Vehicle overheated and spewed all coolant. Several dealer visits, replaced egr, manifold, cylinder heads, hoses, thermostat etc. One occasion fuel was dripping into the engine compartment after repair and the engine compartment was smoking. Another occasion the manifold was smoking. It's only a matter of time before one catches fire. These are suvs used to haul families.

After the emissions recall, my jeep has dangerous lag on acceleration. You press the gas pedal and there is a 3-5 second delay before anything happens. Very dangerous when pulling out of my driveway etc. Additionally the fuel economy has decreased substantially. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks, mike

My vehicle has a long crank but will not turn over. Stuck numerous times. The dealer said they can't find the problem but i see online that earlier models were recalled for the same problem. It was said a faulty fuel pump relay. Am wondering if this is the same problem.

Every time i fill up my gas tank my vehicle will stall out. This has been going on for months now. I took it to the dealership and they are telling me this was a known error and chryster has made modifications to the gas tank/vaper lock but i am responsible for the $1600 it will cost to fix it. If this is a known defect, then it should be covered under a recall.

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.

There is a button on the inside of my jeep grand cherokee to open the fuel door and every time i hit this button the fuel door would make a sound like it was trying to open and it wouldn't. So i was unable to put gas in my car. I took it to my nearest dealership and they had to replace the fuel door housing. Parts and labor cost $448 with tax and it was a 3 1/2 hour job to do but i had to fix this in order to put…

As approaching an intersection i began to coast and place my foot on the brake. At the time i started to brake, the vehicle surged forward for 1 second. As i came closer to a stop, the vehicle surged again at which point i had to "stand" on the brake pedal to prevent me and my family from rear-ending a vehicle and going into a busy intersection.

Car cut off without any warning in traffic. I was almost rear ended. I had to call 911 because i was blocking traffic. Car was towed. It was determined the fuel pump and fuel gauge sender unit needed replacing which is expensive. This car is just 4 years old and i've kept it serviced. If i had been on the interstate i could have been injured. I have receipts.

I tried to start the vehicle but it would not start and an intense smell of gasoline filled the cabin of the vehicle. When i…

The vehicle stalls while you are driving it, transmission light comes on. It says place in park to restart but sometimes takes forever and then it sputters. Sometimes when you turn the vehicle off you can still hear the fuel pump operating. This has happened several times now. I have a child and if anything happens- like getting ran over by oncoming traffic and either of us gets hurt- someone is going to pay dearly.…
