What 1,637 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt

Engine stalls without warning causing full loss of power, including power steering and ability to brake properly... ends in engine failure as well. This has resulted in MULTIPLE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AND LATELY IT CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CURB AND DAMAGED FRONT RIGHT WHEEL.. WILL IT BE ANOTHER CAR AND A CRASH NEXT TIME!???

MY FAMILY IS SCARRED AND MY WIFE DOES NOT TRUST DRIVING THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY AFTER NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER WE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER STATING VEHICLE CAN STALL BUT THERE'S NO SOLUTION!!!! WHEN THE JEEP STALLED I DROVE INTO A DITCH UNABLE TO OVER POWER THE ALL OF A SUDDEN TIGHT STEERING AND NOW I HAVE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS!

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.
