2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

P54 / NHTSA 14V-530 WAS ADDRESSED BACK IN 2014 HOWEVER I STILL EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT STALLING DURING START UP OR BRAKING. ISSUE TYPICALLY HAPPENS IN COLDER WEATHER. DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG BUT SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO ISSUES LISTED IN P54 / NHTSA 14V-530.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO TREMBLE AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN IN TRAFFIC. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW MULTI-DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM, LIFTERS, AND CYLINDERS WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS FILED; HOWEVER, A PARTS SPECIALIST WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO RESPOND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,005.

FAULTY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT TIME THE HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY FAILED CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS 8 MONTHS AGO NOW THIS.

I HAVE A 5.7 HEMI IN MY JEEP. THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN, AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF OF A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A SPEED ZONE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. THE VEHICLE GIVES NO WARNING THAT IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. OUR LOCAL JEEP DEALER DID SOME DIAGNOSTICS, BUT FOUND NOTHING. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO THE 5.7 ENGINES. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING THE CAR WITH ANYONE IN IT FOR FEAR OF GETTING REAR ENDED IF IT STALLS, AND PEOPLE ARE BEHIND ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING OVER 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED.

ALL LIGHTS BEGAN RANDOMLY FLASHING, WIPERS WENT ON AT VARYING SPEEDS, POWER SEATS WERE MOVING, TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING GEARS INAPPROPRIATELY. WHEN THIS STARTED I WAS ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME. THE VEHICLE STALLED THREE TIMES AND WAS HARDER TO START AFTER EACH STALL. UPON ARRIVING HOME AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF, THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THR PAST WEEK NOW I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT ARE BACKUP FOR THIS WEEK.
