ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
236 complaints
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The vehicle’s ECM or TIPM system appears to be malfunctioning, causing intermittent no-start conditions. The engine fails to turn over even though the starter clicks, and all electrical systems are functional. The issue is temporarily resolved by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, suggesting a logic fault in the ECM or TIPM. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle fails to start without warning, potentially leaving occupants stranded without transportation. This can be dangerous in remote areas, severe weather, or emergency situations. A failure like this undermines confidence in the vehicle’s reliability and safe operation. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The issue has been observed and temporarily resolved by resetting the battery. Research shows this is a known issue in similar Jeep models, referenced in TSB 08-007-14. The symptoms align exactly, but Jeep denies coverage because the VIN is not in the affected range. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet inspected by the manufacturer or third parties, though Chrysler/Jeep was contacted. They acknowledged similar issues exist but declined to assist based on VIN exclusion. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. The engine wouldn’t crank, and diagnostic code P0113 (Intake Air Temp Sensor Circuit High Input) appeared. The vehicle was stationary when the issue occurred and has had prior history of similar electrical faults.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland starts upon pressing the ignition button, and will shut off when I try to put it in reverse. Some days it will shut back off immediately after cranking it up.

The timp started melting and almost caught fire. Luckily I caught it when if first started and am getting it replaced.. after reading this is a common issue I am relieved my car didn’t catch fire. Please address this with Jeep. This is dangerous.

SERVICE BRAKES

Brought my 2013 Jeep grand Cherokee in for braking issues, was told abs module has failed. Dealership/Mopar does not have a replacement part for the module and no aftermarket support is available. As a father with a 2y/o and a newborn, this seems unacceptable that a critical component such as the abs module is no longer available 10yrs later.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO LOWER AS DESIGNED CAUSING THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000
Jan 28, 2021
INTERMITTENTLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE VERY STIFF WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND BACKING OUT. AFTER A FEW MILES IT WILL EASE UP. BUT IF A SUDDEN STOP IS NEEDED IT IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AGAIN. OTHER TIMES IT FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. I NOTICED THIS ON THE TEST DRIVE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY ISSUES I BOUGHT THIS CAR AROUND MARCH OF 2019. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING INTERMITTENTLY

I PURCHASED A USED 2013 JEEP 2 YEARS AGO AT NOVAK MOTORS IN FARMINGDALE, NY. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GO TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET THE BRAKE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. I TRIED CALLING THE CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP TO MY WORK LOCATION AT 642 W MAIN STREET, RIVERHEAD, NY AND SPOKE WITH MARTHA? IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TODAY AND SHE SAID IT WOULD BE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT. WHEN I ASKED HER IF I HAVE WARRANTY WORK, AN OPEN CAMPAIGN THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED, WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET IN SOONER? THE WOMAN THEN REPLIED TO ME THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY NEW CUSTOMERS AT ALL!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The V62 fuel pump recall was repaired in 2021. Recently this vehicle has had hard starts again, misfires, engine light came on. The vehicle was taken in to certified repair shop. The shop states cannot diagnose without tearing the only thing apart and a high expense. The shop believes it could be lifters or possibly cam but they are unsure even though the systems to this vehicle having a hard start and misfiring relates to this V62 fuel pump relay that is relates to the cam shaft sensor and causes hard starts and misfires. The car is not driveable more than a short distance. The vehicle is unsafe to drive due to the fact you do not know when this vehicle will stall or start again. The V62 recall pet fuel pump relay has malfunctioned. This part was repair but is a faulty part, a lemon, and the manufacturer should be standing behind this part and their product. I have discussed this with the repair shop and Chrysler/Jeep and now pursing with you due to the safety of this vehicle, the defective recall part, and the fact the manufacturer needs to stand behind their product.

On my way to work and the vehicle stalled. I was able to move the vehicle, however, I reached out for assistance in the recall. Unable to get a dealership to fix the recall.

We were traveling at approx 75 mph on [XXX] in Georgia when the Jeep completely stopped and shut off - lost all power and we had to coast to the shoulder. Thankfully no one was close behind us. The power steering went out and we could not start it back up. We had to get it towed twice to a Jeep dealership for diagnosis. Was told the fuel pump relay needed to be replaced bc of active recall, but that also both fuel pumps had to be replaced. Said that those are the reasons why Jeep wouldn't run. Called Jeep Customer Care and was advised to have the dealership repair, pay for the fuel pumps and then turn in cost under Case #[XXX] and they would reimburse for the parts and labor of the fuel pumps. The cost totaled over $3000 for the 2 pumps and labor and it could take 2 weeks. Told the dealer that we live in Virginia and asked for a loaner or rental car. They said they can't provide either. So we had to rent a car and drive back to Virginia. Then had to rent a car to drive back to Georgia to pick up the Jeep. The Service Rep was not very helpful and was actually very rude along with the service tech who did the repairs. He purposely wrote on our paperwork that the fuel pumps didn't go bad bc of the fuel pump relay so that we would not get reimbursed. But research shows that the faulty fuel pump relay does indeed damage the fuel pumps. After spending over $4k between repairs and additional costs caused by this recall issue, I filed the claim as I was told to do through Jeep Customer Care. They denied it saying that since the service tech specifically wrote that it wasn't the fault of the recalled part, they weren't going to pay it. We were told to have the dealer replace the pumps which we could have done ourselves had we known they would deny our claim. We did what Jeep Customer Care told us to and then they denied our claim anyway. We could have been seriously hurt and this wasn't the first time the Jeep had done this. They refuse to respond to my emails now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Recall 19V-813 was initiated on November 14th, 2019. It is now May 17th, 2023 and the manufacture still is OUT OF STOCK on this part needed to remedy the situation. I'm reporting this because it states if the mfg. cannot remedy in a reasonable amount of time to report it to NHTSA which is what I'm doing. If something happens regarding safety everyone is now on notice that it's unacceptable to be backordered for a recall part for 4 years.

Hello, I am reporting failure on the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which the drivers side headrest activated while the vehicle was not in operation and not involved in any accident. The active head restraint had activated while the vehicle was parked and in a non-running condition. No accident occurred during this time frame. The passenger side active headrest is still in the factory location and has not been activated. The drivers side head restraint has activated and can not be returned to original position. My current safety is at risk as the active head restraint is not functioning per original safety design intent. My head and neck are currently constrained in a position that causes discomfort while driving due to the location of the active head restraint. The manufacturer (Authorized dealer) has been contacted and they responded with a response including that a recall was not issued for this failure type. A warranty period was extended to 10 years from manufacture date which my 2013 has eclipsed. No inspections have been completed to date. The parts have been untouched since the date of discovery. There were no signs of this issues prior to discovery. There are no service or warning lights currently illuminated on the dash or driver information screen. This is a safety related failure and needs to be repaired by the OEM with no cost to the customer. A well documented and known issue exists and puts the owner/operator of the vehicle at a increased level of risk of injury by continuing to operate this vehicle in its current condition.

Passenger headrest popped out while driving downs the road. No accident bump or anything visible set it off. It punched out like an air bag.
Aug 10, 2025
Front passenger side headrest clips faulted causing the headrest to eject. Took it to the dealership and was quoted over $1,000 parts and labor for replacement.

Active Headrest Restraint ( AHR) Drivers Side deployed overnight. This safety feature on many Jeeps is intended to protect motorists including passengers, in the event of rear end collisions by deploying. However a cursory review online reveals many many complaints, recalls, & TSBs . But my entire family now is exposed because Jeep wont extend recalls any longer. My recall expired 11 months ago. I was never notified by mail or by dealership that this recall would expire April 2023. I bought this SUV with understanding of its many safety features like AHD among others. Only makes sense that Stellantis /Jeep extend this recall beyong April 2023 as a result of substandard plastic parts used in headrest. If I had been notified by dealership when Jeep was serviced in 2023 it could have been fixed. All my recalls have previously been fixed. Trying to reach Customer Care at Jeep 877-426-5337 only to get complete jibberish and run-a-around. Certainly affect my next buying decision. Here-to -fore pleased with vehicle but this changes everything . I take safety VERY seriously. Inspection clearly indicates plastic parts ( sled bracket) failed.

Was driving down the road with my young son in the back seat and all of a sudden the head rest came flying forward and smacked the back of my head hard enough for me to swerve and almost get into an accident. After further inspection looking at the headrest once I got home I noticed that a pin is mounted onto some obviously brittle plastic that’s secured to a latch. Well i wasn’t in an accident and just out of nowhere this headrest flipped forward enough to rattle my head a bit.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started to shake with an abnormal knocking sound coming from the driver’s and passenger’s side of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but was not yet diagnosed. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 187,546.
Aug 04, 2022
During repair of thermostat, I was told my oil filter housing was cracked and leaking oil. The mechanic said this was a common problem with the V6 engine in Jeeps because the housing is made of plastic and sits on top of the engine where heat breaks down the plastic. Upon searching the web I found numerous instances of this complaint on various websites. I don't have oil dripping on the ground , but I worry where the oil is running to for instance a hot exhaust pipe. This repair is quite extensive from what I've read and at one point there was an issue getting the replacement part because of the number of failures of this housing. I'm guessing this was a cost cutting effort by Chrysler that's going to cost consumers in the end.

The vehicle engine stalls while driving. The electrical remains on, however the engine stalls. My safety is put in risk because this happens while driving on the highway and normal streets. I have taken it to the dealer (Glendale Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 10070 Manchester Road, St. Louis, Mo. 63122 (3140 965-5100) they claimed to have never heard of this issue, but informed me there was a recall on the Fuel Pump Relay. They replaced, however the issue continues and they claim they cannot figure out the problem. I did receive a letter from FCA-Fiat Chrysler Automobiles regarding the recal-P54(NHTSA14V-530) or safety recall R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). The engine will re-start after about 15 minutes and drives fine until the next time it stalls, which has become more frequent. There is no warning when the engine will stall, it just stops running. This problem has been going on now for over a year with the stalling becoming more frequent.

This is the second time I’ve replaced the rear end differential in this car. Seems to be a know issue among mechanics that Jeep’s are know to need this rare pair often

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds or while stopped at a stop sign, the vehicle was rough idling and would stall intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed as compression leaks and cylinder head failure. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer informed the contact that the failure was related to a manufacturer's X56 extension warranty for the 3.6 Liter left cylinder head. The VIN was not included in the extended warranty and the contact was referred to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

INITIALLY BROUGHT MY JEEP INTO SHOP DUE TO JERKY MOVEMENT AT SLOWS SPEEDS WHILE TRYING TO TURN OR BACKING UP AND THEN "SERVICE 4WD" LIGHT COMING ON. WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE AND SHIFT MOTOR WERE BAD. WHEN I PICKED UP THE JEEP EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. LESS THAN 3MONTHS LATER, AND APPROX. 5,000 MILES, "SERVICE 4WD" LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 4 LOW. HAD CAR TOWED TO SAME SHOP, IN CASE ONE OF THE PREVIOUS PARTS WENT BAD, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED NOW. LOOKING INTO THE ERROR, IT SEEMS THIS IS ANOTHER "KNOWN PROBLEM" WITH JEEP ALONG WITH THE ROCKER ARM ISSUE I PREVIOUSLY HAD ON THIS JEEP. AS BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY RELATED SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD STALL OR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON BOTH ISSUES. ESPECIALLY SINCE BOTH OF THESE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE!

While driving my 2013 JEEP Grand Cherokee on [XXX] the passenger side front headrest deployed with no warning. There was a passenger in the seat at the time of the deployment. My local Jeep dealership stated the headrest wasn't covered by warranty even though an extended warranty letter was sent that there was a known issue with the headrest. There are NO warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. Once the headrest deploys it CAN'T be reset. The local JEEP dealership is unable to inspect or repair UNTIL the headrest deploys. The driver side headrest MAY STILL DEPLOY. This issue can cause an accident, injury, or worse. I had to pay for a repair of a known issue that I could take no preventive action. A call to Chrysler resulted in no resolution or reimbursement of $1,250.23 I paid. I have the deployed headrest.

The axles are all simultaneously rotting to dust. Manufacturer should’ve included grease and a cap.. no reason all 4 of my tires should be in the verge of falling off. A bit of a safety concern id say. Could’ve been easily prevented. Had a mechanic of 50 years tell me he’s never seen axles in such bad condition. I can’t even replace them myself due to the amount of rust that has replaced the bolts. No where else on the jeep has that much rust. From the hour of research I put in, I learned it’s an extremely common issue with the jeeps and in fact the 2017s were recalled for a similar issue. Seems like the 2013s should’ve been included.

The dashboard is covered with leather and the glue that holds it in place has failed. The leather is starting to flap up when the defroster and the air conditioner goes on. It is lifting up and obstructing my view of the road while driving. This should not happen in a car. It must be a design flaw using cheap glue and not having clips to hold the leather in place

MY 2013 GRAND CHEROKEE HAS HAD THE STALLING ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN DEC. 2016. IN 2017 AFTER REPLACING TIPM & FUEL-PUMP AT OUR EXPENSE, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL & NEITHER JEEP NOR THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN CHANGE THE PART. WE FILED WITH NCDS, & THE ARBITRATOR DID NOT PURSUE THE CASE & CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 'OPERATING AS INTENDED'. I HAVE ELECTRONIC COPIES OF THOSE DOCUMENTS. SINCE THE OFFICIAL RECALL WAS ISSUED, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3-4 TIMES & CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY OR EVERY OTHER DAY. IT FAILED & WOULD NOT START DEC. 2019 SO I TOOK IT IN & GOT IT BACK A WEEK LATER. THEY CLAIMED MY BATTERY WAS DEAD & WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE. HOWEVER, THE DAY BEFORE IT WOULDN'T START, I'D DRIVEN IT BACK FROM DALLAS TO LAFAYETTE, LA W NO STALL. I'D ALSO DRIVEN IT AROUND THE MORNING IT STOPPED WORKING SO I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT, BUT PAID FOR THE REPAIRS & A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, IT FAILED AGAIN. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE MY VISIT IN DECEMBER. I TOOK IT IN ON JAN. 20TH FOR THE STALLING & GOT IT BACK ON THE 21ST IN THE AFTERNOON. LESS THAN 24 HRS LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ALL LAST WEEK TO REPORT THE DAILY STALLS & WENT BACK IN THIS PAST MONDAY, THE 27TH, AFTER THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALLS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IT STALLED THERE IN THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT, & THEY GOT A TECH TO RUN THE CODES & IT CAME BACK AS THE RECALL PART. THEN THEY RAN SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTICS PER FCA'S REQUEST & SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. SINCE MONDAY, IT HAS STALLED TWICE SO FAR TODAY, ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHILE DRIVING IT, AND UPON START IT WILL IMMEDIATELY DIE AFTER CRANKING UP. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT & POSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF & OTHERS WHEN IT STALLS IN-OPERATION.

I will be going 50-65 mph down the highway and my jeep will just die. It will die for about 10-15 seconds then start again. This is very dangerous. I have talked to multiple people that this has happened too.

Vehicle has stalled over twenty times, whether driving on the highway over 60 mph or driving locally within 20 MPH. Initially stalled December 25, 2022 while driving home on Christmas Day with my entire family, driving full speed on the highway. I felt the stall and pulled over as quickly as I could. Attempted to restart several times and engine would crank but not start until after 5-7 attempts and several minutes. Since then I continue to experience the same stalling and attempts to restart vehicle. Took to service center multiple times and they are unable to determine the issue. Fuel pump relay was changed twice by the dealership. I had to pay $1500 one time as they said the cost was not covered, which is ridiculous since the problem reoccurred many times after that. Most recently, fast forward to almost 1.5 years later and the issue is still occurring. Now it stalled and appears to be rolling back when in drive until I shift the gear to park and move the gear several times. It has been losing traction and power. I really need someone to determine a resolution to the issue as this is a severe safety issue and I am very concerned about driving it.

Alternator, Fuel Pump, and Brake Booster Water Shield all recall parts were supposed to be repaired at the Jeep service department on June 18 entered in to service department on June 12, 2023 and ready for pick up on June 19, 2023. The service department informed me that after installing the new parts that they shutdown the PCM had to be replace. After picking vehicle up from the Jeep service department the car shut down on the freeway which it stalled in the middle of the busy freeway which could have resulted in death which is a safety concern. After vehicle was safely pushed to side of road the vehicle was towed to home. I called the dealership next morning they informed me that I would have to repay for another tow back to the dealership to see what the problem was but I had to wait for an open appointment for this service so waited and finally the service department stated that I could send the vehicle back to service now on July 05, 2023 after week of calling and not getting an appointment. As indicated on the receipt from the Jeep service department on June 19, 2023 the vehicle failed because of recall parts failing. Now the second time the vehicle is in service the Jeep service department indicated that the recall parts failed again and now they don’t know what’s wrong with the vehicle at this point and they are trying to find remedies such as making me pay for a new TIPM that was damaged from the burnt out recall parts after being fixed. The vehicle is still not operational and no loaner vehicle was offered to me since this is my second time experiencing the same issues from the recalls that supposed to have been fixed which can put me and my family in danger without a proper solution or remedy.

Yes the Jeep developed a stall while going down the highway then would crank and run for 3 or seconds and die again and that’s all it would do. Check engine light comes on as well as the lighting bolt on dash. I believe the fuel pump is part of the problem seeing how at a qt tank of gas it will die and only run when more gas is added but also the body control module cause it keeps throwing diff codes after I fix the issues. As well as the way it cranks n dies like security issue. This is very common for jeeps everywhere

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED DEAD ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE CAR IS RUNNING AND MOVING BUT SUDDENLY STOPS. NO LIGHTS NO MOTOR NOISE NO ABILITY TO STEER OFF THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AT CITY SPEEDS AND STREETS NEVER ON A HIGHWAY NOTHING HAS SHOWED UP ON DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ON DIAGNOSTICS SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIPS HEAD MECHANIC IS NOT RETURNING CALLS. I WAS RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL INCLUDING 2011 TO 2014. MINE IS 2013. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE.

4 days ago, while backing out of a parking spot, the passenger Active Head Restraint (AHR) deployed and struck my girlfriend in the head. There was no interaction with another vehicle and there was no accident. The AHR simply deployed on its own and struck my girlfriend in the head. I have not reset the AHR and left it as is.

Ok [XXX] 1:30 pm we got into car to go to lunch started driving and smoke started coming from the headliner and smelled like burning plastic on driver side near visor, smoke filled the car we were able to roll down windows and able to stop the car. The area continued to emit smoke and area on headliner felt hot. After Turing the car off the smoke/ fire continued and Had to locate the battery under passenger seat to disconnect power. Extremely stressful and scary situation as we have grandchildren and an elderly mother that we care for. I called Chrysler on 7/16/2024 spoke with Kayla she gave me a case number and informed me I would receive a phone call. I never got a call, so I called today 7/22/24 spoke with Ash she informed me this is not under warranty and my call was sent to a survey .

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Prior to bringing our Grand Cherokee (GC) to the dealer to fix the apply the fix for the fuel pump relay recall, the GC stalled once every one or two months. After dealer applied the solution to the fuel pump relay recall, GC stalls almost daily and sometimes more than once daily. Usually, the GC starts just fine. During the first drive of the day, as we take our foot off the gas, the GC stalls. This is dangerous and life-threatening because the stall has occurred on busy streets and on the highway. ATTACHMENT: I took a look a the external relay that the dealer installed. I'm suspicious about the relay. I looked the relay part number online and found that the relay was commonly used for another application and not for fuel pumps. Please check the relay part number in the attachment and verify that this is the correct relay for this fuel pump relay recall.

DEALERSHIP SAYS THER IS SMALL EVAP LEAK IN EXHAUST SYSTEM - $285 LATER, THE LIGHT IS OFF.

THE CROWN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE ON 6350 PERIMETER LOOP DRIVE ACCEPTED THE REPAIR ON 2 OCCASIONS BUT NEVER REPAIRED THE ISSUE. THERE WAS NO FOLLOW UP OR REASON GIVEN FOR NOT COMPLETING THE REPAIR, EVEN AFTER KEEPING MY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS. BUT ITS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

While driving my check engine light came on and then the electronic stability control light came on to show the system was off. I tried to accelerate but the car would not go any faster. I let off and moved to the right lane then pressed the gas again. It struggled to go but eventually did resume speed. This problem is intermittent because after I stopped for fuel, the light went away. After a few hours of driving, it came back on. Park the car and it sat overnight. Next morning started up and light was off. Took in for service and cannot get a code for repairs. Suggestion was continue driving in hopes the light will come back on. Could this be camshaft position sensors?

CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON BOTH HIGHWAYS OR ON CITY'S STREETS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, IT WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF, TURN ITSELF ON, DECELERATE, ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. IN MAY OF 2017 THIS SAME ISSUE WAS ADDRESS BY THE DEALER UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I WAS ASSURED IT WAS FIXED. TODAY, JANUARY 2019. I AM STARTING TO HAVE A REPEAT OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS OF RANDOM DECELERATION, RANDOM ACCELERATIONS OR RANDOMLY TURNING OFF OR ON WHAIL IN MOTION. THIS IS A DAILY REACCUANCE STARTING AGAIN ON 1/3/2019. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, THE DEALERSHIP LARRY MILLER OF BOISE WILL REQUIRE PAYMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR OF AN OBVIOUS VEHICAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY THEM PRIOR UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PINNED TO THE FLOORBOARD. I ATTEMPTED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL LEAVING THE CAR STILL ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC UP TO AND BEYOND 90 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DID SEE A WARNING LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD BUT WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH IT. I LATER LOOKED IT UP IN MY OWNERS MANUAL AND IT WAS THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" ETC) LIGHT. REALIZING THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO TRY TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY PRESSING AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. THIS WAS MODERATELY SUCCESSFUL AND ALLOWED ME TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO A MANAGEABLE SPEED TO LANE CHANGE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. ONCE THERE I USED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE I WAS ABLE TO ALMOST STOP THE CAR WHILE THE ENGINE RACED. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN GEAR SO I THREW THE CAR INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON. THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS SAFELY STOPPED ALONGSIDE THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE SCHEDULED IT TO BE SERVICED AND WILL HOPEFULLY GET SOME SORT OF DATA FROM THE CAR AS TO THE MALFUNCTION. ## VIN PASSED ## JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2013 ## *TT *AS *JS *DT*JB

TIRES
5 complaints
While driving on a 55 mph 4 lane roadway I experienced a loud "pop" sound followed by rapid rhythmic banging at the passenger rear area of the vehicle. Thinking a tire must have failed I got as far to the right of the roadway and stopped. When the tire was changed it was apparent that the tread delaminated involving about one half of the length of the tread. The tire was not punctured and remained inflated. I was in danger of injury due to the proximity to high speed traffic passing by. I contacted Goodyear, the manufacturer of the tire, and they retrieved the tire for an internal inspection. They denied my claim citing the delamination was caused by "impact causing overdeflection of the tire and a fracture of the steel belt package". There was no impact with any object or defect in the road surface. There is no way the the rear tire could have impacted anything without the front passenger side tire also being involved. The tire was rendered totally unusable as a result. There was no warning nor was there any impact. The tire size is 265/50R20. There is extensive damage to the passenger rear area of my vehicle and the rear passenger door.

May 23, 2016
PURCHASED THIS CAR, A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, IN SEPT 2012 BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT CAME EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES (P265/60/R18). I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS CAR AROUND TOWN AND HAVE NEVER DONE ANY OFF ROAD DRIVING. AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES, I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS NEARLY BALD. THE OTHER TIRES WERE WORN AS WELL BUT NOT AS BAD AS THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. AFTER TESTING, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS PERFECT AND THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES WAS PERFECT. THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS NEARLY BALD. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT MICHELIN TIRES. I CONTACTED MICHELIN AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO AN OFFICIAL MICHELIN TIRE DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE THE TIRES INSPECTED. THE INSPECTOR TOLD ME THE TIRES ARE WORN ALL AROUND BUT HE HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS NEARLY BALD. HE SAID THE MICHELIN TIRES HAVE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF SILICON AND THEY ARE SUBJECT TO ROAD HEAT. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT EVEN IF HE FILLED OUT THE SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF PAPERWORK THAT MICHELIN REQUIRES, IT WAS NOT LIKELY I WOULD GET MUCH IF ANY MONEY FROM MICHELIN. I THEN CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT "SOME" OF THE MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES (P265/60/R18) HAD BEEN RECALLED. I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE ALL OF THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE NHTSA NEEDS TO DO A COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION BEFORE PEOPLE GET IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

The battery failed in my vehicle after receiving recall repairs at the service department. The dealership stated that the malfunction happened after first installing a new alternator which was a bad part and shut the vehicle pcm down and they had to replace those components but won’t give me a new battery after stating that it was there mistake but battery’s aren’t cover under warranty components if damaged while repairing other components inside the vehicle. I have contacted the manufacturer and filled out a report for the components and complaints I have experienced with my vehicle in this service dealership. I need help and I have the documents showing that nothing was wrong with any component of my electrical system prior to them supposedly repairing the manufacture safety recalls.

Shortly after purchasing vehicle we noticed there was an issue when using the remote start, the vehicle would start and then the horn would go off as if the alarm was going off, the vehicle would shut off and not want to start with the even with the power button. I disconnected the batter and let it sit for about 20 minutes and then reconnected and started the vehicle normally with the power button, about 6-7 weeks go by and after not using the remote start we had another issue, (NO KEY DETECTED) with both keys in the vehicle, did the same procedure with battery disconnect and reconnect and holding the key fob on the power button so that it would recognize the fob and it seemed to be ok for the time being until the next issue arrived.

The vehicle (2013 GC Trailhawk ) engine stalls while driving. The electrical remains on but engine oil error comes on and I can feel there is missing as if engine is not getting enough fuel, there is no power when you accelerate and the engine stalls. My safety is put in risk because this happens while driving on the highway and normal streets. I have taken it to my Jeep dealer (John Hughes, Perth, Australia ) and they too claimed to have never heard of this issue. Fuel pump relay was already repalced some time back. The issue continues and they claim they cannot figure out the problem. The engine will re-start after about 10 minutes powered off and drives fine until the next time it stalls, which has become more frequent. There is no warning when the engine will stall, it just stops running. This problem has been going on now for over six months for me with the stalling becoming more frequent.- Perth, WA, Austalia This has happened 5 times now in the last 6 months.

FIRST TIME DEALER KEEP CAR FOR OVERNIGHT AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NO ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD SMELLED THE BURNING SMELL TOO. SECOND TIME THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, I PICKED UP THE CAR, DROVE 2 MILES AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I RETURNED IMMEDIATELY AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 MORE DAYS. THE FAILED ALTERNATOR HAD "ARCED" TO THE POWER TRAIN, AND THEN THAT HAD TO BE REPLACE TOO (THAT UNDER WARRANTY THANK GOODNESS). BUT ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED FOR $1000 OUT OF MY POCKET EVEN THOUGH VERY LOW MILEAGE BECAUSE WAS OVER 3 YR WARRANTY PERIOD. IN RESEARCHING HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED SO EARLY, I FOUND THAT THE 160 ALTERNATORS FROM THE SAME PERIOD HAD BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE 180'S ARE NOT (AT LEAST NOT YET....I AM HOPING TO HELP INITIATE ANOTHER RECALL SINCE I SEE ONLINE THAT OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND 180 ALTERNATOR HAVE HAD SAME ISSUES AS ME). I WAS ENCOURAGED BY FCA CUSTOMER CARE TO FILE A PETITION FOR REIMBURSEMENT, AND HAVE JUST HEARD FROM THEM THAT THEY HAVE DECLINED IT SINCE MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE EPISODES, I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES THAT THIS OCCURRED. BOTH TIMES I HAD JUST STARTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD WHINING NOISE THAT LASTED FOR A BIT, AND INCREASED ON ACCELERATION, AND QUICKLY I COULD SMELL SOMETHING LIKE BURNING RUBBER AND SEE SMOKE. I WAS AFRAID THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP SUDDENLY BECAUSE IT STARTED TO BE JERKY, AND WHEN I CAME TO STOP LIGHT IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL.

STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE
3 complaints
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IN THE CITY, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ENGINE SHUTDOWN, AND ENTIRELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR (STEERING, BREAKS ETC.) THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER'S CERTIFIED GARAGE, WHERE THE MALFUNCTION WAS IDENTIFIED AS A FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (THE SAME RELAY WHICH WAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, AS PART OF RECALL R09). THE GARAGE ALSO RE-CONFIRMED THAT THIS RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL, IN 2015. THE MEANING OF THIS FAILURE DEMONSTRATES THAT PRACTICALLY, REPLACING THE UNIT UNDER RECALL R09 HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND THE RISK IS STILL THERE! I HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO FCA IN EUROPE, AND WAS RESPONDED THAT THIS FAILURE "COULD HAPPEN IN 5 YEARS OLD CAR" AND THEREFORE, THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THEM TO WARN OTHER OWNERS. HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND ON-LINE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, MOST OF THEM IN THE US, INDICATING THAT THE FAILURE OF THE REPLACED FUEL RELAY IS COMMON, AND THAT FCA DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SEE THE LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/GRANDCHEROKEE/OTHER-FUEL-SYSTEM-PUMP-PROBLEMS.PHP I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT R09 (NHTSA SAFETY ISSUED ID #15V115 HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS?NHTSAID=15V115#RECALLS360) REFERS TO 5 YEARS OLD CARS, AND THE FAILURE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME REPLACED FUEL RELAY, HAD OCCURRED ONLY 3 YEARS LATER, AND THEREFORE, FCA RESPONSE IS IRRATIONAL AND WRONG. SINCE THE EVENT I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY NOR DO I LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE IT. I SIMPLY DON'T TRUST THE CAR ANYMORE. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I LIVE IN ISRAEL AND HAVE AN OFFICE IN FLORIDA. I HAD TO ENTER MY FL ADDRESS AS THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY FOR AN INTERNATIONAL ADDRESS. MY INTERNATIONAL PHONE NUMBER IS: +972544888755

THE ENGINE AND ALL SYSTEMS STOP; TURN OFF WITHOUT NOTICE. ACTUALLY NOT A STALL, BUT ALL POWER CEASES TO WORK ABRUPTLY. THE CAR THEN MUST BE STOPPED FULLY TO ALLOW A RESTART. WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES THE CAR IS IMMEDIATELY SUBJECT TO A REAR END COLLISION. IT HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH, AND NORMALLY WHEN SLOWING. JEEP DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND, OF COURSE I CANNOT DUPLICATE FOR THEM AS IT OCCURS WITHOUT NOTICE PERIODICALLY. JEEP RECENTLY, FINALLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR A FIX BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES EVEN AFTER THEIR "FIX". THE CAR DOES HAVE AN AFTERMARKET SUPPLEMENTAL BRAKING SYSTEM TO ALLOW TOWING BY AN RV. THAT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE, BUT THE STALLS HAVE CONTINUED. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR NOR WILL I ALLOW MY FAMILY TO DO SO.

LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON FRIDAY OF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. LOST BRAKES AND STEERING TOO. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. TRIED TO RESTART MULTIPLE TIMES, AND STARTER JUST WHIRRED OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I COULDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT FROM ATTEMPTING TO START. IT WOULD ULTIMATELY GIVE UP. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SENT A TOW. THE NEXT DAY AT THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED, BUT IT'S STILL THERE FOR THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. LUCKILY I WASN'T TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS I'VE READ OF MANY INSTANCES SIMILAR TO THIS RECURRING MANY TIMES. *TR

Waited 5 mins and the car started again. My car is constantly stalling, doesn’t give me any warning signals and the Jeep dealership I go to cannot figure out what it is.

MULTIPLE EPISODES OF EXTENDED CRANK WITHOUT START. ALSO SEVERAL EPISODES OF STALLING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING - 1X IN DRIVE BUT ANOTHER TIME ON HIGHWAY AT NIGHT IN TRAFFIC. ALL EPISODES HAVE HAPPENED IN 2017 STARING AUGUST THROUGH 'NOW'. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER SERVICE 4 X WITHOUT RESOLUTION. CURRENTLY WITH DEALER BEING OPERATED WITH A "FLIGHT RECORDER" AS THEY DID EXPERIENCE PROBLEM BUT COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE MECHANICAL SOURCE - THEY CONTACTED "CHRYSLER" FOR ADVICE. I'M LUCKY, I'M DRIVING A LOANER FOR 3 WEEKS NOW FROM MY DEALERSHIP.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 15-25 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal resistance increased while depressing the brake pedal, which required the brake pedal to be depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that the Emergency Stop Brake engaged unexpectedly while the vehicle was idling and while driving at various speeds. A "Low Battery" message was displayed, and upon inspection, the battery was hot. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed failures with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) communication and the transmission; however, the vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously included in unknown recalls and was taken to the dealer where the recall repairs were performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My driver's-side headrest/"airbag" deployed without a collision. I was wiping down my drivers seat after getting the seat dirty and when I wiped over the headrest it popped against my hand and I heard a tinkling noise of something bouncing around inside my vehicle. Further inspection showed that my headrest had popped out like it had deployed in a crash, etc. I was parked in my driveway and was not pushing hard on the headrest. I looked inside the headrest, and also googled this incident, and there are plastic clips inside the headrest that hold it in place. Those plastic clips wore out and broke off, causing the headrest restraint to deploy. I googled this situation and discovered that other people experienced this same thing as well - I got lucky because I wasn't driving when it happened!! But also, after further research, I found out that this is a thing that is happening and nobody is doing a recall about it. It will cost $600+ to get a new headrest inserted BUT there's no guarantee that my next one won't do the same exact thing! I haven't spent the money to get it fixed yet, because of that, but I have to have my seat and lumbar support adjusted ridiculously so that I can ride comfortably without my neck sticking out like a turtle.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY I WAS HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BUT I LOOKED AROUND AND THERE WAS NO CARS AROUND. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AT MY HEADREST AND IT EXPLODED AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD. I CALLED AND BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO JEEP WHO SAID IT WAS THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT AND IT IS SET TO GO OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT. I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT. I THEN CALLED JEEP DIRECTLY WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD LEAVE MY CAR AT JEEP. THAT WAS 3 WEEK AGO. ALL OF MY ATTEMPT TO CONTACT JEEP TO HAVE THEM RECTIFY THE ISSUE AND REPLACE MY HEADREST HAVE GONE NO WHERE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALL BACKS AND EVERY TIME I CALL THEM THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT WAIT UNTIL I AM CONTACTED BY JEEP. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD AN CRASHED.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE, I BOUGHT MY JEEP NEW IN 2014. IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH READY ALERT BRAKING (RAB). IN 2016 IT FAILED TO STOP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND INJURING MY WIFE. THEN RECENTLY I DISCOVERED THE RAB SYSTEM ON MY CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED (14V104000) BACK IN 2014 AND I HAD NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. AS I REVIEWED THE RECALL CAMPAIGN IT WAS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR IT HAD CAUSED MY WIFE'S 2016 ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. I CONTACT JEEP'S HOTLINE RELATING IN AN ODD QUIRK I HAD RECEIVED WRITTEN PROOF IN AN UNRELATED CORRESPONDENCE FROM CHRYSLER THAT MY 2013 WAS BUILT WITH THE RAB SYSTEM INCLUDED. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO REMEDY THE RECALL OVERSIGHT THEY TOLD ME TO "CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY." A WEEK LATER I TRIED TO RE-EXPLAIN THE FAULT WAS WITH THEIR FACTORY INSTALLED AND RECALLED READY ALERT BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE. BECAUSE THEY WON'T BOTHER TO REVIEW THE PROOF I HOLD NOR BELIEVE THEIR BUILD (VIN) DATA IS WRONG I HAVE NO PLACE TO TURN EXCEPT YOU OR A LEGAL REMEDY. I HOPE YOU CAN MOTIVATE JEEP TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU.

MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH CHRYSLER'S READY ALERT BRAKING SYSTEM (RAB) WHICH CHRYSLER SAYS IS NOT INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO IT'S VIN. THE RAB SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE (WHICH WAS RECALLED UNDER YOUR CAMPAIGN 14V104000) CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES EXACTLY YOU DESCRIBED AS THE REASON FOR YOUR RECALL CAMPAIGN IN THE FIRST PLACE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW AND THE RAB SYSTEM WAS EVEN DEMONSTRATED TO ME BY THE DEALERSHIP SALESPERSON DURING MY ORIGINAL TEST DRIVE. IN ADDITION TO ACCIDENT/MEDICAL REPORTS, THE BROKEN ANKLE BONES COULD ONLY HAVE COME FROM UNFORGIVING HARD BRAKE PEDAL, DURING THE CRASH AS OUR VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP.

I FOUND IT FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. AFTER A TRIP OUT OF TOWN AND DROVE A TOTAL OF CLOSE TO 1200 MILES, THE LIGHT STAYED ON.

- The core component that failed is the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The failure was initiated by a fault in the external fuel pump relay (V62 Safety Recall remedy part), which caused improper power delivery. This improper power delivery subsequently damaged the fuel pump motor, requiring replacement of both components. This failure has cascaded, also disabling the circuits for the Engine Cooling Fan (Codes P0480/P0693) and Exterior Lighting (Headlights/B1630), and the Horn. I am in possession of the burnt-out fuel pump relay/fuse component. -The engine stalled while the vehicle was operating, the exact hazard the V62 recall was meant to prevent. This was followed by a catastrophic TIPM breakdown, creating new, simultaneous safety risks: Overheating/Fire Risk: The Cooling Fan circuit failed (P0480/P0693), causing severe engine overheating. No Headlights: The Headlights failed (B1630), causing total loss of visibility at night. No Horn: The Horn failed, eliminating the ability to warn other drivers. - Yes. The initial engine stall and subsequent no-start condition (due to a blown relay fuse) were confirmed by an independent service center (Monro). The cascading failures (overheating, horn, lights) and the diagnostic codes (P0480, P0693, B1630, C2201-00) were confirmed on 11/1. - The vehicle was inspected by an independent service center (Monro), who returned the failed recall component to me (relay). Recommend it go to a certified jeep dealership. It is waiting to be towed there. -The first warning was a history of intermittent starting difficulty. On 10/23, the engine stalled while operating and immediately resulted in a no-start condition. The Check Engine Light illuminated after the subsequent failed restart attempts.

I am reporting repeated safety-critical failures with my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee that have rendered the vehicle unreliable, dangerous, and now inoperable. I believe this vehicle suffers from a systemic electrical defect related to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)—a well-documented issue across Jeep models that causes starting failures, loss of power, and unpredictable behavior of vehicle systems. On [XXX], my vehicle failed to start. The starter clicks but does not engage. These symptoms align with known TIPM-related failures. Despite this, the authorized dealership (Madison Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM) has refused to test the TIPM, insisting on replacing the starter without confirming the root electrical issue. This places consumers at risk of breakdowns without warning and reflects a pattern of ignoring known defects. My vehicle also has a history of major mechanical failures: Water pump, thermostat, and oil pressure unit replaced (Feb 2024) Rack and pinion, control arm, wheel hub replaced (Jul 2024) Rear brake caliper seized (Aug 2024) Radiator failure (Apr 2025) The vehicle remains with the dealership since 4/30/25. As of 5/14/25, I have received no update or repair. My case with Stellantis (Case [XXX]) has been met with repeated communication failures. I missed one call from the case manager on 5/8 and immediately returned it—leaving three voicemails over two business days and receiving no response. I was promised a callback by 5/13 and still have not heard back. These issues raise serious concerns regarding the safety and reliability of this vehicle. I am requesting the NHTSA investigate potential TIPM-related electrical defects and non-compliance with manufacturer responsibility to address safety defects. I do not believe it is safe for my vehicle to be returned to me in its current state, and I urge your agency to consider further action regarding this recurring and widespread defect.

I was driving down a hill, came to a stop, and it died. I put the car in park, and turned it off and on. There were no messages on the dashboard. The car started, so I took a left turn and suddenly the car stopped moving. The RPM went up, but the car didn't drive. It kicked back and it finally started driving but with the car hesitating. I was in the middle of a very busy intersection. The car died 3 times yesterday, and today it died 2 times.

I don't know if the headrest is part of the airbag deployment system or it's own entity. It is available for inspection. I was pulling into my driveway when the front passenger headrest exploded/deployed. I had just dropped my sister, who had been sitting there, and would have been injured by the force. I took my car to the dealership and was told that the 'involuntary deployment' was a known problem to Jeep and they had extended the warranty for the problem but it had expired in June 2023 so it would cost me $900 to fix. I contacted Jeep and was told they could not extend an extended warranty so repair was on me. There were no warning lamps or messages. This happened on 12/22.

Has been having issues with the hydralyft suspension. There has been a leak in both front air suspension fittings that connect to the air lines that supply air to both of the front air bag suspension suspension shocks. Replaced both of those out of pocket. My main reason for contacting you guys today is because I've searched my vin number & after further research I've found out that my 2014 jeep grand Cherokee overland w/the 5.7Litet hemi engine has started to give me some issues the other day with the battery dying while I was driving it home. The very next day i walked outside because I was about to head to work. So I cranked my SUV up noticed the battery light on the dash was back on again but then I seen a little bit of smoke coming out from underneath my hood so I shut my truck off opened the hood & seen it was coming from my alternator. I even got a video of when I opened the hood that morning when I seen the smoke, & when Iooked under the hood the copper wound wrapped diodes inside the alternator were glowing red hot the color of lava. All I smelled was burning copper so it was on the verge of the metal being so hot it melted, like they were just pulled out of a metal furnace. My vin number should be in this request I can provide it if not. I can also provide pics & video of suv & alternator. I pulled the alternator off earlier myself because I've been out of transportation for the past week. So I'm going to get it testing here ina bit.

On July 15, 2021, I was driving my vehicle 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee in my town. My daughter was sitting in the front seat of the vehicle. As I was driving, the passenger headrest deployed unexpectedly for no reason. I heard a loud pop and then my daughter scream as the headrest hit her in the back of the head. She was not injured. I have no idea why this occurred. I went home and researched this online and discovered several articles in which similar incidents have occurred with other people in similar vehicles. I contacted the dealership to see if they were any recalls for this particular issue and I was told no. Also, the representative from the dealership told me they had talked with a supervisor and did not know what I was talking about.

MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE THE SECOND TIME THE DEFAULT WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED 4 YEARS AGO IN RECALL WARRANTY AND HAS MADE AN AUDIBLE TICKING NOISE SINCE THEN. DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, IN ANNISTON, AL AND FOLEY, AL, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TICKING WAS NORMAL FOR THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE. THREE WEEKS AGO, I TOOK A JEEP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN WROTE ON MY MULTI-POINT INSPECTION PAPERWORK 'NOTICED AN AUDIBLE TICKING'. THIS TECHNICIAN HAS TOLD ME TWICE PREVIOUSLY THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND FAILED TO MENTION TO ME PERSONALLY WHILE IN THE DEALERSHIP. I ONLY NOTICED HE WROTE IT ON MY PAPERWORK AFTER I HAD LEFT. I CALLED AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH THE TECHNIQUE CONCERNING THE TICKING AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK AND TO THIS MOMENT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE DEFAULT ENGINES. THE TICKING SPEEDS UP WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWO IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. ONCE, IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BE STARTED AND RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE SECOND TIME, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY AND SLOWING FOR A CAR TO TURN AHEAD OF ME. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. FOLLOWING THIS, MY FCW TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN BACK ON. CURRENTLY, MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN RECALL TO, AGAIN, REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED THREE PRIOR TIMES, ONCE BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TWICE BY A PRIVATE TECHNICIAN. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED A YEAR AGO AND STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY PER THE DEALERSHIP. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY, AT TIMES 300 MILES PER DAY.MY CHILD TRAVELS WITH ME AND I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE.

THEY INITIALLY WERE NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT HOLDING PRESSURE AND WOULD COST $2000 TO REPLACE. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT RIGHT NOW, AND I DECLINED REPAIRS. I CALLED THE HEADQUARTERS FOR CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR THEM TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MALFUNCTIONING PART RELATED TO A RECALL, AND THEY REFUSED. THIS IS DOCUMENTED UNDER CASE #34923344. I FEEL CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD EITHER REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN, EVEN AFTER IT WAS ALREADY DONE ONCE UNDER RECALL R09, OR THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP, AS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WITH 100% CERTAINTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE ENGINEERING OF THEIR VEHICLES.

PLEASE REFERENCE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 11114071 AND 11114079 FOR EXACT DATES OF FAILURE FOR JULY 2018. THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FUEL PUMPS WERE BOTH REPLACED AND THE JEEP WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 8/4/18. I DROVE IT ON 8/5/18 ONCE AND THEN TWICE IN THE MORNING ON 8/6/18. IT SAT IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY WORK FROM 8:30 TO 12:30 PM ON 08/6/18. AT 12:30 PM, THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OF STARTING FAILURE WERE HAPPENING. IT STARTED WITH TURNOVER THEN IMMEDIATELY DIED. THEN TURNED ON AFTER A 2ND ATTEMPT. THEN AT THE RESTAURANT I WENT TO AT APPROXIMATELY 12: 55 PM, THE JEEP COMPLETELY FAILED TO START. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDING OF THE FAILURE AND CAN PRODUCE THAT FOR REFERENCE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT STARTING AND STAYING ON CONSISTENTLY. THE START RESULTS IN IMMEDIATELY DYING AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS LIKE THAT, IT EVENTUALLY IT JUST CRANKS AND CRANKS UNTIL YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. IT'S BEING TOWED A SECOND TIME TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, A DOME LIGHT IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SHUT OFF SINCE IT WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 8/4/18. IT WAS NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE 8/4/18. THIS IS A TIPM PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE 3RD PICTURE I'VE UPLOADED IS A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE VIDEO I HAVE OF THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING BUT CRANKING AND CRANKING. THE OTHER TWO ARE CAPTIONED. I HAVE THIS VIDEO AND CAN SEND IT.

PER MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT (NUMBER 11114071) I STATED MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN CHRYSLER RECALL 15V-115. THAT WAS INCORRECT. MY VIN WAS INCLUDED IN CHRYSLER RECALL 15V-115. AND THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. MEANING: THE FUEL PUMP WAS ALREADY REPLACED. SO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WITH FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND CRANKING IS A PERSISTENT AND UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE THAT IS DEDUCTIVELY REASONED TO BE DUE TO TIPM FAILURE. THIS FAILURE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA.

THEY ALSO SAID THE FRONT SHOCKS WERE BLOWN AND LEAKING AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WARRANTY COMPANY SAID THAT CAR HAD PREEXISTING CONDITIONS AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP.

THIS SEEMS RIDICULOUS CONSIDEING THE CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. I ENDED UP HAIGB TO PAY OVER $300 FOR A NEW PASSENGER SEAT BELT INCLUDING INSTALLATION. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT? WHY IS SUCH A NEW SEAT BELT FAILING? SHOULD I WORRY THAT MY DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WILL FAIL AS WELL?

THE TECHNICIAN EVEN SAID THIS A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD ALREADY 5 SERIOUS RECALLS PLUS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE AND CONSUMERS ARE FORKING THE BILL TO PAY FOR THESE POORLY BUILT JEEP VEHICLES.

LOW BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, AND TWO MILES LATER THE MAJORITY OF DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. SIMULTANEOUSLY, A CONSTANT BEEPING BEGAN AND WIPERS TURNED ON. THE SCARY PART IS THAT WITHIN SECONDS, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING WAS PRECARIOUS, WINDY, AND DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER. I CONTINUED AT MINIMAL SPEED AROUND THE CURVES FOR LESS THAN A MILE, LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. VERY SOON, THE CAR ACCELERATOR STOPPED AND THE CAR DIED. I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (TOOK EFFORT WITHOUT POWER STEERING). TERRIBLE AND SUDDEN EXPERIENCE. NOT ENOUGH WARNING TO GET THE CAR SERVICED BEFORE COMPLETE ELECTRONIC AND VEHICLE SHUTDOWN OCCURRED. THANKFUL THAT NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND DURING THE INCIDENT, AS I AM CONFIDENT I DID NOT HAVE SAFE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME. TOWED VEHICLE TO SAFETY. MECHANIC TESTED AND DISCOVERED THAT ALTERNATOR FULLY SHORTED AND BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD (UNABLE TO RECHARGE).

I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 22MAY AND THEY FOUND THAT THE MASTER WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MADE MENTION OF THE P14 RECALL. THEY REPERFORMED THE RECALL AND REPLACED THE MASTER AND BOOSTER AND AFTER TESTING THEY FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THEY ORDERED ANOTHER MASTER CYL.

BACK TO THE DEALER ON JULY 17 WITH THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON DEC. 23/2015 THE SAME MALFUNCTION AND RETURN TO THE DEALER ON 31DEC. AT THIS POINT THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE MECHANIC SAID THEY COULD REDO THE FIX BUT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT WAS A HEALTH HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID SINCE IT WAS REPAIRED THEY COULD NOT DO A VEHICLE REPLACEMENT AND TO CONTACT THEM WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I TOLD THEM WHAT THE MECHANIC AND ADVISOR SAID ABOUT BREAK FAILURE AND IT WAS "WE CAN NOT HELP YOU." I THEN WROTE TO THEIR NCDS AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY I HAD NO CASE. WHEN THIS STARTED THE VEHICLE HAD 41759 MILES AND THE LAST REPAIR IT HAD 48288.

THE VEHICLE ACTIVATED AIRBAGS BURNING AND BRUISING MY BODY; I WENT TO THE ER AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. SOME OF THE PARTS REPLACED FOR THIS CRASH INCLUDED, BUMPER AND HOOD ASSEMBLIES, A/C DUCTS AND EVAPORATOR, GRILLE, RADIATOR, HEADLIGHT, COMPUTER, WIPER WASH CANISTER, WATER PUMP, FAN, SEAT BELT AND ONE FENDER, ETC. IN ADDITION THE CRASH TOLL CAUSED STRUCTURAL DAMAGES TO THE PROPERTY. THE SERVICE SHOP COMPLETED THE REPAIRS ON FEB 27, 2015. ON MARCH 2 AND MAY 20, 2015 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FAILURES. THEY FINALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION BY MAY 29, 2015. ON JULY 2 I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE THERE WAS A NOISY RIDING AND CHECK ENGINE WAS ON; BY JULY 16 THEY HAD REPLACED ONE SHOCK ABSORBER, THE GAS PUMP AND TANK, AND ONE OXYGEN SENSOR (MILEAGE AT THIS POINT 22,594). ON JULY 22, 2015 I WENT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR REPLACING THE CATALYST. BECAUSE OF THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION EVENT, ALL ABOVEMENTIONED REPAIRS, PLUS FIVE EXECUTED RECALLS (ONE STILL OPEN R909/NHTSA 14V-115) AND AN IMMINENT SIXTH RECALL FOR START BUTTON (THAT DOES NOT SHUTS OFF); I DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND QUALITY. I'M AFRAID OF HURTING ME OR SOMEONE ELSE; I COULD NOT AFFORD REPAIRS AT UPCOMING WARRANTY EXPIRY. THEREFORE, I HOPE YOU BUY BACK THIS DEFECTIVE GRAND CHEROKEE 2013.

THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD "PUT ME ON THE LIST" AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I GOT THE SECOND SAFETY RECALL (P36/NHTSA 14V-391 SUN VISOR WIRING). I CALLED CARSON DODGE/JEEP AGAIN. THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL AND IT "DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THEM UNTIL THEY COULD PERFORM THE INSPECTION FOR BOTH SAFETY RECALLS". THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD "PUT ME ON THE LIST" AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE.
