2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

VEHICLE SHOWS " AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE/REPAIR" MESSAGE SHORTLY AFTER STARTING VEHICLE AND WILL FLASH MESSAGE THROUGHOUT TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. HAS HAD AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP (COAST AUTO IN OREGON) UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX PROBLEM OVER MULTIPLE VISITS. VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO MOVE BETWEEN VEHICLE HEIGHTS OR WILL DROP AND SIT ON WHEELS MAKING IT INOPERABLE. DASH LEATHER IS WRINKLING AND BUBBLING.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I LET OFF THE GAS THINKING THE JEEP WOULD SLOW, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE BY BRAKING (OBVIOUSLY). HOWEVER, I WAS STILL UNABLE TO GO FASTER THAN APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH OR 3000 RPMS. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TWICE BEFORE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS TOLD THE OIL PUMP WAS STUCK ON LOW (?) THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE DESPITE REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE VISITS.

CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT WILL START. STALLS WHILE UNDERWAY STOPPING AT LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. THE LATEST WAS THIS MORNING.

WHEN YOU TURN ON THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LIGHT STAYS SOLID & THE FOG LIGHTS BLINK. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT WILL START OUT FLASHING CORRECTLY & AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS IT WILL START FLASHING FAST WITH NO LIGHT IN THE REAR AT ALL. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER & THEY WANT $1400 TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TIPM. THERE IS NO LESS THAN 15 VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ON HOW TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WHICH MEANS YOU ARE WITHOUT YOUR VEHICLE FOR 2-3 DAYS & YOU DON'T HAVE A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE POLICE FOR NOT USING OUR TURN SIGNALS. THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS LISTED ON YOUR SITE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY A MANDATORY RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED. FOR A CONSUMER HAVING TO PAY $1400 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR WHAT I THINK IS A PRETTY BIG SAFETY ISSUE IS JUST WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE MAINLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER AND WHILE MAKING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (RAINBOW JEEP, 301 RIVER HIGHLANDS BLVD, COVINGTON, LA) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE DRIVESHAFT, OIL PAN, PURGE SOLENOID, EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET AND BOLTS, AND THE FUEL PUMP WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

LEATHER DASHBOARD IS BUBBLING/WRINKLING UP. THE WRINKLES IN THE LEATHER DASH COULD CAUSE AN IRREGULAR PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. JEEP DEALER TATE IN FREDERICK MD REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. JUST GOOGLE FOR THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND WRINKLES IN THE LEATHER DASH. HORROR PICTURES AND STORIES. I AM ONE OF THEM. PLEASE HELP I AM VERY CONCERNED NOW THAT I READ THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN IRREGULAR PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND NOW THE TIPM. THIS CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE ONCE BEFORE DUE TO THE FAULTY COMPUTER SYSTEM. NOW WITH THE TIPM MALFUNCTIONING, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THE BATTERY DISCHARGED SO WE WOULD TAKE IT TO GET CHARGED, THE CAR WOULD WORK FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS LAST TIME, THE CAR NEVER RESTARTED. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM. JEEP CHEROKEES 2012-2014 ARE RECALLED FOR THIS!! WHY AREN'T THE 2011S?

I HAD MY 3 VERY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND WAS HEADING TO TOWN IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. I WENT TO TURN FROM A RURAL ROAD , MAKING A LEFT, ONTO A MAIN ROAD. THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, THE JEEP JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THANK GOD IT WAS NOT A BUSY TIME OF DAY . I WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY 1 OWNER WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND I KEPT THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 5000 MILES, WAS ALWAYS TOLD SEALED TRANSMISSION. TOWED TO HOME THEN 2 WEEKS LATER TOWED TO DAN HEMM GMC JEEP WHERE IT STILL SITS BECAUSE THEY WANT 4800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND I AM ON DISABILITY AND DONT HAVE IT.
