There have been more recalls than I can count, but recently I was driving it and the alternator (which was recalled) when out in the middle of driving and I had immediately pull over and lost control of the car. I've had another recent recall not the shifter and my stereo randomly went black, allowing no control over the vehicle settings or A/C. this car is a lemon!

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Without warning, the contact noticed smoke rising from under the hood. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (phillips Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 3440 S pine ave, ocala, fl 34471, (352) 732-7577) where it was diagnosed that the alternator assembly needed to be replaced. The alternator was replaced and the dealer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 14V634000 (electrical system) due to the amp being 180 and not 160. It was unknown if the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 17V435000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no solution other than having the dealer replace the part. The failure mileage was not available....updated 10/23/17

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving 25-30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to normandin Chrysler Jeep Dodge (located at 900 capitol expressway auto mall, san jose, ca 95136, tel: 408-266-9500) where it was diagnosed that the eco-mode feature, which was defaulted on, caused the vehicle not to be responsive.

Had rapid failure of alternator very similar to what is mentioned in NHTSA 14V-634. Based on the fact that mileage seems to be low for an alternator failure (44K) and same engine had similar issues, I question why my Jeep isn't covered in the recall or if the recall should/needs to be expanded. We were parked with the engine running. When I shifted the car in reverse, the low voltage light came on, the alternator quit working and ended up destroying the drive belt. There was smoke coming from the alternator and I was concerned of possible fire.

My vehicle's alternator suddenly started making a high pitch whistling noise, the radio and other electronics were not working in the vehicle, so I stopped. A white smoke started to pour out of the front grill and the smoke smelled like plastic/wires burning. I opened the hood and noticed the smoke was coming from the area where the alternator was. After the smoke stopped, I attempted to turn the vehicle on and nothing would work. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The dealership stated my battery was burnt up, the alternator was dead and they had to replace the usable link because that also burnt up. They also said they placed a battery in the vehicle to figure out what was wrong and their battery burnt up as well. They said they have never seen anything like it before. The vehicle only has 64,000 miles on it.

Sudden failure of the alternator causing the vehicle to stall while driving. Very dangerous and luckily I was not on a highway.

Alternator seized on the car after only 33,000 approx. The vehicle is just outside of the 36 month warranty. Jeep will not fix and says it does not fall under recall P60/ NHTSA 14 -634 even though the issues described in the recall are exactly what happened to my vehicle. I called the Jeep dealership and fca and neither are willing to work with me or do anything to resolve the problem. I'm told per my VIN number that my vehicle does not have the faulty alternator yet it has the exact problems of the recalled one from the same year. Issue description- I was driving from nashville tn to naperville il and approximately 3 hours from naperville I stopped for gas and a break and upon starting the car the battery light came on. I continued to drive to naperville il and upon exiting the highway the car started losing power. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner and not like a normal engine. I keep driving and pulled into a parking lot. As I pulled in I lost all electrical components, including the brakes. The car would not start. Upon taking it to my mechanic, then to a Jeep dealership it was determined the alternator seized and damaged the battery and belt. They refuse to correct it and I'm now paying $680 for repairs.

Multiple problems with the forward collision warning (fcw) and adaptive cruise control (acc) systems 1) system will issue false brake warnings (and apply brakes if enabled) on clear straight roads with no other cars or obstructions. 2) system will disable itself at random intervals disable itself for a period of time (10-20 minutes). Only notification is brief "fcw/acc system disabled" notification in gauge cluster - no audio warning that important safety system disabled itself. 3) when using acc, when vehicle resumes set speed after autonomous braking, vehicle will accelerate into back of next vehicle ahead - have to manually intervene and apply brakes to prevent collision. Note that this vehicle uses a Bosch lrr3 radar sensor system for the fcw and acc features. Vehicle has been into Jeep dealers for service for this issue five times, and even after opening star case with Jeep/Chrysler fca, still no fix for this serious safety issue.

"takata recall" driving to work my car made a loud whistling noise and the battery light came out. I let it sit during work and after work I started it up. I then hopped in and while driving I noticed a burning smell coming into the truck and it was smoking from the hood at a stop light. I proceeded home and the smoke was now inside the car. My baby cousin was in the car and he began coughing, that's when I looked over and noticed it was very smoky in the car. I kept driving home (the street way) rolled the window down slightly for ventilation and noticed that my parking sense light came on. At the next light, my abn light came on along with the check engine light, and several other lights. That began to scare me and I knew it wasn't just my battery. The next time I took my foot off of the brake the smoke from the hood increased as well as in the car. The windshield wipers began going crazy, and I could tell that the car wasn't letting me use the gas anymore and the wheel began to lock up. This really made me nervous because it was extremely hard to turn it. At this point im panicking and causing traffic. Pulling into a safe location, the wheel was completely locked at this point and even pushing the brake was hard. After coming to a complete stop the car wouldn't let me put it in park, then the vehicle just shut off. The smoking continued for a few minutes but I jumped out as soon as it came to a stop. Luckily I took another route home or else I would have been on the highway when this happened. I then called aaa and waited outside to get the truck towed. It took them 25 minutes to come after a 5 minute phone call requesting their services. I got my belongings out of the truck and it still smelled like burnt smoke even after waiting with the window cracked. I don't have pictures, I have videos.

The alternator started smoking after driving it 1/4 mile and then stopping. Alternator was smoking while the vehicle was in motion. Alternator continued to smoke after the vehicle stopped. The alternator turned a cloudy black because of the smoke and the car suddenly did not work. Vehicle was towed (for free) to raf's auto repair in kapolei, hi and fixed. The mechanic said that the error code for the Jeep stated that the alternator suddenly failed for unknown reasons. Most likely a faulty alternator. The grand total to fix this issue was $863. I called Chrysler to see if my vehicle had a faulty alternator recall. It did not. So I could not get it fixed by Chrysler. I gather from the 10 recalls on my vehicles year make and model group, that this alternator was a factory default and I should not be paying for it. This issue should be taken into consideration by Chrysler company and I believe that Chrysler should pay for this repair bill.
