I WAS DRIVING ON COUNTY ROAD ABOUT 45 MPH BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN ABS LIGHT THEN MESSAGE SERVICE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, ENGINE AND BRAKE LIGHT THEY STAYED ON TILL I GOT HOME THERE WAS ALSO A VERY LOW HUMMING NOISE WHEN I TURNED OFF CAR IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IN MORNING IT STARTED I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. BATTERY AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. 11/19/15 RECALLS FOR IGNITION SWITCH,AND REPROGRAM FINAL DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULE WERE PERFORMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

ONE SATURDAY NIGHT I NEEDED TO RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO MY CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A TERRIBLE TAPPING NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC ABOUT THE CAR, I WAS TOLD IT IS PROBABLY A DROPPED VALVE SEAT. NOW, I AM LOOKING AT OVER $4000 TO SWAP AN ENGINE THAT WAS NEVER HOT-RODDED OR ABUSED. AFTER A SIMPLE SEARCH ONLINE, I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINES. SO MUCH SO THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION SUIT.

THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS I AM ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON AND DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE P41 / NHTSA 14V-438 RECALL AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES. IT IS STALLING EVEN MORE OFTEN NOW. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIR TO 3 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS NOT INCLUDING THE RECALL AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE STALLED ONE PARTICULAR TIME AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BUS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE WAY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 132,500.

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS. WHEN IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, INSTRUMENT PANEL LOST POWER, THEN CAME BACK ON AND ALL CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP, THEN WENT OFF. WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK--CYCLED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHEN ENGINE WAS OFF, IGNITION WAS OFF AND KEY WAS OUT OF IGNITION, LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF, HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF TWICE FOR NO REASON. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON SLIGHT INCLINE, ENGINE LOST POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A CERTIFIED JEEP REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. (SEE ATTACHED)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V438000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DRIVING LONGER THAN 10-15 MINUTES TURNING THE JEEP OFF AND TRYING TO RESTART WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES IT WON'T START. LET IT SIT FOR MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES WILL START. THE RELAYS GET VERY WARM BUT AFTER COOLING, THE CAR STARTS. DEALERSHIP HAS ZINGED US FOR A NEW STARTER, IT DIDN'T NEED, A NEW PCM, IT DIDN'T NEED. TESTING MY OWN THEORY 3 CONSECUTIVE TIMES IN ONE DAY, DROVE THE VEHICLE AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. TURNED OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART (AS YOU WOULD A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE) AND NOTHING BUT WAITING EACH TIME, CAR STARTS AFTER COOLING. PICKED UP THE JEEP TWO DAYS AGO FROM DEALERSHIP WHO HAD IT 18 DAYS TRYING TO FIX IT (3RD TIME)AND THE FIRST TRIP THAT DAY RESULTED IN ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME PROBLEM.
