2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUDDENLY BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING. SINCE MAR 7TH THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INCIDENTS IN WHICH PRESSING THE START BUTTON CAUSED THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER BUT NOT START. ALL 3 INCIDENTS WERE SITUATIONS IN WHICH I WAS TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF PREVIOUSLY TURNING THE CAR OFF. 2 OF THE 3 INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF TURNING THE CAR OFF. FOR EXAMPLE, I FORGOT TO BRING AN ITEM WITH ME FROM MY HOUSE, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT IN THE HOUSE TO RETRIEVE THE FORGOTTEN ITEM. THEN, WHEN TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NO IGNITION FROM THE CYLINDERS. SUBSEQUENT REPEATED EFFORTS TO START THE CAR WERE FUTILE, BUT IF I WAITED 30 MINUTES OR MORE THE CAR WOULD START UP. THIS PROBLEM CREATES DIFFICULTY FOR ANYONE DOING A SHORT ERRAND SUCH AS BUYING SOMETHING FROM A CONVENIENCE STORE OR DROPPING THE KIDS OFF FOR SCHOOL. I READ THAT CHRYSLER WILL BE ISSUING A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, I HOPE THIS HELPS. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO MAKE SURE MY NAME GETS INCLUDED AMONG THOSE THAT NEED REPAIRS. THANKS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, OFTEN ON HIGHWAYS FOR A WHILE THE BRAKES GET EXTREMELY STIFF FEELING FOR A FEW SECONDS. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE BRAKES GO BACK TO NORMAL FEELING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE CAR LOSES BRAKING POWER AND BRAKING FEEL DURING THE STIFF BRAKE. *TR

CAR OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT START WHEN THE PUSH BUTTON START IS USED. OTHER TIMES THE CAR GOES INTO A LONG CRANK. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO CYCLE THROUGH OPTIONS BY PUSHING THE PUSH BUTTON START SEVERAL TIMES AND TRY AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS, OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STARTS. *TR

GOOD MORNING, I RECEIVED A SAFETY NOTICE (RECALL) PREVIOUSLY SENT TO ME ON/OR ABOUT OCTOBER 2014. I DID PERSONALLY CONTACTED MY DEALER AND FOLLOW UP IN A REGULAR BASIS FOR MONTHS NOW AND THE ANSWER HAS ALWAYS BEEN "WE ARE ON QUEUE WAITING FOR PARTS FROM CHRYSLER". I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECIPT OF THE SECOND NOTICE TODAY MARCH 5TH 2015. WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSE TO DO IN ORDER TO HAVE THE SERVICE DONE..?? SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A RAINY DAY, MY CAR SHUT OF-AT THE TIME I WAS DOING APPROX 50 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR, I WAS INFORMED THERE IS A TIPM ISSUE AND MY COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COSTING ME OVER $1500. SINCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. MY HANDS ARE TIED ON THIS ONE, AS IT POTENTIALLY CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FUTURE. ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM, MY CAR HAS FAILED TO START ON APPROX 10 OCCASIONS. IT TAKES ME ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO GET IT TO START. *TR

IN ADDITION, THE DOOR LOCKS HAD STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED BUT AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTION AND WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REPLACEMENT TIPM WAS ALSO FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,400.

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE P14 REGARDING THE BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE IN OR AROUND MAY 2014. I CALLED THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO MY HOUSE AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE TOO BUSY, UNDERSTAFFED, HAD GUYS IN TRAINING AND HAD NO TIME TO FIX THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS ED TOMKO CHRYSLER IN AVON LAKE, OHIO. THEY ASSURED ME THIS WAS NOT A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I ASKED THEM TO CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY HAD TIME TO DO THE WORK AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING IT WAS UP TO ME TO CALL THEM. I CALLED AGAIN IN JULY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ON FEBRUARY 28, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, WHICH CAUSED A SEVERE BRAKE APPLICATION PROBLEM. BY SOME MIRACLE, I AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY INCHES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY BUT WAS TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS GONE FOR THE DAY. I CALLED ON MONDAY MARCH 2 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WOULD BE ON APRIL 21. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT HE WAS TOO BUSY, UNDERSTAFFED AND HAD GUYS IN TRAINING. THIS WAS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD HIS EXCUSE FROM LAST YEAR. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE NUMBER 800-853-1403 BUT HUNG UP AFTER 51 MINUTES, HEARING OVER 50 TIMES "THANK YOU FOR HOLDING, YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US...." THE LIES OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THE INCOMPETENCE OF CHRYSLER COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE IF THE BRAKE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE. ALL OF THE EXTERNAL LIGHTS MODULES ---HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS--- WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THEN THE CAR SOMETIMES WOULDN'T START. THE DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. FINALLY ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AT THE DEALER AND THEY FIGURED IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE KEYLESS ENTRY THAT WAS READING THE SIGNAL FROM THE KEY FOB. THEN WHEN THEY WERE INSPECTING THE CAR THEY FOUND THE REAR SHOCK WAS LEAKING. THEY ORDERED A NEW PART IN JUNE AND IT WAS FINALLY REPLACED IN OCT AS THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. ON A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME I NEEDED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECK ( 30000 MILES) TO THE TUNE OF $1700 AND WANTED ME TO DO IT RIGHT THEN.. THE DAY AFTER THIS OIL CHANGE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE I HADN'T DONE MY 30000 MILE CHECK ( THE DAY BEFORE). HE SAID IT COULD BE VARIABLE THINGS BUT PROBABLY A BAD SPARK PLUG THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ( PART OF THE $1700 CHECK HE HAD WANTED ME TO DO). I SAID I HAD OTHER CARS INCLUDING A 2002 JEEP AND I HADN'T HAD TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS AT 30000 MILES. THEN HE REALIZED MY 3.6 L CAR DID NOT NEED SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AT 30000 ---- ONLY THE 5.7 DID. YESTERDAY I CHECKED MY FLUIDS AND SAW THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS WAY LOW. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THIS WAS NORMAL. THE TECH SAID NO--- THE STEERING FLUID WAS IN A CONTAINED SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT

A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN EARLY 2014. ON JULY 31, 2014, I REQUESTED THE REPAIR, BUT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BACK-ORDERED. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES, MONTHLY, TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR, BUT WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ON FEBRUARY 13, 2015, OUR GRAND CHEROKEE'S BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED, CAUSING DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC. HE SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND ALSO SUBJECT TO THE RECALL, THE PART SHOULD BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED AT NO COST. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR SINCE IT HAD FAILED, BUT THE PART WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO ME IF IT HAD NOT FAILED. ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE I REQUESTED THE REPAIR UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. IF IT HAD NOT FAILED, IT IS NOT KNOWN HOW MUCH LONGER IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO GET THE REPAIR PERFORMED. I UNDERSTAND I WAS 30-SOMETHING IN LINE FOR THE REPAIR, BUT THERE IS MORE THAN 100 WAITING AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE RECEIVING A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY FOR THE RECALL PARTS. THE JEEP SAFETY BULLETIN, FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.JEEP.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/P14.PDF, INDICATES A COMPLAINT SHOULD BE FILED IF THE REPAIR IS NOT COMPLETED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I DO

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 12 GRAND CHEROKEE FROM STARLING CHEVROLET BUICK IN ST. CLOUD, FL. I DID A TON OF RESEARCH AND HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PARTICULAR JEEP FOR MANY MONTHS. OUR JEEP IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION AND THE CAR FAX LISTED ONLY TWO MINOR RECALLS, THE SUN VISOR WIRING AND A BRAKE COMPONENT; NOTHING ELSE. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT A 35 DAYS AGO AND BACK HOME AND NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. ABOUT 14 DAYS AGO MY JEEP RANDOMLY STALLED WHILE I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE (AT A SAFE DISTANCE). THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (NO POWER STEERING) AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT JEEP IN PARK, AND STARTED AGAIN. I WAS COMPLETELY BAFFLED WHY IT DID THIS AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE UNDER MY 3 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY DEALER WAS UNABLE TO GET ANY ERROR OR WARNING SIGN ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. MY JEEP HAS STALLED 2 OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT BACK AND THE SAME THING, IT WOULD NOT STALL ON THE MECHANIC AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS LUCKY TO TALK TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER TONIGHT AND HE EXPLAINED THAT HE HAD THE TIPM REPLACED 2 TIMES, YES 2 TIMES IN THIS JEEP AND AFTER THE 2ND TIME THE JEEP KEPT STALLING ON HIM. MY WIFE AND I ARE TERRIFIED THAT WE PURCHASED A ?LEMON? WITHOUT HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS AT ALL. THE CAR FAX DID NOT SHOW THIS INFORMATION, MY JEEP DEALER SHOWED ME ALL THE WARRANTY HISTORY THROUGH CHRYSLER AND THEY SINCERELY WANT TO HELP US. HOWEVER, IF THE F

AFTER OWNING MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR ONLY 1 SINGLE DAY (PURCHASED WITH 35,004 MILES ON 2/11/15), I WAS UNABLE TO START IT AFTER 6-7 PUSH START ATTEMPTS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PROPERLY PRESSED DOWN. AFTER PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND PULLING IT TO THE SIDE OF A HILL,I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND ONCE AGAIN TRIED AND IT STARTED UP. BASED ON RESEARCH ONLINE, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODEL AND THE DEFECTIVE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR RECALL (P60) FOR 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES IS NOT YET AVAILABLE (YET IT WAS ANNOUNCED BY CHRYSLER IN OCTOBER 2014) AND COULD ALSO BE A FACTOR TO THIS INTERMITTENT START ISSUE. *TR

LAST SATURDAY (01/31/2015), I GOT 48K SERVICE DONE ON THIS JEEP. YESTERDAY (02/02/2015) THE STEERING WHEEL GOT JAMMED WHEN MY WIFE WAS REVERSING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVEWAY. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS MISSING. I TOOK THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID CONTAINER IS LEAKING. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK 22.5 MILES I NOTICED A WHINE THAT INCREASED IN VOLUME AND PITCH DEPENDING ON ENGINE RPM. UPON ARRIVING AT HOME AND EXITING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED AN ODD ODOR THAT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING BURNING. I OPENED THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE VICINITY OF THE ALTERNATOR. THERE WERE NO FLAMES PRESENT AND I NOTICED DISCOLORATION ON THE ALTERNATOR. *TR

NO INCIDENT OCCURRED - JUST NOTICED THE SYMPTOM IN LATE NOVEMBER 2014. THIS IS RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 (SUDDEN ALTERNATOR FAILURE). AS OF 02.04.15, THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (JGC) BECAUSE IT HAS A 5.7L ENGINE (RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO JGCS WITH 3.6L ENGINES). HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES WHAT I THINK MAY BE SYMPTOMS OF A FAULTY ALTERNATOR: COLD START WHINING/WHIRRING, EXCESSIVE WHINING/WHIRRING DURING ACCELERATION IN LOWER GEARS, WHINING/WHIRRING DURING SHARP TURNS. IS THERE STILL AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON VEHICLES WITH THE LARGER ENGINES? IS THERE A SIMILAR PATTERN OF COMPLAINTS OR SERVICE REPAIRS FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL? I'M SUSPICIOUS THAT MY VEHICLE MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PREMATURELY CORRODING. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP.

THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON 1/28/2015. THE CODES THAT WERE SET SAID THE ENGINE HAD A MISFIRE AND THE LEFT HEAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON THE ENGINE. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6 LITER V-6 PENTASTAR ENGINES. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER SAID THIS PROBLEM ONLY EXISTED IN HALF OF 1% OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. IT APPEARS THAT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND EXACTLY HOW MANY ENGINES HAVE HAD THE LEFT HEAD REPLACED. *TR

I VISITED OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014.

THE INDIVIDUAL TOOK OUT A NOTEBOOK AND ADDED MY NAME TO WHAT APPEARED TO BE A RATHER LENGTHY LIST. I STILL HAVE YET TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. WITH SUCH A WET WINTER, I WOULD THINK THE GOAL WOULD BE TO GET RECALLED VEHICLES IN AND OUT IN A TIMELY MANNER TO AVOID THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY. *TR
