I took my Jeep to have fuel pump relay and alternator recalls serviced at napleton Jeep in kissimmee FL and the car broke down a few days after being serviced, had the car towed to the dealership where they charged me $189 to say it was the starter that was bad and quoted me $800, I felt put off and got the car towed to a diff private owned shop for a second opinion, the mechanic did a full diagnosis and provided proof that the starter is good and its the alternator, stated that the dealership not only installed improperly but that the part is faulty,. Ground wire was not connected to the engine and therefore it couldn't be started alternator charge wire installed in an incorrect position and tugging on harness and protective cover can't be placed over power wire alternator not charging and getting extremely hot, all of which should be covered under warranty, so I went back to the dealership and asked for the service manager, oscar, who told me he would not only not refund any money for the mis diagnosis but he would also charge me for any further repairs even tho the part that was installed two weeks ago is the one that has and issue and should one still under the same warranty. Then I was harassed by service manager who threatened violence on my family over the phone. The Jeep now even once repaired could have so many issues arise as well because of the negligence this dealership has shown, the have underqualified and unsupervised technicians doing jobs they are not ready to be doing alone. Now I worry for my safety and longevity of my vehicle. The dealership also left the car running the entire time they had it. So my battery was shot and it is brand new. I have all receipts and documents as well just your website isn't allowing to upload them all so I included a photo to show how negligent this dealership was.

Jeep is having electrical issues. It will randomly go into limp mode at start, but turning it off and restarting it fixes that issue. It's done this three times in the 2 years we have had it. I am now having an electrical issue where something is causing a draw on the battery while the vehicle is turned off. I have had to replace the alternator, starter, and now the battery. It is causing the battery to swell, and the Jeep is having to be jumped to start multiple times a week. The battery was put on a deep charge, and it had to be jumped the next day. Also the air conditioning back lighting goes off and on when you turn the knobs or adjust the fan speed while both driving and stationary. This has been going on for roughly a month.

While driving 60 miles per hour along the southbound express lane of garden state parkway my new 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee started shaking. Within seconds, I pulled on to the grassy area next to the fast lane where my vehicle died. After getting towed to the dealership, I was notified that my new car with 329 miles on it is in need of a new engine, new batteries and new starter. Of notable concern on the repair order is the following: "what is present inside intake manifold is pieces of metal. " while the case is not yet closed, Chrysler informed me they intend to fix the vehicle under warranty and return it to me. This is a serious safety concern and I fear the blown engine, dead batteries and starter could have caused additional, unrecognized damage.

While driving all instrumentation, gauges, and warning lights flash on and off as if you are starting the vehicle up. During this electrical �fit� the heater fan stops, all bells and whistles also click and chime. First time it happened the vehicle stalled shortly after leaving driveway, I rolled to the curb, put it in park and shut off key then restarted. No issues for weeks until it happened again, this time under power at speed on highway lost all lights and windshield wipers, but vehicle continued to run. Sometimes the electrical fit self-corrects, other times you must shut off and restart to clear issue. Took it to dealership several times but on each occasion they couldn't duplicate issue. On one trip they blamed the ignition switch and replaced it as part of recall, but the issue continues to happen. Next visit they blamed the aftermarket remote starter which has been in the vehicle since bought. But to eliminate the possibility, I bypassed the remote starter for months and issue still happened. Happened again today so I searched on-line and found hundreds of similar issues reported. One report pointed me here to find many similar official reports so adding mine here. Dangerous when on highway as you never know when it might leave you without power. Frustrating to see so many others have same/similar issue and Jeep/Chrysler doing nothing about it.

Car wouldn't start transmission overtemp error. Drive to work 20 min parked car flat surface came out to leave after 8 hour shift that error message and won't start. 2nd time this has happened no warning was told common issue pigtail to starter because of placement it gets wet or moisture. Which makes this car questionable to drive.

Vehicle will not start despite having good battery, good starter, good plugs, and good fuel pump. This has happened before related to faulty oil pressure relay and faulty tipm.

My battery light came on so I pulled over at an advanced auto and had the battery checked. This was on my way to work. They tested my battery and said the battery that I had just replace 3 months earlier had a bad cell. How is that possible? I had it replaced and then tried to start the vehicle to test the alternator. At that point my alternator started smoking after the vehicle started. They said my alternator wasnt charging enough and it needed replaced. At this point I had to disconnect my battery to stop the alternator from smoking. When I did this, my battery felt unusually hot. Got it tested and it blew my battery. I replaced the battery and the alternator and then the starter was not functioning at all. I replaced the starter and there was no change. The starter was not getting any power. As im reading through the complaints section the only two things it could be it seems is the tipm or the pcm. This seems like it should be a major safety concern and should be looked into before someone gets hurt. Maybe could be a class action lawsuit on Jeep as it should stand behind its product.

When the car is stationary it will not start when the button is pushed. The car shudders and the computer freezes. It can only start when the key is used in place of the push button. It seems as if the starter is not relaying to the fuel pump. This car underwent a big recall in March of 2017. The fuel pump, fuse box, battery and alternator were replaced. It was at the dealers for three weeks. The Jeep broke down and had smoke coming from under the hood. Unfortunately, we received the recall notice three days after the problem occurred, so we had taken it to our mechanic. Then we had to have an additional tow to the dealership. (recall r09).

The alternator burned out, burning out also the starter, the wiring harness and the computer. This seems similar to the recall ordered for smaller Jeep engines, by our p60/NHTSA 14v-634 recall. I was driving the car when the battery light came on. The car remained in operation. I drove it to a repair shop which found the issues. When I got to the shop, I could smell a burning odor. Date of 9/1/2019 approximate.

Vehicle was started and transmission placed in drive, then driven onto a city street accompanied by an unusual whining noise, lurching, and impaired acceleration. Vehicle was limped into a parking lot, placed in park and shut off again, after which it would no longer crank. Vehicle was towed to dealership where initially the starter was replaced. After starting the vehicle, the technician reported sparks and a strong burning smell from the alternator, which he declared unsafe to drive. The alternator was then replaced, after which the powertrain control module or pcm was also found to have failed and was replaced. The primary cause of the problem here is unclear, but the safety concern stems from the shorting alternator making the vehicle unsafe to drive. It seems likely that had the driver been unable to immediately pull over, the vehicle could have caught fire and/or completely shut down in traffic. As other, similar vehicles from this manufacturer have been recalled for weak alternator diodes failing catastrophically (p60 / NHTSA 14v-634), it seems reasonable to investigate whether this hazard exists in this and other similar vehicles also.

�takata recall� my vehicle had an issue starting becuase of a short faulty wire connecting to the starter that ive seen on youtube that 750000+ people have the same issue it left me stuck plenty if times as is starts when it wants to. I really cant word it as best as the next person but this is the issue and im oretty sure im not the first person to file a complaint about this here wit Jeep.

My 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo will not start. The battery is new. Lights come on, radio comes on, lights do not dim, but Jeep will not start. (not even click to indicate starter).

Takata recall vehicle will start intermittently getting worse, I have replaced the battery and the starter. My car will turn over on it's own if I leave my key in the start position to have the radio on without me touching the key or cranking it over. The vehicle also knocked its self out of park and hit into a building. I've had electrical issues since my purchase back in 2016 and I've had no answers to what the problems are. I owe 13,000 on my vehicle and I need help figuring out if it could be a recall or not.

Starter turns over but wont crank and leaves me stranded. Horn goes off at random times. Windows and door locks sometimes wont work. Google says its the tipm. Happens while vehicle is moving and non moving. Has happend multiple times.

Vehicle will randomly not start. When attempting to start it will click like it is trying to turn over and does this multiple times, but will not start. This happens with using push button or key to start. This has happened 6 times in the past month. . Once after starting the car with no issue and pulling out of driveway vehicle just died and would not restart. Since this has started while vehicle is going over 40 mph it has a whining sound coming from the front end. Vehicle was brought in to dealer who states that the battery, starter and alternator appear fine.

While driving the vehicle shuts off completely. Try restarting may take several attempts. There is no response from the engine not turning over, starter not engaging. Once it starts it drives fine until the next occurrence. This also happens quite often when first trying to start the car as well.

The Jeep is having trouble starting, the starter is running for several seconds but it wonts start until the second or third try. On several occasions the vehicle stall while running.

Starter engages, but will not start wipers work without being turned on . Battery depleted for no reason. Engine quits for no apparent reason. This all happened while vehicle was stationary,but just as easily been while moving.

My car has stop/start system so when I put my brakes on to stop the vehicle it cuts off the engine and when I take my foot off the brake it automatically restarts the engine. Very recently when I had stopped at a traffic red light, and a traffic jam, engine shut down with braking and did not restart. I could not restart the car either, and the gear was locked on park. Could not put the car on neutral gear to move it out of main road. There were about 10 cars behind me. Very scary and dangerous situation. It finally restarted after several trials, may be 10 or 12 trials while I was waiting tor the tow truck to arrive. I was also worried that the car could not be towed without putting it in to neutral gear. This happened on four different times. I took it to a dealer service center three different times for this same problem. They first changed auxiliary battery and told me to drive the car. The very next day car started stopping again. They then changed the 2nd (main) battery. Problem remained. Then finally they found that one of the battery wires was not securely connected to the starter via a connector. They have put a new connector. It is a scary situation, and can lead to loss of life on road. If it knocks off the engine behind a traffic jam and does not start back it may lead to serious accident and even death. It is only 6 month old brand new car and I did not expect this problem. It can not be easily put in neutral gear if engine can not be started which is a major traffic hazard. This needs to be thoroughly investigated and recalled. They have provided an option to override park gear in to neutral but it is not very easy for a person to locate and find the override option. I think this problem is a major traffic safety hazard. I request you to kindly investigate this problem with Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thank you very much.

Vehicle won;t start due to a tipm starter /fuel relay is this a recall.

The total integrated power module has begun to fail resulting in delayed or no engine turnover when ignition button is pushed while parked (although remote start on key fob works fine, battery is fine and starter is fine), driver seat moving on its own while driving on highway, headlights failing at night while driving on suburban streets, etc.

Monday 5, June 2107 coming off highway 695 my Jeep started shutting down, I pulled off to the side of the road my Jeep shut everything off. I had my Jeep towed to the local Jeep service shop. Next morning tate Jeep told me that it would about two weeks, and about $2,500 to repair my Jeep. I called a mechanic that I know, I told him what tate told me he had my Jeep towed to him. He used the diagnostics tool to diagnose my Jeep the mechanic told me that I needed to replace alternator, battery, starter, ecm it would take him about a week to compete all the needed work and about $1,100 estimate. I paid $1,800 and had to use 16 hours of vacation time from my job. Tuesday, November 14, 2017. While talking with my mechanic and he said the battery keeps draining. Later I started searching for you-tube clips, and then auto recalls popped-up. Omg I entered my VIN number and my Jeep has 5 recalls! really five. As instructed I call the local Jeep retailer and explain all of my issues that my Jeep has been having and the NHTSA recalls. The service manager recommends for me to have my Jeep towed to them but they couldn't look at it until next Monday, November 20, 2017. So on that note I asked if they offer car rental? no they don't that's crazy the recalls are from your manufacturer.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the vehicle would not start when prompted on several occasions. Twin city Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (650 sagamore parkway south, lafayette, indiana 47905, (765) 588-4077) was made aware of the failure and diagnosed that the wire that connected the starter to the ignition needed to be replaced.

Stalling and failing to start (starter keeps cranking but never turns over)leaving me stranded.

When I try to start my car I turn the key and all the lights come on but the car will not start. The battery is new. The starter doesn't engage at all. Also when I try to lock or unlock the car with the key fob I have to press the key fob 10-15 times to get it to work. I brought it to my local dealer multiple times for the same issue and they said there wasn't anything wrong with it.

I purchased my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland last year from a Toyota dealer. Only because no other dealers had one with saddle interior. So far the radiator needed to be replaced because it cracked leaking fluid and recently the push button starter went. Is there a recall on the push button starter malfunctioning?.

My Jeep was started to make a whining noise after leaving a parking lot, later on there was a burning smell coming from engine, toward coming home automatic wipers came on even while it was not raining. Next day Jeep would not start nor where there any lights on dash/overhead. Looked up NHTSA and realized others had similar situation with alternator recall, only to find out my Jeep was not covered even when other same/make/model/year were covered. I called Jeep and they said I had different alternator, but I had same problem/issue, not far to be not covered. Total bill $2k for alternator/battery/starter/towing and computer fix. Not to mention I didn't have use of Jeep for days while it was getting fixed. I was lucky I didn't have accident, which could have happened not knowing what was going on at time and could you imagine Jeep dying on highway. Jeep has no clue what is causing this to happen, nor being fair to all consumers, leaving them stranded and broke.

Ignition switch sticks and hard to turn, also have shut off while driving. Starter keeps turning.
