We have had problems with our 2014 jeep grand cherokee for about 2 years with some delay in acceleration when at complete stop and then lurching forward. Our alternator is now needing to be replaced and is not on the recall list for 2014 jeeps with defective alternator. Ours clearly has a defective alternator.

Driver side air conditioner blows hot air even when temp is set as low as 63 degrees while the passenger side works normally. Service rep at dealership informed me that this is a common problem with jeep vehicles. Was told repairs could be over $1000. If jeep knows that this is a reoccurring problem, why should i have to pay for their error?
