2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems

The head gasket gets blown with 50,000 miles for the 2018 grand jeep Cherokee high altitude. Went to jeep dealership in Downey and they said they knew it would be the head gasket they had other jeeps in the shop with that same problem, but wanted to charge 5000 just to confirm. So then we went to a mechanic in Los Angeles and they had 5 other 2018 jeeps in the shop with the same problem. The 2018 jeep grand Cherokee 3.6L is having so many problems with the head gasket at such low miles this needs to be recalled! How is it a good supposedly reliable car is breaking down so early. This is a SAFETY ISSUE IT can cause a fire !!!!

I am writing to report a concerning issue related to the water pump in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Recently, I discovered a significant coolant leak originating from the water pump, which has raised concerns about the safety and reliability of my vehicle. I would like to bring this matter to your attention for investigation and potential action. While this issue may be isolated to my vehicle, I believe it's crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of all 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. I have taken my vehicle to an auto repair shop for repairs, and they confirmed the water pump leak. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I hope that by reporting this issue, we can contribute to the overall safety and quality of vehicles on the road. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers.

THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE (INTERMITANT PROBLEM) AT TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT CONSOLE AND DASH WILL FLASH AND THE VEHICLE IS RENDRED USELESS. I HAVE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TEMPORARY FIX. IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES (DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR). NOONE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NO CODES ARE THROWN. JEEP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. SEVERAL FORUMS I HAVE LOOKED AT ONLINE STATE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE PROBLEM IS SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. WHEN IT LEAVES ME STRANDED IN AN INTERSECTION, WHICH IT DID, I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM. A RESOLUTION HAS TO BE FOUND. ITS NOT ALLOWING ME TO UPLOAD VIDEO. I DO HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND...

I have had 2 safety recalls open on my Jeep without remedy for over a year. FCA has failed to do anything putting me and my family at risk.

The stop/start feature on my Jeep has just stopped working. The battery has been checked and rechecked and replaced. It doesn't work. The biggest problem now is the 8.4 touchscreen display that malfunctions. The GPS is connected to this along with the radio and backup camera. Other features include the phone, climate control, and other functions. The phone will randomly select contacts I am not trying to call, and the GPS will randomly set locations I am not trying to go. The screen will jump from one application to another which is extremely distracting while driving. I've tried turning the screen off completely but this isn't helpful if I'm actually using my navigation. It's dangerous.

Starting around February 23 after about 10 minutes into driving. The hot temperature lamp would show up . I pull over an it was always empty of coolant I had done that few times within one week. I also didn’t use air conditioning for a few weeks left . An it was ok for few weeks. Then I noticed smoke coming out back pipes . Send to first reipair shop. They found Coolant in a combustion chamber They told me I should send to Jeep shop .

I attempted SEVERAL times to have the Stellantis/Chrysler/Jeep 'Z46 - High-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure' recall repair performed on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Platinum 4X4 EcoDiesel. The 'Z46' recall was issued in JUN 2022. Yet over ONE YEAR LATER each time I inquire about performing this recall repair the Jeep dealer advises that "there are no parts available to perform the recall repair". I submitted a complaint to Stellantis/Chrysler/Jeep Customer Assistance and asked that the problem be escalated. I received no response or further follow up to that complaint submission. I need to sell the vehicle in the next 30 days but cannot sell the vehicle due to the open Z46 recall. I am suffering economic injury as a result of the Jeep dealer's inability to perform the Stellantis/Chrysler/Jeep 'Z46' recall repair.

Jeep issued a recall for the high pressure fuel pump on our 2018 Grand Cherokee about a year ago and a redesigned fuel pump by Bosch is still not available. I am unable to travel out of state for fear that the fuel pump will fail possibly causing a crash or leaving me stranded at my own expense. Why have a recall if the manufacturer can just ignore it and start discontinuing the product which Jeep has started to do at the beginning of 2023. Repeated attempts to get service from Jeep for the recall have resulted in the message no parts available. What is NHTSA doing about this recall?

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 55,575 miles was parked in a parking garage all day in Brooklyn NY and when the vehicle was move to the front of the garage by parking attendants the engine started smoking and caught fire. There were no leaks, dashboard symbols or open recalls to cause the fire; additionally the car was linked to a iPhone App CarRx that can scan for any issue and no issue noted. This engine fire not only put all of the other vehicles in the park garage at risk of catching fire but the parking garage sits under a luxury apartment building putting the working and residents at risk. Additionally I commute between Brooklyn and NJ 3x a week and cant imagine what would have happened if I was driving the vehicle over the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Brooklyn Queens Express or in the Holland Tunnel during high commuter...

There is an electrical failure that causes the blinkers to stop working, shortly after noticing this issue the vehicle will fail to start after travelling to my destination. This has happened more than twice and there are no recalls shown for the "Limited" version of this vehicle. The standard edition seems to have confirmed recalls for the same issues that the Limited version is experiencing. A mechanic has described an electrical short circuit. I encourage looking into the different models of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which you'll definitely find the same safety issues described online by many others. These repairs need to be addressed and repaired by the manufacturer. Thank you!

October 31, 2022 - Check Engine Light came on. Autozone gave me the P0456 code - Small Leak in Evap System. The check engine light went off a week later. Continued to come on/off for the next 2 months. I was able to finally get an appt on 1/9 and took it into San Diego Jeep Dealership on Camino Del Rio S. They charged $500 for diagnostic even though I had the code already and replaced the Purge Valve & Hose. On 1/14 my car engine would not start at all. On 1/15 my car engine started, I went to drive and within a block my car shut off on me and I coasted to the side of the road while it threw a bunch of different errors including electronic stability warning. I came to a stop and then all of my windshield wipers randomly started going off, my horn...

I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee in the end of February 2021 with approx. 52,000 miles on it. All work done to it after this point has been under warranty with me paying all of the deductibles for the warranty work. A couple of weeks after purchase, the problems began. It was overheating, white steam coming out of my exhaust pipes, vibrating very badly, shutting down at traffic lights, amongst other symptoms. As of now, the dealership has replaced 3 new water pumps, and 2 new cylinder heads (both times were issues with the 3rd cylinder). This go round, it’s now back in the shop with another misfire with cylinder 3. The dealership has also replaced the EGR Cooler, Ignition Coil, Motor Mounts, Coolant Flush, Lifters & Rockers & it is still in the shop. All repairs done by the same shop (different technicians throughout the past year and a...

My pre-owned 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Trailhawk is unsafe and unreliable because the vehicle ** would not start ** on three occasions within 18 months of ownership. Also, the "auto start" feature on the key fob works intermittently. Thankfully, I was in safe locations when the problems occurred, but two of those locations were in public, away from home. Also, the dashboard has indicator lights that come on randomly such as engine or start/stop or "check air suspension" or check ABS. The dealer has not been able to find or diagnose the problem, yet I keep paying out of pocket fees. My problems would occur with no warning, so there would be no time to get help. I contacted Chrysler on 8/8/22 and they were no help; they just directed me back to a dealer to pay another out-of-pocket diagnostic fee. They expressed no concern for my safety, did...

The vehicle stalled while driving on a busy road. It sounded like it couldn’t shift gears. It also accelerated once I tried to move it to a safer location on the side of the road. It was very scary not knowing if I could get out of the stalling situation in the middle of traffic. The unexpected acceleration upon trying to park it safely was also terrifying.

There are numerous safety issues with this vehicle. The most concerning is electrical/fuel/engine relating to the TIPM. The vehicle intermittently refuses to start. The integrated fuel pump relay in the TIPM fails. This has left my wife stranded in potentially dangerous areas. It has also died while the vehicle was in motion. In addition to the TIPM issues, the digitizer of the factory radio/navigation system has delaminated from the LCD screen. The safety issues this causes are multiple: random phone calls while driving (distracting), random radio station changes (again, distracting to a driver), and an inability to properly utilize navigation (potentially dangerous if it tries to change a route and indicates last-second turns). It also prevents the driver from calling someone if they are in need of help. Not only does hands-free calling not work, but even when taking out the phone to dial, the haywire behavior of the device...

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while, driving at various speeds the vehicle stalled on multiple occasions. There were no warning lights illuminated. The pull over, shift to park, and restart vehicle message was displayed. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and he was informed there were diagnostic trouble codes for the brake and accelerator pedal however, the mechanic was unable to determine the exact cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was concerned about having an accident. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 37,007.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep Cherokee right off the dealership lot in Lynnfield MA in August of 2018. I then have had on going issues. Starting with strange squilling sound coming from back of vehicle,this was never found reason by technician but they replaced engine air filter jume 2020, then my heater wasn’t working in dec.2020, replaced motor blower with wheel, then may2021 my vehicle just shut down as I was driving on the highway to work at night no prior warnings beforehand, lucky no one was hurt towed in and no start and transmission was stuck no fuel pressure, dtc related and shorted fuel pump. Replaced module fuel pump level unit. Now just October 29,2021 my vehicle is not starting I jumped the battery and lights come on but vehicle won’t start. Dealership I purchased vehicle from won’t contact me back so I towed the vehicle to them and...

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled and lost electrical power. The message "Check Your Transmission" appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated he veered to the side of the road and was able to restart the vehicle after 20 minutes. The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that no issues were found. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer Normandin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT (900 Capitol Expressway Auto Mall, San Jose, CA 95136) who diagnosed that the alternator and water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving with the vehicle becoming overheated. The vehicle was taken to a third dealer Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Plano...

We have experienced 2 separate episodes of this vehicle suddenly becoming disabled with complete engine shutdown while driving at highway speeds. Both episodes occurred abruptly, engine idling extremely rough, then shutting down within seconds, leaving the car completely inoperable. Both episodes were very dangerous as the car could barely coast to the shoulder of the highway for safety of the passengers. The first episode occurred when the car was a few months old, gas gauge showing over 1/4 tank of diesel gas. Car was towed to the Jeep dealership where they claimed that the car simply ran out of diesel (despite the gas gauge indication) no repair "was required", car filled with several gallons of diesel and OBD codes reset by the dealer, car then ran normally . The second episode occurred one week ago. Again driving at highway speed, 5 lane highway, over 1/4 of diesel remaining on the...

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that several warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle will disable a message was displayed and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and was diagnosed that the battery and fuse block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

On our way to the grocery store, I turned onto the highway and began accelerating. Suddenly the engine shuts off and random messages pop up on the display. The "D" on the shift indicator was blinking telling me to put the vehicle into park to restart. Steering and braking were impaired as i tried to get the vehicle to the emergency lane. Numerous vehicles at highway speeds had to make rapid maneuvers to avoid hitting us. After coming to a stop and putting the vehicle in park, I restarted the vehicle. The engine light was now on and there were numerous messages coming up on the display. There were also random electrical occurrences as well, rear wiper running with switch in off position. This was a very dangerous situation. Had the individual behind us not had room to maneuver into the adjacent lane he would have impacted us for sure....

Just purchased 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee from bulk dealer. The engine consistently stalls while in drive (at red lights, stop signs, intersections) causing safety issues and near MVAs. During stall, the AC continues to blow but air is not cold. The VIN# shows no unrepaired recalls, but the vehicle is behaving exactly as described in recall U87. It still has some time on warranty but I'm not sure how to proceed here. This is certainly unsafe.

On 5/14/21 Stop/Start switch - Engine stalling while driving while on turnpike 65 mph. Situation could have turned to an accident easily. Afterwards engine started with warning light to service S/S-switch. No previous issues with the car (26,000 miles). After stop at the rest area, engine started normally and no warning light. Currently waiting for a service appointment to dealership

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY CUT OFF. THE "D" ON MY DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND BRAKING WAS DIFFICULT. THE CAR JUST COASTED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. THEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY OR A BUSY STREET, THIS WOULD EASILY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. SEEMS THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE FOR ME. A LOT OF OTHER 2018 JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. A CAR THAT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE IT'S BEING DRIVEN IS A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE AT THE...

HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS ON AND ALARM SOUNDS IT CAUSES VEHICLE TO SHIFT WHICH JERKS THE VEHICLE.

61,000 BROKEN WATER PUMP AND BLOWN HEAD GASKET

VEHICLE LOSING COOLANT DUE TO FAULTY WATER PUMP. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE WATER PUMP DOES NOT HOLD UP TO NORMAL VIBRATION AND USE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS BACK ORDERED AND WE WERE NUMBER 300 IN LINE FOR A REPLACEMENT. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT 300 PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR THE SAME WATER PUMP IF THERE IS NOT AN ISSUE. THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF STOCK THAT JEEP HAS ALREADY SOLD TO BE IN BACK ORDER.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. I WAS TRANSPORTING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL ON JANUARY 28, 2020 TRAVELLING AT A SPEED OF 45-50MPH. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD PROMPTING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PUSH START/STOP. MY VEHICLE BEGIN TO STALL AND JUST AS IT WAS SLOWING DOWN ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAS LEFT SITTING IN TRAFFIC FEARING FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE AS CARS CONTINUE TO DRIVE PASS AT HIGH SPEED OR DRIVING CLOSING BEHIND MY VEHICLE BEFORE REALIZING THAT WE WERE AT A STANDSTILL. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT START. I CALLED MY AUTOMOBILE INSURER WHO CONNECTED ME WITH A TOW COMPANY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED TO THE CAR DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.

SIMILAR TO MULTIPLE REVIEWS POSTED HERE, 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. AS OF THIS DATE 12.18.2019 I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY CAR SHUTTING OFF ENTIRELY AT STREET TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS (25-65 MPH) BEING UNABLE TO RESTART MULTIPLE TIMES (5). AS A PART OF RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ONE IS PROMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ACTIVATE BY PUSHING THE START/STOP. - COUPLE OF ISSUES THERE 1) YOU HAVE TO SOMEHOW MANAGE TO GET YOUR VEHICLE OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET/HIGHWAY WHICH LIKELY WONT HAPPEN. 2) WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU CANT GET INTO A SAFE AREA AND PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK TO ATTEMPT RESTART, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESTART AT ALL. THIS LEAVES YOU AND YOUR VEHICLE COMPLETELY STRANDED AND LOCKED OUT. PUTTING PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE ELSE IN A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND THEN THE COPS COME TELL YOU...

AS I TURNED INTO A GAS STATION AFTER DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE DASH BEGAN FLASHING PUT VEHICLE IN PARK TO START. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN RESTART IT. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX 3800 MILES ON IT WITH A FRESH OIL CHANGE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, FRONTIER DODGE. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RAN FINE.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE BEING DRIVEN IS THE MOST SERIOUS ISSUE AC WORKS SPORADICALLY. DOOR LOCK UNLOCK SPORADICALLY WILL NOT WORK STATIONARY DANGEROUS ISSUE IS THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS

2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRACKHAWK THROTTLE STUCK OPEN AND BEGAN ACCELERATING AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE FLOOR MAT RECALL AS I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAD TO PRESS THE IGNITION TO TURN THE POWER OFF AND SLAM HARD ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PLACED INTO PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I EXITED THE CAR AND IT ACCELERATED IN REVERSE IN A FAST SPEED AND STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. I WAS CAUGHT BEHIND THE OPEN DOOR IN PANIC AND WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT KNOCKED DOWN AND RUN OVER BY THE WHEELS.I AM ADAMANT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND NOT IN REVERSE. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW FAST THE CAR WAS TRAVELING. THE INCIDENT WAS WITNESSED BY MY HUSBAND AND MY BROTHER IN LAW. MY HUSBAND LATER TALKED TO A MAN THAT WAS NEARBY AND WAS TOLD THAT HE HAD THE EXACT SAME CAR AND YEAR AND THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. AN INVESTIGATOR WAS SENT OUT AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY PART IN THE VEHICLE. THE MAN LIVED IN THE STATE OF COLORADO WHICH IS WHERE IT HAPPENED. MY...

HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS RENTED VEHICLE STILL RUNNING AFTER PUSHING BUTTON TO STOP VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. FAMILY MEMBERS TOLD ME 'YOUR CAR IS STILL ON' AT LEAST 3 TIMES. HAD ISSUES WHEN STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DIE & WAS VERY DELAYED WHEN STARTING TO GO AGAIN-REQUIRED MORE PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL THAN USUAL. HAD ISSUES WHILE FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. SEVERAL TIMES THE PUMP WOULD CUT OFF (APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES) INDICATING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL WHEN I KNEW IT WASN'T. HAD A SEVERE ISSUE RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE & THE ALOHA ISLAND MART AT 50 PAKAULA ST. KAHULUI, HI 96732 GAS PUMP.

ON 3/11 AND 5/3 2019,MY VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING AND IN GEAR SURGED OUT OF CONTROL CRASHING INTO A PARKED CAR THE FIRST TIME AND HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE THE SECOND TIME.DESPITE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP.IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AFTER HITTING THE NEIGHBOR'S VEHICLE AND TELEPHONE POLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT BODY DAMAGE ON BOTH OCCASIONS TO MY JEEP.THANKFULLY NO INJURIES BUT I NO LONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

ENGINE STOP/START FEATURE CAUSES ENGINE TO STOP/START UPON SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK, CAN CAUSE DRIVER TO EXIT VEHICLE WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING

THIS VEHICLE LACKS ANY KIND OF UTILITY FOR POSITIVE ENGINE SHUTOFF CONFIRMATION, AND/OR A WARNING INDICATOR WHEN THE KEY FOB IS SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY PARK AND EXIT THIS VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT RUNNING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES IN THE 18 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. TWO OF THESE TIMES THE ENGINE WAS LEFT ON WHILE PARKED FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY AND EMISSIONS ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE NO KEY REMOVAL IS NECESSARY, IT IS EASY TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE RADIO AND SUBCONSCIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT YOU'VE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. CAR ENGINES ARE VERY QUIET NOW, AND WHEN EXITING WHERE THERE IS EVEN NOMINAL AMBIENT NOISE, YOU MAY NOT HEAR THE VEHICLE RUNNING. AT MINIMUM, I BELIEVE THE KEY FOB SHOULD HAVE A SENSOR TO KNOW WHEN IT IS MORE THAN SAY...

THEN WHEN CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AT A DRIVE THROUGH, CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE CAR AGAIN WOULDN'T TAKE OFF AFTER RETURNING TO DRIVE UNTIL STOP START WAS PRESSED AGAIN EVEN THOUGH AUTO OFF WAS STILL TURNED OFF.

THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT DOWN ELECTRICALLY (TWICE WHILE DRIVING) AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 I HAVE HAD 4 TO 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JEEP/CHRYSLER IN LIBERTYVILLE, ILLINOIS. I MADE VERBAL COMPLAINTS AFTER THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME. I WAS TOLD AFTER THE LAST ISSUE THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED AND NO MORE ISSUES WOULD OCCUR, ABOUT 10 MONTHS LATER THE ISSUE HAS OCCURED ONCE AGAIN FOR A FOURTH TIME. I HAVE SON THAT I PICK UP ON THE WEEKENDS WHICH REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY FEAR IS THAT THE ELECTRICAL WILL GO OUT AND MY SON WILL BE HURT IN A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKING AND NO WAY TO...

AS IM DRIVING, THE CAR COMPLETE DIES ON ME, NO POWER, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NOTHING IS WORKING, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS IS HAPPENING, IM NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR, I DRIVE MY KIDS,

MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE JUST ACCELERATED BY ITSELF UP A SIDEWALK AT A PARKING LOT AND RAN INTO THE PILLAR OF A BUILDING. I THEN PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT ACCELERATED INTO A CAR PARKED BESIDE ME. THE FRONT AXLE SNAPPED COMPLETELY EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT WAS NOT TREMENDOUS. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALL KINDS OF IMPACT SENSORS AND USUALLY BRAKES ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN IT SENSES A LEAF FROM A NEARBY BUSH AND NONE OF THAT WORKED. THIS HAPPENED JUST YESTERDAY AND I'M AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. I CANNOT BELIEVE MY INTERNET SEARCH HAS YIELDED SO MANY SIMILAR STORIES! *DT *DT *DT*JB

THE JEEP WILL RESTART AFTER PUSHING THE START/STOP BUTTON. THE RPM GAUGE WILL DROP TO 0 AND THEN IT WILL RESTART AGAIN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON AGAIN LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST START IT. SOMETIMES IT'S RIGHT AWAY AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOMETIME. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT IT HAS RESTARED AND RAN FOR A FEW HOURS IN A PARKING DECK. I AM WORRIED THAT IF I PARK IT IN THE GARAGE THE CARBON MONOXIDE MIGHT POISON OUR FAMILY.*DT *JB
