general problems of the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee

My car is driving okay but it’s having some electrical issues and it shuts down.

Win module failure.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to put the key into ignition; however, the key was inoperative. The contact stated that the key was intermittently was stuck in the ignition. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle remained at the residence. The contact researched and was made aware of NHTSA campaign number: 14v567000 (electrical system); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

My vehicle has stopped 3 times this year without warning. Twice while I was driving and once while my daughter was driving. There is a click sound and the radio and everything on in the vehicle goes. The vehicle begins to slow down. Luckly when this happened there were no cars around so each time we are able to stop the vehicle wait a second and start the vehicle without an issue. This is a very dangerous issue and this needs to be fixed ASAP.

I was driving the other day and all the sudden I hit a bump and the key fob falls out of the ignition cutting the engine completely off. So I was coasting with no engine or power. Luckily I put it in to neutral and it started back up. This could have been very dangerous. Also my key will not release when I am trying to turn the car off so I have to leave it on sometimes and it has killed my battery. Most of the time it will release after a clicking noise I can turn it to the off position and it will release. It has cost me two batteries and a new key.

Went in to the store came out put my key in and it does not start all the dash lights come had it towed home my son came over put key in and it started right up one week later the same thing happen it not reading my key all the time.

Vehicle randomly shuts off while driving at any speed and the steering is lost. This happens while driving and has happened at 60mph as well as 35. There is no warning before it happens. Extremely dangerous.

Vehicle shifts into lower2nd gear while driving at highway speeds according to owners manual this is called limp mode and needs to be stopped placed in park and turn ignition off and restarted to continue driving this has happened to me and others.

Car in park, remains on after key has been turned off and removed. Key is new and replaced this year. Appears to be something in the ignition/electrical system.

09 Jeep Grand Cherokee electrical issue - second occurrence: lost all dash gauges, speedometer, lighting, radio, turn signals, no brake lights and heat/ac while driving down the highway. I took the vehicle immediately to the dealer with the issue showing. I was told that someone would look at the vehicle, however, I had to leave the vehicle with the dealer overnight. It appears the dealer did not look at the vehicle until the next day. Dealer returned the vehicle unable to determine the problem. Told to bring the vehicle back when the problem occurs again. This is a safety issue which could have resulted in an accident. The vehicle should be recalled for safety concerns. This is my second complaint to NHTSA.

My light for air bags when I turn wheel it comes on.

While exiting the expressway and coming to a stop at a light all the gauges on my vehicle went out. I no longer have the following: brake lights, turn signals, speed control, key fob, possibly air bags and general electrical components. This is the 2nd occurrence of this problem. I was almost rear ended while turning because of this issue. Vehicle is parked until it can be serviced. Dealer unable to service and would only schedule an appoint four days from today.

We were driving at approx 55 mph (not braking or turning) when suddenly the vehicle lost all acceleration, the gas and mph as well as directional and temperature gauges went dark/dropped to zero, then the car lost power steering. We were able to pull off the side of the road, place the car into park, removed the key, and then returned the key and restarted the car. The car then started normally.

Twice within the past month, my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee with approximately 85,000 miles has stalled on me while driving. Both times I took it to a garage; the second time I took it to a Jeep dealer/service center. No codes were thrown either time and neither service person was able to duplicate the problem. It may be a coincidence, but both times this happened, I had filled my tank with gas that day. On both instances, I was able to put the car in park and restart the car with no issues. Additionally, for the past few months, the car often does not start on the first try. It will start with no problems on the second attempt. Dealership has replaced the win module; this did not seem to help. The throttle bottle was also replaced in case that was causing the stalling; that did not help either. I now feel as if I am risking my life and my kids' lives every time I step into the car and take it on the highway. If this stalling issue happens on a highway, we could be killed in an instant. Very dangerous and the service people don't seem all that concerned. . . They can't pinpoint the issue so they charge me $100+ and send me on my way.

I purchased a used 2009 Grand Cherokee limited about 1 year ago. Since then, I have had nothing but electrical problems with the vehicle. Over the past 6 months, I have had it into the same dealership approximately 10+ times for the same reason, electrical. Clearly Chrysler is aware there is an issue, as they have repeatedly picked up the repair tab since I started an actual claim with Chrysler customer service. I will start the vehicle up to ten times no problem, then stop somewhere come back to start vehicle again and it just wont start. Chrysler customer service has dragged their feet so far, and their follow up has been poor at best. All the dealership has done is continue to re diagnose that there is a different problem each time as I the consumer continue to pay thousands for the faulty electrical, and cheap parts that have been engineered in my truck. Once again, the consumer foots the bill for corporate americas shortcomings. Their is definitely a problem with chryslers wireless ignition cylinder, very similar to the gm recall on ignitions if you ask me. Now I have no vehicle again as I sit here waiting for Chrysler to do something, completely on chryslers time clock. For what we spend on these vehicles today, the products and service provided by Jeep and Chrysler have made me sick to my stomach. I will never buy another Jeep product in the next 30 years that I purchase vehicles due to the poor quality of parts, and the terrible follow up and service by Chrysler corporation. . .

I was driving on the garden state parkway north traveling approximately 65mph (the speed limit) and I was in the left lane of the three lane local lanes. I drifted too far to the left and hit the rumble strips on the side of the road. Immediately, my tpms light came on and I pulled over right away. Apparently, my tmps sensor on the tire broke and was letting air out of my tire. What happened was, the metal screw that is around the metal valve stem sheered off and nothing was holding the valve stem/tpms in place except for the air pressure inside the tire. When I ran over the rumble strip, it must have dislodged the sensor and started letting air out of my tire. I went to a tire shop and they found a broken tpms sensor and they replaced the valve stem with a standard non-tpms valve stem. My tire was undamaged and is back on the rim, so it was 100% a problem with the tpms sensor. Furthermore, last year, I had a similar problem. I got a flat tire and my tpms was damaged. Now, looking back, I feel that the tpms must have failed causing my flat tire. In that incident, my tire was destroyed because of the flat. I notice now that Chrysler has a newer version of their tpms sensors that go on the wheel. The new version has a rubber valve stem, while the ones on my vehicle have a metal valve stem. Obviously, Chrysler has found an issue with the metal ones and have updates their parts. I think that this is a serious issue and even though I am ok, I can forsee this causing major problems. Chrysler should have my remaining tpms sensors replace at no cost to me.
