While driving my check engine light came on and then the electronic stability control light came on to show the system was off. I tried to accelerate but the car would not go any faster. I let off and moved to the right lane then pressed the gas again. It struggled to go but eventually did resume speed. This problem is intermittent because after I stopped for fuel, the light went away. After a few hours of driving, it came back on. Park the car and it sat overnight. Next morning started up and light was off. Took in for service and cannot get a code for repairs. Suggestion was continue driving in hopes the light will come back on. Could this be camshaft position sensors?

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.

MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE THE SECOND TIME THE DEFAULT WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED 4 YEARS AGO IN RECALL WARRANTY AND HAS MADE AN AUDIBLE TICKING NOISE SINCE THEN. DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, IN ANNISTON, AL AND FOLEY, AL, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TICKING WAS NORMAL FOR THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE. THREE WEEKS AGO, I TOOK A JEEP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN WROTE ON MY MULTI-POINT INSPECTION PAPERWORK 'NOTICED AN AUDIBLE TICKING'. THIS TECHNICIAN HAS TOLD ME TWICE PREVIOUSLY THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND FAILED TO MENTION TO ME PERSONALLY WHILE IN THE DEALERSHIP. I ONLY NOTICED HE WROTE IT ON MY PAPERWORK AFTER I HAD LEFT. I CALLED AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH THE TECHNIQUE CONCERNING THE TICKING AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK AND TO THIS MOMENT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HEMI 5.7L ENGINE HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE DEFAULT ENGINES. THE TICKING SPEEDS UP WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWO IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. ONCE, IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BE STARTED AND RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE SECOND TIME, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY AND SLOWING FOR A CAR TO TURN AHEAD OF ME. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. FOLLOWING THIS, MY FCW TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN BACK ON. CURRENTLY, MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN RECALL TO, AGAIN, REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED THREE PRIOR TIMES, ONCE BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TWICE BY A PRIVATE TECHNICIAN. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED A YEAR AGO AND STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY PER THE DEALERSHIP. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY, AT TIMES 300 MILES PER DAY.MY CHILD TRAVELS WITH ME AND I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE.

I HAD CRUISE AT 80MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DISENGAGED ON EXIT RAMP BY USING THE BRAKE. THE CAR SLOWED BUT I USED BRAKE AGAINN TO YIELD ONTO 4 LANE ROAD AND AGAIN TO CROSS OVER 2 LANES INTO A GAS STATION. I PULLED UP TO PUMP SLOWLY. WHEN I PUT THE BRAKE ON AGAIN TO COMPLETTE THE STOP,THE CRUISE REENGAGED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS OPEN PARKING SPOT,I AIMED THERE AND CAR JUST KEPT GOING. OVER A CURB, THROUGH ABOUT 75 YARDS OF GRASS AND INTO A FIELD,ABOUT 25 FEET IN. NO BRAKING EVEN THO I TRIED. IN THE BRUSH WAS A CONCRETE BLOCK I HIT THAT CAUSED BOTH PASSENGER TIRES TO BLOW AND THEN THE CAR SLOWED AND WENT TO THE LEFT SOME 5 FEET AND STOPPED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I ONLY PLOWED DOWN SMALL BRUSH AND MISSED A TREE IN MY PATH WHEN CAR VEERED LEFT AFTER TIRES BLEW. IT WAS A DRY SUNNY MORNING WITH NO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR AN HOUR AND HAD STOPPED TO GET GAS AND USE RESTROOM. THEPA STATE TROOPERS CAME BUT SINCE NO DAMAGE TO OTHER PROPERTY AND NO INJURIES, THEY DID NOT FILE A REPORT. USAA INSURANCE NOTIFIED AT ONCE AND TOOK THE CAR. THEY CLAIM IT AS A TOTAL LOSS. I AM BLESSED TO BE OK BUT THIS CRUISE/BRAKE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY ANYWHERE ELSE. I HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE I WOULD NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE THIS

I USED MY AAA MEMBERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. IT WAS SENT TO THE AAA MECHANIC. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS NO GOOD. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS RELAY BUT THE DEALER NEVER HAD THE PART IN STOCK. WHICH SOUNDED BOGUS TO ME. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED. I SENT IN MY COMPLETED THE CHRYSLER REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM AND SUBMITTED THE SHOPS RECEIPT AND THE RENTAL VEHICLE RECEIPT. I WAS ASSIGNED CASE # 76491689. I PAID $3004.00 IN CASH FOR REPAIRS. AFTER I SUBMITTED MY RECEIPTS THEY DENIED MY CLAIM FOR $1309.00 THAT WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY REPAIR. THE MECHANIC ALSO PERFORMED OTHER REPAIRS THAT HE CLAIMS WERE AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL DAMAGING THE VEHICLE. I ASKED FOR ANOTHER RECEIPT STATING SPECIFICALLY THAT I PAID IN CASH AND RESUBMITTED IT TO THE DENIED CLAIM EMAIL. I AM UNEMPLOYED DUE TO COVID-19 AND I SPENT MY SAVINGS TO FIX MY VEHICLE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY THE LAST 5 MONTHS. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO ZONE FOR A CODE READER A FEW TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD DISAPPEAR OR MULTIPLE CODES WOULD APPEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD AT TIMES SEEM TO LOSE POWER ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILL WHETHER IT WAS ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET A TRUE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON 6/15/19 WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL SHOWING ON MY DASHBOARD. THEY CODE READER GAVE P0128 SO I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET MY THERMOSTAT GAUGE REPLACED AND TOTAL REPAIRS WITH DIAGNOSTIC WERE $309.15. I FOUND IT FRUSTRATING AND UNSAFE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY APPEAR. AFTER A TRIP OUT OF TOWN AND DROVE A TOTAL OF CLOSE TO 1200 MILES, THE LIGHT STAYED ON. AT THIS POINT, IT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT ALWAYS ALERT IF A PASSENGER DID NOT HAVE THEIRS ON. I TRIED TO GO BACK AND SELECT THE SEATBELT PROBLEM SELECTION, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON THE STREET, TURNING THE CORNER AT AN INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER, TURNED OFF, AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING AND VEHICLE IN GENERAL. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN THAT WAS WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK. THIS WAS A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, AND I WAS TURNING LEFT. I HAVE CALLED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY TELLING THEM ABOUT THIS SYMPTOM OF MY VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING WHEN TRY TO TURN IT ON, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER REPEATEDLY BUT NOT FIRE UP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, IT SOMETIMES WILL START. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. OTHER TIMES I NEED TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I FEEL THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO RECALL R09, EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, THESE ARE THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED, SO I THINK THE PROBLEM IS BACK EVEN AFTER THE RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AT RIVER OAKS JEEP/CHRYSLER ON 4807 KIRBY DRIVE IN HOUSTON TX, 77098, AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY INITIALLY WERE NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS THEY SAID THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT HOLDING PRESSURE AND WOULD COST $2000 TO REPLACE. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT RIGHT NOW, AND I DECLINED REPAIRS. I CALLED THE HEADQUARTERS FOR CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR THEM TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MALFUNCTIONING PART RELATED TO A RECALL, AND THEY REFUSED. THIS IS DOCUMENTED UNDER CASE #34923344. I FEEL CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD EITHER REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN, EVEN AFTER IT WAS ALREADY DONE ONCE UNDER RECALL R09, OR THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP, AS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WITH 100% CERTAINTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE ENGINEERING OF THEIR VEHICLES.

PLEASE REFERENCE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 11114071 AND 11114079 FOR EXACT DATES OF FAILURE FOR JULY 2018. THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FUEL PUMPS WERE BOTH REPLACED AND THE JEEP WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 8/4/18. I DROVE IT ON 8/5/18 ONCE AND THEN TWICE IN THE MORNING ON 8/6/18. IT SAT IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY WORK FROM 8:30 TO 12:30 PM ON 08/6/18. AT 12:30 PM, THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OF STARTING FAILURE WERE HAPPENING. IT STARTED WITH TURNOVER THEN IMMEDIATELY DIED. THEN TURNED ON AFTER A 2ND ATTEMPT. THEN AT THE RESTAURANT I WENT TO AT APPROXIMATELY 12: 55 PM, THE JEEP COMPLETELY FAILED TO START. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDING OF THE FAILURE AND CAN PRODUCE THAT FOR REFERENCE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT STARTING AND STAYING ON CONSISTENTLY. THE START RESULTS IN IMMEDIATELY DYING AND THEN AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS LIKE THAT, IT EVENTUALLY IT JUST CRANKS AND CRANKS UNTIL YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. IT'S BEING TOWED A SECOND TIME TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, A DOME LIGHT IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SHUT OFF SINCE IT WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 8/4/18. IT WAS NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE 8/4/18. THIS IS A TIPM PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE 3RD PICTURE I'VE UPLOADED IS A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE VIDEO I HAVE OF THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING BUT CRANKING AND CRANKING. THE OTHER TWO ARE CAPTIONED. I HAVE THIS VIDEO AND CAN SEND IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PINNED TO THE FLOORBOARD. I ATTEMPTED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL LEAVING THE CAR STILL ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC UP TO AND BEYOND 90 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DID SEE A WARNING LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD BUT WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH IT. I LATER LOOKED IT UP IN MY OWNERS MANUAL AND IT WAS THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" ETC) LIGHT. REALIZING THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO TRY TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY PRESSING AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. THIS WAS MODERATELY SUCCESSFUL AND ALLOWED ME TO REDUCE THE SPEED TO A MANAGEABLE SPEED TO LANE CHANGE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. ONCE THERE I USED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE I WAS ABLE TO ALMOST STOP THE CAR WHILE THE ENGINE RACED. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS STILL IN GEAR SO I THREW THE CAR INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON. THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS SAFELY STOPPED ALONGSIDE THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE SCHEDULED IT TO BE SERVICED AND WILL HOPEFULLY GET SOME SORT OF DATA FROM THE CAR AS TO THE MALFUNCTION. ## VIN PASSED ## JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2013 ## *TT *AS *JS *DT*JB
