2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CRANK THE VEHICLE WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME FAILURES AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V115000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON / OFF THEN RIGHT HEADLAMP AND /OR BOTH BLACKOUT WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY

THE 4WHEEL DRIVE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER IT WAS IN PARK OR TURN OFF. HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES. SOUNDS LIKE THE TCU MAY BE AN ISSUE.

DRIVER SIDE HEADREST (AHR SYSTEM) HAS DEPLOYED AND IS BROKEN. IT APPEARS THE PLASTIC CLAMPS THAT HOLD THE HEADREST IN PLACE ARE BRITTLE WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE .

ABOUT A MONTH AGO FROM THIS DATE, I REMOTE STARTED THE VEHICLE BEFORE LEAVING MY HOME, OPENED THE HOUSE DOOR AND IT WASNT RUNNING. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO START IT WITH THE KEY FOB. NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE VEHICLE TURNING OVER WITHOUT STARTING. BEEN THIS WAY SINCE. IT WILL START AFTER MANY, MANY ATTEMPTS BY TURNING THE KEY AND EVENTUALLY STARTING. THERE IS NO FUEL PUMP NOISE WHEN THE KEY IS CYCLED NUMEROUS TIME FROM ACC TO ON POSITION.

LEATHER ON DASHBOARD HAS SEPARATED AND BUBBLED DUE TO MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. JEEP WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE STATING IT IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON THE OVERLAND TRIM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HIGH END TRIM MODEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE A TICKING SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND THEY ALL STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FAIL IF IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN APART AT A HIGH COST. BENSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (400 W WADE HAMPTON BLVD, GREER, SC 29650, (864) 877-0161) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER OFFERED A TRADE IN WITH THE CONTACT HAVING A NEGATIVE EQUITY BALANCE ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A COMPLAINT FROM THE CONTACT AND REFERRED HER TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

THE CAR HAS ISSUES STARTING UP AND WHEN YOU TRY TO START THE CAR THE BRAKE BECOME STIFF AND THE CAR WILL NOT START BUT WILL CRANK. ALSO AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR WHEN I STOP AT THE RED LIGHT THE CAR JUST CUTS OFF AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT AND RESTART AFTER 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTS WITH NO ISSUES

MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND STARTED TO SMOKING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND BURNED UP ALMOST CATCHING FIRE. THERE WAS A RECALL THAT THEY ONLY LOOKED AT THE ALTERNATOR NEVER REPLACING IT. I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS RECALL, I WANT TO BE CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THIS FAULTY PART THAT ALMOST CAUGHT MY JEEP ON FIRE. I FEEL THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE JEEP WAS RUNNING STATIONARY WHEN IT STARTED WHISTLING AND MAKING A BAD NOICE. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE IT TO AUTO ZONE IT GOT WORSE AND STARTED SMOKING, MAKING A LOUD WHISTLING SOUND AND CHOKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. WHEN I PULLED INTO AUTO ZONE IT WAS SMOKING BAD, SMELT ELECTRIC BURNING AND IT WAS ALL COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 60 MILES BACK HOME AND ANOTHER 12 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEXT MONDAY MORNING BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY WHEN EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED. IF IT'S A RECALL I WANT IT REPLACED, TOW PAID FOR AND THE TIME IT'S BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT THEN DROVE TO NORTHGATE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8536 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251, (661) 395-3005) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

THE DAMAGES DIRECTLY CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR RECALL DIRECTLY RELATED TO MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BEING DECLINED TO BE COVERED BY DEALERSHIP IN A VACAVILLE CALIFORNIA. THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE ME $1000 FOR DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE THAT WERE CAUSED BY ALTERNATOR ISSUE.

VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND TRANSMISSION PLACED IN DRIVE, THEN DRIVEN ONTO A CITY STREET ACCOMPANIED BY AN UNUSUAL WHINING NOISE, LURCHING, AND IMPAIRED ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS LIMPED INTO A PARKING LOT, PLACED IN PARK AND SHUT OFF AGAIN, AFTER WHICH IT WOULD NO LONGER CRANK. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE INITIALLY THE STARTER WAS REPLACED. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED SPARKS AND A STRONG BURNING SMELL FROM THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH HE DECLARED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ALTERNATOR WAS THEN REPLACED, AFTER WHICH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE OR PCM WAS ALSO FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HERE IS UNCLEAR, BUT THE SAFETY CONCERN STEMS FROM THE SHORTING ALTERNATOR MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT HAD THE DRIVER BEEN UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER, THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND/OR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC. AS OTHER, SIMILAR VEHICLES FROM THIS MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR WEAK ALTERNATOR DIODES FAILING CATASTROPHICALLY (P60 / NHTSA 14V-634), IT SEEMS REASONABLE TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THIS HAZARD EXISTS IN THIS AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND ALTERNATOR FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 17V572000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RECALL LETTERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GANLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (310 BROADWAY AVE, BEDFORD, OH 44146, (440) 232-2121) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY CAUSED THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT FOR BOTH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY THE LAST 5 MONTHS. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO ZONE FOR A CODE READER A FEW TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD DISAPPEAR OR MULTIPLE CODES WOULD APPEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD AT TIMES SEEM TO LOSE POWER ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILL WHETHER IT WAS ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET A TRUE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON 6/15/19 WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL SHOWING ON MY DASHBOARD. THEY CODE READER GAVE P0128 SO I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET MY THERMOSTAT GAUGE REPLACED AND TOTAL REPAIRS WITH DIAGNOSTIC WERE $309.15. I FOUND IT FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. AFTER A TRIP OUT OF TOWN AND DROVE A TOTAL OF CLOSE TO 1200 MILES, THE LIGHT STAYED ON. AT THIS POINT, IT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT ALWAYS ALERT IF A PASSENGER DID NOT HAVE THEIRS ON. I TRIED TO GO BACK AND SELECT THE SEATBELT PROBLEM SELECTION, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO.

I HAVE BEEN SINCE 2017 (SEPTEMBER) WITH A SITUATION OF A RECALL T36, THE SITUATION WAS RESOLVED TEMPORARILY (SEE ANNEXES INCLUDED). I WAS THEN ASSIGNED TO A CONSULTANT MR. LUCAS FIGUEROA, WORK MY CASE AND CLEARLY INDICATED THROUGH EMAILS (I HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE) THAT THE ALTERNATOR (BY THEN 2017) WAS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE, TRIANGLE DEALER DEL OESTE WAS INSTALLED A PIECE THAT WAS NOT THE RECALL WHILE THE PIECE WAS AVAILABLE. I MUST CLARIFY THAT THIS SITUATION OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 AND I WAS DELIVERED MY BUS ON NOVEMBER 9, 2017. YOU CAN REFER TO CASE #11039953 ASSIGNED BY NHTSA. I AM DEMANDING TO HAVE THE T36 RECALL PART INSTALLED. IT CLEARLY INDICATES IN THE COMMUNICATIONS THAT IT IS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. AND EVEN MORE, I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE OR MANUFACTURED THEM (AN FCA OFFICER) WOULD CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT I COULD PASS TO INSTALL THE SAME. I NEVER GOT THE CALL. I NEED THIS CASE HANDLED WITH THE SERIOUSNESS IT DESERVES. RECALL DEALER T59 (WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE) I EXPLAIN ABOUT THE RECALL PENDING THE T36 (ALTERNATOR) AND I AM NOTIFIED THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS ALREADY INSTALLED.

STATIONARY, BUT UPON ACCELERATING THE ENGINE HESITATES ALL THE TIME. IF FEELS LIKE THERE IS HESITATION, SOMEWHAT, WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

I HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, I HAD IT FIXED ON FEBRUARY 24,2015, TODAY I HAD TO REPLACE IT AGAIN, MY CAR STALLED 2X WHILE DRIVING,IT ALSO WOULDN'T START SEVERAL TIMES, WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I CALLED MOPAR AND WENT TO JEEP DEALERSHIP AND BOTH REFUSED TO REPLACE FOR FREE. I KEEP A SPARE WITH ME NOW IN CASE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK IN NO MANS LAND LATE AT NIGHT. I HAVE AAA ALSO. I JUST HOPE THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM THE CONSUMER STATED THE THERE WAS RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL.*JS

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED DEAD ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE CAR IS RUNNING AND MOVING BUT SUDDENLY STOPS. NO LIGHTS NO MOTOR NOISE NO ABILITY TO STEER OFF THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AT CITY SPEEDS AND STREETS NEVER ON A HIGHWAY NOTHING HAS SHOWED UP ON DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ON DIAGNOSTICS SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIPS HEAD MECHANIC IS NOT RETURNING CALLS. I WAS RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL INCLUDING 2011 TO 2014. MINE IS 2013. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT A TAKAYUKI RECALL IS, I GAVE THE LAST DATE THIS HAPPEND.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROMANO CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 215 W GENESEE ST, FAYETTEVILLE, NY 13066, (315) 637-3101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4. TRANSMITION COOLER LEAKS TRANSMITION FLUID . THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE FROM THE FLUID BEING SPRAYED OVER THE EXAUST. AND THE LOSS OF TRANSMITION FLUID CAN CAUSE THE VEICHAL TO SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER AND CAUSE A ACCEDENT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT JEEP HAS HAD FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX. OR IMPROVE THE PROBLEM IN THE VIECHEL.

TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JUMP IN AND OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAUSES GRINDING NOISES AND JERKING. WHICH THEREFORE CAUSES A HAZARD ON THE ROAD.

THE CAR IS DRIVING NORMAL AND SUDDENTLY , THE CAR STERLING WEEL GET HARD, THE BRAKES GET HARD WITHOUT ANT SIGNS , THE CAR SHORTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHTWAY . THIS SITUATION GOT NE KEATING MANU TINES FOR MY LIFE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. P0520 DEFAULT CODE RE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS FOR EXACT SAME ISSUE, NO RECALL BY JEEP. MY MECHANIC ALSO NOTED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR JEEP. JEEP CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE FOR THIS REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING FORWARD MY BACKUP CAMERA CAME ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. WHEN IT DID SHUT OFF, I HEARD THIS SIZZLING NOISE AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WENT OUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN IT WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING (OR WARNING LIGHTS) HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. RESTARTS AFTER 15-20 MINUTES.

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IN THE 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S ARE KNOWN TO HAVE COMPUTER PROBLEMS! MY COMPUTER WAS JUST REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AND WHEN I WENT TO GET MY CAR SERVICED (OIL CHANGE), I WAS TOLD THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS READING CODES THAT WOULD SUGGEST MY COMPUTER IS GOING OUT AGAIN.

CAR SHUT DOWN/WOULD ONLY CRANK WOULD NOT START. NO FUEL TO ENGINE. CAR SHUT DOWN AT STREET LIGHT. TAPPED ON RELAYS IN RELAY BOX UNDER HOOD THE VEHICLE STARTED.

THE ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED DESPITE NOT BEING INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISIONS, EVER. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC, THAT HOLDS IN A PIN, FAILED. THE PIN IS STILL STUCK WITHIN THE LATCH IN THE BACK OF THE HEADREST. AND THE HEADREST CANNOT HE RESET, AS THE PLASTIC IS BLOWN APART. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED THAT THE ONLY REPAIR TO THIS PROBLEM IS A NEW HEADREST.

THE SAFETY BELT IS RELEASE AND IS NOT FIXED ON THE DRIVER BODY.THIS LOCATED IN THE DRIVERS SEAT.

VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND NOT ON. WHEN I SIT IN THE VEHICLE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PRESS THE START BUTTON THE VEHICLE ONLY HALF CRANKS AND THE ELECTRIC ONLY TURNS ON. IT TAKES A FEW TRIES AFTER TURNING POWER OFF AND OPENING THE DOOR UNTIL IT WILL ACTUALLY START FULLY.

INTERMITTENT NO START, EXTENDED CRANK. ONCE STARTED, VEHICLE RUNS FINE. ISSUE BEGAN RIGHT AFTER RECALL R09 PERFORMED AT 43,574 MILES. ISSUE SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED BUT REPEATED AT 47,985 MILES.

CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON BOTH HIGHWAYS OR ON CITY'S STREETS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, IT WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF, TURN ITSELF ON, DECELERATE, ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. IN MAY OF 2017 THIS SAME ISSUE WAS ADDRESS BY THE DEALER UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I WAS ASSURED IT WAS FIXED. TODAY, JANUARY 2019. I AM STARTING TO HAVE A REPEAT OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS OF RANDOM DECELERATION, RANDOM ACCELERATIONS OR RANDOMLY TURNING OFF OR ON WHAIL IN MOTION. THIS IS A DAILY REACCUANCE STARTING AGAIN ON 1/3/2019. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, THE DEALERSHIP LARRY MILLER OF BOISE WILL REQUIRE PAYMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR OF AN OBVIOUS VEHICAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY THEM PRIOR UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE MY JEEP WAS PARKED, ENGINE OFF, IN MY DRIVEWAY (FLAT SURFACE), MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO GET OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. SHE TOUCHED ON TO THE METAL POLE FRAME OF THE DRIVERS HEADREST WITH HER HAND TO ASSIST HER IN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, THE HEADREST EXPLODED AND HIT HER IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD. IT HIT HER HARD ENOUGH FOR HER TO BE STUNNED AND TO SAY SHE SAW STARS. THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING YET NO RECALL. CHRYSLER HAS HAD TO RECALL THESE SO CALLED ACTIVE HEADRESTS BEFORE BUT MY JEEP WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DEACTIVATE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD AT ROUGHLY 20MPH, MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE HEAD REST EXPLODED AND INJURED MY WIFE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH SOME SERIOUS FORCE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND INSPECTING THE ISSUE I NOTICED THE HEAD REST'S PLASTIC BRACKET HOLDING IT ON HAD FAILED AND BROKE IN HALF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FEATURE FOR A REAR END COLLISION BUT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN THE HEAD REST EXPLODED.

JUNE 2017 HEARDNOISE LOUD TICKING, LIFTERS, CAM SHAFT, AND ROCKER ARM (GONE BAD)INTERNAL FAILURE.DECEMBER 2018 SAME PROBLEM NOISE, LOUD TICKING IN MOTOR.HEAR WHILE NOT MOVING AND HEAR WHILE MOVING.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE NIGHT MY JEEP STARTED MAKING A WHINING SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEATER SINCE IT WAS 12 DEGREES OUTSIDE THAT NIGHT. I LEAVE FOR WORK, GET ABOUT 6 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND MY JEEP STARTS FAILING. WARNING LIGHTS, BATTERY, TRACTION CONTROL, WIPERS SLOWLY GO ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD, LIGHTS DIMMING. I GOT TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER BUT IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING MY VEHICLE LOST ALL FUNCTIONALOTY (NO BREAKS, POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, ALL ELECTRONICS GONE) AND COULDNT STOP. IT FINALLY STOPS AND I'M LEFT WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD VEHICLE. 12AM IN FREEZING WEATHER WHILE 5 MONTHS PREGNANT. WHEN MY BOYFRIEND ARRIVED TO GET ME, HE NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAD SAT BARELY OUT OF THE ROAD IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT WITH NO HAZARDS POSSIBLE TO ALLOW OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE ME. WE FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ALTERNATOR RECALL ON MY JEEP AND TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS SCHEDULING ALLOWED. BEFORE ALTERNATOR BLEW MY JEEP HAD ZERO ISSUES. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS AND CALLED TO SAY MY JEEP WAS FIXED (NO LOANER CAR OFFERED). I GO UP THE NEXT DAY, THEY REPLACED THE PCM AND ALTERNATOR, THEY SAY NOTHING ELSE. I GO TO START MY JEEP AND IT CRANKS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND STARTS. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I GO BACK INSIDE TO THE DEALER WHO HAS SAID NOTHING THE LAST 2 DAYS ABOUT MY VEHICLE NOT RUNNING PROPERLY AND THEY TELL ME IT IS MY CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AND THEY SAID THEY COUL

FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL COMPLETED OVER A YEAR AGO AND FUEL PUMP STILL QUIT ON ME 30NOV2018 WHILE DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE. CAR WILL NOT CURRENTLY START DUE TO FUEL SYSTEM.

FUEL PUMP RELAY: OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN HARD TO START FOR SOME TIME. IT JUST TURNS OVER AS NORMAL BUT DOESN'T START. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAS SUPPOSEDLY BEEN FIXED BUT IT IS ACTING AS BEFORE THE RELAY REPAIR. SINCE THE RELAY RECALL HAS BEEN 'FIXED', I PUT IN A NEW FUEL PUMP. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. JEEP NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THESE!

CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT START, DEALER REFUSES TO COMPLETE THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. RECALL RO9 IS AN EXPANSION OF 14V-530

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IN THE CITY, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ENGINE SHUTDOWN, AND ENTIRELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR (STEERING, BREAKS ETC.) THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER'S CERTIFIED GARAGE, WHERE THE MALFUNCTION WAS IDENTIFIED AS A FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (THE SAME RELAY WHICH WAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, AS PART OF RECALL R09). THE GARAGE ALSO RE-CONFIRMED THAT THIS RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL, IN 2015. THE MEANING OF THIS FAILURE DEMONSTRATES THAT PRACTICALLY, REPLACING THE UNIT UNDER RECALL R09 HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND THE RISK IS STILL THERE! I HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO FCA IN EUROPE, AND WAS RESPONDED THAT THIS FAILURE "COULD HAPPEN IN 5 YEARS OLD CAR" AND THEREFORE, THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THEM TO WARN OTHER OWNERS. HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND ON-LINE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, MOST OF THEM IN THE US, INDICATING THAT THE FAILURE OF THE REPLACED FUEL RELAY IS COMMON, AND THAT FCA DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SEE THE LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/GRANDCHEROKEE/OTHER-FUEL-SYSTEM-PUMP-PROBLEMS.PHP I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT R09 (NHTSA SAFETY ISSUED ID #15V115 HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS?NHTSAID=15V115#RECALLS360) REFERS TO 5 YEARS OLD CARS, AND THE FAILURE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME REPLACED FUEL RELAY, HAD OCCURRED ONLY 3 YEARS LATER, AND THEREFORE, FCA RESPONSE IS IRRATIONAL AND WRONG. SINCE THE EVENT I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY NOR DO I LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE IT. I SIMPLY DON'T TRUST THE CAR AN

WHEN IN PARK... PRESSING THE START BUTTON THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER... IT CLICKS AND STOPS ON ITS OWN. I AWAIT MINUTES AND THEN PRESS THE START BUTTON.. THE ENGINE STARTS.. . IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PARK FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, AND START UP. I REPLACED A BATTERY, BUT IT STILL DOES IT. I FIND MYSELF STUCK OFTEN, I DONE THE RESEARCH AND HAVE OTHER COLLEAGUES WHOM HAVE GRAND JEEP CHEROKEES BUT YEAR 2014. THEY WERE ENTITLED TO A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR JEEP AS MINE. THIS HAPPENED NOVEMBER 17 2018 AND NOVEMBER 22ND..ONCE EACH AFTERNOON.

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL PUMP QUIT WORKING. AFTER STOPPING, CAR WOULD NOT START.

CRANKS AND DOSEN'T START

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR ACCIDENT CANNOT GET IT BACK IN PLACE OR TO LOCK IN
