2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE OPERATING AND DOES NOT TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO RESTART. THIS PREVENTS A QUICK REACTION TO BEING STALLED WHEN SLOWING TO ENTER OR EXIT AT AN INTERSECTION. ON MOST OCCASIONS, THE CAR WILL NOT START AND CONTINUES TO CRANK WHEN EITHER USING THE PUSH START, MANUAL KEY FOB, OR AUTO START. IT CANNOT BE MOVED ONCE STALLED. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART TOO QUICKLY OR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT WILL FLOOD. THIS SAME ISSUE WAS INCLUDED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SAME BEHAVIOR IS EXPERIENCED AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. TO PROVIDE HISTORY OF FAILED RECALLS, THE BRAKE SHIELD RECALL WAS CORRECTED BY TWO SEPERATE RECALLS AND WAS ALSO A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT PREVENTS DRIVER CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN STOPPING. THE STALLING OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR STOPPING, AND WHEN PERFORMING STRONG TURNS. THESE TYPES OF TURNS ARE DONE FREQUENTLY AT INTERSECTIONS WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO ESCAPE THE DANGER.

LEATHER DASH COMING UP AND FORCING PLASTIC HEATER COVERS TO COME INTO SIGHT OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING, ALL CARBON FIBER TRIM AROUND DASH AND ALL DOORS IS NOT STICKING AND HAS CUT, POKED AND INJURED OTHER AND MYSELF. SOME OF THE TRIM IS VARY POINTY AND REALLY SHARP AND IF DOES NOT STAY DOWN MAKES A RISK OF IMPALING SOMEONE, POKING OUT AN EYE OR WORSE. WAS TOLD A RECALL WAS ON IT AND ALREADY PERFORMED, BUT CLEARLY WAS NOT FIXED EVEN AFTER RECALL. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ALOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR SINCE THEY SAY IT WAS ALREADY IN FOR THE SAME RECALL.

THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED PER RECALL AND NOW THE NEW EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP IS COMPLETELY FAILED AND MY JEEP WON'T START AT ALL. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE WILL JUST STALL AND TURN OFF ON ME. SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

1. JEEP DIES FOR NO REASON WHEN DECELERATING IT HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TAKING THE FOOT OF THE GAS IT LAST HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY 1 ON A BIG CURVE, STEERING AND BRAKES LOST POWER ON A CLIFF SIDE ROAD.(SCARED ME AND THE FAMILY 1/2 TO DEATH) IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE DUMBARTON BRIDGE IN COMMUTE TRAFFIC IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING ON OFF RAMPS OR COASTING TO STOP LIGHTS. YOU NEED TO COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR PUT IT IN PARK AND PRESS ON THE BRAKE TO RESTART IT. THIS IN TRAFFIC IS ALSO DANGEROUS JEEP SAYS 10 THINGS MAY CAUSE IT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX TRY ANY OF THEN BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PINPOINT WHICH ONE IT IS. 2. CRUISE CONTROL SLAMS ON THE BREAKS FOR NO REASON. ANOTHER DANGEROUS PROBLEM NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, OPEN HIGHWAY, NO OVERHEAD BRIDGES OR GUARD RAILS IN SIGHT AND THE BRAKES SLAM ON.

THIS JEEP HAD THE FUEL PUMP RECALL DONE ON IT WHICH WAS FOR THE TIPM RELAY BUILT IN FAILS CAUSING THESE JEEPS AND DURANGOS TO STALL OUT. WELL NOW THE WHOLE MODULE IS BAD PER THE DEALER. THIS FAILURE IS WORST THAN THE RELAY FAILURE. THE JEEP STALLED OUT WHILE BEING PARKED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN ALSO WHILE NOT WORKING SITTING IN MY GARAGE THE JEEP TRIED TO START ON ITS OWN AND LIGHTS AND HORN GOING OFF. JEEP WAS ALREADY SUED OVER THIS AND I HAVE BEEN READING FORMS WITH MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THESE MODULES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED NOT PLACING A BANDAID ON THE RELAY WHILE THE WHOLE MODULE IS GARBAGE WHICH IS NOW COSTING ME 1600 AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A MONTH SINCE SHE WAS SCARED TO BE LEFT STRANDED OR HAVING THE CAR STALL WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE BRING THIS UP WITH THEM I ALREADY EMAILED ASKING FOR HELP ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY NEVER ADDRESSED IT THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT UP.

PER RECALL P54 EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. THAT EXTERNAL RELAY HAS NOW FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OWNER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND DRIVE TO ROAD SIDE. EXTERNAL RELAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A BETTER DESIGN OR OPTION TO PREVENT A CRASH.

THE VEHICLE HAS NOW HAD IT'S 3RD WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT, JEEP HAS PUT A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE WATER PUMP'S FOR THE 13-17 MODEL YEARS AND I HAVE A 2012 WITH THE SAME EFFECTED PART AND JEEP REFUSE'S TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW ITS A PROBLEM, THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION IS X73 FROM JEEP.

BI XENON HID HEADLAMPS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ISSUES WITH DESIGN AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR AFTER 6 YEARS AS OWNER OF THIS TYPE OF TRUCK. SOMETHING AS SUCH AN CARS/TRUCKS, BULBS OR HEADLAMP HOUSING DESIGN SHOULDN'T BE SUCH A ISSUES ON ONLY 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. BLUB WHICH COST OVER $99.99OEM AND $300 AT THE DEALERSHIP JUST FOR BLUB PART PLUS LABOR. IT'S SUCH A SAFELY ISSUES READING MANY MESSAGE BOARDS ON OTHER OWNERS HAVING CONCERNS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH ONE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT UNTIL THE REPAIR IS MADE OR ISSUES ARE FIXED WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHICH I FEEL IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN CAUSE OF ALL I HAVE READ ABOUT. ONLINE. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS MATTER TO ATTENTION FOR THE MANY DISAPPOINTED CONSUMERS DEALING WITH SUCH ISSUES THAT IS RELATED TO THE SAFETY OF TRAVELING DURING THE EVENING HOURS. CHRYSLER SHOULD BEWARE OF THIS ISSUES IN THEIR TRUCKS AND OFFER RECALLS IF KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE DESIGN OR WIRING. JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE A NEWER TYPE OF TRUCK ONLY 6 YEAR OLD HAVING SUCH A TYPE OF ISSUES IN DEALING WITH REPLACEMENT OF HEADLAMP BULB WHICH WHEN NEW DOESN'T WORK. NEW YORK N.Y.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, BUT DECELERATING FROM HIGHER SPEED TO A STOP OR LOWER SPEED. ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING/DASH LIGHTS COME ON EVERYTHING ELSE (RADIO, LIGHTS) CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE ENGINE IS NO LONGER RUNNING IS THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DON'T WORK AND THE RPM ON THE TACHOMETER GO TO ZERO. CAR TYPICALLY WILL RE-START WITH NO ISSUE, BUT WILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STOP AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, IT'LL START RIGHT UP AND DRIVE FINE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A PATTERN, OTHER THAN SLOWING DOWN. IT'S STALLED ON ME THE FOLLOWING TIMES AND SITUATIONS: * SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY - WAS RAINING, STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER STALL RAN FINE (2014) * SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, WOULD RESTART, BUT NOT STAY RUNNING.

MY LEATHER DASH BOARD STARTED BUBBLING AND HAS NOW COMPLETELY PEELED AND SHRIVELED UP, ALSO MY CARBON FIBER DOOR AND DASH TRIM HAS FALLEN OFF.

JEEP WILL NOT START FROM EITHER USING THE KEYFOB OR ON DASH START BUTTON. VEHICLE CRANKS AND ATTEMPTS TO START. BATTERY IS NEW AND CHARGED. POSSIBLE TIPM ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, NOTICED A SMOKE SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. COULDN'T PUT A FINGER ON IT UNTIL LATER WHILE DRIVING THE CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLINER AND BURN HOLE IN LINER. PULLED OVER AND PULLED HEADLINER DOWN AND SAW FLAMES AND SMOKE. PUT FIRE OUT. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAD BEEN DONE BY THEM ON OUR VEHICLE FOR THE VANITY MIRROR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT. THEY TOOK OUR VEHICLE AND GAVE US A RENTAL AT THEIR EXPENSE UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THIS INCIDENT..

ENGINE FAILING WHILE DRIVING BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REMOVE VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD TO AVOID CRASH. ISSUE IS THE ENGINE ROD BEARING FAILURE. RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE CAME OUT IN 2011 BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V487000

STARTER TURNS OVER BUT WONT CRANK AND LEAVES ME STRANDED. HORN GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS SOMETIMES WONT WORK. GOOGLE SAYS ITS THE TIPM. HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND NON MOVING. HAS HAPPEND MULTIPLE TIMES.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS, AND IN THAT TIME IT HAS RANDOMLY LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING 5 DIFFERENT TIMES, MAKING IT HARD TO TURN OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WARNING, IT JUST DIES. I AM NOT FINDING A RECALL CONCERNING THIS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

UPON DOING REGULAR OIL CHANGE THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER CRACKED AND THE SPRING CAME OUT. THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER NOW REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THERE IS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER. REFERENCE #09-003-13 * DATE OF ISSUE = 10/26/13

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH DOWN AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HANLEES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF NAPA (333 SOSCOL AVENUE, NAPA, CALIFORNIA 94559, (707) 690-9600) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS AND EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED ENGINE QUIT AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. UPDATED 11/26/18*JB

FUEL PUMP, RECALL DONE BUT NOT EFFECTIVE. ALMOST THREE TIMES A WEEK, THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DOES NOT START OR STALLS RIGHT AFTER STARTING. THIS IS WHEN I AM PARKED AND WILL JUST KEEP CRANKING AND NOT START. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL IS FAULTY. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STALLED ON ME FOR NO REASON AND THEN TOOK 5 MINUTES OF CRANKING TO FINALLY START AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON I95. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, NOW IT IS ALMOST EVERYDAY.

FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL R09 WAS PERFORMED IN 2015. RELAY THAT WAS INSTALLED DURING THE RECALL FAILED IN 2018 CAUSING CAR TO STALL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FAILING TO START. CREATED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AS I WAS LEFT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. RECALL WAS NOT EFFECTIVE AT SOLVING THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS NOW BILLING CUSTOMERS FOR THE PART AND LABOR THAT THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX.

FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED AFTER BEING REPLACED BY RECALL. OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. MOST RECENTLY THE CAR STALLED ON ME WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE CAR. THE SECOND, AND LAST TIME IT STALLED, I WAS TURNING OFF A RESIDENTIAL SIDE STREET ONTO A MAJOR 4 LANE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. IT STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. I COULD NOT RESTART IT. I WAS TOLD BY MY AUTO SHOP THAT THE PART HAS NOT BEEN IMPROVED, ONLY REPLACED. THAT IS NOT A FIX!

A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TICKING GETS LOUDER. HAD NOISE CHECKED BY MECHANIC AND IT WAS THE LIFTER AND ROCKER ARM. HAD SOME REPLACED, THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME. I HAVE A 3.7 ENGINE V6 GRAND CHEROKEE AND FOUND THAT DODGE HAS A RECALL FOR THE CHARGER, WHICH IS THE SAME COMPANY.

SEAT BELT LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WONT GO OFF. WARNING SOUND WONT STOP RINGING.

THE AUTOMATIC CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON 2 HOURS INTO DRIVING NORTH ON THE HIGHWAY TO WISCONSIN FROM CHICAGO. THERE WAS NO HUMAN ACTION THAT CORRELATED WITH THE LIGHT COMING ON. IT SIMPLY CAME ON WHEN GOING CONSISTENT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IN NO TRAFFIC. I LEARNED FROM THE DRIVER'S MANUAL THAT THIS MOST LIKELY MEANT THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED AND I NEEDED TO GET ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A REPAIR SHOP ON A THURSDAY WHERE IT WOULD REMAIN FOR 10 DAYS AS THINGS BEGAN TO UNFOLD. THE EMPLOYEES OF THE REPAIR SHOP COULD IDENTIFY NO FAULT IN THE ALTERNATOR AFTER THOROUGH INSPECTION AND DRIVING TESTS. THE WARNING LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, AFTER IT HAD BEEN CLEARED OF ALL INSPECTION AND TURNED ON, THERE WAS AN ENORMOUS FAILURE IN THE CAR CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ALTERNATOR CAUSED SUCH A MASSIVE SHORT THAT IT NOT ONLY FAILED ITSELF, BUT ALSO BROKE THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPUTER. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BY CHRYSLER (T36) FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND INCLUDED 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S. I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS FAILURE IS SPECIFIC TO THE MANUFACTURING ERRORS BY CHRYSLER JEEP. THERE HAVE BEEN A TOTAL OF 10 RECALLS ON THE 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, 3 OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC TO THIS VEHICLE, AND CLEARLY, NOW A 4TH. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BEEN AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE FAILURE BY CHRYSLER TO NOTIFY ME OR INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THEIR RECALL IS PREPOSTEROUS. I HAVE DOCUME

TAKATA RECALL MY VISOR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN STOPPED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER NUMEROUS MAINTENCE CHECK UPS

THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OFF, AND THE RADIATOR HOSE WAS LEAKING, AND THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON, IN THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS LEAKING FLUID, BELIEVE IT TO BE RADIATOR, AND AC FLUID. TOOK THE JEEP INTO THE MECHANIC TO VERIFY THE ISSUE, AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. SHORTLY BEFORE TAKING THE JEEP TO THE MECHANIC, WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT APPEARED, AND THEN THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT TURNED APPEARED AS WELL, ON THE DASH AS WELL. NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT NOW.

HAVE CONTACTED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO ADDRESS TWO RECALLS. THEY STATE STILL WAITING FOR PARTS. HAVE BEEN WAITING MORE THAN ONE YEAR TO HAVE THESE RECALLS ADDRESSED.

THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN WHINING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THE BATTERY LIGHT PERIODICALLY ILLUMINATES. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER IF I WANT THE RECALL COMPLETED, THEY CAN HAVE IT CHANGED TOMORROW IF I PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. MAKES NO SENSE WHEN PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

ALTERNATOR AND PCM WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED IN JULY 2017. HOWEVER, I NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS WORSE. THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL COME ON INITIALLY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS START, RADIO WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN THE AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY STARTED TO BLOW OUT HOW AIR AND IT WAS BLOWN AT THE FEET. I TRIED ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES WHEN UNDER REGULAR STRESS OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY!
