Aug 2021 2385 mi	Found exterior signal light operation (front, possibly rear) non existent when using lane change feature operation, even though assistant confirmed dash light indicator showed operation from within vehicle. (Discovered this while viewing suspect vehicle in rear view mirror - while leading suspect vehicle.) Located a deserted area, had assistant placed at roadside while driving toward and away from same, observing front and rear signal light operation. Confirmed faulty operation. Subsequently, placed (reflective) foil strips at outside mirror indicator lights to monitor operation when driving alone - intermittent number of flashes observed - not always 3 flashes and confirmed with dash light indicator operation as well. Reported concern(s) to Dealer, however they could not duplicate operation within shop. (Also contacted FCA Canada with concerns about safe/unsafe operation of vehicle.) Was advised to monitor light operation and report any further instances of faulty operation. Problem seems to have corrected itself.
Sep 2021 2760 mi	After returning from a trip, unit was parked in garage. A short time later returned to garage and found strange smell.

Jeep Grand Cherokee in Maryland, United States Jul 2017 - Jul 2022
Jul 2022 88000 mi US $695	Ticking sound under load. Misdiagnosed as failing front right spindle. Further diagnosed as failing drive shaft segment between the transmission and the transfer case. Vehicle returned to service without addressing the drive shaft issue in order to make a warranty claim with the dealership. Ticking audible when accelerating from a stop on an incline when drivetrain under load diagnosed by independent repair shop as failing drive shaft segment between transmission and transfer case. Despite my informing the dealer service departing maintenance manager of this, they decided to troubleshoot the issue without taking this into consideration. After keeping my vehicle at the dealership for 5 days, they called and informed me that they had been struggling to isolate where the noise was originating from but had come to a consensus that the front right spindle was failing and would need to be replaced. I explained to the service manager that this diagnosis was very likely incorrect by virtue of the fact that the right front spindle had already been replaced the week prior, and reiterated what the previous maintenance shop had concluded was causing the noise after 4 days of troubleshooting and fault tracing. I explained to him for the second time that it was the aforementioned driveshaft, which he finally accepted and communicated to the floor mechanic. Later he called and informed me that they had inspected that drive shaft segment and indeed found abnormal wear marks which explained the noise, confirmed the fault which was originally given to them, and that the drive shaft and related components would need to be replaced. He informed me that the repair was covered under the extended warranty, but the parts needed to be ordered from the national Mopar parts distribution center. He explained that the global supply chain issues were indeed being felt by their system as well, and that while the parts would be ordered that day, he expected at least a week and a half delay before they would be delivered to them. I authorized the repair and accepted the vehicle back into service with the understanding that they would contact me once the parts arrived to schedule the maintenance repairs needed. This occurred 3½ weeks ago, and despite my making no fewer than a dozen calls per week to inquire, these parts have still not arrived as of this writing.

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.
Jul 2019 46000 mi US $700	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.

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.)

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.
Jan 2018 34000 mi US $200	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.
Jun 2018 36000 mi US $281	Warning message on dash read: "Exhaust filter 100% full. See dealer."

Dealer's service department replaced in-cabin dust and pollen filter which they said was dirty. (Replacement of this filter cost a total of $65.95 for parts and labor.)

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.

Dec 2014 106000 mi US $215	leaking rear pinion seal replaced. Dealership couldn't find cause for vibration at 40 mph and transmission slippage at cold temperatures though.
Feb 2015 108300 mi US $160	The adjustable pedal switch failed and the left turn indicator switch failed. Repaired with a new pedal/seat switch board and new turn signal stalk.
Dec 2017 134000 mi US $150	Took to car wash, was running fine. Stopped/started a couple more times that day, but then just stopped turning over at all. Fuses/relays all in good order. Took to shop, they couldn't start, but by the time they fulling outfitted the Jeep with instruments to track the fault it fired right up and continued to do so for another 12-15 restarts immediately after while in the shop. Will likely replace the starter in the near future.
May 2020 140000 mi US $10	The connector to the starter solenoid on these Jeeps are cr@p. Had to splice in a new connector/wire to the start solenoid terminal. Simple job, but a PITA since you can only get 1 hand in that area to work. Would have been nice to have a lift. Likely much easier to do if 2WD. That said, much easier to do than to replace the starter when the problem is the harness/connector!
Dec 2020 142000 mi US $2000	Front right axle seal was bad for a while and who knows how long front diff was running with virtually no oil. Rear pinion seal was bad and replaced a few years ago, but when changing rear diff fluid, clearly water was present and possibly for years in there. So as a preventative maintenance item, both the front and rear differentials were rebuilt (new ring & pinion, seals, front diff mount, rear axles). In reality all parts actually still looked good, but I wasn't going to chance it to tow things. Unfortunately the rear end ring and pinion whine was not resolved. it is definitely quiter, but still very pronounced with the Chrysler 8.25" diff. Possibly a higher-end R&P kit might have fixed it, but functionality and cheaper costs are my priority with this vehicle.
Dec 2021 149000 mi US $25	injector seal (copper crush washer) was leaking. Removed injector, cleaned injector and seal seat in head, installed in copper washer with the old injector. This is the 3rd injector this was needed in the past 10,000 miles (all different injectors), so seems like the injector seals are good for around 140,000 to 150,000 miles.
