2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO TO A STOP THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNS OFF THEN MUST BE PUT INTO PARK TO RESTART. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH AND IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

CAR RANDOMLY STALLED OUT THIS MORNING WHILE BRAKING MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. NO LIGHTS OR WARNING JUST NOTICE IT WAS OFF DUE TO THE POWER STEERING NOT RESPONDING.

ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FLICKER OR SHUT OFF AND SMELLED LIKE WIRES WHERE BURNING. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE BRAKING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO SHUT OFF AS WELL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUNTINGTON BEACH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (16701 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92647, 714-841-3999) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IF THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE SPORADICALLY OCCURRED THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

THE PUSH START WON'T START THE VEHICLE AND VEHICLE STALLS. I BROUGHT IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND GAVE ME A QUOTE OF THE COST TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY TURNED OFF; HOWEVER, THE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT IT TOOK TWO ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,425.

PURCHASED 5/19. REPORTED ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING TO NHTSA. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR BRAKE RECALL. TECH SAID AIR IN BRAKE LINES MAY HAVE CAUSED PROBLEM. DID NOT STALL FOR A MONTH AND ASSUMED SOLVED. STARTED AGAIN IN AUGUST. VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. STALLS WHEN SLOWING FOR RIGHT HAND TURNS AND LEFT TURNS CROSSING TRAFFIC WHICH ALMOST GOT ME INTO A CRASH ON A HIGHWAY. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SAME ISSUE AND NO RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER. CANNOT TAKE PASSENGERS AS THIS IS A PENDING DISASTER AND IS UNSAFE

THE LEATHER COVERING ON THE DASH CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD IS PULLING LOOSE AND BUCKLING CAUSING THE DEFROST VENTS TO PULL UP WHICH IS CREATING A PROBLEM DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. WE HAVE NOT USED ANY TYPE OF CLEANER OR LEATHER POLISH ON THIS EITHER. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE 2011 JEEP'S HAVE THIS ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE MANUFACTURE IS GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED BUT THE PATCH "FIX" JEEP DOES DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY AND THEY KNOW THIS. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH DOES NOT SEND CORRECT SIGNAL TO FUEL PUMP. ON START CAR WILL NOT START OFTEN BECAUSE IT IS NOT RECEIVING ANY FUEL. I AM AFRAID THIS CHEAP "FIX" JEEP CAME UP WITH WILL CAUSE THE FUEL TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE BIGGEST DEFECT WITH THE CAR IS THE V-8 HEMI CAM SHAFT AND LIFTERS. EVERY MECHANIC I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TOO HAS SAID THAT JEEP KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING WHICH WITH THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSE ME TO JUST ABOUT HAVE A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC WHO FOUDN A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE & PERFORMED A TUNE UP AND HE SAID I NEEDED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO JEEP AS THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE SEVER PROBLEMS. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO "DIGANOSE" THE PROBLEM AND REPORTED BACK THAT THE LIFTERS AND CAM SHAFT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A BAD PROBLEM FOR JEEP THE LIFTERS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY WILL NOT ADMIT IT IS A PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND NOW LOOKIN G AT REBUILDING AN ENGINE AND JEEP WILL ONLY PROVIDE 2 YEAR WARRANTY OR THE WORK, WHICH SHOWS THEY HAVE NO TRUST IN THE FIX AND THERE IS A FATAL FLAW WITH THE V-8 HEMI. PLEASE FORCE JEEP TO HONOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND CORRECT THE KNOWN MISTAKES WITH THEIR ENGINES.

A LITTLE WHILE AFTER A YEAR OF PURCHASING OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE LEATHER DASHBOARD STARTED RIPPLING AND DE-LAMINATING. SINCE THEN, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. IT STARTED ON THE FAR RIGHT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT HAS SINCE DE-LAMINATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CORNER AND ALONG THE CENTER DEFROSTING COVER. DUE TO THE DASHBOARD BEING MADE OF LEATHER, ONCE IT DE-LAMINATED THE SHRINKING PROCESS BEGAN AND WILL ONLY GET WORSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH COUNTLESS JEEPS WITH LEATHER INTERIOR. I AM ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.
