My Jeep has stalled twice while I was making a left turn. Both times it stalled without warning and I lost all power steering + power brakes. Both times I had about 1/4 tank of gas. The first time I was able to restart my car right away. The 2nd time it took me a few tries to get it restarted. The dealership claims they can't find anything wrong with it. I've opened a case with Jeep.

Dealer requires that I leave the vehicle at the dealer's repair shop for an entire day and that I pay them a rental fee for a loaner car during that period. I will not pay to have these manufacturer defects corrected. There are currently four (4) outstanding recall notices on this vehicle and they will not fix any of them without compensation.

Grand Cherokee

  • 17,000 miles
I am afraid to drive my vehicle. The first issue happened a few months ago, the car refused to start and had to be towed to the dealership to get fixed. There was an electrical fault, and could have happened at any point. Currently the vehicle has been at the dealership since November 10th. The vehicle hesitates before moving forward when I step on the gas, then something engages and it jumps forward. Sometimes it comes to a stop before it rapidly accelerates. The Jeep has been at atlantic Jeep for almost four weeks and the dealer has not been forthcoming in explaining what is going on. They can't seem to figure it out themselves and I am in fear of driving this car in the future if the same problems occur. There seems to be a big risk of having a crash with the issues described above. This happened on highways, streets, slow or fast didn't seem to have an affect. This has been a major issue, and is very scary for me as a driver.

Grand Cherokee

  • 44,000 miles
I was driving my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a city streetwhen my eyes and throat started burning. My 10 month old infant began to cry as I realized smoke was filing the cabin. I panicked, and pulled over, turned off the car and immediately took my baby out of the car. We remained in the side of the road for assistance. I continued seeing smoke coming out of the right side of my car. When assistance arrived, I realized the right visor had caught on fire and a result was burned with a black hole. I took my Jeep to the dealership on January 6, 2015 to get it serviced for recall P 36, which is related to the sun visor wiring. I was told by the dealership, that the recall had been completed. I contacted chyrsler customer support after my Jeep was on fire and filed a complaint. The representative was so rude and told me it would take 2-3 business days to get my case reviewed. This was not a surprise, as I have dealt with Chrysler customer service in the past and have never had a good experience. I feared for my safety as well the safety of my infant. I refuse to drive that car, and was told by the customer representative that I shoukd take it to the dealership. Why they would suggest that ? I don't know. I don't feel safe and now I am car less as I wait for someone to review my case.
