I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING FUEL IN MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE XJ. BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO FUEL UP, TWICE I HAVE SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER MYSELF AND ONCE I HAD THE RENTS MYSELF WITH WATER. MY WARNING LIGHT IS A NOW ON . NOW THE CAPLESS FUEL CAP ASSEMBLY CAME OFF WHILE I WAS FEELING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FEEL UP ANYMORE MAKING THE CAR USELESS UNTIL REPAIRED

THIS 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE EGR SYSTEM (RECALL W79). ON DECEMBER 29, 2020, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER (TURNERSVILLE JEEP) FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 12 2021. THIS DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. THIS DEALER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE EGR SYSTEM UNDER THE W79 RECALL, BUT DID REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL TUBES AFTER FINDING THE FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED. THIS DEALER THEN CLEARED THE DTC P026C-00 AND PERFORMED A STATIONARY REGENERATION. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AT 5:15 PM ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2021 AND PROCEEDED TO ROAD TEST THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES OF DRIVING, I SUFFERED A EXTEME AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM; THE DASH INDICATORS INCLUDED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN ERROR REGARDING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND AN ERROR THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AS I COASTED TO A STOP, SMOKE BEGAN TO RAPIDLY POUR FROM THE HOOD COVER AND BEGAN TO ENTER THE CABIN THROUGH THE HVAC VENTS. I VACATED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND UNDER SOME DURESS. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND I COULD SEE IT CONTINUE TO ENTER THE CABIN. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED BY FLATBED TO PELLEGRINO JEEP. I SPOKE WITH THE PELLEGRINO JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I OPENED CASE #78239258 WITH FCA (JEEP) US LLC CUSTOMER SERVICE. AS OF JANUARY 20 AT 11:30 AM, I DO NOT HAVE FEEDBACK ON THIS CASE. THE DEALER HAS ALSO PROVIDED NO COMMITMENT TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED A FAILURE DUE TO THE INABILITY OF FCA AND IT'S DEALERS TO REMEDIATE RECALL W79.

VEHICLE FIRE - WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ECODIESEL, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ON A CITY STREET AND SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE QUICKLY FILLED THE CABIN WITH CHEMICALS AND SMOKE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS AND LUCKILY, DUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES, THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BEFORE MYSELF AND THE OTHER OCCUPANT WERE BURNT UP IN THE CAR. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF INVESTIGATIONS BY THE DEALERSHIP AND FIAT CHRYSLER, THERE IS STILL NO DETERMINATION OF THE CAUSE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD AND THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. *DT*JB *DT *DT *TR *DT *TR*JB

THE VEHICLE WAS AT A FULL STOP IN A LINE OF CARS TO PICK UP CHILDREN FOR SCHOOL. LET OFF BRAKE TO "INCH" FORWARD, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY FULLY ACCELERATED. BRAKE DID NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR IN FRONT WAS HIT CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AROUND THAT VEHICLE AND THEN JUMPED A CURB BEFORE BEING ABLE TO HALT THE VEHICLE AND KILL THE ENGINE. NARROWLY ESCAPED KILLING OF SCHOOL CHILDREN AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! THE IMAGES ATTACHED WILL SHOW THAT THIS WAS THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION THAT OCCURRED WITHIN JUST A FEW FEET OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN FRONT. IT WAS NOT HUMAN ERROR THAT LED TO THIS CRASH. PLEASE EXERCISE DUE DILIGENCE IN INVESTIGATING THIS, SO AS TO PREVENT FUTURE TRAGEDY! ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF UPDATED 9/28/18*JB
