2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

QUADRALIFT SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAS A HIGH PROPENSITY FOR FAILURE. THIS RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE/UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION. 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ARE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. A DESIGN DEFECT IN THIS SYSTEM HAS CAUSED THE HIGH FAILURE RATE. EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE OR VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. THE VEHICLE IS NOT ROAD WORTHY AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THIS SYSTEM. HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH JEEP HQ......HOPING TO GET SOME SUPPORT FOR NOT JUST MY FAILED VEHICLE BUT THE 10-15% OF JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MODE OF FAILURE.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. COLLIDED WITH TREE, MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE. NO POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED, SEAT BELTS DID NOT TENSION. VEHICLE HAD STALLED PREVIOUSLY AND TAKE TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED IGNITION COILS AND SAID PROBLEM WAS FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF WITH NO WARNING. SINCE DECEMBER UNTIL NOW, IT HAS DONE THIS A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. 3 OF THE TIMES EITHER MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY OR GETTING OFF OF THE FREEWAY. SCARES ME SO MUCH. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE ANYONE CRASH FROM THE BEHIND. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, AND THE BRAKES BECOME VERY HARD TO PUSH DOWN ON. ITS HARD TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC.

TODAY, MONDAY, MARCH 6TH, 2017; I WAS DRIVING TO WORK; A COUPLE OF MILES FROM MY HOUSE MY VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY FOR ME, IT WAS A LOW-SPEED AREA AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY TRUCK DID NOT TURN ON AGAIN DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED A TOW AND IT TOOK IT TO A SHOP. I LEFT THE TRUCK THE ENTIRE DAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING IT WORKED AGAIN AND THAT APPARENTLY THERE WAS A MAL-FUNCTION WITH THE RELAY SYSTEM. THEY SAID THE GAS-PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND SUDDENLY WHEN THEY WERE CHECKING THE TPIM IT WORKED BY ITSELF. THEY COULD ONLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A MORE PROFOUND CHECK. I RECALLED I GOT A CARFAX NOT SO LONG AGO AND GOING BACK TO IT I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TPIM FAILURES... THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WITH A VERY HIGH RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I WORK IN MANUFACTURING SUPPLYING PARTS TO DIFFERENT OEM'S AND IN THE PFMEA (POTENTIAL FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS) THIS WOULD HAVE A SEVERITY OF 10!!! I WILL FILE ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND WILL CALL THE NHTS TO GET MY TPIM REPLACED ASAP! I REALLY HOPE THEY CAN MAKE THIS QUICKLY. IF I CAN GET ANOTHER CAR I WILL DO BUT I WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY ON THE TRUCK FOR SURE.
