2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems

WHILE DRIVING AND DECELERATION THE JEEP SHUTS OFF. NO LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER RUNNING. THE FIRST CLUE IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE MILES OF DRIVING. THE JEEP STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND THEN 99% OF THE TIME WON'T STALL AGAIN FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THIS IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT.

IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH I'M DRIVING AND THE JEEP SUDDENLY LOSES ALL ENGINE POWER, BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE NEVER ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS TO SIGNAL THIS IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THIS LAST TIME IT ALMOST MADE ME CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO TREMBLE AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN IN TRAFFIC. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW MULTI-DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM, LIFTERS, AND CYLINDERS WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS FILED; HOWEVER, A PARTS SPECIALIST WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO RESPOND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,005.

I HAVE A 5.7 HEMI IN MY JEEP. THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN, AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF OF A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A SPEED ZONE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. THE VEHICLE GIVES NO WARNING THAT IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER DID SOME DIAGNOSTICS, BUT FOUND NOTHING. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO THE 5.7 ENGINES. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING THE CAR WITH ANYONE IN IT FOR FEAR OF GETTING REAR ENDED IF IT STALLS, AND PEOPLE ARE BEHIND ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING OVER 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND THE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58148205. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS CRUISING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS.,VEHICLE COASTS TO A STOP. AFTER A 15 MINUTE WAIT, THE ENGINE STARTS AGAIN.

VEHICLE HAD A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #3. TOOK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY FOUND A ROUNDED CAMSHAFT AND BAD LIFTERS. VEHICLE HAS 104,000 ON IT AND I INQUIRED AS TO OPTIONS. #1 - $4,600 REPAIR (MIN IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE) AND THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES GETTING LIFTERS DUE TO BACK ORDER #2 - REPLACE ENGINE, QUOTED $8,600 AND ONCE AGAIN WAS UNSURE THE TIMING AS NO LONG OR SHORT BLOCKS WERE AVAILABLE. INQUIRED AS TO WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING, AS THE OWNER, I COULD'VE DONE. THAT SOMETIMES THIS JUST HAPPENS AND IF IT WAS CLOSER IN YEARS TO THE END OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD COVER, HOWEVER SINCE IT IS 7 YEARS OLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. FIND IT SURPRISING AND UNACCEPTABLE THAT WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH YOU CAN FIND THAT THE 5.7 HEMI HAS NUMEROUS...

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ARRIVING AT AN INTERSECTION, AND I DECREASE THE SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, AND THE BRAKES GET HARD. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR 3 TIMES TO THE JEEP SHOP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THIS PROBLEM STARTED 2 MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE CAR DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS ON THE SCREEN OR AFTERWARDS WHEN THEY ARE READ. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS STAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS AND HOT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN FOR A CORNER THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST BREAKS AND STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE STEERING THROUGH THE CORNER AND COASTED TO A STOP. I PUT THE JEEP IN PARK, GOT THE BREAK PEDAL AND STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK AGAIN. WHEN I LOST THE ENGINE, BREAKS AND STEERING NOTHING ELSE WAS EFFECTED. I STILL HAD LIGHTS, RADIO AND GAUGES. BUT, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODES CAME ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP MY ENGINE LOCKED UP. MY MECHANIC SAID MY ENGINE IS NOT GOOD.I HAVE NO COVERAGE ANY MORE.

PURCHASED VEHICLE 12-15-18. SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED INTERMITTENTLY (3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS) AT STOPS WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS APPEARING ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FIRST TIME, I WASN'T EVEN AWARE THE ENGINE CUT OUT UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE STARTS BACK UP, BUT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR IMMEDIATELY. IN ONE INSTANCE, IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO GO INTO GEAR. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED (PAULY TOYOTA- CRYSTAL LAKE, IL.) WHO RECOMMENDED BRINGING IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP. BROUGHT TO CRYSTAL LAKE, IL CRYSLER JEEP DODGE WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AS NO FAULTS APPEARED UNDER TEST. FLUIDS WERE CLEAN, AND AT PROPER LEVELS. WAS TOLD TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL CONDITION REAPPEARED, AND IT WOULD BE REINVESTIGATED. THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE TYPE STALLING, EXCEPT THAT SO FAR, IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT...

BOTH MUFFLERS HAVE RUSTED AND HAVE HOLES IN THEM. MY JEEP IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, NEVER DRIVEN ON THE BEACH, WASHED REGULARLY AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WE BOUGHT IT 10/31/11 STRAIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH 6MILES ON IT. NOTICED THIS TODAY 12/25/18 DUE TO PUDDLES ON THE GARAGE FLOOR.

TICKING FROM LEFT CYLINDER HEAD AND MINOR TICK FROM RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD. CHRYSLER ADMITS TO HAVING A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN VEHICLE AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD. IF THERE IS A COMPRESSION ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE STALLS IN THE ROADWAY COULD BE A FATAL MISTAKE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN ALL VEHICLES INCLUDED WITH THE RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD. OR RECALL THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION COOLER IS LEAKING. NO WARNING, JUST FLUID ON THE GROUND - SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ONLINE. OIL PRESSURE SENSOR NOT WORKING. - NO WARNING, SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ON LINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED TO 40 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUALLY PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY DODGE JEEP RAM (1890 DOGWOOD DR SE, CONYERS, GA 30013, 678-210-2489) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

THE ENGINE INSTANTLY STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY GIVEN TIME OR SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY. THE STALL UNEXPECTEDLY FORCES THE DRIVER INTO AN UNSAFE OPERATING POSITION HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE MUST THEN BE SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED A MINIMUM OF 30 TIMES ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING OR PROVIDE US WITH A COURSE OF ACTION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RAMP. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, "FORWARD COLLISION WARNING" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. OXMOOR CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE AND RAM (4520 SHELBYVILLE RD, LOUISVILLE, KY 40207, (502) 895-4520) WAS CONTACTED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,115.

LIFTER SEIZED IN #3 CYLINDER CAUSING CAM FAILURE WHILE DRIVING

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I LET OFF THE GAS THINKING THE JEEP WOULD SLOW, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE BY BRAKING (OBVIOUSLY). HOWEVER, I WAS STILL UNABLE TO GO FASTER THAN APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TWICE BEFORE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS TOLD THE OIL PUMP WAS STUCK ON LOW (?) THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE DESPITE REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE VISITS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE MAINLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER AND WHILE MAKING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (RAINBOW JEEP, 301 RIVER HIGHLANDS BLVD, COVINGTON, LA) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE DRIVESHAFT, OIL PAN, PURGE SOLENOID, EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET AND BOLTS, AND THE FUEL PUMP WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE DECELERATING IN A RIGHT TURN THE ENGINE QUIT. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTERWARDS.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IT WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE ENTERING A TURN OR STARTING TO BRAKE AND IT WILL COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER STEERING AND SHUT OFF. I HAVE ALMOST HIT A GUARD RAIL A COUPLE TIMES AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING AFTER THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED IT. THEY DON'T SEEM TO CONCERN WHILE I ALMOST HAVE BEEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WHICH INCLUDED MY 18 MONTH OLD AND WIFE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND THIS HAS OCCURRED EVER SENSE I BOUGHT IT.

ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE EXITING FREEWAY DECELERATING AND MAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO PRESS ON BRAKE RETURN SHIFTER TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE BY PUSHING START BUTTON. SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALSO AFFECTED STEERING AND BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. TRY RESTARTING MAY TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE IE: NOT TURNING OVER, STARTER NOT ENGAGING. ONCE IT STARTS IT DRIVES FINE UNTIL THE NEXT OCCURRENCE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WHEN FIRST TRYING TO START THE CAR AS WELL.

EVERY FEW WEEKS, WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, MY VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. IN THE PAST IT HAS BEEN WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THIS MORNING IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AT EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN WHILE IN MOTION AND TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK, BUT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A POLICE TOW YARD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,832. *JS

INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE/REPLACED RADIATOR/REPLACED RECTIFIER IN ALTERNATOR

THE VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, LOSING POWER STEERING AND ENGINE POWER. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY ONCE/TWICE EACH WEEK AND MOST RECENTLY ALMOST CAUSED A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT, AS MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A HIGHWAY, WHICH CAUSED A SEMI TRUCK TO SWERVE, NEARLY HITTING ME AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON.

JUNE 16, 2018 I'D STOP AT A GAS STATION TO FILL UP I WAS INSIDE THE STATION FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES PLAYING LOTTERY FOR THE NEXT MORNING, I ONLY EXPLAINING FOR TIME LINE. CAME OUT TO PUMP GAS AND NOTICED MY ENGINE WAS SMOKING AND I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING LONG, I JUST LEFT A WATER FRONT PARK WHICH IS ABOUT 5 MINUTES AWAY. WELL THE SMOKE SMELLS LIKE BURNING WIRES BUT NO FIRE JUST HEAVY SMOKE SO I LET IT COOL DOWN. AND THE TRUCK WAS DEAD NOTHING NO POWER WHEN THE TOW TRUCK FINALLY SHOWED UP SOME 10 HOURS LATER, AND TRIED TO JUMP START THE TRUCK IT WAS DRAINING THE JUMP BOX. SO I END UP TAKING MY JEEP TO A AFTER MARKET REPAIR SHOP AND HIS DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT MY ALTERNATOR HAD BURNED UP. SO ONCE I'D REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR THE TRUCK STILL WOULDN'T TAKE A CHARGE....

EVERY 3 MONTHS APART OR SO MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER ON THE ENGINE CAUSING IT TO SHUT DOWN ON ME WHEN I MAKE A HARD LEFT TURN WHILE APPLYING MY BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED IT WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK OUT OF NOWHERE MY WHEEL HOT HARD AND WHEN I WAS PRESSING MY ACCELERATOR IT WAS NOT WORKING. , THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME I HAD TO GET ON TOP OF THE SIDE WALK BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER IT ENOUGH TO MAKE MY TURN. AND MY THIRD TIME HAPPENED THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS GOING UNDER THE BRIDGE LUCKILY FOR ME NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BUT THIS PROBLEM IS A SITUATION READY TO GO WRONG. OUT OF ALL THESE TIMES I HAVE BEEN ALONE IN THE VEHICLE...

ALTERNATOR P60 I NHTSA 14V-634 CHRYSLER HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT, \VHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2011 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHALLENGER, DODGE CHARGER, DODGE DURANGO, CHRYSLER 300 AND 2012 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR JEEP. GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED ,VITH A 160 AN1P ALTERNATOR. MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS A 2011 AND EXPERIENCED TO EXACT ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. CHRYSLER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY CAR IN THIS RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, P60 I NHTSA 14V-634 THE PROBLEM IS ..THE ALTERNATOR DIODES IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE A RAPID FAILURE. VARIABILITY IN THE FAILURE M NODE RANGES FROM NO OUTPUT, REDUCED OUTPUT, AND/OR A FULLY SHORTED TO GROUND CONDITION. DEPENDING ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE MODE AND TIMING, VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS, DISABLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM),...

MY CAR DOES NOT START AT LEAST 10 TIMES A WEEK, I BELIEVE ITS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY AND MY VIN ISNT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS AND IT SHOULD BE. IVE READ MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND I TOOK IT TO FAIRFIELD JEEP WHERE THEY TOLD ME ONE THING OVER THE PHONE AND THEN UPON ARRIVAL IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEN THE PAPERS STATED SOMETHING ELSE DIFFERENT!

WHILE MAKING A TURN THE STEERING AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE 8 MONTHS APART. I'VE DONE THE RECALL FOR THE RELAY SWITCH IN 2015. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN (2ND TIME) YESTERDAY APRIL 9TH, 2018. I ALMOST HIT A CAR AT A LIGHT IT WAS TERRIFYING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY JEEP NOW AND SAID THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE UNLESS THEY HAVE AN ERROR CODE OR UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHILE THE TECHNICIAN IS DRIVING IT. IS CHRYSLER GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE DRIVE THESE SUV'S AND IGNORE THAT PEOPLE COULD DIE? THIS IS AN EXTREMELY URGENT SITUATION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY JEEP THAT I LOVE. PLEASE HELP?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 30-75 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AND FIAT, 2201 VICTORY DR, COLUMBUS, GA 31901), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER ATTACHED A HISTORY RECORDER TO THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS ON MARCH 25, 2018, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPONTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED, THE RADIO CHANGED STATIONS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO RESPOND, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LANDMARK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF...

WITHIN 5 OR SO MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AS MENTIONED, WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF TURNING ON VEHICLE AND STARTING YOUR COMMUTE. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ONLY UNDER BRAKING AND TURNING CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND BOTH TIMES THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS HAPPENS ONCE/MO, HOWEVER, IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS WHICH OBVIOUSLY BROUGHT ME TO THE POINT IN WHICH I'M DOCUMENTING AND WRITING A REPORT. I CALLED THE SAME JEEP DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY CLAIM THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND WOULD NEED TO DIVE DEEPER IN ORDER TO PROPERLY UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL LEVELS COULD BE LOW, WHICH COULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE, BUT...

THE CAR STALLED AND ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, DECELERATING AROUND A LEFT TURNING CURVE. LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITY, POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (NO EMERGENCY FLASHERS). COULD BARELY CONTROL CAR AND ENDED DRIVING THROUGH CURVE, OFF THE ROAD, DOWN INTO SMALL RAVINE AND INTO FIELD. WERE FORTUNATE TO AVOID ROAD SIGNS AND TELEPHONE POLE. CAR RESTARTED AFTER PUTTING GEAR IN PARK. VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. NOT ABLE TO GET APPOINTMENT WITH JEEP DEALER FOR ANOTHER WEEK. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS COULD BE RELATED TO FAULTY TIPM. OUR SERVICE RECORDS INDICATED THIS JEEP DID RECEIVE CHRYSLER GROUP SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA #14V530) TIPM INTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACEMENT, WHICH STATES IS A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE CAR LOSING POWER. SEEMS TO HAVE NOT PREVENTED THE MOVING CAR FROM LOSING POWER.

SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017, MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOUR TIMES DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS CHECKED ONCE PER MONTH UP UNTIL DECEMBER, BUT EACH TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH PARTS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER, AFTER EACH REPAIR VISIT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER A FEW DAYS. BETWEEN REPAIR VISITS A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES OCCURED: *AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATING AT HIGH SPEED (JAN '18) *ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING (JAN '18) *BLOWING COOL AIR ON ONE SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE OTHER (SEPT '17) *DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHEN UNATTENDED (SEPT '17) *WINDOWS GOING DOWN HALF WAY WHEN UNATTENDED (OCT '17) *RADIO POWERING ON WHEN TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION (NOV '17) THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STRETCH...

ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. ALREADY HAD TIPM REPLACED TWICE. LAST THING WE WERE TOLD THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOOSE BATTERY TERMINAL. CONCERNED IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE PUSH START BUTTON HAS ISSUES STARTING THE ENGINE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ONLY WAY THE DEALER WILL FIX THE ISSUE IS IF THE PROBLEM IS SEEN 1ST HAND AND OCCURS FOR LONGER THEN 8 SECONDS. I HAVE PAID FOR MULTIPLE RENTAL CARS AND SPENT MULTIPLE HOURS AT THE DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AND IT KEEPS RECURRING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX IT WITHOUT RE-OCCURRENCE. MY FINAL POINT IS THAT YESTERDAY WHEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE MY CAR STARTED AFTER ITS SECOND TRY, I THEN DROVE ONTO THE STREET AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT ANY CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A BUSY STREET WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IN THE CAR. THIS HSE RISK HAS CAUSED ME TO BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT...
