Serpentine belt failed causing loss of power steering. I did not realize what had broken until i looked later, but i was lucky that i was very close to home as it could have caused major engine failure since the belt also drives the water pump and alternator. *tr

The vehicle has been experiencing stalling a couple of times before at low speeds. Also failure to start and a fan like noise coming from around the fuel pump. Chrysler issued a recall on the fuel pump relay, but i am seriously concerned since this is an issue with the tipm and that is not being addressed. The dealership is scheduling 2 months out hoping they would have the part by then, while i am driving with 2…

The dealership said the parts are not going to be available for weeks, possibly months. I…

I was originally going 25 mph and started to slow up because i was approaching a curve but instead of it slowing down it sped up to 35mph while going around a curve.

The first time my jeep stalled i was going around a turn and almost crashed into a highway barrier. I waited a couple minutes, turned my car back on, and kept driving. The second time it stalled, about 1 month later, i was turning into my driveway. It would not turn back on at this point. I brought it to the dealership and after 2 hours of diagnostics they informed me it was the tipm and would be $1,200 to fix.…

Then, i sat there for about 10 minutes while i called my wife to let her know she would need to come get me. Then, i went to see if my jeep would…

A 2011 jeep grand cherokee with 64,000 miles on it is sitting in my driveway, as it will not start. I find it appalling that a car that is 3 years old can have so many issues plaguing it. It is a money pit. There is a cylinder 2 misfire (needs cylinder head), a torque converter code, and a faulty fuel pump relay on the 'totally integrated power module'. The safety of my family, and the consumer in general, is…
