2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Problems

Your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee has stalled without warning at least four times in 2025, leaving you with no engine power and no power steering while driving. When this happens, you cannot steer the vehicle and are stuck until you restart the engine after about 30 seconds. This is particularly dangerous in traffic situations. The issue may be related to a fuel pump relay problem that was supposedly fixed under a previous 2019 recall, suggesting that earlier repair may not have resolved the underlying issue.

Your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee has stalled without warning twice while driving — once at 15 mph in August 2025 and again at 45 mph in traffic in October 2025 — with no warning lights or messages beforehand. You've also experienced intermittent starting problems over the past 6 months, particularly in the morning. Your Jeep has already been repaired twice under fuel pump relay recalls, but the stalling problem has returned, suggesting the previous repair may not have fully resolved the issue.

My vehicle stalls a lot when driving. At first i thought it was an issue with the tire alignment but i was told by a mechanic that i had good alignment. My car stalls and shakes a lot while speeding up in the highway. I honestly feel unsafe at this point because its gotten worse in a short amount of time. My seatbelts are lose and useless. I love my car but i may change it for a safer option. It is definitely dangerous to go anywhere but it is my only car i have.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the dashboard was wrinkled. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

The camshaft has gone bad and unnatural wear to the lifters has caused the issue. Also, after researching the design of the engine, it is obvious that there is a design flaw. The camshaft does not receive sufficient oil in order to be lubricated due to its location in the engine. The vehicle only has 114,000 miles. It has been taken care of, and received the normal maintenance according to the owners manual. This particular version of the hemi engine has such failures well documented by multiple sources. Such an issue and malfunction attributes to premature engine failure. Such a significant engine design flaw can potentially cause injury to all occupants in the vehicle.

Oil pressure sensor code P0522. The engine oil pressure sensor fails before and after oil changes. This causes the oil temperature to sporadically increase and decrease psi drastically from 20 to 110 psi and vice versa. This has been confirmed with multiple OBD2 sensors along with the check engine light constantly on.

The contact owned a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she noticed a fuel odor throughout the vehicle. The contact then stated that the hood of the vehicle started to catch fire. The contact was able to navigate the vehicle off the road. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The fire department was notified, and the fire was extinguished. A fire report was filed. The contact suffered an asthma attack that required medical attention. The dealer was notified of the failure and the vehicle was towed by the dealer to a tow lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had an emissions test scheduled and failed due to the check engine warning light. The contact stated that the vehicle engine was idling roughly. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the number two cylinder had been misfiring and needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic referred the contact to a dealer where she had been advised that there had been a manufacturer recall associated with the VIN, however, the recall warranty had expired. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The contact stated that they were never notified of the extended warranty for the vehicle.

I did the fuel pump relay recall and the problem that it was supposed to fix isn’t fixed.I’ll be driving along and the jeep will stall as I’m driving when turning off the highway and exit ,the power steering and power brakes cut out I pull over put the jeep in park and it starts right up.Then it’s ok for a couple of weeks and it happens again no engine light or close faults . Jeep needs to correct this problem as it is very dangerous

My 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 5.7 hemi has had all recalls and the one for fuel pump relay V62/NHTSA 19V-813 completed Aug 2021. It is still shutting off while driving with no warning. This has occurred 3 times since August with the most recent being on Dec 26th 2021 in Leesburg Va. Stalls while driving causing the power steering to not function as well as the brakes. This engine power turns off randomly at around 10-15 mph (when making turns, stopping and/or decelerating) but there are no warning lights that appear on the dash. All electrical power to the car still functions and the engine stall is not noticeable until applying pressure to the brakes or trying to steer the wheels. Once i get the vehicle manually stopped and put the gear shift in Park, hit the start button, the vehicle starts up every time and will run for weeks or months before it happens again. Very dangerous. This recall needs to be reconsidered as this did not solve the issue. Matter of time before it is involved in a crash.. Taking to dealership tomorrow 27th or 28th. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I went to the dealership and was informed the fuel pump relay recall is not available. My Jeep Has been misfiring, stalling, vibrating, and I am smelling gas fumes when I drive.

Purchased this vehicle used 11/13/2019 and was advised of a fuel pump relay recall (V62). It's now Sept 8th 2021 and I've still not been advised by my dealer that parts are available. They claim that they're only able to order one recall kit/week.

I purchased my vehicle Aug., 16, 2018. While driving the vehicle will shut off and loss of all power occurs. It is extremely frightening and dangerous. I know there has been a recall for this issue and when I look up my vehicle under recalls it is showing that all recalls have been taken care of. The dealership has never solved the issue I have and it continues to happen. What do I do in a situation like this? This has been going on since I purchased the vehicle several times on several different occasions. After looking up the carfax report I've realized this vehicle has had a problem with shutting off while driving since it was new.

Lifter & camshaft failed while driving on the highway The engine response failed while driving & just about caused an a car pile up on the highway, all while dumping fuel out of exhaust! The dealer knows about the the flaw with the 100,000+ with the same issue, will not fix it unless owner pays over 4K+ & will not address the extremely hazardous issue. The independent Service place says it’s a flaw from the production & that Jeep knows but won’t resolve it, unless owner pays.

RECEIVED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) P006D WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. CAUSE WAS A FAULTY OEM FILTER HOUSING W/ COOLER 636463. SAFETY RISK IS WHILE THIS ERROR WAS ACTIVATED NO OTHER ENGINE PROBLEM WOULD BE REPORTED TO THE DRIVER. REPLACEMENT COST $953.76. SERVICE STATION STATED MANY OF THESE FAILURES ARE BEING REPORTED AT THIS TIME. CURRENTLY JEEP DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS FAILURE.

THE V62 RECALL DID NOT WORK FOR MY JEEP. IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 3 MOS (DIDN'T STALL WHILE DRIVING) AND THEN IT STALLED EXITING THE HIGHWAY. IN THE PAST YEAR I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, MULTIPLE 'FIXES' FOR THIS RECALL AND IT STILL STALLS.

ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON BLINKS AND CAR STARTS TO SHAKE HAD DEALER LOOK INTO ENGINE. THEY STATED THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I OWNED THE JEEP. THE CAR CAN STALL AT ANY MINUTE AND JUST SHUTOFF. DRIVING ON CITY STREETS ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS FOR A FEW MINUTES THE GOES SOLID FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES OFF ONLY TO RESTART THE PROCESS CAR ALWAYS SHAKES AND MAKES NOISES.

DESPITE RECALL V62 BEING 'FIXED' BY JEEP DEALERSHIP, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE IN MOTION. OFTEN TIMES WHILE TURNING EITHER ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY. AFTER MULTIPLE STALLS I STARTED KEEPING A LOG OF WHEN AND WHERE THEY OCCUR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED FOR SOME SCARY SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY AND APPROACHING INTERSECTIONS. THE RECALL FUEL PUMP RELAY FIX HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN TRYING TO START IT. ONE NIGHT WHEN I TRIED TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE FUEL RELAY ON IT, HOWEVER I JUST BROUGHT IT BACK 2 DAYS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN, HOWEVER WHEN PICKING IT UP IT STALLED AGAIN.

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.

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.

JEEP SENT A RECALL NOTICE WITHOUT HAVING A SOLUTION ON HAND. IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL. FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SPONTANEOUSLY COME ON. I TOOK IT TO JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE SUV MOST OF THE TIME AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CHILD. JEEP IS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ON A SOLUTION TO EITHER FIX THE VEHICLE OR SUPPLY A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT UNTIL MY VEHICLE IS FIXED. PLEASE HELP!

AT APPROXIMATELY 120K MILES I BEGAN TO NOTICE A SLIGHT TICK COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE MOTOR. OVER THE NEXT 5K MILES I CHANGED THE OIL SEVERAL TIMES, SWAPPED PLUGS, COIL PACKS AND INJECTORS TO RULE OUT ANY POTENTIAL ISSUES. I ALSO DID A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE. THERE WAS ALSO A CONSISTENT HESITATION UNDER MEDIUM TO HEAVY THROTTLE INPUT. I'M NOW AT 126K MILES AND HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - P0303 FOR CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. I HAVE STARTED DISASSEMBLING THE MOTOR AND NOTICED THE LIFTER HAS SEIZED AND STARTED DESTROYING THE CAMSHAFT.

VEHICLE STALLS UPON IGNITION. IT WILL SOMETIMES NOT START AGAIN FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. THE START PROBLEMS ARE WORSENING AS TIME PASSES. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS.

VEHICLE HAS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES SHOWING UP BUT HAS STALLED ON US SEVERAL TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT TWICE NOW. ALSO PULSATES AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 AND AGAIN AT 60MPH. SINCE THE LAST STALL IT NOW HAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE. WE HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT RECALL AND THEY STATE YES THERE IS ONE BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST KEEP DRIVING WITH THESE SAFETY ISSUES ? VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE AFTER DRIVING COMING TO A STOP AT LIGHT. WE LOSE STEERING ABILITY AND BRAKING. WE ARE USUALLY GOING STRAIGHT AND ON CITY STREET OR COMING OFF FREEWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FIRST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT (280 E WASHINGTON ST, NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, MA 02760) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN APART FOR FURTHER EVALUATION TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I GO GET GAS TO FILL MY CAR UP AND WHEN I'M DONE I GO TO START THE THE JEEP UP IT STARTS UP THEN CUTS BACK OFF LIKE 2-3 TIMES!

ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON US HIGHWAY 101 ON 11/7/19; FORTUNATELY NO CRASH OCCURRED. WE TOOK INTO MECHANIC AT JEEP SANTA MARIA; THEY HAD IT ALL WEEK FROM 11/8/19 TO 11/15/19 AND SAID IT WAS FINE. IT APPEARS THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY PART THAT WAS INSTALLED PURSUANT TO A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT FCA HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING SINCE 2018. WE ARE ANXIOUS TO HAVE THIS OPEN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:19V813000 RESOLVED ASAP.

THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY STOPS RUNNING WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT NOW IS HAPPENING ALMOST DAILY. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AT THIS POINT AS THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW CLOSE CALLS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE DEALER SAYS JEEP IS WORKING ON IT BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION. IT'S BEEN MONTHS WITH "NO SOLUTION". THIS IS DANGEROUS! THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ACCIDENT. SURELY JEEP CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, GRAY SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL THE INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (FUEL PUMP). THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED TO WAIT ON THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP; HOWEVER, IT MAY NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

CHRYSLER MADE A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON NOV 14, 2019. ON NOV 18, 2019 MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND DID SO NUMEROUS TIME DURING THE WEEK. LUCKILY, I WAS NEVER ON THE HIGHWAY WENT IT HAPPENED. I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL JAN 2020. I COULD NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE IN THAT CONDITION, SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM OF THIS AND THEY SAID TO JUST SUBMIT THE PROOF OF THE SERVICE. HOWEVER, WHEN I DID SUBMIT THE PROOF THEY DECLINED IT STATING CHRYSLER HAD NOT UPDATED THE RECALL AND THERE WERE NO PARTS. I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND LOST POWER SECONDS LATER. THE CONTACT HAD TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RETURN TO NORMAL. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MITCHELL CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (416 HOPMEADOW ST, SIMSBURY, CT 06070, (860) 408-6005) WHERE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THE CYLINDER WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LIFTER AND CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 167,000.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHIN MINUTES OF STARTING WHILE STATIONARY

TICKING SOUND FROM PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST HEADER WHEN COLD . POSSIBLE GASKET OR HEADER CRACK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 7/21/19 AND MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S ENGINE SEIZED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND NOW JEEP HAS A 2 MONTH WAITING LIST FOR THE HEMI MOTOR (WHICH APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR - THAT IS WHY THE WAITING LIST IS SO LONG). IT WILL BE OVER $8000 TO FIX AND I STILL OWE ON THE LOAN FOR THE CAR THAT I HAVE HAD LESS THAN 3 YEARS. IF HEMI MOTORS ARE A PROBLEM, JEEP SHOULD MAKE THEM WITH V6 NOT THE HEMI V8 MOTORS. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AS OF NOW. I AM STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND A LARGE LOAN FOR A USELESS JEEP THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. IT HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT. WHY IS JEEP ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE IF THEY ARE SUCH ISSUES. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON HEMI ENGINES IN JEEPS? THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO CALL JEEP CORPORATE THEY CLAIM THEY RETURN CALLS ONCE A WEEK (WHICH THEY DON'T) AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS TOLD ME "THING HAPPEN". THIS IS A TERRIBLE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS AND AS A JEEP OWNER FOR MANY MANY YEARS I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN. HOPEFULLY THIS HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT THEY WILL NEED TO DO A RECALL AND I CAN RECOUP SOME OF MY MONEY BACK.

AFTER FAILING INSPECTION IT WAS IN SHOP 6 WEEKS FOR REPAIR BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED! IT MISSES MORE THAN EVER, MOST OFTEN DURING IDLE & HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING AT TIMES & YOU CAN SMELL GAS SOMETIMES MAKING ME FEAR IT WILL CATCH FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (419) 877-7712) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 95,000 MILES. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT THE CONTACT HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE DEALER AGAIN. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND FOUND THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHEN GETTING OFF THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY MY TRUCK CUTS OFF WHEN I EXIT FOR MY STOP NO POWER OR CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING.

PUSH BUTTON START DOES NOT WORK. FUEL PUMP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT ON A FREEWAY. WILL NOT START WHILE STATIONARY. I HAVE TO TAP THE FUEL PUMP IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (4145 ATLANTA HWY, ATHENS, GA 30606, (706) 549-7555) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, ATF (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THERE WERE MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE, CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,705. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKING FROM ~35MPH TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE CAR JUST STALLS WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF ISSUE. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. ALL ELECTRONICS STILL FUNCTIONAL. COAST TO TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FIGHTING THE HEAVY STEERING TO AVOID CARS IN THE ON COMING LANE, PLACE IN PARK PRESS BRAKE PEDAL AND HIT START BUTTON, AND THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP. DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP (PRIME JEEP IN SACO, MAINE). STEERING MODULE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR (AUGUST 2018) AS THE SUPPOSED CAUSE FOR THIS EXACT STALLING PROBLEM THAT WAS HAPPENING LAST YEAR.

ENGINE FAILURE. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP AND THEY'RE SAYING I NEED TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE THE 5.7L HEMI WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY SLOWING DOWN FROM A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I D ID NOT EVEN KNOW THE ENGINE WAS OFF UNTIL I TRIED TO TURN AND HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WAS STILL ON. I HAD TO PUT MY JEEP IN PARK THEN START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE WEEK. I AM TERRIFIED WHILE DRIVING NOW THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2018 AND HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE. HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2015 #15V-115 TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH COULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. SERVICE WAS DONE PER THE RECALL. HAVE AN ACTIVE CASE WITH JEEP (FIAT) BUT THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP AND KEEP SENDING US THE JEEP DEALER. DIAGNOSTICS HAVE BEEN DONE 3 TIMES TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40MPH. HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING STRAIGHT AND WHILE TURNING. THE RADIO STAYS ON AND NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD.

YESTERDAY MY JEEP ENGINE TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM DINNER. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON CITY ROADS EITHER BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, AS I TAKE THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR WORK. CONINCIDENTSLLY BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. I DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, BUT NOTICED BECAUSE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THE RADIO, DASH AND INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER FLICKERED OR TURNED OFF WHEN THE INGINE STALLED. AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS NOT AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY COME TO A STOP WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE VERY SLOW TO REACT. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND STARTED IT RIGHT UP BOTH TIMES. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND PANIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL GRINDING SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED SHARP MOTOR COMPANY (FORD DEALER) OF TENNESSEE (1516 W COLLEGE ST, PULASKI, TN 38478, (931) 363-2533) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE SERVICED BECAUSE A RECALL DID NOT APPEAR ON NHTSA.GOV. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED & NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THE RECALLS COME ROLLING IN BUT HAD A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE AT 132,000 MILES OK CONTACTED DEALERSHIP & IT WAS FIXED, BUT FOUND OUT THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AMONGST FINDING OUT THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED FROM THE FACTORY. I'M NOW 161,334 MILES & HAVE A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE AGAIN. IF IT FAILS COMPRESSION TEST AGAIN THIS WILL BE A 3RD TIME THE HEAD HAS FAILED & I'M PAST JEEP'S EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER IT. APPARENTLY JEEP HAS NOT FIXED THEIR FLAW. IT SPITS AN SPUTTERS, IDLES ROUGH SOMETIMES & I ALWAYS DO MY MAINTENANCE WHEN IT'S NEEDED. IT DOES IT WHEN I'M MOSTLY PARKED BUT I CAN FEEL IT WHEN I'M STOPPED & IDLING.

THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE OPERATING AND DOES NOT TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO RESTART. THIS PREVENTS A QUICK REACTION TO BEING STALLED WHEN SLOWING TO ENTER OR EXIT AT AN INTERSECTION. ON MOST OCCASIONS, THE CAR WILL NOT START AND CONTINUES TO CRANK WHEN EITHER USING THE PUSH START, MANUAL KEY FOB, OR AUTO START. IT CANNOT BE MOVED ONCE STALLED. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART TOO QUICKLY OR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT WILL FLOOD. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS INCLUDED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SAME BEHAVIOR IS EXPERIENCED AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. TO PROVIDE HISTORY OF FAILED RECALLS, THE BRAKE SHIELD RECALL WAS CORRECTED BY TWO SEPERATE RECALLS AND WAS ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT PREVENTS DRIVER CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPING. THE STALLING OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR STOPPING, AND WHEN PERFORMING STRONG TURNS. THESE TYPES OF TURNS ARE DONE FREQUENTLY AT INTERSECTIONS WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO ESCAPE THE DANGER.

THE VEHICLE HAS NOW HAD IT'S 3RD WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT, JEEP HAS PUT A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE WATER PUMP'S FOR THE 13-17 MODEL YEARS AND I HAVE A 2012 WITH THE SAME EFFECTED PART AND JEEP REFUSE'S TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW ITS A PROBLEM, THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION IS X73 FROM JEEP.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, BUT DECELERATING FROM HIGHER SPEED TO A STOP OR LOWER SPEED. ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING/DASH LIGHTS COME ON EVERYTHING ELSE (RADIO, LIGHTS) CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE ENGINE IS NO LONGER RUNNING IS THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DON'T WORK AND THE RPM ON THE TACHOMETER GO TO ZERO. CAR TYPICALLY WILL RE-START WITH NO ISSUE, BUT WILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STOP AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, IT'LL START RIGHT UP AND DRIVE FINE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PATTERN, OTHER THAN SLOWING DOWN. IT'S STALLED ON ME THE FOLLOWING TIMES AND SITUATIONS: * SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY - WAS RAINING, STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER STALL RAN FINE (2014) * SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, WOULD RESTART, BUT NOT STAY RUNNING. WAITED 20 MINUTES FOR TOWTRUCK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. (2016) * SLOWING TO A STOP FOR LIGHT IN TOWN, STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT WOULD NOT REMAIN RUNNING, WAITED 20 MINUTES RAN FINE (2016) * STALLED IN STOPPED TRAFFIC. STARTED RIGHT UP WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A PARKING LOT BUT STALLED AGAIN AND WOULD NOT RESTART FOR 15-20 MINUTES. RAN FINE ONCE STARTED AGAIN. (2017) * STALLED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON I-95 IN PHILADELPHIA. STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN, BUT HAD TO WAIT 20 MINUTES FOR IT TO REMAIN RUNNING (03/2018) * STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP FOR STOP SIGN. WOULDN'T START RIGHT UP. HAD TO WAIT 15-20 MINUTES THEN IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. (09/29/2018) HAVE TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALER ON THE THREE EARLIER OCCASIONS, HOWEVER, THEY INDICATE THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION AND THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES TO REVIEW - THEREFORE THEY ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS IS, BUT AFTER THE LAST TWO TIMES OF THIS OCCURRING I MUST REMEDY THE ISSUE. ASSISTANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

ENGINE FAILING WHILE DRIVING BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REMOVE VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD TO AVOID CRASH. ISSUE IS THE ENGINE ROD BEARING FAILURE. RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE CAME OUT IN 2011 BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V487000

UPON DOING REGULAR OIL CHANGE THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER CRACKED AND THE SPRING CAME OUT. THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER NOW REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THERE IS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER. REFERENCE #09-003-13 * DATE OF ISSUE = 10/26/13

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE HOME, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED MONROEVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP AT (412) 856-1422 (LOCATED AT 3651 WILLIAM PENN HWY, MONROEVILLE, PA 15146) AND WAS ADVISED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE BATTERY IN THE KEY DIED. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUME WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS. CONSUMER WOULD ALSO LIKE TPIM REPLACED ALONG WITH ALL VEHICLE RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLE REPAIRED. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED A/C NOT WORKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH UNKNOWN PARTS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES, BOTH ENGINE MOUNTS FAILED. THE PROBLEM PRESENTED AS A ROUGH IDLE CONDITION BUT WAS ACTUALLY THE MOTOR MOUNTS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN EXHAUST LEAK.

8 TIMES SINCE NEW AND 3 TIMES SINCE ITS LAST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, OUR JEEPS ENGINE WILL CUT OUT, 6 TIMES WERE WHEN LIFTING OFF THE THROTTLE WHEN EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TWICE WHERE IN TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH, AND NO CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER. SINCE THIS IS COMPLETELY RANDOM THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, ALL WITH NO HELP. WE JUST DROPPED IT OFF AGAIN AND TOLD THEM WE DO NOT WANT IT BACK UNLESS IT IS FIXED.

STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE TO THE CONSUMER FOR THE FOLLOWING RECALL. AM I DRIVING A TIME BOMB? MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERT36 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V-435 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARY THE ALTERNATOR MAY EXPERIENCE DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO CYCLICAL LOADS INDUCED BY ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING.

REMEDY THE ALTERNATOR PART NUMBER MUST BE INSPECTED ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES. VEHICLES FOUND WITH THE SUSPECT ALTERNATOR WILL HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A NEW ALTERNATOR CONTAINING IMPROVED DIODES ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED, FLASHED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (ZEIGLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, 208 W GOLF RD, SCHAUMBURG, IL 60195) AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE FAILED PARTS, BUT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY AND HE WOULD BE REIMBURSED AT A LATER DATE THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

2012 ALTITUDE. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS, NO GLITCHES IN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR ANYTHING. THE ONLY WAY I KNOW THE ENGINE CUTS OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, EASE ON THE BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON, AND THEN WHEN IT RESTARTS I SHIFT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF. LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE NO GLITCHES IN THE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. NO CODES OR ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I BOUGHT IT IN SEPT 2016 AND ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP ABOUT 9 TIMES. THEY CANT EVEN GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN, LET ALONE FIX IT. I EMAILED THE JEEP AND FIAT CEOS FOR A PAPER TRAIL IN CASE I GOT INTO A WRECK- WANTED TO COVER MY ***- AND THEY RESPONDED. THEY SAID THEY'D PAY FOR MY RENTAL CAR EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY JEEP IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS ISSUE. SO THAT HAS LIMITED ME TO BRINGING IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY ARE GIVING ME A NUMBER TO ALLOW ME TO PURCHASE A NEW JEEP AT EMPLOYEE COST, BUT, CONSIDERING I BOUGHT A 2012 IN 2016, I CAN'T AFFORD A 2017 MODEL. I'D HAVE TO SACRAFICE A LOT OF MY CURRENT OPTIONS TO TRY TO FIND A VEHICLE PRICED TO MAINTAIN MY CURRENT PAYMENTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM ALL SPEEDS. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70MPH, 30MPH, AND EVEN AFTER I CAME TO A RED LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND GOT NOTHING... THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE NOTICED, AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE I REALLY NOTICED THIS, BUT IF I'M DRIVING HARD, AND GO FROM FAST TO SLOW QUICKLY, BUT NOT SLAMMING ON MY BRAKES, KIND OF LIKE FLYING DOWN THE STREET AND THEN THE LIGHT TURNS SO YOU GOTTA COME TO A STOP SOON. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE. I'M NOT EVEN SURE THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE AFTERMARKET HIDS INSTALLED (DDM TUNING WITH CANBUS PLUS OR WHATEVER IT IS) HOWEVER, IT'S HAPPENED DAY OR NIGHT, LIGHTS ON AND LIGHTS OFF.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ABOVE VEHICLE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO SEAVIEW JEEP IN OCEAN NJ I WAS ADVISED THAT THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT IS SEPTEMBER 15. MY CONCERN IS THAT YOUR RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT "AN INTERMITTENT OR FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING." WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER (800-992-1997) I WAS ADVISED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE THAT THE CAR WAS "MORE LIKELY NOT TO START" AND "YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE SERVICE SCHEDULE OF THE DEALERSHIP". MY QUESTION/CONCERN/COMPLAINT IS THAT HOW CAN YOU SEND OUT A RECALL THAT CLEARLY STATES THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING YET MAKE SOMEONE WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE APPOINTMENT. MY EXPECTATION WOULD BE THAT FOR A SAFETY CONCERN SUCH AS THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THE RECALL TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN YOU CLEARLY STATE A CRASH COULD OCCUR PLEASE ADVISE HOW THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED. THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED.

THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,900.

THIS ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE MISSES FROM TIME TO TIME. I'VE TOLD MY DEALER EACH OF THE LAST 3 TIMES I BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE OR FOR RECALLS. THEY HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SAY THAT IF RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE ON A LONGER TRIP AND IT STARTED MISSING DURING A LATE NIGHT DRIVE TO VIRGINIA. THE MISSING WAS SO BAD I WAS LOOSING POWER. I AM AWARE OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL THAT WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL, BUT ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THE PARTS ARE JUST BECOMING AVAILABLE NOW. I AM ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO DEFINITE DATE TO WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE I HAVE SYMPTOMS OF A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND EVEN MORE AFRAID TO HAVE MY CHILDREN OR MY WIFE DRIVE IT. I AM AMAZED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD I BELIEVE 5 RECALLS AND STILL FIAT CHRYSLER GETS SO MUCH TIME TO REACT AND REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE HOPED OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE HELD THE NEW ITALIAN/FIAT OWNERS OF CHRYSLER TO A HIRING STANDARD. FIATS REPUTATION FOR LOW QUALITY CARS WAS SO BAD THAT THEY HAD TO PULL OUR OF THE US AND NOW THEY ARE BACK. WHY ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING CARS WITH DEFECTS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND THEN ALLOWED TO HAVE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED SOME SERVICE UPDATES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

I HAVE RECEIVED THE #R09 15V-115 FUEL PUMP RELAY NOTICE AND CONTACTED DEALER, PARTS STILL UNAVAILABLE. EXCEEDS A REASONABLE AMOUNT FOR TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET DETERMINED A SOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FAILS TO START.

WILL NOT TURN OVER OR START. BOUGHT THIS USED WITH 26500 MILES LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT TO ME NEVER REPORTED ANY RECALLS TO THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS SIX RECALLS TO DATE AND JEEP IS SAYING THEY HAVE NO PERMANENT REPLACEMENT PARTS.

ABRUPTLY STALLING WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER, REQUIRING TO GET OFF THE ROAD, PLACE IN PARK AND RE-START. RE STARTS WITHOUT HESITATION. INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 5 DIFFERENT DATES/TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS NO FIX STATING THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. MOST RECENT DATE 06/05/2015

ON APRIL 27, 2015 I RECEIVED IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL #R09/NHTSA 14V-115 STATING THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. IN OTHER WORDS A SERIOUS POSSIBLY DEADLY CRASH COULD OCCUR FOLLOWING THE SUDDEN SHUT DOWN OF THE ENGINE AND POWER SYSTEMS. TO DATE, JEEP/CHRYSLER/FCA REPEATEDLY HAS TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND NO PROJECTED DATE FOR REPAIRS.THE DEALER WILL NOT PROVIDE A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE IN THE INTERIM. SO, I DRIVE A DEADLY VEHICLE (DEADLY FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS) FOR SOME INDETERMINATE PERIOD OF TIME. IF THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AS IT IS REPORTED TO BE, IT SHOULD BE PARKED AND THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER SHOULD PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE FIX OR AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION IS ABSURD. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THE GM IGNITION SWITCH SITUATION? APPARENTLY NOT.

I RETURNED MY SINGLE AXEL MOTORCYCLE TRAILER TO THE GRAVEL STORAGE LOT AND BACKED IT INTO IT'S SPACE. WITH THE ENGINE IDLING I PUT IT IN PARK, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER FROM THE VEHICLE. I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO IDLE IT FORWARD A COUPLE FEET TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE TRAILER HITCH FROM THE RECEIVER. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IMMEDIATELY UPON BEING PUT IN DRIVE THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO OVER 5,000 RPMS AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I TRIED TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK BUT HIT REVERSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH BACKWARDS. I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE TRANSMISSION FORWARD INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. THE INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR SECONDS. THE REAR TIRES SPUN IN THE GRAVEL CREATING 3 INCH DEEP DIVOTS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 5.7L ENGINE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR WARNING SENSOR AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE SPEED BEGAN TO DECELERATE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 241 TOLL ROAD UP A STEEP HILL GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE ENGINE DOWN SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR, THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING HIGH, THE RPM WENT HIGH, AND I LOST SPEED. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHILE I CALLED MY HUSBAND BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE. I WANTED TO LET HIM KNOW IN CASE I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE DECIDED WE WANTED TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME, IF POSSIBLE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN DRIVE AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN AND I MADE IT HOME. *TR

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE WOULD WANT START. REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE WITH IT SEEMING TO TURN OVER BUT NOT START. I HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES AND RETRY UNTIL THE ENGINE FINALLY DID START. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS SPORADIC ENGINE START ISSUE. PREVIOUSLY, I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ENGINE START ISSUE AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS. *TR

THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON 1/28/2015. THE CODES THAT WERE SET SAID THE ENGINE HAD A MISFIRE AND THE LEFT HEAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON THE ENGINE. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6 LITER V-6 PENTASTAR ENGINES. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER SAID THIS PROBLEM ONLY EXISTED IN HALF OF 1% OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. IT APPEARS THAT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND EXACTLY HOW MANY ENGINES HAVE HAD THE LEFT HEAD REPLACED. *TR

ON MY VEHICLE DEALERS WEB SITE THERE IS NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING RECALL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM THEM. THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS RECALL BEING PERFORMED. PLEASE ADVISE IF THE RECALL APPLIES TO THE SUBJECT VEHICLE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY RECORD OF IT BEING NECESSARY TO DO OR IF IT WAS DONE AT ANOTHER DEALER.

I WANT TO LAUNCH A COMPLAINT THAT TODAY MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND NOTICED MY CAR STARTED SMOKING. A POLICE OFFICER IN THE CAR BEHIND ME TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THREE SMALL POOLS OF DRIED AND WET RED FLUID THAT MAY HAVE BEEN LEAKING FROM MY HOOD AND BE IN SOMEWAY RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN SOME TYPE OF RECALL OR COMPLAINT LINKED TO RED FLUID AND ENGINE FIRES. THANK YOU. *TR

BOUGHT JEEP NEW ON 12/2012. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK, TOOK IT TO AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO COMPUTER AND IT READ CYLINDER 4 MISFIRING. CALLED JEEP DEALER AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE CYLINDER HEAD AND WILL REPLACE. THIS MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED TO SEE SO MANY OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WASN'T EVEN GIVEN A LOANER CAR WHILE REPAIR WAS DONE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES ON CAR, SHOULDN'T NEED EXTENDED WARRANTY!! MAYBE JEEP IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CHEROKEE INTO DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE JEEP WAS LOOKED AT AND THE LEAD MECHANIC PROCEEDED TO TELL ME IT WOULD NEED A CYLINDER HEAD. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP ON 11/7/11 AND COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING. AFTER READING MANY FORUMS AND CHRYSLER'S COMMENTS; WHICH THEY DON'T TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CRITICAL ISSUE BY PUTTING SOME FAULT ON THE CUSTOMER. BRAND NEW VEHICLE WHICH I PAID A GOOD AMOUNT FOR AND AFTER 20,000 YOU HAVE TO RIP MY TRUCK APART AND NOW I HOPE FOR THE BEST. I FEEL THIS IS JUST A BAND AIDE TO COVER THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS 3.6-L ENGINE. TO ME NOW IT'S AS IF I BOUGHT IT USED. IF I TRY TO TRADE THE JEEP IN I'M SURE IT HAS DEPRECIATED AND THE SAME IF I WAS TO SELL TO A PRIVATE OWNER. I TRULY FEEL I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY CHRYSLER AND TO PAY THAT AMOUNT FOR A VEHICLE WHICH CLEARLY HAS MECHANICAL PROBLEMS, WELL TO ME, THAT IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. I KNOW FIRES UNDER THE HOOD ARE BEING INVESTIGATED, I AM VERY CONCERNED ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I THINK MY CHEROKEE SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CHEROKEE BY CHRYSLER DUE TO THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM RETURNING AFTER ANOTHER 20,000 OR 25,000 MILES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THIS VEHICLE HAS RECURRING STARTING ISSUES. AT ANY TIME, COLD OR WARM ENGINE THE IGNITION WOULD ENGAGE AND THE ENGINE FAILS TO START. SERVICE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY SPECIFIC REASON WHY THIS OCCURS. ON JANUARY 8TH, THE SAME STARTING ISSUE OCCURRED AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP HAS IDENTIFIED A BAD CYLINDER HEAD. THERE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS ARE REPLACEMENT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. SERVICE DEALERSHIP STATED THE STARTING ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE CYLINDER HEAD. THEY STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN AN EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE STARTING ISSUE. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY STATED THE CYLINDER HEAD ISSUE IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V487000. UPON REVIEWING THIS CAMPAIGN IT STATES THE ?ENGINE REQUIRES REPLACEMENT?. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH A CYLINDER REPAIR AND A PROBABLE FIX OF THE STARTING ISSUE WERE THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IS ONLY 29K. I AGREE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY POWERS DOWN. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND WE LOOSE ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES BOTH AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AND OPERATE NORMALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES. OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS THREE ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. JEEP BELIEVES THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (WIRING FROM TIPM TO FUEL PUMP) BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE BASED ON PAST REPAIR HISTORY. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE TO BE A DANGER TO ME, MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION 2012 THE COMPUTER IS IN TROUBLE AND MID FIRE TWO CYLINDER MISS FIRING THAT WAS HAPPENED DATE 12/04/12. NOW THERE IS A DIFFERENT TROUBLE AGAIN HAPPENED 10/12/13 AND THEN IT TAKES TWO MONTHS FOR THE SPARE PARTS TO COME OUT. THE PROBLEM IS IT WONT START. I DON'T WHAT GONNA BE THE NEXT. THE SERVICE WILL TAKE FOR SO LONG JUST IMAGINE 2MONTHS TIME. IM EXPECTING FOR ANOTHER TROUBLE WIT THIS. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER WITH 14,500 MILES ON IT. STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR, 36000 MILE WARRANTY. STARTED THE ENGINE ONLY TO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE. DROVE BYAUTOZONE AND RED THE CODE, P0304, MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 4. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND HE SENT IT TO THE JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 3 MONTHS AGO, TOOK TO DEALER SAID IT WAS NOTHING. I ASKED WHY DID IT COME ON THEY SAID IT'S JUST COMPUTERS SOME TIMES THEY HAVE TO BE RESET. ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MONDAY TOOK TO SAME DEALER. THEY SAID I HAD CYLINDER MISFIRE IN THE 6TH CYLINDER AND HAD TO REPLACE IT.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON 6/24/2013 THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) ILLUMINATED DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE CONTACT CALLED THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED THE LIGHT WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A LOOSE GAS CAP. THE DEALER INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO GIVE IT A COUPLE DAYS AND IT WOULD MOST LIKELY TURN OFF. THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER 2 DAYS. SUBSEQUENTLY ON 7/10/2013 THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING AT 50 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY CYLINDER NUMBER 2 MISFIRING IN THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FOR LUNCH AND SMELLED A VERY SHARP SCENT THAT BURNED MY THROAT AND EYES. I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS THINKING IT WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF MINE. I SAW WHITE SMOKE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THAN THE PASSENGER VISOR MELTED OFF THE CEILING AND FOLLOWED IT WAS A FIRE AT THE SIGHT OF THE VISOR HOLE. THE FIRE DRIPPED DOWN ONTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I CALLED 911 AND PULLED OVER. I RAN INSIDE AND 2 GENTLEMAN CAME OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT RIGHT AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. *TR.. UPDATED 08-20-14 *BF UPDATED 08/25/2014 *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) IS ON WITH P0300 AND P0302 CODES, EXHAUST ESCAPING #2 PISTON HEAD- CAUSING ROUGH IDLING, CEL FLASHES, AND SEVERAL STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. FOUND OUT THIS IS "COMMON" ON PENTASTAR ENGINES, AND PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE FROM CHRYSLER TO MAKE REPAIRS, AND DEALERS LET PEOPLE DRIVE THE CAR INSTEAD OF PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THESE HEADS THAT HAVE NOW BEEN REDESIGNED IN MORE CURRENT BUILDS. LETTING PEOPLE DRIVE CARS THAT CAN STALL IN MOTION IS DANGEROUS. NOT HAVING PARTS READILY AVAILABLE WHEN THEY ARE HAVING 300 TO 400 OF THESE FAILURES A WEEK IS RIDICULOUS. THE ATTACHED LINK SHOWS THAT CHRYSLER HAD THIS PART SHORTAGE SINCE LAST SUMMER, AND IS NOT MEETING THE DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENTS EVEN NOW.

TURNED ONTO STATE HIGHWAY WHEN ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE SEIZURE NOISE AND TEMPERATURE MOVED TOWARD H WITH SHAKING AND LOST POWER FROM ENGINE. I PUT ON EMERGENCY BLINKERS, REMOVED FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR, TAPPED BRAKES, WITH NOISE CONTINUING, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN WITH NO POWER OCCURRING. I DRIFTED SLOWING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A FEW HUNDRED FEET, TURNED ONTO A SIDE ROAD, WITH VIOLENT ENGINE SEIZURE NOISE CONTINUING AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I GOT VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER TO BE CHECKED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I HIGHLY SUSPECT ENGINE DEBRIS CAUSED THIS VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT.

WE PURCHASED A NEW JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 5 MILES ON IT. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC TOLD US TO LEAVE THE CAR. IT'S 5 DAYS LATER AND ALL WE KNOW SO FAR IS THAT THEY HAVE REMOVED THE FRONT END OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. WE DON'T HAVE THE CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS NOT FLUSH WITH THE BODY OF THE CAR. WE ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE DOOR TO SEE IF IT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY. THEY OFFERED TO HAVE THE BODY SHOP BEND THE DOOR. *TR

I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 APPROACHING A SIGNAL LIGHT. I LET OFF THE GAS AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AS THE LIGHT WAS RED. AS I LET OFF THE GAS, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV HIGHER AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE I HAD TO APPLY IT HARDER AND HARDER AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV EVEN HIGHER. I BEGAN TO SMELL THE BRAKES BURNING AS THEY TRIED TO HOLD THE CAR BACK. FORTUNATELY I HAD THE FORESIGHT TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. IT CONTINUED TO REV FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN WENT DOWN TO NORMAL. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY CONTACTED THE DETROIT TECHNICAL BUREAU AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT, OR MY FOOT, ETC, ETC BUT CLAIMED THEY HAD NO OTHER REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING. I DON'T HAVE CARPETS AS I OPTED FOR THE RUBBER MATS AND THEY SIT TIGHT TO THE FLOOR. AND MY FOOT WAS NOT STUCK ON THE GAS. I WAS CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND NOT THE GAS AS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON. THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT AND DID COMPUTER CHECKS AND HAD NO EXPLANATION. THE SERVICE REP SAID THE RESPONSE FROM THE TECHNICAL BUREAU WOULD BE "INSULTING TO ME". THE DEALER WAS BRADSHAW JEEP IN WATERTOWN, CT AND THE SERVICE REP WAS VICTOR. I WROTE THIS OUT ON THE SERVICE ORDER AND KEPT A COPY. *TR
