Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

THIS 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE EGR SYSTEM (RECALL W79). ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (TURNERSVILLE JEEP) FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12 2021. THIS DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. THIS DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE EGR SYSTEM UNDER THE W79 RECALL, BUT DID REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL TUBES AFTER FINDING THE FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED. THIS DEALER THEN CLEARED THE DTC P026C-00 AND PERFORMED A STATIONARY REGENERATION. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AT 5:15 PM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2021 AND PROCEEDED TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES OF DRIVING, I SUFFERED A EXTEME AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM; THE DASH INDICATORS INCLUDED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN ERROR REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND AN ERROR THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AS I COASTED TO A STOP, SMOKE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY POUR FROM THE HOOD COVER AND BEGAN TO ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE HVAC VENTS. I VACATED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND UNDER SOME DURESS. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND I COULD SEE IT CONTINUE TO ENTER THE CABIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED BY FLATBED TO PELLEGRINO JEEP. I SPOKE WITH THE PELLEGRINO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I OPENED CASE #78239258 WITH FCA (JEEP) US LLC CUSTOMER SERVICE. AS OF JANUARY 20 AT 11:30 AM, I DO NOT HAVE FEEDBACK ON THIS CASE. THE DEALER HAS ALSO PROVIDED NO COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED A FAILURE DUE TO THE INABILITY OF FCA AND IT'S DEALERS TO REMEDIATE RECALL W79.

I WAS TRAVELING AT A 60MPH SPEED ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY OIL TEMP LIGHT CAME ON AND READ 285 DEGREES IN MY OPTIONS LIST YET THE STATIONARY OIL TEMP READ IN THE MIDDLE. I PULLED OVER, LET THE ENGINE COOL, CHECKED THE OIL AND COOLANT (ALL FINE). AFTER 45 MINUTES, IT COOLED TO ABOUT 130 DEGREES, SO I CONTINUED ON. I DROVE ABOUT A MILE WHEN IT HEATED BACK UP AGAIN, THE JEEP JERKED, SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE ENGINE, AND IT TURNED OFF. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT DIED. SINCE I WAS OUT OF STATE TRAVELING AND IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING, I NEEDED TO FIND A PLACE TO STAY IF MY JEEP WOULD START (IT DID). I FOUND A HOTEL 3 MILES AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. THE ENGINE HAD COOLED, I HAD OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW NO DAMAGE. I DROVE 35MPH FOR THE 3 MILES AS I WATCHED THE OIL TEMP CLIMB. I MADE IT TO THE HOTEL, WAS PARKING WHEN THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE. I OPENED THE WINDOWS, SHUT OFF THE JEEP AND GOT OUT. I DID SEE FLAMES COME OUT OF THE HOOD AND SOMETHING ON FIRE FELL FROM UNDER THE ENGINE AREA. I CALLED 911. SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACTUALLY PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THEY STILL PROCEEDED TO DOUSE THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL (W79) ON THE 2015 ECODIESEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR THE (ERG) EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLERS THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THERMAL FATIGUE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE COOLER TO CRACK, ALLOW PREHEATED, VAPORIZED COOLANT TO INTERACT WITH OTHER HYDROCARBONS AND AIR IN THE SYSTEM THAT MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE. THIS RECALL WAS NOT SCHEDULED TO OFFICIALLY BE RELEASED UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2020. 20 DAYS AFTER MY JEEP FIRE.
