2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

ON AUGUST 14, 2014 MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WOULD NOT START. OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THE STARTING ISSUED GOT CONTINUALLY WORSE. THE DAY I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TO HAVE LOOKED AT IT TOOK 8 TO 12 TIMES TO START. THE VEHICLE WILL CRANK BUT NOT START. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND FOUND NO FUEL PRESSURE WHEN NOT STARTING. TECHNICIAN FOUND FUEL PUMP NOT BEING TURNED ON WHEN KEY IS TURNED. TECHNICIAN INSTALLED A RELAY OVERLAY HARNESS FOR TIPM CIRCUIT. DIAGNOSIS - FAULTY TIPM. *TR

DURING THE COLD WINTER MONTHS IN NYC THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT DID ACTUALLY START. THE REAR DOOR LATCH OPENS BUT THE DOOR DOESN'T ACTUALLY OPEN SO I NEED TO GET OUT AND OPEN THE DOOR AND CLOSE IT TO REMOVE THE DOOR OPEN SYMBOL ON MY DASHOBOARD. THEN THE DOOR WILL DO THE SAME THING 3 OR 4 TIMES IN A ROW. ALSO THE REAL GLASS WINDOW DOESNT OPEN, BUT THEN WILL OPEN ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO FAILED TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE TIPM WOULD NOT SEND POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND ENGINE WOULD NOT START. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT FAILS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, MY JEEP HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON, IT WOULD JUST TURN OVER AND OVER BUT FAIL TO FIRE UP. SHUT IT OFF, WAIT, RESTART THE PROCESS IS THE ONLY WAY TO FINALLY GET IT TO START. THE PROBLEM NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO ALMOST EVERY TIME AND 5-6 X TO FINALLY START. I KNOW THIS SITE WANTS ME TO LOG EACH INCIDENT SEPARATELY, BUT I'D BE DOING THAT 5X A DAY...UGH! NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO A $1200+ REPAIR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE! MAY BE MY LAST JEEP IF THEY DON'T FIX IT! I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A FAULTY TIPM, THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, YET IT AM STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO WITH MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START WITH THE PUSH BUTTON NOR THE KEY. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT OF TAKING UP TO TEN MINUTES TO CRANK THE JEEP. WOULD TURN THE IGNITION TO "RUN" FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START. ONCE THE REPAIR SHOP LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM, THE JEEP WOULDN'T CRANK AT ALL. HAD TO REPLACE THE TIPM TO THE TUNE OF $1200.00 AND TWO WEEKS IN THE REPAIR SHOP. *TR

HAD A PROBLEM STARTING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 8/27. WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE TPIM AND/OR FUEL PUMP. PARTS ARE ORDERED, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN THEY'LL ARRIVE. NOW I'M IN A RENTAL. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO START MY VEHICLE, IT WILL ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER BUT WILL THEN TURN ITSELF OFF. AFTER READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A FAULTY TIPM THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT IT ALSO CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS, AND STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES A VERY BIG CONCERN FOR ME; AS IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY VEHICLE TO STALL AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OR WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. *TR
