The Horn has stopped working and it appears to be the Clock Spring. This is a safety hazard as it can cause the airbags to engage randomly or NOT engage in the case of a crash. This is an expensive repair that should not be at the expense of the owner since it is a defect in the Clock Spring. I am aware that there have been Clock Spring recalls on other models of Jeeps, but not on this one.

This vehicle stops while driving. It happens when it comes to a stop or slow down. Will turn off. In some instances I have lost my power brakes. This has been happening since November of 2022. The dealership has replaced the recall part, the fuel pump relay. Still happens. They thought it could be low transmission fuel. No, still happened. They have driven it over 100 miles and it wouldn’t replicate for them so they say they cannot fix it because there is no check engine light on. This is a safety hazard.

This is a widespread complaint as it happens to every Jeep with leather dashboards. The leather starts to wrinkle & shrink, releasing it from the dashboard mount itself on my 2011Grand Cherokee Overland, which started in 2014. I tried to no avail to get Jeep to repair it under warranty, they denied it every time. In January 2020 I complained on Twitter about it & tagged Jeep in it, Jeep Cares contacted me and after a few messages back & forth, me providing pictures and my VIN, they told me I was entitled to a "X81" Extended Warranty for the leather to be replaced at no cost. I contacted dealer as they suggested & they told me to bring it in so they could see it & order replacement leather. We were in the middle of a World Wide Pandemic so I have waited to have that & many other issues fixed. When I went to dealership yesterday, I was told the X81 expired in June 2020, 6 months after I was told of it. I was NEVER told of any expiration period or I would have taken it in, I waited because of the Pandemic. EVERY leather dash by Jeep/Chrysler does the same thing as mine, they need to be responsible and cover it. I don't know the validity of it, but I've read this can cause premature passenger air bag deployment, that scares me.

I was leaving home from work and my car started perfectly fine and I drove like 50ft and the car completely shut down. I tried to jump it car to car but it was draining the other car batteries so I got a tow truck to come out and it jumped the car enough to get it in neutral and then it cut off. I changed the battery and alternator and It cuts on them after about 5-10 min it completely cuts off and won’t turn back on again. Lights on the dashboard pop up too before it cuts off.

As I am about to turn right my vehicle completely shuts off and I lose power steering, etc. Brakes work enough to stop thankfully, but vehicle is completely off almost causing a crash. I am able to start my 2011 Jeep GC right back up and go on with the engine light on. The light then shut off as I am driving. After reading multiple cases of this same issue it is apparent something needs done and a resolution needs issued. This is an extreme safety issue and needs addressed now before injury or death occurs. I love Jeep but I do not think I will be able to get another (after having 3+) if this does not get addressed. Get this fixed and addressed now.

OUR JEEP CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE BEING DRIVEN, MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE AS THE POWER STEERING AND POWER ASSISTED BRAKES STOP WORKING WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS.

FOR THE LAST MONTH THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND IN SOME CASES WOULD NOT START. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY PROBLEM IN THE MODEL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DECEMBER. I USE THE CAR DAILY AND FOR LONG TRIP AND FEAR IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS BRING THE CAR IN FOR A TEMPORARY FIX WHICH IS WORRISOME.

STARTED HAVING A TRANSMISSION SLIP IN 2ND GEAR REPAIR SHOP LOOKED THINGS OVER AND SAID TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A LITTLE LOW AND I WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE AC CONDENSER GOING BAD. HAD IT REPLACED, NO MORE LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT TRANSMISSION STILL ACTING UP NOW. WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE LEAK AND TRANS FLUID GETTING LOW. AFTER READING UP I GUESS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. OBVIOUSLY THESE A/C CONDENSER UNITS ARE FAULTY. NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDABLE IF JEEP WOULD HAVE LET OWNERS KNOW ABOUT THE AC CONDENSER ISSUE OR MADE THAT A UNIT THAT HAS TO GET REPLACED AFTER SO MANY MILES.

THE WIN MODULE TO THE JEEP HAS BEEN MESSING UP. THE CAR DOORS WILL LOCK ON THEIR OWN, THE WINDOWS WILL ROLL DOWN, AND NOW THE JEEP HAS JUST DECIDED TO START ON ITS OWN. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE KEY FOB SO WE TRIED TO GET A NEW FOB AND COME TO FIND OUT IT IS NOT THE FOB CAUSE IT DID THE SAME THING WITH A NEW FOB PROGRAMMED TO IT. SO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US IT WAS THE WIN MODULE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT FOR A DIFFERENT YEAR MAKE. SO JEEP SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS A HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS

TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING BRAKING, WHILE IN MOTION, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. LOST POWER BRAKES, STEERING, EVERYTHING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN CURB WITH TWO CARS BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO ABRUPTLY SWERVE TO AVOID ME. IT WAS A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. NO POWER ANYTHING, RADIO, LIGHTS, NOTHING. I CAME TO A STOP AFTER STANDING ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL MY WEIGHT! I PUT THE CAR IN P AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER THAT. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE, NEEDLESS TO SAY! I HAVE SINCE PARKED IT BUT AM HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME WITH A FAMILY OF 5 DOWN TO ONE CAR. I AM ON AN EMAIL LIST TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THERE IS A FIX, BUT IT SEEMS THEY'RE NOT IN A HURRY! THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS FIX IS 19V-813. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY COMING OFF THE FREEWAY GOING INTO AN OFF RAMP, MY JEEP WILL STALL LOCKING UP THE WHEEL AND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED SIX OR TEN TIMES TO ME OVER THE YEARS BUT AGAIN VERY RECENTLY. VERY DANGEROUS AT ANY SPEED BUT THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. NEED A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE DIES !!!! DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A RECALL BEING WORKED ON. THAT'S NOT A SOLUTION TO MY URGENT PROBLEM!!!

ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS STARTING MY JEEP. THEN, ON DECEMBER 25, 2019, I RECEIVE THE V62 FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL FOR MY JEEP, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:*DT OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOUR VEHICLE [1] WAS INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL P54 (NHTSA 14V-530) OR SAFETY RECALL R09 (NHTSA 15V-115). THE REMEDY FOR THE PREVIOUS RECALLS WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. IF YOU HAD EITHER OF THESE RECALLS COMPLETED, THE INSTALLED REMEDY RELAY IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SILICON CONTAMINATION ON THE RELAY CONTACTS, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE RELAY TO FAIL. A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A NO-START CONDITION OR AN ENGINE STALL CONDITION IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. A VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ['] THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THIS WAS OF GREAT CONCERN. IN THE 1980S I WAS DRIVING ON THE CONGESTED FREEWAYS OF LA WHEN MY BMW SUDDENLY JUST TURNED OFF. I BARELY MANAGED TO COAST TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I WAS IN TERROR AS I HAD JUST BEEN REAR-ENDED A YEAR PRIOR WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. TO THIS DAY I HAVE PAIN IN MY SHOULDER, AND TWO PINCHED NERVES IN MY NECK. SO, I CALLED THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SERVICE NUMBER. GIVEN THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REMEDY, AND THAT 'VEHICLE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING', I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE AGENT INSISTED THAT I FIRST HAD TO TAKE MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF A PROBLEM. THAT IS PATENTLY RIDICULOUS AS THE PROBLEM CAN NOT EXIST AND THEN, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, ARISE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND 'CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING'. IN FACT, THAT FIRST TIME COULD BE ON THE WAY TO MY LOCAL DEALER. *DT *JB (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS
