MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND STARTED TO SMOKING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND BURNED UP ALMOST CATCHING FIRE. THERE WAS A RECALL THAT THEY ONLY LOOKED AT THE ALTERNATOR NEVER REPLACING IT. I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS RECALL, I WANT TO BE CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THIS FAULTY PART THAT ALMOST CAUGHT MY JEEP ON FIRE. I FEEL THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE JEEP WAS RUNNING STATIONARY WHEN IT STARTED WHISTLING AND MAKING A BAD NOICE. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE IT TO AUTO ZONE IT GOT WORSE AND STARTED SMOKING, MAKING A LOUD WHISTLING SOUND AND CHOKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. WHEN I PULLED INTO AUTO ZONE IT WAS SMOKING BAD, SMELT ELECTRIC BURNING AND IT WAS ALL COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 60 MILES BACK HOME AND ANOTHER 12 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEXT MONDAY MORNING BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY WHEN EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED. IF IT'S A RECALL I WANT IT REPLACED, TOW PAID FOR AND THE TIME IT'S BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION.

THE DAMAGES DIRECTLY CAUSED BY THE ALTERNATOR RECALL DIRECTLY RELATED TO MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BEING DECLINED TO BE COVERED BY DEALERSHIP IN A VACAVILLE CALIFORNIA. THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE ME $1000 FOR DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE THAT WERE CAUSED BY ALTERNATOR ISSUE.
Electrical system, Jun 25, 2019
VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND TRANSMISSION PLACED IN DRIVE, THEN DRIVEN ONTO A CITY STREET ACCOMPANIED BY AN UNUSUAL WHINING NOISE, LURCHING, AND IMPAIRED ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS LIMPED INTO A PARKING LOT, PLACED IN PARK AND SHUT OFF AGAIN, AFTER WHICH IT WOULD NO LONGER CRANK. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE INITIALLY THE STARTER WAS REPLACED. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED SPARKS AND A STRONG BURNING SMELL FROM THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH HE DECLARED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ALTERNATOR WAS THEN REPLACED, AFTER WHICH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE OR PCM WAS ALSO FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HERE IS UNCLEAR, BUT THE SAFETY CONCERN STEMS FROM THE SHORTING ALTERNATOR MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT HAD THE DRIVER BEEN UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER, THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND/OR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC. AS OTHER, SIMILAR VEHICLES FROM THIS MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR WEAK ALTERNATOR DIODES FAILING CATASTROPHICALLY (P60 / NHTSA 14V-634), IT SEEMS REASONABLE TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THIS HAZARD EXISTS IN THIS AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES ALSO.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY THE LAST 5 MONTHS. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO ZONE FOR A CODE READER A FEW TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD DISAPPEAR OR MULTIPLE CODES WOULD APPEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD AT TIMES SEEM TO LOSE POWER ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILL WHETHER IT WAS ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET A TRUE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON 6/15/19 WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL SHOWING ON MY DASHBOARD. THEY CODE READER GAVE P0128 SO I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET MY THERMOSTAT GAUGE REPLACED AND TOTAL REPAIRS WITH DIAGNOSTIC WERE $309.15. I FOUND IT FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. AFTER A TRIP OUT OF TOWN AND DROVE A TOTAL OF CLOSE TO 1200 MILES, THE LIGHT STAYED ON. AT THIS POINT, IT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT ALWAYS ALERT IF A PASSENGER DID NOT HAVE THEIRS ON. I TRIED TO GO BACK AND SELECT THE SEATBELT PROBLEM SELECTION, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO.

THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED DEAD ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE CAR IS RUNNING AND MOVING BUT SUDDENLY STOPS. NO LIGHTS NO MOTOR NOISE NO ABILITY TO STEER OFF THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AT CITY SPEEDS AND STREETS NEVER ON A HIGHWAY NOTHING HAS SHOWED UP ON DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ON DIAGNOSTICS SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIPS HEAD MECHANIC IS NOT RETURNING CALLS. I WAS RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL INCLUDING 2011 TO 2014. MINE IS 2013. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT A TAKAYUKI RECALL IS, I GAVE THE LAST DATE THIS HAPPEND.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE NIGHT MY JEEP STARTED MAKING A WHINING SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEATER SINCE IT WAS 12 DEGREES OUTSIDE THAT NIGHT. I LEAVE FOR WORK, GET ABOUT 6 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND MY JEEP STARTS FAILING. WARNING LIGHTS, BATTERY, TRACTION CONTROL, WIPERS SLOWLY GO ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD, LIGHTS DIMMING. I GOT TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER BUT IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING MY VEHICLE LOST ALL FUNCTIONALOTY (NO BREAKS, POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, ALL ELECTRONICS GONE) AND COULDNT STOP. IT FINALLY STOPS AND I'M LEFT WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD VEHICLE. 12AM IN FREEZING WEATHER WHILE 5 MONTHS PREGNANT. WHEN MY BOYFRIEND ARRIVED TO GET ME, HE NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAD SAT BARELY OUT OF THE ROAD IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT WITH NO HAZARDS POSSIBLE TO ALLOW OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE ME. WE FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ALTERNATOR RECALL ON MY JEEP AND TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS SCHEDULING ALLOWED. BEFORE ALTERNATOR BLEW MY JEEP HAD ZERO ISSUES. THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS AND CALLED TO SAY MY JEEP WAS FIXED (NO LOANER CAR OFFERED). I GO UP THE NEXT DAY, THEY REPLACED THE PCM AND ALTERNATOR, THEY SAY NOTHING ELSE. I GO TO START MY JEEP AND IT CRANKS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND STARTS. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I GO BACK INSIDE TO THE DEALER WHO HAS SAID NOTHING THE LAST 2 DAYS ABOUT MY VEHICLE NOT RUNNING PROPERLY AND THEY TELL ME IT IS MY CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AND THEY SAID THEY COULDNT PROMISE THE CAR WOULD MAKE IT HOME AND IT WAS MY PROBLEM. UNHAPPY WITH RESULTS WE CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY TELL THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THAT. IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE AND CHRYSLER IS NO LONGER WILLING TO FIX OBVIOUS DAMAGE FROM THEIR ALTERNATOR FAILURE FRYING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME TO FILE A "FAKE" FIRE CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE. STILL UNRESOLVED.
