2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHEN THE STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR STARTING CHIMING THAT THE SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEN TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, THE HEADLIGHT INDICATOR TURNED AS WELL. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I LET THE JEEP SIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE UNTIL I RESTARTED IT. THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE ABS BRAKES WARNING LIGHTED UP AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

HEAD REST DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED WHILE CAR PARKED IN GARAGE NO MOVEMENT AT ALL

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE CROSSING INTO A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY.THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START FOR OVER A MINUTE ALL WHILE DISABLED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LINE CAME ON, THE CLUSTER DISPLAY SHOWED NUMEROUS WARNINGS INCLUDING SERVICE THROTTLE CONTROL.

JEEP T36 RECALL (NHTSA 17V-435) HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE JULY 2017 BUT JEEP/FCA SAYS PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT OTHER REMEDIES/REPAIRS ARE AVAILABLE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG.

DON'T DRIVE A LOT AT NIGHT, BUT WHEN I DO THE HEADLIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WELL. THEY DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD MORE THAN MAYBE 30'. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY LIVING IN RURAL MOUNTAIN AREA. ANOTHER PERSON DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AND ASKED IF THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EVEN ON AS THEY DON'T ILLUMINATE WELL, EVEN WORSE IN RAIN. VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT A BASIC COMPONENT OF VEHICLE DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY OR SAFELY.

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS TRAVELING 60 MILES PER HOUR DOWN INTERSTATE 167 OUTSIDE OF PUYALLUP, WASHINGTON ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2016. WINTER HAD FINALLY ARRIVED WITH A LIGHT SNOW AND ICY ROADS. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED RESPONDING. WE HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE, A MOM, AND A STEP-MOM, THAT IS TRAVELING AT THE RATED SPEED LIMIT IN POTENTIALLY ICY CONDITIONS AND WE HAVE LOST ALL SYSTEMS TO INCLUDE AIR SUSPENSION, AIRBAG SYSTEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) , ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS), TRACTION CONTROL.

SAFETY DEFECT/NON COMPLIANCE DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY RISK THE ALTERNATOR MAY EXPERIENCE DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO CYCLICAL LOADS INDUCED BY ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING. FAILED DIODES MAY ALSO DEVELOP A RESISTIVE SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN HEAT, SMOKE AND/OR FIRE ORIGINATING WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR. REPAIR DESCRIPTION THE ALTERNATOR PART NUMBER MUST BE INSPECTED ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES. VEHICLES FOUND WITH THE SUSPECT ALTERNATOR WILL HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A NEW ALTERNATOR CONTAINING IMPROVED DIODES ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. RECALL STATUS INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE GET NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 19, 2017 WE EXPERIENCED ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER PROBLEM. AFTER MY SON'S YOUTH BASKETBALL GAME, WE WENT TO THE PARKING LOT TO HEAD A COUPLE OF BLOCKS HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 8:15 PM. TURNING OUT ONTO THE ROADWAY, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH WARNING LIGHT STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING STARTED HOWLING. I SHUT DOWN AS MUCH OF THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER AS POSSIBLE TO CONSERVE POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT I MADE IT HOME. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD STARTED TO FOG UP SO I TURNED THE DEFROSTER ON LOW. AS SOON AS THE AIR STARTED COMING OUT, I COULD SMELL AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME, I POPPED OPEN THE HOOD AND COULD SMELL ELECTRICAL BURN. I DECIDED TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESEARCH RECALLS AND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. I BELIEVE THIS NEW ISSUE FALLS UNDER RECALL T75.
