My 2001 jeep grand cherokee has a defect on cylinder# 2 apparently there was no recall even though it is a defect. my lights would flicker in drive sitting at a red light, still does, and now the engine is starting to run rough, after more and more research come to find out this is an issue with these jeeps never a recall but there was an extended warranty that was put out by chrysler 10 yrs or 150,000 miles. just found this out a couple of days ago, i have 152,000, so they would not honor their warranty. i have documentation that cylinder 2 was an issue in 2017 i have documentation where my car was diagnosed when it had 95,000 miles at the time it was wasn't a dealership so they wouldn't accept it. its going to cost me around $4,000-$6,000 to get it fixed, not sure why it has to be dealership documentation , i feel that chrysler has been hiding this from consumers to save money and let the consumer take the fall for a defect that they were aware of. why cant this be recalled? regardless of miles, very disgruntled with chrysler for putting out ...

I previously reported that this 2011 jeep grand cherokee (3.6 pentastar engine) stalls without warning. the vehicle has stalled at least twice in august, numerous times in september, and already twice this month (october). what is more concerning is there is no check engine light the warns of the pending stall condition. also, i have had the thermostat, lifters, tappets, rocker arms, cylinder head, spark plugs, and ignition coils replaced and problem seems to be getting worse. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons tysons corner). the dealer cannot read any active or stored codes for the stalling issue. additionally, the shop foreman advised that it appeared to be the fuel pump. i ordered the $540.00 fuel pump and had replaced on monday october 7, 2019 for an additional $630.00. ironically enough, the vehicle stalled going home and the fuel pump repair did not fix the issue. the mechanic and service advisor now say that i should replace the pcm and then the tipum if all else fails. this is an additional $3,000.00 in estimated service that they cannot guarantee that will fix the issue. the most concerning thing is that chrysler will not be held accountable for this. ...

There is a crack in the housing which is a big recall problem in jeeps. but not the 2011. obviously it is a problem with the 2011. it will cost us alot of money to get it fixed when i am positive that it should be covered like the other yrs. a jeep is a jeep. there was no accident. we are not young people that don't take care of their cars. we are elderly and drive responsibly. oil just blows out of the crack when you start the engine.
