Recall p54/nhtsa 14v-530 my jeep has stalled 5 times in a year. Called chrysler about this recall and they do not have the parts to fix it. Took it to the dealer and was told the same thing. I ask both of them, what if it stalls and i am in a crash. There responds was that they hope that doesn't happen. My question is what can i do about this situation? Thank you *tr

However, this morning, after cycling through multiple attempts and getting the vehicle to start, the…

My car (sitting in the garage at a shopping mall) would not start, i tried to start it 5 times, then let it sit a bit and tried it again and it started. Went directly to eastside chrysler jeep and they repaired it for me. It took a day but cost me 1,310.00. I see there are quite a few cars with the same problem. My car's warranty was still in effect, but the dealership did not honor it. Saying it was a second owner…

We had the car towed to the dealership on 8/19/14. We…

Several attempts were made throughout the day to start my 2011 grand jeep cherokee and it would not start, only a clicking noise. I took it to the dealer immediately and the tipm is bad and needs to be replaced. Obviously, my car is only 3 years old and not under warranty now. The part alone is over $900.00, which seems questionable that something would go bad so quickly on a vehicle and cost so much to repair.…

I have a 2011 jeep grand cherokee limited with approximately 32k miles. I began seeing an issue several weeks ago where the engine would crank but wouldn't start (using push button starter). Eventually it would start. Over the last several weeks the problem has intermittently reappeared but seems to be getting worse as it's taking longer to start once the issue is seen. I've noticed that if i use the key instead of…

The jeep would not start on the first try. It either cranks and cranks and never turns over, or it turns over but never reaches a good idle state and just shuts off. After a few attempts, it would finally start and be ok until the next time i leave it alone for an extended period. I believe the symptoms i am experiencing are the same as those that have been reporting a problem with the tipm, which seems to be a very…

I tested the battery and it read to be normal and upon further review i found many other consumers had the same problem, the vehicle would randomly not start. This happens to me about once a month since we purchased it in march of 2014.…

Additionally, there were several incidents of stalling at a stop sign or exiting the freeway then difficulty restarting. This became more and more frequent, and each time my mechanic was unable to pinpoint the cause. September 4th is the last day that my car started. I had it towed to the…

Jeep gc2011 stalls whiling driving. Ongoing since 2012; mechanics have done a lot of service and repair very costly out of my pocket expences but has not fixed the stalling. Says it maybe the alternator, throttle or ignition problem. The 2011 model should be included in the chrysler recall #t36 (nhtsa #17v435).
