ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES WHILE IN REVERSE ,SOMETIMES WHILE IN DRIVE AND SOMETIMES WHILE MOVING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT SPEEDS UP TO 30 MPH. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WON'T LET YOU SHIFT TO PARK TO RESTART IT. THERE ARE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS WHEN IT HAPPENS. VERY SCARY AS ITS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED IN DRY AND WET CONDITIONS, ON RESIDENTIAL AND CITY STREETS. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT ITHE CAUSE IS THE SAME AS OTHER FIAT CHRYSLER RECALLS FIR THE 2008 GRAND CHEROKEE THOUGH OURS IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED LEAKING OF DIESEL FROM THE FUEL TANK (WET SPOT IN PARKING). APPEARS THE TANK WAS CORRODED, AND LEAKING ON ONE OF THE SEAMS. ACCORDING TO GARAGE, DIRT COLLECTED BETWEEN THE TANK (METAL) AND THE SKID PLATE (METAL) RESULTED IN THE LEAK. LOOKING AT SOME FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING FREQUENTLY.

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR CONCERNING THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN). WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IN QUESTION WAS ON BACK ORDER (PART # R57XBN) AND WAS TOLD TO CHECK BACK TO SEE WHEN THEY WOULD COME IN. ABOUT THREE OR FOUR WEEKS AGO I STOPPED IN AT BOB AND CHUCK EDDY, 4850 MAHONING AVENUE, AUSTINTOWN, OHIO AND SPOKE WITH SANTANA WILLIAMS WHO MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TODAY AT 9:30. WHEN I ARRIVED TO DROP OF MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WAS NO APPOINTMENT FOR ME. I THEN EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND HANDED HIM HER CARD WITH MY APPOINTMENT INFORMATION ON IT. I WAS THEN TOLD NOT TO WORRY THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF ME. AT THIS POINT THE PERSON I WAS TALKING TO DISAPPEARED FOR A WHILE AND UPON RETURNING INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT IN. HE THEN GAVE ME THE PART NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO CALL EVERY WEEK UNTIL IT CAME IN AND THEN THEY WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLAN IS TO JUST KEEP PUTTING IT OFF UNTIL I GET AN ACCIDENT OR JUST TRADE IN THE VEHICLE.

I WAITED FOR OVER ONE YEAR FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO RESPOND FOR REPAIR OF THE RECALLS P57 / NHTSA 14V-567 (AND P73). THEY COMPLETED THE REPAIR(S) AUGUST 25, 2015 - NO CHARGE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY, AND EVER SINCE, HAS SHOWN THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOW SAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS DIFFERENT AND MY COST WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $500.00. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING DUE TO THE KEY FOB POPPING OUT OF PLACE. I WENT TO THE DEALER IN JANUARY 2015 AND WAS TOLD THE PART IS NOT READY AND TO CALL FOR AN UPDATE. I HAVE CALLED AND BEEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THEM AND GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. ON 9/16/2015 WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE NAVIGATION/RADIO CONSOLE START TO PIXILATE AND BECOME INOPERABLE THEN THE CONSOLE BLACKED OUT, AFTER THAT THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD LIT UP AND I RECEIVED SEVERAL SYSTEM WARNINGS (SERVICE GAUGES, PARK ASSIST DISABLED, CHECK SENSORS, SERVICE SUSPENSION, MY ENGINE LIGHT AND WIPERS CAME ON, I WAS UNABLE TO SIGNAL, USE MY LIGHTS OR TURN OFF THE WIPERS) ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT OUT OF FEAR AT THIS TIME I HEARD THE KEY FOB POP BACK AND THE CAR COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK BECAUSE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE PARKING LOT WAS SEMI-EMPTY SO I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER UNTIL IS ROLLED TO A STOP. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. I NEED A RESOLUTION NOW, I STILL HAVE TWO YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS LEFT AND I WANT THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED.
