Consumer Description
Purchased a 2015 jeep grand Cherokee. At around 65k miles vehicle started making a ticking sound. Vehicle was also stalling when accelerating from a stop, usually when making a right turn but also when trying to press gas to gain speed quickly like when entering the highway. There is a known issue with this model where the rocker arm fails and damages the cam shaft. Engine light went on so contacted the dealer and Brought the car in for a recall repair. I drove out of the dealership and the engine light went back on. Brought the jeep back and was told engine issue wasn’t covered under warranty and repairs would cost $5k. I’m contacting the DMV automotive facilities inspector to file a complaint on the dealership and will be contacting a lawyer regarding a class action lawsuit unless I get a resolution to this issue. I drive my 3 small children around every day in this car.
