general problems of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

- the core component that failed is the totally integrated power module (tipm). The failure was initiated by a fault in the external fuel pump relay (v62 safety recall remedy part), which caused improper power delivery. This improper power delivery subsequently damaged the fuel pump motor, requiring replacement of both components. This failure has cascaded, also disabling the circuits for the engine cooling fan (codes p0480/p0693) and exterior lighting (headlights/b1630), and the horn. I am in possession of the burnt-out fuel pump relay/fuse component. -the engine stalled while the vehicle was operating, the exact hazard the v62 recall was meant to prevent. This was followed by a catastrophic tipm breakdown, creating new, simultaneous safety risks: overheating/fire risk: the cooling fan circuit failed (p0480/p0693), causing severe engine overheating. No headlights: the headlights failed (b1630), causing total loss of visibility at night. No horn: the horn failed, eliminating the ability to warn other drivers. - yes. The initial engine stall and subsequent no-start condition (due to a blown relay fuse) were confirmed by an independent service center (monro). The cascading failures (overheating, horn, lights) and the diagnostic codes (p0480, p0693, b1630, c2201-00) were confirmed on 11/1. - the vehicle was inspected by an independent service center (monro), who returned the failed recall component to me (relay). Recommend it go to a certified Jeep dealership. It is waiting to be towed there. -the first warning was a history of intermittent starting difficulty. On 10/23, the engine stalled while operating and immediately resulted in a no-start condition. The check engine light illuminated after the subsequent failed restart attempts.

My sunroof will not open at all also my sunroof certain will not close many Jeep owners I talk to say it a serious problem with Jeep manufacturers I just bought this 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 months ago.

Ok July 14th 1:30 pm we got into car to go to lunch started driving and smoke started coming from the headliner and smelled like burning plastic on driver side near visor, smoke filled the car we were able to roll down windows and able to stop the car. The area continued to emit smoke and area on headliner felt hot. After turing the car off the smoke/ fire continued and had to locate the battery under passenger seat to disconnect power. Extremely stressful and scary situation as we have grandchildren and an elderly mother that we care for. I called Chrysler on 7/16/2024 spoke with kayla she gave me a case number and informed me I would receive a phone call. I never got a call, so I called today 7/22/24 spoke with ash she informed me this is not under warranty and my call was sent to a survey . I called back spoke with druba she told me I can expect a call within 24-48 hours .

My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee caught fire due to a faulty vanity visor mirror wiring that has a recall and was repaired per recall prior to the fire. I was able to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. My car has had the recall performed and was in to two different dealerships this year for recall service. Had I not been in a parking structure, I wouldn't have had access to a fire extinguisher and the car certainly would have burnt to the ground. I was entering a parking structure at the time of incident (driving). Recall number:15v-879.

I have only owned this vehicle for two months. Left front daytime running light went out. Have had intermittent problems with the right rear directional going out. Bulbs are good. Not sure of source of problem. We have taken the assembly out and directional works. After putting it back in, it does not work. Also happened after a car wash; not sure if that is really the problem though- we live in az and hardly ever get rain. Currently, I do not have use of the directional in the rear.

On October 15, 2014 I took my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee to moore auto group 8590 west bell road peoria, az to address recall (p36 sun visor wiring). The recall states; the sun visor vanity lamp wiring on your vehicle may experience a high resistance short after a service repair to the sun visor, headliner or while gaining access above the headliner. This may result in an inoperative vanity lamp and increase risk of fire. On February 4, 2015 while parked, engine not running, locked and unoccupied, in a grocery store parking lot, the car erupted in flames. The source of ignition was a short in the wiring above the headliner at the passenger side sun visor. I believe that in the interest of safety, any and all owners of vehicles that had this recall maintenance performed at moore auto group be advised to return for reinspection.

I have gotten two safety recalls from Jeep. The first one is p14/NHTSA 14v-154 ( brake booster may prematurely corrode) and the second is p36/NHTSA 14v-391 ( sun visor vanity lamp may experience high resistance short). I have called several dealerships to try to get my car in for them to check and have either been told they don't have the part or are "too busy to service my car". I was even told at helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep and ram in houston (713)533-6100 that they couldn't service my car because they were too busy and under staffed and then the man said " I don't mean to be rude, but it's true". My service engine soon light also came on at one point and they said they couldn't take my car in. I am very frustrated with Jeep's costumer service. I also called the dealership I bought my car from (auto nation) Chrysler Jeep and Dodge in spring, texas three times and never received a phone call back after leaving three messages with the service operator. I was told to file a compliant on this website if the recalls were not taken care of within a reasonable time. Thank you for your time.

My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee is unsafe to drive above approximately 50 mph due to the headlamps. I have been to the dealer twice to have them adjusted. The dealer made adjustments according to Jeep criteria; however, when driving in a dark area it is impossible to see more than approximately 30 feet in front of the vehicle. According to Chrysler this is acceptable. I disagree and feel that this makes driving at highway speeds unsafe.

2013 Jeep cherokee laredo. The speedometer and tachometer needles are dark red against a dark slate/black background. Very difficult to see under nighttime conditions and when sun shines into car from the rear. This is added to the fact that the instruments are on the sides of the instrument cluster and that the steering wheel is small. Can't get a full look at these instruments with both eyes at the same time . . . . I. E. Seriously impacted binocular vision means that it is even more important the needles be of a contrasting color to the background. Especially since many males are at least partially red-green color blind. The safety considerations include that it takes longer to read the speedometer under man y different light conditions [even without color vision deficiencies] , which means that the eyes are off the road longer and that speeding may be a more common and inadvertent result of it being harder to read the gauges.
