EVERY MORNING WHEN I START MY VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK. I NEED TO CRANK IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL AT SOME POINT IT STARTS. I WENT FOR SERVICE FOR RECALLS IN MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2019. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, R09. EVEN THOUGH THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET WITH THE PARTS IN STOCK. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING THIS INCONVENIENCE EVERYDAY. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY 495 IN MARYLAND WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS IN MY CAR CAME ON AND THEN TURNED OFF. AFTER THAT MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ABS LIGHT AND A LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT WHERE MY SPEED IS DISPLAYED STARTED FLASHING. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AFTER ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON ALL OF THE LIGHTS KEPT FLASHING AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND MY CAR WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START. OFF AND ON MY CAR KEEPS TELLING MY TO CHECK MY GAS CAP EVEN THOUGH I'VE REPLACED IT AND IT'S ALWAYS ON THERE TIGHTLY.

THE HEADREST ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VIOLENTLY POPPED (EXPLODED) WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT CAUSE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT PRODUCED A LOUD STARTLING NOISE AND STRUCK MY DAUGHTERS HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AN INTERNAL PLASTIC MECHANISM IN THE HEADREST APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN AND NOW THE HEADREST IS PERMANENTLY IN THE POPPED POSITION.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE KEY FOB, AFTER LOCKING THE CAR THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK AGAIN WITH OUT MY CONTROL. THEN MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCURRED, THE LIGHTS FLICKERED, THE REAR CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, AND THEN DRIVING THE CAR EVENTUALLY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE 405 FREE WAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER WITH OUT POWER STEERING.

RIGHT FRONT "ACTIVE" HEADREST, WHICH IS PART OF THE SUPPLEMENT RESTRAIN SYSTEM, FAILED AT 59,000 MILES FOR NO REASON. THE PLASTIC LATCH JUST BROKE; APPEARS TO BE TOO SMALL. CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME THE HEADREST FAILED. REPLACEMENT COST $900.

WHEN AT A STOP AND THEN ACCELERATE THERE IS A LARGE CLICKING NOISE-LIKE SOMETHING ISN'T CATCHING-I AM TOLD I NEED A NEW DRIVE SHAFT-WHICH ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 MONTHS-

I HAVE A 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4 AND HAD A TICKING NOISE WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT OFF THAT COMES AND GOES AWAY. WE HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED TO BE THE TRANSFER CASE MODULE AND WHEN RESEARCHING TO SEE IF I CAN BUY THE PART, I WAS ADVISED IT'S ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH THE DEALER AND AFTERMARKET. ALSO WHILE RESEARCHING, SAW MULTIPLE REPORTS STATING THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES AND MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY VEHICLE IS USED FOR WORK AND DRIVEN ALL DAY ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE ALSO READ THAT THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS AND THEN IT'S BLOWN OUT AND UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL FIXED. I WORRY ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ALL AS I DON'T WANT IT STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE. I WORRY IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT I CAN'T PREVENT AS THE VEHICLE MAY JUST SUDDENLY STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. BEEN A REOCCURRING ISSUE FOR MYSELF FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO.

TRIED TO START MY JEEP IT WOULDN'T START. I USED THE PUSH BUTTON. I WAITED A FEW HRS AND TRIED AGAIN. SAME ISSUE. TRIED MY REMOTE START. STARTED UP. NEXT DAY USED THE PUSH START, STARTED UP NO PROBLEM, ON THE HIGHWAY (95) THE TRUCK WAS HESITATING WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE. NEXT DAY PUSH START WON'T WORK, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER AS USUAL BUT WOULDN'T START. REMOTE START AND IT STARTED UP. SON TOOK IT AND PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSIS MACHINE AND SAID THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES. RESEARCHING A HARD STARTING PROBLEM I'VE READ TONS OF POSTS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED. I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. ASKED COULD IT POSSIBLY BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT MY TRUCK WAS RE CALLED ON ALREADY. HE SAID MIGHT BE R09 FUEL RELAY RECALL, TIMP PROBLEM, (RECALL WAS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO INSTALL A FUEL PUMP HARNESS BYPASS SO THAT THE FUEL PUMP TURNS OFF) BUT THAT IF IT IS, THE DEALER SAID THEY ALREADY REPLACED THAT AND WILL NOT DO AGAIN UNLESS IT IS PD FOR, AFTER THEY PUT THE JEEP ON THEIR DIAGNOSIS MACHINE AT $175.00 PER HR. SO AFTER THEY COMPLETED THE 9TH RECALL I PICK UP MY JEEP WITH HOPES THAT I COULD DO MORE RESEARCH. I ALSO CALLED JEEP. THE LADY WAS VERY NICE BUT THEY WILL DO NOTHING EXCEPT ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THEIR SYSTEM. I FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO! JEEP/CHRYSLER HAVE PUT FAULTY TIMP IN THESE CARS AND DO NOT WANT TO PUT A RECALL OUT ON THEM. MANY CARS WITH MY MODEL HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THE FAULTY TIMP HAS THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING CONSTANTLY WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY IT RUNS WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. NOW IF I 'TRY' TO START THE VEHICLE IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE A TIMP PROBLEM AND NOW AM AWARE THAT I AM NOT ALONE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE JEEP OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
