MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE CHRYSLER RECALL P54, WHICH IS THE RECALL FOR 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING, AND IT ALSO ENCOUNTERED NOT START PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT PROBLEM. EVEN THE CAR COULD START, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AGAIN SHORTLY. THE PROBLEM IS RESULTED FROM THE FAULTY TIPM, WHICH IS THE SAME ON BOTH 2011 AND 2012 MODEL. HOWEVER, ONLY THE 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE IS BEING RECALLED. SO I URGE CHRYSLER TO INITIATE A RECALL ON THE 2012 MODEL AS WELL. *TR

WENT FOR RECALL WORK AS SOON AS I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER. HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 MONTHS FOR PARTS AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN AND THERE ONLY RESPONSE WAS, "CALL YOUR DEALER". WHAT GOOD IS IT TO RECALL VEHICLES AND THEN NOT REPAIR THEM? *TR

06/30/2014: CAR WAS CRANING SLOW. OUTCOME: BATTERY REPLACED. BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL AND REPLACED. 08/18/2014: CAR WAS TOWED IN. OUTCOME: FUEL PUMP OVERLAY WAS REPLACED. 09/15/2014: CAR WAS TOWED IN NOT STARTING. OUTCOME: BATTERY REPLACED AND NEW ALTERNATOR REPLACED. LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 09/12/2014 I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE CAR PANEL STARTED FLASHING, VEHICLE SHUT OFF, AND I LOST POWER STEERING. NO CONTROL OF MY CAR. THANKFUL I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. PRECIOUS CARGO. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON IT. AN ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I CAN UNDERSTAND 100K. PLUS 2 BATTERY REPLACES NEEDED WITHIN 2 MONTHS. THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE NOR SAFE. *TR

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE TO COMPLAIN. BUT I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY BRAKE BOOSTER ( WHICH I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT IS, BUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRAKES HAS TO BE IMPORTANT) MONTHS AGO. I REACH OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAYING I RECEIVE THE LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT MY BRAKES AND I NEED THIS FIXED AND THEY SAID WELL THEY ONLY SEND US ONE PART AT A TIME. SO WHEN WE FIX ONE WE HAVE TO SEND THE OLD ONE IN AND WAIT FOR A NEW ONE SO WE WILL PUT YOU ON THE LIST TO GET THE PART. SO I CALLED BACK A MONTH LATER TO FIND OUT THAT THE RECALL PART HAS BEEN RECALLED WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. SO HERE I AM THE END OF SEPTEMBER STILL TRYING TO GET BY BRAKE BOOSTER FIXED, NOT KNOWING IF MY BRAKES WILL FAIL OR NOT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE. MY CAR ISN'T A CHEAP CAR I HAVE PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THIS AND IF SOMETHING ISN'T SAFE THERE IT SHOULD BE FIXED AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN NOT CAN YOU LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE *TR

MY 2012 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE EXPERIENCED BRAKE DIFFICULTIES DURING THE WINTER 2013/2014 TWICE. I BLAMED IT ON THE EXTREME COLD WE WERE EXPERIENCING AT THE TIME. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE BRAKE RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED TO THE MEDIA. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN NOTICE TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR THE REPAIRS. APPROX 1 MONTH LATER THE OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED BY MAIL. I AGAIN CALLED THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME I WAS #12 ON THEIR REPAIR LIST. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE PARTS WERE BEING SENT "A COUPLE AT A TIME" AND THAT IT COULD BE A WHILE. MONTHS LATER, I HAVE CALLED FOR AN UPDATE AND AM STILL #5 ON THE WAITING LIST. I LET THEM KNOW THAT I TRULY HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WINTER WEATHER COMING SOON. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD GET TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE TO OUR CONCERNS...ESPECIALLY HAVING EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. *TR
