2008 JEEP Grand Cherokee

At random periods, 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee cuts off; stops. At random time, car will start and run. At random times, the car will not start.

Jeep has been in two different Jeep dealerships which asserted that they has fixed the problem after costly repairs.
On August 5, 2016, the Jeep is at the dealer again and issue is not resolved.

When driving the engine will stall out. This has happened on May 1,2015. Chrysler Dealership had the vehicle for 33 days. The day I recieved my jeep back they car stalled out again on the interstate. The vehicle was brought back on May 2nd 2015 and the Code that was showing was an injector problem. The mechanic at the dealership claims he cleaned the injectors and the care ran fine and I recieved my care back on May 8th, 2015. Now as of August 14th, 2015 the Jeep has stalled out again on the interstate and the computer is showing the same code but yet the engine runs fine and the dealership has never put any facts on CAR FAX about what they have done for the vehicle or any issues.

I was driving the vehicle on the freeway at about 68 mph when the airbag warning light came on. Then about three minutes after the airbag light came on, the vehicle indicated that the rear passenger door was open (which it was not). At this moment the side curtain passenger airbag deployed, which almost caused me to crash. Basically, the passenger side-curtain airbag deployed for no reason.

Hello my name is Sonia Temperle and since late October, early November I haven’t been able to start my 2008 Jeep Cherokee Limited on a constant regular basis, and now currently can’t get it to start at all. Sometimes it starts but most the time not at all after numerous times of trying. I have not been able to drive my Jeep that I pay $634 a month between insurance and loan payment because I never know if it does start will it start after I shut it off or will I be stranded. If it even starts at all to begin with!! This has been going on for MONTHS. I literally can’t drive it at all. I did get a recall for the ignition switch, which has not been fixed because EVERY dealership I have called says they don’t have the parts and there is nothing they can do for me. Not even give me a loaner vehicle to drive while my Jeep sits in THEIR lot waiting to be fixed.But I don’t believe it’s just the ignition switch I believe it starts with the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module)

Problem goes back to N23 recall in 2013. Remote start put vehicle in netural and could roll off. Fix caused the vehicle not to be able to be shifted into 4 wheel low (on 4 wheel drive vehicles so equipped). Jeep/Chrysler came out with a new software fix in June of 2014. In the meantime many owners (now including me) have been told that the 4 wheel drive actuator needs to be replaced. Jeep is charging customer to have this done. This is not right and is costing consumers lots of money or else they are stuck with a vehicle that will not shift into 4 low as was sold to them.

Car randomly stalls and stops in middle of road while driving. Ongoing problem for about two years. Brought to dealer 8 times now and they claim there is no problem. Reached out to Chrysler who opened a case and then refused to respond or help.

The vehicle turns off without warning while driving or stopped. Has happened to my since the day I bought the vehicle. It has been under warranty and so Chrysler covers the repairs or should I say the attempts. It has been to 2 different Jeep dealerships for a total of 6-7 times and continues to shut off.

Jeep will completely turn off while driving at random times and at random speeds. this includes highway and local roads. more than once, while driving at high speeds on the highway, the car turned off and i had to coast to the shoulder, turn the ignition switch to off and restart the car. car will also intermittently not accelerate above 40 mph. the car has been brought to more than one repair shop and no one can find anything wrong with it that would cause this dangerous situation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v567000 (electrical system) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. the vehicle was taken brown’s jeep chrysler dodge ram (483 route 112 patchogue, ny 11772, (631)289-8500) where it was confirmed that the part was not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Sucede que aveces cuando el carro despues de que este estacionado o apagado , quiero volver a encender el carro y no enciende ,cuando giro la llave solo se enciende las luces del tablero pero no logra a arrancar el motor

Nhtsa camp.14v567000- came out after work and car would not start.no dash lights no start. towed to home. full battery, no fuse issues. isolated to win unit. have contacted dealer, he will order part for $350.00. 2 day wait. will update.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. after pulling off the road and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 101,000.

When using the lane change feature of the turn signals (i.e. depressing the turn signal lever until you hit the first detent, which then activates three turn signal flashes and then automatically turns off)it occasionally flashes the wrong direction. you want to indicate right but it may flash left, it may flash all left signals or some left and some right during the same sequence. it happens in both left and right directions. it happens during about 5% of the time when using the lane change, turn signal feature. i have contacted jeep but received no assistance.

Turn signal for lane change (flash signal) rebounds by itself to signal the opposite direction. at first i thought i was hitting the turn indicator after the "flash" in the correct direction, but it is a faulty device. drivers see you signal a lane change, as your making the change as indicated, the turn signal (by its self) will signal the other way (it rebounds from the flashed direction to the other direction). other drivers don't know your intentions, they think you are coming back into the lane you just changed from. its is dangerous and frustrating. my opinion is a forced recall to replace the turn indication should occur, it is not safe. it may have occurred a few times from a regular turn indicator, where the turn signal handle is fully engaged, but almost always it will occur for the lane change "flash" signal. it is not me hitting indicator.

Vehicle turned off while driving down the highway. lost power steering and power brakes and came to rest in the middle of the highway. vehicle indicated problem was failed electric throttle control. problem reoccurred 8 times while driving the vehicle to the dealer for service. vehicle would start and go and would then shut off randomly. major safety issue.

Vehicle while driving the key in the ignition on position would randomly, while driving kick to the off position. it would require placing the car in park and re-start the vehicle. there is an active recall for this issue, but it does not include my vin number.

I bought the vehicle. in less than 1000 miles within purchase the 4w drive light came on. i was parked on a curb at a retirement home and a ambulance was parked in front of me. while i was inside people ran in and said my jeep was rolling away and it hit the ambulance in front of me. the jeep was parked and turned off when it rolled away. witnesses and the police report confirm this. after getting the run around from the dealership for 6 months i took it somewhere else to get it looked at and was told the transfer case needed to be replaced.

Bought used 2008 jeep grand cherokee. it stalls for no reason. twice i thought it was because of cold weather but 2 days ago it stalled on a warm day in thick traffic and had a very hard time getting to a parking lot, due to no steering, etc. talked to mechanic twice about problem and they can not figure it out. chatted with jeep corporation on their chat line. they only suggested that i go to jeep dealer (really expensive) and if there are any repairs, keep a receipt in case there is a recall on the problem - a problem which has occurred with several of their other car models.

Jeep stalls while driving down the road and will not restart unless the key is removed then put back in and turned on. it happens in drive on any road way. turning, in park, and in reverse. has happened at highway speeds of 70 mph. this has happened many times.

Between february 2016 to september 2016 my 2008 jeep grand cherokee has been experience a fail to start. this has been happening intermittently. i have had to tow the car 4 times and it has been to the dealership twice. first was told the battery was the issue, and after changing the battery it continued to happen. now they say its the starter. i have a case number with fca us (jeep customer service) not any help! jeep needs to figure what is wrong with my car and stop throwing parts at it!!!

I had the recalled ignition switch put in in may and it was shaking when i picked it up, then i would lose electrical power to the radio, now it stalled and will not start, looks like the block is cracked. i have only had this for 3 years and paid 16,000.00 for it obviously it was an internal issue.

Takata recall... my jeep had accelerated on its own 5 times now. two of which i was on m24 which is a very busy road. first time i almost hit a man on a motorcycle as my foot was cramming on my brake peddle the jeep was still accelerating, i then had to put it in neutral to get it to stop. pulled over its still reving itself up. i had to turn it off and back on. today this happened and i almost rear ended a semi truck.

While driving at freeway speeds (approximately 75mph) the vehicle intermittently stalled several times and twice in 1-hr it completely shutdown. the motor lost all power. it requires a complete restart of the vehicle. the key must be turned to the off position and restarted. it has done this several times before. it seams to happen under a load or while accelerating or pulling a hill. it has happened in high traffic circumstances and has at times been difficult and dangerous to pull to the side of the road. i've taken it to jeep to have it repaired. they apparently have a star case number s1218000003 in which they say to change the spark plugs. this seems like a dangerous situation to put consumers in.

Called browns automotive 483 rt 112 patchogue ny 11772 (631) 289-8500 on may 16, 2016 in reference to my wireless ignition node recall. was told they would put me on a waiting list for repair and that it could be a few weeks (spoke with jess). called back june 1st, briana told me i was #38 on the waiting list. called june 28th chrissy told me i was #30 on the waiting list. called july 29th doreena told me i was #27 on the waiting list. at this rate i will not have my recall fixed until sometime in 2017.

After 5 minutes of driving the emergency brake light (e-brake was not on), the abs module light, and the esp bas light came on simultaneously and would not turn off. i tried to reset the computer manually multiple times to see if the lights would eventually turn off but every time they came on. i then took the vehicle into a repair shop that specializes in jeep repair and they ran diagnostics and told me that i required a new abs module assembly, passenger seat belt latch and a clock-spring assembly for the drivers side and r/f brake caliper that had broken off for no reason. i was told that if i were to get in an accident not only would my brakes not lock preventing further damage but my driver air bag would not deploy as well causing inevitable injury. this had cost me almost $1400 not to mention i was without a vehicle for several days.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. while driving 40 mph, the vehicle accelerated without warning. the contact depressed the brake pedal and shifted the gear into neutral, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. the contact coasted into a parking lot, turned off the engine, waited ten minutes, and restarted the engine. the contact was able to resume driving. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

While driving, gauge lights turn on. sometimes displaying zero. when vehicle is tested, errors come up, we fix it only to try 10 miles and lights come back on. sometimes, interior lights will not turn on when door is opened. this problem has been ongoing for a couple of years. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. the contact stated that while driving approximately 65-70 mph, the steering wheel failed to move and the vehicle stalled. the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the contact was informed by an independent mechanic that the engine needed to be replaced. the battery, starter, and engine oil were replaced however, the vehicle failed to restart. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehcile was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mielage was 113,000.

The sunroof drain does not work properly causing water to pour out of the center ceiling map lights,the garage door control panel, the driver side column, and the handle to get into the vehicle. this causes a major distraction while driving and also can cause severe electrical damage, water damage to the interior and mold/mildew build up. .

The vehicle fails to start unexpectedly. the condition appears to be intermittant occurs without warning, and can result in serious and dangerous consequences for the motorist, should the inability to re-start the vehicle occur when located in a remote area where help is not available. there have been and continue to be complaints by owners of this vehicle and similar year jeeps posted throughout the internet on related various forums. the general implication is that chrysler is aware of the problem but for some reason is not able to offer a solution. this has caused undue burden on the consumer, in addition to costs associated with ineffective repairs whether performed by certified chrysler dealer repair stations or independent repair entities. stories of motorists being stranded and subjected to insecure situations or forced to leave their vehicles and finding alternative means of getting home or to a safe place are not uncommon. i urge the nhtsa to investigate how extensive this issue of failing jeep ignition systems is, and to force chrysler/fiat corporation to initiate a recall to fix this problem once and for all.

I have two 2008 jeep grand cherokee's. recently i became aware of the fca group p57 recall which is an updated ignition cylinder and wireless module after asking around my circle about my two vehicles stalling. most recently my wife and child where driving at 110kph driving straight when her gc shut off. she safely pulled to the side but this is extremely unnerving. my gc has also turned off, but mine has been at lower speeds or when idling. my vin is 1j8hr48m48c522270 her vin is 1j8hr68m08c504912 my local dealer has said there is no oustanding recall and that p57 does not apply to either of my vins. \this is confusing since my existing ignition cylinders are the same as those coverend under the recall and the new part requires a push-to-turn (mine do not have this now).

I received a noticed but was told my bin number was not included within the recall notice. the ignition key (fobik) does not return to "on" position sometimes after been rotated to the "start" position, instead sticking between the two position.

The key fob gets stuck in the ignition when the vehicle is turned off and put in park. if you shake the shifter when it's in park with your foot on the brake and the key turned to as far as it will go before turning the car on it will usually come out after a few attempts and cycles of this process. yesterday, for the first time, it was locked in the ignition and wouldn't turn the vehicle on. i don't know that this sensor issue is related, but the tire pressure sensor is always on even when the tire pressure is filled to recommended levels.

Smoke coming out of hood while driving. pulled into fire station in milford, mi and smoke was getting heavier. firemen assisted and said less than a minute entire engine compartment would have been on fire. wire connected to alternator was "shorting" and sparks were melting cable wrapping and plastic engine cover. fire department has report

The ignition won't turn to on when i put the fob in the ignition. there was a recall # p57 but it seems that my vin # doesn't fall under this recall. who can i speak with regarding this? thank you. *tr

When filling up my jeep with gas the filler neck over flows every single time and i heard the counterparts on the dodge durango is having the same issue and there is a recall on them fixing the same issue. this is a huge environmental hazard and since other jeep owners i know with the same make and model are having the same issue.

I was driving 15 to 20 minutes from home and my check engine came on. i immediately took it to my local gas station (25 yrs relationship) and the car stalled while close to the station losing all steering power. the owner took a look and said give me 24hrs to diagnose. the next day he showed me what happened....the water-pump internal bearing has broken causing the shaft to move back and forth causing the internal water-pump flywheel to break apart. this caused the water pump to dump all the coolant on the ground within 15 to 20 minutes. final diagnosis was the engine seized due to lack of coolant pumping thru the engine. a new engine was the only solution. i can understand the water-pump having minor leaks with gradual leakage ...this would have been caught by the puddles under the engine but not the rapid drainage i experienced. i reach out to jeep hotline.... told the story and was willing to provide photos and physical parts for their qa and rd department to evaluate for design flaw. they were not interested and told me sorry out of warranty...and gave me no support or directions to send photos or physical parts. i'm concerned about other drivers who may experience this situation where death and injury may occur. i tried to attach 5 photo below...let me know if all 5 came thru. thanks for your support. remember all the failure was inside the sealed water-pump so corrosion and potential external rust issue was not a factor. thanks in advance .......[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Vehicle had issue resolved by recall p57 where key fob would stick in ignition between off and on. the key first got stuck in the ignition on 8/14/14, a memorable day, because it happened on the day we were going to the title company to close on our first home. at the same time the ignition switch issue started the airbag light came on and all the steering wheel functions are disabled. the horn no longer works. it is unknown if the airbags work. this is clearly a safety issue but the dealership wants to charge $90 just to hook the vehicle up to their machines to diagnose what is going on and will not consider this as related to the recall p57. not being able to honk in the interest of safety is a problem. it is unknown if the airbags are functional so i guess it will take getting in an accident to find out (an accident which cannot be prevented by honking my horn to warn another driver).

I was traveling on montrose parkway in rockville, md. i was traveling at about 45mph. i approached a slight bend to the left that had a slight decline. i lost control on debris that was left over from an accident earlier that morning. i struck and went over the curb with the right side of my vehicle. i went head on into a steel light post incased in a concert footer. the vehicle sustained very extensive damage to the front end. the airbags did not deploy during the collision. this is a very major concern to me because this could have turned out way worse, but i was very, very lucky to be able to only sustain bruising. this vehicle was a total loss.

I was notified of a recall earlier this year concerning the wireless ignition node (win). when i went to the dealership i was told that the part in question was on back order (part # r57xbn) and was told to check back to see when they would come in. about three or four weeks ago i stopped in at bob and chuck eddy, 4850 mahoning avenue, austintown, ohio and spoke with santana williams who made an appointment for me today at 9:30. when i arrived to drop of my vehicle i was told that they was no appointment for me. i then explained the issue and handed him her card with my appointment information on it. i was then told not to worry they will take care of me. at this point the person i was talking to disappeared for a while and upon returning informed me that the part was not in. he then gave me the part number and told me to call every week until it came in and then they would schedule an appointment. it appears that the plan is to just keep putting it off until i get an accident or just trade in the vehicle.

For several months my vehicle has been shutting off while i am driving due to the key fob popping out of place. i went to the dealer in january 2015 and was told the part is not ready and to call for an update. i have called and been back several times only to be placed on a waiting list. i have been contacting them and getting the same response the part is not available. on 9/16/2015 while operating the vehicle i noticed the navigation/radio console start to pixilate and become inoperable then the console blacked out, after that the entire dash board lit up and i received several system warnings (service gauges, park assist disabled, check sensors, service suspension, my engine light and wipers came on, i was unable to signal, use my lights or turn off the wipers) all of this happened while i was driving. i made a right turn into the parking lot out of fear at this time i heard the key fob pop back and the car completely powered down and i was unable to break because the brakes locked up. the parking lot was semi-empty so i was able to maneuver until is rolled to a stop. i thought i was going to die. i need a resolution now, i still have two years worth of payments left and i want this problem resolved.

I waited for over one year for the dealership to respond for repair of the recalls p57 / nhtsa 14v-567 (and p73). they completed the repair(s) august 25, 2015 - no charge. however, the vehicle immediately, and ever since, has shown the exact same symptoms. i returned the vehicle to the dealership and they now say that the problem is different and my cost will be approximately $500.00. this does not seem right.

Vehicle turn signal randomly indicates the wrong direction. has happened multiple times in vehicle. it appears to affect the right turn signal more than the left. occasionally it will flash the wrong turn signal once, then it flashes the correct one. however there has been instances where it flashed the wrong direction the entire time the lever was in position. during a visit to dealer for a recall on another part, the service manager informed me that there are new module updates available. however he would not inform me what they fixed, and they would end up costing me $90/ service flash. this should not be legal for the dealers to charge for a safety related update. provided that the update is for that issue

This vehicle was taken to jeep on 10/10/2013 due to the airbag light coming on. there were 112,988 miles on the vehicle. the vehicle was serviced for this, $400, as well as brake pads, and diagnostics, $600.63. on 10/21/13, at 113,851 miles, the light came back on and had to be taken back to the dealer for service. there was no charge for this service as the vehicle was just seen for a similar issue. i received a notification in the mail the week of 8/17/2015 from fca on the status of the p57/nhtsa 14-567 recall for the wireless ignition module (win). upon reading the recall notification sent out, fca recognizes that the "win position spring back may also cause the disabling of one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal airbags." at approximately 120,000 miles, the airbag light went off again and was intermittently illuminated until 123,000 miles, where the light has stayed continuously on. i called the local dealer to inquire if they had parts, and they do not have the parts in stock for the recall, but i was added to a waiting list. upon requesting information on the airbag, i was immediately told that the airbag was not covered under the recall, even thought he notification specifically mentioned the airbags. the clerk gave me a 1-800 number for jeep. i called the jeep 1-800 number and was connected to an agent whom i inquired about the airbag as well and was told that i would have to pay to diagnose the airbag. why should i have to pay to diagnose the airbag if the recall notification mentions that the airbags could have been affected. i feel that jeep should be diagnosing the airbags on the customer's behalf. this recall has been going on for almost a year with them just getting to a resolution. you would think they would want to go the extra mile for their customers.

Multiple incidents of unintended change in ignition switch position to the off position, resulting in engine shutdown, electrical and power steering completely shutdown/lock. first occurrence (approximately 2010) was during a left-hand turn, which nearly caused a multiple vehicle accident. constant airbag light warning. multiple other occurrences since then, resulting in multiple calls to dealer and contact to 1800 numbers provided. fac p57/nhtsa 14v-567 important safety recall notice received and dealer again contacted. however, i was advised that the ignition is no longer in production and there is no way of knowing if/when the part will become available. accordingly, no repair/remedy can be made. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My complaint is with the goodyear fortera h.l. tires.they tend to hydroplane even on a level surface and rain water is evenly distributed across the roadway.even brand new set has same problem.it seems to me that it is due to the sidewall tread pattern.i have brought it to east hills jeep (greenvale,n.y.) and they say it's not their problem.i took it to goodyear,(freeport,n.y.) and the store manager says that he has sold them but has never noticed that on the right side mounted tires-the sidewall tread pattern faces forward.on the left side mounted tires the sidewall tread pattern faces the rear. these tires are on the honda,pilot. the chevy,traverse. the ford,edge and the jeep grand cherokee 2008 which i own....sometimes when i am in places like shopping malls,and i see other drivers of the fore mentioned vehicles i will ask them if they have had unwanted hydroplaning with their vehicle and they respond yes,i point out that i believe it's the tire.i also show them that the right side faces forward and the left side faces the rear and most of them say they never noticed it until i've brought it to their attention. i rotate my tires about every 6,000 miles.i try to keep a good wheel alignment and this problem persists. i obtained a second pair from the dealer and yet another from goodyear and even their mechanics did not notice until i spoke up and pointed it out to them. almost everyone i've spoken to say they never noticed this before.one mechanic at goodyear went back inside and checked to see if these tires are considered omnidirectional,and found that they are not. also even reading reviews on this tire,i found no one who seems to get more than 35,000 miles off these tires. can you help me get to the root of this complaint.or is it just me ? please give me some feedback.

9/1/15 at approximately 8:20 p.m. unintended change in ignition switch to the off position resulting in engine shutdown, electrical and power steering completely shutdown/lock. collision averted by pulling resting 45 degree angle against the curb. engine restarted thereafter. t/c to another dealership (this time downtown los angeles) and i am glad to report an appointment for this coming friday, 9/4/15.

We contacted west brothers chrysler dealership in sullivan, mo in feb. 2015 due to multiple recalls on the jeep. they were aware the jeep was not running, we were told to tow it to dealership on feb 26, 2015 and that all parts would be there in 2 to 3 weeks, i agreed to pay for a diagnostic test if the jeep still would not start after recall was complete. i was told diagnostic test could not be done until after the p57 recall was complete. after several months of being told parts would be in i received a phone call from joe boulware on july 23, 2015 stating we had one day to move the jeep or it would be towed. he said he had spoke with my son (the previous owner) on several occasions telling him to move jeep. this was false as my son was incarcerated all the dates he gave. we met with general manager who said we were not welcome to do business there anymore due to my health issues and accusations made by joe boulware, they refused to do recalls on this jeep or on another chrysler truck i own that needs a safety recall done. in our presence, but not on speaker phone the general manager telephoned chrysler to inquire when p57 part would be in, he identified himself using my sons name who is in the missouri department of corrections instead of his own, he told us the help line informed him they had no estimated date for part to be released, when i spoke with chrysler they found record of his call on 8-18-15 but information would have been false as part became available 8-14-15. i filed complaint with chrysler and they issued the dealership a red letter complaint.

Went to get in my car to go to work and it wouldn't start. i assumed it was just a battery. so i called aaa to jump me. he advised that your key should not wiggle when in the ignition. he was 90% sure that was the cause for my battery issue. he jumped me so i could get to the garage to have it tested to see if it was a battery or another issue because he didn't want to replace battery if that is the issue because it would drain it again. i went .8 of a mile and was stopped in traffic and all the lights started flashing on the dash and it went dead. called again to get jumped. i went 5 feet and it staled out again. he had me towed to dealership because he thinks it is part of the recall. went to dealership, they couldn't give me a loaner and told me if part of recall it would take 3-4 weeks to get the part. i don't have another car. next day called on it and eventually was advised that it was the ignition recall but i had to pay for the battery. i don't feel i should have to pay for that because it was drained because of the product recall. next day- drove 15 miles and the check engine light came on. took it back and the dealership doesn't know what is wrong. i didn't get the notice of recall until 08/24/15 at 3:00 in the mail. it was released in 2014, why am i just getting it now. i could have been killed in it because of this recall. if i would have been on the highway and it just stopped, i would have been killed. there is something majorly wrong with these jeeps and the way people send out these recalls.

I have been waiting for over a year for a part that doesn't exist. it has gotten a lot worse with the humidity changes and every time i start the jeep it sticks. i was told to call at the beginning of every week to see if the part comes in. they also told me that they are limited to how many they get each week. i am beyond this bull crap on waiting for a part that's just so simple as they claim to replace.

Chrysler has a recall for my 2008 jeep grand cherokee for the ignition switch p57/nhtsa 14v-567. the part is not available to repair my vehicle and they do not have an estimated or actual date this part will be in. chrysler refuses to accommodate the customers with a loaner vehicle. why is chrysler not accountable for my car troubles after the recall (which i never received a recall notice)? the government fined chrysler 70 million dollars and will fine additional monies if the vehicles are not repaired. why am i suffering and not being accommodated with a working vehicle when the billion dollar industry (chrysler) has a mishap? my experience: - when vehicle ignition is turned off it only goes ½ the way, the key fob sticks and will not exit. this causes the radio clock light and the gear shift panel to stay lit, which in turn drains the battery. (had to purchase a jump start kit $70.00 + tax) for when the battery is dead. - since, the key will not exit the ignition i must leave my work area at least twice a day (sometimes more) to check, if the key fob will come out. once it took 11 hours before key would exit, after running the engine for over 3 hours. i am in jeopardy of losing my livelihood if this issue continues for much longer. it has been going on for months. the recall started november, 2014. how long will i suffer, because i don’t have money to purchase a different vehicle and why does this always affect the most unfortunate individuals like me. - there is a 90% chance that my vehicle will be stolen (since key is left in the ignition). i work in durham, nc on the week-end; i pray that i will be able to get back to raleigh if this happens. i cry most nights in fear of losing my jobs. please, help me!!!!!!

Important safety recall letter received back november 2014. chrysler admits to a serious problem with ignition switch with the fobik and they admit in their recall letter that as result of the particular fobik failure could "increase the risk of crash under certain driving conditions." also, the letter states "fobik" spring back may also cause the disabling of one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal airbags. this could increase the risk of vehicle occupant injury during a crash." my complaint is there is still no part available for this problem and it has been over 6 months. i am very concerned and wondering what i can do? what would you do? love and compassion and gratitude.

My 2008 jeep grand cherokee stalled out on the freeway when i was stopping for traffic. since then it has stalled multiple times. pulling away from a stop sign; pulling into my driveway; driving on the freeway with or without cruise on. even while i was trailering my boat. i can re-start the jeep by quickly putting trans into neutral:turning the ignition off than engaging the starter. it won't re-start unless you turn the ignition off first. i don't believe it to be a key/ignition switch problem. i believe it to be a computer control problem. when my jeep stalls; the key is in its proper position every time.

I get routine maintenance on my vehicle and it is in excellent condition. i was heading off to work and it would not start whatsoever. no clicking, no noise; nothing happened. i took it to a dealership where it was there for a week, and i was told it was due to the ignition recall from chrysler. i have been going back and forth with chrysler as to when i can get info on the part. i get no response from them. i have wasted so much time and vacation days to get this taken care of. i get nothing. i have to pay upfront for my rental car which chrysler tells me i can then apply for a reimbursement that takes 60 days to get back if approved. i am making payments on a dead car that has no solution to it. in the meantime, the dealership is telling me that it is not their problem and i have to deal with chrysler directly. i am stuck and out of options i just don't know what to do. it is very frustrating and chrysler doesn't even care about the fact that i fully trusted them in the first place by making this purchase for my family's main transportation. please if there is anything i can do to further discuss my situation to get a better response from chrysler please let me know. i will never buy another chryler jeep vehicle in my lifetime.

Beginning immediately upon purchase, the vehicle will shut down (apparently the ignition key /system fails) and the vehicle engine stoops with subsequent loss of power to brakes, steering, etc. this event happens regularly and has placed me in very dangerous circumstances when crossing intersections, merging into traffic and during interstate highway travel at respective speeds. the frequency is two or more times per week, some times per day. this vehicle is unsafe to drive, but i have to have transportation.

I was notified of a recall dated 11/10/14, number 957 nhtsa 14v-567. i was advised the part required was not available. i have looked this recall up on your website and the status states that no remedy is available, seven months later! according to the recall notice, this could "increase the risk of crash under certain driving conditions", "this could increase the risk of vehicle occupant injury during a crash". therefore, apparently i, occupants of my car, and others are in danger. i need to request immediate attention to this long overdue recall. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).” *jb

I was driving my 2008 jeep grand cherokee & was going about 15-20mph when suddenly my car turned off. no warning, no sputtering, no symbols flashing on the dash, nothing. it just simply died. i only realized my car was completely off when i happened to look at my dashboard and the gas gage was on e and the speedometer and mileage were not on. i tried my hardest to steer and luckily i was able to pull into a parking lot. i opened the hood and checked the battery cables and they were fine. the truck started up again but this incident scared me to death. i had just gotten off the highway when this happened and i am a mom of 3. i called my local jeep dealer the next day. the service guy told me to remove some of my keys from my key holder and in his words "this is a band-aid fix for now, there is a recall for ignition problems but it won't be rolling out until september". what?? this is unacceptable. it should be fixed now.

On december 24, 2013, my 2008 jeep grand cherokee stopped in a parking lot in buffalo and the ignition key was not working. i was stranded in the cold in the middle of night. the jeep was towed to the jeep dealer. the dealer ordered the part and fixed the car with a new part to fix the ignition problem. in january 2015, i received a safety recall notice about ignition key and mailed the claim for reimbursement with the paid receipt of repair performed on 1/6/2014. i have mailed two letters for request for reimbursement, but i have not received any response or payment from jeep chrysler. thank you.

On or about 19 nov 2014, i received a recall notice from chrysler on the "ignition switch" for my 2008 jeep grand cherokee overland edition. that notice number is p57/nhtsa 14v-567. i have called the dealer several times to ask about availability of parts to have my jeep repaired....all to no avail. the dealer says they haven't received the parts from chrysler. today in the mail i received another recall notice, this time for the "final drive control module", recall notice p73. after another unsuccessful call to the dealer, i decided to call the fca (fiat chrysler automobiles) us customer assistance center at 1-800-853-1403 and see what chrysler's story was. at fca, i spoke with a very nice and likely very young woman named stephanie who informed me that chrysler does not have a subcontractor to make the part needed to make the repair. she informed me that i would be placed on the "list" of those to be notified by email when a part became available. that is an unacceptable answer and i told her i would be contacting the nhtsa with my complaint. now on your site, i see that you are about to hold hearings on recall repair delays by chrysler and clearly my story falls well within those parameters. let's see what you can do to break through this logjam....threaten not to loan them money the next time they screw up or whatever. thanks.

There was a recall on this vehicle placed on november 10, 2014. since the recall on the ignition, my jeep has had multiple occasions in which the ignition key is malfunctioning and i get a loss of certain electrical features. i have spoken to chrysler on several occasions requesting a rental vehicle until my vehicle can get fixed as this is a safety issue.

When going above 50 miles per hour, specifically on highways, as soon as i hit a large bump in the road, the key "bumps" out of the on position and into the off position. as a result, i loose power steering, brake assist, lights, turn signals, and all other power. i am able to put my 4 way flashers on and steer off the road, restart the car, and get back on the road. this has happened multiple times. the most recent was yesterday when going 70 on the highway while being tailgated by a tractor trailer. when the key slipped, i was almost completely taken out by the tractor trailer. this issue is a known recall; however, when reaching out to jeep and other local dealerships, i am being told that the part is not available. they are not offering any solutions to remedy the issue in the meantime. i was told that if i wanted a rental, it would be out of pocket. it is not safe to drive my kids around or commute to my job an hour away from home. jeep does not have an estimated time of when the part will be available.

This shall serve to inform you that i owner of a jeep cherokee laredo 2008 has filed numerous complaints with the department of motor vehicles concerning a recall with my ignition switch. it has been over two years and i am stilling for my ignition switch part to be ordered. the vehicle on numerous occasions has proved to be unsafe by stopping abruptly on the highway by losing power, parking lots by failing to start or on the road by losing speed where i could literally release the brake pedal and the car could not move. this is not only dangerous especially when i am in the car with my family on the highway and my ignition switch makes my car lose power, not only can i cause an accident and harm my family and i but other vehicles with their passengers too. i would like to know that matters are being taken to find parts to replace the faulty ignition switch. how long is it reasonable to wait for recall part to be order and fixed for my vehicle, until some tragic accident occurs? i am writing to inform you, if there is ever an incident, not only will i will file legal action against the department of motor vehicles.

We were driving down the road and the jeep shut off. no power at all. wheel locked and we about crashed. thought maybe the ignition kicked back. (recall). nope there wasn't any power at all after trying to restart the jeep. called the dealer. they said chrysler is aware of the win failing and are aware of the tsb but refuse to recall the jeeps because they say it's too expensive to recall all the vehicles affected by these issues. so to recap.... we almost crashed the jeep at 55mph which would have killed my wife, our young twin boys, and myself. but for chrysler to recall these vehicles would be too expensive. so after a $200 tow bill and 2 hours in -20 degrees in an ohio winter with no heat the jeep still won't start. after a little bit of research i've have discovered that the chrysler electrical systems are very poor and any static electricity will short them out. please do something about these issues before someone loses a family member or their own life. i will gladly sell this vehicle back to chrysler for the amount i paid. i have paid 10k and owe 9k still. please force them to do something! anything at all!

Vehicle turns off while i am driving. this has occurred 4 times. i lose power steering, & power brakes. i also have had many incidents where it won't start unless i take the key put, and put it back in. or it will start, then immediately turn off. i have gotten messages that i have the wrong key. i have had the battery, starter, key fobs, and key sensor replaced.

Drove the car home where it would not turn over, the key would not turn the engine on. luckily, this did not happen while driving or there would have been an accident. it was as if the part that the key went in was jammed. the car was towed to the dealership where it was determined that the wcm was not recognizing the keys. the wcm was replaced and as a result, two new fobiks had to be purchased. the dealership tested both the power and the ground to the wcm, all tested good, found that the wcm was not recognizing the keys that were in the ignition. we received the recall on the fobiks, and submitted the paperwork for reimbursement. we waited the 60 days that was required but when calling about the refund was told that we would have to wait for the second recall in order to be reimbursed. i was told that even if there had been no problem with my vehicle, and if i would have taken the car to the dealership for a new wcm, i would have to pay for the repair and then wait for the second recall notice before reimbursement. the representative repeated this info to me several times b/c i could not believe what i was hearing. i asked for a supervisor and none was available. the supervisor was to call me back but i received no such call. per the recall, i have provided a copy of the original receipt and i confirmed that they did receive the receipt. i am asking for the chrysler recall to reimburse me for my expense as their recall states "reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days". *tr

I shut the vehicle off and went back to start. i was able to turn electronic key the electronics came on but it wouldn't turn the engine over. went back the next day and it did start, took to spirit jeep, swedesboro, nj. they ran diagnostics and determined to be win module. contacted chrysler and told it was not part of the recall, i am having fixed anyway. prior to this there were two incidents that may be related, around a month or two before the motor turned off while in traffic, i shifted to neutral and restarted. i thought i may have hit the key with my knee. the second incident was that the airbag alarm on the dash came on, had it diagnosed at a local garage and they said that it was the passenger seatbelt was defective so i believe he disarmed the airbag. after looking online it seems that these are repetitive problems with chrysler products. and are related to the l25 recall. this is no cheap fix $750 for module and 2 keys. anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. *tr

My vehicle shut off going over a bump in the road. my vehicle has done this on numerous occasions, twice in the middle of intersections and once on a railroad track. i was sent an important safety recall notice from chrysler (notification code p57) approximately 3 months ago and have not heard anything since then and this issue has progressively got worse over the last several months. i did contact the local chrysler dealership and they had no information to provide and i also had my vehicle in to be serviced for this issue about one year ago with no issue identified by riverside auto group in marinette, wi. i also called chrysler at 800-853-1403 and they had no update on this issue or any idea when this recall would occur to fix this issue. i cannot afford to purchase a different vehicle and this issue has become a safety concern for me and my family. what recourse do i have here? am i expected to continue driving a vehicle with serious safety issues with the ignition switch just because chrysler is not addressing this issue in a timely fashion? does the nhtsa have any other recourse i can take on this? i am certain i am not alone with this issue and i would hate to see someone get hurt or killed, because of the lack of prioritizing by chrysler. *tr

I have received a recall letter prior to this date and when i called the dealer they said they had no information on this recall. i was parked and when i turned the key it stuck after the car tried to start back in the accessory position. i asked the dealer how long before the details and parts would be in. still no details to date. any update when i can get an appt. concerns me the other part of this recall is vehicle shuts down while going down the road? thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

While driving the vehicle on the hwy all the interior lights on the dashboard flickered on, and then the car lost power. has happened multiple times since the, and we haven't driven it in 3 months. chrysler sent us a recall notice last year, but still has not manufactured a part to replace this safety recall. recall # p57 / nhtsa 14v-567. since this problem started i have wasted time and money trying to have it repaired..... and it keeps on happening. jeep dealers should issue loaner cars, until they have a part to fix this. *tr

Problem started with the key fob not releasing when trying to turn off the vehicle and will stick between the ignition and auxiliary positions. i have to wait for 10-15 minutes or disconnect the battery cables in order to remove the key fob and lock my vehicle. now the key fob will move to the auxiliary position or in between the auxiliary and on position while driving. this has caused the engine to stall and almost caused me to have an accident on the highway with my children in the vehicle. jeep/chrysler has been absolutely no help as i have been told that my jeep was produced one month after the effective date of the ignition recall and they will not fix it. i went to the jeep dealership where i purchased the vehicle and was told that this was a "common problem" but a month later i am still waiting for the ignition module. now i have a jeep that i believe is not safe for my family to travel in and am constantly getting a run-around from the dealership when attempting to get this problem repaired. *tr

Wife pulled into parking lot and hit bump and engine shut down freezing steering wheel scaring wife. happened once before. took into dealer(jan-'14) and was told key was too heavy and became loose in ignition causing car to shut down. (charged $106). fall 2014, recalls started being announced for same problem(same key as we have); filed complaint to chrysler in nov. 2014(case #26001552) and chrysler said our vin not under recall. same key/ same problem, but not under recall? they implied, if under recall might be able to credit $106 back. currently: interested in 3 things: 1) include my vehicle under recall- very dangerous and people must be advised, if she were driving faster, could have been major accident. 2) credit back $106- dealer did nothing but tell me key is heavy. 3) current key needs replaced- i will pay for this, but will it be the same key? will it be redesigned, what should i do? thank you *tr

Was advised of recall 14v567000 affecting my vehicle about 6 months ago. was told no parts available to repair ignitions. about 3 months ago started to have starting problems with ignition. contacted dealer and told that we had to keep waiting for parts. now vehicle is horrible to try to get the ignition to start. have to keep turning key fob back and forth. contacted dealer again for ignition repair and we were told only to contact chrysler customer assistance. contacted chrysler and they told us to get car serviced. but service dept says they can't replace ignition without approval on limited parts from chrysler. giving us a headache and inoperable car. made a complaint to them and now they told us we misunderstood directive from service. they got service to allow us to schedule brining in car. next available date of service is in three weeks. and we have to pay costs upfront as no parts available still for this recall that was issued over 6 months ago. getting frustrated with inoperable car. *tr

Have had nothing but problems with this jeep. purchased it as a certified pre-owned and it has been in the dealer for service a substantial amount. main issue is the car does not start when i turn the key fob. have got towed to the dealership three times with this same issue, once in may 2014, again in july 2014 and again in september 2014. dealer cannot find solution to fix. coincidentally, i receive a notice from chrysler in november 2014, notice number p57 which states there is a recall on the ignition! i went for (3) weeks in may and a full month in july with a loaner! four months after i receive the recall notice, the problem is not fixed. my ''ad hoc'' solution when car does not start is to slam the door with the key in the ignition position. this seems to start the car. pitiful that this is how i must start the car now as there seems to be nothing else i can do... *tr

On this first occurrence, and numerous times since, the engine will shut down. sometimes while sitting motionless (e.g. at a traffic light) but also at times while traveling on the road. it has occurred at times where great danger was eminent because it happened during the merging into traffic flow, while passing another vehicle and when trying to cross train tracks and through intersections. i have survived several close calls. i need this repaired asap! *tr

Ignition switch does not work property; once turned off- vehicle will not start for day(s) at a time; dealership manager stated to ?use caution? because the vehicle could turn off while driving, and that there is no know fix to recall p57; contacted chrysler for a loaner vehicle, multiple times, and expressed safety concerns especially during the winter month; chrysler is not will to give a loner, and states that the vehicle can be driven, and that a vehicle ignition switch issue "turning off" is not a safety concern, and their policy is to not give loaners for recalls; attempted to get a time from chrysler supervisor without any luck; the dealer has failed to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time. i am unable to use my vehicle while still making payments. *js

I received a recall notice in november from chrysler stating that there was a recall on my vehicle. recall #p57, an issue with the ignition. this could cause lose of electrical features while driving, including lose of power, steering, brakes, and could increase the risk of crash. the catch is there is no part available to fix the problem. luckily my car didn't crash, however it did fail to start. after having it towed (80 miles) to my local dealership they diagnosed the problem as the recall. i have spoken with both the dealership and chrysler and there is nothing anyone can do to help me. my car, that i take very good care and keep on top of all maintenance, is now a sitting duck. no one can give me any information on when a part may be available and no one can help me to get a car so that i can get to and from my job and live my daily life. i have been informed repeatedly that chrysler is "working diligently" to come up with a solution. to me it seems crazy that they can't come up with a part to fix an ignition! there are ignitions in every car! at this point i consider this situation gross negligence and chrysler could be putting somewhere around 300,000 drivers at risk of death because they cannot and will not fix this problem. i don't live very close to my work and there is no public transportation. my car is a necessity in my life and chrysler has taken that away from me and offers me no support. corporate giants need to be help accountable for their product. *tr

I received a recall notice about 4-5 months ago for my 2008 jeep grand cherokee. it is recall p57/nhtsa 14v-567 for an ignition switch. it states that some of the vehicles may experience a frequency operated button ignition key(fobik) that may stick between the "start" and "run" position. this may result in the loss of certain electrical features. it continues to state that the ignition position may result in the loss of certain electrical features and/or a loss of engine power, power steering assist, and/or power brake booster assist. i called the chrysler group recall assistance center 1-800-853-1403 and they told me that they do not have the part in and have no idea when the part will be in. i find this very disturbing and quite frankly not acceptable. this is a serious safety issue that can cause my car to shut off while driving and possibly crash. in my opinion that is not an acceptable response to thousands of people that are experiencing this and waiting to have this repaired. it has already been 4-5 months since the notice was mailed out. how is it possible to still not have the part in and/or an eta on when the part will be in stock? having ending the recall notice with "we're sorry for any inconvenience, but we are sincerely concerned about your safety" doesn't exactly speak to the response i received when i called chrysler. four to five months have passed and still no eta on when the part will be here. how concerned is chrysler? please, any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated not only for myself, but also for all of the other individuals that have to hear this non-sense from chrysler. this is putting thousands of people at a severe safety risk. *tr

While on an interstate expressway, engine ignition cut out, loosing power. by shifting to neutral & using the fob-key, engine was started while moving. this has happened repeatedly about six times lately. i believe this to be defect in the ignition switch assembly. contrary to chrysler info (p57; nhtsa 14v-567), i believe the fob-key was in the "run" detent position when this event occurred. (chrysler says this problem occurs when the fob-key passes the run position after starting). either way, the ignition switch is probably faulty. chrysler has not made available an improved ignition key assembly per their promise, and currently the old ignition switch assembly is backordered, so i can not affect any corrective action. loss of power in a congested traffic situation, or during maneuvering can cause loss of control and a serious accident. i seek a timely remedy to this unsafe situation. *tr

When turning off the jeep the key won't release for sometimes 10 min up to not at all and i must disconnect the battery. this has been happening 9 months, when it first happened i took it to the jeep dealer they charged me about $200.00 for a diagnostic test that told us nothing, so i paid to have them tell me they had no idea what was wrong but offered to sell me parts that they thought might help but no guarantee. i called chrysler to see if anyone else had this problem or if there was a recall, they said no. about october i got the recall in the mail saying when the had the parts they would contact me. today after being stranded for the third time with a dead battery i called chrysler to see if parts are in to do the repair, they said no had no idea of when they will be. this is my only transportation and i have medical issues that have put me i the hospital 3 times, i need reliable transportation. chrysler rep said the will not supply a rental or replacement vehicle while they figure this out. what am i to do. *js

The 5.7 liter hemi motor in all chrysler vehicles have this similar issue. the driver side exhaust manifold bolts break and an exhaust leak sputters out of the driver side engine compartment. i spoke to several mechanics and chrysler service technicians and they all confirm it is a common repair. i have also seen numerous complaints online. the cost to replace the manifold and drill out the broken bolts is around $700.00. although this is not a safety issue i still believe it should be recalled instead of the manufacturer passing the bill to the consumer. it occurs to nearly all 5.7 liter hemi engines at some point. *tr

While driving vehicle suddenly stalled wouldn't restart for several tries then finally did. never stalled again until recently. sometimes it starts in neutral other times it has to be put in park. upon restart vehicle drives as if nothing has ever happened. it now stalls at idle or when accelerating or even while driving at a steady rate of speed. i have been paying close attention to the key position and it seems normal in the on position and doesn't seem to be the reason behind this erratic stall situation. numerous accounts of similar situations have been noted here and on other websites. i keep my vehicle well maintained and tuned, it runs great. many times weeks or months go by without any stalls. *tr

I filed my second complaint on 07/14/2014 component(s): electronic stability control , unknown or other date of incident: 06/28/2014 nhtsa id number: 10610308 on 10/22 i transferred my jeep transmission into neutral to tow behind our rv. when i took my foot off the brake the jeep electronic fdcm threw it into 4wd and it lurched forward almost hitting our rv and my husband who was working on hooking up the vehicle. i warned your office in january and again in july that this was a safety issue but had no idea it could do this!! i was concerned about needing 4wd and not having it. now i am concerned about our physical safety. nothing has been done to make chrysler fiat step up, own up the n23 debacle that caused this issue and fix it. they must be held accountable and fix this before someone is injured or killed. please do not ignore this complaint and just another jeep owner complaining about the n23 recall. this is a serious safety issue!!!! *tr

My engine has shut down and the electrical system powered down while driving many times (more than 60 times in the last 3 years). this has happened at many speeds between 0 (standing still) and 60 mph. when the vehicle shuts down, steering becomes very difficult and brakes work to a minimum. i've taken my grand cherokee to the jeep agency many times, and they keep saying that nothing is wrong with it. only once they told me it was an oxygen censored, which they changed, but the problem persisted constantly. this is a very dangerous situation as the vehicle can become very difficult to control at which speeds i bought my jeep grand cherokee 2008 in mexico city. *tr

Vehicle would die unexpectedly and not restart until transmission was put in park position. several incidents ie stopped at light, acceleration to turnpike, slow street driving this would disable steering and create difficult braking. *tr

When driving my 2008 jeep with only 40,000 miles my car stalled out. the car completely turned off disabling breaking, steering and making my gears unable to move. the car continued to drive leaving me helpless in stopping this moving vehicle. i finally had to with a my strength punch the gear into park where my car then finally stopped moving. i was only going 20 mph but imagine what could of occurred if i was on a highway, this letter which have a much different tone. i tried calling jeep to explain what occurred not only because i felt their car failed and they should pay for my expenses on their failed part, but also to note it for a recall. i have researched and see that i am not the only one that has experienced this occurring with this jeep. this is very dangerous and there should be immediate recalls so no one gets hurts as this is a very serious problem and i am lucky my outcome did not end in a worse way! *tr

Had the n23 recall done on oct 7/14. the next day while driving low speed, the vehicle completely shut down, without notice or warning. radio stayed on. dash lights completely blank. power steering gone, power brakes gone. this happened twice in same day. in first incident, managed to slowly get vehicle over on shoulder, put in park and restart. second incident, shut down on busy city road at low speed while driving, stopped, put in park and restarted immediately. vehicle back at dealer today! wish i had never done the recall work! no problems at all before that. *tr

Purchased used vehicle from dealer. that evening while driving at speed (35 mph), my dash flashed, went dead and engine stalled, lost steering and brakes. the oil light lit and was only light on dash. pulled over to side of road, after shifting to park, it restarted and drove normally. next morning upon starting the check engine light came on. drove to work, parked, called dealer. upon entering vehicle again, used remote start, but when i inserted key, it died. cycled key again and started. returning to dealer, upon exiting freeway, it died again at roughly 30 mph. this time a loud clunk sound occurred and the same stalling issue, coupled with no brakes or steering occurred. after shifting to lark and cycling hey, it started immediately. dealer diagnosed it as a "autostart relay switch" overheating and burning out. replaced switch, check engine light disappeared, and vehicle drove normally all night. third day of ownership, while at a stoplight, a loud clunk sound, coupled with jerking motion occurred. i actually looked at rear window because i thought i was rear ended, until i realized my dash was dead except for same oil light. car was stalled. placed in park, car started immediately. so far i've had car 3 days and it's happened everyday. glad i just dropped close to 20k on a jeep that may kill me. *tr

* while driving 25 mph, the headlights would not illuminate the road properly. the headlights leveling was not working and the headlights shown about 25 feet infront of the car and would not raise up. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the head light leveling sensor showed a fault code that it had failed but it was not acting up when they checked it out. they said bring it back when it fails constantly. it is now failing constantly. have not taken it back to the dealer yet. *tr

Key will not release from ignition after driving or engaging the transmission. *tr

Vehicle has had a history of unresolved electrical issues beginning at the time of purchase. in 2009, the ignition switch began to fail and the key fob was replaced. due to a vin number issue with a replacement program, chrysler refused to replace the key assemblies though they were replacing identical assemblies on other vehicles that used the same modules. several "reprogramming" have been conducted to clear problems. specific issues include: 1. erratic behavior of electrical system that stems from the operation of the ignition switch. for example the engine will start but the vehicle will be impossible to shift out of park and the radio/navigation will not work until you jiggle the ignition switch and key fob. 2. chronic failure of the electronic throttle. you can be driving along at any speed and you will lose throttle control. this has caused several near miss accidents. the problem is acknowledged by a check engine light and lighting of an specific idiot light on the dash. however, the lack of throttle response is very dangerous and can be restored by only stopping the vehicle and shutting down the engine several times to reset the electronics. 3. chronic failure of the dealership to address proper correction of the electrical problems. vehicle was covered by a full warranty and an extended warranty but these problems were never repaired. due to sporadic and random nature of the systems faults, the dealership refuses to make repairs. 4. dealerships unable to clear check engine light and blame issues on the fact this unit has a diesel engine. local waterway car wash is refusing to wash these vehicles due to rapid and unattended acceleration issues which have caused accidents at their car washes. this problem can be documented by calling them by telephone. they consider the vehicles to be a safety risk. please help! *tr

Incident 1 (9/23/2014): driving at 25mph in a straight line when there was a loud "clunk" sound and the engine shut down with several dashboard warning lights lit. loss of power steering and power braking. was able to pull vehicle to a side street and come to a complete stop. upon placing the vehicle in park and turning the ignition to the off position, was able to restart the vehicle and resume trip. no dashboard warning lights remained lit, no other issues driving. incident 2 (9/30/2014): driving less than 5mph in a parking lot. vehicle stalled without loud clunk with several dashboard warning lights lit. loss of power and power braking. was able to put vehicle in neutral and cycle the engine off and on to restart. vehicle resumed normally with no dashboard warning lights lit. purchased vehicle used on 9/18/2014, so unsure if this has been a recurring problem. *tr

My vehicle kept stalling like it was running out of gas and i took it to the jeep dealer. they kept my car for a week and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.they told me it might be a fuel pump issue but they weren't positive so they asked me to pick up my car and keep a log. the second time it happened i took it back to the dealer and they kept my car for 5 weeks and couldn't replicate the issue. the customer service was awful. they basically told me they didn't know what was wrong and asked me to pick up my car. i picked my car up and the first day i drove it to work it left me stranded on the highway. the car started stalling out and i couldn't maintain my speed on the highway. i had the gas pushed all the way down and i was barely able to get up to 45 mph on a 65 mph highway. i had it towed to a different jeep dealer which said it was the transmission which i had to pay to have fixed but i think it was related to the fuel pump issue and the transmission blowing up was a result of that not being fixed. the car is starting to have a knocking sound when i drive it again and i'm not convinced i won't be stranded on the side of the road again. it's completely unacceptable that when i had a problem with my jeep i take it to the dealer and they don't know what's wrong and can't help me. if they don't know, who is supposed to know?? i feel that my children and i are unsafe in this car. it's unacceptable that a car just stalls out of nowhere on a highway and jeep/chrysler acted like they could care less. like it was my problem and not theirs. they inconvenienced me for over 5 weeks and i still don't have a reliable car that i feel safe to drive. completely unacceptable. is it going to take someone being seriously injured or killed for chrysler to do the right thing? *tr

Car would not start. neither fob would work. car was in wrangell alaska and had to be shipped to bellingham. car is now at dealers. was not a fob problem. ecm, electronic control module? after two days work with two mechanics, they still do not know the problem, just guessing. only dealer can work/program the car computer. cost of shipping car + hotels+restaurants+towing to and from ferry++++++ dealer cost. all because the car has to be fixed at the dealer and they apparently can't do it either. this is getting really expensive. what if i had been out in the boonies, away from phone service in the winter and this had happened? *tr..updated 09-25-14 *bf

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was able to restart, but the failure recurred on three occasions. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

The ignition on my jeep went out of it's normal operating position to acc position after the key was accidentally bumped. the car was in motion at the time. steering locked up and the accelerator was disabled. and just a few days ago the same thing happened. this time my car rolled at a slow speed into another car due to lack of brakes. luckily, no damage or injuries in that case either. i assume the recent recall for jeep grand cherokees up to 2007 for the same reason will be extended to the 2008 models. *tr

This jeep had the n23 recall done and i posted earlier about the ongoing problems not going into 4 lo and neutral...but the problem is worse than before the recall and is a safety issue now. this problem is worse on mine than i first thought. but if the intent by chrysler to solve a safety problem with going into neutral unintentionally, was the reason for the recall, they failed. i just did some tests on my 08 gc and found: ignition on, motor off in any gear but park and the transfer case is in neutral. in park it's locked. motor on, the transfer case won't go into for 4 lo or neutral and the service "4 wd" comes on immediately when trying to go into 4 lo or neutral. my scanner shows no codes, and the message on the evic disappears once the jeep is off and then restarted. in summary, if the jeep stalls and the key is still on, the transfer case is in neutral!!! this is more of a safety issue than before.

While driving onto a major roadway with my wife and kids in the vehicle the car just stalled out and i lost all control of the vehicle. luckily there was no other vehicles on the road. i turned the key to off and started the car right up again. i researched this online to find this is a widespread issue and i cannot believe the nhtsa has done nothing after the entire gm scandle with cars shutting off causing several fatalities.

Chrysler issued a recall (n23) for problems with jeep transfer cases shifting into neutral unexpectantly. i've seen no posts where this actually happened. against my better judgment, i had the recall done. immediately people started having issues with 4lo no longer working, and "service 4wd" messages showing on the dash. these are my symptoms also. people that flat tow the jeep behind a motor home could no longer switch the transfer case to neutral (ironic huh?). what does chrysler do? they don't even acknowledge their problem. a year after the fiasco started, the dealer that did my recall doesn't know about the issue? apparently chrysler dealers loaded defective software or installed the software improperly. the software cannot be unloaded and reverted to before the recall. chrysler's answer when i called 800 number yesterday, over a year since this recall fiasco started, was for me to pay the dealer to diagnose the symptom and if the diagnostic code is correct, they'll reload the software...after i've paid the service call! there are thousands of posts on line about the problems with the n23 recall, both on automotive sites and rv sites from owners that flat tow them. and chrysler has their head in the sand...or elsewhere. this is the biggest scam. per the posts, chrysler is charging people thousands to replace components when it's the recall that started the problem. the problem occurs immediately when trying to actuate 4 lo. it doesn't go into 4 lo and the service 4wd message occurs on the information center. i had to show the dealer the service bulletin number calling attention to the problem, from posts on the web. that tells me that chrysler is not even informing their own dealers about the problem created by the n23 recall. and the quadratrac ii transfer case with the 4lo capability is an option upgrade. the recall takes away this functionality!

While driving at posted x-press way speeds (70 mph) the car suddenly went dead. the power steering, radio, a/c etc. shut off. fortunately traffic was light and i pulled off to the shoulder of the road. after the vehicle come to a stop. i turned the key to the left (off position) than turned back to the right on position. the car started immediately and i continued on. the car will also stall immediately after starting it and i will have to sometimes start it to two to three times before it stays running. i had the problem looked at a few years ago. first they said it was a bad key. when that didn't fix the problem they said it was a bad computer board. that worked for a few months and than the intermittent starting again and has been that way ever since. i know older model jeeps are going to recalled but i think the recall should include 2008 model years also.

We are having difficulty with the ignition key, it sometimes releases easily and sometimes we have to start the car again and move it and that can happen up to as many as 5 or 6 or as little as 2 or 3 time. initially it was a little bit of a problem, but now it is becoming scary. taking it to the dealer again because we mentioned it the last time we were there and we were told that it would be ok until the check engine service light goes on. we just can't wait and continue driving the car like this. there seem to be other complaints with similar issue. we hope that all our concerns can be remedied. *tr

The vehicle shut down while driving. i lost power steering & brakes but the radio and ac stayed on. i had to put it in neutral to restart and then continued driving. this has happened many times since then, even after the dealership replaced my key fobs. *tr

The vehicle has two chronic problems, the most severe of which is that it suddenly shifts into neutral while being driven, resulting in a sudden & dangerous loss of acceleration and maneuverability . recovery action requires pulling off the road to shut off and re-start the engine. this problem has occurred at least twenty times, usually in damp or rainy weather conditions. two different jeep dealers have been unable to diagnose or fix the problem! one dealer thought replacing a module for about $900 would solve the issue but it did not. the other chronic problem is that the car sometimes will not start for no apparent reason! *tr

I bought a new 2008 jeep grand cherokee straight from the dealer. in january/february 2013 i started experiencing intermittent instances of the vehicle powering down & stopping without any warning. i would be driving at 35mph, and out of nowhere the electrical would cease, the truck would seize up, power down and would come to a halt. i took the truck to the dealer on 6/27/13, had diagnostics run. the dealer's recommendation was to have a new keyfob unit installed. there was an internal defect found in the wireless control module. module on backorder, so alternate repair option given which included the installation and programming of a new remote starter unit which came with a new wireless control module and two new keyfobs. previous to this i also had a new battery & shocks put in to remedy the problem. to date, still having same issue and now the "malfunction indicator light" intermittently appears lit on my dash. i see jeeps up to 2007 being included in the latest 7/21/14 recall for "faulty ignition switches that cause vehicles to stall" & i want to ensure that the 2008 jeep grand cherokee's get included in the investigation as a result of my filed complaint. *tr

Vehicle shuts off and all electrical and power steering inoperable. shut offs happen intermittently at speeds from 20 mph to 70 mph. it generally occurs upon hitting road bumps, rail road tracks or pot holes. these incidents have happened 4-6 times per year. i have taken the vehicle to chrysler's service engineering garage and suburban chrysler jeep and they are unable to replicate or fix the issue. there have been 2 additional shut off incidents in the past 3 days with 2 different drivers. vehicle will restart upon placing transmission in neutral and restarting. based upon chrysler recall campaign for similar issues with 2007 jeep grand cherokees, i believe my 2008 grand cherokee is subject to the same issues as earlier models. updated 4/24/2015 *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. the contact placed the key fob in the off position and was able to restart the vehicle after ten minutes. the failure occurred twice. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 98,000.

Ignition switch problems - i am now using my third ignition switch. the first one failed instantly, shortly after i purchased this used vehicle. i parked the car in the driveway and when i tried to restart it the switch would not read and accept my key fob. therefore it would not start the engine. car had to be towed to dealer for a replacement switch and programming. the second failed (approximately a year later) intermittently with increasing frequency. when i would turn the key fob to start the car and then release the key to let it return to the "on" position the engine would turn off. sometimes it would stop immediately, but there were other occasions that it would turn off after i started driving. the third switch is now still working but is operation is not as smooth as it was originally. this is the condition that preceded the failure of the second switch. i've been driving for almost fifty years and have never experienced failures as i just described. this is more than an expense and inconvenience. when your car shuts off while you are driving it...now that is dangerous and unacceptable.

Vehicle engine shuts off if key fab is disturbed while driving. three times this has happen in the past year. all power is lost when this occurs. i removed items from key ring in an attempt to temporarily stop this situation until a recall is announced to fix this issue permanently.

When attempting to turn vehicle off the key becomes trapped in the ignition and will not come out until the key turned to the on then to off position several times. at times the vehicle starts on its own even without the key in the ignition at all and there are times when the vehicle is running and in drive on the roadway that you hear the ignition area by the key clicking again and again. this causes the alarm system light to come on and flash then go off and no after driving the vehicle it seems to be happening more frequently and becoming harder to get the key out of the ignition. so far the vehicle has not stalled out while driving but i am afraid to drive it much since out of fear this may happen with me my wife and three children inside. *tr

I filed a complaint back in january 2014 regarding this issue. it went no where with nhtsa. chrysler/fiat sent out recall n23...their fix for vehicles that might roll when remote start was used.this recall reprogramming caused jeeps to loose 4x4, 4x4low etc. some get stuck in 4low, some in 2high. after almost $700 and months of aggravation, paying to replace my actuator (which was fine!), i still have the problem with no 4x4, 4x4 low or ability to shift transfer case into neutral. i had to have the dealer clear the error codes again! i am realtor in upstate ny and use my 4x4 regularly!! i don't want to get up on some mountain dirt road and find out i don't have my stability control, 4x4low or other! this is a grave safety issue for those that use 4x4 low especially. during this past winter i didn't even have regular 4x4 and my jeep fishtailed in the snow. please do something to force chrysler to fix this safety problem. thank you. *tr

Yet again the jeep dies out while driving and eventually does not start. had it repaired in june 2014. today 7/14/14 it will not start again. i looked up recalls and see that there was an exact match to our problems. several years ago we had the locked windshield wiper problems too. i called jeep the 1st time it happened and they said although our problem was identical to the recall, our serial number was not involved. they nee to expand the recall based on the problems or people will be harmed in accidents due to the faulty vehicle. the jeep just shuts off while driving and you lose your steering and can cause a crash. i narrowly avoided one several times. please look in to this. many online complaints identical to mine. *tr

My jeep stalls every month or every month. i have brought it to the dealership for over a year regarding this issue. jeep stalls while driving at low and high rate of speeds. this mostly happens to me at high rate of speed. my road is a 50 mph road and i have had to pull off to the side of the road and restart my jeep. this is very dangerous no matter what road i am on, but i do live on a major road which has lots of traffic. the dealership cannot seem to find what is the cause of this stalling and says no codes show in the computer. i put the latest stalling episode above. chrysler really needs to step-up and fix this issue. i am not the only one with this problem. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee. consumer writes in regards to final drive controller module recall. consumer states recall repair damaged vehicle. *smd the consumer stated the recall was performed in october 2013. however, he did not know at the time, it damaged the vehicle. it wasn't until january 2014, that the vehicle would not go into towable mode. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. an inspection revealed the vehicle needed a new transfer case motor, and chrysler would pay for the repairs, but the part would not be available for six months. the consumer filed a claim with chrysler, and five weeks later the part arrived, and was eventually installed. late april 2014, the vehicle would not shift into towable mode. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the vehicle was fixed again. the dealer guaranteed that it wouldn't happen again. but, it did happen again, and a warning appeared on the dashboard, that read service 4-wheel drive system and the transmission light illuminated. the consumer was informed, there was no permanent fix at the moment. *jb

Vehicle stops running with absolutely no warning. this can happen at any speed. lose engine, lights, brakes, steering, and air bags. i no longer feel i can safely operate this vehicle on a highway with multiple lanes. chrysler refuses to replace the part(s) at their cost. they have been aware of this condition in 2008 vehicles since 2008. *tr

I started the vehicle and then pulled out onto the highway. as my speed increase, the fob key clicked to the off position. before i knew what happened i had no power and had to pull to the side. luckily i was in the right hand lane. this has happened maybe 5-6 times so i brought it to the dealer. they could not find a problem not could they duplicate the problem. ironically i just needed to install a new starter motor but the problem still exists and it is happening more often. sometimes i start the car, do not even get a chance to put it into park because the fob key turns to the left into the off position. i am afraid this will eventually cause an accident. *tr

I have a 2008 jeep grand cherokee diesel limited two wheel drive. i bought the vehicle with 92,289 miles. at 93,290 miles the check engine light came on which according to the dodge dealership indicated that the eeg valve and battery was bad. so i replaced the gr valve in the battery. periodically since then the check engine light would come on and then go off. on a trip to ohio the engine light came on and the car died on the freeway during a rainstorm. it was towed to a local jeep dealership for diagnosis. the dealership told me that the airflow control valve was bad, but they needed to pull the battery out and disconnect the powertrain control module to get a true reading and make sure it was the airflow control valve. the powertrain control module is located underneath the battery. upon pulling the battery and box the mechanic noted that there was battery acid on the power control module and on the wiring harness that connects to the power control module. i was told that in order to get proper readings the power train control module would have to be replaced as well as the engine wiring harness for a total cost of $2091. and they also indicated that after this was done they would be able to check to see if there were any other problem. i believe all the problems may have been false readings because battery acid had eaten through the powertrain control module and damaged the wiring harness connector, causing false readings when hooked up to the diagnostic machine. i do not have $3000 a month to invest in this vehicle to continue to find additional problems. please help me!!! *tr

Had n23 recall done in september 2013 in november 2013 when i was going to tow cherokee behind motorhome would not go into neutral in transfer case. dealership replace actuator. january 2014 same problem, dealership replaced actuator again, they said the one previously replaced was bad. february 2014 same problem, dealership reflashed tcm. may 2014, same problem, reflashed tcm again. later may 2014, same problem, dealership opened ticket with star engineers, checked every wire harness, connection in transfer case and actuator. now june, same problem...my question chrysler customer care only helps communicating with the dealership and the dealership can not email the star engineers. why haven't they looked at the final drive control module, that is where the problem started with the recall??? since the new models are ok what changed from the 2008 to the 2011 and newer??? need help!! chrysler needs to fix the problem. many people have this problem since the cherokee is such a popular vehicle to tow. *tr

Driving on an onramp to the garden state parkway truck shut off and lost all power to motor.. had to cost to side of highway and try to restart vehicle.. this put me in danger of not only causing a major highway crash leading to injury and death but also had to figure out what is still wrong with this truck.. the only way to start this vehicle is to come to a complete stop.. put it into park... remove the key fob ... re insert key fob and truck starts right back up... since 2008 i have filled reports of this exact problem happening.. and no fix has come from jeep or a recall forcing action of these jeep grand cherokees.. in researching this problem i have found this has been a common problem in the jeep grand cherokee line going back to 2007 and still you or chrysler corporation has not taken action. please my life as well as others driving on the road could be saved be a recall to address this very serious issue ... i ask you will it take me death or the death of others to get a response from some one.

Owner of 2008 jeep grand cherokee on a regular basis hear a click and the power shuts off. you find yourself with no power steering, no power brakes, and no lights. this also occurs sometimes when you go over a bump or if your knee touches the key ring. the ignition key and mechanisms was replaced in 2010, and this above problem has been occurring off and on since then. in the past two years the occurrence has increased. the technicians can find nothing wrong in the car. chrysler will not admit that the ignition fob and housing is defective, or that their is any problem. this problem is potentially life threatening if it occurs when there is no place to pull over and if hit, air bags will not deploy when the engine is off. *tr

Has been happening off and on since purchasing car used about 2 years ago. driving down the road, usually bumpy road, car turns off- dead. have had it fixed twice before. found to be key and ignition switch (april 2013) now doing it again. dealership reported to me similar problem with a dodge caravan. report they cannot figure out what is wrong with it since it is intermittent problem. will do this at various speeds. very random. *tr

On june 10 2013 we purchased a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. 6 days after the 30 day warranty expired, was the beginning of a series of incidents that have continued until now 6/3/2014. about a week after purchasing vehicle the motor died in traffic. my wife drove to the dealer and told them what happened. they drove the vehicle but nothing happened and told her it was probably nothing and not to worry. but over time the problem has worsened to the point that it is not safe to drive. the ignition is on, everything is working, then the ignition kicks off, motor dies, and steering is lost and we have to roll to the curb and restart the engine. drive a few blocks or maybe a mile or two then the ignition kicks off again. this has happened once on a freeway here in california, luckily close to an exit where we were able to roll off. now the dealer wants to charge a very large sum to analyze and repair the problem and we feel they knew about this at the time of sale. i see on the net others have the same problem we have with their jeeps cutting off. the dealer informed the consumer the ignition module needed to be replaced. updated 09/03/14

The vehicle has been in the shop 6 times in 6 years. this latest time chrysler refused to honor the warranty. the dealer, who is out of business due because of chrysler shutting them down, was to notify us of an inspection when it came due. all the other dealer i spoke to confirmed this, however we were never notified. the repairs were $1065 and should have been under warranty per the dealer which did the repairs. chrysler has retroactively charged our warranty as well from lifetime to 3 years, even thought warranty work was done in the same year. we have a book that says lifetime and should be covered after inspection. the dealer which did the repairs had no issues with the vehicle of approving the inspection, chrysler refuse to discuss with the dealer or discuss any further. you have a service light for all services on the vehicle so you don't forget, but you have a 30 day inspection window without any warning or notification. *tr

While driving on the road normally no noises, vehicle went to a complete stop. i wouldn't start. we try starting it, dead starter and battery. bought a new starter and new battery engine does not turn at all. engine completely stiff. went to the shop, we try to turn the engine by hand; completely stiff. the dealer in port au prince, haiti (safari motors) has many jeep cherokee with the same issue they don't even know what to do and clients are frustrated, very disappointed with the dealer and also mopar of america. they will not help anyone with a known issue this vehicle has all around the world. *tr

I was purchasing a used jeep cherokee 4x4, and had completed a full and detailed inspection of the unit on apr 28th, 2014. i had tested the 4 low and it worked fine. the unit was to go into chrysler on the apr 29th for the n23 recall prior to my picking up the unit the following day. the n23 recall was completed and apr 30th i picked up the jeep. the next day again tested the 4 low and now the service 4wd light came on. the jeep had not been used at all since the recall other than a very short drive home. *tr

No 4x4 low ever since i had the n23 recall work performed to reprogram the final drive controller. called chrysler about it and the scheduled an appointment for me at a dealer. dealer said the transfer case actuator motor is fried and needs to be replaced. they also said that the part is back ordered 6-8 weeks because so many people have had this problem after having the n23 recall work performed. chrysler says that the issue is not related to the recall work and they will not cover the repair. i did some of my own research and there are 1000's of other people who ar having the same issue. i've given chrysler many opportunities to address this issue but they refuse to do so. *tr

Approximately 10 times, while driving my vehicle at various speeds (10, 30 and 70 mph) my vehicle has stalled. one time, while driving 70 miles, with my children in the car, my vehicle stalled while in the outside lane. i had to get across five lanes of traffic, with no power, including no power steering and i barely made it over. my vehicle has also stalled while pulling out of my development, which is on a road that is posted 45 mph and on a bend. so when i have stalled in the middle of the intersection, i have cars who round the bend at 45 mph and i, and my children, our sitting ducks unable to move. it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. i brought it the dealership, they kept it for several days and several hundred dollars for them to tell me they do not know what is wrong. two things to note: it always stalls after hitting a bump, and i carry approximately 30 keys and rings on the chain that holds my ignition key. i do not think that this is a coincidence and i take this very seriously. my children, other innocent people, or myself are going to be seriously hurt or killed and i want this investigated aggressively. *tr

I took my vehicle in for the n23 safety recall and my 4 wheel drive system no longer works. the work jeep did to fix the recall has removed critical functionality of the vehicle. *tr

While traveling at 55 miles per hour on southern blvd. in west palm beach the key turned from the on to the off position. this caused a lockup of the steering and brakes. the automobile returned to full function when the key was turned back to the vertical position. there were no keys or weight hanging from the key and it just clicked off. this condition was recently repaired at arrigo dodge on okeechobee blvd. the key now sticks in the ignition. the radio failed soon after and it was noted that fuse 27 & 28 were covered in lithium grease from the prior repair which stopped the fuse from making contact with the plug. cleaning restored the radio function, but key is still stuck in the ignition. later, the computer stated "key damaged". *js updated 04/13/15. *jb

I have previously entered a similar complaint for this same vehicle. the issue is that the vehicle stalls/shuts off for no reason while driving. chrysler is unable to provide a reliable fix. this began in may 2012 - my vehicle simply shut off while driving in any number of conditions whether it be on the highway, side roads, etc. i removed all excess keys from my key ring to ensure that it was not the key being too heavy. brought this in to my dealership, they replaced the win control module but couldn't guarantee that this would fix the problem. vehicle stalled once while driving unexpectedly about 9 months later. then vehicle stopped twice in october 2013. at that time i brought the vehicle to another dealership. they at first wanted to replace the win module. when i told them that was the fix from before and it didn't work, they advised that the front control module be replaced, as there was a recall on this but my vehicle was one day past the date of manufacturing impact in the recall, but was having the same exact issue. replaced front control module in october 2013. vehicle stopped unexpectedly while driving again twice in march 2014 - on march 20th and march 21st. vehicle is back at the dealer where they again want to replace the win module. again, this fix was provided previously and did not fix the car. either the wins being produced by chyrsler are all faulty and i somehow have gotten 2 in a row or there is an underlying issue that cannot be found or addressed. this issue is very prevalent with 2008 grand cherokees. chrysler is sitting on a very dangerous issue. *tr

Lost 4x4 drive low range. problem is directly related to the "safety recall n23 / nhtsa 13v-175 reprogram final drive controller module" that a jeep service center had preformed. i am from north canada where we have snow from early november to may end it's not safe to travel without functional 4 wheel drive.do we have to wait till someone freezes to death or dies from dehyadration in desert until chrysler do something. *tr

Jeep has a known problem with the transfer case actuator motor. last fall, 9-19-13 i brought it in for a recall, number n23. prior to the recall i had no problems with my jeep and i had towed it up to alaska and back, over 7,000 mi. this winter we decided to spend it in arizona. about 2 months into it is when we get a service message to have our 4wd system looked at and that it wouldn't shift into neutral for towing purposes. so i get on the internet forums and find out that there are thousands of other jeep owners experiencing the same thing and not shifting into 4 low also. they too had not had any troubles until they had taken their vehicles in for the recall fix which, was a reflash of the transmission software. the transfer case actuator are on backorder from jeep at one per dealer every 14 days. and i get to shell out $500.00 for a problem that didn't exist until the recall. oh, i had towed the jeep several times since the alaska trip in 2011. the bigger problem here is that there are a lot of jeep owners who don't ever take their jeep's off road or tow it behind something so they don't get the trouble message until they do and they need it. that means there are millions of jeep owners that don't know they have a problem. *tr

Vehicle engine suddenly stopped on hwy at 70 mph (this is the 3rd time it has happened in the last 9 months). i was able to get the vehicle off the hwy. it started up after coming to a stop. i took the vehicle into the dealership and they informed me that they were aware of this problem (had worked on previous grand cherokees and even had the chrysler engineers out to try and help them). they did inspections on my vehicle for 5 days and said they could not duplicate the problem or find anything out from the vehicle computer. they told me to contact chrysler. i was eventually given to a case manager. they initially said they could not do anything and now they keep delaying getting back to me. this has been 2 weeks with no solution in sight. this is a major safety problem and the vehicle should not be driven without some fixes. i also have a 7 yr/100,000 mile platinum wraparound warranty that should cover whatever is wrong. *tr

The first incident was the key getting stuck in the ignition and the dealer replaced an ignition component. after that was replaced on three occasions the engine turned off for now apparent reason. jeep could not determine why and at that point i purchased a new car. i am reporting this now after hearing about the recall for other vehicles which turned off for no reason and had caused injury or death. fortunately i was never in heavy traffic and was able to restart the vehicle. i was advised by jeep to remove any extra keys from the ring but that did not resolve the engine turning off. perhaps there are other jeep owners who have experienced this problem but it was not part of the potential recall. *tr

While off road very far into the desert of arizona i was traveling with my permanently disabled wife. we were on desert trails and the trail lead into a soft silt type dry wash. when i tried to put this jeep into 4x4 low range a message popped up in the interment cluster that said "service 4 wheel drive". the jeep would not shift to 4x4 low range and lock the differential and drive through the dry wash to safety. this problem is directly related to the "safety recall n23 / nhtsa 13v-175 reprogram final drive controller module" that a jeep service center had performed. the final drive controller module (fdcm) (n23 / nhtsa 13v-175) re-programming that i had performed at a jeep service center caused this potentially fatal problem that could have left my wife dead. if we hadn't had water to drink or if it would have started to rain we(she) could have drowned in the wash while being trapped in the jeep, because i could not place the jeep in 4x4 low range and lock the differential to drive the jeep out of a potentially fatal situation. *tr

I am not able to shift the transfer case into 4 wheel drive low range or neutral after the safety recall reprogrammed the computer. *tr

Went into dealership service center to have "n23" safety recall performed. before n23 software update there was no problem using the 4wd-low function, afterwards the 4wd-low shift function comes up with "service 4wd" code and will not shift into 4wd-low. i discovered this while stuck in a snow drift this weekend. after researching the issue i discovered that many jeep owners that went in for the n23 recall are having the same issue. *tr

I believe this issue/complaint is a result of safety recall n23/nhtsa 13v-175. ten days ago we were preparing to hook up my jeep for towing behind our rv. when i attempted to put the transfer case into neutral it would not move and i would get a 'service 4w system' error message. we took the jeep to the dealer and was advised the transfer case module was bad. the worst news was there were none to be found within hundreds of miles and i had no powertrain warranty. ten days later and i am still waiting for a replacement part. this is the part that was 'reprogrammed' as part of the safety recall n23/nhtsa 13v-175. ever since this reprogramming was performed i have no 4x4, no 4low or neutral. this is expensive to repair and we were forced to cancel our trip. now, as a realtor in upstate ny i am not able to do my job as i cannot take buyers to properties on snow covered roads. my jeep worked perfectly fine until this module was reprogrammed. additionally, now i hear a thumping noise from the rear (it sounds like the rear,) when i first start out every morning. i see other jeep owners are experiencing the same problem, and feel confident that this part is being replaced all over the us as a result of faulty reprogramming...and that is why they cannot get a new one. i do not want to wait till this problem causes other electrical issues, which it very well could. i believe chrysler is ultimately responsible for this repair as my transfer case worked fine till they reprogrammed it. *tr

We are full time rvers and have towed our jeep about 40,000 miles without any issues, until the recent recall. nhtsa #13v75000, chrysler n23. the very innocuous recall notice spoke of the dot requiring the recall based on a number of cases where the transfer case shifted into neutral on it's own and the vehicle rolled away, causing damage. the recall went on to say that the fix was to take it to the dealer for a software reprogramming to take care of the issue. the recall notice was very carefully and cleverly written to leave one with the impression that a software issue was the cause of the problem, and jeep was going to fix it with the reflash of the transmission computer. this is not true. the issue is caused by the failure of hardware in the transfer case, and the ?fix? offered by jeep is nothing more than a band aid to meet the strict letter of the demand by the nhtsa. as thousands of jeep owners are now learning, after the recall they find themselves in a situation where the transfer case will no longer shift into neutral, or 4wd low, at all. i have personal knowledge of dozens of jeep owners with these issues who never had a problem before the recall. this problem creates a great uncertainty among owners. we don't know if the 4wd system will work when needed, or end up stuck in neutral or 4wd low, making the vehicle unusable. while not being able to tow may not be a safety issue, i think that disabling a 4wd system that many people rely on in bad terrain or weather would be. i don't think that nhtsa has monitored this situation properly and has allowed chrysler to commit what amounts to a fraud upon their customers. i think nhtsa needs to take another look at this issue. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. the contact stated that the driver's seat caught on fire while parked. the fire department was called to extinguish the fire. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer had not been made aware of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 121,000.

Jeep stalled in traffic. had to quickly shift to neutral and attempt to restart. has been in the shop probably 7 times for this issue and still hasn't been fixed. *tr

I started to get service 4 wd system light this started after i had taken vehicle in for recall about transfer case neutral problem. i had never had a problem before this had it looked at by certified mechanic. he checked all systems and they checked out ok he cleared error code. a day or so later it returned. he said i should return to dealer. they said it was a bad transfer case range sensor. a deeper look and i found that many people have had this same trouble after having flash update for recall. this part has a large back order ( i was told by dealer part over 500 piece ) and they could only order one every 14 days. *tr

While driving the jeep it dies, we could be driving on the highway at 55/60 miles per hour and the jeep will die, we could be driving locally at 20 miles per hour and the jeep just dies -- we have contacted chrysler many times regarding the problem but nothing is done -- they keep asking us to pay for a diagnostic test but nothing shows up -- when the jeep dies there is no indication that anything is wrong -- no check engine light comes on, just the rpm drops -- we are worried for the safety of our family that while driving on an highway and all of a sudden the jeep dies that someone hits us from behind and causes a major accident or worse -- we have told chrysler we would pay for any work that is not covered under the extended warranty as long as they can fix the problem -- after that statement they have not responded to any further correspondence. *tr

I am writing to describe 5 incidents within the past year when my vehicle completely shut off while driving. this happened first in may 2012, with a follow up instance in june 2012. after bringing this into the dealership, was told that this was the wireless control module malfunctioning and they replaced. 6 months later, vehicle shut off again while driving without cause. vehicle shut off again october 2013 while driving at a speed of roughly 20 mph, followed by another shut down at 70 mph in late october 2013. i brought this vehicle into another dealership, who told me that they believed this was an issue with the front control module (after i told them the fix to the wireless control module did not work). dealership also advised that a recall on the front control module for issues exactly as i described was in place for 2008 grand cherokees, but not my vehicle in particular. upon further investigation with chrysler, vehicles manufactured dec 4 2007 - dec 11 2007 were impacted by this recall. my vehicle was manufactured dec 3rd. chrysler refused to cover this under the recall but agreed to pick up the majority of the repair cost. my concern is that this issue is extremely dangerous - i could have gotten into an accident any of the five times that my car shut off without warning. it is very clear that my car should have been covered by this recall but was not. i am very concerned for other drivers of a 2008 grand cherokee that fit a similar description of mine - close to manufacturer date of recall but not quite there but having the same problem. *tr

Tires have been getting un even wear. took vehicle to certified shop, they inform me my suspension is gone. i took my vehicle to dealership, where i was told it cant be bad. i have only done highway driving with this vehicle, i don't see how it went out so soon. i read online and a lot of other people have the same complaint. *tr

The jeep stalls on the freeway. while driving the jeep on the interstate, it stalled and restarted suddenly. this was felt by a sudden loss of forward momentum. the jeep at times stalls flat at freeway speeds and needs to be stopped to restart. this has been in for repairs since january 2013 and it still stalls. *tr

Jeep stalls when traveling. mostly has occurred when you are slowing down for a stop light but did stall once at speed on the west side highway in new york city. this has happened at least 10 times and has been to the dealership 3 times with no fix in sight. the dealership can not find what the problem is. i have called jeep and they have not been any help. this problem is affecting a lot of jeep grand cherokee as it is well written on the internet forums. a quick google search on jeep stall or hemi stall reveals many people with the same exact issue. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep grand cherokee 4x4. the contact was driving 35 mph when the vehicle lost power and stalled. the vehicle was restarted and began to perform normally, however the failure recurred. the vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for inspection. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the incident. the approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

After having my vehicle serviced for the n23 recall, the service 4wheel drive indicator has been coming on and i no longer have 4 low. it is at the service center again for the third time. i am concerned that the recall is either not performed properly or isn't an adequate fix to the transmission issues and is creating i unintended problems. *tr

My vehicle has been maintained by the dealership. i have 56k miles on a 2008 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi 8cylinder i do not do any off roading i am told today that i need an upper differential housing insulator and pinion seals which are leaking. these products should last longer than 56k in miles and are a considerable cost to the consumer for a 5 year old jeep. there are several bulletins out about this issue but jeep did not consider helping me because i was out of my 3 year 36,000 mile warranty which is clearly not enough for defective parts. please see other complaints for a recall issue. thank you *tr

Stopped at roadside stand. tried to restart, no dashboard lights, no ignition all windows down inoperable, towed to jeep dealer. it is a faulty wireless ignition code. the receiver in the system that checks for the correct key fob.this has the potential to put the occupants in a dangerous situation. it seems this is a nationwide problem, because the part may be in re-engineering and won't be available for 1- 2 months! one aftermarket supplier told me there are 300 of these parts on back order. sound like a recall to me. *js

Vehicle shifted into 4wd low by itself while driving in a parking lot. i parked the jeep in a parking space, and after placing the transmission selector in park, the jeep started rolling. i had to use the parking brake to keep it from rolling out of the space. the repair shop replaced the transfer case actuator and harness due to the transfer case shifting in and out of 4wd, and having no park, which caused it to roll. i paid to have this repair work done, just prior to jeep issuing recall n23. jeep has refused to reimburse me for this repair. on three occasions, i have explained to the reimbursement dept, that my vehicle rolled out of it's parking space and shifted in and out of 4wd and neutral on its own. chrysler customer assistance refuses to reimburse per the stated language in their own recall. i have sent chrysler all the required repair documents and receipts.

Driving at the posted speed limit on a 4 lane divided highway, the 2008 jeep grand cherokee my wife was operating, violently and without warning swerved off the road. my wife described the event as "all the wheels suddenly stopped spinning". the suv first went off the right shoulder of the road, then skidded across two lanes of traffic and swerved off the left shoulder, nearly rolling over and coming to rest in the median near an embankment. the vehicle was towed to a nearby jeep dealership where it was subsequently evaluated. the service manager noted that the problem was related to the rear differential. he surmised that the component was assembled "out of spec" and subsequently failed catastrophically. the differential was rebuilt and the vehicle returned. under the circumstances, my wife will not drive this suv again. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee laredo encountering several problems: the vehicle either won't start or starts then stalls. experienced other problems with complete loss of power while driving on the highway at 60mph. also had loss of blinkers, radio and wipers. the problems have been occurring intermittently since nov, 2009 but becoming more common over last 3 months. current mileage 43k. no codes found on computer for any of the problems. no dash lights when car stalls. it is very scary and certainly a safety issue that needs to be addressed. the earlier recall (h03/ 08v059) is the exact problems but our vehicle is not included in the recall. *tr

The tire pressure sensor started to leak air around the valve stem. when it was removed it was found that the cheap aluminum stem had corroded and the stem in the process of breaking off completely..if it had broken off driving on the highway, the tire would have deflated immediately and i would be in big trouble. people automatically think that aluminum is a great metal, but it has to be anodized or alloyed to get corrosion resistance. we already had the jeep hood replaced because of corrosion. there are "marine grade" alloys available, but whether they can be crafted into valve stems,i dunno. i see by the internet, a great industry evolved in providing replacement sensors. what may have been a great idea to develop these devices, i don't see a great idea to having to replace them, what, every 2 or 3 years, at 3 or 4 hundred a pop to preclude blowing out the tire. if they are only good for a couple years, what good are they. i am going to put the old rubber stems in mine !!!! if the gov't ls putting out these silly ass regulations for sensors they should have stipulated them to last at least 10 years, or have required that they be replaced by the mfr on specific schedule. *tr

After starting the vehicle it was observed that some of the electrical system, including radio and turn signals were not functioning. electrical eventually came back. this occurred several other times, generally after turning the vehicle off and then re-starting all of the electrical systems came back on. approximately 1-2 weeks after the initial electrical issue the following occurred: while driving in a parking lot at approximately 20 miles per hour the engine suddenly cut out after a "clunk" type of sound. after trying several times to restart, the vehicle did start again and drove normally. vehicle was taken to dealership where code p0688 asd was found. the dealership recommended replacing the asd relay switch. the dealership advised that this relay switch could be the cause of the vehicle dying while driving as well. relay was not replaced as the dealership informed me the part of on national back order. the electrical cut out occurred again on 6/21/2013 but cleared up immediately upon a vehicle restart. on 6/23/2013 while driving on a highway at approximately 60 mph the engine cut out again. the electrical was also out, leaving me with a dead vehicle and no electronics to signal. after several attempts the vehicle was restarted. i believe that possibly the electronic fuel pump was cut out due to the electrical issue. dealership informed me that this part is on national back order, which leads me to question whether there is a larger, unreported issue with this part. if there is not a demand for it, why is it on back order, and if there is a demand, perhaps there is an ongoing issue that chrysler/jeep is not reporting. chrysler is claiming that this switch is not covered under warranty. *tr

Wife traveling with son on fwy at legal speed of 70 mph w/cruise control on, car suddenly decelerated causing a violent maneuver forcing car into neighboring lane and almost crashing. she stated it was as if it suddenly downshifted into lowest gear and brakes applied forcefully. regaining control she deactivated the cruise control and proceeded to destination at 50 mph. took to dealership in davis where it was diagnosed as catastrophic failure of the transfer case which was then replaced at the cost of $2842.75. she retrieved car two days later and proceeded to drive back home (distance is @ 178 mi one way). car repeated sudden deceleration upon entering the fwy and getting up to speed. continued home due to medical appointments to keep. kept cruise control off but called dealership to report that replacing the transfer case did not solve the problem. i pulled codes upon her arriving home and found only code 0430 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold [bank 2] indicating the converter not working to specs. today she was returning to davis to visit with grandchildren and experienced the same situation. at 70 mph car suddenly decelerated rapidly (as if brakes were applied forcefully) and caused her to abruptly move into the lane to her left. she regained control and continued on at 50 mph. the dealership informed her no mechanics would be available until monday but as she has a flight out of lax to catch early monday a.m. she decided to continue on to l.a. without using the cruise control and proceeding at slower speed. the power steering pump was replaced on 4/15/2013 at dealerships recommendation due to a leak and the transmission was serviced in addition to having new valve cover and gasket put on. spark plugs replaced, throttle body and combustion chambers cleaned and pcv valve replaced. internet research indicates this is a repeated problem with the jeep grand cherokee

The moving vehicle inadvertently stalls. the stall has mostly occurred on the highway at speeds of 70-75 mph, as well as on-ramps and off-ramps. the frequency of occurrence is approximately (3-4) times per month. when the vehicle stalls i have to quickly put the vehicle in neutral and restart the engine. fortunately the engine restarts immediately and i am able to resume driving. the problem was reported to a local (ri) dealership, who was unable to diagnose a problem/defect. i am apprehensive about driving this vehicle, and i am a police officer with extensive training. i will not allow my wife to operate this vehicle. *tr

The sun roof on mt jeep has leaked for over 2 years. leaks into the car thru the side arms located by the window and the main top thru the lights onto the radio/console. no one wants to help. when it pours, it leaks heavy. if it rains throughout the day, it doesn't leak as heavy. snow, does the same thing.. *tr

I have had an on going electrical problem with my 08 jeep grand cherokee. when i am driving my jeep at various speeds it goes off. it has happened numerous times at different speeds. on the interstate at 55 miles per hour it has gone dead at night and my headlights, dash and steering all goes out. i have had to shift into neutral and restart the car. it has gone off more frequently just driving around town, no warning happens it just dies. i have had my car in the shop several times and their tests show nothing wrong and when they drive it "they say it does not die on them". it is in the shop now again and has not gone off on them. they put a recorder on my car and let me drive it and said if it died to push the recorder button and it would record the incident and they would know what was wrong. it went off 6 times in two days and i pushed the button 6 times. they said they checked the recorder and it showed no incidents!!!! i know this is a safety concern, i guess no one will do anything until there is a fatality. i understand my vin# is not included in the recall for the 2008 jeep electrical problem. i am not sure why. *tr

While driving my vehicle the gauges started to go up and down, the radio went on and off, the turn signals were interrupted, all the idiot lights came on and went out leaving the engine light on. i called my garage and found out the front control modular is going. there was a recall on 2008's but my vehicle was not included due to manufacture date. my vehicle is only 4 years old and was used previously by diamond chrysler. i have not received any recalls. according to them my vehicle is clean. now i will have to pay close to $1,000.00 to get it fixed. if a recall goes out it should go out to all vehicles in case one such as my vehicle gets missed. *tr

8/8/12 driving from temple tx to tunica ms (stopping there before continuing on to indianapolis, in). car gave no issues/indications of trouble. 8/9/12 car would barely go 10 miles per hour leaving the hotel, would stop forward progress of any kind if i stopped, had to put in park, turn off car and turn on again. had to cross 4 lane highway, but could not get car to move forward fast enough to clear all 4 lanes and middle divider. took it in 2 green light tries and pulled into gas station (1/2 mile from hotel), gave car a rest, filled gas and same problem when started again. had to call tow truck and bring to local jeep dealer, 7 hours waiting at dealer to be told we had an early major transmission failure and it would be 8/13 before it would be ready. rented a car to continue our vacation. $3,934.73, transmission repaired, failure occurred at 41,138 miles, chrysler admits it is an early failure (and states we are out of all warranties), ms dealer states early failure and powertrain should be covered, contact chrysler when we get home and local dealer here states 5/50000 on powertrain. chrysler refuses to reimburse more than $1500 which we have not accepted and refuses to acknowledge 5 year/50,000 mile power train warranty. had this failed while driving at highway speeds it could have caused an accident for ourselves and others. chrysler has not called to this day the repair dealership to understand why the transmission failure occurred. we were told the oil had burnt by the dealership? there was plenty of transmission fluid, it was just burnt. we are writing to you to bring this potential safety issue with early transmission failure to your attention and to ask what exactly is the nhtsa/dot regulations regarding power train coverage/failures and what recourse we may have. thank you for any information you can provide. *tr

2008 jeep srt8 purchased in december 2009 with brand new tires. less than 30k miles and found front tires separating on inner edges with plenty of tread left and alignment within specs. i found this yesterday when i decided to do some maintenance repairs as i am a jeep technician and i work at a chrysler dealership. the front tires are completely separated with threads exposed. this is extremely dangerous as i drive this vehicle with family at highway speeds. i have pictures if necessary and can provide alignment specs. i am a member of the jeep srt8 forum and this is a common issue with many members. *tr

My 2008 jeep/gr.cherokee has goodyear-fortera tires on it. i have noticed that the tread around the sidewall has 2 different directions. one turns slightly forward and the other slightly to the rear. i have tried to contact goodyear who hands me back off to jeep for an explanation.upon my most recent tire rotation,i pointed this out to the head mechanic. he replied it does not matter,it does not serve any purpose. i disagree. i don't think they put them on there for no reason..i have taken the truck to a goodyear tire dealer and he said the tread pattern is supposed to push water away from the vehicle. i walked the man around the vehicle and showed him that both ties on the right side of the vehicle face forward while the 2 tires on the left face the rear.shouldn't they all face the same direction? i have seen these tires on the honda/pilot,g.m.c./traverse,ford/explorer and ford/edge. i have asked other drivers about it,but no one has noticed until i spoke on it. i find it hard to believe that nobody else seems to see a potential problem here. please help me-i have taken pictures of this situation and would be glad to send them to you.i can't possibly be only one who notices this. *tr

Enough issues that a class action suit in new jersey for this exact matter is in process. faulty sunroof rear drain tubes become pinched, looped, or otherwise unable to drain away water. when water comes forward (as in braking on the freeway and narrowly averting an accident) water comes down and through the a pillars and overhead console, and other areas of headliner. a bit startling when traveling in rush hour traffic on the freeway. after reading about the countless stories of other owners experiencing the same thing, i began contacting dealerships including the out of area dealership where the vehicle was bought used in december 2011. it became apparent that there would be no relief and i would bear most if not all of the cost of the repair of this design flaw that can create very unsafe driving conditions and cause accidents. *tr

I purchased a brand new jeep grand cherokee limited in 2008. almost from the very beginning i've had problems with this vehicle & had been going back & forth to the dealership for one repair after the other. although the previous issues were serious, they did not rise to the level of being a health/safety hazard as my current problem does. in 2011, i started experiencing intermittent electrical failure; specifically, the vehicle would just stop no matter whether i was driving 70 on the hwy or 30 in a neighborhood. the vehicle would turn off without warning & i would be left trying (w/out any power steering) to coast to the side of the road with whatever momentum was left. once to the side of the road, i put the vehicle in park, turned the ignition to the off position & wait a few seconds. i would then start the vehicle right up as if nothing had happened. i have taken the jeep in to the dealer where the problem could not be duplicated. i've gotten to the point where each time it stops, i call the dealer service dept just so the record would show that i called, reported the problem had occurred again & also to vent my frustration of this recurring problem. my concerns: 1) the stalling is happening more frequently 2) the problem can't be duplicated on cue 3) i can't get more than a condescending, what do you want tone from mgmt at the dealership & 4) there does not seem to be any sense of urgency from anyone other than myself . my questions: does there really have to be some type of accident or fatality before someone actually tries to find out why this is happening & fix it? why aren't the service people equipped to do more than just speak to the vehicle owner as if we are stupid & like i'm just making up stories. although they haven't been able to duplicate the problem, is there truly someone trying to find out what the problem is? who do i need to contact? *js

When going over speed bumps my vehicle stalls. this is the third time this has happened in the last 2 months. i've brought it to the dealership multiple times. each time i've been told there is no problem, or that i need spark plugs replaced, or the throttle body needs to be cleaned....nothing has helped! *tr

I started the jeep and traveled normally for about a third of a mile on local streets. the problem started when i turned onto a collector street from a local street applying full throttle. when i lifted my foot off the throttle pedal the jeep kept accelerating. the electronic throttle control warning light went on. i stopped the car by applying the brake and putting the transmission in neutral. the engine continued to rev at about 4000 rpm with the jeep stopped. i turned off the jeep and checked the position of the carpet protector to make sure it was not interfering with the accelerator. it was not in a position where it could overlap the throttle. i also checked the accelerator pedal and found it operating normally in terms of position and action. i turned the engine back on and the jeep reacted normally for the remainder of the trip. dealer not able to replicated but reported error message that both brakes and accelerator were both depressed. also reported that carpet was not involved. *tr *js

Tire pressure monitoring system - valve stems corroded badly - appear to be made of poor quality aluminum - eventually broke off when attempting to add air pressure. could have easily broken off when driving just due to vibration and caused a sudden loss of air pressure resulting in loss of control of vehicle. have replace three units so far at a cost of over $300. have kept old parts and invoices and pictures of badly corroded units. please recall before someone gets hurt. jeep has replaced units with brass units now!!! they should pay for their mistakes. parts made by schrader electronics. *tr

While driving all my gauges stopped working such as the wipers, speedometer, oil light, all of my gauges stopped working that are controlled by the computer. couldn't tell what gear i was in while driving. my radio and clock wouldn't work. my blinkers wouldn't work. i had to take it to get it fixed this morning. i surprised this wasn't on a recall. *tr

Engine stops running while the vehicle is being driven. typically the failure occurs when the throttle is closed during deceleration i.e. (when decelerating to exit the freeway or decelerating to stop in traffic). the problem was first encountered at 14k miles and persists to date. the vehicle currently has accrued 46k miles. the vehicle has been to the dealer on 5 occasions for diagnosis/repair of the problem. the dealer cannot duplicate the problem and no fault codes are stored in the on board diagnostic system memory. chrysler customer service was contacted for assistance to no avail. the chrysler customer service representative merely contacted the servicing dealer and was told no driveability issues exist with the vehicle. i note the vehicle stopped running in traffic after leaving the dealer service department 4/22/2011 (chrysler customer service was advised). this condition is unsafe as steering and braking systems are significantly degraded without power assist.

I have a 2008 jeep grand cherokee that just will not start. not a battery problem. started with windshield wiper problems where the wipers just stayed erect and only worked on high. this happened two times 10/1/2010 and 12/26/2010. always started working again before i could see dealer. always happened when either rain or snow was present causing a danger of collision. on monday 2/28/2011 it just would not start. interior light lit, could not shift into neutral or any other gear. could not get any help or even a call back from dealer, and two corporate managers never returned my call as they promised. when i finally spoke to corperate, both corporate managers were rude and condescending, dealers all going out of business locally in nj but no will confirm that. lots are empty. i found service in another county. he fixed it. he claims it was a wire control module and my key fobs also needed to be reprogrammed. these are identical problems to other complaints filed. similar complaints all over the internet. i know three other people how had a similar experience. one has a 2008 jeep liberty. *tr

I recently purchased a newer model used vehicle that has started to present some serious concerns that the dealership where i purchased it cannot figure out the problem and discounts my complaint. my vehicle's motor acts as if is going to stall on take off from a stop position. i have attempted on 3 separate occasions to have the problem serviced by the dealership's service department; however, the dealership tells me they have no concerns with the vehicle. although the problem is not presenting itself when i bring it to the dealership, it is happening more often now than in the beginning of the vehicle's purchase that i know the problem is escalating. i cannot figure out what "triggers" this event except that when it does happen, my two young children are in the vehicle. a new issue also has presented itself. on july 4, as we were traveling down a narrow road aligned by trees, the vehicle down shifted so hard it cause the vehicle to accelerate and forcibly jerk; however, we immediately regained control of the vehicle. my abs, esp and bas lights are displayed and i have an appointment with the dealership to have this serviced for tuesday, july 6, at which tme i will also ask them to perform another inspection/service my stalling motor issue as well as the new accelerating/jerking issue. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee - i have had surfboards cause the factory roof rack to actually tear through the metal roof due to having no reinforcement around the bolts that attach the factory roof rack to the roof of the car. this occurred on the nj garden state parkway at legal parkway speed. had my two surfboards gone through someone's windshield it could have been a deadly accident. i have surfed for 45 years and never had this problem with any other car. i told the dealer that they should take notice for corrective action to chrysler but they were not interested in doing so. chrysler has photographs of the failure as they had to get approval to cover the repair under warranty. they did repair the car under warranty. i was told that they reinforced with larger washers on both sides of the front part of the racks, but i do not have proof that they did and i do not trust them. i now strap my boards both to the rack and a safety strap through the passenger compartment. i should not have to do this. chrysler has tv ads that show surfboards mounted on the factory racks of their vehicles. which is implied acceptable use. this may be common practice with all manufacturers, but it is in fact a practice on this specific vehicle. this issue would apply to any object on the roof that would be similar to a surfboard; canoes, kayaks, storage pods. *tr

I bought a 2008 jeep srt8 at the end of december 2009 in florida with approx. 18900 miles on it and got a full certified warranty with it. i drove it to minnesota where i live and do not drive it much at all. i have put around 4900 miles on it since then and at best buy putting in new headlights they told me my front tires tread was separating. i already had a appointment scheduled the next day to have the dealership fix the leak in my roof for the second time. the inside tread on both of my front tires was really bad and the dealership said i should not drive it till it gets new tires. i was at a dealership about a month before (fixing leak) and they didn't mention it at all. if the dealership didn't notice it how would i? best buy noticed it and they don't even fix jeep srt8s, what would have happened if it blew on the highway? i am not a heavy foot driver, it drives perfectly and i have never hit anything with the car. looking online it seems this is a huge problem with everyone who has a srt8 suv. i have also had my ac unit replaced, and taillight rewired, airbag control module,esp bas light in dash fixed. when bringing it to the dealer to get it fixed, it seems like its the first one they have ever seen, and just assume that its my driving that causes this. i have only seen 2 other jeep srt8 in real life and most shop people i talk to have never seen one driving let alone worked on one and knows the problems with it. the dealership blames the alignment caused it since the ball bearings were fine to them.the rear tires are fine on the vehicle just the inside of the front and cant find anyone that can explain why they are doing this. i paid 586 dollars to get 2 of the same factory tires with alignment. i do not feel like i should have to pay for new tires and the alignment for it. i think goodyear and jeep no there is a serious problem with the tires and they are still making us pay for it when its there fault. *tr

My 2008 jeep grand cherokee limited has lost power on three separate occasions, each time being about a week apart. the first time i was driving along the highway at approx. 70 mph and i noticed all of my controls had gone black, i had no odometer, no radio, no a/c, my car had completely lost power. i coasted to the shoulder and was able to put the car in park and restart it. the second time was pulling out of a store parking lot, crossing traffic at about 10-15 mph. again, i lost power but was still able to come to a stop, put the car in park and restart it. after this, i brought it to the dealership but they could not replicate the problem and there were no error codes on my car. as i was leaving the dealership and stopped ata red light down the street, i again lost power. this time i was at a complete stop. i put the car in park and restarted and then brought it back to the dealership. again, they did nothing. i have called chrysler and was told that my car did not show up with any outstanding recalls, however i did see a recall on my model year for this exact problem. my car has about 22,000 miles on it and has run perfectly up until now. *tr

We were driving our 2008 jeep grand cherokee on an open road at about 55mph when we heard a loud sound like a muffled gunshot over our heads. no other traffic was in sight and there was nothing overhead. when we pulled over to investigate, we noted that the sunroof was shattered and "pooched" up, yet intact. nothing struck the vehicle and it was not impacted from below. we drove it to the nearest dealer we could find with the nav unit a few miles away. we were met with hostility and basically called liars by the service staff when we told them what happened. it is currently in the dealers shop awaiting a new sunroof. we have had other chrysler products before and have had no issues. other than this incident the vehicle has been a joy to own. *tr

Goodyear tire tread separation on 2008 jeep grand cherokee srt8: both front tires (gy eagle rs-a 255 45r20- run flats) have delaminated leaving me to limp home when the left front tire suddenly went to zero air pressure and that's when i first noticed the problem. this is obviously a very common problem in this tire (see forum thread: http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24831&highlight=good+year+tread+separation) i saved the tires and have pictures. i also have alignment specs showing it was within guidelines. i have since replaced the tires at my expense with another brand. *tr

I am filing this now for july 09 due to the same issue that happened yesterday, 4-7-10.. this is not a safe vehicle and jeep needs to fix this problem. it is unsafe when a vehicle gives no warning and completely shuts off on an interstate. also, please see my safety complaint odi # 10324403 for the 4-7-10 incident. in july 09, after going through a toll at exit 67 barneget toll , garden state parkway,nj, i accelerated to the merge point and vehicle shut down and engine stalled and lost power. several attempts to restart didn't work. seems like it shut down electrically and was not getting gas adequately. seems to lack adequate power. attempt to start several times with no luck, engine wouldn't stay running, long start-up inconsistent, dash lights did come on to inform of no power. let sit to cool down vehicle and was able to start and move to a more safer location. this was the first occurrence and the temperature outside was 90 f and sunny. this occurred at 15000 miles in july 09. vehicle went to 3 service visits and dealers could not repeat. *tr

Vehicle shuts down, engine stalls while driving, also does not start or difficulty starting, seems to lack adequate power..after several attempts, will not work properly. let vehicle sit, "cool down", able to start again, system ok..no dashboard system warnings. i was on interstate 81 south and failure happened. also, this same failure occurred at 15,000 miles. todays failure at 30,221 is the second occurrence. vehicle was towed to scranton dodge jeep service tonight. will await vehicle service from dealer. *tr

Headlamp aiming system failed resulting in unsafe driving condition. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee accelerated out of control while parallel parking damaging 3 other vehicles. *tr

Total engine shutdown, usually without warning. the incident does not seem to correlate with any given speed. the shutdown has happened at 75mph on highway as well as sitting at a stop light. when engine shuts down you lose the power steering and brakes. if it were to stall while making an abrupt turn it could cause an accident. this happens multiple times per day. truck has been with the dealer now for a week and it has them "baffled". the computer system is not logging any malfunction related to the stall. in order to restart the truck you need to place the transmission into park and remove the key from the ignition. the truck will start up immediately and could run fine for as far as 20 miles or as little as 20 feet. i find it rather odd that there was a recall for 1338 vehicles in early 2008 where faulty modules could lead to vehicles stalling while driving. it makes you wonder if the issue was truly contained. vehicle has ~33,000 miles on it. *cn

My 2008 jeep grand cherokee (5.8l) has a persistent problem where the engine will shut off unexpectedly. problem has been ongoing for 9 mounts, and 3 different dealers have been unable to determine the cause of the problem. problem occurs in all driving conditions, and is not repeatable. sometimes engine shuts off very briefly (~.25 second) and picks up with just a 'hiccough' in normal operation, sometimes engine shuts off for > 2 seconds, and i need to shift to neutral, and re-engage the key to start the engine. the problem occurs at random times (on cruise control on straight, flat highway at 65 mph, idling at stop light, accelerating into traffic, slowing for exit ramp). sometimes i will drive for hundreds of miles without an occurrence, sometimes the engine cuts out 5 times in a 5 mile drive. problem is not repeatable, and not predictable. *tr

My parents purchased a brand new 2008 jeep grand cherokee limited. i was driving the vehicle on july 11, 2008 in my neighborhood to pick up some food with my 8 months pregnant sister in law. as i drove the vehicle it accelerated without me pressing on the gas and i lost control and the vehicle hit approximately 3-4 parked cars, i landed in the trunk of another vehicle, on top of it. if it wasn't for the vehicles parked, i don't think the jeep would have stopped. luckily no one was hurt badly and the airbags were not even deployed. this incident has really affected me and the way i drive. i do not even like to be a passenger in jeep vehicles anymore. in january, 2010 my mother dropped her car off at a garage to have it parked. she was called from the garage that the vehicle had been in an accident. the vehicle once again accelerated in reverse and there was damage to the vehicle as well as the garage. jeep cherokee's are extremely faulty, always in the dealership with some issue. this is not a coincidence. this needs to be taken seriously. people can lose their lives if these vehicles are not recalled. *tr

While driving my 2008 jeep grand cherokee and hitting a small bump the emergency brake cable contacts the rear drive shaft universal joint. this is not easily detected upon stopping and restarting it stops. and then again when a bump is hit it happens again. i returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told they have to reroute the cable. i was informed while the rerouting that the cable needed to be replaced. i was charged for a new cable and labor. i believe if the dealer and jeep know the cable must be rerouted it might be routed wrong from the factory. i have checked with a fleet manager of a large municipal police dept that has aprox 300 2008 jeeps, they have experienced this on aprox 50 vehicles that are in there fleet.they were told by jeep to reroute and wire tie the cable in place. i did not unfortunate ask for the used part be returned to me. you assistance in investigating this matter would be greatly appreciated by me and i hope others who have had this problem in the past or future. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee limited model- driver's side heated power mirror exploded while driving. i was driving on 1/30/10 in rye brook, ny and temperatures were approximately 15 degrees fahrenheit. as i was driving the driver's side mirror literally exploded. the roads were clear and free of debris and i swerved off the road as i thought someone had thrown a rock or a ball at my window. i quickly got out of the car and noticed a gaping hole through the mirror but no other damage to any other part of the vehicle. no scratches were on the mirror or the car but there was a greenliquid from inside the mirror loosely scattered in small spots on the driver's side. it was the same green liquid present in greater amounts within the mirror. it was clear the mirror malfunctioned and imploded. i contacted the dealership where i got the vehicle and chrysler corporate headquartered and they said such a defect would not be covered. there could have been a serious injury as i ran off the road i heard the bang and mirror exploded. i then contacted my local body shop and the owner confirmed he has seen faulty wiring and exploding mirrors for power heated mirrors. *tr

While sitting at a stoplight, on two (2) occasions my 2008 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 suddenly accelerated on its own while my foot was on the brake and revved up (throttle surge), then the tach went back to normal, and the engine went back to idling. took it to the dealer i bought it from, they checked the on-board computer and no incident showed; they told me they called chrysler but no one has reported this before and no technical bulletin has been issued regarding throttle surge issues. have only had the vehicle 11 months. now at times, while stopped and idling, the engine will act like it's going to cut off as the idle drops for a few seconds. dealer also did not find an issue in the computer with this problem when i took it in a second time. *tr

Vehicle accelerated when put into reverse. chrysler sent an "independant" inspector, but they will not share the report. in fact, chrysler lied about conducting the inspection. they told me the inspector could not do an evaluation because the vehicle was "disassembled". the dealer tells me the inspector spent two hours with a service technician and test drove the vehicle. i always get suspicious when someone lies to me. this requires follow up to make sure they are not hiding an unsafe defect in their vehicle. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee limited 5.7l hemi 4x4. experiencing loud engine noise when first started. most noticeable when engine is cold. more pronounced on colder days than warmer days. appears to eventually subside after engine reached maximum operating temperature. noise is not engine piston slap, does nopt increase when engine revolutions are increased, rather, it appears to subside, indicating valve train noise due to hydraulic lifter not fully pumping up, resulting in valve train chatter reminiscent of mechanical lifters needing adjustment, due to cold oil (higher viscosity) or low oil pump pressure. changing to manufacturer recommended mobile1 seems to increase noise. *tr

Since turning 38,000 miles my jeep grand cherokee 4x4 limited has begun to stall with regularity. the vehicle also shifts very hard while at highway speeds. the vehicle has stalled while standing at a stop, traveling on secondary roads, and highway speeds. the dealer has changed some sensors etc without any success. even work done at an independent garage has failed to solve anything. this vehicle has become an absolute death trap. i depend on this vehicle for work and to transport my 1 year old. when the vehicle stalls no lights indicate an issue and no codes are stored. the dealer has sent me packing numerous times. they always say to come back when a light comes on. i've tried to explain that the next time may be the last time. a search online showed that my situation is far from the only one. i've had numerous jeeps over the year and never had this problem. something has got to be resolved. not only am i and my family in danger, but anyone near me while i'm on the road. who would expect the car in front of them on the highway traveling at 65 mph to just stop. please nhtsa step up and flex some muscle. *tr

2008 grand cherokee 4x4 4.7l flexfuel stalling at various highway speeds. throttle lagging, harsh up/down shifting, hesitation on torque demand, fuel mileage reduced by 20%. after the first two stalling occurrences, the dealership replaced the fcm (front control module) since the serial number of the installed one-337- matched the february 2008 recall, although chrysler database vin recall search came back empty??!! the third and fourth stalling events were followed up by the replacement of the pcm (powertrain control module) since a "soft fault"-"torque request denied" was found stored within the controller. however, after six hundred miles, a fifth stalling occurred. this time a hard fault related to the map sensor (intake manifold absolute pressure) was found. the replacement was scheduled in 48 hours. there were six dealership appointments(only two documented though ??!!) and it was invariably either "we have to order the part" or "there is nothing wrong we could point at". the almost new vehicle is not safe to be driven on public roads. yet chrysler never provided a temporary replacement until the safety hazard could be located and eliminated. after every attempt of solving the problem, the customer is sent away to try his (her) good luck with a vehicle which might be okay. i don't think this a professional approach for both chrysler and the dealership servicing the vehicle. guessing and safety does not belong within the same sentence ! *tr

2008 grand cherokee 4x4 4.7l flexfuel extremely sluggish on throttle demand (305 hp ???!!!), harsh transmission up/down shift and stalling at highway speeds (four occurrences within five weeks) . the dealership performed the february 2008 recall of the fcm (front control module) after being directed by the customer to do so since the serial # on the module matched the "wrongly manufactured" ones; however, the vin search within chrysler recall database returned empty. evidently, the dealership owning the new vehicle at the date of the recall never performed it (as required by law) . the incident repeated after the replacement of the fcm. the dealership retrieved an abs fault code hence decided that the pcm (powertrain control module) is defective???!!! ( seven days on back order) "lifetime powertrain warranty" seems to be accomplished by ignoring of the driver's safety. the software running on the pcm should never be given the choice of immediately shutting off of the engine especially when the vehicle travels at a high rate of speed. modern steering and braking systems are almost non-operational when there is no available assisting power. *tr

The car came with an ipod connector located in the glove box. this feature was not an upgrade that i purchased after i bought the car, it was a feature that came with the car. this feature was also a feature that was very important to me and one of the sole reasons i purchased this edition of the jeep. about two after the car my entire uconnect system was in operable and so was the ipod connector. i took my car into the south bay jeep dealer near my home located in torrance, and they resolved it. about two weeks later the uconnect system went out again. i brought it in to the local jeep dealer and they resolved the problem. another two weeks after the second time the uconnect system went out again. at this point i was very upset at this is a brand new car, less than two months old and i have already brought it in three times. little did i know that i would soon be bringing my car in every two weeks to get this situation resolved. after 3 months of continuous trips to the southbay jeep dealer they finally resolved my issue with the uconnect system. however, they have yet to resolve my issue with the ipod connector in the glove box. since i have purchased the car i have brought it into the service dealer over 10 times to resolve this issue. its been 10 months since i purchased the car and this feature has not worked since i bought the car. i have sought the attention of dave driscoll, service manager at southbay jeep and he has informed me that he has done everything in his capacity to try to fix this issue. i am deeply disappointed in the chrysler brand. the fact this issue has not been resolved after 10 months is ridiculous. i have purchased a brand new car with features that i can not use. this is not acceptable to me. this is the first time i have purchased an american car and will probably be my last. there is no reason a customer should have to take her car in over 12 times. *tr

Sudden acceleration/ loss of brakes. vehicle accelerated to full throttle while entering from freeway onramp. the driver took foot off accelerator and vehicles accelerator pedal continued to move downward to full throttle and would not decelerate after an attempt to "pump" the accelerator pedal to try and get the pedal to release. the automobile was then put in neutral and the engine would not slow down in" rpm's". the brakes were applied and an attempt was made to stop the vehicle and the brakes were not functioning properly with the automobile coming to a very long and slow stop white trying to maneuver the automobile to the side of the road. once the vehicle was brought to a stop the motor was still at an extreme "rpm" level. the motor was turned off at the ignition switch and the engine finally stopped running. after sitting at the side of the road for sometime the vehicle was restarted and driven to a safe location where the driver let the vehicle sit for an hour or two and restarted for the final drive home(about five miles). the vehicle was taken to the dealers service department the next business day. the dealer ran a scan on the vehicle and diagnosed that the event occurred as stated. the dealer consulted chrysler service center and were recommended to replace the throttle and brake modules for the sudden acceleration and braking problems. the vehicle parts are at the dealer with the vehicle. the vehicle was test driven by the dealer and the customer was told the vehicle was ready. when the customer asked if the vehicle was repaired and safe the service department representative said "we installed the recommended parts by chrysler service" and would not say if the vehicle was repaired properly or safe from the sudden acceleration/brake problem. the vehicle as of today 12-24-2008 remains at the dealer. *tr

I have just taken ownership of a 2003 jeep grand cherokee limited with 85,000 miles on it and after a few months, the passenger side heat went out and soon afterward the driver side heat went out too. my wife and i took the jeep up to a jeep dealership and we were told we were going to have to pay a little over $1,000 to get it fixed. they told us the blend-door actuators went out and that it was a very common problem on jeep grand cherokees ranging from 1999-2004. we are currently getting the problem fixed and are extremely upset that there has not been a recall for this very costly issue. what's even worse is the fact that if we continue to own the jeep, we have been told to expect this problem again in roughly 50,000 miles. *tr

I was driving my '08 jeep grand cherokee laredo and driving on an on-ramp today to get on the freeway going about 35mph, when all of the sudden i lost all of the electric in my jeep. the radio went out, the odometer and temp/compass went blank, and i lost the power steering. luckily i was able to steer it over to the side. i then turned it off and back on and there didn't seem to be any problems. i drove it another hour and half home and didn't have any other issues. no check engine light or warning lights came on at any time i took it to the jeep dealer, however they claimed they could not find any issues. *tr

2008 jeep grand cherokee diesel 4x4. power loss, hesitation, mostly happens at low speeds and gets progressively worse. the vehicle idles fine, then when you step on the accelerator to move out into traffic it sputters and doesn't proceed as expected. very serious safety issue especially since the computer sees no codes so the dealer doesn't know where to start looking. it doesn't do it all the time and it's impossible to determine when it will do it. *tr

I was heading home 8/14/08 6pm when a torrential downpour took place. i entered flooded street, other cars were passing through. in about 8 inches of water the car stalled. when i tried to restart it started to smoke and smelled like something burning. i abandoned the car and had it towed to the dealer. the dealer said the car was totaled. the insurance company confirmed. the adjuster asked me if i had the air conditioner on and when i said yes he said that is what sucked water into the engine and caused the problem . the car was the limited 5.7 hemi engine. the auto is "trail rated" and has the emblem to prove it, strange for a trail rated auto to be totaled in 8 inches of water. all the time i was stuck in the flooded street other vehicles, sedans, suvs and trucks continued to go through the water without incident. the vehicle had 8000 + miles and was leased on november 26, 2007. there was water in the air filter and i assume in the engine and several modules were burnt out. the car was a total loss. *tr

Re: 2008 jeep grand cherokee overland edition purchased in sept of 07. within the first month and 4 times since i have had a loss of power to the vehicle while driving. it has been to the dealer several times for "repair and correction, but the problem keeps happening. the dealer is now at a loss as to how to repair this issue. their solution seems to be that i should pull off to the side of the road when i feel the power failing, shut off the car and then restart it to reset the computer. they have told me that the issue is because the accelerator and the computer stop communicating. this is not safe and it is not right. thank you. *tr

A few weeks ago i purchased a 2008 jeep grand cherokee. the mechanicals are fine. but there is a very pronounced reflection of the curved dash in the window which is exactly in the line of vision. it is extremely distracting, if not dangerously intrusive. it could be easily fixed if they decrease the size of the "gutter" around the curved area above the odometer. i have never seen such a pronounced reflection and in such a critical location, and it should be considered a severe design defect. it is pronounced both on sunny and cloudy days. *tr
