2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

ON MORE THAN 1 DOZEN OCCASIONS MY JEEP HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FM 20 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. I LOST STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES WHILE THE REST OF GAGES STAYED ON. AFTER THE FIRST FEW TIMES I FIGURED OUT I COULD THROW IN NEUTRAL , HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. CHRYSLER JEEP TOLD ME THIS WAS A "RELAY " RECALL FOR OVER 1 1/2 YEARS THAT THEY HAD NO REPAIR FOR. SO THEY JUST KEPT REPLACING TRHE PART. I WOULD GET ANYWHERE FM 2 WKS TO FEW MONTHS WITH THE "NEW, BAD PART" THE REALL REPAIR CAME IN LAST WEEK. AFTER REPLACING IT, I MADE IT 2 DAYS BEFORE I STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME ON AN EXIT RAMP DOING 30 MILES AN HOUR AROUND A SHARP TURN .I (AND MY 13 YEAR OLD SON) WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. I HAD TO USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO GET OUT. I CASUED MINOR F=DAMAGE ASWELL. THIS TIME! I KEEP TELLING THEM IT;S ONLY MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I DIE OR KILL SOMEONE WHEN THIS STALL HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD A RENTAL OR BEEN WITH OUT A CAR FOR AT LEAST 5 WEEKS OF THIS LAST YEAR ALONE FOR THIS RECALL FAILURE. I LOOK ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WEBSITES AND LINKS TO JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES THAT HAVE DONE THIS. HOW MANY PPL HAVE TO WREAK OR DIE TO GET SOMEONES ATTENTION?? I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT A FEW YEARS AGO.

BOTH HEAD REST ARE LOOSE AND PLASTIC TO HOLD IN PLACE IS BROKEN ON THE TWO FRONT SEATS. THIS DOESNT PROVED PROPER HEAD SUPPORT IF IN A COLLISION

SUV ENTERED INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET.AND WAS STRUCK ON THE RIGHT FRONT PANEL. I BELIEVE THE CAR SPUN TO THE LEFT AND CLIPPED THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK.

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC, HAD JUST COME A UP A HILL, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR BUCKED, AND THEN MY CAR "STALLED". THANKFULLY, WE KEPT COASTING, BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID, WE WERE IN A LONG LINE OF TRAFFIC GOING 50 MPH ON A MAJOR ROAD. I PULLED OVER, SHUT MY CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE US THE TWO MILES TO GET BACK HOME. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TWO CHILDREN IN MY GRAND CHEROKEE, THEREFORE MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING HIS. SO FAR THIS WEEK, THE GRAND CHEROKEE HAS STALLED SIX TIMES WHILE MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING, USUALLY WHILE HE IS ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE; 19V-813, WHICH DESCRIBES A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE THROUGH JEEP. WE HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERS IN THE OUR AREA AND NO ONE WILL OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE THAT RELATES TO THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, BUT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE OR TIPM. I'M HAVING NUMEROUS OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT NONE THAT POSE SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE STALLING. I HAVE BEEN READING OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNER COMPLAINTS, AND MANY SITE THIS IS THE PROBLEM, STATING THAT THEY HAVE HAD THEIR FUEL PUMP RELAY FIXED, BUT THEUR CAR IS STILL STALLING. MY OTHER CAR PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS, WHICH POINT TO THE TIPM: WHILE KEY FOB IN WITHIN VEHICLE, DASH STATING KEY ISN'T IN CAR OR FOB IS DAMAGED, CAR TURNS ON BUT SHUTS BACK OFF QUICKLY ON ITS OWN, THE A/C ONLY WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY THOUGH PRESSURE IS FINE, THE "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" WARNING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, BUT SHUTS OFF WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF.
