My check engine light came on in my vehicle on morning while i was pulling out of my garage. So, i called the dealership and they said that i could get a free diagnostic test from one of the auto stores. I went to o'reilly's, which is a store that sell auto supplies & parts, and they diagnosed a problem with the fuel system. I took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that it was the fuel relay. The dealership…

Ever since the fca ecodiesel exhaust emissions update, my vehicle has had terrible turbo-lag. When you step on the accelerator, especially after a cold start it can take up to 4 seconds to actually move forward. I already reported this once before, but this vehicle is a serious hazard. Trying to cross any type of traffic is dangerous. It also has anywhere from 3-4mpg drop since the update.

After the fca eco diesel settlement recall the throttle on my grand cherokee deisel has severe lag until the car has been driven for several miles. It does not matter if you let the car warm up or not. It is so bad that you cannot trust it to pull out into traffic for fear the throttle will not engage even with adequate space for entering traffic. I have almost been hit several times trying to enter traffic due to…

Emission check engine light for small evaporation emission system leak p0456 fault code. Also, fuel tank wont fill with fuel at higher nozzle flow rates... Possibly due to tank check valve. The check engine light will disqualify the emission test for the vehicle and prevent obtaining a licence plate renewal. The check valve will only allow a slow fill using a manual grasp of the nozzle lever to restrict the flow to…

Between 1/2 & 1/4 tank the vehicle will run out of fuel and stall due to the secondary transfer fuel pump failing to run to transfer the remaining fuel in the horseshoe shaped tank to the side where the main pump draws fuel from . This happens without warning and vehicle will not start until you add fuel to bring the level above 1/2 tank . Have had it to dealer twice for replacement and the pump fails again shortly…

Capless gas cap cracked and it comes right off housing. I screw it back in and drive on, probably safety issue. Jeep dealer can only order entire capless filler assembly. $450 part w/install. They redesigned fuel filler assembly on newer jeeps, but this current faulty design should be recalled at no codt to owner! Also the filler neck broke right at 36000 miles and couldnt fill with gas as it would act like it was…

Vehicle unexpectedly stopped running while driving 70 mph on an interstate. The car began to lose acceleration while in cruise control and, upon trying to accelerate again , the steering wheel began to shake very hard. The car accelerated briefly before coming to a complete stop. I was thankfully able to veer off of the interstate on to the shoulder. After repeated tries, the car would not start. All electronics…

The vehicle was at a full stop in a line of cars to pick up children for school. Let off brake to "inch" forward, and the car suddenly fully accelerated. Brake did not override the acceleration. The car in front was hit causing major damage to both vehicles. It continued to accelerate around that vehicle and then jumped a curb before being able to halt the vehicle and kill the engine. Narrowly escaped killing of…

The check engine light comes on when the fuel gauge drops below 3/4 full and then shuts off when the full gauge reads 1/4 full. The problem is that when the light comes on it disables the remote start function which is sorely missed in new england winters. This have happened at least 10 times this winter if not more and the dealer could not help. *tr

I purchase this vehicle 11/8/2014. Since then here is an ongoing, high pitched noise upon acceleration from zero to any cruising speed. I have taken it to 3 different jeep dealers for this complaint and others. The service departments say it is due to the 9 speed automatic transmission. One dealer tried to blame it on my plastic sunglasses in the overhead storage compartment. One dealer reported to me that the same…
