TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING BEGAN TO FLICKER AND THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF BAY RIDGE (8825 5TH AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11209, (718) 836-2600)WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE START/STOP FEATURE ON THIS MODEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE MALFUNCTIONED AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE I WAS AT A RED LIGHT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME (THE FEATURE WORKING AS IT SHOULD AT THAT MOMENT); WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK, TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON FOR THE ENGINE TO POWER BACK UP AND MOVE.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP USED IN APRIL OF 2019. ON 2 OCCASIONS SO FAR, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. IT TAKES ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO GET IT RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES WHILE STOPPING AT A LIGHT IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I HAVE SEEN OVER 30 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. ALL REPORTED STALLING OUT WHILE DECELERATING THE VEHICLE. SOME REPORTED THAT IT STALLS WHILE DECELERATING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN, FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR STALLED I WAS NOT TURNING. THE SECOND, I WAS DECELERATING WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN. THIS CAUSES A HUGE SAFELY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 65K MILES.

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING IN DRIVEWAY IT STALLED ON THREE OCCASIONS, WAIT TEN SECONDS, PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTS UP. BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP (WILLIAMSBURG VA JEEP INVOICE # 150495&151000) TWICE, CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE (CAST #58123405) TO NO AVAIL. DEALERSHIP STATED THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION AND THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE AUTHORIZED BY JEEP, WHICH IT WASN'T.

DASH BOARD INFO SAYS VEHICLE WILL NOT OPERATE IN AUTO BECAUSE BATTERY IS CHARGING THIS ACTION MAY BE RELATED TO PROBLEM T75

THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE OFF IS A HAZARD, I TRIED TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STALLED TO GO, WHEN IT DID FINALLY GO, IT WAS TOO LATE, BUT IT JERKED INTO MOTION AND THEN STALLED AGAIN ONCE I STEPPED ON THE BREAK, THIS PLACED ME IN A VERY BAD SPOT. IT TOOK A FULL RESTART TO GET MY CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS SO DANGERS! I TRIED TO REMEMBER TO TURN IT OFF WHEN I GET IN HOWEVER THIS IS A NEW CAR FOR ME SO I DON'T ALWAYS REMEMBER UNTIL IT GOES INTO IT SLEEP MODE. THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH SOMETHING MORE RELIABLE OR PERMANENTLY DISABLED. I PLAN TO HAVE IT LOOK AT WHEN I GO FOR MY OIL CHANGED. THE STALL HAS HAPPEN TWICE NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "START, STOP, DISABLE" WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AS I EXITED OFF THE PARKWAY I CAME TO A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE EXIT RAMP. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THEN IT WOULD NOT EVEN LET ME SHIFT GEARS. THE LIGHTS AND WINDOWS WORKED, BUT THE ENGINE AND THE HEAT DID NOT. THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME THREE MONTHS AGO (SAME SCENARIO, CAR STALLED AFTER THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHT COMING OFF THE PARKWAY, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ETC. EVERYTHING EXACTLY THE SAME) , AND AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SAID THAT A COMPUTER ERROR SHOWED THAT IT WAS THE ALTERNATE BATTERY THAT DIED SO THEY REPLACED IT. BUT THIS LAST TIME, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO "COMPUTER ERROR" AND THEY GOT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE SO THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD FIX. I BEGGED THEM TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER OR TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO COMPUTER ERROR (SUPPOSE THE COMPUTER WAS WRONG?) BUT THEY DENIED ME AND WERE ADAMANT THAT WITHOUT A COMPUTER ERROR CODE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THEY WOULD NOT CALL ANYONE. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I WAS ON A MAJOR ROAD WITH A CURVE/OFFRAMP AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE EVEN WITH MY HAZARDS ON, CARS WERE SEEING ME TOO LATE AND ALMOST HITTING ME.
