The problem started with the key fob, after locking the car the doors would unlock and lock again with out my control. then more electrical issues occurred, the lights flickered, the rear camera stopped working, and then driving the car eventually the power steering went out and it was dangerous as i was driving on the 405 free way and i was unable to pull over with out power steering.

I pulled out of my driveway, turned the corner and my jeep completely shut down as i was driving. the message that came up told me to service my 4 wheel drive and every light on my dash lit up like a christmas tree. it would not start or do anything. had to have it towed back to my house and am now having to tow it to a dealer.

Tried to start my jeep it wouldn't start. i used the push button. i waited a few hrs and tried again. same issue. tried my remote start. started up. next day used the push start, started up no problem, on the highway (95) the truck was hesitating when going up an incline. next day push start won't work, the engine would turn over as usual but wouldn't start. remote start and it started up. son took it and put it on the diagnosis machine and said there weren't any codes. researching a hard starting problem i've read tons of posts very similar to what i have experienced. i called the dealer to make an appointment. asked could it possibly be the same issue that my truck was re called on already. he said might be r09 fuel relay recall, timp problem, (recall was a temporary solution to install a fuel pump harness bypass so that the fuel pump turns off) but that if it is, the dealer said they already replaced that and will not do again unless it is pd for, after they put the jeep on their diagnosis machine at $175.00 per hr. so after they ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep grand cherokee. while attempting to crank the vehicle with the push start button, the vehicle failed to start. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact stated that the vehicle was exhibiting the same failures as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 15v115000 (electrical system). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and a case number was provided. the failure mileage was 133,000.

The 4wheel drive, check engine light and traction control light came on and the vehicle became unresponsive. vehicle would not register it was in park or turn off. had to pull off the side of the road as i was almost hit several times. sounds like the tcu may be an issue.

The car has issues starting up and when you try to start the car the brake become stiff and the car will not start but will crank. also as i was driving the car cuts off without warning or when i stop at the red light the car just cuts off and i have to put it in park turn the car off and wait and restart after 5 minutes and it starts with no issues

The damages directly caused by the alternator recall directly related to my 2013 jeep grand cherokee are being declined to be covered by dealership in a vacaville california. they are wanting to charge me $1000 for damages to my vehicle that were caused by alternator issue.

My 2013 jeep grand cherokee overland started to smoking from the alternator and burned up almost catching fire. there was a recall that they only looked at the alternator never replacing it. i want to know more about this recall, i want to be contacted in regards to this faulty part that almost caught my jeep on fire. i feel this part should have been replaced. the jeep was running stationary when it started whistling and making a bad noice. once i started to drive it to auto zone it got worse and started smoking, making a loud whistling sound and choking like it was going to die. when i pulled into auto zone it was smoking bad, smelt electric burning and it was all coming from the alternator. i had to have it towed 60 miles back home and another 12 miles to the dealership that next monday morning because this happened on a sunday when everything was closed. if it's a recall i want it replaced, tow paid for and the time it's been out of commission.

Vehicle was started and transmission placed in drive, then driven onto a city street accompanied by an unusual whining noise, lurching, and impaired acceleration. vehicle was limped into a parking lot, placed in park and shut off again, after which it would no longer crank. vehicle was towed to dealership where initially the starter was replaced. after starting the vehicle, the technician reported sparks and a strong burning smell from the alternator, which he declared unsafe to drive. the alternator was then replaced, after which the powertrain control module or pcm was also found to have failed and was replaced. the primary cause of the problem here is unclear, but the safety concern stems from the shorting alternator making the vehicle unsafe to drive. it seems likely that had the driver been unable to immediately pull over, the vehicle could have caught fire and/or completely shut down in traffic. as other, similar vehicles from this manufacturer have been recalled for weak alternator diodes failing catastrophically (p60 / nhtsa 14v-634), it seems reasonable to investigate whether this hazard exists in this and other similar vehicles also.

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, ...

The vehicle has stopped dead on at least 8 occasions over the last year. the car is running and moving but suddenly stops. no lights no motor noise no ability to steer off the road. it seems to occur at city speeds and streets never on a highway nothing has showed up on diagnostics and no one seems to be able to fix it. i am afraid to drive it. the jeep dealership says there is nothing wrong on diagnostics so there is nothing to fix. the dealerships head mechanic is not returning calls. i was researching and found that there may have been a recall on this issue with the same make and model including 2011 to 2014. mine is 2013. the dealership will not speak to this issue. i do not know what a takayuki recall is, i gave the last date this happend.
