2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Escape. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), but the failure worsened. The contact stated that after the vehicle was retrieved from the dealer, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, a week after the vehicle was repaired, the traction control warning light, the check engine warning light, and the yellow light with an arrow across were illuminated. The message "Service 4-WD" was displayed on the instrument panel. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road and failed to restart. The contact left the vehicle on the side of the road. The following day, the contact sent someone to pick up...

The cuts off in the Middle of the street in front of a school .The vehicle will not start up.I try to Crank it on vehicle make a loud screeching sound like metal to metal .Dash lights 4wd pop on then a lightning symbol came on.The vehicle wont change gears steering wheel lock ,wheels lock ,The front left turning signal does not work all the other lights do.My wife and I avoided a collision when the vehicle shut off while driving .Thank God no one were hurt.Bought this vehicle in October 2025.

Year: 2012 Make/Model: Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 L V8, 4WD Mileage: ~140,000 miles Date of Incident: [Insert date] Location: McKinney, Texas (near U.S. 75 exit) Description of the Safety Issue: While driving normally, the Service 4WD System warning illuminated. Seconds later, the lightning-bolt symbol (Electronic Throttle Control) appeared, and the engine stalled abruptly without warning. All power steering and power-brake assist were lost while the transmission was still in Drive. The vehicle rolled backward on a slight grade as if in neutral. Attempts to restart the vehicle failed. Even CarMax technicians, at whose lot the vehicle came to rest, were unable to start it. A strong hot/burning electrical odor was present immediately after shutdown. This indicates a possible overheating or shorting event in the electrical or fuel-relay system (TIPM or throttle-body circuit). Had this failure occurred on U.S. 75 at highway speed (80–85 mph), I would have lost steering assist...

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the RPM fluctuated before the transmission slammed into gear. The contact stated that the ABS warning light and another unknown warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with transmission failure, and a failure with the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal was replaced, and other unknown parts were replaced on the transmission. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while driving 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle immediately and the vehicle stalled. After several attempts, the vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was towed back to an independent mechanic, and it was diagnosed that the throttle...

The transmission is messed up for no reason for such low miles

Re: AQ14-003-FCA-Consent-Order-7-24-2015 & 2019 Safety Recall [Manufacturer Recall Number V62 & NHTSA Recall Number 19V-813]. FCA hasn't been in compliance with either of them regarding 'my' vehicle. 2015 Consent Decree implies should have been notifying car owners of any type of recall. 2017 recall was cancelled & 2019 safety recall was issued 4 years after the decree, 1 year after I bought the car, a safety recall was issued. Wasn't notified. 2 years later "I" contacted FCA (now Stellantis) to get my vehicle remedied by repair or replacement. Parts were shipped to a dealership but they used it on one of their customers. I asked for another set of parts. After that, absolutely nothing has happened up to now. Keep in mind FCA had my information (email, phone & address) either from me emailing or speaking with a customer rep. It's been over 3 years since last heard from FCA....

This Jeep has had 2 recalls and repairs related to the fuel pump relay. The first recallrepair did not fix the issue, Jeep then replaced the relay again, which did not fix the issue. Then there was a NEW recall and repair, which also did not fix the issue. The car still has the exact same issues, the car will randomly stall soon after being started. I’m not sure what to do at this point bc I feel unsafe driving this car and it is my only vehicle.

While driving through the intersection after slowing down at light, vehicle completely stalled, turned off in the middle of the intersection and wouldn't start back up. I had to have it towed to dealership. I have had it in dealer prior to this incident for stalling issues just out of nowhere. They simply said they cannot find a cause. This is dangerous to me because vehicles behind me don't know that I am stalled out and almost hit me. Prior to this last time, I have been able to restart vehicle by putting in neutral and getting it to move on it's way, but still scary while vehicles behind me don't know that I was going to stall out. This last incident, I had to be pushed off of the road and then towed to dealer. Hoping they can find the cause and fix.

The transmission shifts strangely, and it seems like it cannot decide which gear it needs to be in for normal operations. It also causes the vehicle to stall while driving. Also, at times it stays in only one gear, and you cannot even shift gears manually. Intermittently, the vehicle starts out in a higher gear, and it doesn’t correct itself, so acceleration is way below what it needs to be. I have been fortunate to avoid a few crashes due to the stalling.

Estaba manejando a 35 millas y de repentes la jeep comenzó a perder fuerza y se apagó, tuve que durar como 30 minutos para que pudiera prender, porque cuando la encendía temblaba y los frenos frenos y el guía se ponían duro.

After getting my car back from big o doge in Greenville sc I was on my way to work and stopped at a redlight when the light turned green my car just sat there and didn’t move I pressed the gas but nothing it just revved up like it was in neutral pressed the gas to the floor nothing all of a sudden it was like it jumped and took off…also did the same thing at a stop sign up hill and I had a car coming in the other lane as I was crossing the lane to get into the correct one….I had open recalls and set up for it to be checked when I arrived at the delarship they told me my recalls were closed. My car was not checked or repaired at the time how can you just cancel a recall/campaign after notification and claim parts aren’t...

My 2012 jeep SRT8 will be driving n jerking and feels unsafe think gotta be a n23 transfer case or final drive ordeal they have with different year not my year but should be and I don't feel safe at all n I paid a lot of money for this premium vehicle and getting run around and serv 4wd and traction control off n fcw off pops up after few minutes all at same time got transfer case control module coming in mail hopefully it works but if not it's gotta b update or flash transmission update but it'll literally be surging and when slowing down it'll fell like it's getting shift in wrong gear it's crazy

My transmission keeps clunking

Vehicle stalled without warning. No power whatsoever. Illuminated battery light came on. Noticed a burning odor coming from vehicle. Checked engine bay and noticed heavy smoke coming from alternator for a good 10 minutes. Vehicle would not take a jump nor could I put into gear. Battery is completely dead. PCM also seems to be fried. Will have to be towed to Dealership. Called Jeep costumer care and referenced the t36 recall but my vin does not fall under it even though vehicle fits EXACT description of recall. Also noticed that many others are have same problem with Jeep and them not expanding the recall to their vin. How terrible!! This could have easily been a fatal situation. Jeep needs to take some responsibility and action!

Since owning this vehicle (2013), it periodically stalls while driving. There is no warning and most times I am on a highway or getting off an exit. When this happens, I have no power steering ability. I have been lucky so far and I have not caused a serious accident when these episodes have occurred. My wife refused to ride or to drive the Jeep because of this problem. I see online that other Jeep owners have experienced the same problem. I have taken it to a Jeep dealer for service since 2013 and they are never able to diagnose the root cause of this problem. This problem seems to be happening more often - I fear for my life and those around me due to this sporadic problem. Please hold Jeep responsible for getting to the root of this issue with these vehicles.

I have an on going issue with the vehicle stalling while slowing down for intersections, roundabouts and exit ramps. This has been happening since 2018. The vehicle traveling around 35-25 decelerating, the RPMs will just drop to zero and the engine will shut off. No warning lights, codes or indication I have lost power. Latest incident was on 1/14/22 in Mukwonago, WI after have only driven the vehicle for about 10 minutes. Coming from a 55 zone donw to a stop at an intersection the vehicle stalled with no warning around 30-25 MPH. 1/16/22 I was entering a roundabout and saw the RPMs dropping below idle to zero and was able to stop the stall by shifting the transmission into neutral. RPMs immediately went back to idle.

Symptoms are identical to recall W47, Where loss of engagement between transmission and the differential inside PTU (Power Transfer Unit)

MY CAR BEGAN SHUDDERING, THE DEAL OF DRIVING A BOAT ALMOST, FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN A LOWER GEAR BUT NOT AS ROUGH. THE DEALER PREFORMED RECALL REPAIR FSA 14M02TSB 16-0129 TODAY IN DENTON. I DROVE HOME THE 35 MI. AND, ALTHOUGH IMPROVED STILL FELT THE SAME. MY BOYFRIEND RESEARCHED OTHER BULLETINS AND RECALLS. THEN JACKED THE CAR UP AND SAW A LEAK RELATING TO 14M01TSB. I CALLED BUT WAS TOLD SINCE I HAVE 127798 MI AND IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 10 HRS, THIS NO LONGER APPLIES. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR CODED RELATED TO THESE ISSUES AND I FEEL THAT THESE 2 ISSUES ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER AND 1401TSB SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT WEREN'T AWARE AS DIAGNOSTICS DO NOT SHOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE LEAK IS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH TO NOTICE DRIVEWAY SPOTS. THE ONLY CODE OF...

WHEN IN MOTION (HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY) THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND THE ENGINE CUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. NO ERROR CODES OR WARNINGS COME ON, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES NO LONGER FUNCTION EITHER BUT THE RADIO STAYS ON. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY TWICE BUT ITS NOT FIXED. BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE AN ERROR THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT AS AN ISSUE. BUT JEEP FORUMS WIDELY SHOW THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE..

WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST TORQUE AND LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND HAD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHILE HITTING GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE IS ONLY 80,100 OF 100,000/5 YEAR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. DEALER WOULD NOT WARRANTY THIS POWERTRAIN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE VIN HAS MULTIPLE EARLIER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ITEMS COMPLETED. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS FRONT TRANSFER CASE INTERNALLY FAILED, AND FRONT DRIVE SHAFT HAS FAILED. MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INDICATED THIS FAILURE IS COMMON AND MAY ALSO REQUIRE A FRONT DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER INITIALLY DIAGNOSED AS FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE BUT DETERMINED IT TO BE THE TRANSFER CASE. PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE DUE TO THIS BEING A COMMON FAILURE (4+ WEEKS FOR PARTS). A FONT DRIVE SHAFT AND TRANSFER CASE FAILURES ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH.

4X4 ACTIVATE ALWAYS IN CITY STREET. SEAT BOTH FRONT VINIL BROKE, FLUID WATER ON THE ROOF BACK WHEN RAININ . SISTEM HIDRAULIC DONT LOWER THE JEEP. DIFICULT TO STARTER.

A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE RESULT IN A NO-START CONDITION.

IN A PULL FORWARD PARK SPOT, SHIFTED TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT. CAR LURCHED BACKWARD VERY FAST. CROSSED THE ROAD, STOPPED BY A 4' X 6' POST SET IN THE GROUND. THE COLLISION BROKE THE POST AND CRACKED MY CAR'S REAR BUMPER. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT IT COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED. THANKFULLY, NO PEOPLE WERE IN THE ROAD. NO INJURIES. THIS WAS PIN A COMMERCIAL FARM, WHERE PEOPLE CAN HARVEST THE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THE ROAD IS BLACKTOP. MY CAR LEFT SKID MARKS ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EVENT FOR ME AND MY FRIEND. I CALLED MY CAR DEALER LATER TO ASK IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY INCIDENTS LIKE THIS...SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR ZIPPED OFF- OUT OF CONTROL. TECH SAID ' NO'.

JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT ONLY A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT A LIGHT SAYING ' SERVICE 4WD' HAS POPPED UP ON MY DASH AND IVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND THEY SAY ITS NEEDS A NEW TRANSFER CASE AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. IF IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEN WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT, IT IS PRETTY RIDICULOUS AS MUCH AS PEOPLE PAY FOR A CAR AND THE PROBLEMS THAT GO WRONG WITH IT AND THE MANUFACTURER CANT EVEN FIX THERE OWN PROBLEMS ON THE CARS THAT BUILT! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING WHEN THE CAR WAS BUILT. I AM DISGUSTED WITH HOW [XXX] AND UNRELIABLE CARS ARE NOW A DAYS,...

2012 GRAND CHEROKEE V6. TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY SLIPS TO NEUTRAL WHILE STILL IN DRIVE WITHOUT WARNING. MOSTLY WHILE STOPPED FOR LIGHT OR SIGN. SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO GET IT INTO DRIVE AGAIN. NO SIGNS OF SHIFTING, SOUNDS, LURCHING, BUMPS OR GRINDING. SMOOTH AS CAN BE, ONLY WAY I CAN TELL IS THE CAR ACCELERATES. REPAIR SHOP CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.

MY JEEP HAS BEEN GOING INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS ON WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS BUT IS NOW HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY. IT HAS USUALLY HAPPENED AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND AFTER GETTING BACK INTO MOTION AND UP TO SPEED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT HAVING RECENTLY STOPPED. I AM USUALLY IN TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO PULL OVER SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WHILE IN MOTION.

WHEN I PRESS THE PUSH START AND THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND NOT TURN OVER. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE 4 YEARS I'VE HAD IT. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I USED JUMPER CABLES TO TRY AND REVIVE THE BATTERY. DOING THIS REVERTED POWER BACK TO MY VEHICLE, YET IT WOULD STILL NOT TURN OVER. I THEN HAD TO PUT THE KEYFOB INTO THE IGNITION AND TRY IT MANUALLY. STILL NOTHING WORKED AND MY CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER AND START. IT MAKES ONE CLICK, AND THEN NOTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION UNINTENTIONALLY SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE MOVED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NORMAL SPEED, THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE PASSING LANE. WITH NO POWER I ALMOST HAD A CAR REAR END ME BEFORE I COULD PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND PULL OVER. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT ACTED NORMAL FOR A WHILE. BEFORE ARRIVING HOME THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HAD STARTED LEAKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS LOW IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. HOWEVER, WITH THIS VEHICLE THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL AND THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF FLUID LEAKAGE FOUND WHERE CAR IS NORMALLY PARKED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED!

AT VARIOUS TIMES, WHEN CAR IS CRANKED AND PUT INTO DRIVE, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND GEARS DO NOT CHANGE AUTOMATICALLY. VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE FROM BEING STOPPED. HOWEVER WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND CRANKED BACK UP IT SOMETIMES RESETS THE ISSUE ELECTRONICALLY.

HAVING ISSUES WITH GEAR SHIFTING AND THE MAJOR COMPLAINT IS THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NO ANSWERS. THIS HAPPENS AS VEHICLE IS MOVING AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER WITH NO POWER NO STEERING NOTHING. SCARY DEAL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS

TRANSMISSION COOLER/CONDENSER LEAK CAUSES LOSS OF TRANMISSION FLUID BUT YOU CAN'T CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL BECAUSE THERE IS A TAMPER PROOF CAP ON THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL DIP STICK. TRANSMISSION GOT HOT, TRUCK SLIPPED GEARS AND LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM CONTROL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM BUT IS NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TETERBORO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 469 US-46, LITTLE FERRY, NJ 07643) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 59534039. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK COMING FROM A/C CONDENSER/TRANSMISSION COOLER. SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE LEADING TO POOR TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE SUCH AS SLIPPAGE AND VEHICLE JERKING ON ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. ALSO JERKS WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR FROM PARK.

I HAVE LESS THAN 76K MILES ON MY JEEP. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER, TAKING EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY JEEP, ALWAYS GETTING OIL CHANGES ON TIME AND MAINTENANCE WITH VERY FEW CITY MILES ON MY JEEP AND I AM HAVING TO PAY 10K FOR A NEW MOTOR AND CAMSHAFT.

AN UNINTENTIONAL SHIFTING OF THE TRANSFER CASE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ITS ON AND CANT TAKE IT OFF, ALL STARTED WITH THE VEHICLE BEEN STATIONARY.

DRIVING FROM THE GAS STATION TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE REAR AIR SUSPENSION FAILED TO SHUT OFF AND OVERINFLATED CAUSING THE FORWARD MOUNTS ON THE REAR SUBFRAME TO BE RIPPED OUT OF THE BODY OF THE CAR WHICH CAUSE THE SUBFRAME TO CRASH INTO THE EXHAUST, TRANSFER CASE, AND DRIVE SHAFT WHICH IMMOBILIZED THE VEHICLE. NO INJURIES OCCURRED LUCKILY AS THE VEHICLE HAD NOT MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK COMING FROM A/C CONDENSER/TRANSMISSION COOLER. SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE OCCURRING LEADING TO PROBLEMATIC TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE SUCH AS SLIPPAGE AND VEHICLE JERKING ON ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THIS TYPE OF COMPONENT FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF THE PROBLEMATIC AREAS BEFORE SERIOUS ISSUES ARISE.

CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND RISE IN RPMS AND MISSING GEAR GOING INTO NUETRAL AND CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN TRAFFIC RUNS AT 2 RPMS IN IDEAL STANDPOINT NOW CAR IS LEAKING FLUIDS AND SERVICE 4WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS ON I READ THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE IN OTHER KEEPS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM

WHILE IN TRAFFIC TRANSMISSION STARTS TO KICK AS IF TRYING TO GET INTO GEAR.. ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC OF ABOUT 10-20 MPH.. AT NORMAL RUNNING SPEEDS ALL IS WELL. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY KNOWN TRANSMISSION RECALLS EXIST FOR MY VEHICLE

TRANSMISSION COOLER/AC CONDENSER LEAK AT TUBE JOINTS

HAD TO HAVE ALTERNATOR AND BATTER REPLACED AT 54,000 MILES. TWO WEEKS AFTER COMPLETING THIS REPAIR, THE BATTER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. AFTER TURNING OFF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP. UPON INSPECTION BY THE MECHANIC, THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS NO LONGER WORKING. THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. IN ADDITION, 3 DAYS LATER, THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE.

TAKATA RECALL LEATHER ON THE DASHBOARD COMES LOOSE, I'VE TAKEN IT TO JEEP TO REPAIR AND IT HAPPEND AGAIN. THE ADHESIVE DISSOLVES AND MAKES THE LEATHER BUNCH UP. THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT BLINKS FOR A FEW SECONDS EVERY TIME ENGINE STARTS. ENGINE STALLS AND DOESN'T START AT TIMES.

MY JEEP CUTS OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING AND STALLS AT TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON ALSO SINCE I PURCHASED IT. WAS TOLD THE CODES HAD TO BE RESET. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER OVER 10 TIMES AFTER I PURCHASED IT DEALER SENT IT OUT OTHER PLACES SEEN NOTHING TURNED OFF CODES IT SEEMED OK THEN EVERY SINCE THEN IT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT THEY SEE AN ISSUE I HAD EXTENDED BUT THEY ONLY REPAIRED RECALLS THEY SAY BUT MY LIGHTS STILL FOG FROM THE RECALL AND ELECTRICAL STILL ISSUE!

A/A TRANS CONDENSER LEAK. FAULTY CONDENSER UNIT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (LIECHTY DODGE, 5080 ACADEMY LN, BESSEMER, AL 35022, (205) 432-7995) FOR A RECALL REPAIR CONCERNING THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ALTERNATOR RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

THE ABILITY TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FAILED AT ABOUT 63,000 MILES. THIS NECESSITATES THE USE OF ONLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING DOWN HILL. BECAUSE THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE UNDERSIZED, THIS CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP.
