ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
COLD STARTED THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, WAS IN PARK AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. IT APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER #3 MISFIRE, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, & HAD LOSS OF POWER. ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING, CHECK OIL, LOW BATTERY LIGHT, SERVICE THE 4X4, AND WIPERS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE, REMAINED ON. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE IN SUMMER OF 2019, THEN IT WAS A #3 MISFIRE. THIS TIME, AGAIN, THE CODE WAS A #3 MISFIRE! THE SUMMER OF 2019 I HAD THE GARAGE REPLACE THE FAULTY 3 COIL PACKS ALONG WITH A NEW ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS DAMAGED BECAUSE OF THE BAD COIL PACKS, WHICH FIXED THE ISSUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 AND 1/2 YEARS. THEN THE ISSUE RESURFACED ON CHRISTMAS 2020, SAME PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
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?? I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT A FEW YEARS AGO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

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

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

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