Intermittent stalling issue. Initially the vehicle starts and runs fine. After stopping or extended driving duration the vehicle will random start stalling and check engine light flashes and dings. This will last for a few minutes sometimes and other times the entire trip. The last few times this has happened we were nearly rear ended and pulled over until it was somewhat drive able. I am terrified to drive it at…

Design traps crud between the skid plate and fuel tank. Over time, removes the paint and causes corrosion. Hole in fuel tank causes loss of fuel. Jeep is selling $1,650 replacement tanks at a rate of 5 per week. Others are trying to repair the tank. See jeep forum: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/rusted-out-crd-tank-3106977/

Red "bolt" idiot light appeared, motor could not go above 45mph, no more than 16mpg. Pulled over immediately and tried to find a dealer or service facility. Vehicle could make it the 5 miles back to apartment. Searching the web, the jeep/mbenz "swirl motor" apparently has a design defect. The oil vents back into the air, which causes sludge and tar, which then closes the swirl motor vents causing it to stop. With…

Fuel/Propulsion System
Rear corners of the fuel tank corrode due to design of tank and tank mount, tank protection armour. Dirt, moisture, mud, road salt, etc get trapped in between steel tank and steel cradle and tank corrodes. This causes pin holes in the tank, and eventually larger holes, or larger areas of weak corroded metal.

I was driving on the freeway in san jose, ca and the engine light comes on and a flashing red electric light also. I immediately noticed an immediate loss of power in the vehicles engine and when i pressed the gas pedal the jeep didn't respond at all. When going up a hill the jeep loses power and i have to downshift in to lower gears just to climb the smallest hills. I took the vehicle into the dealership and the…

I have received a notice that there is a recall on this vehicle, it has been over 8 months and the dealers are no closer to having a solution to fix the problem than when i was first notified. I understand that the dealers are as much in the dark over this recall as the customers. What can i do as a customer to speed up this process. *js

I purchased my jeep a little over a year ago used. I have had numerous problems since i have purchased it. First it was thought to be an electrical problem since the car would randomly shutter, would not want to start or just turned off. Battery was replaced multiple times, since it would leave stranded at any given time. The engine light comes on, but there has not been a solution to what it can be. I feel very…

Started with traction control light flashing, then it slowed vehicle felt like brakes were on, gave it more gas and got no speed increase, pressed on the brake and then it seemed to surge and speed up on its own. This was unexpected acceleration &could have lost control. After this! It went back to normal driving. Next day took a 110 mile trip traveling 70 mph on highway no issues until i arrived at destination…

Fuel System, Diesel · Fuel/Propulsion System
The fuel return assembly on the 3.0l turbo diesel engine leaks fuel due to the failure of the clamps on the hoses and the o-ring at the return assembly connection point. This has been acknowledged by daimler benz and chrysler as a technical service bulletin on other vehicles with the same powertrain and could result in a fire but has not been recalled. *tr

The vehicle experienced significantly reduced power while driving in freeway traffic. It was necessary to move to the far right lane and exit the traffic flow. This has happened on several occasions since. Several emissions systems parts were replaced and the problem has recurred. It is unsafe when the condition occurs in heavy traffic. The vehicle has a 3.0 litre diesel motor manufactured by mercedes benz. *tr

Jeep looses power, will not accelerate over 30 mph. This has not happen on a highway yet (luckily) only in-town driving. No error codes present in dtc report or from a diagnostic that cost $90.00 something needs to be done about this before an accident results in a fatality. There seems to me many instances like this on these boards. This is the first investment of a 'real' vehicle that i've had. To pay money for…

While driving on the interstate at 65 mph, the vehicle's engine stalled. I had to put the vehicle in neutral, turn the ignition off an back on to restart it. This first happened just after the 30 day warranty was over, as i bought the vehicle used in may of 2012. Since that time, the vehicle has stalled at highway speeds or when slowing down for a stop on dozens if not hundreds of occasions. The spark plugs, egr…

Vehicle stall out at various speeds, or when idling stationary. Comes on without warning. Seems these stalling problems are common with 5.7 hemi jeep grand cherokees, even according to the dealer. This is a serious safety hazard as power steering and brakes are lost during a stall. An inoperative vehicle in a traffic lane could suffer a rear-end collision from this condition. Please help by ordering a recall from…

I have had this vehicle to the multiple dealerships since i owned it. There is a two second delay when you push down on the accelerator. Dealerships can't find anything wrong. I replaced the catalytic converters, 4wd module. Every light comes on, check engine, check gas cap etc. It now gets horrible gas mileage and the transmission stopped working. This has been a lemon since day one and jeep refuses to correct the…
