2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4dr SUV

turbocharged 240hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range

93000 mi Thermostat replacement 
33367 mi EGR cooler recall. Manifold replaced. Waited 9 months for ChryslerFiat to produce part. Could not use Jeep during that time because of risk of vehicle fire! This is the only problem we've had with the Jeep during the last year. Nothing else goes wrong when it can't be driven. I will never buy a diesel again, should have gotten the V8 for towing even if it uses a lot of gas. 
34000 mi Engine warning light on. Dealer's in Orange County area couldn't work on it in the several days we were there. Independent shop read code P24AF meaning either bad sensor, exhaust leak, or bad Power Control Module. Not fixed. Called Tracy, CA. Jeep dealer on Monday for service, left detailed description of problem, haven't heard back by Thursday. Not impressed with Jeep diesel or with dealer(s). 
133000 mi thermostat 
136000 mi Particulate Filter replaced 
142000 mi

US $75
Oil temperature sensor replaced 
8000 mi Exhaust filter full shutting down engine. Shifter recall performed on same trip. 
45000 mi Stutter and loss of power on moderate acceleration between gears 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7 after it had been sitting off for awhile, but only during the first 15 minutes of operation. Seems like turbo overboost and then sudden cutoff at shift time. Causes vehicle to lurch. Dealer could never diagnose. Took it back to them 4 or 5 times for this, but they could never reproduce (or so they said), but it does it for me on nearly every trip. 
3100 mi Had to drive through a severe snowstorm, 1.5-2 ft deep. Snow got packed into the engine bay where it dislodged a wire. Went into limp mode the next day, towed. Thawed the snow, repaired the connection, reset and fine. 
50850 mi Pin holes in driver's side intake manifold & wet soot, R&R, trap clogged, dpf @ 58%, performed recall repair for EGR. Less than 100 miles after this repair, MIL indicated PF22A, NOX sensor with a slow response high to low. Replaced NOX sensor bank 1, sensor 1 - bench regen 
52330 mi Replaced high pressure & primary lift pumps. The shop neglected to replace the fuel lines and injectors which caused continuing problems. 
52830 mi Fuel Injection Quantity Lower Than Expected Reflashed ICU, lost P026 code, ran for 205 miles, no MIL, kept the vehicle for two weeks, only did the software update and test drove for 200+ miles, returned the vehicle dirty inside and out. This was the Cartervilles CDJR dealership. 
55000 mi Replace complete fuel system required due to metal fragments from the high pressure pump, both pumps, fuel lines and injectors. Both the Paulding CDJR and the Cartersville CDJR were unable to correct the problem, in fact, Paulding CDJR failed to follow the correct procedure for the repair. Voyles CDJR did the repair correctly and I would recommend them over any of the other CDJR dealers in the Cobb area.

72540 mi

C $2800
Head gasket replaced, left? side. Head gasket blew about 1 week after an home water pump repair where I forgot to top up the coolant after air bubbles flushed from engine. Drove the truck approximately 6 km with temperature gauge pegged. Just wanted to get home. Cylinder head was slightly warped by overheating but still in spec enough it didn't need resurfacing or replacement. Water pump was replaced. Noisy, kind of rattling noise, for maybe 12 months before the front seal on the shaft went spewing coolant everywhere, but it was a cold night so I drove it home (approximately 12 km). Lots of steam coming from under hood at that point, but I replaced water pump myself in my driveway, and seemed fine, except I missed one step which is always top up the coolant after you circulate it to push air out of system.

Coolant leak at base of radiator where metal and plastic components meet. 
36270 mi Engine light ON: Tech just cleared the light as it may have been weather related and asked to keep an eye on it.

What appeared to originally be a failing thermostat turned out to be a cracked radiator that then caused other damage to the belt, thermostat, mounts, and other areas. All had to be replaced.
