I own this vehicle for over 5 years, and my wife just doesn't want to drive it with the kids because of the strong smell of diesel and diesel exhaust fluid inside the cabin it's just make you want to trow up and gives you headaches
Vehicle overheated - manifold / egr had to be replaced due to severe soot build up. engine compartment was smoking and coolant empty when vehicle overheated. vehicle is a fire risk.*dt*jb
Vehicle was being refueled, ( fuel level was approx 1/3 full and was being completely filled). vehicle would not start after fueling and was towed to a nearby mechanic for diagnosis and repair. problem was diagnosed as a fuel pump failure. upon removal of fuel pump from gas tank, and replacement, vehicle again operated normally. an examination of the failed fuel pump revealed that the fuel pump electrical harness connection had overheated and melted - certainly a very dangerous condition for a component that resides in the gas tank.
When stopped and parked at the local gas station the plastic fuel filler cap broke off during fueling causing the gas nozzle to fall out. now check engine light is on. jeep has since corrected this plastic part on newer models with metal. cost of part alone is $650.00
My 2014 eco-diesel jeep grand cherokee had an emissions recall, i am the 2nd owner. i found out about the recall when my car wouldn't run at normal speed, often i had to do the regeneration fuel cleaning. i had often notice diesel fumes in the cab. i had the recall work done at gresham jeep. soon after the check engine light came on. oct 16 lithia jeep of portland worked on my jeep. i had been feeling ill for a while, burning eyes, exhausted & sick. oct 28 i became very ill while driving my jeep, i took my vehicle to lithia motors and ended up in the e.r. with carbon monoxide poisoning. its been difficult getting lithia jeep to fix my vehicle. if this has anything to do with the recall or is another issue i want this reported. i hope no one else gets sick or dies from carbon monoxide poisoning
Vehicle overheated and spewed all coolant. several dealer visits, replaced egr, manifold, cylinder heads, hoses, thermostat etc. one occasion fuel was dripping into the engine compartment after repair and the engine compartment was smoking. another occasion the manifold was smoking. it's only a matter of time before one catches fire. these are suvs used to haul families.
The vehicle lost partial power while traveling on the highway at approximately 65mph and became difficult to control creating an extremely dangerous situation. there were no symptoms or other indicators prior to power loss. the vehicle is well maintained, 5-years old and has approximately 85,000 miles. initial diagnosis by independent indicated the number 3 cylinder lost compression which should not have occurred on a vehicle in this good of condition but was a problem common in jeeps and chrysler is well aware of the problem. the vehicle was moved to jeep dealer for further diagnosis and repair.
Engine shuddered and stopped while in park. tried to restart, but would not start (electrical was fine). had it towed and fuel injector replaced. drove for approximately 75 miles and acceleration ceased on busy highway at 70mph. when able to pull over and stop, would not go into park (even though shifter indicated that it was in park). dashboard indicated that my speed was too high to shift (i do not recall the full message) and it began to roll backwards into traffic. i turned it off and it stopped rolling. tow truck said he had difficulty putting it in neutral. prior to failure to accelerate, there was a heavy rumbling sound when gas pedal pushed; then it sounded like small parts were falling off of the engine; then grinding sound but no acceleration. i saw a brief message about 4wheel drive, but was trying to get to safety, so i do not know what it said. i had a passenger and toddler in the car. frightening!
After the emissions recall, my jeep has dangerous lag on acceleration. you press the gas pedal and there is a 3-5 second delay before anything happens. very dangerous when pulling out of my driveway etc. additionally the fuel economy has decreased substantially. any help with this is greatly appreciated. thanks, mike
Can not fuel vehicle - nozzle keeps clicking off. we got stuck in gas station out off gas because of this on going problem. never ending problem !
My vehicle has a long crank but will not turn over. stuck numerous times. the dealer said they can't find the problem but i see online that earlier models were recalled for the same problem. it was said a faulty fuel pump relay. am wondering if this is the same problem.
Every time i fill up my gas tank my vehicle will stall out. this has been going on for months now. i took it to the dealership and they are telling me this was a known error and chryster has made modifications to the gas tank/vaper lock but i am responsible for the $1600 it will cost to fix it. if this is a known defect, then it should be covered under a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep grand cherokee. while refueling the vehicle, the fuel filler neck came off while removing the fuel pump. the failure caused fuel to spill from the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not notified. the failure mileage was 80,000.
We have had problems with our 2014 jeep grand cherokee for about 2 years with some delay in acceleration when at complete stop and then lurching forward. our alternator is now needing to be replaced and is not on the recall list for 2014 jeeps with defective alternator. ours clearly has a defective alternator.
Our dealership completed epa and carb emissions recall v08 for 3.0l diesel emissions on 20 may 2019. mileage out was 63,819. 200 miles later, we started the vehicle as normal. less than a mile later, as we started to accelerate onto the highway, the check engine light came on and our vehicle's information center displayed two separate diesel exhaust fluid (def) related warnings. the first saying def needed service/contact the dealership, while the second warning said we could not restart the vehicle after driving another 200 miles. we immediately found a safe spot to pull over and called the dealership. the acting service manager advised us that it was safe to drive the vehicle to the dealership as long as there were no obvious performance issues. he said it was probably emission related, that we would be ok if we didn't drive over 200 miles. he said going over 200 miles might abruptly put the vehicle into a "limp mode"! we were 150 miles away from the dealership but the vehicle was otherwise operating normally, so we took the service manager's advice and drove to ...
