AUTO MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE 5TH CYLLINDER IN THIS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HEMI ENGINE IS PRONE TO FAIL. PROBABLY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE FIFTH CYLINDER MISFIRE CAUSED CYLINDER TO DETERIORATE AND LEAK METAL INTO ENGINE CAUSING FAILURE. THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA..

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, SITTING IN PARKING LOT AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR 4 HOURS. AIR BAG SUSPENSION EXPLODED, CAUSING VERY LOUD NOISE AND VEHICLE SUSPENSION TO DROP TO ALMOST THE TIRE. VEHICLE INOPERABLE AFTER INCIDENT. VERY HAZARDOUS TO BE NEAR WHEN AIR BAG SUSPENSION POPPED/EXPLODED.

MY 2013 GRAND CHEROKEE HAS HAD THE STALLING ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN DEC. 2016. IN 2017 AFTER REPLACING TIPM & FUEL-PUMP AT OUR EXPENSE, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL & NEITHER JEEP NOR THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN CHANGE THE PART. WE FILED WITH NCDS, & THE ARBITRATOR DID NOT PURSUE THE CASE & CHRYSLER RESPONDED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 'OPERATING AS INTENDED'. I HAVE ELECTRONIC COPIES OF THOSE DOCUMENTS. SINCE THE OFFICIAL RECALL WAS ISSUED, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3-4 TIMES & CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY OR EVERY OTHER DAY. IT FAILED & WOULD NOT START DEC. 2019 SO I TOOK IT IN & GOT IT BACK A WEEK LATER. THEY CLAIMED MY BATTERY WAS DEAD & WOULD NOT HOLD CHARGE. HOWEVER, THE DAY BEFORE IT WOULDN'T START, I'D DRIVEN IT BACK FROM DALLAS TO LAFAYETTE, LA W NO STALL. I'D ALSO DRIVEN IT AROUND THE MORNING IT STOPPED WORKING SO I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT, BUT PAID FOR THE REPAIRS & A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, IT FAILED AGAIN. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE MY VISIT IN DECEMBER. I TOOK IT IN ON JAN. 20TH FOR THE STALLING & GOT IT BACK ON THE 21ST IN THE AFTERNOON. LESS THAN 24 HRS LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ALL LAST WEEK TO REPORT THE DAILY STALLS & WENT BACK IN THIS PAST MONDAY, THE 27TH, AFTER THEY DID NOT RETURN MY CALLS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IT STALLED THERE IN THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT, & THEY GOT A TECH TO RUN THE CODES & IT CAME BACK AS THE RECALL PART. THEN THEY RAN SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTICS PER FCA'S REQUEST & SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. SINCE MONDAY, IT HAS STALLED TWICE SO FAR TODAY, ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHILE DRIVING IT, AND UPON START IT WILL IMMEDIATELY DIE AFTER CRANKING UP. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT & POSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF & OTHERS WHEN IT STALLS IN-OPERATION.

I HAD THE ORIGINAL RECALL DONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, AFTER JUST OVER 2 YEARS IT STOPPED WORKING AND WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK THE CAR CAN'T START. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD THE RECALL DONE AND IT WAS MORE THAN 2 YEARS, I WAS NO LONGER COVERED. I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE ALREADY SINCE THEN. I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JEEP AND THEY HAVE PUT A SECOND RECALL ON THIS PART. HOWEVER THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART WHICH IS ABOUT $10 AND THE CAR WILL NOT START WITHOUT IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MAIN COMPANY AND WAS TOLD IF I HAVE A PROBLEM STARTING OR STALL WHILE DRIVING I AM TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT AND EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND IF THE RELAY IS THE PROBLEM THEY WILL REPAIR IT WITH AN OVER THE COUNTER PART AND WILL CALL ME WHEN THE DEALERSHIP PART COMES IN. I ASKED HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO EVALUATE MY CAR IF IT WAS TOWED IN TO BE FIXED. NO ONE COULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER. ONLY SAYING ONCE THEY LOOK AT IT AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM THEN I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. HERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE LETTER THEY SENT ME ' A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING '. SO MY QUESTION IS, IS THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AS IS, AND IF NOT WHAT ARE MY CHOICES. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THIS. I AM INFORMING YOU OF THIS PROBLEM, THEY DIDN'T OFFER A RENTAL CAR WHEN I SAID WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS SITUATION. A $10 PART AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY, I KEEP 2 REPLACEMENTS IN THE GLOVE BOX IN CASE MY CAR DOESN'T START BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE CAR CAN JUST STALL WHILE DRIVING. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND THE CARS AROUND THEM. IT'S A DISGRACE AND I THINK THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND DIDN'T PREPARE TO HAVE THE PARTS READY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I JUST HOPE NO ONE DIES (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

I BOUGHT MY JEEP LAST YEAR SOMETIME IN TOWARDS THE END OF MARCH. IT WAS TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER I STARTED TO NOTICED THE LEATHER ON MY FRONT DASHBOARD STARTING TO LIFT AND BUBBLE IN SOME AREAS. BY THE END OF THE SUMMER U HAVE MASSIVE AREAS THAT ARE STARTING TO BUNCH UP ALL OVER MY DASHBOARD. AS I STARTED TO LOOK THE PROBLEM UP DUE TO IVE NEVER SEEN A DASHBOARD DO THIS BEFORE. IVE COME TO LEARN THIS IS A ISSUE ON ALOT OF JEEPS MY YEAR AND JEEP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I BROUGHT IT TO A UPHOLSTERY SHOP AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ALOT ON THE JEEP OF MY YEAR AND THAT JEEP WONT DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. THEN THE SHOPS SAYS ITS GONNA COST ALMOST 4-6 THOUSAND TO REPAIR DUE TO THE LEATHER ON THE DASH IS SHRINKING AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD.
