WHEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS ON THE FOG LIGHTS FLASH AND THE TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT BLINK. WHEN I TURN THE FOG LIGHT BUTTON ON MY TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS UP BUT DOES NOT BLINK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TIPM THAT WAS FAULTY. NOW AFTER I GOT IT BACK BOTH FRONT TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AND THE BACK FLASHES FAST AND SOMETIMES FLASHES NORMALLY. ALSO BACK WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO IN JUNE 2017 THE CAR WOULD START AND I WOULD LET THE ENGINE WARM UP BUT ABOUT 20 SECONDS IN, IT WOULD STALL. WHEN DRIVING IT WOULD USUALLY STALL WHEN I WAS BREAKING AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. I REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR ABOUT 3 TIMES SO FAR AND STILL FEEL THE ENGINE LOSING POWER AT TIMES.

MY CAR DOES NOT START AT LEAST 10 TIMES A WEEK, I BELIEVE ITS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY AND MY VIN ISNT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS AND IT SHOULD BE. IVE READ MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND I TOOK IT TO FAIRFIELD JEEP WHERE THEY TOLD ME ONE THING OVER THE PHONE AND THEN UPON ARRIVAL IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEN THE PAPERS STATED SOMETHING ELSE DIFFERENT!
Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 20, 2018
SAFETY ISSUE- FIRE/EXPLOSION: GASOLINE FUMES OUTSIDE OF JEEP AT 63K MILES. DEALER COMPLETED SMOKE TEST AND REPORTED SMOKE EMITTED FROM TOP OF GAS TANK INDICATES LEAK FROM ONE OF SEVERAL ACCESS PORTS (FILLER PIPE ACCESS, FUEL PUMP ACCESS). DEALER CANNOT CONFIRM WITHOUT $1,600 FEE TO DROP TANK TO CONFIRM DIAGNOSIS. DEALER FELT LEAK DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN/MANUFACTURE/ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION OF PARTS (O-RINGS/SEALS/ETC.). I AM ORIGINAL OWNER, RETIRED,ON FIXED INCOME AND HAVE COMPLETED ALL RECALLS AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED VEHICLE. DEALER SUGGESTED I CALL JEEP CORPORATE (800-992-1997) AND ASK FOR "GOODWILL" REPAIR. AFTER 17 PHONE CALLS TO JEEP CORPORATE I CONTINUE TO GET: 1) NO REPLY, 2) NO CALLBACKS 3) CATCH 22 STATING I MUST PAY FOR TANK REMOVAL TO CONFIRM DIAGNOSIS, REPAIR AND DETERMINE IF PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. JEEP CORPORATE (KENISHA -OPERATOR KB805) TOLD ME TODAY (2-20-18) THAT DECISIONS WAS MADE NOT TO GRANT GOODWILL REPAIR DUE TO DEALER REPORT THAT LEAK PROBABLY (NOT CONFIRMED) DUE TO CORROSION AROUND ACCESS PORTS ON TOP OF GASOLINE AND WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. LEAKS DUE TO CORROSION BY "WEAR AND TEAR" AND NOT FAULTY DESIGN/ MANUFACTURE/ASSEMBLY OR INSTALLATION AT FACTORY. I WAS TOLD I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FULL COST OF REPAIR, IRRESPECTIVE OF POTENTIAL FIRES OR EXPLOSIONS DUE TO GASOLINE FUMES EMITTING FROM CORROSION ON TOP OF PLASTIC GAS TALK. I DISAGREE. THE DESIGN (INACCESSIBILITY TO TOP OF GAS TANK0), PARTS (NON-CORROSIVE STAINLESS STEEL METAL RETAINERS, AND O-RINGS), AND QUESTIONABLE ASSEMBLY HAVE RESULTED IN THIS POTENTIAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION TRAP. WITH SAFETY BEING IN THE NAME OF NHTSA, I AM HOPEFUL INVESTIGATION AND RECALL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING SO THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES PUTTING MY WIFE, CHILD, AND OTHERS AROUND THEM IN DANGER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS AND NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE WEB. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL FIX FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THEIR FIX IS NOT WORKING, AS WE HAVE HAD THIS "FIX" DONE TWICE, STILL HAVING THE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ISSUE. THERE ARE 188,000 OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS. THESE VEHICLES ARE A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.

OUR 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF, AND HAVE HAD THE JEEP IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AFTER THE LOSS OF POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR.

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.
