THE CAR STARTED OUT WITH INTERMITTANT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING OF DOORS, HORN HONKING AND SIDE WINDOW UNRESPONSIVENESS. IT HAS GRADUATED TO DAILY INTERMITTANT IGNITION ISSUES WHILE STATIONARY AND STALLING ISSUES WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WITH A BAD TIPM. I HAVE ALSO BEEN NORIFIED THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN DENIED AND THAT THE NHTSA DOESNT THINK ITS DANGEROUS FOR CARS TO RANDOMLY CUT OFF AND FOR AIRBAGS TO RANDOMLY GO OFF OR NOT GO OFF WHEN NEEDED. THIS ISNT A COMMON "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE AND IS DANGEROUS, SO I AM DISAPOINTED IN YOUR FINDINGS.

CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD R09 / NHTSA 14V-115 COMPLETED TO FIX A FUEL PUMP ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TWICE SINCE THEN AND INFORMED JEEP THAT IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE FUEL PUMP HAS RANDOMLY STOPPED THREE TIMES SINCE THE REPAIR AND IS NOW HAVING INTERMITTENT NO START ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND CLAIMS THERE IS NO ISSUE. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY HOPING IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE READ OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR RESTARTS EACH TIME, BUT IT IS THE FACT THAT IT JUST RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN IT WANTS.

THE AIR SUSPENSION IN THIS JEEP DOESN'T WORK BELOW 22F PER JEEP THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE -20F IS COMMON WHERE WE LIVE. LAST WINTER THE PUMP WOULDN'T INFLATE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CAUSING THE BACK TO BE UP IN THE AIR AND THE FRONT SO LOW THAT I COULDN'T SEE. THE ONLY WAY FOR IT TO START WORKING AGAIN IS TO WAIT FOR THE AIR TO WARM UP OR BRING IT TO A GARAGE. DURING THIS CONDITION YOU CAN HARDLY SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD. I FEEL THIS SHOULDN'T BE A COST FOR ME TO FIX SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYONE DRIVING THIS CARS DURING THE WINTER WHERE I LIVE NORTHERN ND. TSB NUMBER IS 08-034-12. I AM GOING TO MOST LIKELY PAY FOR THIS SINCE I AM SURE BY THE TIME IF ANYTHING IS FIGURED OUT IT WILL BE COLD IN THIS AREA AGAIN.

ON AUG. 29 2017 MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MULLANE MOTORS IN LOCKPORT NY, FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD A SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG SENSOR HAD SHORTED OUT AND NEEDED REPLACING, AND SPENT $332.57 TO HAVE IT FIXED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO PICK UP MY JEEP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SAME SENSOR WAS STILL 'SHORTING OUT' AND THAT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE WAS TO REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. I ASKED WHEN THAT COULD BE COMPLETED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE 'PART IS UNAVAILABLE,' IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, AND THAT IT WAS UNKNOWN WHEN OR IF AT ALL THIS PART WOULD EVER BE AVAILABLE. I TELPHONED FIAT CHRYSLER CORP IN AUBURN HILLS, MI CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT THE PART IS 'CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE AND ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER' WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER, AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CALLED BACK IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I TELEPHONED THE COMPANY AGAIN A WEEK LATER AND WAS AGAIN TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. IT HAS NOW BEEN A WEEK, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM CHRYSLER. AT THIS TIME, MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON, AND IT IS INDICATED IN MY OWNERS MANUAL THAT MY AIRBAGS MAY NOT FUNCTION IN A COLLISION, WHICH I FEEL MAKES MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING FOR MONTHS NOW. NOW IT IS STARTING TO HARD START OR NOT START AT ALL AND CONTINUES TO STALL WHEN I AM DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 10+ TIMES AND THEY HAVE FOUND "NOTHING WRONG" BUT HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THAT HAVE STILL NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE RECREATED EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE KEPT IT FOR A WEEK MULTIPLE TIMES AND PUT HUNDREDS OF ADDITIONAL MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND HEALTH ISSUE WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY FROM 25/35+ MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STALLS AND THERE IS NOT POWER STEARING OR CONTROL AT ALL. IT ALSO "JERKS" SOMETIMES WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL REGARDING SOME 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES BUT THEY SAY NOT MINE. IF I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THIS ISSUE, WHY IS MINE NOT RECALLED AS WELL??? I DO UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER COULD HAVE PLACED A DEFECT PART INTO MINE ALSO. I HAVE ASKED FOR A MONITOR TO BE PLACED ON MY VEHICLE TO "GET THE CODES IF POSSIBLE WHEN IT STALLS" BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD "NO" 2+ TIMES FROM THE DEALER. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO USE WHEN EVER I NEED AND HAVE HAD TO WAIT UP TO 2 WEEKS TO GET IT TO THE DEALER DUE TO DEALER RENTAL AVAILABILITY.

ALTERNATOR / ELECTRICAL ISSUES- NOVEMBER 4, 2016 MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR SON TO SCHOOL WHEN SHE BEGAN GETTING A BURNING SMELL FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER DROPPING OFF MY SON, SHE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SHE CUT THE CAR OFF, INITIALLY THINKING IT JUST OVERHEATED. WE LEFT THE CAR IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT HOPING IT WOULD START UP THE NEXT DAY. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULDN'T START AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, WE LEARNED THAT THE ALTERNATOR SUDDENLY FAILED, DRAINING THE BATTERY AND CAUSING THE ENGINE STALL. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT WITH NO RESPONSE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION.

WHILE DRIVING MAYBE 30MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN MY JEEP IMMEDIATELY WENT DEAD (NO LIGHTS SOUND OR ANYTHING ELSE) AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL JUST ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN IT DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL NOT TURNING AND CAR COMPLETELY DYING. I ATTENDED TO JUMP IT , BUT IT WOULDN'T START EVEN AFTER BEING CONNECTED FOR 20+ MINUTES. WHEN TAKEN OFF THE JUMPER CABLES, IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY DIE AGAIN. DURING THIS TIME, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD START WITHOUT MOVING WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THEM. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND THE TOW TRUCK WAS ALSO UNABLE TO START IT OR PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT ON THE TRUCK . AFTER A COUPLE HOURS, I WAS ABLE TO JUMP START IT WITH MY PORTABLE JUMPER BUT IT DIED COMPLETELY AFTER IT WAS SITTING FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. NOW BEING TOLD IT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CAUSED THIS . I NOTICED ANOTHER RECALL WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT APPARENTLY MINE HAS YET TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL OF THE ALTERNATOR/ELECTRICAL

GOT A LETTER BY MAIL IN REGARDS TO A RECALL FOR MY GRAND CHEROKEE 2012 FOR A ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE AND SUN VISOR WIRING. ON 9-14-17 TOOK JEEP IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALLS TO BE FIXED. GOT JEEP BACK ON 9-15-17 BUT DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT BATTERY WAS NO GOOD. DEALERSHIP OFFER ME A $300 BATTERY WHICH I DECLINE BECAUSE I KNOW BATTERY IS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE AT OTHER PLACES. TOOK NEW BATTERY TO DEALERSHIP AND REPLACE IT BEFORE I LEFT THE SHOP. AT THIS TIME THE SERVICE ADVISOR FROM DEALERSHIP DID NOT GAVE ME ANY EXPLANATION OTHER THAN THEY DON'T HAVE THE RECALL ALTERNATOR BUT THEY PUT A TEMPORARY ONE AND GAVE ME PAPER TO SIGN. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE BATTERY LIGHT TURN ON. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS NORMAL SINCE I HAD JUST REPLACE THE BATTERY. SATURDAY MORNING WHEN I GOT OUT FROM WORK, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE JEEP STOP COMPLETELY ON THE ROAD. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURN ON AND WARM AIR CAME TOO. I HAD TO CALL A FAMILY MEMBER TO COME AND HELP ME MOVE CAR FROM THE ROAD. I CALLED DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND I HAD TO TOW THE JEEP BACK TO DEALERSHIP. ON 9-18-17 DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE PCM MODULE AND THAT IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT$900 TO FIX IT. I FEEL THAT THE REASON WHY MY BATTERY AND PCM MODULE ARE NOT WORKING IS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATOR. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURES ARE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH THE JEEP. RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO MOVE AND NOT KNOWING WHEN THE RECALLS ARE COMING IN BECAUSE THERE'S POOR COMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS. I HAD TO TOWN MY JEEP BACK HOME BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD FIXING THE VEHICLE WHEN I FEEL IS THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS. IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE I DROVE THE JEEP AND GOT IT BACK NOT DRIVABLE. THE DEALERSHIP IPAC IN SAN ANTONIO HAS A VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WOULD NEVER GO BACK FOR ANY SERVICE.
