2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

DASHBOARD IS BUBBLING AND PULLING AWAY FROM ADHESIVE. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE IT........STARTED AS ONE LITTLE BUBBLE AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE LEATHER IS DRYING OUT WHERE IT IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE ADHESIVE. JEEP (MOPAR) CONVERSATION STATED THEY COULD FILE A COMPLAINT BUT NOT HELP IN THE REPAIR COSTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V879000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO FOURTH GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN FOURTH GEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS CYCLED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

1ST THE SENSOR FOR "KEY NOT DETECTED" DISPLAYED.I HAD IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER, IT RETURNED BUT THIS TIME ALL THE SENSORS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DROPPED IN GEAR. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY.THE SPEEDOMETER SHUT DOWN AND THE WIPERS TURNED ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT FINALLY RESTARTED, IT WOULD NOT GET OFF THE PARK GEAR. FINALLY AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. IT DIED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WOULD NOT RESTART .I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. ITS BEEN THERE FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS. THEY SAID THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAVE CALLED THEY'RE TECHS AT THEY'RE CORPORATE HEAD QUARTER'S TO ASSIST THEM. ACCORDING TO MANY FORUMS ON LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE DEALER ADMITTED TO FINDING A MELTED PART. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR THAT THEY CLAIM MY WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER! MY VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY DROPPED IN SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IF THAT'S NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FIRE HAZARD WITH THE DASH OR THE FUSE BOX IS INSANE!! THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR AN ELECTRICAL FIRE TO BREAK OUT DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN. THE VEHICLE IS ELECTRONIC AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FEATURES THAT CHANGES THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANYONE DRIVE IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY DROP THE TRANSMISSION TO 1ST GEAR (HIGH RPM AND DRAMATICALLY DROPS SPEED) AND SEE HOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN YOU CAN CREATE A MAJOR ACCIDENT LIKE I ALMOST DID! THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY VEHICLE STARTING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORST OVER THE PAST WEEK AS THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE BANKING CORNERS OR JUST DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. IT STALLS ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES JUST TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B WHICH IS NORMALLY 2 MILES OR LESS. TWICE SOMEONE ALMOST REAR END ME BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT'S TIME FOR A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE ALL TOGETHER

2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED CAUSING THE REAR DOORS TO NOT LOCK WITH THE CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM. *SMD

ALTERNATOR HAS FAILED. CHARGING FAULT AND BATTERY FAULT LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY BEFORE VEHICLE DIED COMPLETELY. UPON REPLACING BATTERY, VEHICLE STARTED BUT BATTERY DID NOT CHARGE AND DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A STALL IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT SUFFICIENT CHARGE TO POWER HAZARD FLASHERS NECESSITATING A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND REMOVE VEHICLE.

I TOOK MY 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE DEALER FOR THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF RECALLS SO I ASKED THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. RECALLS WERE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND TO THE SUN VISOR (WHICH APPARENTLY CAN SHORT-CIRCUIT AND CAUSE A FIRE). THERE WAS A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE TIPM ALSO SO I GOT THAT DONE TOO. 3 WEEKS LATER, I GET ON MY CAR, I PUT THE IGNITION TO ON AND THE WIPERS WENT ON, I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND I COULDN'T. THIS IS A LIST OF ALL THE SYMPTOMS: - TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING - REAR WIPER NOT WORKING - FRONT WIPERS ON - TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND NO WAY TO TURN IT BACK ON - BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOT WORKING, NONE OF THEM, EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT CONTROL THE RADIO - HEATED STEERING WHEEL, TOW/HAUL, TRACTION CONTROL AND 110V PLUG SWITCHES NOT RESPONDING - INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT WORKING - HEADLIGHTS WORKED BUT NO WAY TO CONTROL HIGH OR LOW BEAMS I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, FOUND THAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME OF THEM SAID THAT THEY HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY LEAVING THE BATTERY UNPLUGGED OVERNIGHT, IT DIDNT WORK. I TOOK THE WIPERS OUT (SINCE I COULDN'T TURN THEM OFF) AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS). THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS ALREADY, YESTERDAY THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THEY WERE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINATE THE ISSUE BUT THAT IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE TIPM. I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST TO GET FIXED BUT THE TRUTH IS, I GOT THIS CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, LOOKED PERFECTLY FINE, VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND NOW I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET TO GET THIS THING RESOLVED. READING ON THE FORUMS I HAVE ALSO BECOME AWARE OF THE BIG SAFETY ISSUES THAT A FAULTY TIPM MAY CAUSE, READ OF PEOPLE'S CARS STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC! I AM REALLY CONCERNED NOW ABOUT MY SAFETY AND I WISH I DIDN'T BUY THIS CAR.

ON MAY 28, 2016 WHILE NAVIGATING MY DRIVEWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK WALL OF MY GARAGE. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY HOME AND MY CAR. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. HITTING THE BRAKE AND TRYING TO HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON DID NOTHING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, ABOUT TWO WEEKS EARLIER, I HAD PARKED THE CAR AT WALMART, PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. WHILE IN PARK AND THE ENGINE OFF, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND BUMPED THE SUV SITTING IN FRONT OF ME. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! I HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO MY LOCAL AUTO DEALERSHIP AND CHYSLER CORP. THE DAMAGE IS BEING REPAIRED AT MY COST.
