2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

I HAD A RECALL P36/NHTSA 14V-154 AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. I SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 14, 2014 TO BRING THE CAR IN BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO INSPECT AND ORDER THE PART. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR THE DAY, SO THEY COULD INSPECT IT, AND PICKED IT UP AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT IS SEPTEMBER 25, 2014, AND THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME OR RETURNED MY CALLS REGARDING THE REPAIR. I ALSO GOT A SECOND RECALL WHILE WAITING FOR FOLLOW-UP ON THE FIRST FOR THIS VEHICLE: P36/NHTSA 14V-391. I CALLED TO SET THAT APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME TIME AS THEY REPAIR THE FIRST RECALL. I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE RECEPTIONIST AND NEVER GOT A CALL BACK. I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH I NEED TO MANAGE THEIR RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, AND THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPTS TO MANAGE IT THEMSELVES OR RESPOND TO MY INQUIRIES. WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE? THE DEALER IS AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UP THE FREEWAY RAMP AND ACCELERATING PAST 50 MPH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE FREEWAY, STOP THE VEHICLE AND HAVE IT INSPECTED BY OUR LOCAL MECHANIC. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING INCIDENT FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS. *TR

PROBLEM PROGRESSED TO A CONDITION WHERE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT SPUTTERED AND DID NOT WANT TO STAY RUNNING. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE HOME SINCE IT WASN'T FAR AWAY. TOW TRUCK HAS TAKEN JEEP TO THE DEALER AND AM WAITING FOR PART TO ARRIVE FROM NEW YORK BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD IT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE. PARTS AND LABOR ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, DEALER STATES THAT GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ONLY 42,000 MILES ON IT IS NOT STARTING PROPERLY. IT TRIES TO TURN OVER BUT SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE 5 TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO START. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS RELATED TO THE TIPM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. *TR

HAD A PROBLEM STARTING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 8/27. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE TPIM AND/OR FUEL PUMP. PARTS ARE ORDERED, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN THEY'LL ARRIVE. NOW I'M IN A RENTAL. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BRAND NEW IN AUGUST 2010. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR THERE WERE MOMENTS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO START. IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS THE HARD STARTING ONLY OCCURRED THE INITIAL START OF THE DAY. SUBSEQUENTLY, AUGUST 31ST - SEPTEMBER 5TH THE HARD START OCCURRED AT EVERY START THROUGH OUT THE DAY. I NO LONGER FELT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT ANYWHERE FEELING LIKE I WOULD BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A NEW TIPM BEING INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1000 FOR THE PART AND ANOTHER $411 IN LABOR AND TAX. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY STALLED IN TRAFFIC. COULD NOT RESTART AFTER PUSHING TO SIDE OF ROAD. TOWED TO DEALER AND TOLD THAT TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ON SATURDAY MORNING AFTER PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY CAR STALLED AND LOST POWER STEERING. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED ENGINE IT WAS FINE. WENT TO OTHER STORE, PARKED IT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE I RETURNED TO LEAVE. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND AFTER APP. 8 SECONDS I HEARD A SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND THE FUSE BOX AREA OR AT LEAST BEHIND THAT AREA . SOUNDED ELECTRICAL "VOOOP, VOOOP" I ALSO NOTICED WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE AROUND 30 MPH THE CAR HAD A HUGE DELAY, I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL PRACTICALLY TO THE FLOOR, AND THAN IT KICKED IN AND ZOOMED OFF. I FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING POWER AND THAN THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN! CRAZY FEELING!!! I FEEL AS THOUGH THE COMPUTER THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THE CAR IS OUT OF WRACK AND THE CAR HAS BECOME INCONSISTENT TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD OCCUR NEXT. I ALSO LOST BRAKES THIS WINTER WHILE DRIVING DUE TO BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME A RECALL. I WAS SCARED THEN AND I'M AFRAID THIS INCIDENT MAY RESULT IN SOMETHING BIGGER AND WORSE. :( *TR

WILL NOT START 10 TO 15 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD START. THEY PUT SOME KIND OF BYPASS RELAY IN IT.I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH TIPM SO THEY BYPASS PART OF IT WITH THIS RELAY. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT START. THE CAR WILL CRANK AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO START AND THEN WILL NOT START. AFTER SOME TIME, IT MAY START AND THEN APPEARS LIKE FUEL WAS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE AND THEN STALL. THEN WHEN I TRY TO START IT AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT START. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME IT IS THE TIPM. COMPLAINTS WITH THE TIPM FOR THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. FEEL FREE TO LOOK IT UP ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS. EVEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT TIPM IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CAR. PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL OF THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE TIPM CONTROLS THE POWER / SWITCHING / COMMUNICATIONS AMONGST VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CAR. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ANYBODY TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A FAULTY TIPM. THANK YOU. *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO GOLLING JEEP IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS MI ON 8-7-14. WAS CALLED BACK TO LET ME KNOW IT WAS ALSO A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. IT IS NOW 9-15-14 OVER 5 WEEKS LATER AND THE TRUCK IS STILL NOT FIXED. I'M TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. THIS IS AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO DO MY JOB DUE TO LACK OF A COMPARABLE VEHICLE AND IN TURN CAUSING ME STRESS. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO TWO JEEP DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA...CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE CORRODING BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ABOUT..CAN YOU NOT FORCE THE COMPANY TO PRIORITIZE THESE PROTECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER SHIELDS..IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND NEITHER DEALERSHIP (SPORT DUNST OR WESTMARK) HAVE THESE PARTS! *TR

I BROUGHT MY JEEP IN TO MEADOWLAND FORD IN CARMEL NY FOR RECALL P14 ON AUGUST 6,2014. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT CAME IN. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PART. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED 2 MORE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE P36 AND P54. PLEASE COMPLETE MY FIRST RECALL SO I CAN HAVE THE OTHER 2 FIXED. WHAT IS THE DELAY? *TR

SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO START MY 2011 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE AND IT WOULD NOT START, ONLY A CLICKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THE TIPM IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOW. THE PART ALONE IS OVER $900.00, WHICH SEEMS QUESTIONABLE THAT SOMETHING WOULD GO BAD SO QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE AND COST SO MUCH TO REPAIR. BESIDES THE COST, THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND EVEN MORE SERIOUS WITH THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IS SOMEONE GOING TO RECALL THIS ITEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED????? I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND ALL MY PREVIOUS CHRYSLER/JEEP VEHICLES THINKING THEY WERE SAFE FOR MY FAMILY; NOW I'M NOT SO SURE. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THE TIPM! IN ADDITION, I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPAIRED DUE TO THE RECALL AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT IN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. *TR

OUR JEEP REQUIRES THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) TO BE REPLACED. THIS SYSTEM STARTS THE CAR. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR A MOTORIST TO BE STRANDED WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING ABLE TO START. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V530000 (FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM), NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V391000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V154000 SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). HOWEVER, THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.

THE TIPA IS DEFECTIVE AND THE FUEL PUMP WON'T TURN ON, THEREFORE MY CAR IS UNABLE TO START. I HAVE TO PAY $1300 TO REPAIR THIS AS THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND LEARNING THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON DEFECT IN THE JEEPS. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY JEEP HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON, IT WOULD JUST TURN OVER AND OVER BUT FAIL TO FIRE UP. SHUT IT OFF, WAIT, RESTART THE PROCESS IS THE ONLY WAY TO FINALLY GET IT TO START. THE PROBLEM NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO ALMOST EVERY TIME AND 5-6 X TO FINALLY START. I KNOW THIS SITE WANTS ME TO LOG EACH INCIDENT SEPARATELY, BUT I'D BE DOING THAT 5X A DAY...UGH! NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO A $1200+ REPAIR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE! MAY BE MY LAST JEEP IF THEY DON'T FIX IT! I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A FAULTY TIPM, THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, YET IT AM STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART.

LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO CORRECT BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL P14 / NHTSA 14V-154. HAVE BEEN WAITING 3 MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. DEALERSHIPS SAY PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED AND THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATE ON WHEN NEW PARTS WILL ARRIVE. RECALL IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN LATE JULY/ EARLY AUGUST WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE ISSUES STARTING. I REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN THE KEY FOB, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PROBLEMS HAD CONTINUED AND INCREASED. I INFORMED THEM THAT I HAD READ ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TIPM, BUT THEY DISREGARDED MY CONCERN AND TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT READING THE KEYS AND I NEEDED TO ORDER NEW ONES, WHICH I DID. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEMS OF NOT STARTING. HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING IF I COULD NOT RECREATE IT, SO I KEPT DRIVING IT KNOWING THAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT START. YESTERDAY, 10/28 THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING AS THE PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING. TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS INDEED THE TIPM THAT WAS FAULTY AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE POSITION, BUT BEGAN TO REVERSE WHILE THE GEAR WAS STILL IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS CONSTANTLY STUCK IN ECO MODE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, MY ENGINED BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FINALLY MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP AND REQUIRED TOWING. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, ABNORMAL NOISES COULD BE HEARD FROM THE STARTER. THE DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR IT BY REPLACING THE CHRYSLER JEEP TAFN KIT AND CHARGED ME $1,361 FOR THE SERVICE. BUT THE CAR WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED AND WORKING PROPERLY SINCE IT CONTINUED STALLING WHILE DRIVING PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT ACCELERATING, SHOWING THE ELECTRONIC STABILIZER LIGHT GOING ON ALONG WITH NO POWER, AND EMITTING SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TURNED ON. AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THAT IT "MIGHT BE CAM SENSOR" AND CHARGED ME AGAIN ($324) FOR A REPAIR SERVICE THAT HAD NO IMPACT EXCEPT TO MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE. SO THE CAR IS STILL NOT REPAIRED OR FUNCTIONING AND CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBE ABOVE. IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL (P54) NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM THAT DESCRIBED THE PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY CAR WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS; BUT YOU CAN SEE, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. IN ITS RECALL MESSAGE, CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT YOU IF MY DEALER HAS FAILED OR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE. MY COMPLAINT IS TWO FOLD: THE DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND THE DEALER KEEPS CHARGING ME FOR EACH SERVICE REPAIR VISIT. *DT

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 32K MILES. I BEGAN SEEING AN ISSUE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT WOULDN'T START (USING PUSH BUTTON STARTER). EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS THE PROBLEM HAS INTERMITTENTLY REAPPEARED BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS IT'S TAKING LONGER TO START ONCE THE ISSUE IS SEEN. I'VE NOTICED THAT IF I USE THE KEY INSTEAD OF THE PUSH BUTTON IT'LL START RIGHT AWAY. IN WHAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS UNRELATED I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE SIMPLY CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH ON BOTH OCCASIONS IN WHICH THIS OCCURRED. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. THANK YOU, *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM RANGING FROM A BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH TO HAVING EITHER A ROCK HARD BRAKE PEDAL OR A VERY SOFT PEDAL. THE ROCK HARD PEDAL HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF IT IS TO PUMP THE BRAKES. WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF A SOFT PEDAL AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY CLAIM THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. ONCE TELLING ME THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS A LOOSE MASTER CYLINDER CAP. LAST WEEK AS I WAS LEAVING WORK MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE ONLY BRAKE POWER THAT I HAVE IS APPROXIMATELY 1" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PEDAL THROW AND IT IS ALL MANUAL. I DROVE TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD A TECH DRIVE MY CAR AND HE DIAGNOSED A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER CONNECT SYSTEM WAS DOWN SO THEY SAID TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT HOME AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WITH THE ETA ON THE PARTS. I NEVER GOT THAT CALL AND I HAD TO CALL THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE BOOSTER IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ETA. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND FILED A CLAIM/CASE WITH THEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE EXPRESSED THIS WITH EVERY PERSON THAT I HAVE TALKED TO FROM THE DEALER TO THE REPS AT CHRYSLER. NO ONE IS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE NO SAFE TO DRIVE, I WAS JUST TOLD THAT THEY WOULD KEEP IN CONTACT WITH ME EVERY 4-5 DAYS. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR A LOANER BUT THE REPS AT CHRYSLER JUST TELL ME THAT IF I WANT ONE IT WOULD BE OUT OF MY POCKET AND IT'S NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE LOANERS. TODAY I GOT CONFIRMATION THAT THE BOOSTER WOULD BE AT THE DEALER ON MONDAY HOWEVER THE BOOSTER "INSTALLATION KIT" IS BACK ORDERED WITH NO ETA. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND I HAVE A JOB THAT REQUIRES ME TO BE IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO MY JOB. *TR

HELLO,I HAVE BEEN CALLING MY DEALERSHIP FOR TWO MONTHS IN ORDER TO RECTIFY THE BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL P14/NHTSA 14V-154) AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART OR KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. UPDATED 5/7/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIPM UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THE JEEP WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY. IT EITHER CRANKS AND CRANKS AND NEVER TURNS OVER, OR IT TURNS OVER BUT NEVER REACHES A GOOD IDLE STATE AND JUST SHUTS OFF. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, IT WOULD FINALLY START AND BE OK UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I LEAVE IT ALONE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I BELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE THE SAME AS THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A VERY PRICEY ITEM THAT JEEP (CHRYSLER) KNOWS IS FAULTY AND HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT IS ALSO AN ITEM THAT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AS WELL. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO START MY JEEP ON FRIDAY 7/25 I FOUND THAT WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT WOULD ENGAGE AND ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. I TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT READ TO BE NORMAL AND UPON FURTHER REVIEW I FOUND MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. THIS HAPPENS TO ME ABOUT ONCE A MONTH SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN MARCH OF 2014. I'VE READ FROM OTHERS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM WHICH WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT START OR COMPLETELY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH DID OCCUR ONE TIME TO ME IN JUNE ON A TRIP FROM OHIO TO MARYLAND! *JS

MAY 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE, (55,000 MILES) WOULDN'T START WHEN BUTTON PUSHED. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY UNTIL REPAIR IN JULY 2014. REPLACED TIMP AT COST OF $1201.96. *TR

I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND IT ALL POINT TO THE (TIPM). MY CAR DOES NOT START, AND WHEN IT STARTS, IT STALLS RIGHT AWAY. THE TRUCK EVEN STALLED WHILE RUNNING, LUCKILY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 35 MPH WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING LIKE 60 MPH. I DRIVE WITH MY WIFE, 2 CHILDREN AND A NEWBORN AND DO NOT WANT TO PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. NOW FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY, I ALREADY REPLACED 2 NEW BATTERIES AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I CANT TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT SEEMS TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX, AND IM SOMEONE THAT LIVES BY EVERY PAYCHECK AND STILL BARELY AFFORDS TO PAY THIS TRUCK WITH A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO GET REPORTED TO CHRYSLER JEEP AND NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY BE PUT ON RECALL. MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO GET ON THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ANYMORE DUE TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS GOING ON. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHO TO GO TO. *TR

BAD TIPM, NO VOLTAGE TO FUEL PUMP CAR WONT START, CAR STALLS ON ROAD. NOT SURE IF AIR BAGS WILL WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ADVISE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,584.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A MAILBOX. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT ARM, THE SHOULDERS, AND THE LEFT WAIST THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT DID NOT DISCLOSE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. MA 10/6 UPDATED 9/18/2017*CN

THE ENGINE WILL CRANK BUT WILL NOT TURNOVER. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, WE IDENTIFIED THE TIPM ISSUE. I TESTED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND IT IS NOT RELIABLY SENDING POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE RELAY CANNOT BE INDIVIDUALLY REPLACED, THE WHOLE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. *TR

ON JULY 19, 2014 MY VEHICLE CEASED TO START PROPERLY. IT WOULD TURN OVER AND OVER AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WOULD FINALLY START. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF STALLING AT A STOP SIGN OR EXITING THE FREEWAY THEN DIFFICULTY RESTARTING. THIS BECAME MORE AND MORE FREQUENT, AND EACH TIME MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE CAUSE. SEPTEMBER 4TH IS THE LAST DAY THAT MY CAR STARTED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC WHO AFTER HAVING POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE, FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT CHRYSLER HAD ANNOUNCED A MASSIVE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. HE REFERRED ME TO THE CHRYSLER RECALL SPECIALIST PHONE NUMBER, WHICH I CALLED IMMEDIATELY. MY FIRST FOUR PHONE CALLS WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A RUN AROUND GAME UNTIL I FOUND THE INFORMATION ON NHTSA WEBSITE. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION, REPAIRS WERE SET TO BEGIN 10/25/14. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, THE NOTICES WERE SET TO GO OUT BY MAIL ON 10/31/14 THE GENTLEMAN ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD ALSO RECEIVE AN EMAIL RECALL NOTIFICATION TO PROVIDE THE REPAIRING DEALER ON 10/31/14. I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT RANCHO JEEP FOR RECALL P54 REPAIR AT 10AM NOVEMBER 1. 10/31/14, 3PM, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL NOTIFICATION. I CALL CHRYSLER AGAIN AND AM NOW TOLD THAT I HAD BEEN MISINFORMED, IT IS A PRELIMINARY NOTICE, NO REPAIRS CAN BE DONE. MY JEEP IS STILL NONOPERATIONAL, SINCE SEPTEMBER 5, 2014. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART WITH...I HAVE HAD A RENTAL CAR FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL ISSUE, COSTING NEARLY $800 EACH MONTH. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCOMMODATE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE RENTAL EXPENSE WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY. MY VEHICLE WOULD BE OPERATIONAL IF NOT FOR THIS FACTORY RECALL P54, AND I WOULD NOT HAVE INCURRED $2400 RENTAL CAR EXPENSE TO DATE. *TR

TIPM COMPUTER BOARD/MODULE DEFECT...KNOWN DEFECT TO THE MANUFACTURER (POOR PART PRODUCT WITH HIGH CHANCE OF FAILURE). JEEP STALLED OUT ON ROAD SEVERAL TIMES WITH KIDS IN CAR...PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER AND STILL NO RECALL FOR OWNERS. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ACROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, AN INTERSECTION WHERE 2 LANES MERGE INTO ONE ON THE FAR SIDE. SHE WAS IN THE THROUGH LANE, THE LEFT LANE. OUR VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. CARS WERE MERGING FROM THE RIGHT AND NO ONE COULD COMPREHEND THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS IN A FAILURE MODE. WITH ENGINE NOT RUNNING, AND BELLS RINGING WHICH NO IDEA WHY THE BELLS, THE POWER-STEERING WAS INOPERATIVE AND THE BRAKES WERE VERY INEFFECTIVE. SHE WAS TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE OR BEING HIT. SOMEHOW, SHE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. SHE'S A VERY SMALL IN STATURE PERSON AND IT TOOK ALL SHE HAD TO STEER AND STOP THIS 5200 POUND JEEP. AFTER LETTING THE JEEP SIT, IT STARTED UP AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND WE WENT DIRECTLY TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY PLUGGED IN A CODE-READER, FOUND NO CODES, AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE US WITH A REPAIR WORK ORDER SO WE HAVE NO PAPER WORK. THEY KNOW WHAT'S WRONG BUT ARE AVOIDING THE ISSUE. IT'S THE TIPM! THIS ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE FUEL PUMP ISN'T RUNNING WHEN IN THE FAILURE MODE. SOMETIMES THE HORN BLOWS BY ITSELF! WE'VE HAD THE WIPERS NOT FUNCTION AND THE WINDOW NOT ROLL UP. THE VEHICLE IS HAUNTED. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL NHTSA? *TR
