ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A DEFECT ON CYLINDER# 2 APPARENTLY THERE WAS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT. MY LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER IN DRIVE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, STILL DOES, AND NOW THE ENGINE IS STARTING TO RUN ROUGH, AFTER MORE AND MORE RESEARCH COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS NEVER A RECALL BUT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PUT OUT BY CHRYSLER 10 YRS OR 150,000 MILES. JUST FOUND THIS OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I HAVE 152,000, SO THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT CYLINDER 2 WAS AN ISSUE IN 2017 I HAVE DOCUMENTATION WHERE MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WHEN IT HAD 95,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT WAS WASN'T A DEALERSHIP SO THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT. ITS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $4,000-$6,000 TO GET IT FIXED, NOT SURE WHY IT HAS TO BE DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTATION , I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN HIDING THIS FROM CONSUMERS TO SAVE MONEY AND LET THE CONSUMER TAKE THE FALL FOR A DEFECT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF. WHY CANT THIS BE RECALLED? REGARDLESS OF MILES, VERY DISGRUNTLED WITH CHRYSLER FOR PUTTING OUT PRODUCTS THAT HAVE ISSUES, I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO EVERY RECALL IT HAS HAD AND ITS BEEN ABOUT 5 OF THEM. I LOVE THE JEEP BUT THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL OF JEEP HAS MANY ISSUES WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE THESE ISSUES IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE RECALLED?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO I PULLED OVER AT AN ADVANCED AUTO AND HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED. THIS WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY THAT I HAD JUST REPLACE 3 MONTHS EARLIER HAD A BAD CELL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I HAD IT REPLACED AND THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE TO TEST THE ALTERNATOR. AT THAT POINT MY ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTED. THEY SAID MY ALTERNATOR WASNT CHARGING ENOUGH AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TO STOP THE ALTERNATOR FROM SMOKING. WHEN I DID THIS, MY BATTERY FELT UNUSUALLY HOT. GOT IT TESTED AND IT BLEW MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN THE STARTER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL. I REPLACED THE STARTER AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE. THE STARTER WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. AS IM READING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS SECTION THE ONLY TWO THINGS IT COULD BE IT SEEMS IS THE TIPM OR THE PCM. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. MAYBE COULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON JEEP AS IT SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT.

CONTINUING MY LAST COMPLAINT - I GO TO JEEP TO FIX MY BLUETOOTH THEY TELL ME ITS $135 (WHICH WAS NEVER MENTIONED ON THE PHONE TO ME AS I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.) I TOLD THEM I DONT HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW. THEY INSISTED I HAD TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR THE SUN VISOR RECALL WHICH I HAVEN'T DONE SO THEY TELL ME IT'LL TAKE 2.5 HOURS . I SHOULD LEAVE AND COME BACK SO THEY MAKE ME GET A RIDE WITH A RANDOM DRIVER WHO WORKS FOR THEM TO TAKE ME SOMEWHERE AND COME BACK WHEN FINISHED JUST FOR THEM TO REACH BACK OUT TO ME WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND TELL ME THEY HAD NO PARTS THEY HAD TO ORDER IT. WHICH PISSED ME OFF BECAUSE THAT WASTED MY TIME MONEY AND ENERGY WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PART WAS THERE BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW WHO KNOWS WHEN I'LL HAVE THE TIME TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2015 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY ONLY MENTIONED ONE RECALL TO ME SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR WHICH HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BREAKS. JEEP DEALERSHIPS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH BETTER SERVICE GOING BACK TO MY LUG NUTS THEY SAID THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!

THE LUG NUTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE SWOLLEN AND APPARENTLY IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP I HAD TO PAY MONEY OUT MY OWN POCKET TO BUY NEW LUG NUTS TO ROTATE MY TIRES WHICH COST OVER $200 AND WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP VIA EMAIL THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND REACH BACK TO ME IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND HAVENT HEARD FROM THEM I CONTACTED THEM 3 MORE TIMES AND NO RESPONSE. NOW I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY BLUETOOTH BEING CONNECTED TO MY PHONE IT KEEPS KICKING MY PHONE OUT I DID A RESET AND HASN'T WORKED AND JEEP DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME ITS $135 TO FIX WHICH I REFUSE IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP AND THE RADIOS THAT SHOULD BE ON RECALL AS WELL. I HAVE TO RE-PAIR MY PHONE EVERYTIME I GET BACK INTO MY CAR. THE BLUETOOTH HASN'T BEEN WORKING SINCE MAY 2019 AND MY LUG NUTS HAD TO BE REPLACED LAST YEAR AUGUST 2018. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2015 AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD 5 YEAR WARRANTY COME TO FIND OUT I HAD ONE YEAR REMAINING BECAUSE IT STARTED IN 2011 WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS MORE AND MORE WITH THESE DEALERSHIPS NOT KNOWING A THING ! THEY JUST TELL ME THEY DONT KNO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OR THAT THAT I COMPLAIN ABOUT. RIDICULOUS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT THIS 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE) STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST TWICE IN AUGUST, NUMEROUS TIMES IN SEPTEMBER, AND ALREADY TWICE THIS MONTH (OCTOBER). WHAT IS MORE CONCERNING IS THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE WARNS OF THE PENDING STALL CONDITION. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THE THERMOSTAT, LIFTERS, TAPPETS, ROCKER ARMS, CYLINDER HEAD, SPARK PLUGS, AND IGNITION COILS REPLACED AND PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KOONS TYSONS CORNER). THE DEALER CANNOT READ ANY ACTIVE OR STORED CODES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SHOP FOREMAN ADVISED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. I ORDERED THE $540.00 FUEL PUMP AND HAD REPLACED ON MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 2019 FOR AN ADDITIONAL $630.00. IRONICALLY ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE STALLED GOING HOME AND THE FUEL PUMP REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE ADVISOR NOW SAY THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE PCM AND THEN THE TIPUM IF ALL ELSE FAILS. THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL $3,000.00 IN ESTIMATED SERVICE THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THE MOST CONCERNING THING IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA, WHOM INITIALLY JUST CLOSED THE CASE. I THEN FILED ANOTHER ONE TODAY AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH A CASE MANAGER, WHICH IS PENDING (NO FAITH AT THIS POINT). IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT FCA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING."

OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE SITTING IN THE CARPORT UNDER OUR HOME UNATTENDED AND UNPOWERED ON AUGUST 25 2018. THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS SERVICED BY THE SPITZER CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER IN HOMESTEAD FLORIDA ON AUGUST 22 2018 FOR RECALL R71/NHTSA 15V-879 PLUS TWO OTHER ITEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP LATE ON FRIDAY AUGUST 24 AND DRIVEN HOME WHERE THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED UNTIL IT CAUGHT FIRE THE NEXT MORNING AROUND 1135. I HAD JUST WALKED PAST THE CAR AT AROUND 1130 AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BY 1155 WE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER OUR HOME AND I RUSHED DOWN TO FIND A BLAZING INFERNO. I CALLED 911 AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED FIGHTING THE FIRE TO PREVENT MY HOME FROM CATCHING FIRE AND BURNING DOWN. FIRE INSPECTIONS WERE COMPLETED BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL, USAA INSURANCE FIRE INSPECTOR, FCA CHRYSLER FIRE INSPECTOR, AND ZURICH INSURANCE FIRE INSPECTOR. THE RECALL AND FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY PROCESS. FCA CHRYSLER CHOOSE TO DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN BUILDING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND DEVELOPING A RECALL WHICH ONCE APPLIED MADE OUR VEHICLE MORE LIKELY TO CATCH FIRE. OUR GRAND CHEROKEE IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AFTER THE RECALL WAS APPLIED. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL FIND OTHERS THAT HAVE BURNED POST RECALL. MY INSURANCE CARRIER RELAYED TO ME THAT ONE AGENT HAD ADVISED A FRIEND NOT THE HAVE THE RECALL DONE AS SOME CARS WERE BURNING POST RECALL. WHILE FCA CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO PLACE BLAME ON THE DEALER WHO APPLIED THE RECALL THE FACTS AND OTHER INSPECTIONS DO NOT SUPPORT THAT CONCLUSION. FCA CHRYSLER HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND CONSIDERS THE CASE CLOSED AS THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE FACED WITH ANOTHER 600,000 TO 700,000 VEHICLE RECALL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OR DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. *DT*JB *DT*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THIS CAR HAS STALLED WHILE BRAKING CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH ON ONE OCCASION. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES HAPPENED 9/26/19 WHERE I HAD TO BRAKE WHILE TURNING AND ON THIS OCCASION I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR INTO A MEDIAN. EACH TIME I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER SOON AFTER FOR AN INSPECTION AND EACH TIME I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE VISIBLE AND THEIR ROAD TESTS DO NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, THE DEALER DID HOWEVER REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (I THINK AS PART OF SOME RECALL) BUT DID NOT INDICATE THIS WAS THE SPECIFIC REASON FOR MY CAR STALLING. THIS REPAIR SEEMED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE UNTIL 9/26/19 WHEN IT HAPPENED TWICE CONSECUTIVELY. I FEAR THIS IS RELATED TO THE COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I ASKED THE DEALER IF IT'S PERHAPS RELATED TO ALL THE TIPM ISSUES I'VE READ ABOUT WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND THEY SAID WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC CODES OR WITHOUT REPRODUCING THE ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN I'VE LOST CONTROL OF IT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS AND ALMOST CRASHED IT ONCE? I FEAR THAT THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE BUT I'M BEING TOLD IT'S FINE. I'D REALLY LOVE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS OR GIVE ME GUIDANCE.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE HOUSING WHICH IS A BIG RECALL PROBLEM IN JEEPS. BUT NOT THE 2011. OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2011. IT WILL COST US ALOT OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN I AM POSITIVE THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED LIKE THE OTHER YRS. A JEEP IS A JEEP. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. WE ARE NOT YOUNG PEOPLE THAT DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR CARS. WE ARE ELDERLY AND DRIVE RESPONSIBLY. OIL JUST BLOWS OUT OF THE CRACK WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR DUE TO THE LISTED RECALL IN WHICH CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE! THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSES BECAUSE I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP! I WAS IN MOTION GOING 55 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAST LANE WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO REASON. THE JEEP SERVICE TECH HAS LINKED IT BACK TO THE SAME FUEL RELAY AND THIS COULD BE A FATAL PROBLEM IF NOT FIXED. PLEASE I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MYSELF THAT COULD BE INJURED IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED ASAP!!*DT*JB CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 188,723 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS IN THE U.S. BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE POWER MODULE THAT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO "STALL WITHOUT WARNING," ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. THE SUVS ARE EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A 3.6-LITER V6 OR 5.7-LITER V8 ENGINE. "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "A VEHICLE STALL INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH." THIS IS PART OF A GLOBAL RECALL OF AN ESTIMATED 230,760 CHRYSLER SUVS, INCLUDING 15,898 IN CANADA, 7,126 IN MEXICO AND 19,013 OUTSIDE THE NAFTA REGION. CHRYSLER SAID IT IS UNAWARE OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES LINKED TO THE RECALL. IT ADDED THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, ARE AFFECTED BY THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY. THE AFFECTED SUVS WERE BUILT FROM JANUARY 5, 2010 TO JULY 20, 2011. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY WITH ONE EXTERNAL TO THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OCTOBER 24. OWNERS CAN CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.*DT*JB *DT
