THE WIN MODULE TO THE JEEP HAS BEEN MESSING UP. THE CAR DOORS WILL LOCK ON THEIR OWN, THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN, AND NOW THE JEEP HAS JUST DECIDED TO START ON ITS OWN. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE KEY FOB SO WE TRIED TO GET A NEW FOB AND COME TO FIND OUT IT IS NOT THE FOB CAUSE IT DID THE SAME THING WITH A NEW FOB PROGRAMMED TO IT. SO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US IT WAS THE WIN MODULE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT FOR A DIFFERENT YEAR MAKE. SO JEEP SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS A HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS

TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING BRAKING, WHILE IN MOTION, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. LOST POWER BRAKES, STEERING, EVERYTHING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN CURB WITH TWO CARS BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO ABRUPTLY SWERVE TO AVOID ME. IT WAS A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. NO POWER ANYTHING, RADIO, LIGHTS, NOTHING. I CAME TO A STOP AFTER STANDING ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL MY WEIGHT! I PUT THE CAR IN P AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER THAT. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE, NEEDLESS TO SAY! I HAVE SINCE PARKED IT BUT AM HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME WITH A FAMILY OF 5 DOWN TO ONE CAR. I AM ON AN EMAIL LIST TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THERE IS A FIX, BUT IT SEEMS THEY'RE NOT IN A HURRY! THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS FIX IS 19V-813. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY COMING OFF THE FREEWAY GOING INTO AN OFF RAMP, MY JEEP WILL STALL LOCKING UP THE WHEEL AND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED SIX OR TEN TIMES TO ME OVER THE YEARS BUT AGAIN VERY RECENTLY. VERY DANGEROUS AT ANY SPEED BUT THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. NEED A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE DIES !!!! DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A RECALL BEING WORKED ON. THAT'S NOT A SOLUTION TO MY URGENT PROBLEM!!!

ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP. THEN, ON DECEMBER 25, 2019, I RECEIVE THE V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FOR MY JEEP, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:*DT OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE [1] WAS INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA 14V-530) OR SAFETY RECALL R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). THE REMEDY FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALLS WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. IF YOU HAD EITHER OF THESE RECALLS COMPLETED, THE INSTALLED REMEDY RELAY IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SILICON CONTAMINATION ON THE RELAY CONTACTS, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE RELAY TO FAIL. A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A NO-START CONDITION OR AN ENGINE STALL CONDITION IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ['] THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THIS WAS OF GREAT CONCERN. IN THE 1980S I WAS DRIVING ON THE CONGESTED FREEWAYS OF LA WHEN MY BMW SUDDENLY JUST TURNED OFF. I BARELY MANAGED TO COAST TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I WAS IN TERROR AS I HAD JUST BEEN REAR-ENDED A YEAR PRIOR WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. TO THIS DAY I HAVE PAIN IN MY SHOULDER, AND TWO PINCHED NERVES IN MY NECK. SO, I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SERVICE NUMBER. GIVEN THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REMEDY, AND THAT 'VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING', I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE AGENT INSISTED THAT I FIRST HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF A PROBLEM. THAT IS PATENTLY RIDICULOUS AS THE PROBLEM CAN NOT EXIST AND THEN, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, ARISE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND 'CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING'. IN FACT, THAT FIRST TIME COULD BE ON THE WAY TO MY LOCAL DEALER. *DT *JB (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

CONTINUING MY LAST COMPLAINT - I GO TO JEEP TO FIX MY BLUETOOTH THEY TELL ME ITS $135 (WHICH WAS NEVER MENTIONED ON THE PHONE TO ME AS I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.) I TOLD THEM I DONT HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW. THEY INSISTED I HAD TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR THE SUN VISOR RECALL WHICH I HAVEN'T DONE SO THEY TELL ME IT'LL TAKE 2.5 HOURS . I SHOULD LEAVE AND COME BACK SO THEY MAKE ME GET A RIDE WITH A RANDOM DRIVER WHO WORKS FOR THEM TO TAKE ME SOMEWHERE AND COME BACK WHEN FINISHED JUST FOR THEM TO REACH BACK OUT TO ME WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND TELL ME THEY HAD NO PARTS THEY HAD TO ORDER IT. WHICH PISSED ME OFF BECAUSE THAT WASTED MY TIME MONEY AND ENERGY WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PART WAS THERE BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW WHO KNOWS WHEN I'LL HAVE THE TIME TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE 2015 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY ONLY MENTIONED ONE RECALL TO ME SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR WHICH HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BREAKS. JEEP DEALERSHIPS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH BETTER SERVICE GOING BACK TO MY LUG NUTS THEY SAID THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!

THE LUG NUTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE SWOLLEN AND APPARENTLY IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP I HAD TO PAY MONEY OUT MY OWN POCKET TO BUY NEW LUG NUTS TO ROTATE MY TIRES WHICH COST OVER $200 AND WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP VIA EMAIL THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND REACH BACK TO ME IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND HAVENT HEARD FROM THEM I CONTACTED THEM 3 MORE TIMES AND NO RESPONSE. NOW I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY BLUETOOTH BEING CONNECTED TO MY PHONE IT KEEPS KICKING MY PHONE OUT I DID A RESET AND HASN'T WORKED AND JEEP DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME ITS $135 TO FIX WHICH I REFUSE IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP AND THE RADIOS THAT SHOULD BE ON RECALL AS WELL. I HAVE TO RE-PAIR MY PHONE EVERYTIME I GET BACK INTO MY CAR. THE BLUETOOTH HASN'T BEEN WORKING SINCE MAY 2019 AND MY LUG NUTS HAD TO BE REPLACED LAST YEAR AUGUST 2018. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2015 AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD 5 YEAR WARRANTY COME TO FIND OUT I HAD ONE YEAR REMAINING BECAUSE IT STARTED IN 2011 WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS MORE AND MORE WITH THESE DEALERSHIPS NOT KNOWING A THING ! THEY JUST TELL ME THEY DONT KNO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OR THAT THAT I COMPLAIN ABOUT. RIDICULOUS

A LITTLE WHILE AFTER A YEAR OF PURCHASING OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE LEATHER DASHBOARD STARTED RIPPLING AND DE-LAMINATING. SINCE THEN, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. IT STARTED ON THE FAR RIGHT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT HAS SINCE DE-LAMINATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CORNER AND ALONG THE CENTER DEFROSTING COVER. DUE TO THE DASHBOARD BEING MADE OF LEATHER, ONCE IT DE-LAMINATED THE SHRINKING PROCESS BEGAN AND WILL ONLY GET WORSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH COUNTLESS JEEPS WITH LEATHER INTERIOR. I AM ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

"TAKATA RECALL" A/A SYSTEM NEVER WORK PROPERLY, I AM A PERSON WHO DON'T LIKE TO USE IT WHERE EVER I DRIVE WITH THAT SYSTEM TURNED ON. JUST WHEN REALLY LOWER OR HIGHT TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING (WINTER AND SUMMER), SO; BUT WHEN I TRIED TO USED IT HAD TO WAIT A LOT AND DIDN'T GET IT COMPLETELY OR PROPERLY JUST PARTIALY WORKED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SUMMER TIRED OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND VISITED SOME TECH TO FIX IT THEY DID NOT WANT TO WORK ON THIS KIND OF ISSUE ANY MORE. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME RECOMMEND SOME JEEP DEALER MAKE THE WORK AND GET WORKING SYSTEM PROPERLY WITH NOT CHARGE AS THOSE TECH SAID IT. THANKS

THE REAR WINDOW GLASS IN THE LIFT-GATE EXPLODED INTO THOUSANDS OF SHATTERED FRAGMENTS, WITHOUT CAUSE OR WARNING IN MY NON-MOVING VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS INSAFE TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING AREA AND I WAS INSIDE IT WITH MY FAMILY ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION. THE PRIOR EVENT ICCURRED WITH MY HUSBAND STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AS HE CLOSED THE LIFT-GATE. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR 11 YEARS, AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE OLD DESIGN OF THE REAR WINDOW GLASS. THE 2011 DESIGN HAS THE REAR WIPER AND MOTOR DIRECTLY MOUNTED ONTO THE GLASS, WHICH MAY BE THE PROBLEM. I SUFFERED GLASS CUTS AND GLASS DEBRIS INTO ONE EYE.

THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTICE. NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE JEEP STALLS WITHOUT ANY ELECTRICAL SYMPTOMS BUT THE STEERING, ENGINE, AND BRAKING SYSTEMS FAIL. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DECELERATION. I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE TOWARD A STOP. NORMALLY UNDER A HALF TANK OF GAS BUT EVEN THAT IS NOT RELIABLE. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR "JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING" YOU'LL FIND A PRETTY ROBUST COLLECTION OF STORIES WHERE CONSUMERS LIKE ME UNWITTINGLY PAID MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A CAR THAT IS TRYING TO KILL THEM. YOU'RE ANSWER TO THE TIPM RECALL (THE FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT BREAKER? THE FIRST HALF-ASS ATTEMPT BY CRYSLER TO TROUBLESHOOT THIS NIGHTMARE) SAYS "THE FACTUAL BASES OF THE PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS THAT ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY ARE UNSUPPORTED" WHICH I FOUND HILARIOUS SINCE I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE WITH AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT THAT THE ENTIRE INTERNET CANNOT FIND A STANDARD SOLUTION TO OTHER THAN TO SELL THE VEHICLE OFF TO ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING VICTIM.

I PURCHASED THIS JEEP 2ND HAND, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A "PROBLEM" IN THE HVAC SYSTEM. MANY 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. MY PROBLEMS RESULTED IN AN OVERHEATING, SMALL SMOKE/FIRE RELATED PROBLEM, WHICH I QUICKLY STOPPED. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS, REPAIR COSTS HAVE BEEN APPROX $8,000--(I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES, I'LL ATTACH SOME, BUT THEY ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO SCAN AND ATTACH ALL NOW. WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM IF NECESSARY). THE FOLLOWING ALL REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE: 1)...REPLACED THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE CONDENSER AND ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS FOR HEATING/COOLING, INCLUDING LINES CARRYING FREON, 2)...REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, 3)...REPLACED THE BLEND DOORS AND ACTUATORS THREE TIMES--(TWICE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY). BUT, THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THE PROBLEMS REOCCURRED SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER REPAIRING. 4)...A MONTH AGO THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEATER CORE, AND IT'S HOUSING, CLAIMING THAT THE HOUSING WAS MELTED BY THE HEATER CORE. 5)...THE RESULT OF REGULARLY OVERHEATING--(COOLANT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 226-230-F), COOLANT HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN LEAKING ON ALL PARTS BELOW/AROUND THE LEAKS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, CAUSING ABNORMAL CORROSION. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING, CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING.
