2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

1. THE VEHICLES HEAD HAS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BAD VALVES AT ONLY 59,000 MILES. 2. THE FRONT RIGHT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING, AND IS BURNING THE BULB SOCKET AND HEADLIGHT HOUSING. IT WAS DETERMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE TIPM MODULE IS GOING BAD CAUSING SHORTS, AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. (THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A BURNED BULB SOCKET, BUT WE TESTED THE SOCKET, AND ENTIRE SYSTEM AND FOUND THE TRUE PROBLEM) 3. THE HORN STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY, AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT DOES WORK ITS ONLY THE HIGH TONE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO TRACED BACK TO A FAULTY TIPM MODULE.

PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE CURRENT RECALL ON MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND MY JEEP LOST COMPLETE POWER. I STARTED TO PANIC BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO CONTROL MY JEEP. LUCKILY, I WAS ON THE OUTSIDE LANE AND JUST COASTED TO A STOP. THEN, I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHILE I CALLED MY WIFE TO LET HER KNOW SHE WOULD NEED TO COME GET ME. THEN, I WENT TO SEE IF MY JEEP WOULD DRIVE ONE MORE TIME AND IT DROVE OFF JUST FINE. THEN, WHEN I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE I CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO ASK THEM TO FIX MY JEEP DUE TOT HE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS AND WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY COME IN. HOWEVER, NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ON AS WELL AS MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON. I ALSO INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I PUSH ON MY BRAKES IT WILL FEEL AS IF I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. WHEN I LOOK BEHIND ME THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT WOULD INDICATE I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED.

I WAS OUT DRIVING FROM THE GROCERY STORE AND I WAS PRESSING ON THE BREAKS TO TURN A CURVE THE VEHICLE SPEEDED UP. I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING 25 MPH AND STARTED TO SLOW UP BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHING A CURVE BUT INSTEAD OF IT SLOWING DOWN IT SPED UP TO 35MPH WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE. THANK GOD NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. TWO WEEKS LATER MY HUSBAND STATED THAT WHEN HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SAME EXACT THEN HAPPENED TO HIM. AT THAT TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO GILMAN CHRYSLER AND JEEP IN HOUSTON TX WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM (8/10/14). THEY CLAIM THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND AND I KEPT EXPLAINING TO THE SERVICE GUY THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FOR AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE RESOLVED. THE SERVICE GUY STATED THAT THEY DID ALL THEY COULD BUT THEY WILL KEEP OUR INFORMATION ON FILE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS SITUATION. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE THREE CHILDREN IN WHICH ARE IN THIS VEHICLE ALL THE TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE GILMAN CHRYSLER WOULD STATE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART OR THEY DON'T SEE A RECALL AT THIS TIME. I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS NOW BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. I WILL NOT LET THIS SITUATION GO. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR A RESOLUTION UNTIL SOMEONE RESOLVES IT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY ABOUT THIS SITUATION AS THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OUT OF HARMS WAY. I AM IN FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHERE WE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH WAS REPLACED BY RECALL AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL STALLING. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE VIA EMAIL AND BY PHONE AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER. I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DON'T WANT TO SELL THE CAR KNOWING WHOEVER PURCHASES IT COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.
