Sour smell coming from A/C. Was told a Chrysler Tech Tip indicated there was nothing they could do, it would get better over time. Engine shutoff feature when stopped at traffic lights, etc. not working. Turns out there is a separate battery to reengage the starter and it had lost its charge. Odd discoloration on hood, appeared to be under clearcoat. Turned out to be something else, a contaminant picked up after I got it, dealership's body shop buffed it out.

Transmission stopped working. Had to get it towed to dealership. Transmission hose wasn’t properly seated, so it leaked transmission fluid slowly. Problem probably happened when car was assembled. The dealership seated the hose properly, which fixed the leak and they replaced the transmission fluid. Everything seems fine since.

Low speed loud squeal coming from both rear wheels and tied to wheel speed. Only does it when vehicle has cooled off from driving. Of course, dealer could not replicate. Getting worse over time, so I'm hoping they'll be able to replicate and fix before warranty expires.

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.

Loud rattle coming from passenger rear area of panoramic sunroof. After a couple trips to the dealer, they were able to reproduce the problem. They failed to repair it the first time, so I brought it back a second time for the same thing. They found a nut had come off a fastener and was rattling in a metal channel near the sunroof. They said they tightened it back up, but I demanded they redo the work using loctite so it wouldn't come loose again.

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.

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.

Manual dash controls stopped working. This included hvac buttons, volume and tuning knobs for radio, and a couple others. Dealer updated software which fixed the issue but caused dash lights to stay on 24/7. This lead to a dead battery. A previous software update caused dash lights to remain on 24/7 that caused battery to die. Second trip was necessary to re-install software. This fixed issue.

LED license plate lights were both out (had to fix before car would pass NY safety inspection).

New harness had better sockets with rubber seals to prevent (?) future problems.

Sensors (2) for the braking system and cruise control acting up. Due to family emergencies we could not get this repair done while still under warranty. They initially quoted $2,100, saying the extended warranty didn't cover these parts (though the salesman had told me it "covers everything"), then $700, and ultimately charged $132.50. This Grand Cherokee, my wife's, had one or two similar problems in the first 36 months we had it. (We bought the Jeep around 20 March 2014, so it is just over 3 years old, and has less than 31,000 miles on it at this time.)

Warning message that vehicle had a "suspension problem" and needed to "immediately" be returned to the Jeep dealer. We were told "a suspension (ride height control) module has failed." A new module is on order but will not arrive at the dealership until Tuesday, 10 October. We picked up our car today, 6 October, because my wife and I are flying to Hawaii on 9 October. We'll have the module replaced after returning to Utah in late December. (We were told the module will be replaced under the dealer's "LandCar Warranty" that was added to the price of the Grand Cherokee when we bought it new on 21 March 2014. We have a $100.00 deductible on the "module" and labor for replacing it.

Ride height control module replaced. We have an extended warranty on the Jeep. We paid the deductible, which was $200.00. The dealership, Larry H. Miller Jeep of Provo, Utah, had the car for a week (related in part to a 3 day weekend). They furnished my wife with a Jeep Renegade---and, surprise of surprises, they did not charge her for the "rental" car! The exact odometer reading as of 28 February 2018 is: 35,250 miles. This mileage is still valid as of 2 April 2018, as we've been on Molokai since the evening of 28 February.

(Replacement of this filter cost a total of $65.95 for parts and labor.)

Weather warmed up. Noticed rattling noise, seemingly random, with windows down. Crawled around and noticed that right rear-most muffler hanger was not reinstalled after major repair from previous month. Returned to dealer. They said "that wasn't it", "had to use Chassis Ears", "probably rock in front left brake dust cover", "that'll be $150, please and thank you". Noticed left rear shock was leaking, apparently leaking for some time. Dealer didn't tell me during previous visit. Called and set up another appointment. I said "one of my shocks is leaking". Received automatic email from dealer which stated "customer states left rear shock is leaking". Dealer read my mind! Extended warranty covered cost after $100 deductible, but would only replace ONE shock. I thought these had to be replaced in pairs! I'm done with Chrysler and Wickstrom Jeep in Barrington, IL.

Engine shuddered after start up as if a spark plug was bad or an injector was not working. Spark plugs replaced in previous 2000 miles. Cleared up just before dealer. Dealer switched them to OEM plugs, said must use these. The problem with the door locks continued even after several trips to the dealer that could not duplicate the problem. As I told them, it seems to occur at normal highway speeds and when the road has a number of bumps. We also had a continuous rattle that was diagnosed as a clip of some sort that came loose in the sliding roof area.

Relay for electric fuel pump failed and needed replacement. The fuel pump didn’t fail while the vehicle was running. Rather, it had been giving problems starting. Once running it was usually fine. Eventually it would not start at all, and I had to get it towed from home to the dealership. There were no codes or other clues, but of course an electrical test was able to isolate the problem to the fuel pump relay.

The stereo amplifier was defective and created feedback through the speakers. The torque converter seems to have a shudder during wide open throttle passing maneuvers. This is noticeable on back country roads. The dealer claims that the torque converter needs 6,000 miles to break-in. Others have reported issues. The stereo amplifier failed. The radio worked but loud feedback came through the speakers. The problem was intermittent but diagnosed by the dealer.

Transmission Shudder - Primarily WOT during a downshift between 40-50mph passing maneuvers. In this case I noticed it following the owners manual instructions during break-in. Originally reported at 1700 miles. Rear Flipper Window Misalignment - Adhesive is coming off the brackets and the window became misaligned. The window closes against the rear pillar and has scratched the paint. It has also shifted the tailgate off-center. Driver Side View Mirror Blurry - I believe it came this way at delivery and I forgot to ask about it. The reflection always looked like double vision. You would see two sets of headlights in the rear view mirror. Diagnosis - Replace mirror Defective Key Fobik - One key Fobik stopped working. When inside the vehicle it would say "Damaged Key" on the EVIC. Diagnosis - Replace Key Fobik Front Tweeter Rattle - During uConnect calls the front tweeter would rattle. I asked them to look at the housing. Diagnosis - Front Tweeter but part is on back order. HVAC Blower Noise - Sounded like fins inside the fan were brushing against something. Diagnosis - Replace Blower Motor 
Apr 2011

Blower motor was replaced due to fins inside the unit rubbing something. The the speaker was on backorder and this visit was to install it once it came in. The mirror was defective and was on backorder. When available it was replaced and is not acceptable. Replaced front axle isolators to reduce transmission vibration and downshift shudder. Problem not resolved and in some cases was made worse. This on-going shudder problem cannot seem to be fixed. The vehicle has been in the shop for 21 days now. They replaced the drivetrain control module. Chrysler determined it was the wrong module. Did not fix the problem. They replaced the rear flipper window that become unglued and misaligned. I was told that the shudder is now a normal characteristic of this vehicle. I was told the vehicle did not shudder early on because the torque converter does not perform normally for the first 2,000 miles; the shudder is now normal.

Vehicle has a clunking in the rear suspension. I have not taken it in to get fixed yet, so I can't yet confirm what the issue is entirely. Rear window washer is no longer working. Vehicle handling is awful.
