We have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ecodiesel 3. 0 which is part of the overall class action lawsuit with the epa and carb. We went through the process, received the software update & remuneration for the loss in value on the vehicle from fca. Fca clearly indicated in its literature regarding the settlement that the performance, mileage, adblue/bluedef usage, etc. Would not be affected (see attached information showing the emissions software update) however, our experience has been quite the opposite as I understand is common place after the upgrade. Fca did not adequately represent the major performance changes that were to be expected by the emissions software update & downplayed any issues. The main issues that we have encountered since the update include: 1. The check engine light coming on 3-4 times; 2. A major and dangerous hesitation/lag of the vehicle when you start it & attempt to accelerate-especially when the vehicle has been sitting for a period of time. 3. A highway mileage decrease from an average of 27-28mpg to 19-21mpg; 4. Significant increase in the use of blue-def; we have had to take the Jeep in for service to check the check engine light several times & it is again in the shop yesterday/today for the same issues. At this point, we believe that fca did not correctly represent & repair the ecodiesel 3. 0 engine in our Jeep Grand Cherokee & as a result of the upgrade, our performance has greatly diminished and we have suffered with a non-performing vehicle. We ask that NHTSA lodge a formal complaint on our behalf and be made aware of the continued issues with the vehicles & the misrepresentation of the performance issues.
Every day I crank up my Jeep I give it 5-10 mins before I move it because it has this shake or vibration to it really bad it stops and then once I have exceeded 45-55 mph and start to come to a stop it shakes the entire front end. Now if I'm below 45 it don't really do it as often! when I turn or hit a bump in the road the front end rattled or vibrating from it! some days when I'm trying to make a u turn it seems as if it's having a hard time turning! check engine light constantly on and off! had it checked nothing is coming up indicating a misfire or anything! the gas mileage sucks! get a full tune up and it will run better spending all my money and it's still a piece of crap!.

P0032 code came up went for check engine light. Went to get it looked at. Tech then told me that it was a miss drill of the heads causing the misfire to happen. The tech then also stated it was a known mopar issue in Jeep Grand Cherokee line.
The check engine light keeps coming on it has to do with the emissions control the vehicle does not run properly. It has been in the shop 3 times going on number 4 for the same exact problem. I was told that it falls under the lemon law because the emissions control system is defective in that vehicle. My wife was driving the vehicle with our three month old grandchild and the vehicle would not accelerate would not move at all in traffic on a busy highway with vehicles passing by her at 45 to 50 miles an hour.
The vehicle's gauges will turn off while driving randomly. The speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge will all zero out for unspecified amounts of time. Sometimes 10 seconds, other times until the vehicle is started back up. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion. Sometimes it causes the car to completely shut off and come back on. While shut off, the car sounds like it is struggling to continue its forward progress. This happens every couple thousand miles (2-3 months apart). Once the car corrects itself, the check engine light appears. After starting the car 2-3 times, the misfire corrects itself and the check engine light turns off.

Heard ticking coming from engine shortly after routine oil change. Brought the car in, and was told I had to have intake & exhaust camshaft & lifters replaced. Had repaired, a week later check engine light came on. Got a p0456 code, brought it in and at this point they said I needed to replace evaporative purge valve. Did that, a week later, check engine light is on again. Nothing changed in the car when the light goes on, it just come on and stays a solid yellow upon startup.
On several occasions the Grand Cherokee has suddenly shut off while driving. The vehicle loses all power, loses power steering and brakes causing an extremely dangerous situation. Dash lights all go out. Upon restart, check engine light stays on but vehicle functions again.
Jeep sent a recall notice without having a solution on hand. It has been 10 months since the recall. Fuel pump relay failure can cause major accidents. My vehicle has had check engine light spontaneously come on. I took it to Jeep dealership for a fix and they refuse to do anything about it. I have a small child in the SUV most of the time and I am concerned for the safety of the child. Jeep is not willing to work with me on a solution to either fix the vehicle or supply a temporary replacement until my vehicle is fixed. Please help!.
My check engine light came on and upon running a diagnostic there is a problem with the left cylinder head valve and it needs to be replaced. I tried to order the part from Jeep and get the car repaired at my local mechanic. My warranty had ended 5 months prior and my car had 105,000 miles so I had to pay to get this fixed. Jeep could not provide the part because they were out of stock. They had been out of stock for four months and put me on a waiting list of 6-8 months. They also advised not to drive the car due to the severity of the issue. They also informed me that this is a nationwide epidemic and the specific part needed is on back order for over 4,000 people. They sympathized with the strain this puts on their customers but we have no option but to wait for the part to be available. This issue has not yet been resolved as a recall. I am at a loss because I cannot use the car, yet I need to have transportation to work, at the least. I have yet to come to a reasonable solution of what to do for the next 6-8 months without an operable car. Financially this is a huge setback and Jeep is not taking responsibility for this issue. Aside from the extreme inconvenience, this is also a very expensive repair that should not land in the hands of over 4,000 Jeep customers, but the company who is responsible for providing and maintaining safe vehicles. This is not only an issue for 2014 Jeep but it has been documented starting with 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokees.
I previously reported that this 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (3. 6 pentastar engine) stalls without warning. The vehicle has stalled at least twice in August, numerous times in September, and already twice this month (October). What is more concerning is there is no check engine light the warns of the pending stall condition. Also, I have had the thermostat, lifters, tappets, rocker arms, cylinder head, spark plugs, and ignition coils replaced and problem seems to be getting worse. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons tysons corner). The dealer cannot read any active or stored codes for the stalling issue. Additionally, the shop foreman advised that it appeared to be the fuel pump. I ordered the $540. 00 fuel pump and had replaced on Monday October 7, 2019 for an additional $630. 00. Ironically enough, the vehicle stalled going home and the fuel pump repair did not fix the issue. The mechanic and service advisor now say that I should replace the pcm and then the tipum if all else fails. This is an additional $3,000. 00 in estimated service that they cannot guarantee that will fix the issue. The most concerning thing is that Chrysler will not be held accountable for this. I have also filed a complaint with fca, whom initially just closed the case. I then filed another one today and requested to speak with a case manager, which is pending (no faith at this point). It should also be noted that fca is aware of this issue as addressed in the recall: Chrysler is recalling 188,723 2011 Dodge durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee suvs in the u. S. Because of a defective fuel-pump relay inside the power module that can cause the vehicles to "stall without warning. ".
While driving on the highway, it began beeping the check engine light came on and the vehicle shut off. I tried turning turning the vehicle off and back on, but as soon as I put it into drive the check engine light came back on and the car started beeping again. From speaking with fellow Jeep owners (all different models) this problem seems pretty common and unsafe. The car only has 5700 miles on it. Totally unexpected when spending so much money on a brand new car.

I had to coast into my driveway. It doesn't start at all. It had an oil change and fluids in Jeep. It did it without warning.

Out of nowhere, my 2015 Jeep gc decelerated, all the lights on the dash came on and the following messages popped auto park disabled, service electronic throttle control, and ended with service shifter. The truck would not accelerate in the middle of a highway. I took the vehicle to the dealer where they cannot seem to find the problem. The windshield wipers turned themselves on along with the check engine light and the hazards.
I am a military service member serving in europe. I brought my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee with me to europe in 2018. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained according to manufacture specifications. Earlier this year (2019) with approximately 98k miles on the odometer and while cruising on a german highway at approximately 85mph, the check engine light came on and the car suddenly and rapidly lost power. I coordinated for towing of the vehicle to the nearest Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge repair shop. The vehicle has now been in the repair shop for almost four months and the logistical and technical network available in this medium sized german city has proven unable, at least up until this point, to successfully repair the vehicle. The diagnosis was complete valve train failure. I'm sharing the details of the event and the location for three purposes. 1. The sudden loss of power could prove dangerous no matter where it occurs 2. Service members serving overseas should be aware that the fiat Chrysler network in europe is not adequately prepared to address other than routine maintenance for u. S, specification vehicles and you could easily find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation if you bring your u. S. Specification Jeep with you overseas. 3. Even though the vehicle was past it's warranty based on mileage; complete valve train failure of a meticulously maintained 2017 Jeep with less than 100k miles is more likely than not a manufacturing and or engineering defect versus anything that could be considered normal wear and tear.
Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the engine stalled. The contact also stated she smelled an abnormal smell in the vehicle. The contact stated smoke was seen from the front passenger tire, and the rear driver side tire. The contact stated the brakes ceased on the vehicle. The brakes ceased July 2019.

The check engine light did illuminated in addition to the ecm and pcm light. The dealership was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure was 82,037. Bh.
The fuel pump relay is defective. This has already been recalled but the patch "fix" Jeep does does not solve the problem completely and they know this. There is an issue with the computer which does not send correct signal to fuel pump. On start car will not start often because it is not receiving any fuel. I am afraid this cheap "fix" Jeep came up with will cause the fuel to go out while driving. The biggest defect with the car is the v-8 hemi cam shaft and lifters. Every mechanic I have taken my car too has said that Jeep knows it is a problem but will not fix. I was driving 70 mph when my Jeep lost power and the check engine light came on and started flashing which with the loss of power cause me to just about have a wreck on the highway. It was a very scary scenario. I took it to my trusted mechanic who foudn a cylinder 2 misfire & performed a tune up and he said I needed to report the problem to Jeep as they are known to have sever problems. The dealer charged me to "diganose" the problem and reported back that the lifters and cam shaft need to be replaced. This has been such a bad problem for Jeep the lifters have been on back order multiple times but they will not admit it is a problem. My car has less than 100,000 miles and has been meticulously maintained and now lookin g at rebuilding an engine and Jeep will only provide 2 year warranty or the work, which shows they have no trust in the fix and there is a fatal flaw with the v-8 hemi. Please force Jeep to honor their customers and correct the known mistakes with their engines.
Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving at low speeds the vehicle loss power. The check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where informed there was a faulty wire. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted but did not assist.

Our dealership completed epa and carb emissions recall v08 for 3. 0l diesel emissions on 20 may 2019. Mileage out was 63,819. 200 miles later, we started the vehicle as normal. Less than a mile later, as we started to accelerate onto the highway, the check engine light came on and our vehicle's information center displayed two separate diesel exhaust fluid (def) related warnings. The first saying def needed service/contact the dealership, while the second warning said we could not restart the vehicle after driving another 200 miles. We immediately found a safe spot to pull over and called the dealership. The acting service manager advised us that it was safe to drive the vehicle to the dealership as long as there were no obvious performance issues. He said it was probably emission related, that we would be ok if we didn't drive over 200 miles. He said going over 200 miles might abruptly put the vehicle into a "limp mode"! we were 150 miles away from the dealership but the vehicle was otherwise operating normally, so we took the service manager's advice and drove to the dealership. Our Jeep is an off-road, trail-rated, go anywhere vehicle designed to be used out in the wilderness/national parks as well as on the highway. It is an unacceptable safety hazard for the vehicle's computer to have control over starting because of an emission violation/problem. Especially when in a remote location where a reliable vehicle is paramount to safety. Moreover, there is significant potential for a serious crash if the vehicle abruptly goes into a "limp mode" either out on the highway or at a stop light. To date, our dealership has not found a solution to the check engine light nor the def warnings. They are keeping our vehicle and working with fiat/Chrysler automotive (fca) representatives and engineers on a solution.
My check engine light came on. I brought it to my Jeep dealer. They found code p0302 and said the left engine head had to be replaced as well as #2 fuel injector. I had just over 50000 mi. The head was covered under warranty,the fuel injector cost me 415$. Jeep should have covered this cost. Jeep reimbursement department denied me reimbursement. What can be done to recover my cost?.
Emission check engine light for small evaporation emission system leak p0456 fault code. Also, fuel tank wont fill with fuel at higher nozzle flow rates. . . Possibly due to tank check valve. The check engine light will disqualify the emission test for the vehicle and prevent obtaining a licence plate renewal. The check valve will only allow a slow fill using a manual grasp of the nozzle lever to restrict the flow to the smallest amount possible. This appears to be a common problem and needs a recall the refill is of course, is done in park, at a gas station. The check engine light occurs at startup.

Vehicle has randomly shut down completely while driving. Loss of power, power steering and brakes. Very dangerous. Took to dealer and left for a week for them to test and replicate and repair. They said they were unable to. This has happened 3 times. Each time, so far, I have been able to coast to a stop out of traffic, but I fear that it may happen in a less fortunate setting. It happened again today, just driving straight ahead down the road. Check engine light comes on and a red lighting bolt light also comes on over on the right side of the instrument panel.
