47 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

Check engine light would come on intermittently the last 5 months. Took to the dealership and auto zone for a code reader a few times and they were unable to pinpoint the exact problem because the engine light would disappear or multiple codes would appear. The vehicle would at times seem to lose power especially going up hill whether it was on a city street or highway. I finally was able to get a true diagnostic test done on 6/15/19 when the engine light was still showing on my dashboard. They code reader gave p0128 so I ended up having to get my thermostat gauge replaced and total repairs with diagnostic were $309. 15. I found it frustrating and unsafe that for 5 months the engine light would intermittently appear. After a trip out of town and drove a total of close to 1200 miles, the light stayed on. At this point, it is when I decided to take it in to the dealership before the engine light disappeared. I also noticed that the seatbelt warning light would not always alert if a passenger did not have theirs on. I tried to go back and select the seatbelt problem selection, but it would not allow me to.

50 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 05/24/2019

Dashboard lights and alarms simultaneously blink on and off. Seems to be a short circuit in the wiring. Gas tank levels off at "empty", and the fuel gauge spins 180 degrees so that it is caught under the "resting stick" at 0, therefore, no longer reading the gauge. This happens while in motion and while parked.

53 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 04/08/2019

The vehicle is brand new and a few months after purchasing it the vehicle would shut down electrically (twice while driving) and the steering wheel and brakes would lock up. Since purchasing the vehicle in November of 2017 I have had 4 to 5 separate occasions where the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership in Jeep/Chrysler in libertyville, illinois. I made verbal complaints after the second and third time. I was told after the last issue the problem was resolved and no more issues would occur, about 10 months later the issue has occured once again for a fourth time. I have son that I pick up on the weekends which requires me to drive on the highway. My fear is that the electrical will go out and my son will be hurt in a car accident due to the steering and brakes locking and no way to stop the vehicle safely. The occasion where is was driving the vehicle starting going haywire, the dash lights were flickering and different signs were coming on and the brakes became very hard to press until I couldnt any longer and the steering became really hard to move until it eventually locked as well. On 9 April 2019, the last of the few issues that has happened to this vehicle it was stationary and it wouldnt start and the electrical started acting up with the dashboard giving me the same messages from the last few times that the situation had occurred.

60 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 01/28/2019

I have reported a problem on January 7, 2019 about the vehicle lcd display failed to light up when I starting my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee in some occasion. And later have identified some more problems. The gps no longer works, it is turning around at an irrelevant position when I am driving on the road, and the display frequently pups up a warning of �vehicle phone requires service, please contact your dealer. � as the attached photo. With an appointment, I bring back my car to the dealer this morning (1/28/2019), it doesn't been fixed at the end of the day, nor does it been able to return to the state before callback service, not event been able to rollback to the state as I hand over it in the morning. The uconnect system no longer exist on my vehicle , and could not reinstalled without radio system hardware being replaced with a new one, for which I need to pay $890. 37 as I been informed officially during the service. I am very frustrated, as my car was very lightly used (only 33kmiles) and does not have any problems before the recall service, and got three uconnect issues just after the recall service, and then in the attempt to fixing these tree issues in the service department of the dealer, the control device was physically destroyed even the uconnect system no longer been able to reinstalled . I am not the person that irrationally denying the wear and tear of vehicle hardware, but what the hell of the purpose of the recall service? and why should I responsible for all the consequence of the recall service that never exist before?.

62 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 01/13/2019

Grand cherokee recall Jeep failed to make us aware of an alternator recall. My husband broke down on the side of the road (nearly killed mind you. ) we had our car towed to our mechanic. Mechanic fixed the vehicle, and mentioned to us that the part had actually been recalled, again this was the first that we were made aware of this. We contacted Jeep and put in a claim. Jeep, five months later, told us that we are only eligible for half of what we spent on the repair, because our mechanic was only 1. 6 miles away from a Jeep dealer. Why would I go to a Jeep dealer to pay a premium not knowing the issue was actually because Jeeps neglect to inform us of the recall? half the reimbursement, does not even cover the cost for the tow.

I have put my Jeep Grand Cherokee for a recall service (mfgr campaign#: cdjr s27, cdjr u65) recently, in which I been told by the service person that only software ware been updated for this recall service. Since then, the lcd display screen will not start to light up in some occasion when I turn on my car, the screen does not response for any touch at this movement, and it eventually light up after 3-5minutes and turns up the display to the normal. This problem happens every other days, and makes me very hesitate to backup my car whenever it happens, as I get used of the backup camera on the car. The problem never exist before the recent recall service. In the normal way, the screen shows the booting up display whenever I starts up my car, but now, for some occasion, the screen keeps in dead for 3-5 minutes after the engine has been start up.

68 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 11/02/2018

The vehicle would not start. It has a push button ignition switch start. It locked up and it could not be towed because the tow truck driver could not get it in natural to move it. I was stranded for 12 hours with nothing to eat or drink before I got help. All electrical systems shut down and I was alone in a very bad area at the time. Unless the vehicle started it would do nothing and could not be towed. Jeep needs a recall on this very unsafe system. They should be made put in an override switch or be able to start the vehicle with a key. I am 76 years old and I was going to start on a 500 mile trip that day. Very good thing it happen when it did. The vehicle would have been dead along the road with no help. All push button starts need a backup to get out of this safety hazard. I unlocked the door get in and pushed the start button and nothing. All kind of lights lit up on the instrument panel and displayed a lot of things that would not work. The transmission would not go in or out of gear.
