SOMETIMES, NOT OFTEN WHEN I USE THE CABLE TV REMOTE MY VEHICLE STARTS UP IN THE GARAGE AND RUNS FOR 15 MINUTES OR UNTIL I TURN IT OFF, IF I KNOW IT HAS STARTED. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I TURN MY ELECTRONIC FIRE PLACE ON. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEND I HERD A NOISE, I THOUGHT WAS A CAR RUNNING IN MY DRIVE WAY, AS I WALKED INTO THE GARAGE TO OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR I KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT WAS MY VEHICLE AND RAN FOR THE KEYS TO TURN IT OFF, THE GARAGE WAS FULL OF EXHAUST FUMES SO I HELD MY BREATH AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. GOOD THING I NOT HAVE KIDS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS IN MY STATE INCLUDING WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAY THEY FIX IT, HOWEVER IT STILL NOT FIXED. IT SEEMS ALL THEY DO IS RESET THE BATTERY, I HAVE TOLD THEM I ALREADY DID THAT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SAME OLE SAME OLE, YADA YADA YADA

I HAD THE TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS "FIX" DONE LAST FALL AFTER FAILING TO START A NUMBER OF TIMES. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE I HAD THE REPAIR DONE. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT FAILS TO START A FEW TIMES EACH WEEK, EVENTUALLY STARTING AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO ERROR CODES). THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND APPARENTLY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY RELATED TO THE TIPM. I CONTINUE TO PAY DIAGNOSTIC CHARGES SINCE NO "CODES" ARE REGISTERING ANYWHERE. ($150.00) UNTIL THEY GET A "ERROR CODE", THEY CLAIM THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. I JUST WANT MY CAR TO START AND RUN WELL! *TR

FIRST INCIDENT WAS: ~11/24/2014 TOOK TO MOTHER LODE MOTORS, SONORA, CA SECOND INCIDENT WAS: 3-09-2015 TOOK TO MOTOR LODE MOTORS FOR RECALL P54/ NHTSA 14V-530 ( TIPM); TOOK TO CENTRAL VALLEY MOTORS IN MODESTO, CA MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. THE STARTING MOTOR CONTINUED TO TURN OVER EVEN WHEN I STOPPED PRESSING IT. BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A JEEP DEALER WITHIN 70 MILES, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER (DODGE) WHO CLAIMED TO BE ABLE TO MECHANICALLY WORK ON JEEPS. THEY USED TO BE A JEEP DEALER. I TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM. I LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO RESET THE COMPUTER. ($300). NO PARTS REPLACED. FOUR MONTHS LATER (3/9/2015) , THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, ONLY IT WAS WORSE. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME GARAGE, AND LEFT IT OVER NIGHT. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. ($1507). I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A REAL JEEP DEALER TO GET A RECALL ITEM FIXED. (P54/NHTSA 14V-530, TIPM). WHEN I MENTIONED THE ABOVE INCIDENT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL ITEM WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ABOVE INCIDENT, AND WHAT THE DODGE DEALER DID WAS NOT NECESSARY. FIXING THE RECALL ITEM WOULD HAVE FIXED IT, AT NO COST. THE DEALER THAT DID THE "UNNECESSARY" WORK THAT COST ME $1807, WAS "MOTHER LODE MOTORS" IN SONORA, CA 95370. I WENT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD A SUPERVISOR ABOUT THE INCIDENT, AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME, DIDN'T SAY A WORD, DIDN'T EVEN ASK MY NAME OR APOLOGIZE. I CALLED THE OWNER OF MOTHER LODE MOTORS TO LET HIM KNOW OF MY COMPLAINT, AND HE BASICALLY ACCUSED ME OF MAKING EXCUSES AND SAID, ?HOW DID I KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?? AGAIN NO APOLOGY. *TR

I RECEIVED NOTICE BY MAIL IN DECEMBER THAT MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAD A RECALL (P36 SUN VISOR WIRING) AND THERE WAS A RISK OF FIRE DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO DADELAND DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN MIAMI, FL TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS BEING REPAIRED AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS CALLED TO GO PICK IT UP BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD BEEN DONE AND THE CAR WAS GOOD AS NEW. FAST FORWARD TO TUESDAY, APRIL 14TH AND I AM DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. MY CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND I COULD NOT BREATHE IN THE CAR. I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM SO I STARTED OPENING ALL THE WINDOWS AND NOTICED THERE WAS A FIRE BY THE SUN VISOR. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD DISABLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE SUNROOF TO LET THE SMOKE OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRULY FEARED FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE THE CAR HAD FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE SUN VISOR WAS COMPLETELY BURNED. THE FIRE COULD HAVE BURNED ME HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY AND UNABLE TO STOP. I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT I DID MY PART, TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RECALL FIXED, AND WAS RETURNED A CAR THAT WAS CLEARLY NOT FIXED. THIS FIRE COULD HAVE SEVERELY INJURED ME AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS MODEL CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS, INCLUDING ONE INVOLVING THE BREAKS, AND TO BE HONEST, I JUST DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I SIMPLY WANT BACK WHAT I PAID FOR THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECTED VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DIES ON ME WHEN I START TO DECELERATE WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN/SIGNAL LIGHT. WHEN IT DOES DIE THERE ARE NO DUMMY LIGHTS AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER VEHICLE WHENEVER IT DECIDES TO DIE. IN FACT WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED JUST 2 DAYS AGO AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE JEEP DIED TO WHICH THE CAR BEHIND US HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS US. AGAIN THIS SO DANGEROUS IN THE FACT THAT WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THIS JEEP IN NOT KNOWING WHEN WE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY JEEP WORKED ON TWICE TO FIX THE TIPM AT BILLY CRAFT CHRYSLER JEEP. IN AUGUST THEY ADVISED THEY WERE DOING A TEMPORARY FIX. ON DECEMBER 16, 2014 THEY INDICATED THAT THEY COMPLETED RECALL P54 AND INPUT THIS INTO THE SYSTEM AS COMPLETE - MY VEHICLE HAS NOW STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. IN ADDITION WHEN THE TEMPORARY FIX WAS DONE IN AUGUST THIS CAUSED THE AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SENSOR TO STOP WORKING - BILLY CRAFT STATES THIS IS A COINCIDENCE AND UNRELATED. DESPITE INDICATING THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN ITS ENTIRETY, I FOUND OUT THIS WEEK BILLY CRAFT CHRYSLER JEEP DID NOT IN FACT COMPLETE THE RECALL DESPITE TELLING ME THEY DID AND INPUTTING INTO THE CORPORATE JEEP SYSTEM THAT THIS HAD BEEN COMPLETED AS OF 12/16/14. I AM NOW HAVING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AGAIN TO HAVE THE ACTUAL FIX COMPLETED. IF THERE ARE RECALLS MADE, THE SHOPS PERFORMING THE RECALL FIXES SHOULD MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEGRITY AND ACTUALLY COMPLETE THESE OR THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AGAINST THEIR BUSINESS. I AM NOW WORKING WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER AND WILL BE TRADING MY JEEP IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROADS IS NOT WORTH THIS. *TR
