BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER (P14) AND THE DEALER CANNOT RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME UNTIL THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS REPAIRED. THEY CANNOT GET PARTS FROM CHRYSLER AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH AND NEITHER THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER CAN GIVE ME INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'VE PURCHASED FOUR JEEPS AND WILL NOT EVER AGAIN AFTER THIS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD A RECALL P36/NHTSA 14V-154 AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. I SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 14, 2014 TO BRING THE CAR IN BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO INSPECT AND ORDER THE PART. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR THE DAY, SO THEY COULD INSPECT IT, AND PICKED IT UP AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT IS SEPTEMBER 25, 2014, AND THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME OR RETURNED MY CALLS REGARDING THE REPAIR. I ALSO GOT A SECOND RECALL WHILE WAITING FOR FOLLOW-UP ON THE FIRST FOR THIS VEHICLE: P36/NHTSA 14V-391. I CALLED TO SET THAT APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME TIME AS THEY REPAIR THE FIRST RECALL. I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE RECEPTIONIST AND NEVER GOT A CALL BACK. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH I NEED TO MANAGE THEIR RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPTS TO MANAGE IT THEMSELVES OR RESPOND TO MY INQUIRIES. WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE? THE DEALER IS AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
ON FRIDAY, 9/19/14, MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ALMOST KILLED ME. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN VA AND NY VIA I-81 FOR A FAMILY FUNERAL. I STOPPED HALF-WAY THERE FOR LUNCH AND THEN EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM STARTING IT. HITTING THE START BUTTON, IT WOULD NOT START, AND WOULD NOT STOP TRYING TO DO SO - IT KEPT CRANKING AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I OPENED THE DOOR. IT DID THIS 3-4X, AND THEN IT STARTED. IT HAD NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. I CONTINUED ON, MORE CAUTIOUSLY. AN HOUR LATER, WHILE PASSING SEVERAL BIG RIGS, PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. I LOST POWER STEERING, ACCELERATOR FUNCTION, AND MY DASH LIT UP - AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED RUNNING AND EVEN REV'ED DESPITE THE LACK OF THE ACCELERATOR. MY BRAKES ALSO DIDN'T WORK FOR APPROX. 10 SECONDS. THE ROAD CURVED, AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND FLIPPED THE JEEP TRYING TO AVOID THE BIG RIGS, WHICH WERE SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES ALL AROUND. ULTIMATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITH NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER 15 MINUTES, IT RE-STARTED, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. UPON ARRIVAL, HOWEVER, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THINGS WHILE TESTING IT AT VERY LOW SPEEDS ON BACK ROADS. AFTER THE FUNERAL ON SATURDAY, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT STILL IS UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTICS. I HAD TO TRAVEL BACK TO VA ON SUNDAY, AND NOW HAVE TO RENT A CAR, DEAL WITH LONG-DISTANCE REPAIRS WITH AN UNKNOWN DEALERSHIP, AND TRAVEL BACK TO NY TO GET IT ONCE REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIPM ISSUE, WHICH I HAVE LEARNED JEEP/CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT, BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES (FLASHLIGHT NEVER WORKED, MULTIPLE BACK BULBS, ETC), WHICH THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED MAY INDICATE TIPM ISSUES SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE ALWAYS DEALT WITH AS ISOLATED REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP WITH A JEEP/CHRYSLER TIPM RECALL! *TR

I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND HEARD A NOISE. AFTER SEARCHING THE WHOLE CAR, THE FUEL PUMP WAS STUCK ON. I TURNED CAR ON AND OFF THINKING IT WOULD RESET AND IT DID NOT. I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO TURN OFF THE PUMP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIPM WAS BAD AND WILL COST $1500.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ACROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, AN INTERSECTION WHERE 2 LANES MERGE INTO ONE ON THE FAR SIDE. SHE WAS IN THE THROUGH LANE, THE LEFT LANE. OUR VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. CARS WERE MERGING FROM THE RIGHT AND NO ONE COULD COMPREHEND THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS IN A FAILURE MODE. WITH ENGINE NOT RUNNING, AND BELLS RINGING WHICH NO IDEA WHY THE BELLS, THE POWER-STEERING WAS INOPERATIVE AND THE BRAKES WERE VERY INEFFECTIVE. SHE WAS TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE OR BEING HIT. SOMEHOW, SHE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. SHE'S A VERY SMALL IN STATURE PERSON AND IT TOOK ALL SHE HAD TO STEER AND STOP THIS 5200 POUND JEEP. AFTER LETTING THE JEEP SIT, IT STARTED UP AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND WE WENT DIRECTLY TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY PLUGGED IN A CODE-READER, FOUND NO CODES, AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE US WITH A REPAIR WORK ORDER SO WE HAVE NO PAPER WORK. THEY KNOW WHAT'S WRONG BUT ARE AVOIDING THE ISSUE. IT'S THE TIPM! THIS ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE FUEL PUMP ISN'T RUNNING WHEN IN THE FAILURE MODE. SOMETIMES THE HORN BLOWS BY ITSELF! WE'VE HAD THE WIPERS NOT FUNCTION AND THE WINDOW NOT ROLL UP. THE VEHICLE IS HAUNTED. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL NHTSA? *TR

CAR WAS SHUT OFF, LOCKED AND PARKED IN MOTEL PARKING LOT. 45 MINUTES LATER, CALL WAS MADE TO ROOM THAT IT HAD ROLLED ACROSS LOT, DOWN A HILL AND CRASHED INTO A TANKER TRUCK WHICH WAS REFUELING @ A GAS STATION. CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN DRIVE. I AM DOUBLY SURE CAR HAD BEEN SHUT OFF, PLACED IN PARK, AND LOCKED SECURELY. WEATHER HAD BEEN EXTREMELY HOT THAT DAY (+100 DEGREES). *TR

MY JEEP BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS A TIPM ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP REWIRED THE FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT TO TIPM WITH A STAND-ALONE OUTSIDE RELAY. THIS NEW RELAY IS USED TO TURN-ON THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HOWEVER SOME SAID THAT WHEN THEY GOT THE VEHICLE TO START IT WOULD SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIPM. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS MORE PREVALENT ON THE 2011 MODEL. IF IT IS TRUE THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT THE FUEL COULD SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME, THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
