3 INSTANCES OF ENGINE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SUSPECT POWER CONTROL MODULE BOX. FIRST INSTANCE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY, AND HEADLIGHTS AND DASHBOARD BEGIN TO FLICKER UNCONTROLLABLY. I PULLED NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, RE-CONNECTED AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND ALL NORMALITY RETURNS. 2ND ISSUE, SOME YEAR AGO OR LESS, CAR SHUTS DOWN IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY, LUCKILY, RIGHT NEXT TO A PARKING LOT AND RED LIGHT. AS ENGINE SHUT DOWN, I SUSPECTED THIS ISSUE ONCE AGAIN. I USED MOMENTUM TO TURN INTO PARKING LOT. (JUST ROLLED IN.) WIFE ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING, DIDN'T EXPLAIN UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SECURE INTO PARKING LOT AND STOP VEHICLE. ONCE AGAIN, PULLED OFF CABLE ON BATTERY, AND WAS ABLE TO RE-SET COMPUTER GLITCH. THIRD ISSUE EVENT. WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT, COULDN'T GET KEY CONTROL TO OPEN DOOR. USED EMERGENCY KEY TO OPEN DOOR, ONCE AGAIN, PULLED OFF BATTERY CABLE AND RE-SET COMPUTER. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPUTER WITHOUT A DOUBT.

ENGINE SPUTTERS OR STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF AT ONE OF THE FIRST INTERSECTIONS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. IT PUT ME IN DANGER, BECAUSE IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME IN 2015. THE DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE FOR THE TIME THE VAN WAS LAST FILLED UP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE TIPM MODULE IN IT. I FIRST HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE KEY FOB AND FINALLY THE TIPM MODULE. LOOKING BACK THAT ALL OF THE FIRST REPAIRS TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM. WE HAD ALWAYS NOTICED THAT AT TIMES THE WINDOWS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY ROLL DOWN AND THAT THE ELECTRIC DOORS WOULD SUDDENLY OPEN UP. WE NEVER QUITE KNEW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL NOW. WE REPLACED THE TIPM AND IT WORKED FINE. AFTER SPENDING 800 DOLLARS THAT I DIDN'T REAL NEED TO THE TIPM WAS ANOTHER 1000 DOLLARS. I'VE SEEN THE LAWSUIT THAT IS ON GOING RELATED TO THE VERY SAME PROBLEM I HAD IN THE GRAND CHEROKEES AND THE DODGE DURANGOS. MY VEHICLE IS LIST IN THE ADDENDUM TO THE LAWSUIT. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED I HAD TO SPEND FIRST 800 DOLLARS THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THEN THE1000 DOLLARS KNOWING THEY HAVEN'T HAD A RECALL YET AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, WHEELS
PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEPT 2013, IMMEDIATELY THE SECOND ROW, PASSENGER-SIDE SEATBEALT DOES NOT PROPEL BACK. THE SELLER OF THE VEHICLE, DIRECTED ME TO A MECHANIC TO REPAIR IT BUT SHORTLY AFTER IT OCCURED AGAIN. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, THE FUSE/MOTOR ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT JUST STOPPED AND THE SEAT IS UNABLE TO BE ADJUSTED. LAST WEEK, WENT FOR REPAIRS TO FRONT WHEEL BEARING (TIRE POPPED DIRECTLY OFF) AND WAS ADVISED THE REAR WHEEL BEARING WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. CANNOT TELL IF ANY OF THESE ARE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS.
