Rear Camera has been intermittent since I got the car new and dark image and not crystal clear . The lens is clean and it works intermittently.. the dealership said it would cost $1000.00 to replace the camera.. since there are recalls currently on other jeeps can you help add my vehicle in the mix.. I just spent over 5000 dollars to get my exhaust system fixed and they didn't even give me a loaner car . Bad cus service and this should be fixed.. a safety issue to me.. just like the recall..

While my wife was driving, there was a noticable whining sound that was followed by heat, burning smell and smoke coming into the cabin. After taking in for service, I was told that the problem was the alternator which would have caught fire or failed without warning increasing the risk of a crash. Upon learning it was the alternator I discovered that there were 2 separate recalls (P60 and & T36) for defective alternators for 2012-2014 vehicles. "The alternator diodes on your vehicle may experience a rapid failure. Variability in the failure mode ranges from no output, reduced output, and/or a fully shorted to ground condition. Depending on the alternator failure mode and timing, vehicle electrical system voltage may drop to critical levels, disabling systems such as Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Control Module (ECM), and/or the Central Body Controller (CBC). The driver will have limited or no detection of the alternator failing, which can result in vehicle shutdown while driving and/or an underhood electrical fire." Something terrible could have happened to my wife. Thankfully it did not. When I was told that my vehicle was not included because it is a 2011 I was angry and frustrated which is why I am reporting this to you. I am questioning why the NHTSA - would not include 2011 vehicles in the safety recall as the problem with the alternator is the same. Am I supposed to believe that the defective alternator in my vehicle is not the same as the ones that are in the 2012 when they are having the exact same problem? Along with the anger I feel because of the danger it posed to my family, I am equally frustrated that the repair is not covered under the costly repair because my VIN didn't not fall under the recall.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle lunged forward. The contact stated that the RPM light and an unknown warning light were illuminated when the crash occurred. The contact stated that when the vehicle lunged forward, the front bumper of the vehicle crashed into the rear bumper of the other vehicle. The contact's vehicle came to a stop once the impact was made and damage was sustained to the front bumper and the rear bumper of the other vehicle. The vehicle was driven to a dealer where the vehicle's front bumper was repaired. The dealer was unable to determine the failure. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The contact stated that the failure recurred while in the driveway. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The contact also stated that the mechanics informed her that the vehicle's alignment was off and as a result the tires would wear down ina a unusual way. There is also an issue with the key fob that causes the vehicle to think that the key isn't nearby and causes the alarm to go off.

There was a recall on my car for the brake booster water shield, water could get into the brake booster and cause corrosion and can cause the brakes to stop working. The recall was "fixed" about a month ago, but the brake booster still failed - my best guess is because water already got inside of the booster and already caused corrosion. My brakes began to fail while driving on the highway. When the brake booster blew out it also caused so much pressure that it blew out the master cylinder. The master cylinder is not part of the recall - according to JEEP No damage caused by the recall of the brake booster is under the recall and warranty EXCEPT the brake booster. The supposed fix itself here is faulty. This could have had a way worse outcome if I could not get my car to a stop. The other part of this is that the piece to fix this is on national back order with no estimated ship date.

My Jeep 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee was repaired under Recall P54 (NHTSA 14V-530) on October 20, 2016, which was supposed to fix a fuel-pump relay defect that could cause engine stalling. Despite the recall repair, stalling continued and worsened, forcing me to pay $573.56 for an independent repair on July 16, 2024 to restore safe operation. Jeep later issued Recall V62 (NHTSA 19V-813) in 2019, acknowledging that the earlier P54 recall fix was defective and could fail due to silicon contamination. I did not receive notice of V62 until late summer 2025, long after paying for repairs. Jeep denied my reimbursement request, citing lack of prior contact and the fact that repairs were done by an independent shop. This is unfair and contrary to federal recall reimbursement policy, since the defect was safety-related, the original recall fix failed, and Jeep admitted that V62 was issued to correct P54’s failure. I request that NHTSA review this case and ensure Stellantis/Jeep complies with recall reimbursement obligations under 49 CFR §573.13.

The engine oil filter housing cooler (part number is: 5184294AE) are made of dissimilar materials (plastic and aluminum) and with normal hot oil temperatures the materials expand and contract at different rates causing failure of the part and leaks. The leak causes loss of engine oil and engine coolant that can sudden engine damage while driving putting the driver and passengers at risk. This seems to affect not only this 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle with a 3.6 Liter engine, but almost all 3.6 Liter engines in other Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles.

There is a Customer satisfaction report P01 for timing chain and timing chain guides for 2009-2012 vehicles equipped with the 5.7L Hemi. My vehicle is now undrivable because of this issue and caused piston and valve damage. Because of my VIN not being listed for this recall I am now facing a $9500 engine replacement due to this issue.

Check engine light flashing! Engine misfire and valve grinding a groove in the cam shaft from cylinder #8. There is a service bulletin issued but no recall or warranty coverage for repair and replacement! They know that they have a problem but don’t want to pay for a recall to repair it! I still have all of the parts from the repair!

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalled while driving. While slowing down to make a turn, engine stalled out. Power steering and power brake disappeared. If someone was at the light while I was turning, they would have been hit. The first time (known) - was two days ago, with mileage approx 110,000. The second time was this morning, while at a stop. On checking online, this has been reported by other owners of the same make and model. This is a safety hazzard and should be a repairable manufacture recall. Fortunately it hasn't resulted in an accident - yet - with this vehicle.

Fuel System failure. Decelerating to a stop or turn and vehicle stalls out. Already had the recalls processed which took months of being on a list. PCM then fails. and because of chip shortage in 2022, couldnt get the car repaired. Finally get the part in and mechanic installs it only to find out the fan, because it sat so long failed too. So after 3 fans (this vehicle takes a special fan) we finally got the right one (mechanic) and he installed it. Got car back and we had another stall out after 4 days of having the car returned. Called Chrysler Recall and escalated to a technician. The stall happens when you are actively driving it.

I received notice of the V62 Fuel Pump Relay recall more than a year ago. It sounds like this is a serious safety issue, especially since I do much hwy. driving, & the Jeep could stall at any time. The local dealership, Brubaker @ 1020 Lititz Ave, Lancaster PA 17602 continues to tell me they can't get the part. Can you help me resolve this serious safety issue ?

This is a widespread complaint as it happens to every Jeep with leather dashboards. The leather starts to wrinkle & shrink, releasing it from the dashboard mount itself on my 2011Grand Cherokee Overland, which started in 2014. I tried to no avail to get Jeep to repair it under warranty, they denied it every time. In January 2020 I complained on Twitter about it & tagged Jeep in it, Jeep Cares contacted me and after a few messages back & forth, me providing pictures and my VIN, they told me I was entitled to a "X81" Extended Warranty for the leather to be replaced at no cost. I contacted dealer as they suggested & they told me to bring it in so they could see it & order replacement leather. We were in the middle of a World Wide Pandemic so I have waited to have that & many other issues fixed. When I went to dealership yesterday, I was told the X81 expired in June 2020, 6 months after I was told of it. I was NEVER told of any expiration period or I would have taken it in, I waited because of the Pandemic. EVERY leather dash by Jeep/Chrysler does the same thing as mine, they need to be responsible and cover it. I don't know the validity of it, but I've read this can cause premature passenger air bag deployment, that scares me.

THIS SAFETY CONCERN CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT START DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP STOPPAGE, AN ENGINE STALL WHILE STOPPED AND/OR WHILE MOVING, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND I. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3 OCCASIONS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY STOPPAGE WITH NO LONG TERM FIXES. I HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO TURN TO AND ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

My vehicle has been leaking transmission fluid, this has caused shifting problems as well as ac problems i have done hours of research and its seems to be a common problem with 2011 jeep cherokee and i feel this need to be investigated! From what Ive read there seems to be welding issues and thats where the leaks are at. I have taken my vehicle for an inspection and the ac condensor needs to be replaced. I have taken for a second opinion and the same was discovered. After $750.00 later! I have grandchildren that i drive in this vehicle and am concerned about their safety as well as mine.

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.

HELLO NHTSA TEAM, I AM WRITING TO YOU TO ASK THAT ADDITIONAL VIN NUMBERS BE INCLUDED IN AN EXISTING RECALL. THE EXISTING RECALL IS P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 FOR ALTERNATOR FAILURE. OUR FAMILY HAS TWO 2011 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEES AND THE ALTERNATORS HAVE FAILED IN BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES PREMATURELY. CAN YOU PLEASE INCLUDE VIN [XXX] INTO THE RECALL. THE ALTERNATOR IN BOTH OF OUR 2011 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEES, THE 160 AMP UNIT WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN MAKING A VERY LOUD WHINING SOUND THAT CAN BE HEARD LOUDLY FROM WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN THE ENGINE BAY. WHEN THE FAILURE ON THE ALTERNATOR OCCURS IT IS VERY SUDDEN, ONE DAY IT IS WORKING PROPERLY THE VERY NEXT DAY IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME IN DISCUSSION ALREADY WITH THE FCA DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER. FCA AT CHRYSLER IS INDICATING TO US THAT OUR VEHICLES HAVE ALL OF THE MATCHING "SPECIFICATIONS" TO MEET THE CRITERIA WITHIN THE EXISTING RECALL BUT OUR VIN NUMBERS ARE NOT INCLUDED, THEREFORE THEY CANNOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE FCA CONTINUALLY TELLS US THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE WHY OUR VEHICLES ARE NOT INCLUDED AS ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS ON THEIR END APPEAR TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL FOR THE FAILED ALTERNATOR. THE ISSUE WHEN IT OCCURS IS VERY RAPID, WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONE DAY, NO ISSUE, AND THEN THE VERY NEXT DAY WHEN WE START THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY THERE IS THE TELL-TAIL LOUD WHINING SOUND STEMMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND THE NOISE INCREASES IN DECIBELS AS THE RPM INCREASE. PLEASE INCLUDE VIN [XXX] IN THE EXISTING RECALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 A LOUD BUZZING NOISE IS CREATED AS RESULT OF POOR SEALING BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS AND THE FLEXIBLE SEAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN TAPE WAS APPLIED ACROSS THE SEAL AT THE LOWER WINDSHIELD THE NOISE WAS ELIMINATED. ON NEWER MODELS OF THE SAME STYLE THE SEAL HAS BEEN REDESIGNED.

MY CAR SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START AND KEEPS CRANKING. BUT THE MOST DANGEROUS IS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO JEEP SERVICE BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND WHAT CAUSES THE ISSUES. IT KEEPS STALLING. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY AND ALL THE TIME BUT IT'S HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.

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.

THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WITH P54 (FUEL PUMP RELAY). FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT TOWING MY BOAT. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE SPANNED MANY YEARS AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING AND DECELERATION THE JEEP SHUTS OFF. NO LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER RUNNING. THE FIRST CLUE IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE MILES OF DRIVING. THE JEEP STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND THEN 99% OF THE TIME WON'T STALL AGAIN FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THIS IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT.

The vehicle randomly shuts off as I’m driving. It happened about a month ago on a very busy highway and then again today on a major street in my hometown. I’ve taken it to the shop twice and they cannot duplicate the issue or find a problem with it. I’m nervous it’s going to shut off at the wrong time and something bad happen. I don’t know what to do.
Sep 12, 2023
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.

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.

SUSPENSION

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 MPH, it lost automotive power. The contact turned on the hazard lights. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle stalled but was able to be restarted. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed her the vehicle began to shake and the failure was due to the tip-in. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the service air suspension message was displayed. The front end of the vehicle was sitting on the tires. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

My Jeep's air suspension system (Quadra lift) has failed 4 times within the past year. At the beginning, the only signs there was anything wrong was that it took the vehicle several minutes to raise from the "park" setting and it would sit extremely low when parked for long periods of time. Upon bringing it to a Jeep dealer in October 2021, they informed me the front air suspension lines had a leak and needed to be replaced. A month later, I received an error message that the air suspension system needed immediate repair, at which point we discovered the compressor and relay failed and needed replacement. I was told the car was inoperable in this condition, but they could set the ride height and close the system and it would be driveable. I proceeded to drive the car in this condition for 5 months and ~5,000 miles while we waited for a backordered part to come in. Upon bringing the car into a different dealer after 5 months I was informed it was EXTREMELY dangerous to drive it in this condition (no compressor or relay, static system set at ride height). I was not told why it was dangerous nor why another dealer thought it was okay. The dealer fixed the compressor and relay and within a month the air suspension system started to show similar signs as before where the car was sagging in park and taking a long time to raise, but this time there were absolutely no warning signs or error messages with the car. I brought it in for repair a 4th time and was told the front air shocks and lines had severe leaks, rendering the car inoperable and dangerous to operate in this condition. Considering the frequency in failures and need for repairs coupled with the lack of warnings or error messages I believe this to be a safety risk. There may be many other drivers of Jeeps with the Quadra lift system driving with similar issues and no warnings that could be potentially dangerous.

THE AIR SUSPENSION - SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION LIGHT CAME ON, THE AIR SUSPENSION THEN LOWERED THE VEHICLE TO WELL BELOW NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED AND HAD THE COMPRESSOR REPLACED. 3 WEEKS LATER NOW THERE IS A MODULE AND NIGHT SENSOR SUPPOSEDLY NEEDING TO BE FIXED. NO EXTENDED WARRANTIES COVER THIS AS IT'S AN "AIR SUSPENSION" AND NOT A REGULAR SUSPENSION ACCORDING TO THEIR PAPERWORK. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR AIR SUSPENSION IN JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE THAT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE TIRES COULD BE BLOWN DUE TO THE LOWERED STATE OF VEHICLE AND THE FRONT TIRES CAMING OUT.

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.

IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A SPEED ZONE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. THE VEHICLE GIVES NO WARNING THAT IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER DID SOME DIAGNOSTICS, BUT FOUND NOTHING. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO THE 5.7 ENGINES.

My vehicles Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) was rewired at a dealership as part of a manufacturer recall. Ever since this has been "rewired" I have had problems with the car shutting off while driving, and as a result, a loss of power steering and power brakes. I notified the dealership, Rentschler Chrysler of Slatington, PA, and they state that everything looks ok with the wiring and that a new TIPM was not part of the recall. This issue has been occurring with my Jeep (2011 Grand Cherokee Laredo) since 2013, two years after I purchased the car brand new. I want to know why Chrysler was not ordered to replace the TIPM with a new part? This has been happening to my car frequently and I have known other people with Jeep, Ram, and Durango problems with stalling while driving.

2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING, ENGINE CONTROL AND BRAKING ALL BECOME DIFFICULT TO USE. HAPPENING WHILE TURNING CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO VEER INTO THE GUARD RAILS, IF THEY ARE PRESENT, OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IF TURNING AWAY FROM TRAFFIC IS TOO DIFFICULT. LUCKILY, IN THE MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TURNING RIGHT, EITHER ONTO THE HIGHWAY ONRAMP OR INTO A GAS STATION. THE TIMES INTO THE GAS STATION, SENT ME OVER THE CURB AND GRASS, BARELY MISSING THE PUMPS. THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF AN ERROR ON THE DASH. ALL RADIO, LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK FINE. ONCE YOU ARE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, IT MUST BE PUT INTO PARK AND THE PUSH BUTTON START RE-IGNITED. IT TERRIFIED MY FAMILY.

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.

THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS LISTED ON YOUR SITE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY A MANDATORY RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED.

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.

10/10/2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 320 PM CDT, I WAS DRIVING I35 SOUTH BETWEEN DULUTH MN AND MINNEAPOLIS MN. SMOKE STARTED BILLOWING OUT OF THE HEADLINER, RH SIDE ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD/SUN VISOR.

GRABBED THE OWNERS MANUAL , LOCATED THE FUSE FOR COURTESY LIGHTS UNDER THE HOOD, PULLED THE 15 AMP FUSE (WHICH HAD NOT BLOWN). REMOVED THE SUN VISOR AND VANITY LIGHT, AND ASSOCIATED WIRING. FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED AT THAT POINT. REMOVED THE VISOR AND WIRING, FOUND A BURNED CONNECTOR AND SMOLDERING WIRING. GRABBED A SIDE CUTTER AND TERMINATED THE WIRING TO THE LIGHTED VANITY LIGHT, AFTER REMOVING THE CENTER UPPER MAP LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS RIGHT HAND (THREE FINGERS).

THE JEEP HAS ONLY 43,880 MILES WHEN I WENT TO THE JEEP DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1602 PLUS TAX. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD AND SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE . THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE PART.

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

I TOOK THE PART TO MY DEALER, AND HE SAID, THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MAKERS OF JEEP, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK AS OF YET. THIS IS A FAULTY PART, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *TR

When I went out to my car the morning of [XXX], 2024, I noticed that the passenger headrest was disconnected from the back and had been deployed without reason overnight. There was no accident or contact with the car it just did it on it's own. Luckily no one was in the car so there was no injury caused. I was advised by the local Jerry Ulm Jeep dealership in Tampa that their was an extended warranty for this issue that expired in 2021. I did not receive any correspondence so this was the first time hearing of this issue. From looking online it looks like it is a very widespread safety issue. I contacted Jeep directly to request approval for reimbursement before getting the car repaired but was denied. As mentioned, this problem occurred out of nowhere and is clearly due to faulty manufacturing and could have caused serious injury if someone was in the passengers seat. I would like for Jeep to be held accountable for this and to be reimbursed for the associated cost to get this fixed.

SUV stalls when coming to a stop while making a right turn or while stopping at a light. Power steering and brakes quit working. There are no diagnostic codes thrown for the dealer to check into. This occurs at least three to four times a week. I only commute 4 miles a day. Fortunately everytime this occurs I have been able to come to a stop and no other cars have been near. But if a car was on the street I am turning onto I would have hit their car. The dealer has replaced a few things that could possibly be wrong but the issue does not give diagnostic code to investigate. This is a known issue with Chrysler for this year model and several other years but my Jeep Grand cherokee has no recalls for it.

The Horn has stopped working and it appears to be the Clock Spring. This is a safety hazard as it can cause the airbags to engage randomly or NOT engage in the case of a crash.

I am aware that there have been Clock Spring recalls on other models of Jeeps, but not on this one.

Greetings, after 3 dealership attempts to correct the TIPM - NHTSA 19V813000 recall, my Jeep still stalled 4 times at highway speeds. I narrowly averted being rearended several times. I am terrified to drive the vehicle! I have yet another dealership appointment Friday, January 12, 2024 to correct the issue. Previous visits could not reproduce the problem or show any code errors. There were no warnings at all during these malfunctions, only the loss of braking and power steering did I realize the vehicle had stalled. Are there any remedies afforded to me at this point from Chrysler? The vehicle has only 124,000 miles. I've been extremely lucky that I haven't crashed or injured another party to date, but I fear it could happen at any time since this is my only transportation to and from work.

When you turn a corner the engine shuts off. All the electronics still work (like radio, and lights) but you have no power stearing it is manual. You have to coast to the side of the road and put the truck in park and restart it. This has been recalled and fixed a few times and it is still happening and Jeep will not do anything to fix the problem. They want to duplicate the issue but you can not. This happens whenever it wants to - there is no rhyme or reason why it happens and you cannot duplicate it. I've taken notes every time it happens, (gas gage at where, weather, time of day, where I was going, how long I drove the truck) nothing matters, it just happens when it happens. So far now it is happening at least 1 time a month since December 2021. And I have called Jeep every time and reported the incident. I have a case number but they will not fix it or send out a new recall.

FOR THE LAST MONTH THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND IN SOME CASES WOULD NOT START. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM IN THE MODEL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DECEMBER. I USE THE CAR DAILY AND FOR LONG TRIP AND FEAR IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

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 (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

I HAVE RECEIVED 3 RECALL NOTICES REGARDING MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (NHTSA 14V154, 14V530 AND 14V391). 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

I'VE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ON A JEEP I PURCHASE LAST FEBRUARY (USED) ON RECALLS P14, P36 AND P54. I CONTINUOUSLY CALL JEEP TO HAVE THESE ISSUES REPAIRED AND AM TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, JEEP HASN'T SHIPPED OR THEY JUST HAVE TOO MANY RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY RECALLS FIXED BEFORE I DO HAVE A CRASH?? I AM CONCERNED. *TR

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

My vehicle in the last 2 days has randomly shutoff completely while driving on the highway. I was able to place in neutral, then restart the vehicle thank goodness without being rear-ended or a collision. The vehicle has been repaired before (NHTSA Campaign ID: 19V813000) and (Chrysler's recall number V62). The vehicle at this point I fear is too dangerous to drive. I am going to have the car towed to the dealership in hopes of reinstalling the fuel pump relay hack. There are many of the same complaints online from other drivers with the same vehicle. Something else needs to be done about this soon before someone gets killed.

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!

THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND THE TIPM ALSO. THERE IS NO CHARGING LIGHT IN THE DASH SO IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW THERE WERE A PROBLEM SINCE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE ENGINE STALL. AFTER THAT, THERE WERE NO LIGHT, NO POWER BRAKE AND THE CAR WON'T START ANYMORE. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR ( WHICH IS COST 1000 EACH.) THE ALTERNATOR DO NOT CHARGE BECAUSE THE TIPM FAILED TOO. OVERALL, IT COST 2200$ TO REPAIR AND I LOST MY CAR FOR 4 WEEKS ! *TR

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

"TAKATA RECALL" A/A SYSTEM NEVER WORK PROPERLY, I AM A PERSON WHO DON'T LIKE TO USE IT WHERE EVER I DRIVE WITH THAT SYSTEM TURNED ON. JUST WHEN REALLY LOWER OR HIGHT TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING (WINTER AND SUMMER), SO; BUT WHEN I TRIED TO USED IT HAD TO WAIT A LOT AND DIDN'T GET IT COMPLETELY OR PROPERLY JUST PARTIALY WORKED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SUMMER TIRED OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND VISITED SOME TECH TO FIX IT THEY DID NOT WANT TO WORK ON THIS KIND OF ISSUE ANY MORE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME RECOMMEND SOME JEEP DEALER MAKE THE WORK AND GET WORKING SYSTEM PROPERLY WITH NOT CHARGE AS THOSE TECH SAID IT. THANKS

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.

THE PROBLEM WE HAD WAS GENERALLY WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT OVER SEVERAL WEEKS, SEEMING TO BE MORE OF A PROBLEM IN COLDER WEATHER. THE ENGINE SPUN BUT WOULD NOT START. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ENGINE ATTEMPTED TO START, SOMETIMES CRANKING CONTINUOUSLY, UNTIL IT TIMED OUT WITHOUT STARTING. 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

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.

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.

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.

I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING 25 MPH AND STARTED TO SLOW UP BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHING A CURVE BUT INSTEAD OF IT SLOWING DOWN IT SPED UP TO 35MPH WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE. THANK GOD NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. TWO WEEKS LATER MY HUSBAND STATED THAT WHEN HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SAME EXACT THEN HAPPENED TO HIM. AT THAT TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO GILMAN CHRYSLER AND JEEP IN HOUSTON TX WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM (8/10/14). THEY CLAIM THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND AND I KEPT EXPLAINING TO THE SERVICE GUY THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FOR AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE RESOLVED. THE SERVICE GUY STATED THAT THEY DID ALL THEY COULD BUT THEY WILL KEEP OUR INFORMATION ON FILE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS SITUATION. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE THREE CHILDREN IN WHICH ARE IN THIS VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE GILMAN CHRYSLER WOULD STATE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART OR THEY DON'T SEE A RECALL AT THIS TIME.

Since I bought it at the dealership the car hesitates to start, I took it several times and they couldn't find the fault, they said it could be a problem with the battery so I changed it and it kept doing the same thing. thing, they told me what the tank was. of gasoline I took it to a Nhtsa office and they told me that they would change the part, over time I had the same problem again but now a year has passed and the car no longer starts, from the beginning they have not helped me solve the problem problem. problem problem that comes from the factory.

This vehicle stops while driving. It happens when it comes to a stop or slow down. Will turn off. In some instances I have lost my power brakes. This has been happening since November of 2022. The dealership has replaced the recall part, the fuel pump relay. Still happens. They thought it could be low transmission fuel. No, still happened. They have driven it over 100 miles and it wouldn’t replicate for them so they say they cannot fix it because there is no check engine light on. This is a safety hazard.

The vehicle randomly stalls without warning while driving, causing the power steering and brakes to fail. It occurs randomly every 7-14 days, usually when it's first driven for the day and usually within the first 5-10 miles when slowing down to make a turn. Occasionally it will occur at a stop sign and a few times it has occurred in traffic. It can be restarted by putting it in Neutral or Park. It has been doing this ever since I purchased the vehicle in 2017 with 68,000 miles on it. It now has 195,000 miles and the stalling has become more frequent. I hoped the recall for the fuel relay would fix it, but it has not. I have read that it is a TIPM problem. There are several hundred similar complaints on the NHTSA website. The problem is discussed in Jeep forums on the web. This is a serious safety issue because of potential rear-end collisions. Why won't Jeep or NHTSA address it?

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??

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A TRADITIONAL TWO LANE COUNTRY ROAD. AS I APPROACHED A LEFT HANDED TURN, I PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL AND INSTANTANEOUSLY LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS. THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND DROVE OFF THE ROAD INTO A SMALL GRASS FIELD. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND REALIZED THE TACHOMETER SHOWED 0 RPM INDICATING THE ENGINE HAD STALLED. AT FIRST, I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SHIFTER WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO HESITATION ONCE THE SHIFTER WAS MOVED TO PARK. THE P54 RECALL HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN COMPLETED. FCA HAS BEEN INFORMED AND THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A JEEP DEALER. THE RECALL FOR V62 IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT AND THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE RECEIVED THE TEMPORARY INTERIM REPAIR. I HAVE DECIDED TO PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL FCA CAN REASSURE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

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

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!
Jan 13, 2020
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND (EXTREME FORCE IS NEEDED TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL), WHICH DELAYS BRAKING TIME/DISTANCE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS IS HAPPENING SPECIFICALLY WHEN TRYING TO DISENGAGE FROM CRUISE CONTROL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE CAR HAD A BREAK BOOSTER RECALL IN 2017 AND THIS REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AT THAT TIME.
Aug 01, 2018
AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET, WHILE IN CRUSE, BRAKE APPLY AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT ANY VEHICLE BRAKING IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO AT TIMES WHILE IN MOTION, CRUSE SYSTEM DO NOT TAKE FOR WEEKS, THEN WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION, I WOULD SET IT AND IT WORKS AS IT SHOULD.
Oct 24, 2017
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

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

STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES

Wife was driving car off the highway, around a rightward curving offramp, and she noticed that the steering was handling differently, as if the power steering was off, and the brakes were not responding normally either. She could not stop the car where she intended to and was lucky that there was not cross traffic in the immediate intersection. No lights on the dash were lit up. She turned the car off and on again, and the steering and braking was normal again. We brought it to a trusted independent mechanic and described the issue, and they could not reproduce the issue but looked it up and found multiple reports of this occurring with 2010s Grand Cherokees. They were very concerned about the safety of the car and recommended bringing it to a dealer. One local dealer wanted $1000 to begin diagnosing. The other dealer charged $250 to look around but could not find anything that would explain loss of steering and brakes. We do not feel safe driving the car, as we live in a busy urban setting and any loss of control of the car would likely mean injuring or killing one of our neighbors.

While trying to make a turn the power steering and brakes did not work. The vehicle did not stall. After stopping I shut the vehicle off and restarted it and it was working, This happened 3 times in about 2 weeks. I have the vehicle in to the dealer trying to find the problem.

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

Carbon like smell entering cabin, engine stalling, and check engine light on. Ginn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Covington Georgia stated they performed the recall repairs for the fuel relay wiring harness in June 2022 and the brake booster recall fix last week. The break booster recall is still showing unrepaired, and the stalling, fumes entering the inside of the Jeep is worse. The Jeep did not have a check engine light show up until after it left the CDJR service center. Due to dispute with the dealership that sold the vehicle putting an extended warranty in the paperwork, that I was not provided in writing yet its cost was added to the Jeep, the CDJR service center claimed the Jeep required $5700 worth of work to its HEMI V8 5.7L engine but they could not begin the work until I consented to the warranty providers $450.00 fee to teardown the engine for further diagnostics. I could not consent to something I was not provided it writing, so the Ginn CDJR refused to move forward and claimed they performed the last recall repair. They have refused to provide repair records and invoices. They also stated the Jeep is "driveable" when notifying me they would not fix it. Three weeks prior, as it was in their service center for three weeks, the service center instructed me not to drive it.

Malfunction of the engine RPM governor, adaptive cruise control, or Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), or some combination of all of the above. On June 7-9, 2022, spontaneous high engine RPM occurred, which resulted in vehicle speeds that were above urban speed limits unless heavy braking pressure was applied. Additionally, on rural highways, the speed setting for the adaptive cruise control was exceeded without driver input. This also required manual breaking in order to control speed. During this situation, the “driver override “ message would appear although no accelerator pedal pressure was being applied. Additionally, the ETC warning light would randomly light up and then clear. When the vehicle was stopped and placed in park, the engine would rev to approximately 4000-5000 RPM. Especially in congested traffic conditions, this runaway engine RPM condition is a terrifying situation. This malfunction has occurred on this vehicle before, and to a similar extent. However, the Jeep dealer could find no underlying cause. The vehicle will also occasionally operate at a higher than normal RPM, but not to the extent described here. I do have an appointment with my local Jeep dealer for June 21. I will describe the issue with them in detail. My purpose for entering this report is to add my issue to any potential list of other Jeep owners who may have reported a similar issue.

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.

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

I CANNOT USE THE TELEPHONE HANDS FREE CONTROLS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A PHONE CALL... 2. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. REGARDLESS OF WHAT CAR DOOR IS OPENED 3.

I TRIED PRESSING THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON ON THE DASH BOARD PANEL ALONGSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL HEATER BUTTON. BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. 4. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF (HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUSE IN ORDER TO STOP THE WIPERS). I TRIED SQUIRTING THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID --- BUT IT WILL NOT WORK. MY REAR WINDOW WIPER WILL NOT TURN ON.... EVEN THOUGH I TRIED TO TURN IT ON SEVERAL TIMES. 5. I HAVE NO TURN SIGNALS. THEY WOULD NOT COME ON NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I FLIPPED THE LEVER UP OR DOWN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE 6. MY HORN DOES NOT WORK - MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE 7. MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT GO TO HIGH BEAM EVEN THOUGH THE DIAL IS SET TO AUTO. NOT TO MENTION MY WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (LEAKS LOTS OF WATER WHEN RAINING) REPLACED --- STEERING CONTROL MODULE (PART # 1HE80HL9AF) - ACCORDING TO NORTHWEST JEEP IN BEAVERTON OREGON THAT WAS THE ISSUE -NOT DID NOT FIX A SINGLE ISSUE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (PART # 68244852AA) - ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS PART ALSO NEEDS REPLACED (SEEMS THAT PART OF TH TIPM WAS REPLACED - THE WHOLE UNIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED.)

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

I have gone back and forth to the dealership since I purchased my Jeep. It’s been a horrific time dealing with all of the issues. Seatbelt sensor’s, windshield sensor, fuel pump problem over and over. I’m alive by the grace of God, while on the freeway the Jeep latterly stop. Completely died on me. Nothing to warned me simply shut off. For the longest all I got from the dealership was no replacement was available. Finally in December 2021 it was replaced. But right after I drove off the lot the air bag light came on, I returned to the service department and once the service technician turned on the Jeep- nothing came on. So I went home a few weeks later the same thing on and then off . It would stay on for a couple of days then off. Now it’s on for months and off for about a day two the most. The lights on the dashboard are continuous flickering on and off. I’m so tired of all of the problems this vehicle has it’s ridiculous. I need some one to please look into this. I have spent over $5000.00 dollars on diagnostic testing and repairs from extra work other then the normal expense’s. I’m at the end of my patience with this.

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

Recall 14V5300 - replacing fuel pump relay to prevent vehicle not starting and stalling was performed in November 2021. It has not solved the problem. Th Grand Cherokee still does the same thing. I replaced the relay that was replaced in the recall. No help. Chrysler Corp. did not fix the problem. A new recall needs to happen. This Grand Cherokee has stalled slowing down to come to a stop and when slowing down to turn at an intersection. This is very dangerous. It could cause an accident at the intersection. This recall needs to be revisited or a new recall needs to happen to solve this problem. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

STARTED HAVING A TRANSMISSION SLIP IN 2ND GEAR REPAIR SHOP LOOKED THINGS OVER AND SAID TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A LITTLE LOW AND I WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE AC CONDENSER GOING BAD. 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.

THE TRANSMISSION/AC COOLANT CONDENSER IS LEAKING. BIG PROBLEM FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION AND AC UNIT.

I LET OFF THE GAS THINKING THE JEEP WOULD SLOW, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE BY BRAKING (OBVIOUSLY). HOWEVER, I WAS STILL UNABLE TO GO FASTER THAN APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TWICE BEFORE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS TOLD THE OIL PUMP WAS STUCK ON LOW (?) THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS.

PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE CURRENT RECALL ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND MY JEEP LOST COMPLETE POWER. I STARTED TO PANIC BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO CONTROL MY JEEP. LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE OUTSIDE LANE AND JUST COASTED TO A STOP. THEN, I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHILE I CALLED MY WIFE TO LET HER KNOW SHE WOULD NEED TO COME GET ME. THEN, I WENT TO SEE IF MY JEEP WOULD DRIVE ONE MORE TIME AND IT DROVE OFF JUST FINE. THEN, WHEN I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO ASK THEM TO FIX MY JEEP DUE TOT HE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS AND WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY COME IN. HOWEVER, NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ON AS WELL AS MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. I ALSO INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I PUSH ON MY BRAKES IT WILL FEEL AS IF I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. WHEN I LOOK BEHIND ME THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT WOULD INDICATE I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED.

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.

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

RECENTLY HAVING ISSUES WHILE TRYING TO START MY 2011 JEEP GC. THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. IN DOING RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT ONLY COSTLY, BUT ON BO FOR A UNDISCLOSED TIME FRAME. *TR

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

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the blower fan had become defective; as a result, the defroster failed to operate as needed. The contact initially took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who could not diagnose the failure. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the relay had burned out causing the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) to fail. The contact was then given an estimate for the repair of the fan, the relay, and the TIPM. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was leaving home from work and my car started perfectly fine and I drove like 50ft and the car completely shut down. I tried to jump it car to car but it was draining the other car batteries so I got a tow truck to come out and it jumped the car enough to get it in neutral and then it cut off. I changed the battery and alternator and It cuts on them after about 5-10 min it completely cuts off and won’t turn back on again. Lights on the dashboard pop up too before it cuts off.

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.

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.

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.

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!

THIS JEEP ENGINE FAILED / STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TWICE ON A TURN, AND ALMOST CAUSE TWO REAR ENDS BY FAILING IN MID TRAFFIC, IN FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SINCE 2014. THE VEHICLE ENGINE CUTS OUT, WHICH CAUSES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON VARIOUS MAIN STREETS, WHEN THIS OCCURRED. NAPERVILLE JEEP DEALERSHIP (WHERE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED) HAS ALSO MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE PER THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, HAS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US CONFIDENT THE PROBLEM WAS 'RESOLVED' OR NON-EXISTENT. ATTACHED IS THE VEHICLE RECALL AND REPLACEMENT RECORD. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS HAS OCCURRED TO OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES BEFORE AND THE TYPICAL SOLUTION IS REPLACING THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THIS VEHICLE'S TIPM WAS 'REPAIRED' SEPT 3, 2014.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

MY JEEP FAILED TO START ON THE FIRST 4 ATTEMPTS. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MANY TIMES IT HAS FAILED TO START. MY SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT NEEDS A TIPM, TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND THAT THEY ARE KNOW BY JEEP TO BE DEFECTIVE AND JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE BEFORE THERE ARE ANYMORE ACCIDENTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT WILL TAKE WEEKS FOR A REPLACEMENT TIPM DUE TO THE DEMAND OF THE BAD ONES BEING REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS AROUND A $1300 REPAIR. I BOUGHT A EXTRA 5 YEARS WARRANTY AND NOW NEED TO GET A RENTAL AND HAVE IT FIXED BEFORE IT LEAVES ME STRANDED ALONG THE ROAD. *TR

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

TRAVELING AT ABOUT 68 MPH WITH SPEED CONTROL ENGAGED, AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES I NOTICED A DECLINING VEHICLE SPEED & STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO RE ENGAGE SPEED CONTROL, I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I DEPRESSED THE DASH BOARD STABILITY CONTROL BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED & THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WAS OFF. WE RESUMED OUR TRIP USING SPEED CONTROL WITH FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, BUT ONLY WITH SPEED CONTROL ENGAGED. ON A RECENT TRIP AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES @ 65 - 70 MPH WITH SPEED CONTROL ENGAGED THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AND SAME CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN. I THEN CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AT THE SAME SPEED WITHOUT SPEED CONTROL AND FURTHER INCIDENT. SINCE THEN A TECHNICIAN HAS ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITHOUT RESULTS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WILL BE UNABLE TO RESOLVE UNTIL A FULL FAILURE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

PURCHASED 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND USED IN SUMMER OF 2012. 3RD JEEP AND HAVE STAYED WITH JEEP BECAUSE FELT THEY WERE A SAFE RELIABLE CAR. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE THE CAR WOULD SOUND LIKE IT WAS "COMPUTING" NEAR THE ENGINE--WHILE OFF AND KEY NOT NEAR CAR. TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. ALARM STARTED TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON, DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING (NOT BULB) AND STARTED WORKING A FEW DAYS LATER ON ITS OWN. CAR NO START OR HARD START SEVERAL TIMES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON AND OFF, KEY NOT FOUND, ETC. 5/19/14 EXITING HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 75 MPH (59,000 MILES) BRAKES DON'T WORK. CAR SLOWS BUT WON'T STOP. NO LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR BRAKE PROBLEM. IT WAS PETRIFYING. CALLED DEALER IN MORNING AND THEY INDICATED NOT WARRANTY AND NOT RECALL SO ORDERED BRAKE BOOSTER FROM DEALER AND REPLACED. WAS WITHOUT VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. 5/28/14 DRIVING APPROX. 75 ON HIGHWAY--DASH LIGHTS FLASH, CAR SHAKES AND SHUDDERS UNCONTROLLABLY, SCREEN READS SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND ETC CODE. EXIT HIGHWAY CAR HAS NO SUSPENSION. STOP MAKE PHONE CALL AND RESTART CAR AND NO LIGHTS, WARNINGS, AND SUSPENSION BACK. DRIVING 35 MPH ON BUSY CITY STREET (IN FRONT OF SCHOOL) CAR DASH FLASHES AND GOES BLACK--A RED LIGHTNING BOLT APPEARS AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO BRAKES, POWER STEERING, HAZARD LIGHTS, SUSPENSION, ETC. I WAS TERRIFIED! PUSHED DOWN ACCELERATOR AND CAR STARTS BACK UP (SIMILAR TO DEPRESSING GAS PEDDLE ON GOLF CART). TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A BRAKE SENSOR AND THE SUSPENSION WORKED. SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. TIPM MUST BE THE CAUSE BASED ON 1000S OF OWNERS COMMENT. FILED COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER TODAY. FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER CARS, PEOPLE, ETC. DRIVE OVER 100 MILES PER DAY ON HIGHWAY. CAN'T OBTAIN TIPM PART.

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 HIT HIS DRIVER SIDE AREA AND MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS SMASHED, BUMPER TORN OFF, FLUID LEAKING FROM THE CAR. IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I HAD MY BABY IN THE CAR SEAT IN THE BACK BUT HE WAS FINE. 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.

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.

THE ONLY DISPLAY ON THE SASH WAS THE RADIO/NAVIGATION DISPLAY AND THE CENTER CONSOLE TEXT INDICATING HOW TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THE START BUTTON, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. WHEN SHE SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH, SHE PUSHED THE TRANSMISSION LEVER HARD INTO PARK, HOPING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE WAS NOT COMMUNICATING CORRECTLY WITH THE OTHER MODULES ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY. AN UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON THE MODULES, INCLUDING THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE. HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. ON JANUARY 9, 2013, A SIMILAR SYMPTOM OCCURRED AGAIN. WHEN THE CONSUMER PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON, THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT IT ONLY LASTED FOR A MOMENT. IT THEN SHUT DOWN AND THE CENTER CONSOLE TEXT DISPLAYED ON HOW TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER THEN PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THE PUSH BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN, BUT SHUT DOWN MINUTES LATER.

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

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.

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

ON 11/25/2011 AS WE WERE GOING OUT OF TOWN THE VEHICLE'S DIAGNOSTIC (OBD II) SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED, WITH A SYMBOL "MIL" INDICATING A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT. 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

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.
