1. NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORK. I CANNOT USE THE CONTROLS TO CHANGE CHANNELS ON MY RADIO OR INCREASE / LOWER THE VOLUME. I CANNOT USE THE TELEPHONE HANDS FREE CONTROLS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A PHONE CALL... 2. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. REGARDLESS OF WHAT CAR DOOR IS OPENED 3. LIGHT CAME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF. THE LIGHT WAS A PICTURE OF A CAR WITH TWO SQUIGGLY LINES BEHIND IT. I TRIED PRESSING THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON ON THE DASH BOARD PANEL ALONGSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL HEATER BUTTON. BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. 4. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF (HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUSE IN ORDER TO STOP THE WIPERS). I TRIED SQUIRTING THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID --- BUT IT WILL NOT WORK. MY REAR WINDOW WIPER WILL NOT TURN ON.... EVEN THOUGH I TRIED TO TURN IT ON SEVERAL TIMES. 5. I HAVE NO TURN SIGNALS. THEY WOULD NOT COME ON NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I FLIPPED THE LEVER UP OR DOWN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE 6. MY HORN DOES NOT WORK - MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE 7. MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT GO TO HIGH BEAM EVEN THOUGH THE DIAL IS SET TO AUTO. NOT TO MENTION MY WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (LEAKS LOTS OF WATER WHEN RAINING) REPLACED --- STEERING CONTROL MODULE (PART # 1HE80HL9AF) - ACCORDING TO NORTHWEST JEEP IN BEAVERTON OREGON THAT WAS THE ISSUE -NOT DID NOT FIX A SINGLE ISSUE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (PART # 68244852AA) - ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS PART ALSO NEEDS REPLACED (SEEMS THAT PART OF TH TIPM WAS REPLACED - THE WHOLE UNIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED.) WE ARE EXTREMELY UPSET AND DISPLEASED WITH CHRYSLER.... FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF THE PARTS THEY USED WHEN BUILDING MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. WE BOUGHT THIS 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND IN JUNE 2015 AND FOR BEING 4 YEARS OLD, IT SHOULD NOT BEING HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS!!!

VEHICLE HAD EXTERNAL FUEL RELAY INSTALLED OVER A YEAR AGO BY DEALER. THIS VEHICLE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL RELAY. NOW VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES - ENGINE STOPPING FOR NO REASON, EVEN WHILE DRIVING - AS DESCRIBED IN THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM. VERY DANGEROUS AND THE "FIX" BY FCA, APPEARS TO NOT BE A PERMANENT FIX.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT LEFT FRONT SPINDLE BROKE CAUSING ME TO HIT A WALL. MY SPEED WAS UNDER 4MPH.THIS BREAK RESULTED IN THE BENDING OF LF FRONT STRUT,LF OUTTER TIE ROD ALONG WITH OTHER PROBLEMS. IF BREAK HAD OCCURED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO PRESSURE IN THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND PULLED OVER. AT FIRST, THINKING THIS WAS A SCARY, ISOLATED INCIDENCE, I DROVE ON THE THREE BLOCKS TO THE GROCERY STORE. AT THE GROCERY STORE, I STOPPED IN THE PARKING LOT TO LET ANOTHER VEHICLE PULL OUT AND A WOMAN CROSS FROM HER CAR TO THE STORE. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD FROM A DEAD STOP. I THREW IT IN NEUTRAL AND USED MY E-BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT I COULD HAVE RUN OVER A PEDESTRIAN. I WALKED FROM THE STORE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT UNTIL THEY SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT AND AM SERIOUSLY AFRAID THAT SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE FIRST TIME, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING VERY SLOWLY FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. MY VEHICLE REMAINS IN THE SHOP AT THIS TIME BUT I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH WHATEVER THEY FIND.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND ALIGNED TWICE TO PREVENT THE FAILURE, BUT THE TREAD WEAR RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER GUARANTEED THAT THE TIRE LIFE LASTED 60,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE TIRE LINE WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT WHILE MAKING A TURN, MY POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING AND I AM UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. I CAN'T PUSH THE BRAKES OR GAS AND IT JUST STOPS. BOTH TIMES, I HAVE PUT IT IN PARK AND HIT THE START BUTTON. THE CAR STARTS BACK UP FINE. IT'S VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC.
