My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been at beaver county Dodge Chrysler Jeep since 5/5/2015. It was taken in for stalling issue, odometer adding excess miles, touch screen radio going black, seat belts that do not tighten and other various recalls. My Jeep has not left their parking lot since 5/8/2015 I called today 5/22/2015 and it is still not finished they stated. I have paid an entire month on my lease and I have not driven my vehicle. The service department has not made one attempt to fix my Jeep and I am not sure when I will ever get it back at this point. The dealership and fca have been giving me the run around since August 2014 about fixing these problems that they state simply cannot be fixed at this time? I have been having these problems for 9 months now and the dealership and fca keep telling me that they have no resolution to my problems.

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 13,694 miles
Info only brought vehicle in for oil change and safety recall P60/NHTSA 14V-634 was also done. Replacing alternator to prevent failure, loss of power, short....resulting in vehicle shutdown. Had to tow vehicle to dealer because what the recall was to prevent actually happened after the recall repair. Alternator burned up eventually causing loss of power to vehicle, fortunately vehicle was parked and could not be started without charging battery. Vehicle towed to dealer and they again replaced the alternator. My concern is Chrysler's fix does not fix the problem as it occurred after the recall repair was done. I will assume this was an isolated incident and the dealer accomplished the repair to my satisfaction. I do want you to have this information in a data base should more vehicles continue to fail in the same mode after the recall repair was made.

I have been trying to get the P60 Jeep Grand Cherokee recall (alternator diode) repaired since early November 2014. Two different Jeep dealerships have both said there are no parts available to make the repairs and no estimate for when parts may become available. There is no waiting list. The dealerships advised to just try calling back every couple of months. The fca customer assistance helpline provided the same information and advice. The recall notifies the driver that "the driver will have limited or no detection of the alternator failing, which can result in vehicle shutdown while driving and/or an underhood electrical fire." The fca helpline advised to not drive the vehicle if possible. How can you not drive your vehicle for over seven months" the dealerships advise it could be several additional months until parts are available. How is this an acceptable response to a clearly dangerous situation"

The navigation system goes blank mid trip screen goes on and off and switches to other media. The transmission clicks from switching from park to drive or reverse. The truck makes a weird vibration noise it sounds coarse and feels weird after 20mph. All these problems have been happening since I took the Jeep out the dealership. I always bring it back to the dealer they say they fix it and I always bring it right back with the same exact problems.
