE SEAT OF MY PANTS).

Summary

WHILE MOTORING ALONG, MY WIFE AND I NOTICED AN ACRID SMELL WHICH BECAME MORE AND MORE INTENSE UNTIL OUR EYES BEGAN TO BURN AND IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE ACRID SMELL WAS FROM OUR OWN VEHICLE, AND NOT FROM ANOTHER SOURCE SUCH AS SOME OTHER VEHICLE DRIVING AHEAD OF US. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY WE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER-SIDE SUN VISOR WHICH WAS IS THE UP POSITION. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND FLIPPED DOWN THE SUN VISOR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND THE VISOR BROKE OFF AS WE DID SO. SPARKS AND MOLTEN METAL BEGAN DRIPPING FROM WIRES WHICH PROTRUDED FROM THE HEADLINER. IT WAS CLEAR BY THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE THAT THE HEADLINER ITSELF WAS ON FIRE IN BETWEEN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND THE ROOF PANEL, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FLAMES BURNED THROUGH THE HEADLINER MATERIAL. BY PUREST CHANCE A POLICE VEHICLE DROVE BY AT THAT MOMENT; WE FLAGGED THE OFFICER DOWN AND HE PRODUCED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM HIS VEHICLE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE FLAMES WERE SPREADING SO QUICKLY THAT IT WAS CLEAR THAT, HAD THE OFFICER NOT HAPPENED BY AT THAT MOMENT, OUR VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND THEY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO INSURE THERE COULD BE NO FURTHER ELECTRICAL FIRE AND THAT IT WAS SAFE TO TOW AWAY THE VEHICLE. IN 2014 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM JEEP (REAL P36) WHICH CITED A POSSIBLE RISK OF FIRE DUE TO RESISTANCE IN THE WIRING OF THE VANITY LAMP.THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY OUR LOCAL DEALER IN DECEMBER, 2014.

I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2011, WITH 58K MILES, AND MY "SER 4 WD" AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON. WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THIS? THE TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

WHEN I ASKED WHY IS THIS HAPPENING THEY TOLD ME MAYBE THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY BE BAD. MY HEAD LIGHTS KEEPS GOING OUT EVER 3 MONTHS, WHEN I ASKED THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS, I MAY NEED TO CHANGED THE BULBS TO CHRYSLER BULBS. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND WHY EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE DEALER WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM, THEY CHARGE YOU A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $125.00?

Summary

A TRACTOR-TRAILER LABELLED WITH ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR SIGNAGE WITH ONE SIGN ON THE DOOR LABELLED B UNIT HOME DELIVERY PARKED ILLEGALLY AT LUCAS AND 13TH ST WAS BLOCKING BOTH GARAGE OPENINGS FOR MY BUILDING, THE BOGEN. THE DRIVER COULD EASILY HAVE PULLED UP BUT WAS OBVIOUSLY TOO LAZY. APPARENTLY THE DRIVER HAD REMAINED IN THE VEHICLE THE ENTIRE TIME BUT WAS TOO DISTRACTED TO NOTICE THAT HE WAS IN THE WAY. WHEN THE LUMPER CAME OUT WITH HIS DOLLY. INSTEAD OF INSTRUCTING THE DRIVER TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, HE CALMLY PUT AWAY HIS DOLLY AND TOLD ME TO GET BACK INTO MY CAR AS THEY WOULD BE LEAVING IN A MOMENT. WHEN I ASKED HIM THE NAME OF THE COMPANY, HE REFUSED TO ANSWER. I THEN NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD NO REAR TAG (LICENSE OR DOT NUMBER) AT ALL. AS I FOLLOWED THE TRUCK AROUND THE CORNER SO THAT I COULD FINALLY GET ONTO TUCKER, I SAW THE THE DRIVER IN HIS MIRROR, LAUGHING. I FIND NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR AND SUSPECT THAT THIS COMPANY HAS NO REAR IDENTIFICATION SO THAT THEY CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED IF THEY CAUSE DAMAGE OR DO OTHER RECKLEESS THINGS.

ON OR ABOUT APRIL 20, 2015 I HAD JUST DRIVEN MY JEEP ABOUT 20 MILES TO GET GROCERIES CAME HOME UNLOADED AND WENT BACK TO START JEEP TO GO PICK UP GRAND DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL AND THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD CRANK FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN STOP. TRIED TO START 5 OR 6 TIMES. TOOK MY TRUCK TO GET GRAND DAUGHTER. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT DEALER TO GET JEEP. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER JEEP STARTED THEN BUT THEY TOOK IT TO CHECK IT OUT. AFTER 5 DAYS THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW BATTERY. THEY WANTED $355.31 FOR NEW BATTERY. TOOK JEEP TO 2 PARTS STORES AND THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS STRONGER THAN WHAT WAS POSTED ON BATTERY. ON MAY 7, 2015 I WAS OUT AT STORE AND JEEP WOULD NOT START. TRIED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES AND THEN IT STARTED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON BRAKE BUT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. RESTARTED AND WAS FINE. CALLED DEALER AND TOOK BACK ON MAY 8, 2015. DEALER KEPT JEEP OVER NIGHT AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THROUGH MY SON IN LAWS SHOP COST ME $122.14. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $90.00 FOR THE TEST. SO I AM OUT OF $212.14 AS OF NOW. TODAY JUNE 13,2015 I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND IT WOULD NOT START. SAME AS BOTH TIMES BEFORE. I KNOW THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TIPM AND NO TEST WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. CALLED JEEP HOT LINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS AND NO REPORTS. TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM TEST IT AGAIN THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE MY JEEP WAS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. I ONLY HAVE 32989 MILES ON MY JEEP. IT ONLY HAD 32627 ON THE SECOND VISIT TO DEALER. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE JEEP BUT THEY CHARGE $50.00 IF THE TEST DON'T SHOW UP A PROBLEM. SO I AM BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF REPORTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 42,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I WENT TO A SHOP AND TRIED TO HAVE THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED. AND I WAS TOLD THE ALL THE FOUR AXLE SPINDLES ARE RUSTED SO BADLY. THE PROFESSIONAL IN THE SHOP HAD TO SPEND LOT MORE HOUR TO FIGURE OUT AN OTHER WAY TO REMOVE THE PARTS WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SPINDLES. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNSCREW THE AXLE NUT OUT FROM THE SPINDLES BECAUSE OF THE RUSTS. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED. AND IT WOULD PREVENT THE PROCESS OF FUTURE PARTS REMOVAL. I STRONGLY BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL OR A FREE REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, USING CRUISE CONTROL, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING AND THEN ALL CONTROL INCLUDING GAS. SEEMED TO STALL BUT THEN WOULD COME BACK ON AND OFF AS I WAS "COASTING" TO A STOP. TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY OVER TWO LANES SO I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF THE SHOULDER OUT OF DANGER WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED 110 MILES TO DEALER AND JEEP ONLY COVERED FIRST $100 SO I ENDED UP PAYING ANOTHER $450 IN TOWING COSTS. THE DEALER SAID MY "SERPENTINE BELT" HAD BEEN SHREDDED AND IT HAD WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH. TALKING WITH NUMEROUS OTHER GARAGES AND EVEN OTHER JEEP CERTIFIED MECHANICS, THEY ALL AGREE THESE BELTS SHOULD BE REPLACED AROUND THE 85,000 MILE MARK EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULDN'T SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR UNTIL THE 95,000 MILE MARK. THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE BELT IN MY CAR, WITH ONLY JUST UNDER 43,000 MILES ON IT, SHREDDED SO BADLY AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO NUMEROUS CARS AND THEN INTO A GUARDRAIL AND OFF THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. *TR

IT FAILS TO START A FEW TIMES EACH WEEK, EVENTUALLY STARTING AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO ERROR CODES). THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND APPARENTLY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY RELATED TO THE TIPM. I CONTINUE TO PAY DIAGNOSTIC CHARGES SINCE NO "CODES" ARE REGISTERING ANYWHERE. ($150.00) UNTIL THEY GET A "ERROR CODE", THEY CLAIM THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO START AND RUN WELL! *TR

Summary

FIRST INCIDENT WAS: ~11/24/2014 TOOK TO MOTHER LODE MOTORS, SONORA, CA SECOND INCIDENT WAS: 3-09-2015 TOOK TO MOTOR LODE MOTORS FOR RECALL P54/ NHTSA 14V-530 ( TIPM); TOOK TO CENTRAL VALLEY MOTORS IN MODESTO, CA MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. THE STARTING MOTOR CONTINUED TO TURN OVER EVEN WHEN I STOPPED PRESSING IT. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A JEEP DEALER WITHIN 70 MILES, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER (DODGE) WHO CLAIMED TO BE ABLE TO MECHANICALLY WORK ON JEEPS. THEY USED TO BE A JEEP DEALER. I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO RESET THE COMPUTER. ($300). NO PARTS REPLACED. FOUR MONTHS LATER (3/9/2015) , THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, ONLY IT WAS WORSE. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME GARAGE, AND LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. ($1507). I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A REAL JEEP DEALER TO GET A RECALL ITEM FIXED. (P54/NHTSA 14V-530, TIPM). WHEN I MENTIONED THE ABOVE INCIDENT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL ITEM WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ABOVE INCIDENT, AND WHAT THE DODGE DEALER DID WAS NOT NECESSARY. FIXING THE RECALL ITEM WOULD HAVE FIXED IT, AT NO COST. THE DEALER THAT DID THE "UNNECESSARY" WORK THAT COST ME $1807, WAS "MOTHER LODE MOTORS" IN SONORA, CA 95370. I WENT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD A SUPERVISOR ABOUT THE INCIDENT, AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME, DIDN'T SAY A WORD, DIDN'T EVEN ASK MY NAME OR APOLOGIZE. I CALLED THE OWNER OF MOTHER LODE MOTORS TO LET HIM KNOW OF MY COMPLAINT, AND HE BASICALLY ACCUSED ME OF MAKING EXCUSES AND SAID, ?HOW DID I KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?? AGAIN NO APOLOGY. *TR

Summary

I RECEIVED NOTICE BY MAIL IN DECEMBER THAT MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAD A RECALL (P36 SUN VISOR WIRING) AND THERE WAS A RISK OF FIRE DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO DADELAND DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN MIAMI, FL TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS BEING REPAIRED AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS CALLED TO GO PICK IT UP BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD BEEN DONE AND THE CAR WAS GOOD AS NEW. FAST FORWARD TO TUESDAY, APRIL 14TH AND I AM DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. MY CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND I COULD NOT BREATHE IN THE CAR. I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM SO I STARTED OPENING ALL THE WINDOWS AND NOTICED THERE WAS A FIRE BY THE SUN VISOR. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD DISABLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE SUNROOF TO LET THE SMOKE OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRULY FEARED FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE THE CAR HAD FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE SUN VISOR WAS COMPLETELY BURNED. THE FIRE COULD HAVE BURNED ME HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY AND UNABLE TO STOP. I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT I DID MY PART, TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RECALL FIXED, AND WAS RETURNED A CAR THAT WAS CLEARLY NOT FIXED. THIS FIRE COULD HAVE SEVERELY INJURED ME AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS MODEL CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS, INCLUDING ONE INVOLVING THE BREAKS, AND TO BE HONEST, I JUST DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I SIMPLY WANT BACK WHAT I PAID FOR THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECTED VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DIES ON ME WHEN I START TO DECELERATE WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN/SIGNAL LIGHT. WHEN IT DOES DIE THERE ARE NO DUMMY LIGHTS AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER VEHICLE WHENEVER IT DECIDES TO DIE. IN FACT WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED JUST 2 DAYS AGO AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE JEEP DIED TO WHICH THE CAR BEHIND US HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS US. AGAIN THIS SO DANGEROUS IN THE FACT THAT WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THIS JEEP IN NOT KNOWING WHEN WE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I LEFT MY CAR IN WITH DARCARS JEEP OF ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND ON APRIL 2ND FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE AND TO COMPLETE ANY RECALLS. DARCARS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE ONE OF THE RECALLS (RECALL NUMBER 14V154000) ON THE CAR BECAUSE CRISWELL JEEP OF GAITHERSBURG (A DEALERSHIP THAT I USED IN OCTOBER 2014) CLAIMED THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE WORK FOR THE RECALL AND HAD BEEN PAID BY JEEP, HOWEVER THE WORK WAS NEVER ACTUALLY DONE. JEEP IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THIS RECALL BECAUSE CRISWELL, ONE OF THEIR LICENSED DEALERSHIPS, IS NOT BEING HONEST. A DEALERSHIP LYING ABOUT PERFORMING RECALLS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY VIOLATION AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY BY YOUR AGENCY. HOW MANY OTHER RECALLS HAS CRISWELL BEEN PAID FOR BUT NOT ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE WORK? WHAT ARE THE CONTROLS IN YOUR AGENCY TO MITIGATE THIS RISK? *TR

IN ADDITION WHEN THE TEMPORARY FIX WAS DONE IN AUGUST THIS CAUSED THE AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SENSOR TO STOP WORKING - BILLY CRAFT STATES THIS IS A COINCIDENCE AND UNRELATED. DESPITE INDICATING THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN ITS ENTIRETY, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK BILLY CRAFT CHRYSLER JEEP DID NOT IN FACT COMPLETE THE RECALL DESPITE TELLING ME THEY DID AND INPUTTING INTO THE CORPORATE JEEP SYSTEM THAT THIS HAD BEEN COMPLETED AS OF 12/16/14. I AM NOW HAVING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AGAIN TO HAVE THE ACTUAL FIX COMPLETED. IF THERE ARE RECALLS MADE, THE SHOPS PERFORMING THE RECALL FIXES SHOULD MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEGRITY AND ACTUALLY COMPLETE THESE OR THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AGAINST THEIR BUSINESS. I AM NOW WORKING WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER AND WILL BE TRADING MY JEEP IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROADS IS NOT WORTH THIS. *TR

Summary

MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON A SUNNY MORNING WITH NO PRECIPITATION OR ICE INVOLVED WHILE DRIVING IN A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. HE WAS NOT SPEEDING OR FOUND RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ACCIDENT. A CHRYSLER AUTHORIZED BODY SHOP AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR BASED ON THE STEERING COLUMN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE AIRBAGS, AS WELL AS THE SEAT BELTS - WHICH WE FOUND STRANGE SINCE WE DROVE THE CAR FROM THE ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW THAT HE HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH OF THIS ACCIDENT - A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY FROM THIS SMALL COLLISION, STILL OUT TO WORK, HAVING TROUBLE FUNCTIONING, AND TRYING TO GET SOME ANSWERS AS TO HOW AN AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED AT A SPEED OF 30 MPH OR LESS CAN INJURE SOMEONE SO MUCH. FCA (WHICH IS NOW CHRYSLER) IS NOT GIVING US ANY STRAIGHT ANSWERS AS TO WHETHER THIS CASE IS INVOLVED WITH THE TANAKA AIRBAG RECALL SITUATION. BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS WE FEEL THAT FCA DOESN'T WANT TO PAY FOR/TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE INHERITED FROM CHRYSLER. THROUGH OUR DEALINGS WITH FCA WE ARE LEARNING THAT THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO. FCA HAS TOLD US A FEW DIFFERENT STORIES ABOUT THE ORC MODULE, AIRBAGS, AND SEAT BELTS, WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS THAT FCA IS A GROUP OF LIARS AND THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IMMEDIATELY AS FCA IS DIRECTLY PUTTING AMERICAN SAFETY AT RISK. WE WERE VERY LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMERS PRIOR TO THE FCA BUYOUT BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER'S PREVIOUS TRACK RECORD OF SAFETY AND THEIR RELIABILITY AS A COMPANY TO TAKE CARE OF IMPORTANT ISSUES LIKE THESE, FCA IS NOT FOLLOWING IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS AND I HOPE ALL WHO READ THIS THAT CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WILL. *TR

AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE 14V154 I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER IN BOISE IDAHO) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS INFORMATION WAS REPEATED IN SEPTEMBER. HAVING NOW RECEIVED 3 RECALLS I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE TO HAVE ALL 3 RESOLVED AT THE SAME TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN I TRIED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE, I'M TOLD THAT, WHILE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, THEY WILL NOT ORDER THE PARTS UNTIL I BRING MY VEHICLE IN FIRST. WHEN I ASKED WHY THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED THE VIN NUMBER. HOWEVER, THEY NOT ONLY HAVE MY VEHICLE INFORMATION ON RECORD AND I HAD THE VIN AVAILABLE DURING THE CALL. I ASKED TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE ORDER ON THE PHONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "POLICY" TO SCHEDULE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PRESENT AND ONLY THEN WILL THEY ORDER PARTS. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS EXCEEDED THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS AND IS CREATING AN UNREASONABLE BARRIER TO COMPLETING THE SERVICES. *TR

Summary

ON DECEMBER 26, 2014 I WAS REAR ENDED IN MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO MY ROAD. I WAS SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH OR LESS AS I WAS TURNING AND GOT HIT BY A LARGE PICK-UP TRUCK. FIRST OF ALL, I AM HAPPY THAT MY JEEP TOLERATED THE FORCE FROM THE REAR END COLLISION AS WELL AS IT DID, AND IT EVEN TOOK BOUNCING OFF A GUIDE RAIL PRETTY WELL TOO; HOWEVER, THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE HEADREST IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. SINCE I HAD NO FRONT OR SIDE IMPACT, NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG IN THE HEADREST MADE THE HEADREST SLAM MY HEAD FORWARD CAUSING WHIPLASH AND A NECK INJURY. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE; HOWEVER, IT CAUSED ME MORE INJURY. I WAS NEVER AWARE THAT MY CAR HAD THIS FEATURE. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I DECIDED TO LOOK IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE REGARDING THE HEADRESTS. IT ONLY MENTIONS THE FRONT AIRBAGS, CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND SEAT AIRBAGS. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTOR WASN'T EVEN FAMILIAR WITH THIS FEATURE WHEN HE CAME OUT TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE AIRBAG IN THE HEADREST AND THE INJURY THAT IT COULD CAUSE, I WOULD HAVE HAD THE HEADRESTS REMOVED FROM MY CAR AND REPLACED THEM WITH STANDARD HEADRESTS! SINCE THE ACCIDENT, I AM DEALING WITH HEADACHES AND AM GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR MY NECK INJURY. I SERIOUSLY HOPE NO ONE ELSE SUFFERS FROM THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" THAT I WASN'T EVEN MADE AWARE OF AS THE OWNER. *TR

THE DEALER IS CLAIMING THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT PROVIDING THE NECESSARY PARTS TO REMEDY THE RECALLS. I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY AT RISK DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE, OR STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS A RESULT OF THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. SO WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN JULY AND TOOK IT IN TO FERRARIO CAR SALES IN WYSOX PA. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD CALL US IN A MONTH OR TWO TO GET IT FIXED. IN EARLY OCTOBER, I PERSONALLY WENT TO FERRARIO AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON PARTS,INDEFINITELY. I ALSO ASKED THEM ABOUT THE SUN VISOR RECALL AND WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO SEE IT BUT IT WOULD BE THE SAME RESULT. NOW WE HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. BUT WHY HAVE THESE RECALLS IF THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT FIX YOUR VEHICLES. I HAVE RECEIVED THREE DIFFERENT RECALL NOTICES AND TWO ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.

Summary

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, MY ENGINED BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FINALLY MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP AND REQUIRED TOWING. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, ABNORMAL NOISES COULD BE HEARD FROM THE STARTER. THE DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR IT BY REPLACING THE CHRYSLER JEEP TAFN KIT AND CHARGED ME $1,361 FOR THE SERVICE. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED AND WORKING PROPERLY SINCE IT CONTINUED STALLING WHILE DRIVING PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT ACCELERATING, SHOWING THE ELECTRONIC STABILIZER LIGHT GOING ON ALONG WITH NO POWER, AND EMITTING SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TURNED ON. AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT IT "MIGHT BE CAM SENSOR" AND CHARGED ME AGAIN ($324) FOR A REPAIR SERVICE THAT HAD NO IMPACT EXCEPT TO MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE. SO THE CAR IS STILL NOT REPAIRED OR FUNCTIONING AND CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBE ABOVE. IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL (P54) NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM THAT DESCRIBED THE PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY CAR WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS; BUT YOU CAN SEE, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. IN ITS RECALL MESSAGE, CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT YOU IF MY DEALER HAS FAILED OR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. MY COMPLAINT IS TWO FOLD: THE DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND THE DEALER KEEPS CHARGING ME FOR EACH SERVICE REPAIR VISIT. *DT

Summary

VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO START. TRIES TO TURN OVER BUT WON'T. HAD HAPPENED VERY INTERMITTENTLY FOR PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. OVER PAST MONTH HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE CAR. USED TO ONLY DO IT ONCE AND THEN IT WOULD START ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT BUT IS NOW DOING THE "TRY BUT WON'T START" THING 6 AND 7 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT WILL FINALLY TURN OVER. NOW SMELLING RAW FUEL AFTER IT STARTS DUE TO IT TRYING SO MANY TIMES TO CRANK. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE SAME EXCUSE AS MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE..."WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET." I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES IF IT BEGINS STALLING IN TRAFFIC LIKE OTHERS ARE REPORTING, IT'S COMPLETELY TRASHING MY STARTER/BATTERY/ETC AS IT SITS THERE AND TRIES TO CRANK MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE IN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE HAD TONS OF RUN INS WITH THEM OVER WARRANTY WORK DUE TO MULTIPLE PROBLEMS MY JEEP HAS HAD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FOR MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN OCTOBER 2014. THE VEHICLE NOW STRUGGLES TO START ALMOST EVERY TIME IT IS PROMPTED TO. IT USUALLY TAKES TWO OR THREE ATTEMPTS TO SUCCESSFULLY START AFTER IT MAKES A SORT OF REV TYPE OF NOISE AND EVEN PRODUCES AN ODOR WHICH IS SMELT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PART TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE, AND WHEN IT DOES BECOME AVAILABLE, THERE ARE OVER 20 PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME ON THE WAITING LIST TO BE REPAIRED. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH MAKES ME FEARFUL FOR MY, AND OTHERS, SAFETY BEING THAT I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYDAY. *TR

Summary

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING/STALLING, AND SOUNDS LIKE THE WATER PUMP AND/OR ALTERNATOR IS FAILING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS ALL TIED TO P54/NHTSA 14V-530. THE TIPM PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE BACK IN OCTOBER 2014. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR WEEKS, POSSIBLY MONTHS. I CALLED JEEP/CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT IS THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE NO DATE THAT RECALL REPLACEMENT/CORRECTION PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I ASKED THEM WHAT I SHOULD DO SINCE I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WANT TO START (TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS), THAT STALLS OUT, AND THAT OTHER COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD ARE BEING AFFECTED. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY TOWING, OR RENTAL COSTS, AND HAD NO GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO DO BESIDES "GOOD LUCK". THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, I CAN BECOME STRANDED, THE CAR COULD STALL (POTENTIALLY WHILE DRIVING AND THIS CAR IS ALWAYS ON HIGHWAY HIGH SPEED DRIVING), AND I NOW HAVE OTHER PARTS UNDER THE HOOD THAT THIS ISSUE IS TAXING (ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, WATER PUMP, AND I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT ELSE). WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE? I CAN'T EVEN PAY TO GET THIS FIXED, THERE IS NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT RECALLED ENTIRELY AND TAKEN OFF THE ROAD, OR THAT IF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO RECOURSE. NO FREE TOWING, NO RENTAL CARS READY, NO ABILITY TO TRADE IN OR BUY A NEW VEHICLE. NOTHING. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT, GET A LAWYER? CONTACT BBB? PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS LEGAL, I'M BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS DANGEROUS.

Summary

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 2 MONTHS FOR PARTS FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE INITIAL HARD START FOR MONTHS. IT ALWAYS HAS EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER TIME AND NOW MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS STARTED TO STALL FROM THIS FAULTY RELAY ALSO. I WAS HEADING HOME ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAY MOVING BETWEEN 65-70MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AS I SLOWED TO AROUND 45MPH TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO MANAGE TO GET OFF SAFELY. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AND GET BACK HOME. TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT SPEED AND LOSE YOUR POWER STEERING AND ALL IS VERY DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER & THE DEALERS ALL SAY THEY HAVE NOT A CLUE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. THESE JEEPS ARE JUNK !! THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THEM ITS NOT FUNNY. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE MISSED SEVERAL DAYS OF WORK DUE TO THE JEEP NOT STARTING/STALLING ETC. I DON'T HAVE ENDLESS MONEY TO RENT CARS AND SPEND ON COSTLY REPAIRS. FURTHERMORE, THE RECALL FIX OF MOUNTING AN EXTERIOR FUEL PUMP RELAY TO THE TIPM AND BYPASSING THE FAULTY ONE BURIED DEEP INSIDE IS THE CHEAPEST WAY OUT FOR CHRYSLER. WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING IS INSTALLING ALL NEW TIPM`S FOR CUSTOMERS WITH WORKING RELAYS. I DIDN'T PAY $40K FOR A JEEP TO HAVE IT COBBED UP WITH CHEAP RECALL FIXES. *TR

ON JULY 19, 2014 MY VEHICLE CEASED TO START PROPERLY. IT WOULD TURN OVER AND OVER AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WOULD FINALLY START. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF STALLING AT A STOP SIGN OR EXITING THE FREEWAY THEN DIFFICULTY RESTARTING. THIS BECAME MORE AND MORE FREQUENT, AND EACH TIME MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE. SEPTEMBER 4TH IS THE LAST DAY THAT MY CAR STARTED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC WHO AFTER HAVING POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE, FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT CHRYSLER HAD ANNOUNCED A MASSIVE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. HE REFERRED ME TO THE CHRYSLER RECALL SPECIALIST PHONE NUMBER, WHICH I CALLED IMMEDIATELY. MY FIRST FOUR PHONE CALLS WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A RUN AROUND GAME UNTIL I FOUND THE INFORMATION ON NHTSA WEBSITE. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION, REPAIRS WERE SET TO BEGIN 10/25/14. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, THE NOTICES WERE SET TO GO OUT BY MAIL ON 10/31/14 THE GENTLEMAN ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD ALSO RECEIVE AN EMAIL RECALL NOTIFICATION TO PROVIDE THE REPAIRING DEALER ON 10/31/14. I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT RANCHO JEEP FOR RECALL P54 REPAIR AT 10AM NOVEMBER 1. 10/31/14, 3PM, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION. I CALL CHRYSLER AGAIN AND AM NOW TOLD THAT I HAD BEEN MISINFORMED, IT IS A PRELIMINARY NOTICE, NO REPAIRS CAN BE DONE. MY JEEP IS STILL NONOPERATIONAL, SINCE SEPTEMBER 5, 2014. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART WITH...I HAVE HAD A RENTAL CAR FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL ISSUE, COSTING NEARLY $800 EACH MONTH. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCOMMODATE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE RENTAL EXPENSE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY. MY VEHICLE WOULD BE OPERATIONAL IF NOT FOR THIS FACTORY RECALL P54, AND I WOULD NOT HAVE INCURRED $2400 RENTAL CAR EXPENSE TO DATE. *TR

Summary

I HAD AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION OCCUR ON NOVEMBER 15, 2014 WITH OUR 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE. AROUND 7 P.M., I WAS MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE 95 SOUTH FROM 332, THE NEWTOWN, PA EXIT. I DID A HARD ACCELERATION TO AVOID TRAFFIC BRINGING UP THE REAR. THE ENGINE THEN ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY ... SO FAST THAT THE TACHOMETER WAS PINNED TO THE RIGHT SIDE ... INTO THE RED ZONE NEAR 7K. A LATER CHECK OF THE VEHICLE MAXIMUM SPEED ON THE GARMIN GPS REVEALED IT PEAKED AT 97 M.P.H. WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE WAS PINNED TO MAXIMUM REVS. I HONESTLY THOUGHT IT WOULD DISINTEGRATE. IN THE SPAN OF A FEW SECONDS, I KNEW NOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AS I WOULD HAVE LOST STEERING. I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, TO AT LEAST STOP THE SPEEDING. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV OUT OF CONTROL. I BELIEVE I WAS KICKING THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY RELEASED ITS GRIP ON SPEED AND RETURNED TO NEAR-IDLE, UPON WHICH I RE-ENGAGED TO DRIVE. IF A CAR WERE ANYWHERE AHEAD OR NEAR ME, A DEVASTATING WRECK WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RESULT. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE REEDMAN-TOLL SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN LANGHORNE, PA. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING THAT WOULD CONFIRM THE INCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. AN AGENT NAMED [XXX] TOOK MY REPORT AND SAID HE HAD NO SIMILAR REPORTS. I FIND IT DISTRESSING THAT NOTHING IN THE JEEP 'BLACK BOX' RECORDING SYSTEM WOULD HAVE A RECORD OF THIS POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT. THE REEDMAN SERVICE ADVISOR SPECULATED THAT I MAY HAVE 'RESET' THE SOFTWARE IF AND WHEN I WAS KICKING THE ACCELERATOR WHILE THE EVENT WAS UNDER WAY.

Summary

THIS PAST JULY, ON AN EXTREMELY HOT AFTERNOON, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE LEATHER COVERING ON THE DASHBOARD FROM WINDOW TO GLOVE BOX WAS LIFTING AND WRINKLING BEFORE MY EYES. UNDER THIS AREA OF THE DASH ARE AIRBAGS. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND RELAYED THIS INFORMATION TO A MECHANIC FRIEND, HE FELT THAT I'D BE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING SAFELY UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION, BUT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CALL MY JEEP DEALERSHIP ONCE I ARRIVED. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S A COSMETIC DEFECT AND THE DASH JUST WASN'T GLUED PROPERLY WHEN MANUFACTURED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL REPAIR IT AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE OF $500 BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE WARRANTY. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT MY IN-DASH AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME AND DON'T FEEL THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MOST RECENT RECALLS BUT CAN'T GET ANYONE AT CHRYSLER TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. IS THERE ANY INFORMATION SUPPORTING MY CONCERN? *TR

Summary

WHEN THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLE IS EXITING THE FREEWAY OR WHEN COASTING WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE STALLS. ENGINE POWER IS LOST, POWER STEERING IS LOST, AND POWER BRAKING IS LOST LEADING TO A SIGNIFICANT INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO RESTART UNTIL IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROADWAY AND IS PUT INTO PARK. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS BEFORE CHRYSLER EVEN ISSUED A RECALL. CHRYSLER HAS NOW NOTIFIED ME BY MAIL OF A RECALL FOR THE FUEL RELAY WHICH COULD CAUSE A STALL AND CRASH AND HAS RECOMMENDED I TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT NO PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. THE JEEP DEALER HAS NO EVIDENCE SHOWING THEM THAT THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE FUEL RELAY EVEN WITH THE RECALL IN EFFECT. THE DEALER HAS ADVISED ME TO PICK UP THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALLED PART. THIS MEANS THEY HAVE ADVISED ME TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. THIS IS AS OF NOVEMBER 18TH, 2014. CHRYSLER'S RECALL DEPARTMENT HAS ADVISED BY PHONE I DRIVE THE CAR TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF ANOTHER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS RECOMMENDATION PUTS MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE HAS BEEN NO TEMPORARY REPAIR SUGGESTED OR A DATE WHEN A PERMANENT FUEL RELAY REPLACEMENT PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. NO ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED OR OFFERED. I AM WITHOUT A MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WHILE MY VEHICLES IS NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO SAFETY REASONS. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE IS NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE RPMS HITTING 0. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE CHANGING LANES, LUCKILY TOWARD THE BERM. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ROLL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE CROWDED FREEWAY, TO A STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME MAKING SURE I KEPT AN EYE ON MY RPMS TO DETERMINE IF THE CAR HAD STALLED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, BUT I WAS READY THAT TIME AND IN A POSITION TO GET OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, AND I DID HAVE IT FIXED AT MY OWN COST BEFORE THE RECALL CAME OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS FIXED WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PART SINCE THE FIXED ONE HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED YET. I BOUGHT JEEP FOR ITS RELIABILITY, SAFETY, AND DEPENDABILITY, BUT I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT THIS TIME. I ALSO TOW A TRAILER, THAT LUCKILY HAS NOT BEEN CONNECTED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OR THIS WOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMPLAINT WITH A MUCH WORSE ENDING. SINCE THERE IS NO ETA ON THE RECALL PART, I AM NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO. I AM ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BUYING ANOTHER CAR RATHER THAN PICKING UP A RENTAL FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT THIS IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS ISSUE THAN WE ARE BEING LED TO BELIEVE. *TR

IN JUNE 2012 I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE GIVING A HARD START AND STALLING. I REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND CARRIED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES.

Summary

I'D LIKE TO REGISTER A FORMAL COMPLAINT "FOR THE RECORD". REGARDING CHRYSLER GROUP'S RECALL #S P14, P36 AND P54 FOR THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4 ... PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE (SINCE MAY 2014 FOR THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER!) THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. INDIVIDUALLY, THE HARBINGER OF THESE THREE (3) RECALLS COULD RESULT IN; (A) POWER-ASSISTED BRAKING FAILURE, (B) A VEHICLE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL FIRE AND, (C) INTERMITTENT / UNEXPECTED ENGINE SHUTDOWN. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER TODAY @ 1-800-853-1403 AND SPOKE WITH "[XXX]" ... RECEIVED A PRETTY LAME "BS" EXPLANATION ABOUT PARTS AVAILABILITY ON ALL THREE (3) RECALLS AND THE METHOD IN WHICH THEY ARE ALLOCATED TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS. SHE COULD NOT COMMIT AS TO WHEN, IF EVER, MY DEALERSHIP WOULD RECEIVE THE REQUIRED PARTS TO REMEDY THE OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS A SMALLER, RURAL "MOM & POP" STORE, SO THE QUESTION THAT BEGS TO BE ASKED IS WILL I EVER SEE THESE PARTS INSTALLED BEFORE THERE'S A RECALL-RELATED INCIDENT WITH MY WIFE'S VEHICLE? THE RECALL "SYSTEM" IS APPARENTLY BROKEN, AS CHRYSLER GROUP IS NOT DILIGENTLY FULFILLING THEIR SAFETY OBLIGATIONS AND NOBODY FROM NHTSA IS APPARENTLY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT ENFORCING IT, QUITE DISCONCERTING AND UNACCEPTABLE! AS OF TODAY'S REGISTERED COMPLAINT(S), KINDLY CONSIDER NHTSA AND CHRYSLER GROUP AS OFFICIALLY PUT ON NOTICE OF MY COMPLAINT AND OF MY DIRE CONCERN FOR THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. NOTE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AS THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY PARTS ON MY BEHALF FROM CHRYSLER GROUP. PLEASE FOLLOW-UP CHRYSLER GROUP WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY AND REPORT YOUR FINDINGS TO ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

THE FIRST TIME MY JEEP STALLED I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO A HIGHWAY BARRIER. I WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES, TURNED MY CAR BACK ON, AND KEPT DRIVING. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED, ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER, I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON AT THIS POINT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 2 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE TIPM AND WOULD BE $1,200 TO FIX. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS PART, I NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINS OF THIS SAME ISSUE FOR A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THIS IS CLEARLY A FAULTY PART AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF MY VEHICLE HAD STALLED IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR

Summary

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. IT SOMETIMES TAKES 3-10 TIMES TO START. IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T START AT ALL, LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH AN INFANT IN TOW. I HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED OF A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO THE PROBLEM BUT THEN LEARNED OF AN UPCOMING RECALL FOR THE TIPM. I DECIDED TO WAIT ON REPAIRING THE ISSUE, UNSURE AS TO WHETHER THE FIX PRESCRIBED BY THE DEALER WOULD BE REIMBURSED ONCE THE RECALL WAS RELEASED. I JUST GOT AN 'INITIAL' RECALL NOTICE WHICH STATED THAT THERE STILL WAS NO REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SAID TO BE THE CAUSE OF POTENTIAL CRASHES AND STALLS MID-DRIVE. AS I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I AM EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS AND NERVOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE RISK I AM TAKING BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT A REPAIR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY IT WOULD PROVIDE MY FAMILY IN TRANSPORTATION. NOW I AM ACUTELY AWARE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED AND THE NEED FOR A FIX IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I INFORMED THEM THAT I HAD READ ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TIPM, BUT THEY DISREGARDED MY CONCERN AND TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT READING THE KEYS AND I NEEDED TO ORDER NEW ONES, WHICH I DID. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEMS OF NOT STARTING. HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING IF I COULD NOT RECREATE IT, SO I KEPT DRIVING IT KNOWING THAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT START. YESTERDAY, 10/28 THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING AS THE PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING. TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS INDEED THE TIPM THAT WAS FAULTY AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, AS IT WILL NOT START. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT A CAR THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD CAN HAVE SO MANY ISSUES PLAGUING IT. IT IS A MONEY PIT. THERE IS A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE (NEEDS CYLINDER HEAD), A TORQUE CONVERTER CODE, AND A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY ON THE 'TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE'. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, AND THE CONSUMER IN GENERAL, IS COMPROMISED - WHEN A $30,000 VEHICLE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. WHEN WORKING, THE JEEP DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING, HAS LOW POWER AND IDLES VERY IRREGULARLY.

WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE FOR WORK IT STARTED FINE AND WENT AROUND THE CORNER TO CONVENIENCE STORE AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN TO LEAVE IT WOULDN'T START. THE ENGINE TURNED OVER, BUT WOULDN'T START. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THE SAME THING HAPPENED THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT STARTED FINE IN THE MORNING, DROVE TO WORK AND THEN IT NEVER WOULDN'T START AGAIN. DURING THE DAY I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE IT DID START BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN (MOTOR REVVED UP) SO I JUST TURNED IT OFF. HAD TO LEAVE IT AT WORK OVERNIGHT, THE FOLLOWING MORNING WENT TO TRY AND GET IT HOME AND IT STARTED AGAIN JUST FINE. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT HAS 100% CHARGE AND ALL THE ELECTRONICS WORK IE. WINDOWS, LOCKS, RADIO, LIGHTS ETC. *TR

Summary

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

REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 01, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 COMPONENT(S): SERVICE BRAKES , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC JEEP HAS NOT DERIVED THE CORRECT TEST TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. MY BRAKES FAILED LAST WINTER DUE TO THIS VERY ISSUE. JEEP WOULD NOT CORRECT THE BRAKE ISSUE UNTIL THEY DID A FORMAL RECALL AND LETTERS WERE SENT. I NOW HAVE MY LETTER AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS IT APPARENTLY PASSES THE TEST JEEP ESTABLISHED. THEY ONLY PUT UP THE BOOSTER SHIELD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WATER ALREADY DID GET INTO MY BRAKE BOOSTER AND MY BRAKES FROZE. I NEARLY HAD THREE ACCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WINTER 2013/2014. I EXPECT I WILL HAVE MORE CLOSE CALLS IF NOT A FULL ON ACCIDENT THIS YEAR WHEN MY BRAKES AGAIN FREEZE UP AND STOP WORKING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND JEEP NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL THESE BOOSTERS. JEEP ARE NOT ONLY SENDING ME BACK OUT ON THE ROAD WITH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE, BUT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO ALLEGEDLY PASSED THE TEST, YET WILL FREEZE AGAIN THIS WINTER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE NEED TO BECOME A STATISTIC BEFORE JEEP PROPERLY CORRECTS THE ISSUE. *TR

AFTER READING MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I SEE THAT MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO ALSO BE SUFFERING FROM A FAULTY TIPM.

THERE IS NO CONSISTENT TIME, SPEED OR TEMPERATURE RELATED TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP, RADIO, A/C, TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND SEAT BELT ALERT SOUNDS. ONLY ONCE HAS VEHICLE LOST POWER BRIEFLY. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2012 THE DEALER COLD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY BUT BEFORE I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR THE TIPM I WANT TO VERIFY THAT IT IS A RECALL ITEM. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT BEGAN RECENTLY IS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE IF OPENED FROM THE INSIDE UNLESS WE PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST AROUND $600. *TR

ADVISED BY DEALER TO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL PROBLEM IS FIXED AS THE TRUCK CAN STALL OR TURN OFF AT ANY TIME RESULTING IN A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!! *TR

Summary

IN JUNE 2012 MY VEHICLE BEGAN GIVING PROBLEMS STARTING AFTER SEVERAL DAYS BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE NEEDS A PCM. THE PCM WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I WAS THEN TOLD THE TIPM HAD AN ISSUE. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE WORKING AS FAR AS THE ISSUES STARTING BUT I KEPT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. MONTHS AND MOTHS WENT BY WITH ME HAVING THIS ISSUE UNTIL THEY PLACED A DEVICE ON MY VEHICLE TO RECORD WHAT'S HAPPENING. AFTER KEEPING MY VEHICLE FOR A WHOLE DAY TO REMOVE THE DEVICE, A WEEK LATER THEY SAID IT DID NOT RECORD ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WENT DEAD. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR THEM TO CHECK SPARK PLUGS, TRANSMISSION, AND OTHER THINGS I DID SO AND THE PROBLEM WENT A WAY FOR COUPLE MONTHS ONLY TO COME RIGHT BACK. RIGHT NOW I AM RIGHT BACK AT SQUARE ONE WITH THE VEHICLE GIVING A HARD START AND THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. THEY NEED TO BE OVERHAULED. *TR

WHEN YOU PUSH THE START BUTTON IT DOESN'T START BUT IF YOU PUSH IT 3 TO 4 TIMES AFTER HESITATION IT STARTS AS LONG AS YOU PULL YOUR FOOT AWAY FROM THE BRAKES BUT A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE HEARS THE FUEL PUMP COMING ON AND STAYING ON EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ISN'T RUNNING. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON MONDAY THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER AND ACCORDING TO THEM AND THE LOCAL DEALER I HAD TO PAY TO REPAIRS AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIPD PROBLEM OR A FUEL PUMP OR THIS OR THAT BUT I HAD TO BRING IT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AND THEY WILL GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. I HAVE A GOVERNMENT VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND BACK AND I HAD TO DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE TO GET TO PLACES AND USE THE JEEP WHEN I HAVE TO YET IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED UNTIL I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT AFTER ALL THE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AND SOUNDED LIKE A DEFECT. THANKFULLY I HEARD ON THE NATIONAL NEWS YESTERDAY THAT THEY ARE RECALLING THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THAT SAME PROBLEM AND AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE IT WAS LIKE SEEING A CARBON COPY OF MY COMPLAINT. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND MY CHILDREN WHEN THE JEEP STALLED ON CAMP KANATA RD. IN WAKE FOREST, NC WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. IT FRIGHTENED ME MAINLY FOR MY CHILD. SHE WAS WORRIED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE HIT FROM THE REAR WHEN THE JEEP STOPPED SUDDENLY ONLY 100 FT. FROM LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY OF CAMP KANATA. WE THOUGHT WE HAD A FLAT TIRE OR THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AGAIN BUT AGAIN THANKFULLY WE WEREN'T HIT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET AND BEGINNING TO SLOW FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER WHATSOEVER; HAD TO COAST AS FAR AS I COULD TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD; THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTED IT. A FEW WEEKS PRIOR, I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE ONTARIO, CA JEEP CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPAIRED AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. THE SERVICE REP STATED THAT THEY HAD INSTALLED A CIRCUIT BOARD OVERLAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A SUPPOSED FIX FOR TIPM ISSUES, BUT IT DID NOT STOP MY CAR FROM TURNING OFF AFTER THE REPAIR HAD BEEN DONE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WITH THE COMPLAINT THAT THE ALARM - HORN - HAD BEEN GOING OFF RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON. AT THAT TIME, THE SERVICE REP SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND COULD DO NOTHING. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THIS IS ANOTHER SYMPTOM OF TIPM FAILURE. *TR

Summary

EARLIER THIS YEAR I STARTED EXPERIENCING STARTING DIFFICULTIES WITH MY JEEP. WHILE PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE IGNITION WOULD RUN BUT NOT TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START. HOWEVER, OVER THE SUMMER THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE AND ON OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD STALL OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 8/23/2014 AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID I HAD A BAD FUEL PUMP AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A PRICE OF $1,300. WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN THE SHOP, I STARTED DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH OF MY PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM THAT A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING - A BAD TIPM. ON 8/26/2014 I WENT IN TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY REPLACED THE TIPM AND NOT THE FUEL PUMP. I PRESENTED MY RESEARCH WITH THE SERVICE TECH AND SAID SINCE THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD EITHER BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. HE SAID THAT HE HAD NO AUTHORITY TO DO THIS AND I WAS FORCED TO PAY $1,233.42 TO RETRIEVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE NOW BEEN MADE AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEREIN THE REMEDY WILL BE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH ONE EXTERNAL TO THE TIPM AT NO CHARGE. SINCE MY PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED PRIOR TO THIS RECALL I AM EXPECTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF THE $1,233.42 THAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID. *TR

ON FRIDAY, 9/19/14, MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ALMOST KILLED ME. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN VA AND NY VIA I-81 FOR A FAMILY FUNERAL. I STOPPED HALF-WAY THERE FOR LUNCH AND THEN EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM STARTING IT. HITTING THE START BUTTON, IT WOULD NOT START, AND WOULD NOT STOP TRYING TO DO SO - IT KEPT CRANKING AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I OPENED THE DOOR. IT DID THIS 3-4X, AND THEN IT STARTED. IT HAD NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. I CONTINUED ON, MORE CAUTIOUSLY. AN HOUR LATER, WHILE PASSING SEVERAL BIG RIGS, PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. I LOST POWER STEERING, ACCELERATOR FUNCTION, AND MY DASH LIT UP - AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED RUNNING AND EVEN REV'ED DESPITE THE LACK OF THE ACCELERATOR. MY BRAKES ALSO DIDN'T WORK FOR APPROX. 10 SECONDS. THE ROAD CURVED, AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND FLIPPED THE JEEP TRYING TO AVOID THE BIG RIGS, WHICH WERE SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES ALL AROUND. ULTIMATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER 15 MINUTES, IT RE-STARTED, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. UPON ARRIVAL, HOWEVER, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THINGS WHILE TESTING IT AT VERY LOW SPEEDS ON BACK ROADS. AFTER THE FUNERAL ON SATURDAY, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT STILL IS UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTICS. I HAD TO TRAVEL BACK TO VA ON SUNDAY, AND NOW HAVE TO RENT A CAR, DEAL WITH LONG-DISTANCE REPAIRS WITH AN UNKNOWN DEALERSHIP, AND TRAVEL BACK TO NY TO GET IT ONCE REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIPM ISSUE, WHICH I HAVE LEARNED JEEP/CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT, BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES (FLASHLIGHT NEVER WORKED, MULTIPLE BACK BULBS, ETC), WHICH THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED MAY INDICATE TIPM ISSUES SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE ALWAYS DEALT WITH AS ISOLATED REPAIRS.

AFTER LETTING THE JEEP SIT, IT STARTED UP AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND WE WENT DIRECTLY TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY PLUGGED IN A CODE-READER, FOUND NO CODES, AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE US WITH A REPAIR WORK ORDER SO WE HAVE NO PAPER WORK. THEY KNOW WHAT'S WRONG BUT ARE AVOIDING THE ISSUE. IT'S THE TIPM! THIS ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE FUEL PUMP ISN'T RUNNING WHEN IN THE FAILURE MODE. SOMETIMES THE HORN BLOWS BY ITSELF! WE'VE HAD THE WIPERS NOT FUNCTION AND THE WINDOW NOT ROLL UP. THE VEHICLE IS HAUNTED. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL NHTSA? *TR

Summary

VEHICLE BEGAN PRESENTING WITH GRINDING NOISE UPON START UP (SIMILAR NOISE TO TURNING THE KEY IN OLDER VEHICLE ONCE ENGINE WAS RUNNING). BROUGHT TO DEALER'S ATTENTION AT TIME OF SERVICE - DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE GRINDING NOISE. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, VEHICLE BEGAN TAKING MORE THAN 1 ATTEMPT TO TURN ENGINE OVER (SOMETIMES UP TO 4-5 ATTEMPTS), INCLUDING PROLONGED ENGAGEMENT OF STARTER MOTOR. IF MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, NOTICED RICH FUEL SMELL. MENTIONED TO DEALER AT TIME OF NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE - DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE STARTING PROBLEMS OVER THE COURSE OF 2 DAYS IN THEIR CARE. DEALER SAID TO WAIT FOR MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCES TO BEGIN THEN THEY WOULD CHECK AGAIN. STARTING ISSUES WERE INTERMITTENT AND CONTINUED TO OCCUR UNTIL LAST WEEK, WHERE AFTER "HARD START," VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN REVERSE PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT (<5 MPH); HOWEVER, POWER TO LIGHTS AND RADIO REMAINED ON; STEERING LOCKED UP, AND HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE TO SAFE SPOT. TOOK 2 STARTS TO GET ENGINE RUNNING AGAIN. NEXT DAY, AFTER 4 FAILED STARTING ATTEMPTS (5TH SUCCESSFUL), HAD BATTERY TESTED AND REPLACED DAY AFTER THINKING IT COULD BE PART OF PROBLEM (STARTER AND ALTERNATOR TESTED FINE). THE DAY AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT, VEHICLE PRODUCED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE ABNORMAL START, THEN ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION UNDER 5 MILES PER HOUR. BASED ON EVIDENCE AND PRIOR REPORTS, FAULTY TIPM IS SUSPECT. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT BOTH STALLS OCCURRED UNDER 5 MPH; IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HOPING THE NHTSA WILL FORCE CHRYSLER'S HAND INTO OPENING FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, OR TIPM. THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS I'M INCURRING WITH STARTING MY VEHICLE AND IT'S STALLING. WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I LEARNED THAT THE TIPM CAN "PREVENT THE FUEL PUMP FROM SHUTTING OFF PROPERLY, CAUSE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS TO SHUT OFF, AND CAN CAUSE RANDOM AND UNCONTROLLABLE ACTIVITY OF THE HORN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, ALARM SYSTEM, DOOR LOCKS, AND AIRBAGS." *TR

DEALER MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT A POSSIBLE TIPM PROBLEM. VEHICLE RAN FINE FOR A WHILE, BUT THE SAME THING OCCURRED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. SINCE THE SECOND INCIDENT, NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL YESTERDAY (SEPTEMBER 6, 2014) WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AS THE STARTER MOTOR REMAINED ENGAGED AND CONTINUED TO CRANK. THE STARTER MOTOR DISENGAGED AND STOPPED CRANKING WHEN THE START/STOP BUTTON WAS PUSHED, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED 5 SUCCESSIVE TIMES WHEN ADDITIONAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO START THE ENGINE. FINALLY, THE VEHICLE STARTED. I GOOGLED THE SYMPTOMS AND LEARNED ABOUT THE ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM INVOLVING THE 2011 JEEPS. I'VE RECENTLY RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER FOR "P36 / NHTSA 14V-391 AND 154" (LAMP WIRING AND BRAKES), BUT NOTHING REGARDING THE TIPM PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN MY JEEP. *TR

Summary

MY JEEP WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING FOR 3 WEEKS NOW BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T LOOK AT IT UNTIL 9/9/14 ON TUESDAY 9/2/14 IT STALLED WHILE DOING 55 MPH ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AFTER ABOUT A DOZEN TRIES. I CALLED THE DEALER AND TRIED TO GET IN EARLIER BECAUSE ON MY CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY. THEY TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY I STILL HAD THE APPOINTMENT THAT I HAD BECAUSE THEY ARE OVERBOOKED. IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL ON FRIDAY 9/5/14 I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER THAT DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY TIPM. AND IT WOULD COST ME 1098 TO FIX BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. AFTER LOOKING UP THE PROBLEM I SEE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AT SPEED. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE! *TR

Summary

CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL NUMBER14V-154. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OFF AT SEVERAL DEALER SHIPS IN THE GREATER DETROIT AREA W/O SUCCESS DUE TO MISSING PARTS. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY JEEP WENT SUDDENLY OUT AND I BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I ESTIMATE THAT THE LOSS OF BRAKE POWER IS AROUND 80-90%. MANY TIMES I AM TOWING A BOAT AND IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE WHEN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT I COULD NOT HAVE AVOIDED CRASHING INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. THE RE-CALL NOTICE IS TAKING THE ISSUE WAY TO LIGHTLY. " THE DRIVER MAY BE REQUIRED TO APPLY ADDITIONAL APPLICATION FORCE TO APPLY THE BRAKES DURING SUB FREEZING DRIVING CONDITIONS" THE FACT IT WITH ALL THE FORCE I COULD APPLY THE CAR BARELY CAME TO A STOP. NO WARNING ABOUT TO AVOID TOWING. AND CERTAINLY THE TEMPERATURE WHERE WAY ABOVE SUB FREEZING. SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP AND AS OF TODAY NOBODY IS ABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE PARTS. THIS ISSUE IS HUGE AND CHRYSLER HAS TO UNDERSTAND THE BIG POTENTIAL OF FATAL OR BADLY INJURED CRASHES ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSIDERING THE TOWING CAPABILITY OF THAT VEHICLE. I AM ALSO SURE THAT CHRYSLER IS SELLING NEW CARS WHICH HAVE THE NEW PART IN QUESTION INSTALLED INSTEAD OF TAKING CARE OF CURRENT OWNER HOW ARE IN DANGER LOSING THEIR BRAKES WHILE DRIVING DAILY. I AM ALSO CONVINCED THAT CARS RETURNED ON LEASE WILL HAVE THE NEW COMPONENTS INSTALLED SO THEY CAN BE RE-SOLD. I HOPE THIS COMPLAIN FINDS THE RIGHT EAR AND MAKES CHRYSLER PUT A HIGHER PRIORITY AND URGENCY ON THIS MATTER. AT THE MOMENT THEY SEE IT TO LIGHTLY. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, BRAND NEW... LITERALLY 0 MILES ON IT. BEGINNING AT JUST SHY OF 36,000 MILES IT BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY HAVE CRANKING AND STARTING ISSUES. EVERY TIME I WOULD TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NEVER GET THE PROBLEM TO "REPLICATE." AFTER SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS COSTING $104.86 EACH, THEY FOUND NOTHING. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 38,902 MILES, AND AFTER THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE RECURRENT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ME TO REPLACE MY KEY FOB BATTERY AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE IN MY PCM & WCM. ($170.00) THE PROBLEM DIDN'T SUBSIDE, AND I WAS LEFT TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM WHICH OCCURRED AT MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, BUT ONLY INTERMITTENTLY... UNTIL YESTERDAY. AFTER APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN+ ATTEMPTS TO GET THE JEEP TO CRANK AND START, I TOOK TO YOUTUBE (HTTP://YOUTU.BE/27XKM0FAIWI) WHERE I FOUND THAT I WAS NOT ALONE. NOT ONLY AM I NOT ALONE, I NOW REALIZE WHAT A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THIS IS AND THAT JEEP/ CHRYSLER/ DODGE MUST CERTAINLY BE AWARE OF IT. I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY LOCAL TAMPA, FL. DEALER TODAY FULLY EXPECTING TO GET THE RUN-AROUND, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT... JUST AS SUSPECTED THEY PASSED THE BUCK. THEY CHARGED ME ANOTHER $104.86 FOR A "DIAGNOSTIC TEST" (WHICH I ALREADY HAD INFORMED THEM OF WHAT THEY'D FIND)! THEY THEN QUICKLY HANDED ME A REPAIR QUOTE OF $1,300+ TAX. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER (1-800-992-1997) AND I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE WHO BASICALLY AFTER A 30 MINUTE CONVERSATION OF EXPLAINING MY SITUATION STATED THAT IF I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE UNDIAGNOSED ISSUE AT 36,000 MILES AND WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, IT'D WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. SO ESSENTIALLY ALL THAT COULD BE DONE WAS FOR ME TO LEAVE MY JEEP WITH THEM FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG AND PAY THE ASSESSED FEE. SHE THEN ADDED THAT I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE N.H.T.S.A (1-888-327-4236) TO WHICH I DID. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 32K MILES. I BEGAN SEEING AN ISSUE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT WOULDN'T START (USING PUSH BUTTON STARTER). EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS THE PROBLEM HAS INTERMITTENTLY REAPPEARED BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS IT'S TAKING LONGER TO START ONCE THE ISSUE IS SEEN. I'VE NOTICED THAT IF I USE THE KEY INSTEAD OF THE PUSH BUTTON IT'LL START RIGHT AWAY. IN WHAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS UNRELATED I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE SIMPLY CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH ON BOTH OCCASIONS IN WHICH THIS OCCURRED. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. THANK YOU, *TR

FINALLY ON 8/14/14 IT WAS AT IT'S WORST TAKING MANY MORE TRIES AND BARELY STARTED WHEN I LEFT WORK AND AGAIN PICKING UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL. I MADE IT HOME BUT IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN AFTER THAT. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/19/14. WE WERE INFORMED ON 8/20/14 THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED COSTING $1300.

Summary

AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AT FIRST, THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRES AND THEY SAID THE AIR PRESSURE ON ALL 4 VEHICLES WAS FINE. TWO DAYS LATER, TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN. ONCE I WAS LEAVING WORK, I ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 5 TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTED. AT THIS POINT I WAS A BIT LEERY AND DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO JEEP DEALER AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. AT THE TIME THE REP STATED THAT HE COULD NOT LOOK AT THE VEHICLE UNTIL MONDAY BECAUSE HE TWO DAYS BEHIND. AFTER DESCRIBING TO HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE INDICATED THAT THE STARTER SEEMED TO BE STICKING AND HE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY THAT IT MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND PARKED IT. THE NEXT DAY, I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER. NO LUCK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I GAVE UP AND ENDED UP GETTING A RENTAL FOR THE WEEKEND. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY PART IN THE VEHICLE THAT HAS ENFORCED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE FROM SEVERAL CHRYSLER, JEEP AND DODGE OWNERS. PREDOMINATELY OWNERS OF THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL NOT REPAIRABLE, AND I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN TOWING IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY THEM $100 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DECLARED A NATIONWIDE ISSUE. I TOO AM A DEDICATED JEEP CUSTOMER AND REALLY WANT TO STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT, HOPEFULLY THIS WON'T TURN INTO A GM ISSUE. *TR

MY CAR (SITTING IN THE GARAGE AT A SHOPPING MALL) WOULD NOT START, I TRIED TO START IT 5 TIMES, THEN LET IT SIT A BIT AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED. WENT DIRECTLY TO EASTSIDE CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY REPAIRED IT FOR ME. IT TOOK A DAY BUT COST ME 1,310.00. I SEE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR'S WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HONOR IT. SAYING IT WAS A SECOND OWNER VEHICLE. SORRY, I BOUGHT THE WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONORED. NOW KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, I AM LUCKY I WASN'T STUCK OUT ON THE FREEWAY. I FEEL LIKE I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND THINK THE COMPANY OWES ME A REFUND SINCE MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND IT ALL POINT TO THE (TIPM). MY CAR DOES NOT START, AND WHEN IT STARTS, IT STALLS RIGHT AWAY. THE TRUCK EVEN STALLED WHILE RUNNING, LUCKILY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 35 MPH WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING LIKE 60 MPH. I DRIVE WITH MY WIFE, 2 CHILDREN AND A NEWBORN AND DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. NOW FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY, I ALREADY REPLACED 2 NEW BATTERIES AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I CANT TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT SEEMS TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX, AND IM SOMEONE THAT LIVES BY EVERY PAYCHECK AND STILL BARELY AFFORDS TO PAY THIS TRUCK WITH A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO GET REPORTED TO CHRYSLER JEEP AND NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY BE PUT ON RECALL. MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO GET ON THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ANYMORE DUE TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS GOING ON. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHO TO GO TO. *TR

ON SATURDAY MORNING AFTER PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY CAR STALLED AND LOST POWER STEERING. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED ENGINE IT WAS FINE. WENT TO OTHER STORE, PARKED IT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE I RETURNED TO LEAVE. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND AFTER APP. 8 SECONDS I HEARD A SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND THE FUSE BOX AREA OR AT LEAST BEHIND THAT AREA . SOUNDED ELECTRICAL "VOOOP, VOOOP" I ALSO NOTICED WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE AROUND 30 MPH THE CAR HAD A HUGE DELAY, I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL PRACTICALLY TO THE FLOOR, AND THAN IT KICKED IN AND ZOOMED OFF. I FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING POWER AND THAN THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN! CRAZY FEELING!!! I FEEL AS THOUGH THE COMPUTER THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THE CAR IS OUT OF WRACK AND THE CAR HAS BECOME INCONSISTENT TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD OCCUR NEXT. I ALSO LOST BRAKES THIS WINTER WHILE DRIVING DUE TO BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME A RECALL. I WAS SCARED THEN AND I'M AFRAID THIS INCIDENT MAY RESULT IN SOMETHING BIGGER AND WORSE. :( *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT START. THE CAR WILL CRANK AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO START AND THEN WILL NOT START. AFTER SOME TIME, IT MAY START AND THEN APPEARS LIKE FUEL WAS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE AND THEN STALL.

FEEL FREE TO LOOK IT UP ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS. EVEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT TIPM IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CAR. PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL OF THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE TIPM CONTROLS THE POWER / SWITCHING / COMMUNICATIONS AMONGST VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CAR.

Summary

SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO START MY 2011 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE AND IT WOULD NOT START, ONLY A CLICKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THE TIPM IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOW. THE PART ALONE IS OVER $900.00, WHICH SEEMS QUESTIONABLE THAT SOMETHING WOULD GO BAD SO QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE AND COST SO MUCH TO REPAIR. BESIDES THE COST, THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND EVEN MORE SERIOUS WITH THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IS SOMEONE GOING TO RECALL THIS ITEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED????? I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND ALL MY PREVIOUS CHRYSLER/JEEP VEHICLES THINKING THEY WERE SAFE FOR MY FAMILY; NOW I'M NOT SO SURE. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THE TIPM! IN ADDITION, I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPAIRED DUE TO THE RECALL AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT IN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. *TR

Summary

SUNROOF ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE OR SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON JULY 16, 2014 AND THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER UNTIL AUG 22, 2014. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT CHRYSLER WON'T COVER REPLACED SUNROOF GLASS SINCE IT'S NOT A MECHANICAL ISSUE. ALSO, SINCE THE GLASS ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CHRYSLER WON'T PAY FOR A RENTAL WHILE MY VEHICLE SITS IN A BODY SHOP WAITING FOR THE PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE THE GLASS EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS GLASS FOR A SUNROOF WOULD BE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER UNLESS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE AFFECTING A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED. I WILL BE WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE AND REQUESTED A RENTAL VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES WITH CHRYSLER, BUT TO NO AVAIL. CHRYSLER HAS SET THE BAR FOR THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED WHEN THE GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AS MOST OF THE GLASS FELL PRIMARILY INTO FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHERE NO ONE WAS SEATED AT THAT TIME. *TR

THE JEEP WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. IT EITHER CRANKS AND CRANKS AND NEVER TURNS OVER, OR IT TURNS OVER BUT NEVER REACHES A GOOD IDLE STATE AND JUST SHUTS OFF. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, IT WOULD FINALLY START AND BE OK UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I LEAVE IT ALONE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I BELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE THE SAME AS THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A VERY PRICEY ITEM THAT JEEP (CHRYSLER) KNOWS IS FAULTY AND HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT IS ALSO AN ITEM THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AS WELL. *TR

Summary

OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM RANGING FROM A BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH TO HAVING EITHER A ROCK HARD BRAKE PEDAL OR A VERY SOFT PEDAL. THE ROCK HARD PEDAL HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF IT IS TO PUMP THE BRAKES. WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF A SOFT PEDAL AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY CLAIM THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. ONCE TELLING ME THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS A LOOSE MASTER CYLINDER CAP. LAST WEEK AS I WAS LEAVING WORK MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE ONLY BRAKE POWER THAT I HAVE IS APPROXIMATELY 1" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PEDAL THROW AND IT IS ALL MANUAL. I DROVE TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD A TECH DRIVE MY CAR AND HE DIAGNOSED A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER CONNECT SYSTEM WAS DOWN SO THEY SAID TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT HOME AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WITH THE ETA ON THE PARTS. I NEVER GOT THAT CALL AND I HAD TO CALL THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE BOOSTER IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ETA. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND FILED A CLAIM/CASE WITH THEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE EXPRESSED THIS WITH EVERY PERSON THAT I HAVE TALKED TO FROM THE DEALER TO THE REPS AT CHRYSLER. NO ONE IS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE NO SAFE TO DRIVE, I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THEY WOULD KEEP IN CONTACT WITH ME EVERY 4-5 DAYS. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR A LOANER BUT THE REPS AT CHRYSLER JUST TELL ME THAT IF I WANT ONE IT WOULD BE OUT OF MY POCKET AND IT'S NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE LOANERS. TODAY I GOT CONFIRMATION THAT THE BOOSTER WOULD BE AT THE DEALER ON MONDAY HOWEVER THE BOOSTER "INSTALLATION KIT" IS BACK ORDERED WITH NO ETA. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND I HAVE A JOB THAT REQUIRES ME TO BE IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO MY JOB. *TR

Summary

WHEN STARTING THE JEEP, IT MADE A VIOLENT SHUTTER AND WOULD NOT COMPLETELY START. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO START AND THEN STOPPING, THE JEEP FINALLY STARTED SUCCESSFULLY. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER WHO STATED THAT UNLESS THE STOP ENGINE LIGHT CAN ON, WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM A CODE TO CHECK, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I MENTIONED ISSUES WITH THE TIPM MODULE THAT I HAD READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. THEY STATED THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES. BEGINNING AROUND JULY 15, 2014, THE JEEP STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. NOT EVERY TIME WHEN STARTING BUT PROGRESSIVELY MORE OFTEN UNTIL ON JULY 28, 2014, IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER ATTEMPTING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE JEEP STARTED AND DROVE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS TIME THEY IDENTIFIED THE TIPM MODULE AS THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THERE WAS A NEED TO WIRE AN EXTERNAL RELAY AROUND THE MODULE SO THAT THE FUEL PUMP RECEIVED POWER. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE IT IS AFFECTING SO MANY CARS AND JEEP NEEDS TO ANNOUNCE A RECALL TO FIX THIS DEFECT AND ALSO TO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD REPAIRS MADE. *TR

Summary

GOOD EVENING. I HAD PURCHASED A 2011 CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE ON 7/4/2014. I HAD START TO EXPERIENCE CLUNKING SOUND AND CLICKING AS I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL A FEW DAYS AFTER MY PURCHASE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT SCHEDULED ME AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE A BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL ON 7/18/2014 AND WOULD ADDRESS OTHER ISSUES THAT I MAY HAVE. DURING MY APPOINTMENT IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE REASON FOR THE ISSUES IN MY STEERING WHEEL WAS THERE RESULT OF MY FRONT STRUTS BEING WORN DOWN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STRUTS WHERE ON BACK ORDER AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED ONCE THEY COME IN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEIR REPLACEMENT ON 8/1/2014 AT 9:45AM. AFTER 7/18/2014 MADE ME QUESTION IF MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED JEEP HAD UNDERWENT THE 125-POINT INSPECTION THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED TO MAKE IT A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. I HAD THEN WENT ON THE JEEP WEBSITE TO FIND OUT WANT THE 125-POINT INSPECTION ENTAILED. UNDER #90 OF THE 125-POINT INSPECTION, SPEAKS OF SHOCKS AND STRUTS. MY QUESTION NOW WAS IF MY CERTIFIED JEEP UNDER WENT THE 125-POINT INSPECTION, THEN THE STRUTS SHOULD HAD BEEN ADDRESSED PRIOR TO SALE. I AM NOW BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THE 125-POINT INSPECTION HAD BEEN COMPLETED. I WOULD NOT GET ANY COOPERATION, JUST PASSIVENESS. I HAD THAN CALLED THE JEEP CHRYSLER INFORMATION CENTER FOR SOME TYPE OF RESOLVE IN FINDING OUT IF THE 125-POINT INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED, TO NO SUCCESS. I AM VERY MUCH CONCERN OF MY SAFETY,AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED PRIOR TO IT BEING SOLD TO ME. IF THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CONDUCT THE 125-POINT INSPECTION, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE OF THIS ACTION. PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING SPORADIC AND INTERMITTENT HARD CRANK STARTS AS WELL AS PARTIAL STALLING WHILE TRAVELING. WHEN PLACING THE KEY/PUSH BUTTON TO THE "ON" POSITION, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD ENGAGE, BUT WAS QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY A "CLICK" NOISE, WHICH SHUTOFF THE FUEL PUMP. EVENTUALLY, AFTER 6-12 ATTEMPTS, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD ENGAGE LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. WHILE TRAVELING, RPMS WOULD SUDDENLY DROP, TYPICALLY WHILE BRAKING/SLOWING FROM TRAVELING. AFTER PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AND MORE CONSISTENT, VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAILING FUEL PUMP. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRICAL RELAY TO THE FUEL PUMP, A PART OF THE TIPM, WAS SHORTING AND PREMATURELY FAILING. A BYPASS RELAY WAS RE-WIRED AND SEEMS TO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

A CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO REPLACED THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIPM IN MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND WITH 58,000 MILES TODAY AT A COST TO ME OF $1230. THE TIPM CONTROLS AND DISTRIBUTES POWER TO ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD ONE IN STOCK, AND AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER 2011 GRAND CHEROKEES. MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS CITE FAULTY TIPM DEVICES FAILING WHILE THE CAR WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 65 MPH CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. OTHERS MENTION LIGHTS FAILING AND OTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE EASILY FOUND ONLINE. I'M WRITING TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL OR SOME INITIATIVE THAT WILL REIMBURSE CONSUMERS THAT UNKNOWINGLY PURCHASED VEHICLES WITH A FAULTY TIPM. THE 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND OWNERS HAVE BEEN WRONGED. *TR

Summary

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN SIX MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY KEY FOB AFFECTING MY ENGINE. I AM AFRAID THIS MAY BE AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME IT'S THE KEY FOB BATTERY. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE ENGINE WAS DEAD. THEY REPLACED BOTH KEY FOBS 6 MONTHS AGO AND TOLD ME THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. THIS TIME WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON THE ENGINE MADE A SCREECHING RATTLING SOUND, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. EVENTUALLY IT DID AND I TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TOWED 30 MILES TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE KEY FOB BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN IF THEIR COMPUTER SHOWED THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HE AGREED BUT TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, OTHER THAN THE KEY FOB BATTERY. I TOLD THEM BOTH KEY FOBS WERE NEW. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND IT ONLY HAS 11,605 MILES ON IT. HOW ON EARTH CAN A KEY FOB CAUSE ENGINE PROBLEMS? I MAY NOT BE AN EXPERT ON CARS BUT I'M NOT STUPID. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION. I HOPE JEEP FIXES THIS BEFORE THERE ARE ANY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS. I NOW FEEL I AM FORCED TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR OVER $2,100.00 BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRES NEXT MONTH. I DON'T THINK I WOULD EVER BUY A NEW CAR AGAIN. THE OLD ONES SEEM MORE RELIABLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW, KNOWING IT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE REASONS WHY. KEY FOB BATTERY? I FIND THIS VERY HARD TO ACCEPT. I WOULD LIKE THE OLD KEY IGNITION - I DON'T TRUST THESE PUSH BUTTON IGNITIONS. MY 2011 JEEP IS STILL AT THE DEALER BUT THEY HAVE TOLD ME IT'S READY FOR PICK UP. *TR

Summary

I HAVE TRIED TO START MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES WITH JUST CONTINUOUS CRANKING. I CALLED TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 55 MPH WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR AFTER DAYCARE- AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME!!!! VERY SCARY. I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BRAKES AND CAR WERE NOT WORKING- JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AGAIN AND GOT TO A SAFE LOCATION. I THEN HAD IT TOWED. I DID SOME RESEARCH TO FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THIS. ARE THEY INSANE?!!! WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY- THE PRICE TO FIX THE ISSUE IS $1300+. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR ME AND MY NEW BABY. NOW I HAVE TO DISH OUT $1300 BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX? THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE TIPM NOT PERFORMING ON THESE MODELS- PLEASE RESEARCH ALL THE FORUMS THAT TALK ABOUT THIS. THERE IS ALREADY LAWSUITS PENDING. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO FIX A CAR WITH 39000 MILES ON IT. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A JEEP OR CHRYSLER AGAIN. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS 38 MONTHS OND, 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 30,120 MILES. JEEP REFUSES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY, AND EVEN DENIES THAT BEND DOOR FAILURES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS, EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER BEING UNABLE TO STOP 3 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY HOUSE I CALLED JEEP ABOUT THE BRAKE RECALL. JEEP NEVER CONTACTED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY JEEP WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I LET THEM KNOW I NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING THE CAR, AS IT HAD FAULTY BRAKES AND KINDLY REQUESTED A LOANER AS I HAD FAMILY ARRIVING THAT WEEKEND AND WOULD BE DOING A LOT OF TRAVELING. THE SERVICE WRITER LET ME KNOW THAT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THE JEEP WILL STOP WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE & MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT IN WARMER WEATHER. IT IS CURRENTLY 80 DEGREES IN COLORADO WITH NO SIGN OF COOLING. I INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE CAR HAD ALREADY ALMOST CAUSED 3 ACCIDENTS AND I DID NOT FEEL CONFIDENT IN IT'S ABILITY TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HE APOLOGIZED AND INFORMED ME THAT HIS SUPERIORS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME A LOANER BECAUSE BASED ON THE RECALL NOTIFICATION THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. IN WHAT WORLD IS A CAR WITH FAULTY FUNCTIONING BRAKES SAFE FOR ITS OWNER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD!?! JOHN ELWAY JEEP OF GREELEY, COLORADO WAS THE DEALERSHIP INVOLVED. *TR

OUR 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WOULD NOT START. PLENTY OF CRANK BUT NO START. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER BUT THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES SET IN THE COMPUTER AND THE TECHS COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE STARTED EVERY TIME FOR THREE DAYS. THIS PROBLEM HAS PLAGUED US ON TWO MORE OCCASSIONS DURING THE FALL OF 2013 (AGAIN, NO ISSUES FOUND) AND HAS RAISED ITS UGLY HEAD IN MAY OF 2014. MY COMPLAINT; JEEP DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM ,HOWEVER, A SIMPLE SEARCH OF THE WEB PRODUCES VOLUMES OF "NO START" TESTIMONIALS FROM OTHER VICTIMS AS WELL.

Summary

STARTED THE JEEP UP IN THE MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND AS I BACKED INTO THE STREET AND TRIED STOPPING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND THE STOPPING POWER WAS ALMOST NONE. I THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE TO GO THE 30 YARDS TO THE STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND COULD NOT STOP. I HAD BOTH FEET STOMPING ON THE PEDAL, BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER. I MADE IT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I STOPPED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE JEEP SITS FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AND IS THEN DRIVEN AGAIN. I HAVE FOUND THAT PUMPING THE BRAKES 10-15 TIMES BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE ALLEVIATES THE ISSUE FASTER. I AM WORRIED THAT EVENTUALLY THIS WILL HAPPEN EVEN AFTER THE BRAKES ARE 'WARMED UP' WHEN I REALLY NEED THE BRAKES. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE IN FORUMS ONLINE AND IT SEEMS VERY COMMON FOR THE NEW-STYLE GRAND CHEROKEES TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE PART IS OVER $200 WITHOUT INSTALLATION, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE WITH 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED GRAND CHEROKEE FROM A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS EXTREMELY STIFF AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE AT TIMES. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT ISSUE. BRAKES WILL BEHAVE NORMALLY AND THEN PEDAL WILL BECOME VERY STIFF THE NEXT TIME THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. MY MECHANIC EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM AND CHRYSLER BOTH STATE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT RECALLED DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE RECALLED DEFECT. *TR

NO DETAILS WERE GIVEN TO ME OTHER THAN IT FAILED. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED WHERE IT DID. THERE ARE SO MANY SITUATIONS THAT THIS COULD HAVE COST HER LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S.

I PURCHASED THE ABOVE LISTED VEHICLE IN APRIL 2013, HAD TO BRING IT BACK FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I HAD LITTLE TO NO PEDAL, BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER WAITED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME. SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT BEING THE TRUCK WAS ON THE LOT FOR A WHILE, THE BRAKES GOT WARPED. WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE CHANGED. I LEFT WITH THE VEHICLE THAT HAD A LITTLE MORE PEDAL SINCE I BROUGHT IT INTO SERVICE.ON OR ABOUT THE FIRST WEEK OF FEB. 2014 I EXPERIENCED MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO SERVICE EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. I GET INTO MY VEHICLE A FEW DAYS LATER AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THIS TIME I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ALMOST 10 MILES AT 20 MPH TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED THEY FIX THE BRAKES. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT GOT INTO MY VEHICLE DROVE IT DOWN THE STREET WHILE I WAS THE VEHICLE,THE VEHICLE WAS THERE FOR ALMOST FIVE WEEKS, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL ON APRIL 10, 2014 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS READY. I GET INTO THE VEHICLE I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL GOES RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE WRITER THAT I NEEDED REAR BRAKES AND THAT IS WHY ITS DOING THAT. THE COST FOR REAR BRAKES WAS ABOUT 500.00, I DECLINED AND TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER I HAD MY BRAKES DONE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE IN NEED OF REPAIR. HE LOOKED INTO THE SYSTEM AND TOLD ME ONLY MY FRONT BRAKES WERE REPAIRED, THEY JUST SURFACED THE ROTORS AND PUT THE SAME PADS BACK ON. I WENT TO THE SHOW ROOM ASKED FOR A 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE BROUGHT IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND SHOWED THEM A VEHICLE WITH 6000 MORE MILES THAN MINE AND TWO MILLIMETERS LESS PAD THAN MINE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FULL. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS APPROACHING SLOW TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKES WERE HARD AND FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE DID SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS GOING 55MPH AND THEN TRAFFIC SLOWED TO ABOUT 20-25MPH BUT COULDN'T. I HAD TO VEER OFF INTO THE LEFT LANE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WASN'T THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKING IN EITHER. I THE BRAKES WERE JUST FAILING. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT AGAIN THE BRAKES WERE HARD, AS IF THE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED WITHOUT APPLYING ANY BRAKE. LUCKILY I WAS CAUTIOUS FROM THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT AND WAS APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO JUST BARELY MAKE THE TURN WITHOUT COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER CAR. THANKFULLY THERE WEREN'T ANY PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE STREET, IN NEW YORK CITY THIS IS A RARITY. AFTER ALL THIS HAPPENED I CHECKED ANY RECALLS WITH MY VEHICLE AND SAW THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL. I CALLED TWO JEEP DEALERS ( BAYSIDE JEEP IN NY AND EAST HILLS JEEP IN NY) AND BOTH GAVE ME A HARD TIME SAYING THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL OUT FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY ARE SAYING MY VIN # DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL AGAINST IT BUT JEEP HASN'T ASSIGNED THE RECALL TO ANY SPECIFIC VIN #S, THEY SAY TO JUST BRING IT IN TO GET CHECKED OUT. SINCE THIS WASN'T A MANDATORY RECALL TO MY VIN# I WASN'T GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE FOR 1WEEK AT BAYSIDE JEEP AND 2DAYS LATER AT EAST HILLS JEEP. I WAS GIVEN ATTITUDE AND DIDN'T EVEN CARE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Summary

HI, I AM WRITING TO YOU TODAY BECAUSE MY FAMILY AND I HAD A COUPLE NEAR MISS SITUATIONS IN REGARDS TO MY BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THERE WAS A AUDIBLE HEAVY AIR LEAK FROM THE BROKEN VACUUM SEAL GOING TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WITH NO POWER BRAKES I WAS ON THE VERGE OF REAR-ENDING VEHICLES AND EVEN WORSE PEDESTRIANS FOR A COUPLE DAYS UNTIL I COULD GET MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LICENSED MECHANIC PRIOR TO SERVICING AND HE TOLD ME OF A VERY RECENT RECALL THAT WAS JUST GETTING INITIATED BY CHRYSLER IN HOPES OF AVOIDING THIS EXACT SITUATION. RECALL P14. WHEN I BROUGHT MY SUV IN TO GET IT SERVICED THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSIGNED ON BEHAVE OF MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER EVEN THOUGH THEY DID AGREE THIS RECALL FITS EXACTLY TO WHAT MY DEFICIENCY IS. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED AS WE SPEAK BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE OR FOOL AROUND WITH ANYTHING AS VITAL AS MY BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE BOOSTER AND VACUUM SEAL. IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND TO INFORM ME AS TO WHY THIS RECALL IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VIN AND 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE AS A FAULTY BRAKING BOOSTER AND SEAL IS IN NO WAY SUPPOSED TO FAIL IN 3 YEARS I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I AM AT THE MOMENT ON HOOK FOR A BILL THAT'S 700 DOLLARS PLUS FROM HALEY DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER IN WHITE ROCK BC. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER OVER A WEEK AGO BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

Summary

MY WIFE HAS HAD 3 SEPARATE ENCOUNTERS WHERE HER 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND HAS RANDOMLY POWERED DOWN, LOSING CAPABILITY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE (NO BRAKES/STEERING) WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST OCCASION HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2013, VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PARK AND RE-STARTED WITH NO FURTHER ISSUE. WE DIDN'T REPORT THIS INCIDENT. THE SECOND EVENT HAPPENED ON APRIL 3, 2014, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH. AGAIN, WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP SHE PUT IT INTO PARK AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 7 AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR APRIL 12. THE THIRD EVENT OCCURRED THIS MORNING, APRIL 10, 2014. THE VEHICLE SPEED IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE BUT MY WIFE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A 50MPH ROAD. THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES IN THE AREA THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT, MAINLY A SCHOOL BUS WITH CHILDREN ON BOARD. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. DIFFICULT TO DO ON THIS BUSY ROAD. I CONTACTED THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP MOVED UP MY APRIL 12 APPOINTMENT TO TODAY. SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ACCOMMODATING. THEY PLAN TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS CHECKS TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF POWER FAILURE. ALSO, THERE ARE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES PLAGUING THIS VEHICLE (POWER DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING, DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HEATER NOT WORKING, KEY NOT BEING DETECTED). THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 129,000 KMS ON THE ODOMETER AND WE BOUGHT IT PRIVATELY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO (APPROX. 105,000 KMS). I FELT THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS ISSUE GIVEN THE RECENT ATTENTION TO SIMILAR ISSUES WITH GENERAL MOTORS (IGNITION SWITCH). IF NECESSARY, I CAN PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. *TR

BOUGHT A USED JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2011 W/ 19K MILES ON IT (IT WAS LEASED BEFORE). FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH 30K MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER A LITTLE BIT BUT WOULD NOT START. DEALERSHIP SAID FUEL PUMP WAS BAD, RUNNING AFTER VEHICLE TURNED OF THEN DIDN'T GET POWER WHEN TURNING IT ON. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUEL PUMP, WENT TO PICK IT UP FROM DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULDN'T START. SECOND TRIP (WITHIN 2-3 DAYS) TO DEALERSHIP IT STARTED UP. WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS, THEN SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN. VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START UP, SOUNDED THE EXACT SAME AS THE PRIOR ISSUE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIPM, CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 12 MONTHS. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE SAME ISSUE CAME ABOUT. CAR TURNING OVER BUT NOT STARTING. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY KEY FOB AND IT WORKED FOR 1 DAY, THEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. NOW MY JEEP IS SITTING AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING TO THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ANOTHER FUEL PUMP. I HEARD TODAY THAT THEY FUEL PUMP IS REPLACED BUT STILL NOT GETTING POWER TO IT (TIPM PROBLEM AGAIN). CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE FOR AN OBVIOUSLY FAULTY PART THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS LAST TIME WHEN I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE DEALER I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE TO LET ME FATHER HEAR THE NOISE IT WAS MAKING. A DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN WALKED BY HEARING THE NOISE IT MADE AND ASKED, "IS IT A 2011?", I REPLIED, "YES", HE FOLLOWED UP BY SAYING THAT MODEL AND YEAR HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM, WHICH FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR WERE MOVING AND IT WENT OUT. YOU WOULD BE LEFT WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CHRYSLER HAS MADE A PRODUCT THAT IS FAULTY AND REALIZES IT, YET THEY STILL CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PARTS. *TR

I OWN MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS NOW WITH 23K MILES ON IT, GOT IT AS BRAND NEW. ON FEB 24TH MONDAY MORNING I EXPERIENCED A BRAKE ISSUE, PLUS HISSING NOISE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD. FIRST I THOUGHT IT NEEDS SOME TIME TO WORK AROUND AFTER BEING ON DRIVEWAY FOR 2 DAYS(ON A WEEKEND) BUT AFTER DRIVING AROUND AND WAITING ON A RED LIGHTS THAT NOISE DIDN'T GO AWAY. BRAKING IS KIND OF DIFFERENT NOW, I NEED TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARDER IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR BUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT. POWER BRAKE BOOSTER IS BACK-ORDERED ACCORDING TO A SERVICE CENTER REP AT THE DEALER I GOT MY CAR FROM. NOW NEED TO WAIT, PAY FOR IT AND INSTALLATION. LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, WHY NOT A RECALL? *TR

Summary

ON 2/26, I EXPERIENCED A BRAKE FAILURE IN MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS VERY STIFF, AND I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE AS QUICKLY AS I COULD BEFORE. THE PEDAL ONLY WENT HALFWAY TO THE NORMAL DEPRESSED POSITION. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING FOR REPAIR, AND I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. I WAS TOLD ON SATURDAY (3/1) THAT THE PART WOULD ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY (3/4). I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, AND THERE IS NOW NO ETA FOR THE PART (THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER). UPON FURTHER SEARCHING ONLINE, I'VE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2011/2012 GRAND CHEROKEES AND DODGE DURANGOS. APPARENTLY, THE DIAPHRAGM IN THE BOOSTER CANNOT WITHSTAND THE COLDER TEMPERATURES THAT WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING RECENTLY IN THE NORTHEAST, AND ALLOW MOISTURE TO GET INTO THE BRAKE SYSTEM, CAUSING FREEZING. DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THE BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION AT ALL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

JEEP IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURING THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH IS A RECALL, AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE AND ARE NEGLECTFUL TO THEIR CONSUMERS AND BASICALLY DON'T CARE TO PUT ME IN ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. I INTEND ON FILING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER. THEY ARE THE WORST TO DO BUSINESS WITH. THEY ARE OUT TO MAKE MONEY AND DON'T CARE IF THEIR CONSUMERS DIE. CHRYSLER HAS NO PROBLEM AND THINKS IT ABSOLUTELY SAFE TO PUT ME IN A VEHICLE THAT, WITHOUT WARNING, COULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE MY LIFE AND POTENTIALLY TAKE OTHERS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE TO WORK ON A VERY COLD NEW JERSEY MORNING MY BRAKES FELT UNUSUALLY HARD AND HIGH. AS I PULLED INTO THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT, WHERE I WORK, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ON THE DECLINE OF THE ROAD AND THEY WOULD NOT GO DOWN, THEY WENT DOWN ONLY ABOUT A CENTIMETER OR TWO, AND I JUST KEPT PRESSING THEM. AGAIN THEY FELT EXTREMELY HARD AND HIGH. THERE WAS A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF CHILDREN IN FRONT OF ME AND I JUST PRAYED I WOULD NOT REAR END THEM. THANK GOD I WAS ONLY DOING 15 MPH....IF ANY FASTER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE!!!!! I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY SAID DO NOT DRIVE IT, HAVE IT TOWED HERE. I DID HAVE IT TOWED THAT DAY AND TODAY I WAS INFORMED I NEED A BRAKE BOOSTER LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THEY ARE BACK ORDERED AND COULD TAKE 3, YES THREE WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE HUGE DEMAND. I BELIEVE IF I WAS GOING ANY FASTER THAN 15 MPH LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. :( *TR

Summary

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE TIPM'S UNIT. IT FIRST CAME UP A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2013. THE UNIT WAS FLASHED AND THE PROBLEM "FIXED" UNDER WARRANTY. THIS JANUARY IT IS NOW NOT ONLY TAKING 2-10 ATTEMPTS TO START, MY GAS MILEAGE HAS SEVERELY DECREASED AND THERE IS A FUNNY ODOR ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. I CANNOT GO TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MY CURRENT TOWN AS THERE ARE OVERLY INNONDATED WITH WORK TRUCKS FOR THE OIL FIELD SO I AM FORCED TO TAKE MY CAR TO ABILENE WHICH IS AN 85 MILE TRIP EACH WAY TO HAVE ANY WORK DONE ON IT. I WORK FOR A NON PROFIT IN MY TOWN AND THEREFORE DRIVE AROUND TO NOT SO SAFE PLACES DAILY AND HATE BEING STUCK WITH A CAR THAT WONT START. THIS POSSIBLE COULD CORRELATE TO THE ISSUES WITH MY MOTOR IN THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED IN DECEMBER OF 2013 THAT LUCKILY WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT HAD BEEN AN ISSUE AS WELL BEFORE THE WARRANTY MILEAGE ENDED. *TR

Summary

THERE ARE THREE KEY PARTS THAT MUST WORK AFTER A CAR STARTS, STEERING, BRAKING AND ACCELERATING. THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND POWER STEERING PUMP IN MY 11 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'M CURRENTLY TAKING ALL PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. I FEEL THAT AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE. IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO WEEKS WAITING FOR TWO PARTS. FACING THE WORST WEATHER CONDITIONS IN YEARS I WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING TO WORK AND WITH MY FAMILY. I UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN STATISTICS HAVE TO MEET BEFORE ISSUING A COSTLY RECALL, HOWEVER UNDER THESE CONDITIONS I'M FACED WITH (BACKORDERED PARTS) I DON'T SEE WHY AN EXCEPTION SHOULDN'T BE ISSUED AGAINST CHRYSLER. IF A PROBLEM EXISTS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO MEET DEMAND. NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET DEMAND WILL ALMOST SURELY PROVOKE A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT. MY QUESTION IS WHAT STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN BY THE NHTSA AGAINST JEEP/CHRYSLER? HIT THE GYM AND FLEX YOUR MUSCLES. THE WORST ACTION IS NOT TAKING ONE. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND BRAKES FAILED HAD TO SWERVE OFF ROAD UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO GAS STATION. MECHANIC DETERMINED IT WAS THE BOOSTER BRAKE ASSIST. HE CALLED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS ON BACKORDER AND COULD BE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE YOU GET THE PART. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ACTED LIKE THERE WASN'T AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART AND THEY WOULD EXPEDITE ONE TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY MECHANIC WAS ON PHONE WITH DEALERSHIP WHILE I HAD CHRYSLER CORP. ON PHONE. THE DEALERSHIP LAUGHED AND SAID YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET PART EXPEDITED AS THEY ARE IN SAME SITUATION WITH SEVERAL CARS THEMSELVES. SO CHRYSLER IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING, NOT GOING TO PAY FOR TOWING OF MY CAR, NOT GOING TO PAY TO HAVE CAR FIXED, NOT GOING TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR ( COULD BE MONTHS). THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH DEFECT ON THIS PART AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOME GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES FROM THIS. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MASK THE PROBLEM. DO THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL INJURIES OR DEATHS BEFORE THEY ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP. FOR CRYING OUT LOAD IT'S THE BRAKES OF THE CAR! *TR

SINCE THE WEATHER HAS GOTTEN COLD, THE POWER BRAKES ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE BEEN FAILING ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS NEARLY RESULTING IN A COUPLE ACCIDENTS. IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING A THOROUGH INSPECTION, I DETECTED A HISSING SOUND WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUSPECTING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM BOOSTER, I CALLED SEVERAL PARTS STORES IN ATTEMPT TO FIND A REPLACEMENT UNIT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT NO ONE HAD ACCESS TO THE PART AND THEY WERE ON INDEFINITE BACKORDER. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP VACUUM BOOSTERS RESULTING IN A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. BASED UPON THE REPORTS BY OTHERS, IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VACUUM BOOSTER WHICH IS EXACERBATED DURING COLD PERIODS. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NHTSA IS COMPLETING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM. IN SHORT, I AM BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. I CANNOT GET A REPLACEMENT PART TO FIX MY BRAKES AND I AM DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. ON BEHALF OF MY FELLOW CONSUMERS, WE NEED THE NHTSA TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE JEEP CORPORATION TO STEP UP AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH LOUISVILLE, KY ON FEB. 10, 2014 AND HAD TO TAKE A DETOUR; EXITED ONTO THE OFF RAMP OF STOREY AVE. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT FUNCTION. COULDN'T YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS FORCED TO MERGE. I NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AGAIN FOR THE STOP LIGHT ON SPRING ST. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I HAD TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, NEARING ANOTHER ACCIDENT. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND NOTHING, NEARING ANOTHER ACCIDENT.I TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND NOTHING. I COASTED AND WAS FORCED TO THREW MY CAR INTO PARK IN THE WORST PART OF LOUISVILLE. THE AREA WAS SO DANGEROUS, A POLICE OFFICER HAD TO SIT WITH ME. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S OFF-ROAD; WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 4 HRS FOR A TOW TRUCK. I CALLED A DIFFERENT TOWING COMPANY. AFTER 2 1/2 HRS. IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. MY FAMILY WAS INCONVENIENCED SINCE THEY HAD TO DRIVE A TOTAL OF 4 HRS. TO COME PICK ME UP. I'VE HAD NO TRANSPORTATION FOR 3 WEEKS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES ASKING WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD BE READY. ON FEB.19, THEY SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO ETA. I CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR THE PART. A MAN WHO TOLD AT LEAST 650 ORDERS ARE PLACED FOR THIS PART AND CHRYSLER IS NOT MANUFACTURING IT. THAT MEANS NO CAR FOR THE UNFORESEEABLE FUTURE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DEC.OF 2013 & 30 DAYS AFTER DRIVING IT I'M LEFT STRANDED AND INCONVENIENCED. I HAVE PAID WITH PAIN, SUFFERING AND TIME. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AND CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING NOR OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE. JEEP FORUM, NHTSA, AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. I'M CONTACTING THE MAJOR NEWS CHANNELS WITH THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL WAIT FOR A CONSUMER TO DIE, A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT AND/OR A CLASS ACTION CLAIM BE FILED BEFORE THEY TAKE OWNERSHIP AND RECALL THERE PRODUCT. *TR

THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON THIS VEHICLE FAILED CAUSING THE BRAKES TO BE NEARLY NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE COULD BE BROUGHT TO A STOP BUT ONLY WITH BOTH FEET ON THE PEDAL PUSHING AS HARD AS YOU CAN. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT USED TO COMMUTE ABOUT 40 MILES TO AND FROM WORK ON RURAL ROADS. SO VERY LITTLE BREAKING IS NEEDED. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH FAILED WAS BACK ORDERED FOR 2 TO 3 MONTHS AND I WAS NUMBER 59 IN LINE FOR ONE. MY DEALER HAD TO USE A BOOSTER FROM A SALVAGE YARD TO GET ME BACK ON THE ROAD. THE MASTER CYLINDER ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF AN O RING FAILURE WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE AND IF THERE ARE SO MANY, WHY NOT A RECALL? THIS WAS PAID FOR OUT OF MY POCKET. I LOVE JEEP, BUT THIS IS A BIT MUCH. *TR

WITH TIME AND FREQUENCY, WE BECAME MORE CONCERNING THAT WE WOULD BE STRANDED IN AN UNDESIRABLE SITUATION. AFTER READING NUMEROUS POSTS ON THIS WEBSITE, HTTP://WWW.GOTACLASSACTION.COM/CHRYSLER-INVESTIGATED-OVER-DEFECTIVE-TOTALLY-INTEGRATED-POWER-MODULE-TIPM-IN-2011-2012-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEES-AND-DODGE-DURANGOS/, WE WERE ALMOST CERTAIN WE HAD A DEFECTIVE TIPM. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY INDICATED IT HAD A FUEL RELAY SHORT INTERNALLY IN THE TIPM. THEY SUGGESTED A WIRING WORKAROUND, INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY AND BYPASSING THE DEFECTIVE TIPM. PERHAPS THIS IS BETTER THAN IMPROVISING, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW THE RISKS THIS CARRIES -- THE WIRING WORKAROUND AND THE STILL DEFECTIVE TIPM -- FOR GOING FORWARD. ADDITIONALLY, WE HOPE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL OF THE TIPM AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE WIRING WORKAROUND IN OUR FUTURE. *TR

Summary

I AM SECOND OWNER OF A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT AT THE TIME OF THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT HAD JUST UNDER 35K MILES BUT WAS 2 MONTHS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE TEMPERATURE THE MORNING OF JAN 4, 2014 WAS BETWEEN -2 & -4 F. I STARTED JEEP AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO END OF BLOCK. WHEN DEPRESSING AND/OR RELEASING BRAKE I HEARD AN AIR LEAK FROM UNDER THE DASH. I RETURNED HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE HAD GONE ABOVE 5 DEGREES F. THE CAR NO LONGER MADE THE AIR LEAK SOUND. I DROPPED VEHICLE OFF EVENING OF JAN 6 TO LOCAL MECHANIC. TEMPERATURE ON JAN 7 DROPPED TO 5 F. MECHANIC INDICATED AIR LEAK CONDITION WAS NOTED AND INDICATED ISSUE WAS POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT JEEP TO SEE IF THEY WOULD MAKE REPAIRS. I HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH CHRYSLER/JEEP AND JEEP DEALER ABOUT ISSUE. I DID NOT MENTION THAT I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC. I ADVISED THEM THAT INDICATIONS WERE A BAD POWER BRAKE BOOSTER AND THAT I FELT THIS WAS A LATENT FAILURE THAT WOULD ONLY SHOW UP AT SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES. CHRYSLER/JEEP INDICATED SINCE AUTO HAD 35K MILES BUT EXCEEDED 36 MONTHS, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND JEEP WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR COVER COST OF REPAIR WITHOUT ME PAYING. I HAD REPLACEMENT OF POWER BOOSTER DONE BY THE LOCAL MECHANIC ON JAN 15. THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS WATER IN THE BOOSTER. IT WAS THEIR DIAGNOSIS THAT THE BOOSTER HAD A LEAK THAT ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER. WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO THOSE NOTED, THE BOOSTER WOULD EXHIBIT AN AIR LEAK. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY SEARCHED THE CONDITION ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER VEHICLE INTERNET FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS BOOSTER FAILURE CONDITION IS DESCRIBED ALMOST IDENTICALLY TO WHAT I ENCOUNTERED. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT DETECTABLE UNLESS THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW A CERTAIN DEGREE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A POWER BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

Summary

MY 2011 JEEP GC HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING STARTING ISSUES FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS WHICH I ATTRIBUTED TO SOME FORM OF FUEL DELIVERY ISSUE. AFTER PUTTING IN A HIGHER OCTANE GAS AND FUEL CLEANER I THOUGHT I HAD REMEDIED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, RECENTLY THE START UP ISSUE BECAME SO PREVALENT SO I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER INDICATED THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). AFTER PAYING FOR THE SERVICE TO REPLACE THE TIPM I WENT ONLINE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM. IN DOING SO I DISCOVERED MULTIPLE OTHER JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERINCING THE SAME ISSUE. BASED ON MY READING OF THE COMPLAINTS JEEP SHOULD BE HANDLING THE DEFECTIVE TIPM AS A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO INSTALLING THE FAULTY PRODUCT DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK STALLING WHILE ON THE ROAD AND PROBLEMS WITH IT TURNING ON. AT TIMES I WOULD NOT HEAR MY FUEL PUMP TURN ON AND EVEN WHEN I WOULD HEAR IT RUN MY TRUCK WOULD STILL FAIL TO COMPLETELY TURN ON. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A YEAR OR SO. I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE STALLING AND UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS FINE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT SINCE THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL I CONTINUED ON. NONE THE LESS A FEW DAYS AGO I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM AT WORK WHERE MY TRUCK DID NOT TURN ON. LUCKILY AFTER 4 HOURS OF ATTEMPTING TO TURN IT ON IT FINALLY DID I DROVE IT HOME THE NEXT DAY IN THE MORNING IT DID NOT START UP AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE TIPM AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAD PURCHASED BUT I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY. I AM BEYOND LIVID AND UPSET WITH THESE NEW FINDINGS THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE. MY WIFE AND MYSELF HAVE MATCHING 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S AND NOW I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN TO HER! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL!!! *TR

2011 JEEP CHEROKEE, PROBLEMS WITH CRANKING AND FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF. VEHICLE IS NOT STARTING PROPERLY BUT WILL START AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THEN THE FUEL PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. DEALERSHIP STATED IT IS A FAULTY RELAY SWITCH BUILT INTO THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) SO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TIPM AT THE COST OF 1,000 FOR THE PART. AND, THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT, ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. HUNDREDS OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. FUEL PUMP COULD JUST CUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT BECAUSE OF A $10 RELAY SWITCH THAT IS BUILT INTO THE TIPM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM DUE TO FAULTY SWITCH INSIDE THE TIPM THAT IS LEAVING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STRANDED WITHOUT A VEHICLE WHILE THEY WAIT ON A SINGLE PART FOR WEEKS! *TR

THE FIRST 3 WEEKS I HAD THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. I RETURNED TO THE LITHIA DEALERSHIP IN SANTA FE 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. THEY ACCUSED ME OF FUELING THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I DO NOT FUEL MY CARS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 4,000K MILES BECAUSE THE ROBOT AT THE FACTORY DID NOT SEAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FILTER PROPERLY AND METAL FLAKES WERE FOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN AS A RESULT WHICH DAMAGED THE VALVE BOX. THE VEHICLE STILL ACTS ODD AT TIMES ' JERKING SLIGHTLY WHEN CHANGING GEARS. AT 45 MPH WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD CHANGE GEARS BY ITSELF INTO FIRST GEAR. A YOUNG TECH HAD BEEN READING A SERVICE UPDATE BULLETIN AND KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT REQUIRED A PATCH'FOR THE COMPUTER AND A DOWNLOAD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT DURING THIS TIME. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE JEEP NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY FOB UPON ENTRY AND OR TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE. FORGET THE EMERGENCY KEY THAT IS INSIDE THE KEY FOB IT WAS NEVER PROPERLY KEYED SO YOU COULD USE IT IN AN EMERGENCY. AT 15,000K MILES THE FRONT SWAY BAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OFF-ROAD AND FOR THE SWAY BAR TO BREAK DOWN LIKE THAT IS INEXCUSABLE. SUDDEN UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION. *TR

I WAS FINE TOO ASIDE FROM BEING SORE FOR 3 WEEKS AND GETTING WHIPLASH BUT THE MAIN ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF. IT SEEMS TO ME IT SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF AND I'M WONDERING IF SOMETHING IS FAULTY. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT IT WHILE IT WAS IN THE SHOP, DIDN'T DO THAT, NOW THEY WANT US TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CODE READ AND IN THE MEANTIME I'M STILL DRIVING AROUND IN A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE. AND SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE MIGHT BE AS WELL....... *TR

Summary

FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY JEEP TAKING MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO IGNITE. THE ENGINE WOULD REPEATEDLY TURN BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE ALLEN SAMUEL JEEP DEALERSHIP TWICE IN ONE WEEK, 3 WEEKS AGO, AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THOUGH I INFORMED THEM OF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAD FOUND ONLINE REGARDING THE TIPM. I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO THE RON CARTER JEEP DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 8, 2013 AND ON NOVEMBER 12, 2013 I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TIPM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER THE COST AND JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED THE TIPM AT THIS TIME. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND THERE IS A 2-3 MONTH BACK ORDER FOR THE TIPM. I WAS LUCKY IN THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ONE ON HAND AND WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY REPLACE IT. JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND FORCED TO RECALL THIS PRODUCT. *TR

SEVERAL HOURS AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A SOUND LIKE A SMALL MOTOR OR FAN COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT TO STOP THEN LOOKED AT THE FUSES LIST AND SINCE THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM NEAR THE FUEL PUMP I TOUCHED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE. THE SOUND STOPPED EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT REMOVED THE FUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO START AFTER THAT. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR "TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" JEEP'S CASE NUMBER [XXX] AND THAT THEY HAVE PRODUCED A WORK AROUND ELECTRONIC PATCH TO BY PASS THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE! I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE A BY PASS TO A HOT WIRED FUEL PUMP IS A FORMULA FOR A DISASTER. THERE MAY BE SOFTWARE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO CUT OFF FUEL IN AN ACCIDENT ETC IN THE COMPUTER MODULE? SINCE THE PROBLEM RESULTS IN THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING MANY THINGS COULD GO WRONG.

MY 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND HAS AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM. NOT ALWAYS, BUT A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY, IT WILL NOT START THE FIRST TIME, IT CRANKS AND CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START, THIS LAST FOR 10 SECS APPROX THEN SHUTS OFF, THIS MIGHT LAST ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 4 ATTEMPTS, THEN WILL START RIGHT UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND THEN FADE OUT, LIKE OUT OF GAS. OVER THE WEEKEND THE TIME BETWEEN STARTS WAS MORE LENGTHY AND AT ONE POINT IT SHUT OFF AND DRIFTED INTO AN INTERSECTION. JEEP IS "LOOKING INTO THE SITUATION" WHICH ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET IS WIDESPREAD. I WAS TOLD A RECALL WILL NOT OCCUR SINCE ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS STRANDED AT A REST STOP IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA AT 11:30 PM OVER THE WEEKEND, I THINK THAT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. MY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE WILL EXCEED $2000K AND DEALERSHIPS ARE ONLY ALOUD TO ORDER ONE PART A WEEK SINCE ITS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. ANY TIME A NEW VEHICLE THAT IS WELL MAINTAINED STRANDS YOU OR STALLS AND DRIFTS INTO AN INTERSECTION, ITS A CONCERN. THE ISSUE IS RANDOM AND CAN BE UNEXPECTED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

DURING THE SUMMER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING MY JEEP. BY 8/26/2013 IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE JEEP IN AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE TIME, 9/9/2013. WITHIN TWO DAYS THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING THE TIPM UNIT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE UNIT WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND COULD NOT GIVE ME A TIME WHEN THE UNIT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CONTACT JEEP DIRECTLY REGARDING THE PART. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE REPAIR COST FOR THE TIPM UNIT WOULD COST ME $1,050. WHEN I CONTACTED A JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ON 9/13/2013 I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON EXTREME BACKORDER AND IT WOULD NOT BE A WARRANTY ITEM. THE DEFECTIVE PART CAME INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON APPROXIMATELY 10/18/2013. I WAS WITHOUT A RUNNING VEHICLE FOR 7 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP SAID THAT BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY ON MILEAGE ONLY THAT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE PART. THE WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE IS A 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 68,491. SO I AM OVER THE WARRANTY ON MILEAGE BUT UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR YEARS. IN TALKING WITH THE SERVICE REPS THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN CARS WELL UNDER THE 36,000 MILE THRESHOLD AND THEY COVERED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE PART IS NOT A RESULT OF MILEAGE, BUT A RESULT OF POOR DESIGNED OR BAD MANUFACTURING AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

AT FIRST WOULD NOT GET ANY RESPONSE WHEN THE START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED, THIS WOULD HAPPEN MOSTLY IN THE MORNING AND FEW TIMES DURING THE DAY (CHANGES OUT THE BATTERIES IN THE HANDSETS TWICE AND OF COURSE BLAMED THE WIFE THAT IT WAS HER!!!). THIS PAST FEW WEEKS (SINCE SEPT.) THE ENGINE WILL CRANK FOR A FEW SECONDS BUT WILL NOT START, THIS IS MOSTLY IN THE MORNING BUT HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE DURING THE DAY. IT HAS NOW STARTED TO LEAVE HERE STRANDED AND ONCE 'DIE' ON HER ON THE HWY!!! I DROVE THE GC TO OUR DEALER ( HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET BACK HOME) AND AFTER A $110 SERVICE CHARGE WAS 'INFORMED' THAT IT WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE TIPM REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1300. AND WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 6-8 WEEKS AS THE TIPM IS ON BACK ORDER NATION WIDE BECAUSE OF SO MANY FAILURES!!!!! THE TECHNICIAN STATED THEY HAVE 24 ON BACKORDER. AND IF I HAD AN ISSUE TO CALL CHRYSLER!!!

SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS ON ME TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX. UNACCEPTABLE.

ALSO, SERVICE MANAGER AT BENCHMARK JEEP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL USED AN ANALOGY OF THE PART BEING A LIGHT BULB AND THAT IF YOU TURN ON A LIGHT BULB 100 TIMES IT MIGHT NOT TURN ON THE 101ST. WAY TO STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT!!! SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THE CPU THAT RUNS YOUR CAR SHOULD WORK ALL THE TIME EVERY TIME. ALSO USED AN ANALOGY OF MY HOME COMPUTER CRASHING.

LOVE THIS JEEP - BUT WORRIED ! DEALER SAYS NEW TIPM WILL BE HERE IN 10 DAYS ?

THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COSTS AS IT'S OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LUCKILY I PURCHASED THE LIFETIME BUMPER TO BUMPER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT POLICY. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THAT EITHER SO I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, THEY IN TURN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME TO TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER TO SEE IF HE'D WAIVE THE DEDUCTIBLE. I WAS SURPRISINGLY SUCCESSFUL AT GETTING THE DEDUCTIBLE WAIVED, BUT HE DID NOT HAVE TO.

Summary

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED HAVING A SLIGHT MISS IN EARLY JULY. THEN JEEP WOULD NOT START. WAITED 2 MINUTES THEN JEEP STARTED. HAD JEEP SERVICED INCLUDING NEW SPARK PLUGS FROM CHRYSLER. STILL HAD MISS AT IDLE. DROVE JEEP FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. STILL HAD MISS. SITTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC JEEP STALLED AND CAUSED A TRAFFIC BACKUP. WAITED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN JEEP STARTED.TOOK JEEP TO THE JEEP DEALER IN AUG. DEALER DID SOFTWARE UPGRADE. STILL HAD ROUGH IDLE AND HARD TO START. TOOK JEEP IN AGAIN. THEY SAID TO ORDER A TIPM. DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST SEVERAL WEEKS TO GET THE PART AND TO PARK THE JEEP DUE TO THE STALLING OUT SITUATION. WROTE AN EMAIL TO THE JEEP CEO. JEEP RESPONDED. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED IN EARLY SEPT. STALLING IS GONE BUT THE ROUGH IDLE IS NOW BACK. THIS ISSUES COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. CONSIDERING HOW JEEPS ARE USED (OFF ROAD, LONG TRIPS) ONE COULD EASILY BE STRANDED OR WORSE. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND THE LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO GET A PART IT WOULD SEEM LIKE A RECALL IS IN ORDER. IT APPEARS THAT THE PART IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED DUE TO A BANKRUPTCY OF THE OEM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF US HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WE NEED HELP! *TR

Summary

TIPM- I WENT TO START MY JEEP THIS MORNING THAT FELT LIKE A WEAK START UP, IT THEN HICCUPED AND DIED. THINKING IT MAYBE JUST A ONE TIME INCIDENT, TRIED AGAIN, WITH THE RESULT OF THE STARTER JUST CRANKING FOR ABOUT 5-6 SECONDS. THIS REPEATED MULTIPLE MORE TIMES BEFORE I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BAD FUEL PUMPS, AND THE COST TO REPLACE WAS $1600. THIS PROMPTED ME TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND ASK IF THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE. AFTER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AT HAND, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THE ISSUE TO BE CAUSED BY FAULTY PUMPS, BUT FROM THE TIPM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PRETTY PREVALENT ISSUE AMONGST OWNERS OF THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. WHEN I CALLED HIM BACK TO SEE IF THE BACKORDER ISSUES WERE TRUE, HE TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE AROUND THREE WEEKS TO GET THE PART. I IMMEDIATELY ASKED FOR THE JEEP CORPORATE NUMBER, CALLED THEM, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK TO A GUY ABOUT IT THERE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PRODUCTION RATE WAS ONE PER 7 DAYS... AND THAT COUPLED WITH THERE ARE TONS OF THESE CASES OUT THERE IS WHY IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE PART. HE WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT ITS JUST HOW FAST, (OR SLOW) THEY ARE PRODUCING THEM. I ASKED IF THE NEW PRODUCT WAS A REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL AND HE SAID THIS IS A SOLUTION FOR THE PREVIOUS ONE AND WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, NOT JUST A BANDAID. HE ADVISED ME TO HAVE IT FIXED AND HOPE THE RECALL COMES AND I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT. WITH THE PRICE OF THIS FIX BEING SO HIGH AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AFFECTED, THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE HAVE ANYONE HAVING THIS ISSUE FILE A COMPLAINT HERE. THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THERE JUST HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH FORMAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT TO VALIDATE A RECALL.... *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE THOUSANDS OF CASES ON THE INTERNET LIKE MINE. THE CAR WON'T START WHEN COLD. TO GET IT TO START, YOU HAVE TO TRY AND TRY PUSHING THE STARTER BUTTON. EVENTUALLY, IT WILL START AFTER 10-25 TIMES. I'M TOLD THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TIPM (COMPUTER). I'M TOLD THAT EVENTUALLY THE CAR WON'T START AT ALL. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IF YOU CAN'T GET YOUR CAR STARTED YOU CAN GET INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE IF YOU ARE IN HARM'S WAY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ISSUES LIKE THIS. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE 3 WEEKS TO EVEN GET THE REPLACEMENT COMPUTER. THAT MEANS THAT THE CAR IS ESSENTIALLY NOT USABLE FOR AT A MINIMUM 3 WEEKS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

Summary

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON NY HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. I PANICKED SINCE I HAD MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. BUT THE WORST THING IS THAT IT TOOK ME AROUND 30 MINUTES TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FACT. WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BLOCKING TRAFFIC. EVER SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING ENGINE. IT WILL TAKE ME ABOUT 15-30 MINUTES TO START THIS, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD. WE HAVE OWNED OTHER BRANDS BUT, THIS IS MERE 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE! REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT, WAS HAVING SAME ISSUES FOR ABOUT A MONTH. I WAS HOPING IT WILL GO AWAY UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN STARTING THE ENGINE! I HAD TO MISS WORK AND HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS I DESCRIBED THE ISSUES, A SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT ITS "TIPM" AND THEY ARE BACK ORDERED FOR 5-6 WEEKS. I JUST CAN NOT AFFORD TO COMMUTE WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT REPEAT WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. DID CHRYSLER RECALL 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4? I HAVE 6 MORE MONTHS UNTIL THE LEASE ENDS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR ANYTHING ON THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS IS MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEMS. PLEASE ADVISE *JS

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE IS GOING OUT ON MULTIPLE JEEP VEHICLES. THE TIPM CONTROLS LIGHTS, HORNS, WIPERS, AIR BAGS, ETC. WHEN THE PART QUITS WORKING, IT CAUSES MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, WHICH CAN LEAVE THE OWNER STRANDED. THE WIPERS, HORN, ETC., JUST TURN ON, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AND, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TIPM IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, WHICH MEANS WAITING WEEKS FOR REPAIR AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR THE OWNER. AND, WILL THE REPLACEMENT LAST LONGER THAN THE ORIGINAL? THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *JS

THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO POST, I TOO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I NOTICED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN MY BATTERY STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF GOING DEAD. I ALSO HEARD THE NOISE AFTER EXITING THE TRUCK IN THE EVENINGS. I THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS SOME ELECTRONICS RESETTING ITSELF, BUT THOUGHT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY SHUTOFF. I DID NOT THINK THIS COULD BE KILLING MY BATTERY. I TOO HAD TO BUY A BATTERY THANKS COST ME A PRETTY PENNY NOW TO LEARN IT TOO WOULD BE DEAD SOON. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE TRUCK DIED IN THEIR SERVICE BAY. NOT EVEN FIVE MINUTES AFTER LEAVING, THE SERVICE REP CALLED ME AND EXPLAINED HOW THEY HAD TO PUSH MY TRUCK TO THEIR SERVICE BAY DUE TO A BAD TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). WE ARE NOW WITH OUT A VEHICLE FOR AN UNDISCLOSED TIME AND STILL HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR A PRODUCT OF NO USE. CHRYSLER HAS TO FIND WAY TO ADDRESS THIS OR IT CAN COST THEM DEARLY IN REPUTATION AND IN THE POCKET IF THE RESULTS DON'T GET BETTER. A RECALL WOULD BE A START BUT PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT VEHICLES WITH MONTHLY PAYMENTS! NOT A GOOD LOOK CHRYSLER LOOKS LIKE A CLASS ACTION SITUATION.

NATIONAL PROBLEM! TROUBLE STARTING VEHICLE - BAD TIPM. MANY REPORTS OF OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS BATCH OF BAD PARTS. LOG ONTO ANY JEEP FORUM AND LOOK AROUND! TOOK 25 MINUTES TO GET THE TIPM TO START UP THE ENGINE. STARTING TROUBLE WENT AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT IS INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE. THE PROBLEM IS NOW EFFECTING ABOUT EVERY THIRD START UP AND HAS MADE ME MISS A JOB INTERVIEW BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RELIABILITY. TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER, THEY INSTALLED ALL THE FLASH UPDATES FOR THE TIPM - NO DIFFERENCE AFTER THE FLASHES WERE INSTALLED. DEALER SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW TIPM. THE CRAPPY PROBLEM IS THAT THE PART IS ON A 3 MONTH BACK ORDER! THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY (UNDER 3 YEARS / OVER 36,000 MILES) BUT I PLACED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BOTH EXPEDITE THE PART AND GET IT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICER LINE, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS HER SECOND TIPM ISSUE THIS MORNING! I WAS TOLD THE TIPM WOULD COST ME $1,000.....EVEN IF YOU COULD ORDER THE PART! DROVE VEHICLE HOME, BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD A RENTAL CAR FOR AND UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME, AND HAVE HAD ISSUES EVERY DAY. LAST WEEK, THE JEEP STALLED WHILE I WAS DOING 45 MPH ON A CITY ROAD. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO INCIDENT, BUT IT TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS TRIAL TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. I WILL NOT TAKE MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE JEEP WITH ME UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND.THE VEHICLE CLUNKS IN THE REAR END GOING OVER BUMPS AT LOW SPEEDS. TURNS OUT THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE SHOCKS/SHOCK MOUNTS. IT ONLY AFFECTS VEHICLES WITH QUADRA LIFT SUSPENSION AND TOWING PACKAGE. INCLUDING THE ORIGINALS, I HAVE HAD 4 SETS OF REAR SHOCKS PUT ON--WITH 3 INDIVIDUAL SHOCKS BREAKING-WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY HAZARD. FROM REPORTS ON JEEPGARAGE.ORG, THERE ARE AT LEAST 12 OF US IN THAT SMALL GROUP RANGING FROM 2011 TO 2014 MODEL YEARS WITH THIS ISSUE. I MADE 5 OR 6 100 MILE ROUND TRIPS TO THE DEALER WHO CHANGED SHOCKS AS HE WAS TOLD TO BY CHRYSLER. THEY CAME OUT WITH 3 DIFFERENT SHOCK TYPES (#'S) AND SHOCK MOUNTS TO FIX THIS-NO SUCCESS. NOW ONE OF OUR GROUP WITH A 2013 JGC LAREDO HAS BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS "NORMAL TO HAVE CLUNKING"-EVEN AFTER HE TOLD THEM THAT ONE SHOCK WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN.THEY ALSO HAVE HAD 2 OR 3 TSB'S ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM WITH INEFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS. SO NOW A "PROBLEM" IS NORMAL. ALL ANY OF US WANT IS FOR OUR SHOCKS TO BE SAFE AND QUIET ON VEHICLES WE PAID OVER 40K FOR. PERHAPS YOU CAN HOLD CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING MY CAR STARTED. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A FAULTY RELAY THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP WHICH RESULTS IN A CRANK BUT NO START CONDITION. THE COST WAS RIDICULOUS BUT EVEN WORSE WAS THAT IT WOULD TAKE UP TO TWO WEEKS TO GET THE PART. IN DOING SOME CHECKING, IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY OVER 1300 ORDERS FOR THIS PART WITH NONE AVAILABLE. THERE IS A SCHEDULED RELEASE TO DEALERS THIS WEEK OF ABOUT 450 WITH ANOTHER RELEASE IN ABOUT 2 MORE WEEKS. CURRENTLY THERE IS A DEMAND OF 449 PER WEEK. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THIS PART WAS MANUFACTURED FOR IT TO BREAK DOWN SO MUCH. OR IS CHRYSLER JUST MAKING A BUCK BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US?

INITIALLY, I TOOK THE CAR (2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE) TO THE DEALER DUE TO A ROUGH IDLE, A SHAKING THAT HAD NOT OCCURRED BEFORE. THEY DISMISSED IT SAYING IT WAS DUE TO US RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING DURING THE SUMMER. I THEN RAN THE CAR WITH OUT THE AC ON AND IT STILL OCCURRED. NEXT, THE CAR BEGAN CRANKING AND NOT STARTING. I LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET AND SAW MANY OTHERS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP/CHRYSLER TIPM PART. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM, AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK IN TO THE TIPM ALSO AS OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS "TWO CODES" THAT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND NOT THE TIPM. WITHIN 24 HOURS, THE CAR DID NOT START AND CRANKED AGAIN. FOR THE THIRD TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN REPORTED IT COULD EITHER BE THE FUEL PUMP OR THE TIPM. ( I TOLD THEM THAT WAS WHAT I HAD ASKED FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE LAST VISIT.) THEY THEN DETERMINED IT IS THE TIPM, AND THE NEEDED PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 9-25-13, LEAVING ME CAR LESS UNTIL THAT TIME. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS A 5 DAY RENTAL AND CHRYSLER HAS THUS FAR REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL UNTIL THE PART IS RECEIVED. THANK YOU.

Summary

I TRIED TO START MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2011 WITH THE PUSH START AND IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT CRANK. I FINALLY GOT IT CRANK AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND WAITING FIVE MINUTES. I HAVE SINCE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP EACH MORNING OR AFTER IT SITS FOR MORE THAN FOUR HOURS. IN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY STARTING EVERYDAY. IT GETTING HARDER TO START. I READ ONLINE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SOMEONE RECOMMENDED USING THE REMOTE START BUTTON TO START YOUR VEHICLE. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL GETTING MY JEEP CRANKED EACH DAY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I NEED A TIPM AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM A FEMALE NURSE WHO DRIVES MY CAR FOR A LIVING AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. I GO IN UNSAFE AREAS FOR MY JOB AND IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING WORRY IF MY JEEP START. IT IS GOING TO COST OVER 1200.00 TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED AND PART IS ON BACK ORDER. I WORRY EVERYDAY THAT I WILL GET STRANDED AND THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE AN AWARD WINNING SUV. PLEASE HELP ME!

Summary

STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP ON AUGUST 13TH 2013. I TRAVEL TO ALL PARTS OF THE CITY AND IN SOME CASES FIND MYSELF IN AREAS THAT YOU WOULD MOST CERTAINLY NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED...BY THE END OF THE DAY, I FOUND MYSELF IN A BAD PART OF TOWN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER...TOOK ABOUT 25 MINUTES TO FINAL START AND I GOT IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED, I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP....THERE IT HAS BEEN FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS W/ NO REAL SOLUTION IN SIGHT..I AM TOLD IT MAY BE THE TIPM??? AND THAT THIS PART MAY NOT EVEN BE AVAILABLE THROUGH A 2ND OR 3RD PARTY MANUFACTURER THAT MAY BE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS?? WHERE DOES CHRYSELER STAND ON THIS??? SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A HUGFE ISSUE THAT IS CROPPING UP AND NOBODY HAS ANY ANSWERS FOR THE HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS W/ THE SAME ISSUE?? I PRAY IT DOESN'T PUT SOMEONE IN A COMPROMISING POSITION WHEREIN THEY ARE INJURED BY CIRCUMSTANCE THROUGH THIS ISSUE OR STRANDED W/ A HEALTH CONDITION THAT LEADS TO SOMETHING MORE???

DIAGNOSED AS TIPM PROBLEM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) CAR INITIALLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH HEADLAMPS AND WIPERS MALFUNCTIONING, THEN IGNITION WOULDN'T TURN OVER AND THEN WHEN IT FINALLY DID THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF! BROUGHT CAR STRAIGHT TO JEEP DEALER AFTER IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF AND WAS TOLD IT WAS TIPM. THEY SAID PART WAS BACK ORDERED OVER A MONTH AND CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN THE MEANTIME. THIS IS A HUGE CONSUMER PROBLEM ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH MULTIPLE MODEL JEEPS AND SEVERAL MODEL YEARS. THE PART IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AND I WAS EVEN TOLD A BOAT SANK AND THAT IT WHY IT IS BACK ORDERED NATIONALLY FOR MONTHS. LOOKING AT OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. CARS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND PEOPLE ARE WAITING MONTHS FOR THE PART. *JB

Summary

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FINALLY STOPPED ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2013. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP. AFTER THREE WEEKS OF IT NOT WANTING TO START AND LEAVING ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES I WAS FORCED TO BUY A NEW BATTERY ONLY FOR IT TO DO THE SAME THING. TODAY IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A BAD TIPM. BUT THAT'S NOT THE BAD PART, A TIPM IS $1200.00 AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY! LOOKED IT UP ONLINE TODAY AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR THE SAME TIPM PART. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED BY JEEP AND REPAIRED FOR NO CHARGE SINCE IT ALSO CONTROLS THE AIRBAGS. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. IN THE MEANTIME, I, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE, HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD CAR THAT IS JUST SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET FIXED. *JB

INCIDENT ON 8/29/13 CAR STALLED TO START- TOOK CAR TO DEALER ON 8/30/13 AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO BE THE TIPM. PART WAS ORDERED BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT IS COMING IN AND IT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THIS TIPM CAUSES THE CAR NOT TO START. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 5 TRIES TO START MY CAR- THEN FINALLY IT STARTED. THE CAR BASICALLY STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. CALLED CORPORATE 9/4 AND SPOKE WITH ELLA COMPLAINING ON THE ISSUE. SHE THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND CONFIRMED THAT PART HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT DOES NOT KNOW AN ARRIVAL DATE. SHE SAID THEY WILL EMAIL MONTHLY ON THE STATUS OF MY PART. I THEN SAID "MONTHLY". SHE REPLIED YES WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN. I TOLD HER I AM GETTING VERY AGITATED AND THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY A CAR NOTE ON TOP OF A RENTAL. I ASKED HER WHAT DO THEY DO IN A SITUATION WHEN A CAR CANNOT BE FIXED???? DO YOU REFUND $$ GIVE A NEW CAR.... SHE COULD NOT ANSWER (BASICALLY SAYING NO). I TOLD HER MY RENTAL WILL BE UP ON SATURDAY AND I WANT A NEW ONE ON THEIR EXPENSE BECAUSE THEIR SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE DEALER NOT HAVING THIS PART OR KNOWING WHEN IT WILL BE IN. SHE ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK ON SATURDAY REGARDING THE RENTAL. SOME CARS AT MY DEALER HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PART FOR MONTH. SHE STATED THAT SHE WILL ESCALATE ME FILE WITH SPECIAL TRACKING. IT SEEMS LIKE CHRYSLER IS TELLING ALL VEHICLE OWNERS THIS. *JB

Summary

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 4X4 2011 IS EXPERIENCING STARTING PROBLEMS. THE YARK JEEP DEALER IN TOLEDO OHIO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE OR TIPM ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2013. I HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS DUE TO A FEAR OF BEING IN A STRANGE PLACE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THE YARK DEALERSHIP, ON ADVICE OF CHRYSLER, PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH SEEMED TO WORK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEN IT [CONSTANT STARTER CRANKING, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS BECAUSE THE TIPM WAS NOT SENDING ANY POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP] STARTED AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW, I AM BEING TOLD, BY THE YARK DEALERSHIP, THAT THERE IS A 2000 PART BACKLOG ON THE TIPM AND THAT THE PART-DISTRIBUTOR RE-STOCKING DATE HAS MOVED FROM 9/9/2013 TO 9/23/2013. IF THE DELIVERY DATE HOLDS I WILL BE WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS. INTERNET RESEARCH (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0F8B2B/1112) REVEALS MANY PEOPLE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR UNLESS THE TIPM IS TOTALLY NON-FUNCTIONAL WHICH I FEEL IS UNACCEPTABLE.

MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). IT IS FAULTY AND NEEDS REPLACED AND SO ARE 25,000 OTHER 2011 VEHICLES IN THE USA. PART IS ON BACKORDER AND THERE IS A BUSINESS PROBLEM WITH THE VENDOR. I AM FLAGGING THIS SITUATION AS A LIFE, HEALTH, AND SAFETY MATTER NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE ON FILE 5 - 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIR BAGS WERE WRITTEN UP IN THE POLICE REPORTS AS NOT DEPLOYING. THIS GOES RIGHT BACK TO THE TIPM WHICH IS THE BRAINS OF THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS ARE WIRED INTO THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THIS IS THE CASE WHERE YOU NEED TO CONNECT THE DOTS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF US OUT THERE THAT WON'T START BECAUSE WE NEED THE TIPM. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER THOUSANDS OUT THERE THAT DIDN'T DEVELOP THE FAULT YET IN THE TIPM BUT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE ODDS THAT THE AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY HAS BEEN GREATLY INCREASED. THIS CONSUMER/JEEP OWNER HAS NO FAITH AT ALL THAT MY BAGS WILL EVER DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. WHEN MY JEEP IS RETURNED TO ME I AM IMMEDIATELY TRADING IT IN. NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO MAKE A RECALL, THEY WILL NEVER DO IT ON THEIR OWN.[XXX]PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.552 (B) (6). *JB

Summary

WENT TO START MY JEEP AFTER IT SAT FOR A FEW HOURS AND NOTICED EXTENDED CRANKING. IT DID FIRE UP AND I DROVE 65 MILES TO THE GYM. SAME EXTENDED CRANKING ISSUE WHEN I GOT OUT THE GYM AN HOUR LATER, BUT EVENTUALLY, STARTED AND I MADE IT HOME. DID THIS ONE MORE TIME FEW DAYS LATER AND THE FIRST MONDAY IN AUGUST IT WOULDN'T START WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING. TOOK MY WIFE'S VEHICLE O WORK AND SHE TRIED IT A FEW HOURS LATER AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. BROUGHT TO LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT SINCE THEY CAN SERVICE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER A FEW DAYS THERE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS HE TIPM AND THE PART WE ON ORDER, BUT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER FROM JEEP AND I WAS NUMBER 141 IN LINE WAITING FOR ONE. AS OF TODAY, 9/3/14, STILL NO PART AND STILL NO ESTIMATED DELIVERY OF SAID TIPM. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP SINCE THEN BECAUSE IT IS UNRELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO TRAVEL UP TO 300 MILES PER DAY. HAVE NOW MADE TWO PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T USE. *JB

AFTER SERVICE EVALUATED MY JEEP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED IN THE TIPM. THIS PRODUCT IS ON AT LEAST A 6 WEEK BACK ORDER AND THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE. ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS ON THIS PRODUCT. I HAVE A BUSY COMMUTE TO WORK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY JEEP STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD TO VEER TOWARD THE DITCH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT.

THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AND THEY ARE GIVING NO ESTIMATE ON WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. SO FAR CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THE INCIDENT, DESPITE HUNDREDS OF ONLINE POSTS BY OWNERS, AND MY DEALERS RECOGNITION OF MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN THEIR SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE. *JS

Summary

THIS ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) USED IN JEEP AND OTHER MAKES. THIS PART IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THE POWER SWITCHING/MODULATION/DISTRIBUTION, AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH OTHER SYSTEMS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS PART THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. OUR CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE SITTING AT A JEEP DEALER SINCE JULY WITH NO ESTIMATE FROM CHRYSLER OF WHEN THE PART MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. THERE HAS BEEN NO TALK OF A RECALL AT THIS POINT. THE PART ALMOST ALWAYS GOES BAD AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS LAPSED AND COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $900 - $1400 DEPENDING ON THE DEALERSHIP, ETC. ONCE IT GOES, THE CAR IS RENDERED USELESS. WE SPENT $2,000 AT A MECHANIC WHO THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND AN ADDITIONAL $1000+ ON A RENTAL CAR BEFORE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. WE ARE UNABLE TO ONLY HAVE ONE CAR, SO WE HAVE NOW BOUGHT A THIRD CAR. FORTUNATELY WE ARE IN A POSITION TO DO THIS. MANY PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD EVEN A RENTAL. THE SAFETY ISSUE COMES INTO PLAY BECAUSE THE CAR MAY JSUT STOP WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS DID HAPPEN TO OURS ONCE, BUT IT WAS BEFORE THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND THE CAR WORKED FINE AFTER THE INCIDENT SO WE NEVER LOOKED INTO IT. THERE IS ALSO THE ISSUE THAT SOMETIMES IT MAY START, BUT IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IT MAY NOT START THE NEXT TIME POSSIBLY STRANDING THE DRIVER WHO KNOWS WHERE. AT THIS POINT PEOPLE WOULD JUST LIKE THIS ISSUE ACKNOWLEDGED AND INVESTIGATED.

Summary

I WOULD LIKE TO PLACE A FORMAL COMPLIANT AGAINST CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC. MY FAMILY ALONG WITH HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS. THIS ISSUE IS AROUND THE TIPM DEVICE THAT SEEMS TO BE FAILING ON MANY CONSUMER'S VEHICLE DATING BACK TO THE EARLY PART OF 2013. FINALLY, AFTER A COUPLE TO TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THIS ISSUE, I WAS FINALLY TOLD THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THE PROBLEM IS THE DEALER, NOR THE CHRYSLER GROUP DOESN'T HAVE AN IDEA WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE LEAVING MANY OF US WITHOUT A CAR FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS PART (TIPM) NEEDS TO BE PLACED ON OFFICIAL RECALL BY THE CORPORATION AND UNTIL IT ACTUALLY IS.........IT HAS PLACED UNDUE FINANCIAL STRAIN OF MANY OF THE OWNERS OF THE JEEP. WE ARE EXPECTED BY THE BANKS TO CONTINUE PAYING OUR CAR NOTE, ALONG WITH INSURANCE. NOW CHRSYLER IS SAYING THAT WE MUST ALSO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR RENTALS TO REPLACE THE VEHICLES WE HAVE AND OR PAYING FOR UNTIL THEY RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT ON SO MANY LEVELS AND APPARENTLY THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS WITHOUT RECOURSE. IN CONCLUSION, JUST ASKING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND ASSIST US CONSUMERS BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC. *TT

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME COLD START ISSUES I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 2 WEEKS AND ON ONE TRIP I DROVE ABOUT AN HOUR OUT OF TOWN AND HAD TO RUN INTO A BANK. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR I STARTED IT AND DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVEWAY I WAS EXITING. TOOK 30 MINUTES FOR IT TO RESTART. THE PAPERWORK SAYS THEY REPLACED THE WIN (WIRELESS IGNITION NODE). 11 DAYS IN THE SHOP. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. CALLED DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK UP. I DID THE NEXT DAY, THIS TIME GETTING A DODGE DART FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY 8 DAYS IN THE SHOP WHEN I RECEIVED A CALL THAT IT WAS READY, THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION MODULE AND GAVE ME A NEW REMOTE KEY. THE NEXT DAY AUG 8TH WENT TO GO TO WORK AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HALF HOUR LATER GOT THE CAR STARTED AND BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME I RECEIVED A NISSAN VERSA RENTAL. THEY HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE 14 DAYS AND COUNTING. I TALK TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON THURSDAY AUGUST 15TH. AND THEY TOLD ME THEY GOT IT NOT TO START AND THAT IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS, I INTERJECTED AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THIS FORUM AND TO CHECK THE TIPM AND THEY JUST RELEASED 2000 FROM THE FACTORY ON THE 13TH. SAID HE WOULD SPEAK WITH TECHNICIAN AND GET BACK TO ME. CALLED ME FRIDAY AND SAID THEY WERE REPLACING THE TIPM AND HE WOULD HAVE A BETTER IDEA ON A TIME FRAME BY THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK. I CALLED TODAY AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT ITS BACK ORDERED TO SEPT. NOT GIVING ME ANY SPECIFICS OF WHEN IN SEPT. THE SERVICE MANAGER GAVE ME CHRYSLER NUMBER TO CALL AND COMPLAIN.THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MANY INDIVIDUALS EFFECTED IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE COMPANY IN MEXICO WHO MAKES THE PART GOES OUT OF BUSINESS. THIS IS WRONG ESPECIALLY FOR A TAXPAYERS BAILOUT COMPANY.. *TT

Summary

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE PART CALLED A TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). IT DOWNLOADS DATA AND IS PART OF THE ONBOARD COMPUTER AND SPECIALIZED FOR EACH VEHICLE. *TT MY DEFECTIVE TIPM CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL PREVENT IT FROM STARTING. THE TIPM IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO GET IT FROM THE MANUFACTURER (AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY TELL US). I HAVE READ ON SOME MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO PRODUCE THE TIPM THEMSELVES AND THAT THE COMPANY THAT MAKES IT IS GOING BANKRUPT AND CLOSING. IT IS ALSO LIKELY THAT WHOEVER MAKES IT IS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY (THEY WILL NOT TELL US WHERE). CHRYSLER IS TREATING PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY - THOSE WITHOUT WARRANTIES ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF LUCK. THEY HAVE NO WORKING/SAFE/RELIABLE VEHICLE AND HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, BUT SINCE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE, NO LUCK AND NO TRANSPORTATION. THOSE OF US WITH WARRANTIES ARE TOLD DIFFERENT LIES. THEY GIVE US A DATE THAT IS A MONTH OR TWO AWAY, THEN WHEN THAT COMES AROUND, THEY CHANGE THE DATE. WE HAVE THE ADDED "BONUS" OF BEING IN JEOPARDY EACH AND EVERY TIME WE DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND NOT KNOWING IF WE WILL BE STRANDED OR NOT. THERE ARE AT LEAST SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND ACCORDING TO ONE POST I READ ON EDMUNDS.COM, THE CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER TOLD SOMEONE THAT 25,000 OF THESE WERE NEEDED. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO A RECALL AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL CAR. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY WILL, BUT THEN PLAY THE PHONE GAME, WHERE CHRYSLER USA, CANNOT REACH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHO CANNOT REACH THE RENTAL DEPARTMENT AND SO ON.

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE FROM SHAVE JEEP IN THOUSAND OAKS, CA. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION WITHIN DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. IT WOULD SEIZE UP, USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED, STALL OUT, THUS LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ABOUT 8 TIMES UNTIL I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BIG RIG ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WHEN MY CAR DIED. THE CONSTANT ENGINE LIGHT READING WAS A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CHRYSLER TECHS ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ANY LUCK. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER SWAPPED OUT CARS WITH ME AND I FOUND OUT THEY SOLD THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT TELLING THE NEW OWNERS OF THE MAJOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

Summary

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A ADAPTIVE SPEED SENSOR THAT KEEPS THE VEHICLE AT A PRESET DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. VEHICLE IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WHICH WARNS THE DRIVER TO BRAKE IF IT SENSES AN APPROACH OF AN OBJECT THAT IS UNSAFE. THE PROBLEMS: THE SYSTEM WILL SHUT IT SELF OFF, FLASHING A WARNING THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AND SHUTS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. SYSTEM ALWAYS RESETS ITSELF AFTER MINUTES, OR LONGER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ONCE AGAIN, WORK. SAFETY ISSUE THE SYSTEM HAS THE ABILITY TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN IF IT SENSES YOU ARE APPROACHING A VEHICLE TOO FAST WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT A CAR MAY TURN OFF IN A SEPARATE LANE TO DECELERATE OR BE IN A SEPARATE LANE TO ACCELERATE AND THE SENSOR THINKS THE CAR IS IN FRONT OF IT AND STARTS BRAKING SEVERELY CAUSE IT THINKS IT IS IN ITS PATH. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN SINCE ANY DRIVER BEHIND ME WOULD NOT BE EXPECTING ME TO BRAKE WHEN CARS ARE NOT IN MY PATH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO JEEP DEALER FOR NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT. RIGHT NOW CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIRING DEALERSHIP, IF CHRYSLER DID DECIDE TO REPLACE THE PART, ITS ON BACK ORDER. *TR

Summary

SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINT FILED 2/13/2012. 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY FOB 3 TIMES (4 IF YOU INCLUDE THE BATTERY DYING AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR) WHEREBY DRIVER WAS STRANDED DUE TO KEY FOB MALFUNCTION. FIRST TIME DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE KEY FOB, HOWEVER, WHILE WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT THE THEN CURRENTLY WORKING KEY FOB ALSO MALFUNCTIONED- WHEREBY THE "DEFECTIVE" FOB WAS TRIED AND IT WORKED AGAIN. DEALER THEN SAID A COMPUTER UPDATE WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT DID SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AGAIN RECENTLY KEY FOB WOULD NOT WORK ' DRIVER ENTERED THE CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY DOOR KEY- PULLED OFF THE STARTER BUTTON AND INSERTED THE KEY MANUALLY TO BE TOLD IT WAS A "DEFECTIVE KEY" (OR SOMETHING SIMILAR). DEALER EXAMINED CAR, WORKED WITH MANUFACTURER BUT SINCE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE "DUPLICATED" THEY WOULD TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION. ALL INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE IN TOWN OF RESIDENCE. HOWEVER, IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING IT COULD BE QUITE A DISASTER AND POTENTIALLY PUT THEM IN HARMS WAY IF THEY WERE STRANDED IN FOR EXAMPLE GRAND FORKS ND IN FEBRUARY AND THERE WAS SEVERE WEATHER AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN THE PAST. NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS IN ONLINE FORUMS ALSO DISCUSS THE ISSUE (BOTH JEEP AND CHRYSLER). THE BOTTOM LINE - THIS DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN OUR HAVING A SERIOUS LACK OF TRUST IN USING THIS CAR- IT COULD PUT MY FAMILY IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. *TR

Summary

UPON SLOWING DOWN AT NORMAL DECELERATION RATES, THE BRAKES LOST POWER ALLOWING CAR TO ROLL THROUGH A STOP SIGN. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT EXHIBIT ANY OBSERVABLE PATTERN (OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, ETC). THE DEALER FIRST SAID IT WAS THE ROTORS GLAZING, BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUED AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THEM AND THE FREQUENCY HAS NOT REDUCED. THE SECOND VISIT FOUND NO ISSUES AFTER IT WAS AGAIN REPORTED. A THIRD PARTY RESOURCE INDICATED THAT IT COULD BE THE MASTER CYLINDER GASKET/SEAL. SINCE THIS ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR REGULARLY AND HAS NOT BEEN "OBSERVED" BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART. SINCE IT DOES HAPPEN AT A RATE OF ONLY 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK, IT IS TOUGH TO COMPENSATE FOR AND/OR PREDICT WHEN IT WILL OCCUR CAUSING LACK OF CONFIDENCE. OTHER NOTES ARE THAT ABS DOES NOT KICK IN DURING THE LOSS OF POWER AND THE PEDAL IS PUSHED IN AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITH THE CAR STILL MOVING FORWARD BETWEEN 5-10MPH ONLY DECELERATING SLIGHTLY. *TR

JEEP'S CLIMATE CONTROL IS NOT ALLOWING PERMANENT ENGAGEMENT OF RECIRCULATION OPTION WHICH LEADS TO ALLERGENS AND POLLUTIONS FROM OUTSIDE GET INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DRIVER REALIZING IT. FEW TIMES I WAS, LITERALLY, INCHES AWAY FROM REAR ENDING VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I'M GOING 60-65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND CLIMATE CONTROL OPENS INTAKE FOR OUTSIDE AIR, WITH MY EYES BECOMING WATERY FROM ALLERGY, I HAD TO FIND THAT RECIRCULATION BUTTON TO REENGAGE IT. IT HAPPENS EXACTLY EVERY 5 MINUTES. WHEN I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO JEEP'S DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S THE WAY SYSTEM BUILT AND THERE CAN BE TWO WAYS TO ELIMINATED THE HAZARD: COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF INTAKE OR CLIMATE CONTROL PROGRAM UPDATE. I CALLED JEEP'S HELP LINE AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE PROVIDING SUGGESTIONS STATED ABOVE. AFTER THAT I WAS GIVEN 'GREAT' EXPLANATION: CLIMATE CONTROL ACTS THIS WAY BECAUSE IT WAS DONE BY DESIGN !? BASED ON THAT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. I HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES (HONDA AND SUZUKI) AND THOSE CARS DON'T HAVE PROBLEM LIKE JEEP HAS. THIS SHOWS THAT ALL JEEP NEEDS TO DO IS ISSUE SOFTWARE PATCH FOR THEIR CLIMATE CONTROL PROGRAM TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

IT HAS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, ONE OF OUR SONS WHO IS AND AEROSPACE ENGINEER AND MYSELF ON DIFFERENT DAYS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND LOCATIONS. I PERSONALLY HAVE EXPERIENCED IT ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONE OF WHICH CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT LUNGED FORWARD OF ITS OWN ACCORD, THERE WERE TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND A WITNESS OUTSIDE THE CAR WHO REPORTED IT JUST LUNGED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. CHRYSLER INSPECTED THE CAR, FOUND NOTHING AND HAS CLOSED THE CASE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ASKED THAT WE DISCUSS THE ISSUE THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTING, FIXED NOTING AND THUS THE CASE IS CLOSED. SO THEY ARE CALLING THREE PEOPLE BOLD FACE LIARS AND MY CONCERN IS THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING SO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND MY WIFE IS AT RISK EVERY TIME SHE GETS IN THE CAR. THERE ARE OVER 1,000 COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORUMS ABOUT SUA INSTANCES ON JEEP CHEROKEES, CHANNEL 7 NEWS EVEN DID A SEGMENT ON IT A FEW YEARS BACK. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP AT ALL ON THIS ISSUE?

MY ISSUE IS WITH THE A/C EVAPORATOR IN MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS ON THE ROAD WITH THE A/C IN USE THE EVAPORATOR FREEZES UP AND AIR STOPS BLOWING OUT OF THE VENTS. I CAN STILL HEAR THE A/C WORKING BUT NOTHING BLOWS OUT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ONGOING AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM BUT HAS DETERMINED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I JUST USE THE A/C ON A WARMER SETTING OR TURN IT OFF AFTER IT FREEZES UP AND WAIT A WHILE FOR IT TO THAW OUT. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE FIX FOR A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE AND THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON A ROAD TRIP IN THE SOUTH IN HEATS OF 100+ DEGREES ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PLAN TO RIDE IN A CAR WITH FUNCTIONAL A/C.

Summary

2011, 2012 CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE PENTASTAR V6 3.6 LITER ENGINE ARE RATED TO TOW 5000 LBS UNRESTRICTED WITH THE TOW PACKAGE INSTALLED. THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE COOLING SYSTEM IN THAT IT CANNOT COOL THE ENGINE WHEN TOWING ABOUT 3500 LBS UPHILL. THE TOW VEHICLE STARTS UPHILL AT THE HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65MPH IN THE PASSING LANES WITH ENOUGH POWER TO CONTINUE AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING, LIGHTS, ETC., THE TOW VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND ABRUPTLY SLOWS TO A MAXIMUM SPEED OF ABOUT 27MPH. WITH ALL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TRYING TO GET BY AND NOT SLOW DOWN, THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION OF ATTEMPTING TO CROSS 3 LANES OR MORE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHILE TRACTOR TRAILERS HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND HOPEFULLY SCREECH TO AN ALMOST STOPPED POSITION TO AVOID KILLING THE FAMILIES IN THE TOW VEHICLES. CHRYSLER HAS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM BUT HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND HAS INSISTED THAT THE VEHICLES ARE WORKING THE WAY THEY WERE DESIGNED BUT ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING WITHIN THE ADVERTISED SPECIFICATIONS. CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO CHANGE THE ADVERTISED SPECS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT MIGHT COST THEM MONEY, EVEN THOUGH MANY PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT RISK. CHRYSLER COULD EASILY PERFORM A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM, SAVING LIVES, BUT THERE WOULD BE A SMALL MONETARY COST TO CHRYSLER. *JS

Summary

I WAS ENTERING A PARKING GARAGE IN NYC. I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED TO BE MINDFUL OF OTHER PEDESTRIANS/VEHICLES IN GARAGE. MY CAR MADE A SUDDEN LOUD POPPING SOUND. I FELT THE CAR JOLT TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE WALL TO THE RIGHT OF ME. ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PARKING ATTENDANTS AND OTHER PEOPLE IN THE GARAGE COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED AND I COULDN'T EITHER. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MANHATTAN JEEP WHERE SERVICE REP SCOTT CARUSO IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED THAT THE CONTROL ARM SNAPPED OFF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL CAUSING THE WHEEL TO TURN COMPLETELY RIGHT. HE ENTERED THE ISSUE AS A WARRANTY CLAIM. MY OWN RESEARCH HAS TURNED UP OTHER STEERING ISSUES WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER THAT SOUND SIMILAR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AT SUCH A LOW SPEED AND IN A PARKING GARAGE. I AM SURE IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE FATALITIES. TO THIS DAY CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HONOR THE WARRANTY CLAIM AND MY CAR IS SITTING IN MANHATTAN JEEP UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. D'AMBROSIO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN DOWNINGTOWN, PA (WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE) HAS ALSO IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS A MECHANICAL WARRANTY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. CHRYSLER HAS NOT HONORED THE WARRANTY AND THE ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED.

I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE REAR CARGO DOOR USING AUTOMATIC MOTORIZED OPENING SYSTEM. THE DOOR BEGAN TO OPEN AND THEN STARTED TO GENERATE SOME LOUD, UNUSUAL SOUNDS; AS IF THE DOOR WAS UNDER SOME TYPE OF STRESS. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE DOOR THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD TOWARD ME. THE GLASS SHOT OUT ABOUT 6 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE. I RECEIVED GLASS CUTS ON MY FACE AND ARMS ALTHOUGH IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER. THEY BELIEVE THAT SOME FOREIGN OBJECT LODGED UNDER THE ROOF TOP REAR SPOILER. THE SPOILER IS ATTACHED TO THE WINDOW GLASS AND MOVES BACK WHEN THE DOOR OPENS. SINCE IT WAS 9 DEGREES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, I BELIEVE THAT ICE HAD FORMED UNDER THE SPOILER. I BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN OF THE REAR OPENING MECHANISM IS FLAWED. THE MOTOR SHOULD HAVE SENSED THAT IT WAS EXERTING AN UNDO AMOUNT OF FORCE IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DORR AND SHOULD HAVE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF OR DISABLED ITSELF, SIMILAR TO HOW GARAGE DOORS OPERATE WHEN THERE IS A RESTRICTION SENSED. CHRYSLER/JEEP WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE INCIDENT BUT REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INCIDENT AND THE FAULTY DESIGN. *TT

THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON SPORADICALLY/RANDOMLY FOR DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME AND THEN SHUTS OFF. WHEN TAKEN TO JEEP THEY FOUND THE ERROR CODE FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNING ON HOWEVER DIDN'T FIND ANY DEFECTS. SO THEY RESET THE COMPUTER TO CLEAR THE NOTE THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. THAT LASTED ABOUT 3 DAYS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AT A RANDOM TIME WHILE DRIVING. I WILL BE RETURNING BACK TO JEEP NEXT WEEK TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. CONCERN IS WHETHER OR NOT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY PROPERLY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR WHETHER IT WOULD DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T WHILE DRIVING. JEEP SAID THEY CHECKED FOR A BLOWN FUSE AND FOUND NONE. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE THEY CHECKED BUT MAYBE THERE'S A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. *TR

I CHECKED THE FUEL TANK CAP AND IT WAS TIGHT, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP IN HAMPTONROADS, VA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED OUT THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINED IT TO BE A # 6 CYLINDER, MISFIRE-COIL FAILURE. NONE WERE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSON STATED THAT IT WAS OK TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE LOCALLY BUT SUGGESTED IT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA TO DRIVE IT OUT OF TOWN, AS IT WOULD NOT GET VERY GOOD GAS MILEAGE! WE STARTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME, HOWEVER; APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AFTER WE DEPARTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE CAUGHT A FIRE AND BURNED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT/FRONT OF VEHICLE. WE, MY WIFE AND I ESCAPED WITHOUT PHYSICAL HARM, BUT HAD TO STAND BY AND WATCH IT BURN UNTIL THE FIREDEPARTMENT ARRIVED. *TR

THIS IS FOR A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO (< 6 MONTHS OLD) THE JEEP HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE ON A WARM DAY. I WENT TO GO OPEN THE TAILGATE, AND THE TAILGATE ONLY OPENED PART WAY BEFORE STOPPING. I THEN NUDGED THE DOOR OPEN SO IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY AND THE GLASS ON THE TAILGATE EXPLODED, CUTTING TWO OF THE PEOPLE STANDING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. AT THAT POINT THE TAILGATE OPENED ALL THE WAY AND THE SPOILER AT THE TOP CAME OFF. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SUBMITTED PICTURES TO CHRYSLER. BASED ON PICTURES ALONE, THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEREFORE DENIED MY CLAIM TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND REQUEST THAT THEY SEND SOMEONE OUT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR. THEY NEVER SENT ANYONE ELSE OUT. APPARENTLY THE DISTRICT MANAGER LOOKED AT THE PICTURES AND THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED AND MADE THE DECISION TO NOT COVER IT. CHRYSLER CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T OVERTURN THE DISTRICT MANAGER'S DECISION. THEY STRUNG ME ALONG FOR 2 WEEKS OVER THE PHONE TO TELL ME THIS. THERE IS REALLY NO OTHER REASON THAN A DEFECT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. *TR

HI, MY NAME IS [XXX]. ON JAN. 18, 2011 I PURCHASED A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE X PACKAGE FROM GRAND PRIX JEEP AND SUBURU, FOR MY DAUGHTER, FOR HER FIRST CAR. ON MARCH 12, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR STARTED TO REV HIGH AND THEN WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, I THOUGHT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT IT WAS SO SCARY. I HAD TO RIDE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE WAY HOME. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT, WHICH LOOKS LIKE A LIGHTENING BOLT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, SPOKE WITH ETHAN. I EXPLAINED TO THEM OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. HE SAID HE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND LET ME KNOW THE PROBLEM. I CALLED ON MONDAY, NO ONE LOOKED AT THE CAR, STALL. TUESDAY, I CALLED AND SPOKE TO ETHAN, HE SAID HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND HE HAD TO WAIT FOR CHRYSLER TO CALL HIM AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT TO DO, SCARY. MIRACULOUSLY WEDNESDAY HE SAID HE REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL THE SENSOR WAS BAD, AND THE CAR WAS FIXED. STILL TERRIFIED FROM TE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I TOOK THE CAR HOME. OM MARCH 24TH, 2011 IT WAS BEGINNING TO SNOW, I WAS STOPPED AT THE CORNER STOP SIGN WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION SKIDDING ONTO THE SIDEWALK JUST MISSING A PEDESTRIAN AND A UTILITY POLE. IF IT WAS MY DAUGHTER DRIVING, WHO IS A NEW DRIVER, I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY AS TO MISS THE PEDESTRIAN OR THE POLE. THIS TIME I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM I ALMOST DIED IN THE CAR, DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM, SUDDEN ACCELERATION, ENGINE AND THROTTLE LIGHT ON. THEY ACTUALLY HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. I DECLINED AND TOLD THEM TO COME AND GET IT. THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK THAT DAY TO PICK UP THE CAR. I CALLED , BOTH THE SALES AND SERVICE MANAGER AND TOLD THEM THAT I ALMOST DIED TWICE IN THIS CAR AND I DO NOT WANT IT BACK. THEY BOTH ASSURED ME THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CAR.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) LOW, SUDDENLY, ACCOMPANIED BY A CLUNK AND CHANGE IN VEHICLE SPEED FROM DOWNSHIFTING. LIGHTS CAME ONE IN THE DASH INDICATING LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL AND 4WD SERVICE NEEDED. THIS EVENT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING UNTIL WE MADE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE DOWNSHIFTING INTO 4WD LOW OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL ROADWAY OPERATING SPEEDS (APPROXIMATELY 20-40 MPH) IT CERTAINLY FELT LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE, COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT TRACTION CONTROL WAS LOST AS A RESULT. ONCE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUND THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND WHILE THE TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. DUE TO THIS NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE WE NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING IT, AND ENDED UP TRADING IT IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE SHOP.
