This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When stopping at red light and idle was at a normal rate vheicle would stall. Dealer had vehicle 4-5 times, but cause was still unknown. Also when braking and coming to stop, steering would start to pulsate. Dealer has rewinded drums, but defect kept occurring and cause was unknown.
The engine has completely shut off in the middle of driving or when at a stoplight. This has occured at least 3 times in the 8 months we have owned it. All engine power and electrical power go off completely when it occurs. We called the dealership and they said, "let me guess, it's been quitting on you". that pissed me off because they knew about it but didn't notify anyone of the potential life threatening effects it could have. It's obviously happened to a large number of owners and when your traveling at high speeds and the engines quits it makes braking near impossible.
While driving and coming to stop on a red light, vehicle would lose power/stall without a warning at different times. Dealer could not find the cause. Dealer advised consumer to keep the A/C on at all times in an attempt to correct the problem.
Whenever vehicle comes to a stop it stalls when pulling off to make a turn. Dealer has been contacted. Throttle body has been replaced twice, engine/transmission software updated, problem still exists.
Intermittent engine idle problem. Occurs when engine is fully warmed up and in gear and at a full stop. Engine idle speed will fluctuate between 300 & 600 RPM. When this happens, engine roughness is very noticable and on occassion it will stall. On the first visit to the dealer, the computer was reprogrammed as per a tsb. This did not solve the problem. Second visit, Chrysler advised the dealer to replace throttle position sensor. Again the problem still exists. The dealer has notified Chrysler and is still waiting for an answer.
Stalled on many occasions in stop and go traffic. Has become very dangerous with potential for accident. Extremely unreliable with poor build quality. Dealer unable to resolve the stalling problem. Long list of problems in the first 27,000 miles. Very upset with this vehicle and Chrysler doesn't seem to really care at all.
Vehicle dies for no apparent reason. Have been told it will continue to happen even after it was in the shop for this problem. Transmission jerks when shifting in low speeds.this happens on a daily basis. Service techs at dealership have no answers for this problem. I get the feeling I will just have to live with it dying and jerking as long as I own the Jeep. This vehicle should have stayed on the drawing board just a little longer I think.
Car makes loud clunking noise when slowing, then RPM's fluctuate and car stalls. Dealer contacted numerous times since vehicle first purchased. Each time they said it was fixed.
Intermittently truck stalls when it comes to a stop. Dealer was notified about the problem. Owner was told that Chrysler knows about the problem, but not sure of the solution. Please provide any furhter information.
This vehicle repeatedly stalls during operation. It has happened to me several times in commuter traffic, necessitating a complete stop and shifting into park in order to restart the vehicle. This happens in the traffic lanes in moving traffic. I fear this.
The bulk of the problems the car has were recognized before 583 miles. The engine stalls when driving in stop and go traffic. The problem seems to be magnified if the car goes from high speeds to an idle. The car begins to idle below 500rpm and then dies. After being in to reprogram several times, now the vehicle is hard to start, it takes from 5-10 seconds to start. The car has transfer case problems that make the car shudder at low speeds when turning. Trying to fix that issue created a leak from the transfer case. The car also has a hollow grinding noise or resonance at 1200rpm in 1st gear while under a load. The car has been serviced six times. These issues still remain.
I am an owner of a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited V8. I have encountered many problems with this vehicle but some have already been resolved under manufacturer's warranty. A couple problems still exist though. One main problem is that my vehicle occasionally stalls out on me at red lights. It idles very slow (@400 RPM) and this is usually when the vehicle fails on me. I'll lose power to the transmission, but all the electrical items will still work, such as the radio and heater. When the engine dies out, the check engine and airbag lights will display. This problem has been brought to the attention of two dealerships but has not yet been resolved. Another problem I have is that I will feel a big clunk when I am accelerating, usually when I first start to drive off. The second type of clunk I feel is when I put the vehicle in reverse to drive. I will feel a big bang like somebody had hit me from behind. This will specifically happen during the shift from reverse to drive. The third problem I encounter happens when I have my heater on. I will have the control settings set @80's and the air conditioner will operate. I do not have the setting at defrost mode. It is in regular mode and when I want the heat, the ac plus the heat will trigger. I would greatly appreciate it if these problems were looked into. Thank you.
