2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Visibility Problems

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the blower fan had become defective; as a result, the defroster failed to operate as needed. The contact initially took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who could not diagnose the failure. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the relay had burned out causing the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) to fail. The contact was then given an estimate for the repair of the fan, the relay, and the TIPM. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

LEATHER DASH IS BUBBLING AND PEELING WHICH IS CAUSING DASH MOUNTED WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENTS TO BE BLOCKED. BLOCKED VENTS CAN NOT PROVIDE HEAT TO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING ICE BUILD-UP ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING COLD WINTER MONTHS. THIS RESULTS IN BLOCKED/IMPAIRED VISION WHILE ON THE ROADWAY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE LEATHER DASH HAS ALSO BUBBLED OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH COULD AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG DURING A CRASH.

THE LEATHER COVERING THE TOP OF DASH UNDER WINDSHIELD HAS COME LOOSE, DISLODGING THE DEFROSTER VENT AND BLOCKING AIRFLOW FROM THE DEFROSTER. DEFROSTER VENT CANNOT BE RESEATED BECAUSE OF MIS-SHAPED LEATHER. WHILE DRIVING DURING EARLY MORNING, CONDENSATION ON WINDSHIELD COULD NOT BE CLEARED BY DEFROSTER BECAUSE NO AIRFLOW WAS REACHING THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND PULL THE LEATHER AWAY FROM THE VENT OPENING TO ALLOW WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT CANNOT TELL ME WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED. THEY WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE LEATHER STARTED COMING LOOSE 2 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN ONLINE JEEP FORUMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL VINYL SHOP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIX WITHOUT REMOVING THE WINDSHIELD; WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT BREAKING IT. NEW WINDSHIELD FOR OVERLAND MODEL WITH RAIN SENSOR IS OVER $1,000. WINTER IS APPROACHING, BUT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF ICE AND SNOW BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.

I TOOK MY 2011 GRAND CHEROKEE TO THE DEALER FOR THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF RECALLS SO I ASKED THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. RECALLS WERE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND TO THE SUN VISOR (WHICH APPARENTLY CAN SHORT-CIRCUIT AND CAUSE A FIRE). THERE WAS A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE TIPM ALSO SO I GOT THAT DONE TOO. 3 WEEKS LATER, I GET ON MY CAR, I PUT THE IGNITION TO ON AND THE WIPERS WENT ON, I TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND I COULDN'T. THIS IS A LIST OF ALL THE SYMPTOMS: - TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING - REAR WIPER NOT WORKING - FRONT WIPERS ON - TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND NO WAY TO TURN IT BACK ON - BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOT WORKING, NONE OF THEM, EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT CONTROL THE RADIO - HEATED STEERING WHEEL, TOW/HAUL, TRACTION CONTROL AND 110V PLUG SWITCHES NOT RESPONDING - INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT WORKING - HEADLIGHTS WORKED BUT NO WAY TO CONTROL HIGH OR LOW BEAMS I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, FOUND THAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME OF THEM SAID THAT THEY HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY LEAVING THE BATTERY UNPLUGGED OVERNIGHT, IT DIDNT WORK. I TOOK THE WIPERS OUT (SINCE I COULDN'T TURN THEM OFF) AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS). THEY'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS ALREADY, YESTERDAY THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THEY WERE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINATE THE ISSUE BUT THAT IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE TIPM. I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST TO GET FIXED BUT THE TRUTH IS, I GOT THIS CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, LOOKED PERFECTLY FINE, VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND NOW I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET TO GET THIS THING RESOLVED. READING ON THE FORUMS I HAVE ALSO BECOME AWARE OF THE BIG SAFETY ISSUES THAT A FAULTY TIPM MAY CAUSE, READ OF PEOPLE'S CARS STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC! I AM REALLY CONCERNED NOW ABOUT MY SAFETY AND I WISH I DIDN'T BUY THIS CAR.

THE OVERSIZED SIDEVIEW MIRRORS, ABSOLUTELY BLOCK THE VIEW OF APPROACHING OR STOPPED VEHICLES, AT AN INTERSECTION, CAUSING DRIVER AND PASSENGER TO HAVE TO MOVE HEADS TO SEE AROUND THEM , WHICH IN MOST CASES DOES NOT HELP TO VIEW THE APPROACHING OR STOPPED TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE UNDER 2 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD 3 NEAR COLLISIONS , FROM THE VERY LARGE MIRRORS, THAT ARE FACTORY INSTALLED ON THIS MODEL JEEP. THE MIRRORS ARE IN THE POSITION ON THE SIDE WINDOWS , THAT ABSOLUTELY BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VIEW! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS , AND WE ARE AFRAID WE ARE GOING TO BE KILLED BY GETTING HIT FROM A VEHICLE THAT IS HIDING IN THE VIEW WE SHOULD HAVE OF THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC! WE WANT JEEP TO REPLACE OR MOVE THE MIRRORS TO A SAFER LOCATION FOR SAFETYS SAKE, BEFORE WE ARE KILLED. PLEASE CHECK THESE OUT YOURSELF. ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED MODEL 2011.

I RECEIVED NOTICE BY MAIL IN DECEMBER THAT MY 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAD A RECALL (P36 SUN VISOR WIRING) AND THERE WAS A RISK OF FIRE DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO DADELAND DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN MIAMI, FL TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS BEING REPAIRED AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS CALLED TO GO PICK IT UP BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD BEEN DONE AND THE CAR WAS GOOD AS NEW. FAST FORWARD TO TUESDAY, APRIL 14TH AND I AM DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. MY CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE AND I COULD NOT BREATHE IN THE CAR. I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THE FIRE WAS COMING FROM SO I STARTED OPENING ALL THE WINDOWS AND NOTICED THERE WAS A FIRE BY THE SUN VISOR. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD DISABLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE SUNROOF TO LET THE SMOKE OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRULY FEARED FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE THE CAR HAD FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE SUN VISOR WAS COMPLETELY BURNED. THE FIRE COULD HAVE BURNED ME HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY AND UNABLE TO STOP. I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT I DID MY PART, TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE RECALL FIXED, AND WAS RETURNED A CAR THAT WAS CLEARLY NOT FIXED. THIS FIRE COULD HAVE SEVERELY INJURED ME AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS MODEL CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS, INCLUDING ONE INVOLVING THE BREAKS, AND TO BE HONEST, I JUST DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I SIMPLY WANT BACK WHAT I PAID FOR THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECTED VEHICLE. *TR
