AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPING, SO I HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP ONLY TO REALIZE THAT I HAD NO BRAKES AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. SO IN PANIC MODE I SWERVED OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID HITTING THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME, FINALLY MY JEEP STOPPED BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THEM OVER A WEEK TO GET BACK TO ME TELLING ME WHAT WAS WRONG, THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY TRUCK BACK SINCE I TOOK IT TO THE STOP IN AUGUST 29, 20214. *TR

MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND 5.7L HAS NOT STARTING MULTIPLE TIMES. OTHER SYMPTOMS INCLUDE INTERMITTENT ROUGH IDLE AFTER STARTING, SPUTTERING/MISSING WHEN ACCELERATING AND UPHILL, AND INTERMITTENT FAILING TO SHIFT AT HIGH RPM. DEALER PROPOSING TO INSTALL STARTER/FUEL MODULE RELAY WHICH CHRYSLER HAS MADE DUE TO "AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM" BUT QUOTING ME $410 FOR THE REPAIR. NO DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS THAT THIS WILL FIX ALL THE SYMPTOMS. ADVISED BY DEALER TO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL PROBLEM IS FIXED AS THE TRUCK CAN STALL OR TURN OFF AT ANY TIME RESULTING IN A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!! *TR

AFTER READING MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I SEE THAT MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO ALSO BE SUFFERING FROM A FAULTY TIPM. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR MOST DAYS IS MET WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE A LACK OF FUEL BUT EVERY OTHER ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR THE SAME DAY IS SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE IS NO CONSISTENT TIME, SPEED OR TEMPERATURE RELATED TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP, RADIO, A/C, TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND SEAT BELT ALERT SOUNDS. ONLY ONCE HAS VEHICLE LOST POWER BRIEFLY. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2012 THE DEALER COLD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY BUT BEFORE I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR THE TIPM I WANT TO VERIFY THAT IT IS A RECALL ITEM. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT BEGAN RECENTLY IS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE IF OPENED FROM THE INSIDE UNLESS WE PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST AROUND $600. *TR

JEEP HARD TO START WHEN ENGINE IS COLD DUE TO FAULTY TIPM AND FUEL RELAY. JEEP WILL ATTEMPT TO START, BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. JEEP LOSES THROTTLE AND DIES AT IDLE. *TR
