Vehicle was brought in to dealer on 3/24/15 for stalling issues and other safety recalls. Car had not started on at least 4 occasions up until 3/24/25. I was told the key fob batteries needed to be replaced and that may fix the issue. I paid to have both batteries replaced. On 5/4/15 I brought the vehicle back to the dealer because the not starting issue had become more extreme. It occurred 8 times since the 3/24/15 service and on one occasion it would not accelerate while I was driving on a highway. There was an extreme delay and suddenly the car reacted and lurched forward. This was the first time it had ever done this. Additionally, on one occasion of not starting it continued to chug instead of just not reacting. Dealer advised again that one of the key fobs needed to have a battery replaced (both were replaced the previous month) and that they didn't have parts for the safety recall. Headquarters advised they would let me know in a few weeks or months when the parts would be available. The problems is rapidly getting worse and there are indications that there may be issues while I am driving it as well. I have asked for escalation and something even a temporary fix be done. No response from headquarters yet.

This vehicle will stall while you are in drive and driving. There is no indication that the car has stalled. Lights and radio are one. When you go to break, the car will not stop. The following do not work, breaks, emergency break, power steering and throwing the car in park. You have to coast until you stop and hope you do not hit anything. Once you stop, the car will restart. This is a know issues with this vehicle. It has been in over 3 times to get fix. It does have a recall but that has not fixed the problem. It is currently a deadly weapon.

My 2012 Jeep grend cherokee laredo has stalled when turning on and has often not turned on. When driving the vehicle the car has shut off almost causing an accident. This has happened on many occasions. The car accelerates often when driving the lights, airbag symbols, etc turn on erratic. I had to replace the alternator and battery due to faulty timp which Jeep has recalls on however not my year although-my car has the same problems which I have to pay for and I have researched and many other Jeep owners have the same issues and Jeep is very aware and are not taking responsibility, I feel unsafe driving this car especially with my children, the car is unreliable and have been late to work due to the car stalls and lack og turning on. This car has a mind of its own starts when it feels like it, speeds up on its own, lights turn on off,tells u keys left the car when it hasnt. Very angry at Jeep I should not have to pay for faulty equipment due to your negligence!.

On 11/11/13, I took my car in for the state inspection and reported the issue of the car not starting / stalling out to huffines Jeep in plano, TX. Huffines diagnosed the problem as a faulty tipm. The replacement tipm was installed on 11/25/13. On 11/29/13, I noticed that every time I use my right blinker, my fog lights flash. Car still does not start/stay running after starting and it has taken up to 8 tries to get it going. Even if it sounds like the car started, it will sometimes die after running a few seconds. I've also noticed that the doors do not always lock when I press the button on the door handle. This is also related to the tipm. Additionally, on 11/29/13, the dash light came on notifying me that the key fob battery was low. I replaced the key fob battery that day but that had no impact on the greater problems of the car not starting and the fog lights flashing when the right signal is activated. Will be taking my Jeep back to huffines tomorrow morning.

I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was bought brand new in December 2011. In 2013 I experienced my first incident where my Jeep started, ran for 1-2 seconds, then died. I tried multiple times to restart it and could not get it to restart. I finally decided to completely turn off the vehicle and start the ignition process over. Thankfully that seemed to work. Between the first incident and the next service visit (January 2014), this happened approximately 6-10 times. I made the dealer aware of the issue and they noted it on the service sheet; however they told me they saw no error codes and could not recreate the problem. The in February I had an incident where it started then stalled, then the security alarm sounded. I had to remove the push start and use the key in the ignition in order to disengage the security system. Then approximately one week later I started the Jeep to go to work and it died after running for 1-2 seconds. I restarted the ignition process, this time when I let go of the push button start the starter continued to crank for approximately 10 seconds, until I exited the vehicle and locked the car. Now in the last two days the vehicle has started, ran for 1-2 seconds, then died on three separate occasions. I have made an appointment with the dealer and shared the above information with them. I have advised them that I think I have a bad tipm. I am hoping to get this addressed immediately since I have 33,500 miles on the vehicle and do not want this to be replaced after the warranty expires. I am seeing the average cost to replace the tipm at a dealer is $1200-$1400. There are enough similar stories about these sort of issues that Jeep/Chrysler should issue a recall and stand behind their product.

I have an ongoing problem with starting my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 overland. The Jeep will start but will stall right away. Sometimes if you put the Jeep in gear quickly it will stall in gear also. Most of the time it stalls right after starting. I have to shut the Jeep off and press the start button again to get it started. I have had this Jeep at the dealership (colorado Chrysler Jeep) multiple times over the last two years and the "resolution" for the dealership is that they can not recreate the problem. On 4/10/15 the dealership said that it stalled on them and they replaced a switch ig 08053059. Received the Jeep back and it stalled the next day. Called colorado Chrysler Jeep back and they said that the service department would have to get an electrician in to have it looked at and that would take a couple of weeks. I called Chrysler at this point and Chrysler had me take the Jeep into cherry creek Dodge because they could "get me in quicker". On 5/22/15 I took the Jeep to cherry creek Dodge and the service department performed procedure s1308000399 5/2015 outlined in Chrysler's star system. The next day the Jeep stalled. I have called back multiple times to both Chrysler and cherry creek Dodge with either no answer or no solution. Cherry creek Dodge is now putting me of with a new recall saying the service department thinks that will fix the problem, and Chrysler wants to go with what cherry creek Dodge says. My problem is that this has been going on for two years. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Ever day the Jeep stalls at some point. Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated. We first noticed this problem at about 25,000 miles. We took the Jeep to colorado Chrysler at 35,451 miles and the Jeep has about 54,000 miles now. At first the stalling was just every once in a while, now it happens daily.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. On 5/8/2012 the contact pushed the start button on the vehicle, the lights on the vehicle flashed once, and immediately the vehicle turned off completely. Contact pushed the start button again, the lights in the vehicle remained off, and the engine did not start. The vehicle battery was completely dead. Contact attempted to jump start the vehicle in order to drive it to the dealer but vehicle still would not start. Subsequently the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for repair. Dealer determined vehicle had a bad battery. Per the invoice received from the dealer "body ground at battery was not secure" and after installing new battery mechanic noticed "sparking at lower negative cable on body" and that he "found nut for stud laying in the bottom of the battery tray". Mechanic then noted he fixed the above problems and re-installed the new battery. Dealer then returned the vehicle to the contact. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and a case was assigned.

This Jeep was replaced because the prior Jeep was lemon lawed. The engine light appeared after about 3 weeks of purchase, the car was brand new. Like the last Jeep, it would stall causing loss of power brakes and power steering. The electrical system would also freeze (navigation and radio) constantly and would not fix itself unless the battery was unplugged. Shave Jeep in thousand oaks, CA upgraded the engine and navigation software, but problems resumed short after. Shaver Jeep then informed me that they would only look at the vehicle if the engine light was on. The engine light would go on and off so it was hard to time it right to bring it into the shop. Because of this "rule," shaver Jeep will not acknowledge that the car has been brought in for repair 7 times. As of today, the car stalled on a busy freeway and put the passengers in danger. Constant engine code: crankshaft position sensor.
