VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING INDICATION. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AT 98 DEGREE TEMPERATURE WHILE ON A STRAIGHT AWAY MAJOR HIGHWAY. NO PREVIOUS BATTERY WARNING LIGHT / CHARGING FAILURE WAS INDICATED BEFORE THE EVENT. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST ABLE TO GET PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS SUCCESSFULLY TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP AUTHORIZED DEALER 20 MILES AWAY. DIAGNOSED COMPLETE ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH NEW DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER BRAND (MOPAR). WHEN LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP JUST 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE BATTERY CHARGING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE MADE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON BATTERY POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY ALTERNATOR (THE NEW REPLACEMENT). I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD ONLY REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH CHRYSLER INDICATED BRAND. IT IS KNOWN THAT JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2012-2014 HAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATORS WHICH ARE SAME USED ON 2011. THIS JEEP HAS NOW HAD TWO REPLACEMENTS WITH LESS THAN 88 K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. RECOMMEND ADDING 2011 JEEP MODELS TO RECALL LIST AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED A LETTER JAN/2018 FOR A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE REPAIR DONE FEB/2018. JUNE 5TH, 2018 I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED UP, WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. THE BREAKS WENT COMPLETELY OUT, I WAS FORCING MY WHOLE BODY WEIGHT ON THE BREAKS TO GET THE JEEP TO STOP!! THERE WAS A TRUCK COMING AND ALL I COULD THINK OF IS MY SMALL CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE VERY QUICK RESPONSES, BUT I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN AT ALL OR EVEN AFTER A RECALL FIX???? I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO TERRIFIED IN MY WHOLE LIFE AND BEING SO HELPLESS IN THIS SITUATION! I AM REALLY SHAKEN UP AND GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT. IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO BE A CLOSE CALL. CHRYSLER YOU NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR GET ALL OF THESE MODELS OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE KILLED. NOW I HAVE TO TRADE THIS JEEP IN BECAUSE IT IS A DEATH TRAP AND I WILL ALWAYS BE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY TOTING MY KIDS AROUND. BREAKS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL ISSUE!!!!
