THESE PROBLEMS ARE RANDOM. FIRST ALRM HAS GONE OFF TWICE, THE DAY LIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS COME ON. THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZE THE KEY. THE DOM ELIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLICKERS SOME TIMES. THIS MOURNING THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO SHOWED AN INVALID TIME, SWITHED RADIO OFF, AND BACK ON, IT WENT TO THE CORRECT TIME. TOOK TO MACHANIC DESIGNATED BY THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THIS FROM 2 WEEKS AGO AND HE FOUND NO ISSUES. THE MILAGE IS 92000. I WILL CHANGE THE BATTERY OUT THIS WEEK, AND SEE IF THAT CORRECTS THESE ISSUES. WE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OR 2005 LINCOLN LS WHEN IT HAD A WEAK BATTERY.

TIMP RECALL, WAS REPAIRED JAN 2015. TODAY VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC, COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LOST POWER STEERING, WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT.

TODAY, MONDAY, MARCH 6TH, 2017; I WAS DRIVING TO WORK; A COUPLE OF MILES FROM MY HOUSE MY VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY FOR ME, IT WAS A LOW-SPEED AREA AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK DID NOT TURN ON AGAIN DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED A TOW AND IT TOOK IT TO A SHOP. I LEFT THE TRUCK THE ENTIRE DAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING IT WORKED AGAIN AND THAT APPARENTLY THERE WAS A MAL-FUNCTION WITH THE RELAY SYSTEM. THEY SAID THE GAS-PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND SUDDENLY WHEN THEY WERE CHECKING THE TPIM IT WORKED BY ITSELF. THEY COULD ONLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A MORE PROFOUND CHECK. I RECALLED I GOT A CARFAX NOT SO LONG AGO AND GOING BACK TO IT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TPIM FAILURES... THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WITH A VERY HIGH RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I WORK IN MANUFACTURING SUPPLYING PARTS TO DIFFERENT OEM'S AND IN THE PFMEA (POTENTIAL FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS) THIS WOULD HAVE A SEVERITY OF 10!!! I WILL FILE ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND WILL CALL THE NHTS TO GET MY TPIM REPLACED ASAP! I REALLY HOPE THEY CAN MAKE THIS QUICKLY. IF I CAN GET ANOTHER CAR I WILL DO BUT I WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY ON THE TRUCK FOR SURE.

THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL EXPERIENCE ENGINE STALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE FUNCTIONS. IT HAS LIKEWISE STALLED AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNALS WHICH IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEEDS EXPECTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT TO MOVE WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL (P54) RELATED TO THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER THE CHEAP EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS FIX THEY EMPLOYED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS INSUFFICIENT AT BEST. IN FACT, THE ISSUES WITH OUR FAMILY VEHICLE HAVE ACTUALLY WORSENED SINCE THE P54 RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN MAY OF 2015. THE VEHICLE'S PROBLEMS HAVE NOW PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START: A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF THESE DANGEROUS JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OUTLINING SIMILAR ISSUES I.E., THE VEHICLES BEING DIFFICULT TO START OR NOT STARTING AT ALL, VEHICLES' POWER WINDOWS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, DOOR LOCKS OPENING AND LOCKING ON THEIR OWN, HORN BLARING, THE VEHICLE NOT RECOGNIZING THE FOB, ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMPS REMAINING ON AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND STALLING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. A COMMON THEME RELATED TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER FOR THE VEHICLES OR THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). IT SEEMS FIAT - CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OEM MANUFACTURED TIPM PARTS FOR SOME TIME, SINCE 2007, BUT TOOK THE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE ROUTE OF CORRECTING ONLY A SMALL AND LESS DANGEROUS ISSUE OF THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. HENCE THEIR COURT ORDERED P54 EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP WIRING HARNESS, WHICH ON A GOOD DAY WILL CORRECT THE FUEL PUMP RUN-ON. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IS THE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE MANDATE A SAFETY RECALL.
