2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems

JEEP WILL CRANK BUT NOT START OVER, HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE FUEL PUMP AND THE BATTERIES IN BOTH FOBS VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ON THE RARE OCCASION I GET THE JEEP TO RUN IT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF....LAST TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE JEEP SLOWING DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR AND I WAS TERRIFIED.

VEHICLE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY STALL DURING DECELLERATION AND BRAKING. VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER TO THE MOTOR AND POWER STEERING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO AVOID COLLISION AND STEER VEHICLE TO SAFETY. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS, AND HAS OCCURRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN A 2 WEEK TIME PERIOD. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL NUMBER P54; OF WHICH I COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE IN 2014. THIS ISSUE PERSISTS, AND I AM SEEING OTHER OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON VARIOUS FORUMS. JEEP/CHRYSLER SEEMS TO BE INCONSISTENT ON THE COVERAGE OF REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED UNIVERSALLY.

FCW LIGHT ON DASH WENT ON AND ALL POWER WENT OFF, CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN A FATAL COLLISION. *BF UPDATED 9/13/18*JB

ENGINE SOMETIMES STOPS RUNNING COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AT LOW AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED. IT IS THEN NECESSARY TO STOP; RE-START, WITH NO PROBLEM, AND CONTINUE ON. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS. JEEP IS NOW AT LANDMARK JEEP, SPRINGFIELD, IL FOR ON ROAD TESTING WITH CHRYSLER COPILOT COMPUTER INSTALLED.

LEAKING/ CRACKED ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING. OIL LEAKING BECAME EVIDENT AS OIL LEAKING THROUGH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND TO BELOW THE VEHICLE. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING.

ENGINE STALLED OUT AT 40 MPH UPON ENTERING A RIGHT TURN EXIT RAMP. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES WERE AVAILABLE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTART ENGINE. CONCERNED IF AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IF ENGINE WAS OFF AND VEHICLE IN MOTION.

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND V8 HEMI STALLS WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER ROAD, OR GOING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO EXITING A RAMP. IT'S BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I'VE ALREADY HAD THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FIXED TWICE, AND MY JEEP STILL STALLS OUT ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS. IT TURNS OUT CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL (T36) FOR 2012-2014 JEEPS WITH ALTERNATOR ISSUES; HOWEVER THE INFORMATION I HAVE READ ON THE RECALL SOUNDS A LOT LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY JEEP. 2011 JEEP GC OVERLAND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST PURCHASED MY JEEP BACK IN JUNE AND CAN VIEW THE SERVICE HISTORY. THIS COMPLAINT IN PARTICULAR HAS TO DO WITH EXTENDED CRANK. MY JEEP TAKES AWHILE TO START. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. I SEE IN MY SERVICE HISTORY THAT MY JEEP HAD THIS PART REPLACED: 02/02/2015 78,423 MI AT JT'S CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FIAT. AGAIN, ACCORDING TO THE SYMPTOM/CONDITIONS, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, AND WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM EXPERIENCING OR HAVE A SYMPTOM/CONDITION OF A CLUNK AND/OR BUMP FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER MODERATE BRAKING OR DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROADS (19-003-14) PART TO FIX KNOWN ISSUE IS (AR) 05057539AD SHAFT, STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE. I WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM EXPERIENCING A SYMPTOM/CONDITION OF A POWERTRAIN ISSUE. WHEN...

JEEP ENGINE STALLED OUT WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE.

THE CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START. IT HAS FULL POWER BUT DOES NOT CRANK. MANY OWNERS WITH VARIOUS YEARS OF JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER OFTEN CAN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM PARTLY BECAUSE THE CAR STARTS AFTER IT HAS BEEN TOWED. MANY OWNERS END UP SPENDING $1000'S ON REPAIRS AND TOWS ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN OR WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN. I JUST HAD MINE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL NEED TO START REPLACING PARTS IF THE CAR DOESN'T PRODUCE A DIAGNOSTIC CODE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, OUR 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 5.7L ENGINE STALLS WHILE BRAKING AND TRYING TO TURN CORNERS. RECALL P54 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP RELAY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WAS DONE IN NOVEMBER 2015, BUT THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED. MOST RECENTLY OCCURRED SEPT 8TH, 11TH AND NOW TODAY THE 14TH. HAD VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS ON SEPT 13TH AND JEEP TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS STALLING OCCURS, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND APPARENTLY NO FAULT CODES GENERATED. WHEN MOTOR STALLS, WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAVE ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF ROAD TRYING TO GET STOPPED. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING AND BRAKING TO TURN OFF OR ONTO A HIGHWAY.

FCW (FORWARD COLLISION WARNING) LIGHT WENT ON AND THE ENGINE KILLED, WHILE IN FULL MOTION, CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT AND IN MOTION.

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS LEAKING FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE TRANS COOLER PART JUST ABOVE THE A/C CONDENSER. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2011-2013 MODELS.

JEEP GC2011 ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING! CURRENT RECALL UNDER CHRYSLER #T36 AND NHTSA #17V435 ONLY COVERS YEAR 2012-2014. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED TO INCLUDE YEAR 2011. ONGOING ISSUES OF STALING AND COMPLAINTS FOR 2011 HAS BEEN LOGGED SINCE 2012 AND IS A SERIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE UNDER THE RECALL. IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCED STALING PLEASE DOCUMENT AND SEND THE COMPLAINT OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS DIED FROM THIS PLEASE FILE TO SAVE OTHERS!

JEEP GC2011 STALLS WHILING DRIVING. ONGOING SINCE 2012; MECHANICS HAVE DONE A LOT OF SERVICE AND REPAIR VERY COSTLY OUT OF MY POCKET EXPENCES BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE STALLING. SAYS IT MAYBE THE ALTERNATOR, THROTTLE OR IGNITION PROBLEM. THE 2011 MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CHRYSLER RECALL #T36 (NHTSA #17V435).

TIMP RECALL, WAS REPAIRED JAN 2015. TODAY VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC, COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LOST POWER STEERING, WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, BUT SINCE IT WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY, NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL DO FOR ME. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM THE RECALL DID NOT REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT CONTINUOUSLY KNOCKED INTO THE ENGINE. THE FAULTY UNKNOWN PART CREATED INDENTATIONS IN THE ENGINE WHICH, IN TURN, CAUSED AN OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS AT AN UNKNOWN DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP DEALER OF WARREN, MASSACHUSETTS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2016, THE CAR WILL STALL SPORADICALLY UPON RAPID DECELERATION. LAST TIME IN MARCH THE CAR STALLED WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. DEALER CANNOT RECREATE OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND RETURNS THE CAR 'OPERATING AS DESIGNED.' CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 10-12 TIMES AND MORE RECENTLY WITH GREATER FREQUENCY. RAPID DECLARATION USUALLY OCCURS TO AVOID A PROBLEM, THIS IS THE WORST TIME FOR THE CAR TO STALL OUT.

WHEN I COME TO A STOP/SLOW DOWN THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS - TYPICALLY THIS IS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WHEN I'M STOPPING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT, GOING UP HILL AND DOWN HILL, AND MORE OFTEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL. THE FUEL LEVEL CAN BE FULL OR LOW AND IT STILL HAPPENS. FRIDAY MAY 19, 2017 IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN A 20 MILE TRIP ON ROADS WITH SPEED LIMITS RANGING FROM 30MPH TO 55MPH, ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, ONCE AT A ROUND ABOUT, ONCE AT A STOP SIGN, AND ONCE AT A LEFT HAND TURN. P54 RECALL WAS ALREADY ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO FOURTH GEAR INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED AFTER AN INCLINED HILL WITH CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED A CASE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED HOWEVER IT WAS NOT GUARANTEED DUE TO THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

ON MAY 4, 2017, APPROXIMATELY AROUND 7:00PM, I TURNED RIGHT ONTO A FREEWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BARELY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM LUCK THAT I DID NOT HAVE A CAR BEHIND ME OR I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. HOW SCARY!! CHRYSLER HAS CLAIMED THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THIS!!

WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING TO BE DISABLED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, 11/12/16, I WAS TAKING AN EXIT OFF OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE APPROACHING RED LIGHT, THE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND WOULD BOT SLOW THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO I LET THE VEHICLE COAST. AS I WENT TO TURN RIGHT, I REALIZED THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING EITHER. AFTER CROSSING OVER 2 LANES I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD STALLED. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PAID $700 FOR SOMETHING, THEN DROVE IT BACK SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED. FIVE MONTHS LATER, 4/20/17, SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. IT WAS 8:30AM AND I WAS BRINGING MY 18MO OLD...

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST. NO SERVICE LIGHTS OR LOSS OF POWER TO OTHER ITEMS (EX: RADIO) AND NO ERROR MESSAGES CAN BE FOUND BY JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES MOST RECENTLY 4-4-17.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. COLLIDED WITH TREE, MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE. NO POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED, SEAT BELTS DID NOT TENSION. VEHICLE HAD STALLED PREVIOUSLY AND TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION COILS AND SAID PROBLEM WAS FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF WITH NO WARNING. SINCE DECEMBER UNTIL NOW, IT HAS DONE THIS A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. 3 OF THE TIMES EITHER MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY OR GETTING OFF OF THE FREEWAY. SCARES ME SO MUCH. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE ANYONE CRASH FROM THE BEHIND. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, AND THE BRAKES BECOME VERY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ON. ITS HARD TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC.

2011JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND HAD STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION LOSING POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES, AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH TELLING ME ANYTHING ABOUT JEEP BEING TURN OFF. VERY SCARY! I HIT THE CURB AND ALMOST HIT THE ATOP SIGN.

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55MPH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MULTIPLE SYSTEM WARNINGS WERE SHOWN BY EVIC, INCLUDING ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, IGNITION SYSTEM, 4WD SYSTEM, AND AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM. BRAKING POWER WAS SEVERELY DIMINISHED. MAXIMUM SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 5MPH, BEFORE STALLING OUT AFTER 10 FEET. THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE WAS A SHORT IN THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR THAT DISABLED ALL POWERTRAIN AND BRAKING SYSTEMS. ALL SYSTEMS SHARE THE SAME 5 VOLT CIRCUIT INTO PCM.

THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL EXPERIENCE ENGINE STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE FUNCTIONS. IT HAS LIKEWISE STALLED AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNALS WHICH IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEEDS EXPECTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT TO MOVE WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL (P54) RELATED TO THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER THE CHEAP EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS FIX THEY EMPLOYED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS INSUFFICIENT AT BEST. IN FACT, THE ISSUES WITH OUR FAMILY VEHICLE HAVE ACTUALLY WORSENED SINCE THE P54 RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN MAY OF 2015. THE VEHICLE'S PROBLEMS HAVE NOW PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START: A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF THESE DANGEROUS JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OUTLINING SIMILAR ISSUES...

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED DURING DECELERATION. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS VISIBLE AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES SET. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE DISAVOWS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL ACCOUNTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE JEEP FORUMS AND OTHER WEBSITES. DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE CANNOT CONTROL IT WITHOUT POWER ASSIST. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE OR AT HIGH SPEED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LOCKS ITSELF OFF AND WON'T LET IT ACCELERATE UNTIL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. HAS DONE IT MULTIPLE TIMES NOW AFTER REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR EACH TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE RIGHT CYLINDER IN THE VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE HOWEVER JEEP IS TELLING ME THAT ITS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THE ENGINE LIGHTS KEEPS COMING ON AND MAKING A HEAVY NOISE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, LIKE THIS. *TR

OIL FILTER COOLING HOUSING ASSEMBLY IS BROKEN AT ONLY 62,000 MILES. THE REPAIR COST IS OVER $500.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE.

DECELERATING AND TURNING RIGHT VEHICLE STALLS COMPLETELY, FIFTH TIME THIS HAPPENED IN THREE WEEKS.

THIS JEEP ENGINE FAILED / STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TWICE ON A TURN, AND ALMOST CAUSE TWO REAR ENDS BY FAILING IN MID TRAFFIC, IN FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SINCE 2014. THE VEHICLE ENGINE CUTS OUT, WHICH CAUSES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON VARIOUS MAIN STREETS, WHEN THIS OCCURRED. NAPERVILLE JEEP DEALERSHIP (WHERE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED) HAS ALSO MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE PER THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, HAS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT BEGAN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US CONFIDENT THE PROBLEM WAS 'RESOLVED' OR NON-EXISTENT. ATTACHED IS THE VEHICLE RECALL AND REPLACEMENT RECORD. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS HAS OCCURRED TO OTHER JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES BEFORE AND THE TYPICAL SOLUTION IS REPLACING THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THIS VEHICLE'S TIPM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS RANDOMLY LOWERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE ELECTRONIC FUNCTION TO WIND THE WINDOWS UP EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND EVENTUALLY STALLS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES

DRIVING W ON 60 IN AZ, 30 MINS AFTER HAVING OIL CHANGED AT LOCAL AUTO CARE SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE BUT MY RADIATOR HOSES LOOKING SOFT. CONSIDER GETTING G NEW ONES IN THIS 112 DEGREE HEAT (LIKE THE DAY I'M SUBMITTING THIS). ON FREEWAY, ENGINE OVERHEATS, STALLS, STEERING LOCKS, BRAKES HARDEN AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN AN INCONVENIENT 2 INCHES OFF THE CURB, STILL IN EVERYONE'S WAY AS THEY ATTEMPT TO EXIT MILL AVE. BRAKES HARD AND DOESNT ALLOW FOR PUSH-TO-START BUTTON TO TURN OVER. NOR TO PLACE IN NEUTRAL. STANDING BY FOR A TOW AS WE SPEAK. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. COOLANT JUST TOPPED OFF THREE DAYS AGO AND GIVEN AN OKAY AFTER OIL CHANGE HALF HOUR PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. PERHAPS COINCIDENCE. PERHAPS JUST LIFE. REPORTING EITHER WAY.

I'VE BEEN LUCKY USUALLY IN THE LANE CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK SO I CAN MANEUVER TO THE SIDE BUT EVENTUALLY MY LUCK WILL RUN OUT, I'M VERY UNEASE WHEN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS I DON'T WHEN I'LL HAPPEN. THE TIPM WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM IS NOT ALL THE TIME BUT IT HAPPENS, I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENS BUT THEY CAN NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM OR FIND ANY ERROR CODES

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK IN THE PASSING LANE, WHEN THE RPM'S WENT WAY UP AND THEN WAY DOWN. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND LOSS OF POWER FROM ENGINE. NO ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON BEFORE THIS HAPPENED OR ANY SORT OF INDICATION THIS WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. I PULLED OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT WAS BROKEN INTERNALLY AND THAT THIS IS A DEFECT OF WORKMANSHIP AS I CAN SHOW RECORDS OF EVERY OIL CHANGE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS OFFERING NO GOOD WILL AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP AS THE MILEAGE IS 114,000. I STILL OWE CLOSE TO $13,000 ON THIS VEHICLE AND TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IT IS GOING TO COST $7,800.

MY CAR WILL STALL AND THEN ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY. IF I AM DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY CAR WILL STALL ALMOST CUTTING OFF. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND A SPEED OF 25/30 MILE PER HOUR. I ALSO EXPERIENCED DECELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60/65 MPH. THIS IS VERY SCARY. ALSO WHEN I AM IN REVERSE MY TRANSMISSION MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND. MY ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON.
