HAVE TRIED 3 TIMES TO TAKE THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF QUALIFIED MECHANICS TO DO THE RECALL. ONE DEALER GAVE ME A CONFIRMED APPOINTMENT AND AFTER WAITING 3 HOURS FOR MY VEHICLE, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MECHANICS TO REPAIR IT THAT DAY. I HAD TO LEAVE WITH THE CAR IN THE SAME CONDITION I BROUGHT IT IN. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOOSE ANY MORE WORK AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T GIVE LOANER CARS FOR RECALLS. I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN. THEIR DEALERS ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND DON'T HONOR THEIR SERVICE APPOINTMENTS EVEN WHEN YOU ARE WAITING 3 HOURS FOR THE CAR. MY VEHICLE'S RECALLS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN. I STILL HAVE TO PAY THE BANK MY MONTHLY INSTALLMENT EVEN IF THE CAR IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE I MUST HONOR MY CONTRACT WITH THE BANK. HOW ABOUT JEEP DEALERS HONORING THEIR CONTRACTS WITH THE FACTORY.

THE GEAR IS SLIPPING IT TAKES A HARD TIME TO COME OUT OF 1ST GEAR ALMOST AS THE CAR NEEDS TO WARM UP.THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR MONTHS AND I SEE THERE HAS BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PINNED TO THE FLOORBOARD. I ATTEMPTED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL LEAVING THE CAR STILL ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC UP TO AND BEYOND 90 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DID SEE A WARNING LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD BUT WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH IT. I LATER LOOKED IT UP IN MY OWNERS MANUAL AND IT WAS THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" ETC) LIGHT. REALIZING THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO TRY TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY PRESSING AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. THIS WAS MODERATELY SUCCESSFUL AND ALLOWED ME TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO A MANAGEABLE SPEED TO LANE CHANGE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. ONCE THERE I USED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE I WAS ABLE TO ALMOST STOP THE CAR WHILE THE ENGINE RACED. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN GEAR SO I THREW THE CAR INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON. THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS SAFELY STOPPED ALONGSIDE THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE SCHEDULED IT TO BE SERVICED AND WILL HOPEFULLY GET SOME SORT OF DATA FROM THE CAR AS TO THE MALFUNCTION. ## VIN PASSED ## JEEP GRAND CHEROKE

MULTIPLE EPISODES OF EXTENDED CRANK WITHOUT START. ALSO SEVERAL EPISODES OF STALLING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING - 1X IN DRIVE BUT ANOTHER TIME ON HIGHWAY AT NIGHT IN TRAFFIC. ALL EPISODES HAVE HAPPENED IN 2017 STARING AUGUST THROUGH 'NOW'. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER SERVICE 4 X WITHOUT RESOLUTION. CURRENTLY WITH DEALER BEING OPERATED WITH A "FLIGHT RECORDER" AS THEY DID EXPERIENCE PROBLEM BUT COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE MECHANICAL SOURCE - THEY CONTACTED "CHRYSLER" FOR ADVICE. I'M LUCKY, I'M DRIVING A LOANER FOR 3 WEEKS NOW FROM MY DEALERSHIP.

NHTSA RECALL #17V-435. ALTERNATOR NEEDS CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NO FAILED DIODES. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 6 MONTHS AGO OR SO AND I KEEP GETTING TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE CONSIDERING PER THE RECALL, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH.

MONDAY 5, JUNE 2107 COMING OFF HIGHWAY 695 MY JEEP STARTED SHUTTING DOWN, I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MY JEEP SHUT EVERYTHING OFF. I HAD MY JEEP TOWED TO THE LOCAL JEEP SERVICE SHOP. NEXT MORNING TATE JEEP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD ABOUT TWO WEEKS, AND ABOUT $2,500 TO REPAIR MY JEEP. I CALLED A MECHANIC THAT I KNOW, I TOLD HIM WHAT TATE TOLD ME HE HAD MY JEEP TOWED TO HIM. HE USED THE DIAGNOSTICS TOOL TO DIAGNOSE MY JEEP THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, STARTER, ECM IT WOULD TAKE HIM ABOUT A WEEK TO COMPETE ALL THE NEEDED WORK AND ABOUT $1,100 ESTIMATE. I PAID $1,800 AND HAD TO USE 16 HOURS OF VACATION TIME FROM MY JOB. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2017. WHILE TALKING WITH MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING. LATER I STARTED SEARCHING FOR YOU-TUBE CLIPS, AND THEN AUTO RECALLS POPPED-UP. OMG I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER AND MY JEEP HAS 5 RECALLS! REALLY FIVE. AS INSTRUCTED I CALL THE LOCAL JEEP RETAILER AND EXPLAIN ALL OF MY ISSUES THAT MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING AND THE NHTSA RECALLS. THE SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDS FOR ME TO HAVE MY JEEP TOWED TO THEM BUT THEY COULDN'T LOOK AT IT UNTIL NEXT MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2017. SO ON THAT NOTE I ASKED IF THEY OFFER CAR RENTAL? NO THEY DON'T THAT'S CRAZY THE RECALLS ARE FROM YOUR MANUFACTURER.

FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE BY DEALERSHIP. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE BEGIN HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS IN THE RECALL. VEHICLE WOULD STOP RUNNING AFTER BEING CRANKED, WOULD FAIL TO CRANK, AND WOULD HAVE EXTENDED CRANKING TIME. I OBSERVED NO FUEL PUMP SOUNDS DURING NO RUN/ NO CRANK CONDITIONS. ASE CERTIFIED SHOP DIAGNOSED FAULT; REPAIR WAS REPLACEMENT OF FUEL PUMP RELAY INSTALLED DURING RECALL. VEHICLE HAS HAD ZERO FAILURE SINCE THIS REPAIR. THIS FAILURE IS AS DANGEROUS AS ORIGINAL RECALL FAILURE, AND OCCURRED WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES OF RECALL. SHOP MANAGER STATED THIS WAS SECOND SUCH FAILURE HIS SHOP HAS FIXED ON ALREADY "FIXED BY RECALL" VEHICLES.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AWAITING A RECALL REPAIR AND ACCUMULATING STORAGE REPAIRS. UPDATED 11/7/2017*JS

CONSTANT P06DD CODE. CODE WILL SHOW UP DAILY AFTER BEING CLEARED. HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR 2 MONTHS PLUS. DEALERSHIP HAS NO HELP IN FIXING THE ISSUE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY EVENING OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND (9/1/2017) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE WENT ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO A GOOD YEAR DEALERSHIP IN TOWN. THEY TOLD ME MY ALTERNATOR WAS GOING OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS ON THAT VEHICLE AT THAT TIME ALTHOUGH, I DO THINK ONE EXISTED. WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP ABOUT THIS THE FOLLOWING WEEK THEY INDICATED A RECALL WAS IN PLACE AND I NEEDED TO SUBMIT A FORM FOR REIMBURSMENT. I HAVE CHECKED WITH JEEP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK BUT WILL NOT BE ISSUEING REFUND CHECKS UNTIL 2018. THIS IS FIVE MONTHS AFTER I HAVE INCURRED THE EXPENSE AND SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

THE TIPM FAILED ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A SUDDEN STOP. ALL FUNCTIONS IN THE CAR WERE HALTED. THIS RESULTED IN STRANDING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1349.36 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TIPM. NUMEROUS RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM REVEALS MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM FROM JEEP WHICH COULD LIKELY TO RESULT IN SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEMS NOT TO MENTION VERY COSTLY REPAIRS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FURTHER.

HI ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2017, WHILE DRIVING MY BUS QUIETLY, I FEEL A STRANGE NOISE IN MY BUS JEEP, SUDDENLY WARMED UP, THEY TURNED ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL AND WENT OUT , WE CALLED THE SERVICE OF CRANE, TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TRIANGLE IN MAYAGUEZ, P.R. WHEN I GO TO THE DEALER, THEY NOTIFY ME THAT MY JEEP HAS AN ALTERNATOR RECALL (WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION, SINCE THE DEALER HAS MY WRONG ADDRESS IN HIS RECORD). THE DEALER NOTIFIES ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PIECE IN THE WAREHOUSE AND THAT THEY HAVE TO ORDER IN FLORIDA AND THAT IT WILL TAKE MAYBE TWO WEEKS. MY HUSBAND, MR. HECTOR CABAN SEEING THAT THIS SITUATION WAS GOING TO BECOME A LITTLE DIFFICULT DECIDED TO RENT A A CAR AT ALLIED CAR. WE PAID $656.70 IN CAR RENTAL. THE DEALER PROMISED TO GIVE ME A CAR AND AT THIS MOMENT OCTOBER 26, 2017 NOTHING HAPPENS. CURRENTLY, I AM RESIDENT OF PUERTO RICO AND IN THIS PROCESS HURRACAINE MARIA ARRIVES IN PUERTO RICO ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2017. ACTUALLY THE DEALER INFORM TO ME THAT THEY HAVE NO LIGHTS NO SYSTEM AND THEY CANNOT FIX MY BUS PROMPTLY. ACTUALLY THEY INFORM TO ME THAT MY ALTERNATOR ARE IN THE DOCKS IN SAN JUAN, PR AND THESE TRUCKS ARE CONFISCATED BY FEMA, SINCE THE PRIORITY IS TO TAKE THE TRUCKS WITH FOOD AND WATER TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF HURRACAINE MARIA. I NEED TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION, AND THE DEALER HAS TAKEN TOO LONG TO RESOLVE THIS, THEY ARE VERY NEGLIGENT AND NOT AT ALL EMPATHIC WITH THIS. THIS RECALL WAS IN JUNE, WHY I WAS NEVER WARNED, THIS SITUATION CO

TIPM FAILURE. CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. FORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T DISCOVERED WHAT ELSE IS FAILING IN THE POWER MODULE, BUT DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS RECALLED?

WHEN YOU PUSH THE IGNITION BUTTON, THE ENGINE CRANKS BUT IT WON'T START. IT TAKES A FEW ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STARTS. AFTER IT STARTS YOU START TO DRIVE IT AND THE IT STALLS AS YOU ARE DRIVING IT. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD (MORNINGS OR AFTER IT HASN'T BEEN USED FOR SEVERAL HOURS). AFTER RESEARCHING IT THERE IS A FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL ON SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE. THE RECALL IS FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING THE HEHE VEHICLE AS IT STALLS AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.

BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A FAULTY RECALL FIX. ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND HURT MY FOOT TRYING TO STOP THE JEEP. THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL WAS ADDRESSED IN 2014 BUT THE SHIELD THAT WAS INSTALLED FAILED WHICH LED TO THE FAILURE OF THE BOOSTER.

THE ALTERNATOR FAILED TO CHARGE AND EVENTUALLY SMOKED AND ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS WAS DURING DRIVING. NO WARNING PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. HAD TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR VIA PERSONAL MECHANIC.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK MY JEEP INTO THE DEALER, MY JEEP HAS APPROX. 61K MILES, VERY GOOD CARE TAKEN, OIL CHANGES, ETC., HAS NOT EVEN NEEDED NEW BRAKES YET. DEALERSHIP SAYS THER IS SMALL EVAP LEAK IN EXHAUST SYSTEM - $285 LATER, THE LIGHT IS OFF.

I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. SERVICE MANAGER THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, BUT NO. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION SHOULD MY STEERING GO OUT AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING WHILE IDLING AT A STOP, AND THEN THE ALTERNATOR BEGAN MAKING A WHINING NOISE AFTER VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING AND VEHICLE BEGAN THROWING CODES (CHECK PARK ASSIST) .

(WIPERS COMING ON BY THEMSELVES, ETC.) HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE COMPUTER BUT CHARGED ME $600 AND DENIED IT WAS RELATED TO THE ALTERNATOR. RECALL NOTICE THEN RECEIVED FOR ALTERNATOR, BUT I'M NOW OUT $1,244.21 FOR ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, GROUND STRAPS, TOW AND COMPUTER. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE BY JEEP TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THIS RECALL. HAVE SUBMITTED RECEIPTS TO JEEP BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL BE COVERED SINCE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX COMPUTER AS A RELATED EXPENSE TO THE ALTERNATOR.

STALLING AND FAILING TO START (STARTER KEEPS CRANKING BUT NEVER TURNS OVER)LEAVING ME STRANDED

ALTERNATOR CAUGHT FIRE, HEAVY SMOKE MINUTES AFTER THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASH. WAS ABLE TO CONTAIN FIRE TO ALTERNATOR WITH WATER HOSE. MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS NOW NOTED IN CAR, UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK, CAR WILL NOT START. CAR ALSO STATING "PUSH CLUTCH TO START" ON DASH, VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CLUTCH

AS THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, IT DOES NOT MATTER FOR 5 MINUTES OR 5 HOURS, WHEN THE START BUTTON IS DEPRESSED THE ENGINE TURNS OVER, BUT DOES NOT START. WHEN ATTEMPTED A SECOND TIME, IT WILL TURN OVER CONTINUSLY FOR 20 SECONDS, AND FAIL TO START. THE PROBLEM MY PERSIST FOR MANY ATTEMPS, OR MAY RECTIFY ITS SELF AND START.
