Was inspected @ my local garage. The tipm goes out and you lose turn signals, wipers, transfer case control ( locks in low gear) causes airbag light to go on. And Chrysler does not manufacture them anymore. Jeep had to be towed.

Shortly after purchasing vehicle we noticed there was an issue when using the remote start, the vehicle would start and then the horn would go off as if the alarm was going off, the vehicle would shut off and not want to start with the even with the power button. I disconnected the batter and let it sit for about 20 minutes and then reconnected and started the vehicle normally with the power button, about 6-7 weeks go by and after not using the remote start we had another issue, (NO KEY DETECTED) with both keys in the vehicle, did the same procedure with battery disconnect and reconnect and holding the key fob on the power button so that it would recognize the fob and it seemed to be ok for the time being until the next issue arrived.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP DOES NOT COME ON IN DAYTIME. AT DUSK, WHEN THE SENSOR TURNS ON BRIGHTER LAMPS; THIS PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP WORKS. AT TIME, WHEN RAINING OR WHEN I WANT TO BE SEEN, I WILL MANUALLY TURN ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON DURING THE DAY; HOWEVER IT WILL COME ON WITH THE AUTOMATIC DUSK FEATURE. I SEE MANY "ONE-SIDED" DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLAMPS IN THE NEWER MODEL JEEPS PRIOR TO THE NEW LED ROPE LIGHTING HEADLAMP FEATURE IMPLEMENTED IN 2014. THE AUTO DEALER WILL HAPPILY REPLACE THE BALLAST AND ASSEMBLY FOR $500.00. IN MY MIND, THIS IS A DEFECT KNOWN TO THE MAKER WHICH IS WHY A NEW TYPE OF LIGHTING WAS IMPLEMENTED. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. EVEN THOUGHT IT'S JUST ANNOYING; IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. IT WAS SUGGESTED I CHECK IN WITH THIS WEBSITE TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS.

ON OCTOBER 15, 2014 I TOOK MY 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TO MOORE AUTO GROUP 8590 WEST BELL ROAD PEORIA, AZ TO ADDRESS RECALL (P36 SUN VISOR WIRING). THE RECALL STATES; THE SUN VISOR VANITY LAMP WIRING ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE A HIGH RESISTANCE SHORT AFTER A SERVICE REPAIR TO THE SUN VISOR, HEADLINER OR WHILE GAINING ACCESS ABOVE THE HEADLINER. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INOPERATIVE VANITY LAMP AND INCREASE RISK OF FIRE. ON FEBRUARY 4, 2015 WHILE PARKED, ENGINE NOT RUNNING, LOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED, IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, THE CAR ERUPTED IN FLAMES. THE SOURCE OF IGNITION WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING ABOVE THE HEADLINER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR. I BELIEVE THAT IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, ANY AND ALL OWNERS OF VEHICLES THAT HAD THIS RECALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT MOORE AUTO GROUP BE ADVISED TO RETURN FOR REINSPECTION.

DURING THE YEAR (2014), I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SEPARATE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER. WHEN I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE (P14/NHTSA 14V-154 BRAKE BOOSTER), I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER (CARSON DODGE/JEEP) AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY DID NOT YET HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL, SO IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO PERFORM THE INSPECTION. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD "PUT ME ON THE LIST" AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I GOT THE SECOND SAFETY RECALL (P36/NHTSA 14V-391 SUN VISOR WIRING). I CALLED CARSON DODGE/JEEP AGAIN. THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL AND IT "DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO BRING MY JEEP IN TO THEM UNTIL THEY COULD PERFORM THE INSPECTION FOR BOTH SAFETY RECALLS". THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD "PUT ME ON THE LIST" AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW THE END OF THE YEAR, CARSON DODGE/JEEP HAS NOT CALLED ME TO PERFORM EITHER OF THE SAFETY RECALL INSPECTIONS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING JERKED AROUND. AS THESE SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER ARE NOT DATED, I CANNOT BE SURE OF THE EXACT MONTH/DATE THEY WERE RECEIVED. AS IMPORTANT AS THESE DOCUMENTS ARE, THEY SHOULD BE DATED.

I HAVE GOTTEN TWO SAFETY RECALLS FROM JEEP. THE FIRST ONE IS P14/NHTSA 14V-154 ( BRAKE BOOSTER MAY PREMATURELY CORRODE) AND THE SECOND IS P36/NHTSA 14V-391 ( SUN VISOR VANITY LAMP MAY EXPERIENCE HIGH RESISTANCE SHORT). I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS TO TRY TO GET MY CAR IN FOR THEM TO CHECK AND HAVE EITHER BEEN TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART OR ARE "TOO BUSY TO SERVICE MY CAR". I WAS EVEN TOLD AT HELFMAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP AND RAM IN HOUSTON (713)533-6100 THAT THEY COULDN'T SERVICE MY CAR BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY AND UNDER STAFFED AND THEN THE MAN SAID " I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE, BUT IT'S TRUE". MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AT ONE POINT AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T TAKE MY CAR IN. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH JEEP'S COSTUMER SERVICE. I ALSO CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM (AUTO NATION) CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE IN SPRING, TEXAS THREE TIMES AND NEVER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL BACK AFTER LEAVING THREE MESSAGES WITH THE SERVICE OPERATOR. I WAS TOLD TO FILE A COMPLIANT ON THIS WEBSITE IF THE RECALLS WERE NOT TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

JEEP HAS AN ISSUE WITH MY 2013 JEEP CHEROKEE, WHEREIN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS, HEADLIGHT(S) TURN OFF AND OTHER SYSTEMS (RADIO/NAV) REBOOT. I ON MY FIFTH ATTEMPTED FIX FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CAR IS STILL IN SHOP (I AM IN MY THIRD WEEK OF A RENTAL). OBVIOUSLY, HEADLIGHTS THAT GO OUT ON THEIR OWN (AND STAY OUT) IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE -- IT'S MORE THAN AN ANNOYANCE. I HAVE BEEN WARNED BY POLICE ALREADY, BUT SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS IS THE LARGER ISSUE.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WHILE TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, WHAT APPEARED TO BE A TINY PEBBLE STRUCK MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, WHICH RESULTED IN A CHIP IN MY WINDSHIELD. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CHIP RESULTED IN A CRACK THAT SPANNED THE ENTIRE HORIZONTAL LENGTH OF MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD DRIVEN/OWNED OTHER NON-JEEP VEHICLES IN WHICH WINDSHIELDS WERE STRUCK BY LARGER PEBBLES/ROCKS AND SURVIVED WITHOUT HAVING SUSTAINED ANY DAMAGE. ADDITIONALLY, MY HUSBAND'S 2013 JEEP WRANGLER HAS SUSTAINED CRACKED FRONT WINDSHIELDS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A THREE MONTH PERIOD. DESIGN DEFECT?? SUBSTANDARD FRONT WINDSHIELD???
