2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Brakes Problems

I brought my vehicle to the dealership (Axis Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Jersey City, NJ) for open safety recalls. The vehicle has been at the dealership for approximately 3 weeks. I was repeatedly told parts were coming (alternator and brake booster), but the repairs were never completed. I was later told I could pick up the vehicle, but no documentation was provided and I have reason to believe the recall repairs were not performed. This has caused delays, inconvenience, and safety concerns.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 15-25 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal resistance increased while depressing the brake pedal, which required the brake pedal to be depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that the Emergency Stop Brake engaged unexpectedly while the vehicle was idling and while driving at various speeds. A "Low Battery" message was displayed, and upon inspection, the battery was hot. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed failures with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) communication and the transmission; however, the vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously included in unknown recalls and was taken to the dealer where the recall repairs were performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH and slowing for traffic, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the brake pedal was firm. The contact stated that added force was needed to depress the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. The contact almost had to pull onto the shoulder since the vehicle was not slowing as needed. The contact stated that the word "BRAKES” in red was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the Ready Alert Braking System had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact was advised by the mechanic that the failure was possibly related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V104000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); for the hard brake pedal; however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

Brought my 2013 Jeep grand Cherokee in for braking issues, was told abs module has failed. Dealership/Mopar does not have a replacement part for the module and no aftermarket support is available. As a father with a 2y/o and a newborn, this seems unacceptable that a critical component such as the abs module is no longer available 10yrs later.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE, I BOUGHT MY JEEP NEW IN 2014. IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH READY ALERT BRAKING (RAB). IN 2016 IT FAILED TO STOP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND INJURING MY WIFE. THEN RECENTLY I DISCOVERED THE RAB SYSTEM ON MY CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED (14V104000) BACK IN 2014 AND I HAD NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. AS I REVIEWED THE RECALL CAMPAIGN IT WAS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR IT HAD CAUSED MY WIFE'S 2016 ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. I CONTACT JEEP'S HOTLINE RELATING IN AN ODD QUIRK I HAD RECEIVED WRITTEN PROOF IN AN UNRELATED CORRESPONDENCE FROM CHRYSLER THAT MY 2013 WAS BUILT WITH THE RAB SYSTEM INCLUDED. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO REMEDY THE RECALL OVERSIGHT THEY TOLD ME TO "CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY." A WEEK LATER I TRIED TO RE-EXPLAIN THE FAULT WAS WITH THEIR FACTORY INSTALLED AND RECALLED READY ALERT BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE. BECAUSE THEY WON'T BOTHER TO REVIEW THE PROOF I HOLD NOR BELIEVE THEIR BUILD (VIN) DATA IS WRONG I HAVE NO PLACE TO TURN EXCEPT YOU OR A LEGAL REMEDY. I HOPE YOU CAN MOTIVATE JEEP TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU.

MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH CHRYSLER'S READY ALERT BRAKING SYSTEM (RAB) WHICH CHRYSLER SAYS IS NOT INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO IT'S VIN. THE RAB SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE (WHICH WAS RECALLED UNDER YOUR CAMPAIGN 14V104000) CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES EXACTLY YOU DESCRIBED AS THE REASON FOR YOUR RECALL CAMPAIGN IN THE FIRST PLACE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW AND THE RAB SYSTEM WAS EVEN DEMONSTRATED TO ME BY THE DEALERSHIP SALESPERSON DURING MY ORIGINAL TEST DRIVE. IN ADDITION TO ACCIDENT/MEDICAL REPORTS, THE BROKEN ANKLE BONES COULD ONLY HAVE COME FROM UNFORGIVING HARD BRAKE PEDAL, DURING THE CRASH AS OUR VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP.

INTERMITTENTLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE VERY STIFF WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND BACKING OUT. AFTER A FEW MILES IT WILL EASE UP. BUT IF A SUDDEN STOP IS NEEDED IT IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AGAIN. OTHER TIMES IT FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. I NOTICED THIS ON THE TEST DRIVE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY ISSUES I BOUGHT THIS CAR AROUND MARCH OF 2019. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING INTERMITTENTLY

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IN THE CITY, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ENGINE SHUTDOWN, AND ENTIRELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR (STEERING, BREAKS ETC.) THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER'S CERTIFIED GARAGE, WHERE THE MALFUNCTION WAS IDENTIFIED AS A FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP RELAY (THE SAME RELAY WHICH WAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED, AS PART OF RECALL R09). THE GARAGE ALSO RE-CONFIRMED THAT THIS RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL, IN 2015. THE MEANING OF THIS FAILURE DEMONSTRATES THAT PRACTICALLY, REPLACING THE UNIT UNDER RECALL R09 HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND THE RISK IS STILL THERE! I HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO FCA IN EUROPE, AND WAS RESPONDED THAT THIS FAILURE "COULD HAPPEN IN 5 YEARS OLD CAR" AND THEREFORE, THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THEM TO WARN OTHER OWNERS. HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND ON-LINE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, MOST OF THEM IN THE US, INDICATING THAT THE FAILURE OF THE REPLACED FUEL RELAY IS COMMON, AND THAT FCA DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SEE THE LINK BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/GRANDCHEROKEE/OTHER-FUEL-SYSTEM-PUMP-PROBLEMS.PHP I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT R09 (NHTSA SAFETY ISSUED ID #15V115 HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS?NHTSAID=15V115#RECALLS360) REFERS TO 5 YEARS OLD CARS, AND THE FAILURE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME REPLACED FUEL RELAY, HAD OCCURRED ONLY 3 YEARS LATER, AND THEREFORE, FCA RESPONSE IS IRRATIONAL AND WRONG. SINCE THE EVENT I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY NOR DO I LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE IT. I SIMPLY DON'T TRUST THE CAR ANYMORE. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I LIVE IN ISRAEL AND HAVE AN OFFICE IN FLORIDA. I HAD TO ENTER MY FL ADDRESS AS THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY FOR AN INTERNATIONAL ADDRESS. MY INTERNATIONAL PHONE NUMBER IS: +972544888755

WHEN I ASKED HER IF I HAVE WARRANTY WORK, AN OPEN CAMPAIGN THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED, WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET IN SOONER? THE WOMAN THEN REPLIED TO ME THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY NEW CUSTOMERS AT ALL!

HAVE TRIED 3 TIMES TO TAKE THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF QUALIFIED MECHANICS TO DO THE RECALL. ONE DEALER GAVE ME A CONFIRMED APPOINTMENT AND AFTER WAITING 3 HOURS FOR MY VEHICLE, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MECHANICS TO REPAIR IT THAT DAY. I HAD TO LEAVE WITH THE CAR IN THE SAME CONDITION I BROUGHT IT IN. I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOOSE ANY MORE WORK AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T GIVE LOANER CARS FOR RECALLS. I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN. THEIR DEALERS ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND DON'T HONOR THEIR SERVICE APPOINTMENTS EVEN WHEN YOU ARE WAITING 3 HOURS FOR THE CAR. MY VEHICLE'S RECALLS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN. I STILL HAVE TO PAY THE BANK MY MONTHLY INSTALLMENT EVEN IF THE CAR IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE I MUST HONOR MY CONTRACT WITH THE BANK. HOW ABOUT JEEP DEALERS HONORING THEIR CONTRACTS WITH THE FACTORY.
