1)The Alternator caught fire. Napleton Jeep Arlington Heights is replacing it so you would have to reach out to them for the part. 2)Driving and smoke started coming from under hood of car. Car stopped dead while I was trying to turn onto side street, almost causing an accident. My safety, other drivers safety, as well as the homes in the area were at risk because of the fire. When hood was opened there were small flames and smoke coming from the Alternator. 3) UNKNOWN 4) UNKNOWN 5) NO WARNING LIGHTS came on prior to any of this happening. No indication by vehicle that there was an issue. Vehicle towed to Jeep dealership and they are replacing the alternator and battery. Do not believe dealer service center is looking into this. They said they are charging me to replace the items. Noticed there was a recall for this issue (T36) but Chrysler said my vin # does not match the "batch" that was recalled. This clearly is the same issue. This needs to be looked at!!! Chrysler needs to stand behind their product and rectify this so no other cars do this. It could have been a catastrophic situation.

Yes the Jeep developed a stall while going down the highway then would crank and run for 3 or seconds and die again and that-€™s all it would do. Check engine light comes on as well as the lighting bolt on dash. I believe the fuel pump is part of the problem seeing how at a qt tank of gas it will die and only run when more gas is added but also the body control module cause it keeps throwing diff codes after I fix the issues. As well as the way it cranks n dies like security issue. This is very common for jeeps everywhere

Two years ago I replaced my thermostat as my car was overheating on the highway, not a big deal as it was just shy of 10 years old. Now two years later I am having the same issues, I brought it in, as it is doing the same thing and it again is the thermostat. It is not a faulty thermostat so, it is something that is obviously making the thermostat fail in the vehicle.

2013 Grand Cherokee: Driving on highway, battery indicator came up on dashboard, all dashboard lights started flashing, windshield wipers turned on, and the car abruptly stalled in the middle of the highway. Inside hood, alternator smoking as if it was going to ignite. Alternator, battery, wire harness, fuse box, computer: all fried. Expensive repair. Problems line up with exactly this existing recall NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 17V435000 "If the alternator fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. There is also the possibility that the alternator may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire." Jeep/Chrysler already fixed this recall on this specific car in 2018. According to dealership the warranty for repair is 2 years. Jeep is allegedly "fixing" these cars resulting in the recall consequence to happen regardless. Looking into this issue online it seems I am not the only person to experience this. Jeep/Chrysler needs to open the recall back up as there are unsafe cars on the road unbeknownst to drivers. In addition to this there is an existing recall-NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 19V813000- fuel pump relay, which can result in the car suddenly stalling and causing an accident. I have been trying for two years to get this repaired by various Jeep dealerships. They claim there is a limited amount of parts. I have been informed numerous times that if the car stalls as a result of that recall they will reimburse the repair, which indicates there isn't a shortage on the part. Jeep is dragging their feet leaving unsafe cars on the road.
Vehicle stalled while driving multiple times. When I try to make an appointment for the Fuel Pump relay recall the part was either out of stock or the Dealer only accepts recall appointments during specific dates and times that are inconvenient. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT)
