It started over bump in the road then brake pedal would go all the way down not stopping correctly now it like that all the time while in motion or at a halt.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2019

I removed the key fobik before Jeep was put in park and engine was still running. Discovered at slow speed in parking lot. There was a recall by Chrysler/fca safety recall k08 � wireless ignition node receiver but fca claims my VIN was not part of the recall. However this is the exact problem that this Jeep is experiencing. Recall states "the frequency operated button integrated key (fobik) may be removed prior to placing the automatic transmission gear shift lever in the �park� position. This could result in unintended vehicle movement and cause a crash without warning. " fca also says "recalls are VIN related, where manufactured and when manufactured. Recall k08 does not involve your vehicle" this vehicle can be in gear with the engine running and the key removed resulting in unattended vehicle movement. Very unsafe.

8 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2019

The vehicle will start on it's own. You turn it off and it will restart whether you are in the vehicle or not. The vehicle will lock and unlock several times while in or out of the car. The fob will not open the locks or they jump between locked and unlocked by themselves. The windows will open on their own especially the lift window in the back when driving or sitting still. The panic alarm goes off without a reason. It will start on it's own in the middle of the night or in a parking lot. Makes no difference whether I am there or not . Dealership says they can not get it to do these things. It bought the vehicle in June and it has been happening since then.

14 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2017

Our 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been shutting off in many different occasions since may 2017. We've taken it to our local mechanic and he suggested we go directly to the Dodge/Jeep dealership. Nobody can find what is causing this but say this is a known issue. While driving the vehicle at varying speeds, including sitting still idling, traveling 25 mph on municipal road, 60+mph on hwy. When this happens the whole car shuts off leaving us unable to steer, loss of breaks, loss of power steering, loss of power to the whole Jeep, engine shuts off and loss of ability to control the vehicle to safety. Stalling in moving traffic when you don't expect it has inherent risk and the loss of power systems like brakes and steering that accompanies a vehicle stall makes getting out of the way difficult. Losing all ability to accelerate or use power steering. We've had to run the vehicle off the road in the middle of traffic into a farm pasture in order to get to safety. The Jeep has lost power on the hwy traveling 60+mph and had to veer off in order to control the Jeep and get to safety. This is our main car to take my wife to work and our daughter to and from school. We've had to leave the car in the driveway due to life safety concerns. My local Dodge/Jeep dealership says this is a known issue but don't know how to resolve this potential life threatening issue is very concerning and we would appreciate your help in resolving this matter.

16 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2015

Was driving my vehicle at approximately 25 miles per hour when my car shut off completely. My power steering and brakes stopped working as well and I almost rear ended another vehicle. I assumed it was the battery and replaced the vehicle battery at a cost of $225. 00. The car worked intermitently for the next few days until today, when I had shut it off and then it wouldn't restart. I was finally able to get the vehicle restarted and got it to garden city Jeep where they told me it was indeed a win module. I have noticed that there is a recall for that exact part for approximately 7,000 other 2010 Grand Cherokees and wondering why others were not included. This is a dangerous and expensive situation and I would like to have it remedied as soon as possible. Thank you, anthony j. Miller 58 catherine street valley stream, NY 11581.

21 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2011

Multiple electrical issues. Sunroof not closing, passenger window would go down but not up (from passenger switch only - driver's side would work the passenger window fine), radio would turn off at random, and the switches that can be programmed to work the garage door -have never worked. When these issues are taken to the dealer - they cannot replicate the problem so they will not fix or repair. On one occasion the dealer saw the window switch not working. . . But had to have the warranty people come and see for themselves (car was on an extended warranty) well, low and behold it worked when they were there. These issues were extremely frustrating and the dealer was not helpful. I explained the car clearly had electrical issues in general. The car only has 22,600 miles on it and I planned on keeping it for many years. However, if I am having this many problems now - there is now way I will keep it.
