2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM 50 MPH TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. AS I WAS ENTERING THE TURN, AT ABOUT 30 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL DASH LIGHTS STILL FUNCTIONAL, RADIO WAS STILL ON, TURN SIGNAL STILL ON. THERE WAS NO SPUTTERING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING (AND ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL WHILE IN "RUN" MODE). SHIFTED TO "NEUTRAL", BUT IT WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT IN "PARK". PULLED TO THE SIDE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN "PARK". STARTED LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE SHUTDOWN, THERE ARE NO SERVICE LIGHTS OR OBD II CODES STORED IN COMPUTER. WAS USING THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER, THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY POCKET.

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND EVENTUALLY STALLS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES

ON JUNE 5, 2016 @ 2:00AM I WAS AWAKENED BY POPPING SOUNDS FROM OUTSIDE. I GOT UP TO SEE AN ORANGE BALL OF LIGHT, I WENT TO THE WINDOW AND FELT THE HEAT FROM IT AND SEEN MY JEEP WAS ON FIRE. IF NOT FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWING UP MY HOUSE WOULD HAVE LIKELY BURNED ALSO. THE CAR WAS PARKED UNDER THE CARPORT IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NO ONE WAS DRIVING IT THE PREVIOUS DAY.

DRIVING W ON 60 IN AZ, 30 MINS AFTER HAVING OIL CHANGED AT LOCAL AUTO CARE SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE BUT MY RADIATOR HOSES LOOKING SOFT. CONSIDER GETTING G NEW ONES IN THIS 112 DEGREE HEAT (LIKE THE DAY I'M SUBMITTING THIS). ON FREEWAY, ENGINE OVERHEATS, STALLS, STEERING LOCKS, BRAKES HARDEN AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN AN INCONVENIENT 2 INCHES OFF THE CURB, STILL IN EVERYONE'S WAY AS THEY ATTEMPT TO EXIT MILL AVE. BRAKES HARD AND DOESNT ALLOW FOR PUSH-TO-START BUTTON TO TURN OVER. NOR TO PLACE IN NEUTRAL. STANDING BY FOR A TOW AS WE SPEAK. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. COOLANT JUST TOPPED OFF THREE DAYS AGO AND GIVEN AN OKAY AFTER OIL CHANGE HALF HOUR PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. PERHAPS COINCIDENCE. PERHAPS JUST LIFE. REPORTING EITHER WAY.

THIS JEEP HAS THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER. I VERY RARELY DRIVE IT AS IT IS MY WIFES CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE TODAY IN A POURING RAIN. I PUSHED THE SHIFTER ALL THE WAY FORWARD INTO PARK, HIT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF BUTTON, GRABBED THE KEY FOB, AND STEPPED OUT THE DOOR. TO MY HORROR I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING IN REVERSE. I HAD TO RUN SEVERAL STEPS AND DIVE INTO THE CAR AND PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN WITH MY LEFT HAND AND SHIFT IT INTO PARK WITH MY RIGHT HAND. THE PARKING LOT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE INCLUDING MANY CHILDREN. HAD I NOT GOTTEN LUCKY AND STOOPED THE VEHICLE, THEIR COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY. I KNOW FROM THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL BEING CONSIDERED ON THIS DEADLY SHIFTER. IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH. I BEG YOU TO PRESSURE CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY BY SOMEONE NOT USED TO IT. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH A RESPONSE. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
