Wiring Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee - part 2

I was driving my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a city streetwhen my eyes and throat started burning. My 10 month old infant began to cry as I realized smoke was filing the cabin. I panicked, and pulled over, turned off the car and immediately took my baby out of the car. We remained in the side of the road for assistance. I continued seeing smoke coming out of the right side of my car. When assistance arrived, I realized the right visor had caught on fire and a result was burned with a black hole. I took my Jeep to the dealership on January 6, 2015 to get it serviced for recall p 36, which is related to the sun visor wiring. I was told by the dealership, that the recall had been completed. I contacted chyrsler customer support after my Jeep was on fire and filed a complaint. The representative was so rude and told me it would take 2-3 business days to get my case reviewed. This was not a surprise, as I have dealt with Chrysler customer service in the past and have never had a good experience. I feared for my safety as well the safety of my infant. I refuse to drive that car, and was told by the customer representative that I shoukd take it to the dealership. Why they would suggest that ? I don't know. I don't feel safe and now I am car less as I wait for someone to review my case.

I have received a recall for my Jeep: the totally integrated power module (tipm) contains an internal fuel pump relay that could operate intermittently or fail without warning. An intermittent or failed fuel pump relay could cause the engine to stall while driving and cause a crash without warning. Three months later, Jeep says the parts are still not available, therefore, my car is still dangerous to drive. Recall status: incomplete but repair parts are not available. Furthermore, Jeep wants to hack into my wiring to replace a relay. That relay is originally part of the totally integrated power module. They are trying to take a "cheap" rather than "proper" approach to repairing my vehicle. I want the module replaced in whole, as this is where the relay in question was engineered to reside. Furthermore, I have called my local Jeep dealer to verify the availability of the totally integrated power module. I was told that they could order it and have it on their shelf in 2 working days! I want Jeep to repair this safety defect immediately, and properly, as the vehicle was designed and engineered to operate.

I received notice by mail in December that my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a recall (p36 sun visor wiring) and there was a risk of fire due to a wiring issue. I immediately took my car to dadeland Dodge Chrysler Jeep in miami, FL to get the recall fixed. My car was at the dealership for about 24 hours being repaired and the next day I was called to go pick it up because the recall had been done and the car was good as new. Fast forward to Tuesday, April 14th and I am driving and stopped at a red light. My car filled with smoke and I could not breathe in the car. I had no idea where the fire was coming from so I started opening all the windows and noticed there was a fire by the sun visor. All of the electrical functions on the center console and the steering wheel had disabled and I was unable to open the sunroof to let the smoke out. I had to pull over, turn off the car and truly feared for my life because the car had filled with smoke and the sun visor was completely burned. The fire could have burned me had I been on a highway and unable to stop. I think it's incredible that I did my part, took the car to get the recall fixed, and was returned a car that was clearly not fixed. This fire could have severely injured me and I no longer feel safe driving this car. This model car has had several recalls, including one involving the breaks, and to be honest, I just do not feel safe driving it after what happened to me. I simply want back what I paid for this manufacture defected vehicle.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to brake booster, vanity mirror wiring and totally integrated power module recall notices. The dealer informed the consumer, the parts were not available.

My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo was acting like the door was open (overhead computer warning driver door open and interior lights would not go out), but was visibly/physically closed. The windows, door locks and mirror controls were not working. Upon further investigation of the main wires coming in from the body of the Jeep into the door, (door jam/black boot) it was clear what the problem was. There was a black severed wire and a partial severed orange/white wire. There was no clear solution why this has happened. There has been multiple reports of this being a common problem with the wiring harness. This should be recalled as it is obviously a manufacturers defect and is costing people a lot of money to fix.

I took my car in by appointment today at 7:30am today (10/27) to helfman river oaks Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, 4807 kirby drive, houston,TX. I took it in for recall p36, sun visor wiring. The recall letter says the repair can be done in 1. 6 hours. However the service advisor tells me at 7:30am that the car will not be ready for 2 days. I ask to make an appointment for a later day, when the recall can be done within 1 day. He tells me the recall will require 2 days no matter when I bring it in , and I can't make an appointment to have the recall done in one day. This practice will simply encourage people to not do the recall service. This is a dangerous practise. What good is a recall letter, if the dealer will always require 2 days to do the recall service- even though the recall letter states it should take 1. 6 hours, and the owner is willing to make an appointment in the future for the recall service. This is effectively discouraging owners from doing the safety recall.

Attempted to have Jeep/Chrysler recall p14 (brake booster) and p36 (sunvisor wiring) completed. Fair oaks chantilly Jeep Chrysler inspected the vehicle but stated there was a nation-wide shortage of parts and the brake recall could not be completed for 2-3 months. After talking to the Chrysler customer assistance hotline, I was advised Chrysler does not have sufficient parts in stock to handle all of the brake booster recalls.

" they confirmed the wait time for replacement parts to "address this important safety issues" was 2-3 months.

I have had multiple minor issues with this vehicle and returned for repair as many as 3 times to get them fixed. Those are minor compared to the challenges I encountered last week with the vehicle. I took it into service the brakes for normal ware and tear and had two recalls taken care of. I also had the rear window which was leaking fixed (3rd time) and dashboard trim repaired (2nd time). About an hour after leaving the dealer the check engine light came on. I returned to the dealer the next day and they discovered it had 2 bad codes that had something to do with a bad ground. Their first thought was the recall work was not done properly. Once they dug into the codes they discovered a couple of things. First the module-active dampening was bad at a cost to me of $749. 00. In my opinion this module had nothing to due with my care for the vehicle and should last the life of the car. It was so hard to get it took the dealer 2 days to find one. They also commented it was the first they have ever replaced. They also discovered due to the check engine light that one of the shocks is bad and will cost approx. $1600. 00 to replace and they are none to be had right now. They are on back order. Again another part that should not be replaced in less then 2 years of highway use. This is a srt model (the most expensive car in Chrysler's line) and it only has surface street and highway miles on it. As for the shock the dealer is asking Jeep to pay for all of it except $100. 00, we shall see. Finally they discovered something they call a "bracket" which is an electrical wiring harness was bad. It was explained to me that they repaired it but if it goes out again it will be another $1600. 00 repair. Once again should not a electronic component that would have to have the dash board removed to replace it last the life of the car?.

Around Sep of this year Chrysler notified me of two recalls on my Jeep Grand Cherokee; p36 / NHTSA 14v-391 (sun visor wiring) and p14 / NHTSA 14v-154 (brake booster corrosion). . When I contacted the local dealer they told me to wait until oct as the manufacturer didn't have parts available. I contacted the dealer, planet Jeep in flagstaff, az on 10 oct and was told Chrysler was rationing parts and that they would place me on a list. I've been in that virtual queue waiting on parts since 10 ocvt 2014 and every time I call the dealer I'm still on the list. I contacted Chrysler to complain about the poor service as I've been waiting for parts to fix safety problems for going on three months. I've been through several recalls over the past 40-years and have never experienced an excessive delay like this. It is actually easier to get my Mercedes Benz repaired and the nearest dealer is a 2 â½ hour drive from hear. Chrysler has demonstrated a lack of concern and no sense of urgency to correct two safety issues with my vehicle. Their advise to me was to continue contacting my dealer to ensure I'm still on the waiting list.

In may I received the recall notice for the brake booster (p14 NHTSA 14v-154) and have called my local dealer several times since then to schedule the replacement. However, the dealer says they do not have the part and are expecting the part to arrive any day. In September, I received the sun visor wiring recall notice (p36 NHTSA 14v-391) and have called the local Jeep dealer regarding scheduling this replacement also. The dealer reports that they do not have the parts for this either and do not know when the parts will be available. This is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for the dealer to resolve the defects, and I feel my safety is at risk.

I have received a safety recall notice regarding the sun visor wiring, #p36 NHTSA 14v-391. I contacted my dealer where I purchased the vehicle. As per the safety recall instructions listed beside "what you must do to ensure your safety", I called the dealer to schedule a service appointment and asked the dealer to hold or order the parts for my vehicle before my appointment. The dealer did not schedule an appointment and said that they didn't have the parts. I was informed that I would be put on a list and would be called when I'm next. I was told that Chrysler is only sending the dealer two replacement parts per week as it is a restricted part. I explained what the recall notice said they were to do and he said this is how Chrysler is doing this. I'm upset that I receive a safety recall about a possible electrical fire and Chrysler feels it isn't important enough to quickly repair it. I feel they should order the part and schedule my appointment just as stated in the recall notice. I would appreciate your investigating this and letting me know the outcome. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Received 2nd notice of recall for sun visor wiring -p36/NHTSA 14v-391 contacted the Jeep dealership 3 times and each time they stated I'm on "the list" to be called when the parts come in. According to my last conversation with them, they stated "there is no list"! why am I getting two different stories and why am I wasting my time? dealership does not know how to treat their customers or are not correctly informed as to the guidelines of how to process recalls. I'm beginning to rethink my next purchase!.

Recall p/14/NHTSA 14v-154 - brake booster, called immediately after receiving notification (06/05/2014). Told parts not available, only receiving about 5 per week. Placed on list. As of 09/11/2014, still on list as parts not available in sufficient quantities. Recall p36/NHTSA 14v-391 - sun visor wiring, same as other recall, parts not available. Why are recalls issued if there are no parts available? Jeep is putting owners at risk by not having parts available.

Jeep Grand Cherokee recall - I have had numerous issues with my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, primarily electrical related. My car was making a high pitched sound, it wasn't very loud at first, but progressively got worse. It wouldn't start at first - then had to try to start it a few times before it would start. The electrical system seemed to be malfunctioning worse. I assumed it needed a new battery, so I bought one and the guy at autozone installed it. I drove to my restaurant and it started acting up again (high pitch sound returned, had trouble starting it). As I was driving back home on the road (45 mph) - I saw all electrical workings cut off and back on (the red lighting lights flashed). As I tried to pull over, the entire electrical system failed. My power steering, anti-lock breaks, radio and everything electrical stopped working. I almost got in a wreck but it took every bit of strength I had to stop and steer the vehicle - I turned into a shopping center and steered toward an incline and eventually stopped (almost hit a car, then almost hit an elderly couple pedestrians). I had my car towed to hendrick Chrysler fayetteville, nc. They said the pcm was out. It was still under warranty so they replaced it - but my vehicle has never been properly repaired. My check engine light comes on and off all the time and have had numerous electrical wiring issues (before and after the pcm) was replaced. My vehicle (when the pcm went out) could have easily killed me and anyone on the road at that time. The dealership keeps saying that none of that has anything to do with the check engine light or any of the other recalls - but I cannot accept that. I feel this vehicle - 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee - is an extremely dangerous hazard to all road. I have also had numerous other recalls for this vehicle.

Bought a used Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011 w/ 19k miles on it (it was leased before). First incident happened with 30k miles on it. Vehicle would turn over a little bit but would not start. Dealership said fuel pump was bad, running after vehicle turned of then didn't get power when turning it on. Dealership replaced fuel pump, went to pick it up from dealership and it wouldn't start. Second trip (within 2-3 days) to dealership it started up. Worked fine for about 4-5 weeks, then same incident occured again. Vehicle would turn over but not start up, sounded the exact same as the prior issue. Dealership replaced the tipm, car worked fine for about 12 months. Two weeks ago, the same issue came about. Car turning over but not starting. This time the dealership replaced my key fob and it worked for 1 day, then the same issue occured. Now my Jeep is sitting at another dealership and they have replaced the wiring to the fuel pump and now they are in the process of replacing another fuel pump. I heard today that they fuel pump is replaced but still not getting power to it (tipm problem again). Chrysler wants me to pay a deductible for an obviously faulty part that they have replaced again. This last time when I brought my Jeep to the dealer I tried to start the vehicle to let me father hear the noise it was making. A dealership service technician walked by hearing the noise it made and asked, "is it a 2011?", I replied, "yes", he followed up by saying that that model and year has had a reoccuring problem with the tipm, which from what I have read online is extremely dangerous, especially if the car were moving and it went out. You would be left without power steering and brakes. Chrysler has made a product that is faulty and realizes it, yet they still charge customers to replace the faulty parts.

I recently purchased a used 12 Grand Cherokee from starling Chevrolet Buick in st. Cloud, FL. I did a ton of research and had been looking for this particular Jeep for many months. Our Jeep is in immaculate condition and the car fax listed only two minor recalls, the sun visor wiring and a brake component; nothing else. I drove it off the lot a 35 days ago and back home and no problems whatsoever. About 14 days ago my Jeep randomly stalled while I was taking a left turn in front of another vehicle (at a safe distance). Thankfully I was able to pull off the side of the road (no power steering) and come to a complete stop, put Jeep in park, and started again. I was completely baffled why it did this and took it in for service under my 3 year extended warranty. My dealer was unable to get any error or warning sign on the diagnostic test and could not find any problem whatsoever. My Jeep has stalled 2 other times while driving and each time I took it back and the same thing, it would not stall on the mechanic and no check engine light. I was lucky to talk to the previous owner tonight and he explained that he had the tipm replaced 2 times, yes 2 times in this Jeep and after the 2nd time the Jeep kept stalling on him. My wife and I are terrified that we purchased a “lemon” without having any knowledge about this at all. The car fax did not show this information, my Jeep dealer showed me all the warranty history through Chrysler and they sincerely want to help us. However, if the faulty tipm will not even show a check engine light, then how do they warranty a part? they cant (or refuse) and that is the lawsuit. The previous owner said he had to fight until he couldn’t fight anymore to get his dealer to replace the tipm and it still failed after the fact and is now failing on me. What can I do? thank you, ashton howard.

Driving and all dashboard warning lights keep blinking like xmas lights and vehicle looses power, park vehicle and go to restart and check engine light stays on, next day start vehicle and check engine light is off. This has been an on going problem with this vehicle. New wiring and wiring harness was replaced at 43k miles and the "certified tech" said the problem was solved, but per my other complaints the problem keeps happening.

The contact owns a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, she noticed smoke emitting from underneath the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic stated that the wiring harness for the heater motor would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 79,915.

Defect in electrical wiring in driver-side door prevents windows from rolling down (a safety hazard) and doors from locking/unlocking. The back hatch will either remain in locked or unlocked mode depending on when the wiring fails (this model Jeep does not include a manual way to use a key to unlock/lock the back hatch). If a pet was in the back of the SUV that had a "pet fence", there would be no way to get the pet out of the vehicle (or luggage/cargo). This is especially concerning in the event of a rear end collision where the gas tank may catch on fire (current recall). The interior lights also stay on as if a door was open. Turning off the interior lights prevents the speedometer/odometer/gauges/etc from illuminating at night. If the lights are not turned off, then all interior lights remain on causing a hazard at night as well. Driver-side wiring was fixed in October of 2012. In September of 2013, the passenger-side wiring is causing the same problem - windows/door locks don't work and the interior lights stay on. This problem is not an anomaly. It is very concerning that the wiring can fail in both front doors within a one year period - creating safety issues.
