2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

PASSENGER SEAT BELT IN REAR SEAT ON RIGHT SIDE WILL NOT LATCH. SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT AND WE CANNOT PLACE AND/OR SECURE A CARSEAT IN THIS AREA OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE AND DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE SEATBELT UNDER WARRANTY. PRICES QUOTED TO REPLACE SEAT BELT HAS BEEN BETWEEN $300.00-$350.00 FOR PARTS ONLY AND LABOR WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NO CHARGES!

JEEP WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE P54 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL ON 6/12/15. NEXT MORNING AFTER RETURNING FROM DEALER, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. THIS PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, AND THE ENGINE WOULD SOMETIMES START AFTER 15-30 MINUTES OF TRYING. EVENTUALLY ON 6/15/15 IT WOULDN'T START ALL MORNING SO WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM AND RELEASED CAR BACK TO ME DOING NOTHING. INTERMITTENT NO START CONTINUED FOR WEEKS, CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON 7/6/15 AND THEY REPLACED WIN MODULE, ANOTHER COMPONENT OF IGNITION SYSTEM. NEXT MORNING, 7/7/15, CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. INTERMITTENT CRANK/NO START CONDITION CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR WEEKS, CAR TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON 7/22/15. THIS TIME DEALER SPENT ALMOST 3 WEEKS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. FIRST, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (THE RECALL PART ALREADY REPLACED ONCE) WAS DETERMINED TO BE FAULTY AND WAS REPLACED. THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND THE TIPM WAS SAID TO BE CAUSING THE CONDITION, AND WAS REPLACED ON 8/10/15. JEEP WORKED FOR A WEEK UNTIL TODAY, 8/15/15, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY LONG ISLAND ROAD CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING ~30 MPH. MY WIFE AND OUR 4 MONTH OLD BABY WERE IN THE CAR, AND I WAS SOMEWHAT TERRIFIED. THERE WAS TRAFFIC SURROUNDING US, AND I WAS LEFT WITH NO POWER TO THE BRAKES OR STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS ALREADY IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER SLOWLY WITHOUT INCIDENT. IF THERE HAD BEEN A RED LIGHT OR SUDDEN BRAKING IN FRONT OF ME HOWEVER, THE SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. AFTER PULLING OVER, CAR CRANKED/NO START AS IT HAS PREVIOUSLY FOR THE PAST MONTHS, AND DID SO FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL FINALLY STARTED AND DROVE IT HOME. I HAVE HAD OUR JEEP IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, BUT WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM! I AM AT MY WITS END, AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

AUGUST 9, 2015, LEFT HOME IN MY JEEP AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY FOR A HALF MILE THAN NOTED A SEVERE SMELL INSIDE . TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME THINKING THAT OIL IS LEAKING AND BURNING. AUGUST 10, 2015, DROVE TO WORK APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES. AT WORK, ON THE PARKING LOT I LOWERED THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED THE CAUSE OF YESTERDAY'S SMELL. THERE IS A LARGE BURNED OUT HOLE IN THE ROOF LINER. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IN THE PAST. IT WAS APPARENTLY FIXED BY MY DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 4, 2014. HOWEVER, IT LOOKS CLEARLY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AT THE MOMENT, I AM A BIT TRAUMATIZED BY THIS APPARENT FIRE DANGER.
