2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

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.

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE TRAVELING ON I-10 IN EL PASO TX. EXITED ON SUNLAND PARK DR WHERE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION.

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.

ON SEPTEMBER 7TH 2017 WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM JFK AIRPORT MY CAR LOST BRAKING POWER, WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THE BRAKES TOUCHED THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL KEEP MOVING. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT MULTIPLE CARS THANKS TO GOD I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND WENT OVER A CURB AND GRASS AND INTO A SERVICE PLAZA ON BELT PARKWAY. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, WE COULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF US GOING 55-60 MPH. WE GOT SO SACRED WE WERE ALL SHAKING, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUES. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES NOW THE CAR SLOWS DOWN BUT DOES NOT COME TO A STOP IF YOU ARE MOVING FAST. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH CAUSED SIMILAR ISSUE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM MY CARS VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 63000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP SOMEONE FROM GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

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.

STALL ON STARTUP

WHILE IN MOTION PUT ON TURN SIGNAL AND STARTED TURN AND ENGINE STOPPED COLD. IT COULD BE STARTED AGAIN AFTER COMING TO A STOP. DURING FAILURE HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES TWO WHILE TURNING RIGHT ONCE WHILE TURNING LEFT.

WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WITH HAVE POWER SURGES THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHILE STATIONARY THE TAILGATE WILL OPEN ON ITS OWN AND THE HORN WILL RANDOMLY START BLOWING. WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WILL BLOW HEADLAMPS AND TAIL LAMPS. THE WIRES IN THE HEAD AND TAIL LAMPS HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND HAVE MELTED THE WIRES. YESTERDAY THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TAIL LAMP CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED THE CASING AND WIRES. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL AND SOMETIMES WON'T START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, ALL OF THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED INADVERTENTLY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE GEAR SHIFTER AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OLATHE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 15500 W 117TH ST, OLATHE, KS 66062 (888) 864-4741) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 32155774. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND LAST YEAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. ONLY BECAUSE NO OTHER DEALERS HAD ONE WITH SADDLE INTERIOR. SO FAR THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT CRACKED LEAKING FLUID AND RECENTLY THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER WENT.IS THERE A RECALL ON THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER MALFUNCTIONING?

I WAS IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS AND SRS SYSTEM DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER FRONT DOOR AND DRIVER FRONT FENDER. FORCE WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO PUSH ME INTO ANOTHER DIRECTION, UP A CURB AND INTO PROPERTY AND EVENTUALLY STOPPING AT A TREE. THE DRIVER DOOR WAS WAS UNABLE TO OPEN, AND FRONT END WAS CRUMPLED. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE ARE AIR BAGS IN THE FRONT SEATS, ABOVE THE SIDE WINDOWS, KNEE BOLSTERS AND STEERING AND DASH. *TT UPDATED 10/1/18*JB

THESE PROBLEMS ARE RANDOM. FIRST ALRM HAS GONE OFF TWICE, THE DAY LIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS COME ON. THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZE THE KEY. THE DOM ELIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLICKERS SOME TIMES. THIS MOURNING THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO SHOWED AN INVALID TIME, SWITHED RADIO OFF, AND BACK ON, IT WENT TO THE CORRECT TIME. TOOK TO MACHANIC DESIGNATED BY THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THIS FROM 2 WEEKS AGO AND HE FOUND NO ISSUES. THE MILAGE IS 92000. I WILL CHANGE THE BATTERY OUT THIS WEEK, AND SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THESE ISSUES. WE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OR 2005 LINCOLN LS WHEN IT HAD A WEAK BATTERY.

I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD WHAT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND REALIZED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE SUNROOF HAD NO PRIOR CHIPS OR CRACKS. AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, THE GLASS HAD EXPLODED BY THE SIZE OF THE HOLE. THANKFULLY, I HAD THE CANVAS CLOSED, AT THE TIME AND GLASS DID NOT FALL IN. HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.

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.

THE WRINKLES IN THE LEATHER DASH COULD CAUSE AN IRREGULAR PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS CONCERNS ME GREATLY.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 50-65 MPH THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD CLUNK WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP, ABOUT THE TIME THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 2ND GEAR, ABOUT 4 SECONDS AFTER TAKE OFF.

BEING PARKET, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON IT STARTS BUT AFTER 1.5 SECONDS IT GOES OUT. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS 2, 3 AND UP TO 4 TIMES ON OCCASIONS, BEFORE STAYING ON AND BEING ABLE TO IT WALKING ...

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, A NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING.

THE SEATS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE NOT BULGES DOWN PROPERLY AND MOVE DURING TURNS AND YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THEM JERK.

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 TRANSMISSION/AC COOLANT CONDENSER IS LEAKING. BIG PROBLEM FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION AND AC UNIT.

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. WHILE THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES DID NOT HOLD AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH WAS REMEDIED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INSTRUCTED THE DEALER NOT TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER'S ADJUSTOR INVESTIGATED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 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!!

THE LEATHER DASH COVER IS COMING LOOSE FROM THE UNDERLYING PLASTIC. EFFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COULD BE AFFECTED. THIS IS A PROBLEM CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUBCONTRACTOR NOT COMPLETING THE VACUUM PROCESS WHEN APPLYING THE LEATHER COVER TO THE DASH. THIS HAS OCCURRED SLOWLY OVER TIME UNTIL IT HAS NOW BECOME A HAZARD.

TRANSMISSION COOLER AC CONDENSER COMBINATION UNIT LEAKING AT WELDS. A LOT OF THESE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THESE FAULTY COOLERS AROUND THE INTERNET - FORUMS, YOU TUBE, ETC. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR NEEDED DUE TO HAVING TO EMPTY AND RECHARGE THE FREON SYSTEM, AS WELL AS REFILL TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAN ONLY BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AT A PROPERLY EQUIPPED SERVICE SHOP. TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS NO OWNER DIP STICK FOR LEVEL CHECK. NOTICED FLUID LEAK ON FLOOR/GROUND THAT COULD CAUSE A SLIP OR FALL.

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 TO DAYCARE WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AHEAD AND REALIZE IT WAS STIFF AND NOT WORKING AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, AGAIN, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ACCELERATED. I FOUGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN INTO A NEARBY GAS STATION AFTER THE LETTING VEHICLE COAST TO A SLOWER SPEED. AFTER BOTH INCIDENCES, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. IT HESITATED A FEW TIMES THEN CRANKED AND FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AFTERWARDS. FURTHERMORE, DURING BOTH INCIDENCES I WAS VERY SLIGHTLY TURNING TO THE RIGHT; THE FIRST TIME TO EXIT THE HWY AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS VEERING INTO THE RIGHT LANE. DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS TRAVELLING ON

TAKATA RECALL . I HAVE A AIRBAG LIGHT THAT IS ON. IT JUST APPEARED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND STAYS ON. I BEEPED THE HORN THE OTHER DAY AND THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. NOW I AM SCARED THAT THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING.

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.

I WILL BE DRIVING THE JEEP & IT WILL STALL JUST TURN OFF LOSE POWER STEERING. IT HAPPENED TWICE ON FREEWAY & 10 TIMES ON STREET. IT STALLS WHEN AM TURNING. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN MONROVIA CA THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT DROVE IT NOTHING THEY DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING & IT KEEPS STALLING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP RELAY I DON'T KNOW IF THE WORK WAS REALLY DONE SINCE IT KEEPS STALLING. AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ON FWY ONLY DRIVING ON STREET. AFRAID OF IT STALLING AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. HAVING A HEMI V8 IN THE FRONT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER! I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STALL BUT IVE ENDED UP AT A STOP SIGN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TWICE. A BIT SCARED AS TO WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IVE FOUND THAT PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON RESTARTS THE SUV

QUADRALIFT SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAS A HIGH PROPENSITY FOR FAILURE. THIS RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE/UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION. 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ARE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. A DESIGN DEFECT IN THIS SYSTEM HAS CAUSED THE HIGH FAILURE RATE. EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE OR VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. THE VEHICLE IS NOT ROAD WORTHY AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THIS SYSTEM. HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH JEEP HQ......HOPING TO GET SOME SUPPORT FOR NOT JUST MY FAILED VEHICLE BUT THE 10-15% OF JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MODE OF FAILURE.

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.

TODAY, MONDAY, MARCH 6TH, 2017; I WAS DRIVING TO WORK; A COUPLE OF MILES FROM MY HOUSE MY VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY FOR ME, IT WAS A LOW-SPEED AREA AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK DID NOT TURN ON AGAIN DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED A TOW AND IT TOOK IT TO A SHOP. I LEFT THE TRUCK THE ENTIRE DAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING IT WORKED AGAIN AND THAT APPARENTLY THERE WAS A MAL-FUNCTION WITH THE RELAY SYSTEM. THEY SAID THE GAS-PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND SUDDENLY WHEN THEY WERE CHECKING THE TPIM IT WORKED BY ITSELF. THEY COULD ONLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A MORE PROFOUND CHECK. I RECALLED I GOT A CARFAX NOT SO LONG AGO AND GOING BACK TO IT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TPIM FAILURES... THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WITH A VERY HIGH RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I WORK IN MANUFACTURING SUPPLYING PARTS TO DIFFERENT OEM'S AND IN THE PFMEA (POTENTIAL FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS) THIS WOULD HAVE A SEVERITY OF 10!!! I WILL FILE ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND WILL CALL THE NHTS TO GET MY TPIM REPLACED ASAP! I REALLY HOPE THEY CAN MAKE THIS QUICKLY. IF I CAN GET ANOTHER CAR I WILL DO BUT I WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY ON THE TRUCK FOR SURE.
