MY VEHICLE IS NOW REGULARLY (AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND AT RANDOM) STALLING WHILE IN MOTION WHEN I BEGIN TO BRAKE AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. IT CUTS OFF IN MOTION AND LOSES ALL POWER STEERING; I LITERALLY HAVE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD (ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS) AND HAVE TO RESTART IT. I HAVE NOW BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. THERE WAS A PRIOR RECALL FOR A FUEL PUMP RELAY WHERE RANDOM STALLING CAN OCCUR BUT THAT RECALL PART HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED. I HAVE TAKEN TO CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. I JUST CONTACTED THE JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE AS A LAST RESORT AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP OR GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO CORRECT ISSUE (THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN...); INSTEAD THEY GAVE ME A DISCLAIMER THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY WOULD OPERATE LIKE THIS AND OFFER NO ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE WITH A VEHICLE THEY BUILT THAT IS CLEARLY MALFUNCTIONING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY.

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.

TWO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. FIRST, AT 99,000 THE CAMSHAFT BEGAN TO FAIL DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND FUEL. I AM TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER REFUSE TO REPAIR/REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND, THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH, TYPICALLY WHEN BREAKING FOR A STOP, OR BREAKING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT I SEE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

LEFT HEAD BAD, CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE WITH PENTASTAR ENGINE. YOU HAVE HAD MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM IN WHICH CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY PLANS TO COVER THIS FAULTY ENGINE. MY JEEP WAS PURCHASE WITH A SALVAGE TITLE RELATED TO BODY WORK(ENGINE WAS NOT INVOLVED) WITH 43, 565 MILES. MY MILEAGE AT TIME OF LEFT HEAD DEFAULT 56, 567 MILES. I AM OUTRAGED!! MY FAMILY HAS BEEN TRUE ADVOCATES FOR THE JEEP PRODUCT FOR 20 YEARS, PURCHASING NINE JEEPS. I TRULY UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY FALLS OFF WITH A SALVAGE TITLE, I AM PLEADING FOR SOME REIMBURSEMENT FROM CHRYSLER KNOWING THAT THE PENTASTAR ENGINE IS FAULTY WITH LEFT HEAD. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 10 DAYS IN ORDER FOR BLUEWATER CHRYSLER TO GET THE LEFT HEAD IN AND DO THE JOB. PARTS/INSTALLATION $1,893.05 WITH CAR RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE $497.67 WITH A TOTAL OF $2,390.72.

FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL- I PURCHASED THE USED CAR IN MAY 2018, NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALLS WAS DISCLOSE. RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN OR RUMBLING AS I'M DRIVING. THANKFULLY I'M DRIVING IN THE CITY AND I CAN PULL TO THE SIDE. EVERY TIME I SHAKE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY 'REPAIR' IT STARTS UP STRONG AGAIN. I TRIED TAKING INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS FIXED BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING CAUSE THEY ALREADY FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED. IT WAS CHEAPLY FIXED.
