My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee started making a ticking noise the second time the default water pump was replaced 4 years ago in recall warranty and has made an audible ticking noise since then. Despite multiple complaints to two dealerships, in anniston, al and foley, al, I have been told the ticking was normal for the hemi 5. 7l engine. Three weeks ago, I took a Jeep for a routine oil change and the technician wrote on my multi-point inspection paperwork �noticed an audible ticking�. This technician has told me twice previously that this was normal and failed to mention to me personally while in the dealership. I only noticed he wrote it on my paperwork after I had left. I called and requested to speak with the technique concerning the ticking and I was told I would receive a call back and to this moment have never received a call. After researching online, I see this is a very common issue with the hemi 5. 7l engine however, Chrysler has failed to issue a recall to correct the default engines. The ticking speeds up when accelerating the vehicle. The vehicle has stalled two in the last two days. Once, in the driveway after the vehicle had be started and running for approximately three minutes. The second time, while driving down a busy highway and slowing for a car to turn ahead of me. I luckily was able to veer off the road to prevent an accident. Following this, my fcw turned off without warning and will not allow me to turn back on. Currently, my vehicle has an open recall to, again, replace the faulty fuel pump relay switch which has already been replaced three prior times, once by the Jeep dealership and twice by a private technician. This recall was issued a year ago and still does not have a remedy per the dealership. I travel frequently, at times 300 miles per day. My child travels with me and I fear the vehicle will fail while driving on a highway or interstate.

Vehicle losing coolant due to faulty water pump. Under normal driving conditions, the water pump does not hold up to normal vibration and use. I have taken it to a repair shop and they notified me that the water pump was back ordered and we were number 300 in line for a replacement. It is hard to believe that 300 people are waiting for the same water pump if there is not an issue. That is not including the number of stock that Jeep has already sold to be in back order.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, white smoke began to emit from the engine as the battery light illuminated. After some time, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive it to eastchester Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram(4007 boston rd, the bronx, NY 10466). The dealer initially diagnosed the vehicle with a defective water pump and thermostat. Seeking a second opinion, the contact was then able to drive the vehicle to a nearby independent mechanic who then diagnosed the vehicle with a defective alternator. The alternator was repaired by the mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. Upon investigation,the contact also discovered that her vehicle had been placed under NHTSA campaign number :19v813000(electrical system) however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer had not been notified of the recall. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms that parts not available. Jo.

I am the owner of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. I was transporting my daughter to school on January 28, 2020 travelling at a speed of 45-50mph. A message appeared on my dashboard prompting me to put the vehicle in park and push start/stop. My vehicle begin to stall and just as it was slowing down abruptly shut off in the middle of traffic. When I attempted to restart the vehicle, the vehicle would not start. I was left sitting in traffic fearing for me and my daughter's life as cars continue to drive pass at high speed or driving closing behind my vehicle before realizing that we were at a standstill. I attempted to restart the vehicle and it did not start. I called my automobile insurer who connected me with a tow company to have the vehicle transported to the car dealer for a diagnostic check. Based on the diagnostic review, I was advised that my 2018 Jeep cherokee has a failed ac compressor which caused the starter to fail internally and my water pump is leaking. My car was just taken to the dealership for the recommended service on January 2, 2020. It seems to me that some of this could have been detected during the scheduled maintenance since the report indicates that a full inspection was performed. During the scheduled maintenance service on January 2, I got an oil change and the air filter was replaced. After reading the other reviews I am fearful for my life now while driving this vehicle knowing that it could stop anytime and anywhere. Out of safety precautions I thought it would be beneficial to post this as a safety problem god forbid anything happens in the future.

Engine coolant leak. Had to replace the turbo water feed tube located under the intake manifold. The tube has approximate 3" rubber line which is exposed to high temperatures and over time fails, requiring replacement. Repair cost of $1101. 72. After replacing the hose and completing the repair, I still had a coolant leak. This time it appeared to be the water pump. I went to the dealer to get the purchase the pump and there was a mechanic note stating to check the water pump seals as it is known to have a pinched seal which causes leakage. To replace the seals, the mechanic has to remove the intake manifold and the covers in front of the water pump before the pump can be removed (labor intensive). Up until I had the vo8 recall I did not experience any problems. I also recently had a service def system alert. When I spoke with the mechanic he stated are you having coolant leakage and I said yes. The mechanic said it sounds like your turbo is about to fail. This is when I identified there is a vo1 recall.

My engine light has decided to light up in my Jeep randomly one day after starting it. After scanning it, it shows code p0522. The research I have done has shown it usually shows the oil light when it is that code. So as a result, I have had my oil changed again and I have ordered a oil pressure sensor/sender hoping that will fix all my problems which will be installed next Sunday (7/7/2019). I also had to change the water pump because it had a crack in it, the thermostat just for precautionary measures, and the belt because it had a tear in it about half the size of the width. All of this to try to figure out the problem with the engine light and the scanner showing the code p0522. So we will see if that actually fixes the problem.

The vehicle has now had it's 3rd water pump replacement, Jeep has put a warranty extension on the water pump's for the 13-17 model years and I have a 2012 with the same effected part and Jeep refuse's to pay for something they know its a problem, they won't do anything for me and I have had to have it fixed by an independent repair shop. The warranty extension is x73 from Jeep.

I purchased this Jeep 2nd hand, the Jeep dealership told me that there is a "problem" in the hvac system. Many 2011 Grand Cherokee owners have told me they have had similar problems. My problems resulted in an overheating, small smoke/fire related problem, which I quickly stopped. Over the past 3 years, repair costs have been approx $8,000--(I have repair invoices, I'll attach some, but they are too numerous to scan and attach all now. Will follow up with them if necessary). The following all replaced at my expense: 1). . . Replaced the entire a/c system, including the condenser and all associated parts for heating/cooling, including lines carrying freon, 2). . . Replaced the water pump, 3). . . Replaced the blend doors and actuators three times--(twice parts under warranty). But, this was only a temporary fix. The problems reoccurred several weeks after repairing. 4). . . A month ago the dealer replaced the heater core, and it's housing, claiming that the housing was melted by the heater core. 5). . . The result of regularly overheating--(coolant temperatures between 226-230-f), coolant has continuously been leaking on all parts below/around the leaks on the front passenger side, causing abnormal corrosion. These issues have been happening for the last 3 years, when the car is stationary or moving, city or highway driving.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While the vehicle was stationary with the engine running, the vehicle would not turn off when prompted. The contact stated that the vehicle began to smoke due to fan that continued to run. On one occasion, the vehicle stalled without warning and lost power completely. Mike smith Jeep of beaumont, texas attempted to repair the vehicle numerous times, but the failure continued. The water pump was replaced after the coolant oil began leaking into the pump. In addition, the traction control indicator illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and instructed the dealer to check the tipm; however, the failures recurred even after numerous repairs. The failure mileage was 114,000.

During driving car began making noise and temperature began to rise. Dealer says water pump has failed, causing potential overheating. Parts are on backorder. Per dealer, (sansone Jeep, avenel NJ) 150 water pumps are on backorder. Vehicle is in possession of dealer for 1 week at time of this complaint. Vehicle has 28k miles and always serviced by dealer. Large number of backordered parts indicates significant volume of repairs and likely design flaws.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the temperature gauge lever on the instrument panel was high for the water pump. The warning light kept randomly illuminating. The dealer was notified of the failure, scheduled an appointment, and later stated that the part was on back order. There were 1,700 parts that were not received so the contact was placed on a waiting list. The contact was unable to determine when the part would be supplied to the dealer for months and when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.

I was driving 15 to 20 minutes from home and my check engine came on. I immediately took it to my local gas station (25 yrs relationship) and the car stalled while close to the station losing all steering power. The owner took a look and said give me 24hrs to diagnose. The next day he showed me what happened. . . . The water-pump internal bearing has broken causing the shaft to move back and forth causing the internal water-pump flywheel to break apart. This caused the water pump to dump all the coolant on the ground within 15 to 20 minutes. Final diagnosis was the engine seized due to lack of coolant pumping thru the engine. A new engine was the only solution. I can understand the water-pump having minor leaks with gradual leakage . . . This would have been caught by the puddles under the engine but not the rapid drainage I experienced. I reach out to Jeep hotline. . . . Told the story and was willing to provide photos and physical parts for their qa and rd department to evaluate for design flaw. They were not interested and told me sorry out of warranty. . . And gave me no support or directions to send photos or physical parts. I'm concerned about other drivers who may experience this situation where death and injury may occur. I tried to attach 5 photo below. . . Let me know if all 5 came thru. Thanks for your support. Remember all the failure was inside the sealed water-pump so corrosion and potential external rust issue was not a factor. Thanks in advance . . . . . . . Warren m. Ziegler.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v438000 (electrical system). The vehicle received a recall repair; however, approximately two miles from the dealer, the vehicle began to shake and fumes emitted through the air vents. The contact was unable to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the water pump and timing belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

Serpentine belt failed causing loss of power steering. I did not realize what had broken until I looked later, but I was lucky that I was very close to home as it could have caused major engine failure since the belt also drives the water pump and alternator.

My vehicle is having issues starting/stalling, and sounds like the water pump and/or alternator is failing. I went to the dealership and they said this is all tied to p54/NHTSA 14v-530. The tipm parts are not available to fix this issue, and have not been available since I received the first recall notice back in October 2014. The dealership said the parts are not going to be available for weeks, possibly months. I called Jeep/Chrysler and they also said that is the cause of my problems and they have no date that recall replacement/correction parts will be available. I asked them what I should do since I'm driving a vehicle that doesn't want to start (takes multiple attempts), that stalls out, and that other components under the hood are being affected. They said they will not cover any towing, or rental costs, and had no guidance on what to do besides "good luck". This is a serious issue, I can become stranded, the car could stall (potentially while driving and this car is always on highway high speed driving), and I now have other parts under the hood that this issue is taxing (alternator, battery, water pump, and I could only imagine what else). What am I supposed to do that I'm forced to drive a vehicle with a recall that is not safe to drive? I can't even pay to get this fixed, there is no solution at this time. I don't understand how the vehicle is not recalled entirely and taken off the road, or that if people are experiencing this issue there is no recourse. No free towing, no rental cars ready, no ability to trade in or buy a new vehicle. Nothing. I'm not sure what to do next, get a lawyer? contact bbb? please let me know as I don't see how this is legal, I'm being forced to drive a vehicle with a manufacturing defect that is dangerous. Thank you anthony sanzari 201. 310. 1518 email: asanzari@aol. Com.

After taking my new Jeep into dealer because the "check engine" light came on, I was told that there were 16 stored codes but they could find no problem and the computer was reset. Two days later the check engine light again came on. I took back to the dealership and was told "there is a leak in the fuel tube" we have to replace it but we will have to order the part; we don't have it in stock. I was told "it is safe to drive". . . A leak in the fuel tube-what the heck is leaking-is safe. Ok, but two trips to the dealer with less than 2,500 miles is a bit much. I have a 2006 Jeep, same make/model that had 1st major repair (water pump) at 145,000 miles. . . . So much for improved models. I am very concerned that this is a harbinger of future issues.

I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee that stalls. Hot or cold, night or day, idling at a light or going 75mph down the interstate. I have had the fuel pump replaced, the fuel system cleaned, the O2 sensor replaces, the water pump replaced, the crank sensor replaced, the map sensor replaced, and the ignition coil replaced (I do still have the old ignition coil). It's in the shop now, and after doing some online research, I have found hundreds of people having the same problem, most of them being charged an outrageous amount of money by Jeep dealers who, ultimately, do not fix the problem. I would not be so concerned, but like many Jeep owners, I have small children. The problem started almost a year ago, happens daily, and if it should happen on a busy road or highway when I am going 60+mph, I am concerned about my safety and that of my kids.

Originally having issues slowing down going around corners and up a steep incline. Felt like vehicle was staying in higher gear, you could down shift it manually. At that time there were no codes present in the system. Then last year in August 2011 we did a cross county trip (7000 miles) vehicle would stall at both low speed and high speeds, not every day. Sometimes vehicle would restart itself and others the key had to be removed and reinserted, but most times not. The weather did not seem to be a factor. Upon return vehicle had approx 45,000 miles, codes retreived from vehicle were multiple. Active codes: b2105, c121c pending code: p0524 stored codes p0129, p0688, p0884. At 35,000 miles new oem spark plugs and water pump (due to coolant leak) with new antifreeze. Vehicle is serviced regularly every 3,000 miles since new. Since 45,000 miles all related circuits and components have been inspected and checked for proper operation. New crank sensor and electrical ignition switch. Code b2105 keeps recurring even without stall. All wiring connections and grounds have been cleaned and checked, new battery at 36,000. Had vehicle to dealer and they said they may not be able to find problem. We have stopped driving this vehicle even though we are still paying for it because we feel that it is not safe. My husband has 40 years as certified automotive mechanic and is very frustrated with this vehicle.

I drove through some heavy rain at approximately 3 p. M. On December 24, 2009. My 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee quit. I had to have it December 28, 2009 I had it towed to an independent shop. Over the christmas week end, two mechanics advised the engine had hydrolocked. The shop owner advised that it had hydrolocked. Then after filing an insurance claim, he advised it was not watert but he did not know what caused it. I went to the dealership and talked to a service adviser and she advised it had hydrolodged, a common occurrence, covered by insurance. Then, after I took it there the insurance adjuster wanted the engine torn down at my expense. It was supposed to take one day and it took four. The mechanic advised it was not water but he did not know what caused it. He advised the service adviser it damaged the starter, the water pump, the first piston, numerous valve springs, and cracked the block. This is an unsafe vehicle. It can not be driven in water. In July and October it stalled in water and started again. This Jeep has a mercedes engine and transmission and a european battery. It was not disclosed when I bought it. The battery can not be jumped. I had to have it towed the night the battery quit, from a rural area. It is not a mopar product. I have the original battery. The original parts are at the dealership with the Jeep. I complained to the corporate office and they did not care.
