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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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. CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS BRING THE CAR IN FOR A TEMPORARY FIX WHICH IS WORRISOME.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JEEP STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY DAUGHTER. IT ALSO DOES NOT START ALL THE TIME UNTIL YOU TRY IT 3 TIMES. IT STALLS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL RELAY THAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT NO FIX. I WAS SENT TO DEALER WHO PUT NEW PART ON FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL FIX IS AVAILABLE BUT IT DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. STALLED THE NEXT DAY WHILE TURNING OFF OF BUSY ROAD AND A TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND COMING TO THE CORNER I LOST USE OF POWER STEERING WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN UNREPAIRED FOR AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
