I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN I HIT A BUMP AND THE KEY FOB FALLS OUT OF THE IGNITION CUTTING THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OFF. SO I WAS COASTING WITH NO ENGINE OR POWER. LUCKILY I PUT IT IN TO NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED BACK UP. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO MY KEY WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN I AM TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF SO I HAVE TO LEAVE IT ON SOMETIMES AND IT HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL RELEASE AFTER A CLICKING NOISE I CAN TURN IT TO THE OFF POSITION AND IT WILL RELEASE. IT HAS COST ME TWO BATTERIES AND A NEW KEY

THE CAR WILL NOT START WITH IGNITION FOB. THIS HAPPENS UNPREDICTABLY. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT NOW, WITH A NEW BATTERY IT STILL OFTEN WILL NOT START. IF WE WAIT FOR SOME UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME IT EVENTUALLY CRANKS AND STARTS. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF WE CAN LEAVE OR VISA VERSA FOR RETURNING HOME. WHEN EVER THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IN LEGAL PARKING PLACE. HOWEVER, IT HAS CUT OFF WILL DRIVING.

TOOK OUR JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE KEY FOB KEPT GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULDN'T RELEASE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE WIN MODULE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE KEY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPROGRAMMED FOR THAT WIN MODULE! WELL, SINCE THEN, WE'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT (FROM HITTING ABOVE THE IGNITION TO GET IT TO RELEASE, OR WAITING AN HOUR FOR IT TO EJECT ON IT'S OWN) THE RADIO WILL KEEP PLAYING, SO WE HAVE TO TURN IT OFF, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS STAY ON, IT STILL DINGS IF THE DOOR IS OPEN AND ACTS LIKE THE KEY IS IN IT AFTER BEING REMOVED. NOW WE'RE RUNNING INTO MORE ISSUES WHILE WE'RE DRIVING WHERE IT STARTS GLITCHING AND THE COMPUTER MAKES ALL KINDS OF TERRIBLE SCARY SOUNDS AND HAS ACTUALLY POWERED DOWN ON US! NOW THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND WON'T START EVEN WITH A JUMP! MOST ISSUES STARTED OUT WHILE IN PARK AND JUST TRYING TO REMOVE KEY FOB, THAT LASTED A FEW MONTHS AND IT STILL DROVE FINE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUES HAVE CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY SINCE IT POWERED DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET!

THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE KEY GETS STUCK ALL THE TIME. VEHICLE STARTS PROPERLY, BUT DOES NOT SHUT OFF CORRECTLY SINCE THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE VEHICLE. TAKES SEVERAL HOURS TO UNTIL KEY CAN BE TAKEN OUT PROPERLY AND VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THE RIGHT WAY.

PAINT PEELING OFF ON ROOF. PAYED A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS JEEP, NEVER HAD A PAINT PROBLEM ON ANY JEEP OR CAR I HAD BEFORE, GOING TO COST ME 1,258.00 TO FIX, STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS JEEP, SHOULD BE RECALLED, I AM NOT HAPPY, DON'T THINK I AM GETTING ANOTHER JEEP, THIS IS MY 4 TH, AND I LOVE THEM. BUT.

WENT IN TO THE STORE CAME OUT PUT MY KEY IN AND IT DOES NOT START ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME HAD IT TOWED HOME MY SON CAME OVER PUT KEY IN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP ONE WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPEN IT NOT READING MY KEY ALL THE TIME

HAVE OWNED USED 2009 JEEP GRD.CHRKE. FOR 10 MONTHS 2 MONTHS IN TO OWNING NOTICED AT TIMES VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE POWER. PRESSING GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. HAD TO PULL OVER SHUT JEEP OFF, WAIT A MINUTE THEN START JEEP BACK UP. THIS WORKED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. BUT OVER THE MONTHS IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NO CODES FROM ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE JEEP. THIS WEEK THE PROBLEM BEGAN ON FRIDAY AND CONTINUES ON. MY JEEP WILL NOT GO OVER 25 MPH. TAKING IT TO AUTHORIZED DEALER AND JEEP REPAIR ON MONDAY. BUT HAVING READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE I HAVE VERY LITTLE FAITH THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIX!!! EVEN THOUGH MY COMPLAINT MIMICS SEVERAL OF THE COMPLAINTS SENT IN TO THOSE THAT MANUFACTURER JEEPS!!!
