I HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH STARTING MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE V8 OVERLAND. THE JEEP WILL START BUT WILL STALL RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IF YOU PUT THE JEEP IN GEAR QUICKLY IT WILL STALL IN GEAR ALSO. MOST OF THE TIME IT STALLS RIGHT AFTER STARTING. I HAVE TO SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND PRESS THE START BUTTON AGAIN TO GET IT STARTED. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP AT THE DEALERSHIP (COLORADO CHRYSLER JEEP) MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THE "RESOLUTION" FOR THE DEALERSHIP IS THAT THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. ON 4/10/15 THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT STALLED ON THEM AND THEY REPLACED A SWITCH IG 08053059. RECEIVED THE JEEP BACK AND IT STALLED THE NEXT DAY. CALLED COLORADO CHRYSLER JEEP BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO GET AN ELECTRICIAN IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THAT WOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT THIS POINT AND CHRYSLER HAD ME TAKE THE JEEP INTO CHERRY CREEK DODGE BECAUSE THEY COULD "GET ME IN QUICKER". ON 5/22/15 I TOOK THE JEEP TO CHERRY CREEK DODGE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERFORMED PROCEDURE S1308000399 5/2015 OUTLINED IN CHRYSLER'S STAR SYSTEM. THE NEXT DAY THE JEEP STALLED. I HAVE CALLED BACK MULTIPLE TIMES TO BOTH CHRYSLER AND CHERRY CREEK DODGE WITH EITHER NO ANSWER OR NO SOLUTION. CHERRY CREEK DODGE IS NOW PUTTING ME OF WITH A NEW RECALL SAYING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THINKS THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, AND CHRYSLER WANTS TO GO WITH WHAT CHERRY CREEK DODGE SAYS. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. EVER DAY THE JEEP STALLS AT SOME POINT. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES. WE TOOK THE JEEP TO COLORADO CHRYSLER AT 35,451 MILES AND THE JEEP HAS ABOUT 54,000 MILES NOW. AT FIRST THE STALLING WAS JUST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, NOW IT HAPPENS DAILY.

ON MAY 19, 2015 CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT (TIPM) SAFETY RECALL R09/NTHSA14V-115. SERVICE MANAGER STATED TO ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX (TIPM) PRESENT TIME BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE PART. SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED TO ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. GAVE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MY CELL PHONE NUMBER AND ASKED TO BE CONTACTED (ASAP) ABOUT RECALL PART (TIPM). I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE BY OUR GOVERNMENT TO BUY BACK MY 2012 JEEP. THIS IS THE (4TH) SAFETY RECALL I HAVE HAD ON THIS JEEP. DEALER HAS NOT FIXED RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF UNSAFE JUNK COMING OUT OF FIAT/CHRYSLER. ALL CONSUMERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF UNSAFE JUNK BEING PUT IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. WE IN AMERICA DESERVE BETTER RESPECT FROM ALL AUTOMAKERS. I THINK MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL COME OUT OF RUSSIA!!!!! MAYBE THEY WILL UNDERSTAND HOW TO PRODUCE A SAFE VEHICLE.

TO DATE, JEEP/CHRYSLER/FCA REPEATEDLY HAS TOLD ME THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND NO PROJECTED DATE FOR REPAIRS.THE DEALER WILL NOT PROVIDE A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE IN THE INTERIM. SO, I DRIVE A DEADLY VEHICLE (DEADLY FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS) FOR SOME INDETERMINATE PERIOD OF TIME. IF THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AS IT IS REPORTED TO BE, IT SHOULD BE PARKED AND THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER SHOULD PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE FIX OR AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION IS ABSURD. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THE GM IGNITION SWITCH SITUATION? APPARENTLY NOT.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARRIVED HOME WITH OUR 7 WEEK OLD IN THE BACKSEAT AND OUR KEYS INSIDE THE DIAPER BAG. WE STEPPED OUT, CLOSED OUR DOORS AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE LOCKED BY ITSELF WITH OUR BABY INSIDE ALONG WITH THE KEYS. WE ARE BOTH CERTAIN THAT WE DIDN'T ACCIDENTALLY PUSH THE LOCK BUTTON. LUCKILY, WE WERE HOME AND SOMEONE WAS IN OUR HOME AND ABLE TO LET US IN SO WE COULD RETRIEVE OUR SPARE KEY. WE LIVE IN PHOENIX AND IT'S SUMMER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IN THE COUPLE OF MINUTES THAT SHE WAS LOCKED INSIDE, IT HAD ALREADY HEATED UP CONSIDERABLY. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS HURT. I NOTIFIED JEEP WHO STATED THAT WHEN THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB IS LOW, SOMETIMES IT LOCKS THE CAR. WE HAD ALREADY REPLACED THIS. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED WE PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED FOR MALFUNCTION. WHY SHOULD WE PAY FOR THEIR ERROR?

I RETURNED MY SINGLE AXEL MOTORCYCLE TRAILER TO THE GRAVEL STORAGE LOT AND BACKED IT INTO IT'S SPACE. WITH THE ENGINE IDLING I PUT IT IN PARK, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER FROM THE VEHICLE. I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO IDLE IT FORWARD A COUPLE FEET TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE TRAILER HITCH FROM THE RECEIVER. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IMMEDIATELY UPON BEING PUT IN DRIVE THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO OVER 5,000 RPMS AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I TRIED TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK BUT HIT REVERSE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH BACKWARDS. I CONTINUED TO PUSH THE TRANSMISSION FORWARD INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. THE INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR SECONDS. THE REAR TIRES SPUN IN THE GRAVEL CREATING 3 INCH DEEP DIVOTS. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 5.7L ENGINE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A CAUSE.
