general problems of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Was inspected @ my local garage. The tipm goes out and you lose turn signals, wipers, transfer case control ( locks in low gear) causes airbag light to go on. And Chrysler does not manufacture them anymore. Jeep had to be towed.

I was driving down a hill, came to a stop, and it died. I put the car in park, and turned it off and on. There were no messages on the dashboard. The car started, so I took a left turn and suddenly the car stopped moving. The rpm went up, but the car didn't drive. It kicked back and it finally started driving but with the car hesitating. I was in the middle of a very busy intersection. The car died 3 times yesterday, and today it died 2 times.

This is the second time I’ve replaced the rear end differential in this car. Seems to be a know issue among mechanics that Jeep’s are know to need this rare pair often.

The vehicle (2013 gc trailhawk ) engine stalls while driving. The electrical remains on but engine oil error comes on and I can feel there is missing as if engine is not getting enough fuel, there is no power when you accelerate and the engine stalls. My safety is put in risk because this happens while driving on the highway and normal streets. I have taken it to my Jeep dealer (john hughes, perth, australia ) and they too claimed to have never heard of this issue. Fuel pump relay was already repalced some time back. The issue continues and they claim they cannot figure out the problem. The engine will re-start after about 10 minutes powered off and drives fine until the next time it stalls, which has become more frequent. There is no warning when the engine will stall, it just stops running. This problem has been going on now for over six months for me with the stalling becoming more frequent. - perth, wa, austalia this has happened 5 times now in the last 6 months.

Had v62 recall done at the dealer. No problems for 14 months of ownership until after recall the so-called fix. Now the engine shuts off when going in reverse. Had 2nd dealer diagnostics done and still have a shutting off engine problem!.

The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective rocker arm. The manufacturer was contacted and the contact was informed that there was no recall on the vehicle. The contact was also informed to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer to be serviced. The contact spoke with firkins Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (2700 1st st, bradenton, FL 34208) and was provided a cost to diagnose and determine the cause of the failure. The contact declined the service.

On September 1, 2020 shortly after starting the vehicle and while in motion, the engine stopped causing loss of control of the vehicle. I was able to bring the vehicle to stop in roadway with hard pressure on brakes. Fortunately, no contact was made with person or property. I attempted to re-start the vehicle but it would only crank and not start. Several minutes later was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle has had trouble starting on many occasions prior but this was the first time it stopped while driving. The only indication the vehicle had lost power was when I attempted to slow the vehicle and turn the wheel. Prior to this the dealership has examined the issue on at least four separate occasions spanning years. I have been told the fuel pump relay has been replaced twice on this vehicle. After both of these alleged repairs the vehicle has exhibited the same symptoms and returned to the dealership. In the last visit with the dealership on June 23, 2020 and phone call with fca us llc's customer service on September 1, 2020 I was directly informed that no solution exists. There is no advanced notice to the driver as this does not occur each time the vehicle is driven. When the vehicle does lose power while driving, no noticeable indication of this danger can be quickly observed by the driver. It was only noticed when I attempted to maneuver the brakes or steering wheel. This is a known and hazardous condition created by fca us llc. Which they have not adequately addressed.

My vehicle left me stranded at a target store parking lot. My vehicle was on with the a/c running. The vent blowers stopped working and the vehicle shut off. It cranked but no start. I used my aaa membership to have the car towed. It was sent to the aaa mechanic. The fuel pump relay was no good. I know there was a recall on this relay but the dealer never had the part in stock. Which sounded bogus to me. The mechanic explained that there is a recall and I should get reimbursed. I sent in my completed the Chrysler reimbursement request form and submitted the shops receipt and the rental vehicle receipt. I was assigned case # 76491689. I paid $3004. 00 in cash for repairs. After I submitted my receipts they denied my claim for $1309. 00 that was related to the fuel pump relay repair. The mechanic also performed other repairs that he claims were as a result of the recall damaging the vehicle. I asked for another receipt stating specifically that I paid in cash and resubmitted it to the denied claim email. I am unemployed due to covid-19 and I spent my savings to fix my vehicle. The ramifications of this mess has affected my personal life and my mental health. For a moment I felt the the mechanic lied to me and I was contemplating to physical harm the mechanic. I already had several verbal disputes with the shop because they claim that the receipt they gave me is all they can provide. Yet it was deemed as insufficient proof of my cash payment. I reached out to news station for siaitance you resolve this matter.

This vehicle has a frequent acceleration problem. Started when trying to accelerate from an on ramp to the highway, especially when slowing to around 30 mph and accelerating to 55. Now it does to everything. Turning from a stop light into a highway I find my self having to floor it, causing it to rev to 4500 rpm's and still barely moving. Round abouts are a struggle as well, trying to turn out of one and speed up is horrible. Extremely unsafe when you have a child in your car and your trying to merge into traffic and your car won't move.

When in park. . . Pressing the start button the engine does not turn over. . . It clicks and stops on its own. I await minutes and then press the start button. . The engine starts. . . It happens every time I park for a couple of hours, and start up. I replaced a battery, but it still does it. I find myself stuck often, I done the research and have other colleagues whom have grand Jeep cherokees but year 2014. They were entitled to a recall for the same issues with their Jeep as mine. This happened November 17 2018 and November 22nd. . Once each afternoon.

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.

When putting in drive sometimes it does not go properly. Sounds funny like dragging or if in neutral. Must stop and reshfit out and back into gear. This is very scary . Need advice. Feels like loss of power when trying to accelerate. What do I do? happened a couple times a in June 2018.

After recently purchasing my Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013, I noticed issues I didn't have in regards to the power train and how it acted compared to my previous Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002. I frequently have instances at slow, medium and interstate speeds where the rpms jump from the steady 2,000 up to like 3,000 briefly, before quickly dropping back down. This results in and unexpected and sundown jolt/jerk. Even more so, I've been seeing more serious and related issues where it runs at 3,500/4,000 rpms while not accelerating. Seems slow and sluggish. Only a stop and restarting of the vehicle will fix this issue. Finally, this leads to the major issue, still related to the same trend of problems. I will have times when I'm accelerating or just cruising and I lose control of the vehicle. The rpms will spike drastically and unexpectedly from around 2,000 average to 6k-7k rpms. I lose all acceleration control when this happens. The few times this has happened the engine light will turn on. Naturally letting off the accelerator brings it back down slowly, but in these instances I'm on the road and moving with traffic. I lose all accelerator control and cannot accelerate with any effect. The engine revs sharply and loudly with no accelerating movement or response. Only option is to break. . Thanksfully those work. . And come to a stop where shutting the car on and off seems to be the only temporary fix. Upon turning it back on, the engine light will remain and typically does for a day or so and then turns off. Very dangerous and seems to be an ongoing, while unpredictable and infrequent, but not completely as this happens every week and a half or so,. . It sounds like a manufacturers defect that isn't being addresss through recalls, repairs or even when complaints are made. These issues need to be addressed as they pose a threat to not only my safety, but others as well.

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.

Alternator failed at 35118 mi. Had in repair twice for issues when driving. Loud whine, burning smell and smoke reported. First time dealer keep car for overnight and said they could find no issue even though they had smelled the burning smell too. Second time they told me it was my alternator. They replaced the alternator, I picked up the car, drove 2 miles and the battery light came on. I returned immediately and they kept the car for 3 more days. The failed alternator had "arced" to the power train, and then that had to be replace too (that under warranty thank goodness). But alternator was replaced for $1000 out of my pocket even though very low mileage because was over 3 yr warranty period. In researching how could this have happened so early, I found that the 160 alternators from the same period had been recalled, but the 180's are not (at least not yet. . . . I am hoping to help initiate another recall since I see online that others who have this model and year and 180 alternator have had same issues as me). I was encouraged by fca customer care to file a petition for reimbursement, and have just heard from them that they have declined it since my VIN isn't included in the recall. To be specific about the episodes, I was driving both times that this occurred. Both times I had just started to drive and the car made a loud whining noise that lasted for a bit, and increased on acceleration, and quickly I could smell something like burning rubber and see smoke. I was afraid the car was going to stop suddenly because it started to be jerky, and when I came to stop light it seemed like it was going to stall. But it kept going, and I drove straight to the dealer both times.

I have been trying for the last 45 days to have the drive train of my Jeep repaired under warranty. I have two recent emails to Jeep about my concerns and the safety of the vehicle as I am still using it. Jeep does not have the part, they don't know when they will be getting it and they are not responding to my email complaints. I was advised that there are 15 other dealers also needing this part and that the supplier has none to provide. My complaint is lack of any response as to the safety of the car or any time line when the car can be fixed. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I first took the car to Jeep on 9/26/2016.
