Fuses And Circuit Breaker Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

The engine stops running without warning or notice. Not even a check engine light. The Jeep stalls without any electrical symptoms but the steering, engine, and braking systems fail. Only happens when decelerating. Doesn't happen every deceleration. I've been lucky to have been going in a straight line toward a stop. Normally under a half tank of gas but even that is not reliable. If you search the internet for "Jeep Grand Cherokee engine shuts down while driving" you'll find a pretty robust collection of stories where consumers like me unwittingly paid many thousands of dollars for a car that is trying to kill them. You're answer to the tipm recall (the fuel pump circuit breaker? the first half-ass attempt by crysler to troubleshoot this nightmare) says "the factual bases of the petitioner's contentions that any further investigation is necessary are unsupported" which I found hilarious since I am still making payments on a vehicle with an obvious manufacture's defect that the entire internet cannot find a standard solution to other than to sell the vehicle off to another unsuspecting victim.

Oct 7, 2014: NHTSA 14v-391 or fca p36 safety recall repair was done at a local Chrysler Jeep dealership. Apr 30, 2015: vehicle taken to same dealership to check a buzzing sound in the rh sun visor area, service technician could not duplicate the customer complaint. May 19, 2015: sudden acrid smoke odor detected while driving, pulled to curb and turned off motor. Some smoke inhalation but no burn injuries to driver. Noticed black and white melted areas on rh sun visor, rh vanity mirror and rh headliner. External roof area above the rh sun visor had approximate 3" crack and the paint was split open from the extreme heat, digital photos taken. On Jun 30, 2015, we learned the "the source of the fire was not related to the p36 repair, but was for another cause". On Jul 10, 2015, we learned the p36 repair plastic shroud was intact and the cause of the fire was found in the wiring harness above the sun visor in the headliner area. Chrysler Jeep denied our warranty repair request on Jul 24, 2015, because the source of the fire could not be traced back to a factory defect in materials or workmanship. On Jul 27, 2015, our local Chrysler Jeep dealer decided to repair our vehicle, at their cost, because we were valued customers, but the decision came the same day a letter was read by the dealership general manager that said we may pursue a remedy using the California lemon law. We found there were more than 91 other similar incidents in 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge durango vehicles, and at least 8 more experienced fires after the p36 safety recall repair had been completed. We encourage NHTSA to have fca install circuit breakers in vanity lamp wiring harnesses for 2011-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge durango vehicles. Our vehicle repair was completed after 13 weeks, on Aug 18, 2015.

My 2000 grand Jeep cherokee larado has a problem with the electrial system. All the dash lites are on and the speedometer dosnt work. It has been at a Jeep dealershjp for almost a month. They cant figure out whats wrong with it. They first replaced a computer modular and I picked it up and the next day I still had the same problems. I took it back and they replaced the samething and told me it was fixed and it happened again after paying out 980. 00. I took it back a third time and the company told them to change the ground wires and that didnt fix the problem. They are out of ideas. The right tale lite keeps going out also. So they just put a new one in. This will not fix the problem as we have changed lite bulb several times. The rear windows will no longer work also. They said they changed the fuse and fixed the problem but it wasnt fixed. This could lead to a ticket for not going the speed limit or accident from speeding, also a rear end crash as the tail lite goes off when you apply the brakes.

The vehicle exhibits a sag/hesitation following a partial cool down restart, possibly an oxygen sensor problem. While making hard left turns at slow speeds (such as a u-turn), the airbag warning light illuminates and a audible chime is activated. The right side brake light assembly is burnt (internally) due to some kind of electrical overheating. The vehicle shifts hard, misses shifts, shifts repeatedly at constant speed and on a level grade. The rear differantial "bumps" very hard within 3-20 seconds of coming to a complete stop. An immovable "fog" has developed on the lenses of the composite headlight assemblies.
