Power Train problem #1

Car will crank but will not start. After about 10-20 minutes car will start. Remote start is more successful than turning the key.

Power Train problem #2

Same issue with my 2011 Jeep grand Cherokee the tipm needs to be replaced. Purchased used only 25k miles two months later check engine light would not go away, started to stop then had trouble cranking then would not start. Took to local dealership over a month ago, dealership still has my vehicle and im without a car. Extended warranty will no longer pay for my rental. My house is 30 mins away from my job and I have two small childern. Chrysler could only "expedite" the tipm to the dealership. . . . Meanwhile I'm carless until who knows when. Each week the dealership gives me a different story on when the part will be in.

Power Train problem #3

Drove vehicle on the beach cape hatteras nc. From ramp 44 to cape point about 1 1/2 mile. Vehicle got stuck I backed up and pulled forward 2 times very gently. On the third try someone yelled you are on fire. The transmission had overheated an set the vehicle on fire. Chrysler says I abused the vehicle. I have driven on this beach 40 years with various vehicles. Never had a problem. This Jeep is 4 wheel drive with a sand mode. If these vehicles can heat up this quick with no warning they are a safety problem.
