NHTSA complaint #11185862 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JEEP LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT RANDOM SPEEDS. ALSO WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE STATIONARY. CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO FULLY PLACE IN PARK AND COMPLETELY REMOVE THE KEY. VIOLENT SHUT DOWN AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THE ASD RELAY REPLACED AND WIRING CHECKED WITH NO FIX. VERY DANGEROUS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. THE JEEP WILL DRIVE FINE BUT ONCE YOU TURN IT OFF IT IS A COIN TOSS WHETHER IT WILL START AGAIN. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE JEEP AND PUSH IN ON THE YELLOW WIRE CONNECTED TO THE STARTER, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY START. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A POORLY DESIGNED CONNECTOR, AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WEATHER PROOF BUT IT IS IN AN AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE WATER TIGHT. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE, BUT WHEN YOU CALL THE DEALERSHIPS THEY TELL YOU THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE (FDCM). VEHICLE HAD N23 AND P73 RECALLS COMPLETED. SOMETIME LATER, LOST 4WD LOW. RETURNED TO DEALER FOR RE FLASH PER FCA RECALL FOR LIFE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THEY CANNOT ACCESS FDCM DUE TO A SHORT; PART NEEDS REPLACED. CALLED FCA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT COVER AS ITS HARDWARE AS OPPOSED TO SOFTWARE RECALL. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES, IN MY RESEARCH, WHERE THEIR RECALL CAUSES THE LOSS OF 4WD LOW. FCA KNOWS THEIR "FIX" WAS FOR A HARDWARE ISSUE AND THEY FAIL TO COVER IT. OWNED JEEPS A LONG TIME AND I'M DONE. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN SO THEY MAYBE THEY CAN DO THE MATH ON WHAT THIS WILL COST THEM OVER GENERATIONS!

IDENTICAL ISSUE AS FOUND WITH NHTSA # 10908927 VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WITHOUT PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH 170,000 MILES ON IT. CARFAX SHOWS GREAT CARE INTO THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER WITHIN FIRST 24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE HAVE FOUND IT TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE NEAR 6X. HAVE TAKEN TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP/AUTOZONE/USED IFIXIT CODE FINDER AND NOTHING IS FOUND. THIS HAS CREATED HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS IT WILL HAPPEN AT RANDOM.

JEEP COMPLAINT CASE # 31436177. I AM HAVING A NO CRANK NO START ISSUE WITH BOGUS ERROR MESSAGE THAT READS TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AND NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY WHY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR WIRING....... THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THE JEEP STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL AS OF APRIL 2017. ELECTRICAL MECHANIC IS BAFFLED AND CAN NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THE JEEP EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT START AT ALL ANYMORE. SINCE FEBRUARY 2017 AFTER THIS ISSUE STARTED I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED OUT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND STILL THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL AS OF A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE THE KEY NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE JEEP AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BUT THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE EITHER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE EITHER. I ALSO HAD THE WIRING HARNESS CATCH FIRE INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BOOT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED WINDOWS, LOCKS....... NOT TO FUNCTION AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH WATER POURING IN FROM DRAINS FROM THE SUNROOF FLOODING THE VEHICLE AND RUINING THE CARPET ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALSO CAUSING A MOLD SMELL.
