2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. RECALL WAS ISSUED NOVEMBER 2019 WITH A TEMP FIX. I RECEIVED THE TEMP FIX IN JANUARY 2020. I HAD ANOTHER STALLING INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY FEB 11 2020. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE. JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL.

MY WIFE 'KENDRA' WAS DRIVING THE SAID VEHICLE WHICH IS HER EVERY DAY VEHICLE TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT ON FEB. 7, 2020 AND THE FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH SHUT THE FUEL OFF CAUSING 5HE VEHICLE TO STALL AS WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THROUGH A 6 LANE BUSY INTERSECTION. WIFE WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T MANEUVER VEHICLE TO SAFETY LEAVING HER STUCK WITH CARS TRAVELING AT 45-50 MPH THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND SHE COULDN'T SAFELY EXIT THE VEHICLE. SHE CALLED ME FOR HELP AND AS I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER TWO BARELY MISSED HER WITH SCREECHING BRAKES AND HER SCREAMING. I WAS 2 MINUTES FROM HER AND AS I WAS APPROACHING THE VEHICLE STARTED. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME AND I IMMEDIATELY CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO GET THE RECALL FIXED BUT THEY (ROCKWALL DODGE) SAID THE RECALL PART ISN'T AVAILABLE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. CHRYSLER SAID I COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ROCKWALL DODGE WHERE THEY COULD DO A 'TEMPORARY' FIX, WHATEVER THAT IS. THAT WAS FEB 7 2020 AND I'M IN A RENTAL WITH NO FIX OR 'TEMPORARY' FIX, THAT I CALL BS. THIS VERY DANGEROUS FOR VEHICLE OWNERS AND MAY CAUSE A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO MOTORISTS. MY WIFE HAS TO DRIVE OVER A 4 MILE BRIDGE 4 LANES EAST AND 4 LANES WEST WITH ONLY AN OUTSIDE SHOULDER BETWEEN ROWLETT AND ROCKWALL TX WITH SPEED THAT VARY BETWEEN 70-90 MPH, IF IT WAS TO STALL THERE SHE'S VERY LIKELY TO BE HURT BAD OR KILLED. TO THIS DATE NO 'TEMPORARY' FIX AND NOW CHRYSLER AND ROCKWALL DODGE ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR A RENTAL. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON THEM TO RESOLVE THIS BEFORE THERE IS LOSS OF LIFE.

I HAD THE ORIGINAL RECALL DONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, AFTER JUST OVER 2 YEARS IT STOPPED WORKING AND WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK THE CAR CAN'T START. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD THE RECALL DONE AND IT WAS MORE THAN 2 YEARS, I WAS NO LONGER COVERED. I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE ALREADY SINCE THEN. I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JEEP AND THEY HAVE PUT A SECOND RECALL ON THIS PART. HOWEVER THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART WHICH IS ABOUT $10 AND THE CAR WILL NOT START WITHOUT IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MAIN COMPANY AND WAS TOLD IF I HAVE A PROBLEM STARTING OR STALL WHILE DRIVING I AM TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT AND EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND IF THE RELAY IS THE PROBLEM THEY WILL REPAIR IT WITH AN OVER THE COUNTER PART AND WILL CALL ME WHEN THE DEALERSHIP PART COMES IN. I ASKED HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO EVALUATE MY CAR IF IT WAS TOWED IN TO BE FIXED. NO ONE COULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER. ONLY SAYING ONCE THEY LOOK AT IT AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM THEN I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. HERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE LETTER THEY SENT ME ' A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING '. SO MY QUESTION IS, IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AS IS, AND IF NOT WHAT ARE MY CHOICES. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THIS. I AM INFORMING YOU OF THIS PROBLEM, THEY DIDN'T OFFER A RENTAL CAR WHEN I SAID WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS SITUATION. A $10 PART AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY, I KEEP 2 REPLACEMENTS IN THE GLOVE BOX IN CASE MY CAR DOESN'T START BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE CAR CAN JUST STALL WHILE DRIVING. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND THE CARS AROUND THEM. IT'S A DISGRACE AND I THINK THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DIDN'T PREPARE TO HAVE THE PARTS READY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I JUST HOPE NO ONE DIES (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

MY CAR STALLED OUT ON A TURN AND I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALMOST HIT A CAR DUE TO THIS. JEEP HAS AN OPEN BUT UNFIXABLE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER, MOPAR, AND DEALERSHIPS. THEY WILL NOT HELP. BASICALLY, TOLD ME THE FIX MAY OR MAY NOT HELP, BUT IT'S A TEMPORARY ONE. THERE IS NO REAL FIX TO IT. I AM TOO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR KNOWING THAT IT CAN STALL OUT (AS IT ALREADY HAS), WHAT IF I HIT SOMEONE AND HURT MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. SO PRETTY MUCH, THEY HAVE AN OPEN RECALL BUT WILL NOT HELP AND THERE IS NO FIX TO IT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A FREQUENT ACCELERATION PROBLEM. STARTED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM AN ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING TO AROUND 30 MPH AND ACCELERATING TO 55. NOW IT DOES TO EVERYTHING. TURNING FROM A STOP LIGHT INTO A HIGHWAY I FIND MY SELF HAVING TO FLOOR IT, CAUSING IT TO REV TO 4500 RPM'S AND STILL BARELY MOVING. ROUND ABOUTS ARE A STRUGGLE AS WELL, TRYING TO TURN OUT OF ONE AND SPEED UP IS HORRIBLE. EXTREMELY UNSAFE WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD IN YOUR CAR AND YOUR TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND YOUR CAR WON'T MOVE.

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD TAPPING SOUND FROM ENGINE AT IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT WITH BAD LIFTERS. THE NEEDLE BEARINGS IN THE LIFTERS USED IN THIS ENGINE TEND TO FAIL. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE LIFTER BEARING TO SEIZE UP AND DAMAGE THE CAMSHAFT. HAD LIFTERS REPLACED TWO TIMES IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. CAMSHAFT REPLACED ONE TIME. RESEARCH ON THE WEB SHOW SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. THE FAILURE CAN OCCUR ANYWHERE FROM 50,000 MILES TO OVER 100,000 MILES. THE COMMON CAUSE IS THE LIFTER BEARINGS FAILING AND DAMAGING THE CAMSHAFT. REPAIRS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM $3000-5000. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE FAILURE IS DUE TO AN ENGINEERING DEFECT ON THE LIFTERS BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

OFF AND ON MY CAR KEEPS TELLING MY TO CHECK MY GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH I'VE REPLACED IT AND IT'S ALWAYS ON THERE TIGHTLY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER HEADREST SAFETY DEVICE DEPLOYED. HAD SOMEONE BEEN SITTING IN THE SEAT, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS HEAD AND NECK INJURIES. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED, IT APPEARS IT JUST FAILED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM. NOW WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE DRIVER HEADREST DEPLOYING WHILE WE ARE OPERATING THE JEEP AND IT CAUSING AN INJURY OR ACCIDENT.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE KEY FOB, AFTER LOCKING THE CAR THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK AGAIN WITH OUT MY CONTROL. THEN MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCURRED, THE LIGHTS FLICKERED, THE REAR CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, AND THEN DRIVING THE CAR EVENTUALLY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE 405 FREE WAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER WITH OUT POWER STEERING.

THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE 11/2019 WHICH STATES THAT THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GET THE VEHICLE IN BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX GIVEN BY FIAT/CHRYSLER AND I HAVE TO JUST WAIT. THEY HAVE A LIST OF OTHER VEHICLES/OWNERS WAITING AS WELL. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT TWICE WHILE OPERATING AS WELL AS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE (ALSO PART OF THE RECALL ISSUE).

ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO FAILED PLASTIC TABS INSIDE THE HEADREST. WHEN IT DEPLOYS IT SHOOTS FORWARD AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEAD INJURIES. THE DEPLOYMENT HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT WAS A RANDOM DEPLOYMENT NOT CAUSED BY ANY IMPACT (THE DESIGN IS ACTUALLY TO DEPLOY WHEN THERE IS IMPACT) IN THIS CASE IT DEPLOYS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE HOUSING OF THE PIN WHICH HOLDS THE HEADREST IN PLACE.

EVERY MORNING WHEN I START MY VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK. I NEED TO CRANK IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL AT SOME POINT IT STARTS. I WENT FOR SERVICE FOR RECALLS IN MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2019. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, R09. EVEN THOUGH THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET WITH THE PARTS IN STOCK. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING THIS INCONVENIENCE EVERYDAY. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

WHILE I WAS WIPING DOWN THE DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE-HEADREST IT DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, I WAS CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE PART IN QUESTION IS THE DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE HEAD-REST. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HE HAD SEEN 5 OF THESE AND IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE HEADREST IN PLACE HAD DETERIORATED AND BROKE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS AND TO CALL FCA TO FILE A CLAIM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR WHICH I DID. FCA TOLD ME IF I FIXED IT BEFORE THEY LOOK AT IT THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE REPAIR. FCA INFORMED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME TO SET UP A TIME AND LOCATION TO LOOK AT MY CAR IN 2 TO 4 WEEKS. IN THE MEANTIME THEY SAID TO DRIVE IT AS IS WITH NO CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED THE CORNER AND MY JEEP COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING. THE MESSAGE THAT CAME UP TOLD ME TO SERVICE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. IT WOULD NOT START OR DO ANYTHING. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE AND AM NOW HAVING TO TOW IT TO A DEALER.

REAR DRIVESHAFT CV JOINT FAILURE AT ~78,500 MILES. THE BOOT THAT CONTAINS THE BEARING GREASE FAILED AND LEFT A RING OF GREASE ON NEIGHBORING COMPONENTS. FAILED JOINT IS THE ONE THAT CONNECTS TO THE TRANSFER CASE. FROM ONSET OF SYMPTOMS (MILD CLICKING NOISE) TO NOTICEABLE DRIVELINE VIBRATION AND VERY LOUD POPPING IN CENTER OF VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 100 MILES. UNSURE HOW MUCH LONGER I COULD HAVE DRIVEN BEFORE THE JOINT FAILED OR THE DRIVELINE VIBRATIONS DAMAGED THE TRANSFER CASE OR REAR AXLE. WHEN THE REAR DRIVESHAFT WAS REMOVED, I NOTICED A GREASE RING ON A FRONT DRIVESHAFT CV JOINT. THAT DRIVESHAFT WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
