My vehicle has stalled twice with my children in the car due to the listed recall in which Chrysler has already replaced once! this did not fix the problem and is currently at the dealer again for diagnoses because I am scared for my life to drive this vehicle. Can you please help! I was in motion going 55 miles an hour in the fast lane when the vehicle stalled for no reason. The Jeep service tech has linked it back to the same fuel relay and this could be a fatal problem if not fixed. Please I have three kids and myself that could be injured if this is not addressed ASAP!! Chrysler is recalling 188,723 2011 Dodge durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee suvs in the u. S. Because of a defective fuel-pump relay inside the power module that can cause the vehicles to "stall without warning," according to the national highway traffic safety administration. The suvs are equipped with either a 3. 6-liter v6 or 5. 7-liter v8 engine. "in the affected vehicles, the fuel-pump relay inside the totally integrated power module may fail, causing the vehicle to stall without warning," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "a vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash. " this is part of a global recall of an estimated 230,760 Chrysler suvs, including 15,898 in canada, 7,126 in mexico and 19,013 outside the nafta region. Chrysler said it is unaware of any accidents or injuries linked to the recall. It added that no other vehicle functions, including airbag deployment, are affected by the fuel-pump relay. The affected suvs were built from January 5, 2010 to July 20, 2011. Dealers will replace the fuel-pump relay with one external to the totally integrated power module. The recall is expected to begin on October 24. Owners can contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Tl the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle overheated and an unknown indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure occurred a couple of times. In addition, the vehicle would sometimes not start from a cold start. The contact had to shift the gear out of park in order to get the vehicle to start. The vehicle was taken to kernersville Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (950 nc-66, kernersville, nc 27284, (888) 656-5791) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module (fuse box) needed to be replaced. The circuit was not getting power to the fan to cool the radiator. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 135,000.
Driving w on 60 in az, 30 mins after having oil changed at local auto care shop, where I was told everything looked fine but my radiator hoses looking soft. Consider getting g new ones in this 112 degree heat (like the day I'm submitting this). On freeway, engine overheats, stalls, steering locks, brakes harden and I come to a complete stop in an inconvenient 2 inches off the curb, still in everyone's way as they attempt to exit mill Ave. Brakes hard and doesnt allow for push-to-start button to turn over. Nor to place in neutral. Standing by for a tow as we speak. Never had this happen before. Coolant just topped off three days ago and given an okay after oil change half hour prior to this happening. Perhaps coincidence. Perhaps just life. Reporting either way.
The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee will experience engine stall while the vehicle is in motion, at times in excess of 30 mph. This causes a loss of power steering and power brake functions. It has likewise stalled at stop lights/signals which is equally dangerous when vehicles are approaching from behind at high speeds expecting the vehicle in front to move with the green light. Chrysler issued a recall (p54) related to these issues, however the cheap external fuel pump relay wiring harness fix they employed to remedy the problems can be characterized as insufficient at best. In fact, the issues with our family vehicle have actually worsened since the p54 recall was performed in may of 2015. The vehicle's problems have now progressed to the point where the vehicle will not start: a typical symptom of these dangerous Jeep/Chrysler products. There are literally hundreds of consumer complaints outlining similar issues I. E. , the vehicles being difficult to start or not starting at all, vehicles' power windows not operating properly, door locks opening and locking on their own, horn blaring, the vehicle not recognizing the fob, electronic fuel pumps remaining on after the vehicle is shut off and stalling while the vehicle is in motion. A common theme related to all of these issues seems to be the power distribution center for the vehicles or the tipm (total integrated power module). It seems fiat - Chrysler has been aware of the problems with their oem manufactured tipm parts for some time, since 2007, but took the woefully inadequate route of correcting only a small and less dangerous issue of the manufacturers defect. Hence their court ordered p54 external fuel pump wiring harness, which on a good day will correct the fuel pump run-on. What needs to be addressed is the stalling while in motion issues associated with these vehicles. Please mandate a safety recall.
I had an extremely dangerous situation occur on November 15, 2014 with our 2011 Grand Cherokee. Around 7 p. M. , I was merging onto interstate 95 south from 332, the newtown, PA exit. I did a hard acceleration to avoid traffic bringing up the rear. The engine then accelerated uncontrollably . . . So fast that the tachometer was pinned to the right side . . . Into the red zone near 7k. A later check of the vehicle maximum speed on the garmin gps revealed it peaked at 97 m. P. H. With my foot completely off the gas pedal, the engine was pinned to maximum revs. I honestly thought it would disintegrate. In the span of a few seconds, I knew not to shut off the engine, as I would have lost steering. I had the presence of mind to put the transmission in neutral, to at least stop the speeding. The engine continued to rev out of control. I believe I was kicking the gas pedal, and the engine eventually released its grip on speed and returned to near-idle, upon which I re-engaged to drive. If a car were anywhere ahead or near me, a devastating wreck would have been the result. I took the Jeep to the reedman-toll service department in langhorne, PA. They could find nothing that would confirm the incident. I contacted Chrysler customer service. An agent named caleb took my report and said he had no similar reports. I find it distressing that nothing in the Jeep 'black box' recording system would have a record of this potentially catastrophic imcident. The reedman service advisor speculated that I may have 'reset' the software if and when I was kicking the accelerator while the event was under way.
A 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 64,000 miles on it is sitting in my driveway, as it will not start. I find it appalling that a car that is 3 years old can have so many issues plaguing it. It is a money pit. There is a cylinder 2 misfire (needs cylinder head), a torque converter code, and a faulty fuel pump relay on the 'totally integrated power module'. The safety of my family, and the consumer in general, is compromised - when a $30,000 vehicle has the potential to stall while driving. When working, the Jeep decelerates while driving, has low power and idles very irregularly. I am very disappointed with my purchase and with the fact that Chrysler stands for such faulty products.
When cranking my vehicle it begins to stall and sounds as if it is flooding. It continues to do this until I can get it to turn off. The stalling is continuous. When I took my Jeep to the dealership they informed that the problem I am experiencing is due to a defective totally integrated power module, or tipm. This defective part is the cause of the problems I'm incurring with starting my vehicle and it's stalling. While researching the issue I learned that the tipm can "prevent the fuel pump from shutting off properly, cause headlights and taillights to shut off, and can cause random and uncontrollable activity of the horn, windshield wipers, alarm system, door locks, and airbags. ".

My issue is with the a/c evaporator in my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. After driving for about 3 hours on the road with the a/c in use the evaporator freezes up and air stops blowing out of the vents. I can still hear the a/c working but nothing blows out. I took my car to the dealership and they told me Chrysler is aware of the ongoing and reoccurring problem but has determined that they are not going to fix it. They recommended that I just use the a/c on a warmer setting or turn it off after it freezes up and wait a while for it to thaw out. I believe this is an unacceptable fix for a problem that I have and that should be covered under my warranty. I know other people with Chrysler vehicles that have the same exact issue. This can be very dangerous when you are on a road trip in the south in heats of 100+ degrees especially when you plan to ride in a car with functional a/c.
