    A year ago i called my dealership about my car not starting just weeks after completing a major (normal) service. After complaining to the dealership and jeep directly, i had my jeep towed and they agreed to fix the fuel pump (a recall that had recently come out, but not yet on my specific jeep). The fix seemed to work for a few months, but then began happening again, only now i can sometimes start the jeep after…

    My 2012 jeep grand cherokee encountered the same problem as stated in the chrysler recall p54, which is the recall for 2011 jeep grand cherokee. The engine would stall while driving, and it also encountered not start problem as well as the not start on the first attempt problem. Even the car could start, the engine would stall again shortly. The problem is resulted from the faulty tipm, which is the same on both…

    Car would not start on first attempt. This occurred everyday for 3 days at which point i brought it to the dealership for service. The problem was an issue with the fuel pump related to a faulty tipm. The part was replaced by the dealership at no charge. *tr

    Went to start car and it just sputtered and stop, had to try 3 to 4 times then would start. This happened every time we had to have a new fuel pump, relay assy with inline fuse assy. Inter loss of fuel pressure. This is a recall on the 2011 and we feel it is a recall for the 2012. Also at that low mileage why would this scare us. We were out of town and in fear of not getting home. We were only 22 miles over the…

    While driving the vehicle just quit. After some time it started again. This has happened 3 times but fortunately all a low speeds. Called the dealer service dept. And they said they have had no problem with these vehicles and if they were not able to recreate the problem there was nothing they could do. After checking possible recalls on line and finding one that appeared to be a possible cause i called the dealer…

    I have a 2012 jeep grand cherokee that was bought brand new in december 2011. In 2013 i experienced my first incident where my jeep started, ran for 1-2 seconds, then died. I tried multiple times to restart it and could not get it to restart. I finally decided to completely turn off the vehicle and start the ignition process over. Thankfully that seemed to work. Between the first incident and the next service visit…

    I started the engine of my 2012 jeep and as soon i began traveling with the jeep fluids poured from the middle of the engine. I did not notice this until i stopped the vehicle after driving 10 minutes. The computer did not show any signs of an error or engine trouble. When i stopped the vehicle and looked under the front of the car i saw a steady stream of orange liquid pouring from the middle of the engine. This…
