ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON TWO OR THREE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST YEAR, WHEN I GO TO START THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE CRANKS MANY TIMES, BUT WON'T START. I WOULD TYPICALLY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A "NO FUEL TO THE ENGINE" ISSUE OR "NO SPARK", BUT ONCE I'M ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FROM CRANKING (WHICH HAS BEEN AN ISSUE) AND ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT DOES SO WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT MAKES ME THINK THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR MAY HAPPEN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE LEATHER DASHBOARD ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS DELAMINATING (I.E., DETACHING FROM THE DASHBOARD). CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED AN "X-81" EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH THEY FAILED TO COMMUNICATE TO CONSUMERS) AND IS NOW REFUSING TO TAKE STEPS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND IF IT CONTINUES TO WORSEN IT MAY IMPEDE VISIBILITY.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED SO WE TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSIS TO A JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DIAGNOSIS FOR MY VEHICLE IS LOW COMPRESSION IN CYLINDERS #1 AND #2 CAUSING A MISFIRE. THE CODE IS P0302. THE IRONY OF THIS DIAGNOSIS IS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A CYLINDER HEAD EXTENSION WARRANTY FOR ONLY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. MEANING THAT CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE LEFT SIDE (UNDER WARRANTY) BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE THAT SUFFERS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. CYLINDER #1 IS COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY 10 YEARS 150,000 MILES AND CYLINDER #2 WAS COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL POWER TRAIN 5 YEARS 100,000 MILES AND WE ARE STILL UNDER 100,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. UNUSUAL WEAR AND FAILURE IN THE UPPER CYLINDERS AND VALVES ARE PERVASIVE PROBLEMS WITH 2011-13 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH THIS ENGINE I WAS ADVISED BY THE TECHNICIAN AT LARRY MILLER CHRYSLER THAT LKQ AND C&K DO NOT OFFER AFTERMARKET ENGINES FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO THE FACTORY MOTOR SEEMS TO BE OUR ONLY HOPE. WE HAVE SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO CHRYSLER CORP AND AM GETTING THEIR "GENERIC AUTOMATIC EMAIL THAT STATES OUR CLAIN HAS BEEN CLOSED". ONE REPRESENTIVAE EVEN ASKED US TO SUBMIT THE STAMPED WORK ORDER AND ANY RECEIPTS, WHICH WE DID 10 DAYS AGO. TODAY WE CALLED TO ASK ABOUT OUR CLAIM AND ARE BEING TOLD IT HAS BEEN CLOSED AND THEY HAVE NOT GOVEN US ANY EXPLANATION OTHER THAN IT IS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. HOW CAN 1 SIDE OF THE ENGINE BE COVERED BUT THE OTHER SIDE IS NOT? WE BASICALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR A WHOLE NEW ENGINE AND LABOR COSTS TO THE TUNE OF $8,000. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS AND REPAIRS AND WE ARE DEVASTATED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THIS ENGINE ISSUE IS EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY RUINING OUR FAMILY.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND WILL NOT RESTART. MECHANIC MADE US AWARE HE CANNOT FIX AS THIS IS AN ISSUE UNDER AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2019. I CALLED A JEEP SERVICE CENTER WHO SAID THEY CANNOT APPLY THE RECALL WORK BECAUSE JEEP/FIAT HAVEN'T MADE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. MEANTIME WE NOW HAVE A JEEP WE STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR EVEN THOUGH IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. THIS RECALL CAME OUT A YEAR AGO AND I AM TOLD ANOTHER YEAR COULD PASS BEFORE JEEP MAKES PARTS AVAILABLE TO SERVICE CENTERS. WHAT IN THE MEANTIME ARE IMPACTED JEEP OWNERS SUPPOSED TO DO, KEEP PAYING FOR VEHICLES THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN? TWO YEARS BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS WE HAD SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO REFUEL AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART, STRANDING US. OUR MECHANIC RULED OUT BAD GAS AND INDICATED THE TIPM HAS MALFUNCTIONED. RECALL 19V-813 ADDRESSES IT (JEEP'S RECALL FOR IT IS V62) BUT APPEARS ANOTHER YEAR WILL PASS BEFORE THE RECALL CAN BE DONE. THAT'S A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. AGAIN, UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2012JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL STALL AS I'M COMING TO A STOP. IT DOESN'T ALERT WITH ANY CODES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT IS NOW DOING THIS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE BODY SHOP INFORMED ME THAT A PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE. IT STALLED TRINING ONTO A ON-RAMP, WHILE I WAS IN A ROUNDABOUT, AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. IT IS HAPPENING AT DECELERATION. NO CODE IS SENT ANY TIME IT STALLS. THE MUSIC IS TILL PLAYING, ALL LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. I KNOW IT HAS STALLED BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING IS OUT AND ENGINE IS OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL PRESS THE BREAK AND STARTED BUTTON TO MAKE IT GO AGAIN. TOTALLY NOT SAFE WHILE IN A ROUNDABOUT LET ALONE ANYTIME.
