My 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4 has randomly but continuously stalled or hasn't started up successfully for the past year that I have owned it. This has caused much stress, anxiety, and inconvenience for me, my wife and young daughter. We live with the constant fear of being left stranded throughout or own city or worst yet stranded out of town during family road trips. This is completely unacceptable and undesirable as loyal Jeep vehicle owners of several different Jeep models including two Jeep patriots and one Jeep Liberty. This past Friday I was unable to start up my Jeep to go to work and was left stranded in my garage. I had to miss work that day and have the Jeep towed to a local authorized dealership where it is still parked four days later unable to start up and is undiagnosed or repaired. This is causing me and my family much financial hardship due to my wife and I having to alternate missing work or trying to borrow a spare vehicle from other family members. I hope to have a remedy as soon as possible by the manufacturer as this issue and subsequent recall has been in effect since last year 2019. I hope that this complaint does not fall on deaf ears and that a solution is developed and provided to me and my family right away.

The engine oil cooler deteriorates and brake leaving you stranded on a poodle of oil and water without any notice whatsoever other than a great superheating condition that will lead to complete motor failure and possible fire while on the highway while on my way to bringing my grandkids to school.

My 2013 Grand Cherokee has had the stalling issue since I bought it in Dec. 2016. In 2017 after replacing tipm & fuel-pump at our expense, vehicle continued to stall & neither Jeep nor the dealership would do anything other than change the part. We filed with ncds, & the arbitrator did not pursue the case & Chrysler responded that the vehicle was 'operating as intended'. I have electronic copies of those documents. Since the official recall was issued, my car has been in the shop 3-4 times & continues to shut off multiple times daily or every other day. It failed & would not start Dec. 2019 so I took it in & got it back a week later. They claimed my battery was dead & would not hold charge. However, the day before it wouldn't start, I'd driven it back from dallas to lafayette, la w no stall. I'd also driven it around the morning it stopped working so I am not understanding that, but paid for the repairs & a couple weeks later, it failed again. It's my understanding the fuel pump has been replaced twice since my visit in December. I took it in on Jan. 20th for the stalling & got it back on the 21st in the afternoon. Less than 24 hrs later, it stalled again. I called the dealership all last week to report the daily stalls & went back in this past Monday, the 27th, after they did not return my calls to schedule an appointment. It stalled there in the dealership parking lot, & they got a tech to run the codes & it came back as the recall part. Then they ran specific diagnostics per fca's request & said they couldn't duplicate it. Since Monday, it has stalled twice so far today, on Wednesday. The car has stalled while idling with my foot on the brake, while driving it, and upon start it will immediately die after cranking up. The issue is intermittent & poses a huge safety risk for myself & others when it stalls in-operation.
