My 2011 jeep grand cherokee overland v8 hemi stalls while slowing down to turn onto another road, or going from highway speeds to exiting a ramp. It's been occurring for several years. I've already had the fuel pump relay recall fixed twice, and my jeep still stalls out almost on a daily basis. It turns out chrysler issued a recall (t36) for 2012-2014 jeeps with alternator issues; however the information i have read…

The car randomly won't start. It has full power but does not crank. Many owners with various years of jeeps have had this issue and the dealer often can't identify the problem partly because the car starts after it has been towed. Many owners end up spending $1000's on repairs and tows only to have it continue. It's very dangerous because you never know when or where it will happen. I just had mine towed to the…

My 2011 jeep grand cherokee is leaking from what appears to be coming from the trans cooler part just above the a/c condenser. This seems to be an extremely common issue with the 2011-2013 models.

Timp recall, was repaired jan 2015. Today vehicle stalled in traffic, completely shut down and lost power steering, while making a left hand turn. I am lucky i was not in an accident. I was able to restart the vehicle. I have made an appointment with the dealer, but since it was repaired previously, not sure what they will do for me. Obviously there is still a problem the recall did not repair.

It has happened while turning both left and right, going up hill and down hill, and more often when the engine is cool. The fuel level can be full or low and it still happens. Friday may 19, 2017 it happened four times in a 20 mile trip on roads with speed limits ranging from 30mph…

When driving the engine will turn off with no warning. Since december until now, it has done this a total of 6 times. 3 of the times either merging onto the freeway or getting off of the freeway. Scares me so much. I have been lucky enough to not have anyone crash from the behind. My steering wheel locks, and the brakes become very hard to push down on. Its hard to move out of the way of traffic.
