Battery Dead Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

Incident happened twice in one week. New vehicle, will not crank/start. Less than 60 miles. The /battery was dead, could not be jumped and had to be towed.

I bought a 2017 jgc limited 2 weeks ago. It has 31,500 miles. This weekend, the 'service shifter' warning came on, the engine would not start, the ignition stayed on and would not turn off though the engine wasn't running. The shifter lights flashed continuously, the warning screen flashed through several warnings continuously all night. The battery was dead the next morning. The back doors will not open, disallowing me access to the battery (under the passenger seat). The car would buck at intersections when I was driving it last week. The electronics are poorly engineered and tested. Reminds me of the english range rover. I don't know what to do now as the car is stuck on my driveway.

All lights began randomly flashing, wipers went on at varying speeds, power seats were moving, transmission was shifting gears inappropriately. When this started I was about 3 miles from home. The vehicle stalled three times and was harder to start after each stall. Upon arriving home and shutting the engine off, the lights continued to flash until the battery died. Fortunately, I was not on a busy highway when this occurred. This has been happening for thr past week now I called the dealership they keep telling me that are backup for this week. And now today my Jeep wont even turn on with a jumper cables, I called the dealership they finally said that they are sending a tow truck to my house.

Dashboard cluster, and tail lights flickers on and off while in locked or unlocked mode and with vehicle turned off, and stationary. With or without the fob key near, and the car does this until battery dies. It has been at the dealer 3 times, new battery still the same issue.

My 2013 Grand Cherokee has had the stalling issue since I bought it in Dec. 2016. In 2017 after replacing tipm & fuel-pump at our expense, vehicle continued to stall & neither Jeep nor the dealership would do anything other than change the part. We filed with ncds, & the arbitrator did not pursue the case & Chrysler responded that the vehicle was �operating as intended�. I have electronic copies of those documents. Since the official recall was issued, my car has been in the shop 3-4 times & continues to shut off multiple times daily or every other day. It failed & would not start Dec. 2019 so I took it in & got it back a week later. They claimed my battery was dead & would not hold charge. However, the day before it wouldn't start, I'd driven it back from dallas to lafayette, la w no stall. I'd also driven it around the morning it stopped working so I am not understanding that, but paid for the repairs & a couple weeks later, it failed again. It's my understanding the fuel pump has been replaced twice since my visit in December. I took it in on Jan. 20th for the stalling & got it back on the 21st in the afternoon. Less than 24 hrs later, it stalled again. I called the dealership all last week to report the daily stalls & went back in this past Monday, the 27th, after they did not return my calls to schedule an appointment. It stalled there in the dealership parking lot, & they got a tech to run the codes & it came back as the recall part. Then they ran specific diagnostics per fca's request & said they couldn't duplicate it. Since Monday, it has stalled twice so far today, on Wednesday. The car has stalled while idling with my foot on the brake, while driving it, and upon start it will immediately die after cranking up. The issue is intermittent & poses a huge safety risk for myself & others when it stalls in-operation.

Chrysler has a recall for my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the ignition switch p57/NHTSA 14v-567. The part is not available to repair my vehicle and they do not have an estimated or actual date this part will be in. Chrysler refuses to accommodate the customers with a loaner vehicle. Why is Chrysler not accountable for my car troubles after the recall (which I never received a recall notice)? the government fined Chrysler 70 million dollars and will fine additional monies if the vehicles are not repaired. Why am I suffering and not being accommodated with a working vehicle when the billion dollar industry (Chrysler) has a mishap? my experience: - when vehicle ignition is turned off it only goes ½ the way, the key fob sticks and will not exit. This causes the radio clock light and the gear shift panel to stay lit, which in turn drains the battery. (had to purchase a jump start kit $70. 00 + tax) for when the battery is dead. -since, the key will not exit the ignition I must leave my work area at least twice a day (sometimes more) to check, if the key fob will come out. Once it took 11 hours before key would exit, after running the engine for over 3 hours. I am in jeopardy of losing my livelihood if this issue continues for much longer. It has been going on for months. The recall started November, 2014. How long will I suffer, because I don’t have money to purchase a different vehicle and why does this always affect the most unfortunate individuals like me. -there is a 90% chance that my vehicle will be stolen (since key is left in the ignition). I work in durham, nc on the week-end; I pray that I will be able to get back to raleigh if this happens. I cry most nights in fear of losing my jobs. Please, help me!!!!!!.

Vehicle would not start. Completely dead. Vehicle was towed to dealer. Dealer said battery was bad. Replaced battery. Vehicle was ok for 3 days. Same problem occurred. This time dealer found vehicle was not getting proper voltage to transmission. Needed wiring harness replaced. Very expensive repair job. Lucky for me I have a "lifetime" warranty on power train. I am wondering if the transmission would stopped working if I was moving??? I talk to some with a 2007 model and the same thing happened.

Aug 21 2014. The interior dome light was left in the on position, which drained the car battery completely. Upon recharging the battery all of the lights in the drivers console where on, the electronic stability control light was on, the air bag light was on, the check engine light was on. Upon taking it to a Jeep dealership was informed that the VIN in the onboard computer had been corrupted as well as saying that the traction control and the airbags were not functional until this had been resolved. Dec 5 2013. The battery had gone bad and needed be replaced. Once a new battery was installed the exact same thing happened with the VIN in the onboard computer being corrupted.

My Jeep has experienced three electrical failures which have occurred approximately 6 months apart. For some unknown reason the battery died overnight each time. The second time it happened I purchase a new battery but six months later it drained too. I was able to successfully jump-start the vehicle after each incident. Transmission----I haven't been able to down-shift from drive to a lower gear. This problem began at about 46000 miles. I took it to a repair shop where they diagnosed the problem as defective shifter control. Before I had it repaired (est. $1000) it began functioning normally, that is, until today. I left a parking lot and merged into traffic. Fortunately traffic was light because I couldn't get the Jeep to go any faster than 28 mph. It seemed like the transmission was stuck in first. Also the engine light came on. This is a very serious situation that should not be ignored by the Chrysler corp. Or the national highway traffic safety adm. .

Numerous electrical issues. The most dangerous have been the prnd lighting up and vehicle not going over 1st or 2nd gear while driving. This has happened to me 7 times now, 4 of which have tried to be diagnosed by the dealer without success, they just replaced the gear shifter twice. The 3rd time I had taken a photo of this and gave it to the dealer when they told me 'nothing was wrong' according to their diagnostics. Photo proved otherwise. Also the vehicle has shut itself off twice while I was driving on a busy road. The windows also get stuck and will not work. Have to operate one window to make the other one work. The battery failed and 'transmission over temp" error happened at the same time. Manufacturer's service agent said it was a false readout due to battery failure but they did fix something on the transmission. I am filing for a second lemon law arbitration hearing in florida. It is a very dangerous vehicle with these issues. Incident date on this form is only the last date of occurrence since only one option. This has been a problem since first purchasing this 'new' vehicle.

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I've owned 2 years and have put 28,000 miles on it and my battery is dead. Not realizing what a pain it would be to get a new battery I thought OH well. Well upon contacting every auto place and multiple dealerships within a 25 mile radius I found out that no one carries this mopar/chrsyler battery. It has to be special ordered and to top it off it goes for between 120-150 and this is the only choice for this SUV. Per the dealerships the battery does come with a 72 month warranty at least. So I call Chrysler to see if they will prorate the battery being I've only the Jeep 2 years and it's only 3 years old. Well of course they say no. When you purchase one of their cars the battery is only warranted for 36 months or 36,000 miles but if I go buy the exact same battery now they will warranty it for 72 months. To me this does not sound accurate but they refuse to help in anyway. They said there is absolutely nothing they can do. I am not asking for something for free but I believe the battery should be prorated.

We bought an 04' Jeep Grand Cherokee at Jeep Chrysler Dodge of warwick, the service engine light kept coming on. We took it down for service and they said it was the gas cap. The light still came on and had a hard time starting. We traded it in at the same place 1 month later for an 06 Jeep with 15,000 miles on it. Shortly after this purchase the 4 wheel drive started making horrible noises. We took it for service and they said that it was supposed to make that noise. After that the battery died and they towed it there and replaced the battery. Now we have problems with the Jeep stalling out when we are parked or at an idle. The front passenger side door has came loose from the weld breaking. Now it is hitting the front quarter panel and is chipping paint. All four doors are coming away from the welds causing a safety hazard to all of the passengers. We brought it down for the dealer to look at the doors and they kept putting us of because they said they did not have a loner car, or that the manager was not there, or that there body shop was not available. Now they say that we never brought it down to show them. Every time we brought it to them they never put it in the shop and made excuses for all of the problems. They never put in there computer that we came to them, with these problems and deny that we had any. The one time when they replaced the battery we picked it up with almost 150 extra miles on it. We have been extremely unhappy with the dealers service and the quality of the vehicle itself.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Only 45,000 miles. Vehicle stalled when making turns and now stalls when operating at high speeds. Last time vehicle was traveling approximately 65 miles an hour and stalled. Usually the vehicle will start back up as soon as it is put in neutral and you turn the key. But on some occasions vehicle has had to sit for approximately 15 minutes before starting again. Vehicle has been towed to a dealership on 2 occasions and each time when it arrives and is checked by mechanics it starts up. Mechanics and computer checks revealed no problem at the dealership. People have said that is possibly a computer problem in the vehicle and the reason the dealers found nothing wrong is the computer resets itself each time the Jeep is restarted. Not sure but the dealerships cannot give me any advice on what to do to fix the problem. I cannot afford another vehicle and I am worried that vehicle stalling at high speeds is going to result in an accident. Please let me know if this is a problem you have found in other Jeeps and if you know a remedy. Jeep has also had electrical problems in the past such as two auto door locks going bad, air conditioner went bad, and the battery failed. Not sure if this is related somehow or not. Check of past owner records shows maintenance for check engine light at 21418 miles (2/19/01) and 33488 (2/28/02) and automatic transmission problems at 33488 miles.
