• 12/31/2018· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY ON A CITY STREET, HEARD A LOW WHINING SOUND, FOLLOWED BY THE DASHBOARD BATTERY WARNING LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. SOUND INCREASED AND DECREASED WITH VEHICLE SPEED. DROVE IMMEDIATELY HOME, LESS THAN A MILE, PARKED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE HOOD AND ISOLATED THE LOCATION OF THE WHINING SOUND TO THE ALTERNATOR AREA. AT THIS TIME I COULD ALSO SMELL A BURNING ODOR (BEING AN ELECTRICIAN).I PUT A METER TO THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND RECORDED A VOLTAGE OF 11.5,INDICATING THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF SMOKE THAT I COULD SEE AS THE TIME WAS ABOUT 9PM. BUT THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WAS CLEARLY PRESENT.

• 12/31/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY POWER DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THE DAY I WAS GOING TO DRIVE MY JGC TO THE DEALER, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. PARK ASSIST STOPPED WORKING, ANTI SKID AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE ALSO INDICATED ERRORS. BUT WORSE, I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFTING ARM OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO HAVE IT DRAGGED OUT OF MY GARAGE BY A LOCAL TOWING SERVICE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ONCE IT IS REPLACED, THEY CAN CHECK ON THE POWER DOOR LOCK ISSUE. I'VE READ THE THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2012 JGC. IN FACT, IT MUST BE BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID THAT HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A RECENT TRIP TO NYC, MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK GOD KNOWS WHERE.

• 12/31/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  I DID NOT HAVE AN ACTUAL INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE - MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE LACK OF ACTION FOR CERTAIN RECALLS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON AUGUST 22, 2014 STATING THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY VEHICLE MAY PREMATURELY CORRODE AND INGEST WATER. IF THE WATER FREEZES, THE DRIVER MAY HAVE TO APPLY FORCE WHICH MAY SLOW THE DRIVER'S BRAKE REACTION TIME AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. QUITE A FRIGHTENING SCENARIO. I CALLED MY JEEP SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR PART FOR THIS RECALL IS ON BACKORDER DUE TO A PARTS SHORTAGE. I WAS ASKED TO BE PUT ON A LIST AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART ARRIVES. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER ON DECEMBER 18, 2014 (4 MONTHS LATER). I WAS TOLD THAT I AM NUMBER 124 ON THE WAITING LIST AND THAT THEY WERE ONLY AT NUMBER 40. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER ONLY SENDS THE SERVICE CENTER ONE REPAIR PART AT A TIME AND WHEN THEY COMPLETE ONE REPAIR, THEN CHRYSLER SENDS THEM ANOTHER REPAIR PART FOR THE NEXT CUSTOMER. I THEN ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THIS FAULTY PART - HE DID NOT ANSWER ME - ALL HE SAID WAS THAT "HE KNOWS WHAT I KNOW". ALSO A FRIGHTENING SCENARIO. DURING THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REPAIR, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ALTERNATOR DIOIDE THAT MAY EXPERIENCE RAPID FAILURE IN WHICH VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICAL LEVELS AND DISABLE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND THE CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER. THIS MAY LEAD TO VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AND/OR AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THIS RECALL NOTICE STATES PLAINLY THAT "THE PARTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE". CRAZY! *JS

• 12/31/2014· STEERING

  WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN (WIDE RIGHT, NOT SHARP RIGHT) THE ENGINE "STALLED" AND ALL STEERING CAPABILITY WAS LOST. THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO "STRAIGHTEN OUT". IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF STRENGTH TO KEEP THE WHEEL FROM TURNING BACK TO CENTER. AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL FURTHER TO THE RIGHT. FORTUNATELY NO TRAFFIC AT THAT LOCATION SO I WAS ABLE TO "GUIDE" (NOT STEER) THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT "STALLED" IN QUOTES BECAUSE THIS WAS MORE LIKE A "LOCKUP" THAN A STALL. THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE STILL ON. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. RADIO CONTINUED PLAYING. HEATER FAN WAS STILL RUNNING. POWER BRAKES WERE STILL FUNCTIONING. FYI: THIS IS THE REGULAR HEMI ENGINE. RE-STARTING THE CAR WAS ODD TOO. IT DIDN'T "CRANK". UPON PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE "SNAPPED ON" - LIKE THOSE NEWER STOP/START ENGINES WHEN AT A RED LIGHT. THE NEXT HOUR OF DRIVING WAS NORMAL. *JS

• 12/29/2023· POWER TRAIN

  The transmission shifts strangely, and it seems like it cannot decide which gear it needs to be in for normal operations. It also causes the vehicle to stall while driving. Also, at times it stays in only one gear, and you cannot even shift gears manually. Intermittently, the vehicle starts out in a higher gear, and it doesn’t correct itself, so acceleration is way below what it needs to be. I have been fortunate to avoid a few crashes due to the stalling.

• 12/29/2018· ENGINE

  YESTERDAY MY JEEP ENGINE TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME FROM DINNER. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON CITY ROADS EITHER BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, AS I TAKE THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR WORK. CONINCIDENTSLLY BOTH INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT. I DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, BUT NOTICED BECAUSE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THE RADIO, DASH AND INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER FLICKERED OR TURNED OFF WHEN THE INGINE STALLED. AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS NOT AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY COME TO A STOP WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY WERE VERY SLOW TO REACT. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND STARTED IT RIGHT UP BOTH TIMES. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND PANIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING.

  VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER VANITY MIRROR AREA. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND CALLED 911. THE RESPONDING FIREMEN HAD TO CUT A HOLE IN THE ROOFLINER OF THE AUTOMOBILE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE START OF THE FIRE, WHICH THEY CONFIRMED WAS THE WIRING TO THE VISOR. THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS CONFIRMED BY SERVICE EMPLOYEES AT THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO, AS WELL AS INVESTIGATIVE ENGINEERS FOR CHRYSLER, AS FAULTY WIRING TO THE VISOR LIGHTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V391000, CHRYSLER RECALL #P36. A RECALL FOR THE VISOR WIRING WAS ISSUED, AND REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRE IN THE VANITY AREA OF THE AUTOMOBILE OCCURRED ROUGHLY A MONTH AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE SOLUTION FOR THE RECALL ISSUE IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE INVESTIGATED.

IN OCTOBER 2014 (5 MONTHS LATER) I CALLED TO SEE WHY I WAS NOT GETTING CALLED IN FOR THE RECALL SERVICE. A VERY RUDE PARTS DEPARTMENT STAFF LAUGHED AND TOLD ME IT COULD BE MONTHS AS THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH PARTS. HE TOLD ME TO JUST WAIT UNTIL I WAS CONTACTED.

I HAVE CONTACTED BRENNER CHRYSLER JEEP THREE TIMES ABOUT THIS RECALL AND CHRYSLER ONCE SINCE MY FIRST RECALL NOTIFICATION. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MORE THAN 100 VEHICLES REMAIN AHEAD OF MINE AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND PARTS ARE BEING SHIPPED FOR REPAIR SLOWLY AND ERRATICALLY. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED ANYTHING IN WRITING TO VERIFY MY PLACE ON THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR LIST. ALL MY CALLS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED WITH UNSYMPATHETIC, UNCONCERNED, AND UNINFORMED RESPONSES, AND UNTIL NOW, WITH CHRYSLER'S SECOND NOTIFICATION, I WAS REFUSED INFORMATION ON HOW TO REPORT THIS SITUATION TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WHEN I ASKED.

  AROUND SEP OF THIS YEAR CHRYSLER NOTIFIED ME OF TWO RECALLS ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE; P36 / NHTSA 14V-391 (SUN VISOR WIRING) AND P14 / NHTSA 14V-154 (BRAKE BOOSTER CORROSION).. WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL OCT AS THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, PLANET JEEP IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ ON 10 OCT AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WAS RATIONING PARTS AND THAT THEY WOULD PLACE ME ON A LIST. I'VE BEEN IN THAT VIRTUAL QUEUE WAITING ON PARTS SINCE 10 OCVT 2014 AND EVERY TIME I CALL THE DEALER I'M STILL ON THE LIST. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE POOR SERVICE AS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR PARTS TO FIX SAFETY PROBLEMS FOR GOING ON THREE MONTHS. I'VE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL RECALLS OVER THE PAST 40-YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN EXCESSIVE DELAY LIKE THIS. IT IS ACTUALLY EASIER TO GET MY MERCEDES BENZ REPAIRED AND THE NEAREST DEALER IS A 2 HOUR DRIVE FROM HEAR. CHRYSLER HAS DEMONSTRATED A LACK OF CONCERN AND NO SENSE OF URGENCY TO CORRECT TWO SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. THEIR ADVISE TO ME WAS TO CONTINUE CONTACTING MY DEALER TO ENSURE I'M STILL ON THE WAITING LIST. *TR

• 12/26/2021· ENGINE

  My 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 5.7 hemi has had all recalls and the one for fuel pump relay V62/NHTSA 19V-813 completed Aug 2021. It is still shutting off while driving with no warning. This has occurred 3 times since August with the most recent being on Dec 26th 2021 in Leesburg Va. Stalls while driving causing the power steering to not function as well as the brakes. This engine power turns off randomly at around 10-15 mph (when making turns, stopping and/or decelerating) but there are no warning lights that appear on the dash. All electrical power to the car still functions and the engine stall is not noticeable until applying pressure to the brakes or trying to steer the wheels. Once i get the vehicle manually stopped and put the gear shift in Park, hit the start button, the vehicle starts up every time and will run for weeks or months before it happens again. Very dangerous. This recall needs to be reconsidered as this did not solve the issue. Matter of time before it is involved in a crash.. Taking to dealership tomorrow 27th or 28th.

  APRIL 5, 2013, LESS THAN A YEAR (PURCHASED - 2012 JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE LAREDO) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND INFORMED MY SERVICE PROVIDER (JEEP DEALERSHIP) THERE IS A "PROBLEM" WITH THE CYLINDER HEAD. VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, LESS THAN 10K MILES AND ALREADY A MAJOR PART MUST BE REPLACED ON A "BRAND NEW" VEHICLE. I AM INFORMED THAT IS NOT A COMMON, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON". REPAIR TOOK MORE THAN THREE DAYS, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ENGINE MUST BE TAKEN OUT TO REPLACE THESE TWO CYLINDERS. VERY ALARMING AND VERY CONCERNED FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS VEHICLE, WHAT ELSE COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG NEXT? TWO MONTHS LATER, DRIVER SIDE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO CRACKS IN THE "LEATHER". TWO MONTHS AFTER, BRAKES ARE MAKING STRANGE NOISES, ACCELERATION VERY SLOW, STALLS, MUST PRESS VERY HARD ON GAS PEDAL FOR VEHICLE TO PICK UP SPEED, VERY FRIGHTENING ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY. DOOR PANELS APPEARS LOOSE, THE DOORS (3) WILL NOT STAY OPEN, REQUIRES EXTRA PUSH AND HOLD BEFORE IT STAYS OPEN BY ITSELF. TO CLOSE THE DOOR I MUST LITERALLY SLAM THE DOOR, OTHERWISE NOT SHUT, VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY CHILDRENS SIT BACK THERE. HOPEFULLY THIS IS MY LAST ENCOUNTER THE CAMERAS (BACK) OF VEHICLE FLASH ON AND OFF, I AM VERY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHEN THE POSITION OF THE DRIVER SEAT MAKES LOOKING BACK VERY DIFFICULT, THE CAMERA CANNOT BE FUNCTIONING INEFFICIENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS A 3/YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED I DO NOT FIND THAT TO BE SUFFICIENT OR EVEN UTTERLY APPROPRIATE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE NOT A USED. IF THERE WERE NO WARRANTIES I COULD NOT IMAGINED PAYING OUT OF POCKET THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS. *TR

  Two similar incidents to report during week of Dec 15th 2025 on surface streets: Was driving 25 mph when 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee just came to a complete stop -- without any warning signs of a problem. Vehicle stalled with no engine power and loss of power steering. I could not steer the vehicle to the side of the road. Was just stuck. The emergency lights did work. I put the vehicle in park and restarted the engine after about 30 seconds. The vehicle drove normally therafter. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IS IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC. This same stalling of the vehicle with no power or steering ability has happened 2 other times before earlier in 2025. The Dealer insists there is no recall, but this looks like the same problem that this Jeep had in 2019 when the dealer replace the fuel pump relay as part of a previous recall. Obviously that recall was not effective.

  A YEAR AGO I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY CAR NOT STARTING JUST WEEKS AFTER COMPLETING A MAJOR (NORMAL) SERVICE. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP DIRECTLY, I HAD MY JEEP TOWED AND THEY AGREED TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP (A RECALL THAT HAD RECENTLY COME OUT, BUT NOT YET ON MY SPECIFIC JEEP). THE FIX SEEMED TO WORK FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN BEGAN HAPPENING AGAIN, ONLY NOW I CAN SOMETIMES START THE JEEP AFTER WAITING AWHILE. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN MY JEEP WOULDN'T START AGAIN, I CALLED SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN, ALONG WITH AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN I PICKED UP MY JEEP, I LEARNED THAT THE FIX WAS NOT DONE. THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. I COMPLAINED TO THE CASHIERS THAT THE JEEP NOT STARTING WAS THE MAIN REASON I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND MY SERVICE ADVISER. I ASKED THEM TO HAVE HIM CALL ME. HE NEVER CALLED. I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES AND I'VE SENT EMAILS TO THE SUPERVISOR, AND NO RETURN CALLS. NOW I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM IN ADDITION TO THE JEEP NOT ALWAYS STARTING, I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT WATER SLOSHING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOTE: EACH TIME THAT MY CAR HAS FAILED TO START, IT WAS FIRST IN THE OFF POSITION AND PARKED. THE NUMBER OF TIMES MY JEEP HAS FAILED TO START, OR DIED AFTER START HAD BEEN MORE THAN 10 TIMES.

  I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 APPROACHING A SIGNAL LIGHT. I LET OFF THE GAS AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AS THE LIGHT WAS RED. AS I LET OFF THE GAS, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV HIGHER AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE I HAD TO APPLY IT HARDER AND HARDER AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV EVEN HIGHER. I BEGAN TO SMELL THE BRAKES BURNING AS THEY TRIED TO HOLD THE CAR BACK. FORTUNATELY I HAD THE FORESIGHT TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. IT CONTINUED TO REV FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN WENT DOWN TO NORMAL. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY CONTACTED THE DETROIT TECHNICAL BUREAU AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT, OR MY FOOT, ETC, ETC BUT CLAIMED THEY HAD NO OTHER REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING. I DON'T HAVE CARPETS AS I OPTED FOR THE RUBBER MATS AND THEY SIT TIGHT TO THE FLOOR. AND MY FOOT WAS NOT STUCK ON THE GAS. I WAS CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND NOT THE GAS AS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON. THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT AND DID COMPUTER CHECKS AND HAD NO EXPLANATION. THE SERVICE REP SAID THE RESPONSE FROM THE TECHNICAL BUREAU WOULD BE "INSULTING TO ME". THE DEALER WAS BRADSHAW JEEP IN WATERTOWN, CT AND THE SERVICE REP WAS VICTOR. I WROTE THIS OUT ON THE SERVICE ORDER AND KEPT A COPY. *TR
