SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, 5 DAYS LATER THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT SO I TOOK IT HOME. A WEEK LATER, SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, UNABLE TO CONTROL ANYTHING, LOST STEERING, THEN VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON TO NO LUCK, SAT WAITING, THEN AFTER 15 MINS THE ACCESSORY ENGINE CAME ON, LIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AND THE MESSAGE "DO NOT PARK UNTIL SAFE AT YOUR DESTINATION." TOOK THE JEEP STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEALER PLUGS IT IS 70+ MISCOMMUNICATION ERRORS PULL UP. DEALER CALLS ME 3 DAYS LATER TO COME GET MY JEEP AND SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS THEY SEE IT IN THE ACT. I REFUSE TO GO PICK IT UP AS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND I AM NOT DRIVING IT WITH MY 9MONTH OLD.
Power train, Electrical system, Feb 16, 2021
MY JEEP STALLED IN 50MPH TRAFFIC CAUSING A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I BARELY COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS LATER TOLD MY TONE/RELUCTOR WHEEL HAD BROKEN RESULTING IN LOSS OF SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR SO THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN.
Power train, Feb 12, 2021
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL GIVE A JERK WHEN I ACCELERATE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP (GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK TO ACCELERATE) THE CAR SHIFTS ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN "PUT VEHICLE INTO DRIVE". SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND SOMETIMES IS DOES NOT. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED I'M ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE AGAIN. THIS OCCURS AGAIN SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY OR WILL HAPPEN ONCE EVERY WEEK OR SO. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE TCM, BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS AND CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAVE NO REAL ANSWERS AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
Power train, Electrical system, Jan 26, 2021
I CONTINUE TO HAVE SERVICE SHIFTER AND CHECK ENGINE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION BOTH ON CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND IN PARK. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE SHIFTER LIGHTS COME ONE, IN MANY CASES THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY RISK IF IT OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MANY TIMES MY DASHBOARD WILL GO COMPLETELY BLACK FOR SECONDS AND MY WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE FOR 180 DAYS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE, THE TCM, THE TELEMAX COMMUNICATION MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE SHIFTER, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK. OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS THE ISSUES HAVE GOTTEN WORSE AND THE VEHICLE IS GETTING MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THESE ISSUES AND FCA SHOULD TAKE ACTION.
Power train, Jan 22, 2021
THE SHIFTER BEGAN JUMPING OUT OF GEAR ABOUT OCTOBER, 2020...WHEN I WOULD PUT IN PARK GETTING OUT IT HAD MOVED BACK TO DRIVE AND I HAD TO QUICKLY GET BACK IN AND PUT BACK IN PARK. THERE HAD BEEN AN EARLIER RE CALL, TOOK TO DEALER SHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WHATEVER PROBLEM WAS. AT TIME OF RECALL I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. AS TIME WORE ON I BEGAN TO HAVE SHIFTER PROBLEMS. THE LIGHT ON SHIFTER BEGAN TO GO OFF AND ON AND IT GETTING OUT OF SHIFT BECAME MORE FREQUENT ...TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN SOUTHAVEN MS...SERVICE MGR SAID THERE HAD NO COMPLAINTS...MY RESEARCH SHOWED DIFFERENT...HE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE PLACE BUT BACK ORDER...THIS WAS IN NOVEMBER. IT IS NOW JANUARY, 21 AND I AM STILL DRIVING AND THE SHIFTER IS STILL ON BACK ORDER, ACCORDING TO LANDERS JEEP THEY KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPLACE WITH CORP SAYING THAT 357 SHIFTERS SO FAR ARE ON BACK ORDER...THAT IS ALL THAT THEY WOULD DO....THIS SITUATION IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT SCARY...CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO SHOVE UNDER THE RUG ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER AND DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS WHO NEED MORE THAN JUST LIES AND BLANK STARES.

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.

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD. WHILE IN MOTION IT WILL REV UP AND THEN SOMETIMES DECIDE TO SHIFT PROPERLY. IT HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND JERKED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND ONE STATES BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ERROR MESSAGES AND SUPPOSEDLY IT DOESN'T DO IT FOR THEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE OTHER DEALERSHIP STATED THAT'S HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO WARM UP FIRST. EXCUSE ME? THEY TELL ME IT'S A NON SERVICEABLE VEHICLE UNLESS THERE ARE ANY ERROR CODES. ONE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY CLEARED THEY COMPUTER AND UPDATED THE PROGRAMMING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

I PURCHASED MY GRAND CHEROKEE WITH 30K MILES. BEFORE I EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED THROUGH MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. DAYS AFTER DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT, IT WOULD SLAM DOWN THROUGH GEARS DURING DECELERATION AND JUMP/JERK WHEN SHIFTING UP. A LOUD METAL THUD ACCOMPANIED THESE JOLTS BETWEEN GEARS EVERY TIME. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, AND 25K MILES LATER (JEEP HAS 55K TOTAL) AND THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE RETURNING. RANDOM JOLTS AND JERKY SHIFTS DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, SPECIFICALLY WHEN GOING UP OR DOWN A SLOPE OR WHEN GETTING BACK ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE WHEN DRIVING. THE DECELERATION AND DOWNSHIFT BETWEEN GEARS IS SO JARRING SOMETIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN THAT MYSELF AND PASSENGERS WILL HAVE OUR HEADS BANG FORWARD AND SEATBELT CATCH THE WEIGHT OF OUR BODIES. THE THUD NOISE IS COMING BACK RANDOMLY AS WELL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WITH ONLY 5K MILES LEFT ON MANUFACTURER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, I'M NERVOUS THAT HAVING IT'S 3RD TRANSMISSION IN LESS THAN 60K MILES IS GOING TO BE A FUTURE PROBLEM AGAIN NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY DREAM VEHICLE AND THE LARGEST LOAN IN MY LIFE OTHER THAN PURCHASE OF HOUSE. SINCE THE DAY I LEFT THE LOT IT HAS FELT UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AND CAUSES ME ANXIETY BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT SHIFTS AND MAKES NOISES. THE HARD JERKS AND SLAMMING DOWNSHIFTS HAVE ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AND I HONESTLY HATE HAVING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. (I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 16 MONTHS.) THE DATE I SELECTED WAS WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE, PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEN. *TR

I HAVE BEEN AWARE THAT MY MODEL OF JEEP HAS A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS AND LEGAL SUITS CONCERNING THE GEAR SHIFT. MY JEEP IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AS DECODED BY THE VIN. THE SHIFT SELECTOR HAS ALL OF A SUDDEN BEEN SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER. AND AS THE DAYS HAVE GONE BY THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. NOW IF I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT INDICATES THAT IT IS IN PARK ON THE DASH, WHEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING IT THEN GOES INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW WHERE I HAVE STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR OR TURNED IT ALL THE WAY OFF WHILE IT INDICATED IT WAS IN PARK BUT IN FACT IT HAD SWITCHED ITSELF TO NEUTRAL CAUSING THE CAR TO ROLL. LUCKILY IT HAS NOT CAUSE ANY HARM TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN/DEFECT IN THE WAY IT IS OPERATING AND IT IS PUTTING THE PUBLIC SAFETY IN JEOPARDY. I HAVE SEARCH AND IT SAYS THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM OR IN FACT ANY FOR MY CAR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION AND SHOULD NOT BE A RESPONSIBILITY OF MINE TO FIX. IN THE DAYS OF MANUAL (LEVER ACTION) GEAR SHIFTERS THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE AS THE COMPUTER IS SOMEHOW CHANGING THE GEAR FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. IN A CONVENTIONAL GEAR SELECTOR YOU WOULD HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO THROUGH REVERSE TO GET TO NEUTRAL FROM PARK. WITH ELECTRONICS THESE DAYS THERE IS NO HUMAN ERROR OF ACCIDENTALLY MOVING DOWN TO NEUTRAL. IT IS DOING THIS ALL ON ITS OWN AND IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL OR PAYING ATTENTION IT COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO ROLL DOWN A HEEL OUT OF CONTROL WITH NOBODY INSIDE TO STOP IT. OR EVEN WORSE WHILE MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IS INSIDE AND I GET OUT OF THE CAR TO GO TO THE BACK TO GET HER AND IT START ROLLING....

2015 GRAND CHEROKEE ALTITUDE- 3.6L. JUST HIT 95000 MILES AND SUDDENLY CAR CONTINUES TO UP SHIFT TO 8TH GEAR EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED, CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT BUT WITH NO ACCELERATION DEPRESSED, CAR WILL MOVE ALL THE WAY TO 8TH. DOWNHILL, TRANS WON'T SHIFT BEYOND 3RD GEAR LIKELY TO ENGINE BRAKING ONLY. THIS IS MY 5TH JEEP AND MY 4TH TIME DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ACROSS MY JEEPS.
