VEHICLE WILL STALL DURING USE WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED FROM GAS PEDAL. WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED FOR THE ROAD AND NEEDING TO TAKE FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL, THE JEEP'S ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND I RECEIVE NO LIGHT INDICATING THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT ISN'T UNTIL I ATTEMPT TO TURN THE WHEEL OR STOP THE JEEP THAT I REALIZE I HAVE NO POWER. TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN DEACCELERATING DOWN AN EXIT RAMP OR WHEN TURNING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND EVEN MORE DANGEROUS WHEN I HAVE SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME THAT DOESN'T REALIZE MY CAR HAS STALLED AND IS STILL MOVING AS IF I'M MOVING. I NOTICED THIS HAPPENING PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICE15V-115 AND HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED ON 8-17-15. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE JEEP'S COMPUTER IS NOT SHOWING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ANY ENGINE STALLS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY EXIT RAMPS, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON MAIN ROADWAYS, AND WHILE TURNING THROUGH A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. 100% RELATED TO GOING ABOVE 35 MPH AND REMOVING FOOT OFF OF THE GAS.

I BOUGHT A 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE USED THREE WEEKS AGO TO THE DAY WHEN WHILE DRIVING THE KIDS TO THE LIBRARY SATURDAY, SUDDENLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE, SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM ETC.) BUZZERS, SPEEDOMETER AND TRANSMISSION POSITION STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED IT AND MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. I GOT IT INTO MY GARAGE, DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE AND LET IT SIT UNTIL THIS MORNING. WHEN I RE-CONNECTED THE CABLE AND STARTED THE CAR ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO THE WIFE FOLLOWED ME TO THE DEALER WHERE WE DROPPED IT OFF. LUCKILY IT MADE THE 8 MILE TRIP WITHOUT ANY OTHER ISSUES. THEN A FEW HOURS LATER THE SERVICE DEPT. CALLED ME TO SAY IT WAS THE TIPM, APPX. $950.00, NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND ABOUT 3 TO 5 DAYS TO FIX.

IN MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND MODEL WITH A LEATHER DASHBOARD, THE LEATHER MATERIAL HAS SEPARATED FROM THE DASHBOARD AND IS AFFECTING THE WINTER PERFORMANCE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER BY PARTIALLY BLOCKING THE AIR VENTS.

IN AUGUST OF 2014 I NOTICED A FIRM RESPONSE FROM MY BRAKE PEDAL WHEN STARTING THE CAR.
