2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE CLIP THAT CONNECTED THE SOLENOID TO THE STARTER BECAME DETACHED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE CLIP BACK ONTO THE SOLENOID IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BURNS TO HIS HAND THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER WIRING HARNESS AND CLIP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

VEHICLE HAD ISSUE RESOLVED BY RECALL P57 WHERE KEY FOB WOULD STICK IN IGNITION BETWEEN OFF AND ON. THE KEY FIRST GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION ON 8/14/14, A MEMORABLE DAY, BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE DAY WE WERE GOING TO THE TITLE COMPANY TO CLOSE ON OUR FIRST HOME. AT THE SAME TIME THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE STARTED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTIONS ARE DISABLED. THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAGS WORK. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $90 JUST TO HOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO THEIR MACHINES TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WILL NOT CONSIDER THIS AS RELATED TO THE RECALL P57. NOT BEING ABLE TO HONK IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY IS A PROBLEM. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL SO I GUESS IT WILL TAKE GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT TO FIND OUT (AN ACCIDENT WHICH CANNOT BE PREVENTED BY HONKING MY HORN TO WARN ANOTHER DRIVER).

I WAS TRAVELING ON MONTROSE PARKWAY IN ROCKVILLE, MD. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45MPH. I APPROACHED A SLIGHT BEND TO THE LEFT THAT HAD A SLIGHT DECLINE. I LOST CONTROL ON DEBRIS THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM AN ACCIDENT EARLIER THAT MORNING. I STRUCK AND WENT OVER THE CURB WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I WENT HEAD ON INTO A STEEL LIGHT POST INCASED IN A CONCERT FOOTER. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED VERY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE COLLISION. THIS IS A VERY MAJOR CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT WAY WORSE, BUT I WAS VERY, VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ONLY SUSTAIN BRUISING. THIS VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS.
