general problems of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

The Jeep dealership said the crankshaft lost at least one of the raised portions that lifts the lifters and the fillings damaged the piston cylinder walls requiring the engine heads to be replaced at a cost of over $10,000. The Jeep had approximated 144,442 miles and had never smoked or used any oil until the engine light came on while driving down the interstate in western so dakota.

The car is driving normal and suddently , the car sterling weel get hard, the brakes get hard without ant signs , the car shorts down in the middle of the hightway . This situation got ne keating manu tines for my life.

Engine light came on. P0520 default code re oil pressure sensor/switch. In researching this issue, it appears that despite numerous complaints by others for exact same issue, no recall by Jeep. My mechanic also noted this is a very common issue for Jeep. Jeep customers are having to pay out of pocket for this very expensive repair. Jeep needs to issue a recall and reimburse for this repair.

While driving, fuel pump quit working. After stopping, car would not start.

I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee on the street, turning the corner at an intersection, the engine lost all power, turned off, and I lost control of the power steering and vehicle in general. I almost hit a pedestrian that was walking on the sidewalk. This was a city street, the vehicle was in motion, and I was turning left. I have called the Jeep dealership repeatedly telling them about this symptom of my vehicle. I also have a problem with the vehicle not starting when try to turn it on, the engine will turn over repeatedly but not fire up. After several attempts, it sometimes will start. It is an intermittent issue. Other times I need to call a tow truck. I feel this is directly related to recall r09, even though this recall was performed on my vehicle, these are the same symptoms described, so I think the problem is back even after the recall. It is a safety issue and needs to be addressed by Chrysler/Jeep. I have contacted the dealership at river oaks Jeep/Chrysler on 4807 kirby drive in houston TX, 77098, and paid for a diagnostic. They initially were not able to identify the problem. After a couple days they said the fuel pump was not holding pressure and would cost $2000 to replace. I can not afford that right now, and I declined repairs. I called the headquarters for Chrysler/Jeep dealership and asked for them to pay for the repairs as this is a safety issue and a malfunctioning part related to a recall, and they refused. This is documented under case #34923344. I feel Chrysler Jeep should either replace my fuel pump relay again, even after it was already done once under recall r09, or they should pay to replace the entire fuel pump, as they are not able to diagnose the source of the problem with 100% certainty. This is a safety issue related to the engineering of their vehicles.

The vehicle continues to die within seconds when the start engine button is initially pushed. Frequently have to to push engine start button again w/o pressing brake to turn power completely off, then push engine start button again w/brake to obtain full power of vehicle. This problem has been reported to Jeep on several occasions and has occurred for a couple of years. I have completed all recalls on file hoping this problem would be addressed. However, it appears to be worsening this summer, where almost daily I have to attempt to restart my car to gain full power.

Etant absent pendant plusieurs mois et laissant ainsi mon v�hicule immobilis�, j�ai souvent des probl�mes DE batterie � mon retour, pour rem�dier � cela j�ai achet� d�but juillet 1 appareil DE maintenance DE batterie sp�cialement pr�vu pour ce genre DE situation;je suis parti DE chez moi le dimanche 8 juillet et j�ai pos� l�appareil en fin DE matin�e sur la voiture stationn�e dans le garage. Mon beau-fr're a verifi� plusieurs fois l��tat DE l�appareil genius sur la Jeep, jusqu'au mercredi 11 juillet dans l�Apr�s-midi, aucun signe DE d'anomalie constat� lors DE ces visites. Il n�est pas retourn� jusqu�au 17 juillet dans l�Apr�s-midi, moment o� IL a d�couvert la voiture compl�tement brul�e sur la partie avant moteur, capot jusqu'au pare-brise, mais tout �tait d�j� froid.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee hemi engine suffered from a faulty tappet roller on the mds lifter. Part failed at 89000 miles causing engine issue and the need for replacement. This appears to be a common problem with this engine going back to 2011. Jeep did nothing to rectify this problem.

When driving the vehicle every single thing turned on. Windsheild wipers, every light on the dash board light up like a christmas tree, engine started to rev up, the dash board was going up and down with the speed. Everything was going and it was strange.

Constant p06dd code. Code will show up daily after being cleared. Has been occurring on a regular basis for 2 months plus. Dealership has no help in fixing the issue.

The tipm failed on the vehicle while driving down the road bringing the vehicle to a sudden stop. All functions in the car were halted. This resulted in stranding my teenage daughter in the middle of a busy road in a very dangerous situation. After being towed to the dealership they informed me that it would cost me $1349. 36 to replace the faulty tipm. Numerous research into this problem reveals many similar problems with the tipm from Jeep which could likely to result in serious safety related problems not to mention very costly repairs. This problem should be addressed further.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17e061000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the part to do the recall was unavailable. The contact called the local dealer who stated the parts were not available. The contact stated the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

As the vehicle is parked, it does not matter for 5 minutes or 5 hours, when the start button is depressed the engine turns over, but does not start. When attempted a second time, it will turn over continusly for 20 seconds, and fail to start. The problem my persist for many attemps, or may rectify its self and start.

June 2017 heardnoise loud ticking, lifters, cam shaft, and rocker arm (gone bad)internal failure. December 2018 same problem noise, loud ticking in motor. Hear while not moving and hear while moving.

Nhtsa recall #17v-435. Alternator needs checked to make sure no failed diodes. I received a recall notice 6 months ago or so and I keep getting told there are no parts available. How is this possible considering per the recall, it could cause a fire?.

Check light continuously comes on even after being cleared and the Jeep technician told me that it faulty sensor. The oil pressure sensor which is a $30-40 but would cost over $550 to repair it. The technician even said this a problem that happens all the time. This is very concerning to me and my family because we have had already 5 serious recalls plus a software update. This vehicle isn't safe and consumers are forking the bill to pay for these poorly built Jeep vehicles. I also see more recalls are coming in the future and how is the NHTSA protecting us consumers from these car companies who make and build poor vehicles. This vehicle randomly vibrates violently and sometimes doesn't shift properly into gear.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at 20 mph, the vehicle started to smoke from the underneath the hood and the inside of the vehicle was quickly filled with smoke. The contact stated that there was no warning. The vehicle lost all power and shut down completely and was left at the intersection. The contact stated that the smoke subsided and the vehicle was towed by a tow truck to the contact's residence. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer where the vehicle failed to be inspected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and told the dealer not to touch the vehicle until a Jeep specialist investigated the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was left at the dealer's but no one contacted him. The failure mileage was 80,000.

I am afraid to drive my vehicle. The first issue happened a few months ago, the car refused to start and had to be towed to the dealership to get fixed. There was an electrical fault, and could have happened at any point. Currently the vehicle has been at the dealership since November 10th. The vehicle hesitates before moving forward when I step on the gas, then something engages and it jumps forward. Sometimes it comes to a stop before it rapidly accelerates. The Jeep has been at atlantic Jeep for almost four weeks and the dealer has not been forthcoming in explaining what is going on. They can't seem to figure it out themselves and I am in fear of driving this car in the future if the same problems occur. There seems to be a big risk of having a crash with the issues described above. This happened on highways, streets, slow or fast didn't seem to have an affect. This has been a major issue, and is very scary for me as a driver.

The first incident happened at the end of April. While driving, after crossing a busy street, I suddenly lost power and engine response. After having it towed to the nearest repair shop, I had to have the fuel pump and sender replaced. This is when I was made aware there is a fuel kit relay recall. Now, barely 4 weeks later, this exact same thing has happened again. With apparently no remedy to the recall yet, I am now left paying for the same exact repairs I just had done less than 150 miles ago. This time it happened after crossing into another state, about 45 minutes from home. The time, cost and hassle of all this has been completely unacceptable. Luckily, I was able to get out of the way of major traffic. . . Luckily!.

Driving to work in stop and go traffic. Vehicle started to sound extremely loud and acceleration was sluggish. Traffic opened up and from 20 mph increasing to 51 mph noticed (and heard) the rpm was at 6. Continued to drive and the rpm neared 7 (the red zone) as I continued to accelerate. Put on the hazards, pulled to the shoulder and turned the vehicle off. Sat for about 2 minutes and restarted. Everything returned to normal and made it to work without further incident. It seems that the vehicle was stuck in first or second gear.

After driving to work 29 miles while waiting for day shift to get out so I can get a parking spot while in park with the engine running for around 15 minutes I then put it in drive with my foot pressed very hard on the break pedal the engine revs up to a very high rpms and my Jeep moves forward even though I have all my pressure on the brake and I am a male at 210 pounds. This has happened over a dozen times since I have owned this vehicle. I bought this vehicle brand new and the dealer I bought it from says they can not find anything wrong. It is going back to the dealer Monday 2/23/2015 again for this problem and to replace a shock. The last time they said all they could find was that the trany fluid was low not shure what that has to do with my problem. Anyway I really love my Jeep however this is a very dangers problem. I work at Chrysler second shift and when day shift lets out there are over 100 workers leaving and if my foot was not pressed firmly on the brake I could have hit one of them. I have the 5. 7 hemmi engine and personally I think it is a computer issue however I am not a mechanic so like I say that's just my personal thinking. The vehicle mileage I gave you is a close guess I am not able to get the exact mileage at the time I am sending this to you. Should be give or take around 100 miles. I can go a month or what ever with no problem then bam it happens. My phone number is (510) 378-3278 feel free to call me if you have any questions. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that he received a second recall notification. The dealer stated that the heat shield needed to be repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The NHTSA campaign numbers listed in the first and second recall notifications were unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure.

In general, the car would not start when brake was pressed and the start button was pushed. This happened six times. First four times the engine would just turn over but not start. Last two times, the engine started for about two to three seconds then died. Attempting to start it again resulted in the engine turning over but not starting. During all of the six attempts the engine only started and stayed running after three or four attempts. When I've taken the vehicle to the dealer I was told that there may be a bad win module, which was supposedly replaced. When asked about the tipm I was told that they have to begin diagnosis starting with other parts.

In about one of every thirty starts, the engine dies quickly even though the dash still says "run". I have taken it to the Jeep dealer about 4 times, but they have no fix & I am afraid it will happen while the Jeep is moving.

While parking in a parking lot with my foot on the brake pedal, the engine rpm's surged and I had to apply extremely hard force on the brake pedal and shift into neutral to stop after traveling 10 to 15 feet. This happened again and I took the Jeep to yark service in toledo OH. They ran a diagnosis and could not find any codes. My wife took the Jeep and while parking had the same problem. Before she could stop the vehicle ran into a post and sustained damage. I called Jeep customer service and reported it as a safety problem on Aug 31. I was told to take it back to the service dept. They said nothing could be done at that time. I took it back the next week and the service manager was not available.

Lost all power while driving on highway on Friday of memorial day weekend. Lost brakes and steering too. Luckily was able to coast to a stop on the shoulder. Tried to restart multiple times, and starter just whirred over and over and over. I couldn't even do anything to stop it from attempting to start. It would ultimately give up. Roadside assistance sent a tow. The next day at the dealership it started, but it's still there for the long holiday weekend. Luckily I wasn't towing my travel trailer. I'm afraid to drive it as I've read of many instances similar to this reoccurring many times.

When pulling away from a stop light, the engine started revving very quickly (tachometer registered approx. 5 rpms) but the vehicle had absolutely no acceleration or speed. No engine light came on, no warnings were evident. I pulled into the parking lot @ work traveling at approx. 20mph despite hearing the engine revving very loudly. When I lifted my foot off the accelerator, the speed decreased unusually fast. The dealer was able to fit me in that afternoon. The problem did not occur 8 hrs later on the way to the dealer. Service department stated "we drove the car for several miles, hooked it up to the computer. There were no "codes" and we could not replicate the problem. " the service guy suggested I bring it back if it happens again. I take the xway to work and back so it will totally suck if it happens again.

My problem has persisted since I purchased the vehicle in November of 2012. I hit the ignition switch and the car starts and then dies. I try to hit the button again and it just cranks and cranks and won't start. The only way to get it to turn on is to cycle on and off the ignition switch and try it again. I brought it into the dealership and they said unless they can recreate the issue they can't identify the problem, and also claimed they did research and couldn't come up with any similar complaints and sent me home. I did about five minutes worth of online research and found the tipm issue along with countless complains about ignition switch issues. I called the dealership and reported my findings. They were familiar with the tipm issue, but said they can't just replace a part unless it can be proved that is the issue.
