FCA US LLC issued an important safety recall Z46/NHTSA 22V-406 on June 09, 2022. It has been over a year and they have not provided a remedy, with the recall in status 'recall incomplete, remedy not yet available'. Given that this important safety recall can result in loss of motive power and inability to restart the engine, I do not believe this recall being open for a year is acceptable. FCA US LLC has now issued a second important safety recall 66A/NHTSA 23V-411 on June 08, 2023. This second recall can also result in a loss of motive power with the inability to restart the engine. My complaint is that FCA US LLC is identifying safety recalls but is not providing remedies, which is resulting in recalls stacking with no known remedy to prevent a crash or unsafe situation.
Since purchased new, vehicle frequently loses acceleration, at varying vehicle speeds and will not exceed engine idle and has happened several times when crossing oncoming speeding traffic and is hard to avoid dangerous collision. To get the engine to accelerate again, operator must stop the vehicle, put the can in park, shut the engine off then restart. Most of the times, it is hard to find a spot in the traffic to go through the above maneuver creating a very dangerous situation as it has happened in the HOV lane of freeways during high speed and crowded traffic, no place to pull over.
Terrible band aid like fix of the software -??update-?? truck runs awful, .The fuel pump recall has me worried about safety concerns, the transmission tune feels unsafe for new drivers and the big, loss of value, and lack of reliability it took 2 months for a recall. I am a disabled combat veteran on a fixed income I can not afford such maintenance and the lack of reliability
Dear Sir or Madam, I want to file this complaint regarding an authorised JEEP Dealership and Service in Kyiv, Ukraine (Stolychne Highway, 90, 03045), which refuses to repair my Recall 22V-406 on my 2016 JEEP Grand Cherokee Overland. According to that I'm not able to use my car until it will be maintained and mentioned above Safety Recall will be completed because it may cause a car accident on the road or highway without my fault and this can seriously affect my, my family-??s and others people health. I hope you can make a right influence on this authorised JEEP Dealership and Service to make sure this unpleasant situation will not happen again with me or any other client. Looking forward to answer from you.

I started the car and before I could change gear, the engine check light came up immediately so I took the car to a dealership to get it checked out. The dealership mechanic accessed the problem and said it was a leaking fuel tank filler pipe assembly that caused the system to not seal. My concern is that my vehicle has never been in any accident so how can a leaking pipe occur with just normal driving?? It must be a manufacturer defect because a leaking pipe can't happen with just normal driving. If it did then that means all the cars on the road will have leaking fuel pipes from regular driving.
Initially called to schedule an appointment with the jeep dealership due to engine coolant loss in December of 2021 in regards to a recall of egr cooler (W79). Couldn't get an appointment until 2/25/2022. Told it was safe to drive until. 2/25 took vehicle in for inspection of said recall, told yes it does have problem, but no parts until 3/14/2022, safe to drive. Brought back 3/14/22 dealership still has vehicle, not safe to drive, still waiting on parts. Now there is a new recall (Z46), vehicle unsafe to drive, no parts or time when parts will be available.
My 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee 75th edition 3.0L Ecodiesel stalled with no warning while driving on a two lane highway in the middle of NoWhere, New Mexico. No warning lights, until the entire dashboard turned on and the car starting losing speed and power. I don't know how I was lucky enough to make it to the shoulder. I sat there for 2 hours with my 2 kids in the car waiting for a tow, 8 hours from home. I have come to find out that there is one recall for my EGR but when taken to the dealership I was told that my car was built with magnetic material attached to the tone wheel which provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor and was lost therefore leaving me stalled and stranded. I have looked up my recalls and that one is not on there! How is that possible.
While driving the vehicle and towing my boat (approx 4500lbs) for the previous hour or so on state highway between 50-65 mph with some stoplights (not interstate), the check engine light (cel) came on and the driver interface on the instrument cluster came on displaying something to the effect of "service electronic throttle control system". continued driving approximately 2 miles to get to an intersection to turn off the main road. Once stopped at the stoplight I noticed slight smoke coming from the left front corner of the hood by the headlight. I placed the vehicle in park, put the hazards on and pulled the hood release. By the time I exited the vehicle and made my way around the door to the hood, thick black smoke was billowing from all around the hood and flames were noticed coming through body gaps and the grill. Within 30 seconds the entire engine bay and hood was engulfed in flames. I did manage to get the boat unhooked and pushed back and documented with photos. This is the third time these indications (cel) and driver interface displayed the exact same indications. The first time it resolved upon shutting down the vehicle. The second time, it was brought to the dealer. Approx 1 month prior to the fire the dealer found nothing on inspection and reset the code. The code was for excessive egr flow. Additionally the dealer performed any outstanding recalls on the vehicle. This vehicle was equipped with the 3.0 eco diesel engine and was bought new, dealer, serviced its entire time and had approximately 70K miles on it. I have no doubt this was directly rated to an egr problem that these particular engines have had issues with directly resulting in the fire.
Driving down the highway and lost all power. Will not restart. Towed to dealer they say it's fuel pump related. It is a fuel pump relay which is a very known issue (recall) on 2011-2013 but not on anything newer.
Severe bucking & jerking while driving. More moderate bucking while car is idle. Codes being thrown are P0406 & P0301. It has also thrown a P0402 as well. I've replaced the egr valve as well as all spark plugs and the problem still has not been solved. My fuel mileage is tanking and driving the Jeep has become almost unbearable.
My car will randomly stall out when I slow down or come to a stop while driving. There have been at least 4 times where I've been stopped at a red light and it auto-stops and then doesn't start back up again when the traffic starts moving again. A message comes up on my dashboard telling me to shift to P and then back to my desired gear. I'll try to restart my car 2-3 times before anything happens. I've been on hills and on highways when this has happened and almost gotten into an accident on at least 4 occasions because of it. I've only had this car for a year so 4 'close calls' is a bit much for such a short amount of time.
28000 miles +\- driving car on freeway in high speed lane in las 405 - the most traveled highway in the us, and the car slowed to a dead stop. Complete loss of acceleration. All electrical still working, lights, dash, radio. Would turn over but would not start. Hour earlier car was idling and idled to a stall. All electrical still working.

While in motion, and with two separate god speedometers operating, my Jeep states that when in motion going approximately 50-60 mph, my keeps speedometer places me at over 100mph. This problem occurred a few days ago. I have even passed several chp officers on the road and have not been stopped when my speedometer was showing 105mph. Also, while pumping gas, it will not pump past halfway.
Electronic throttle control warning light appeared on 2 occasions, accompanied by sudden loss of power. One event occured in heavy highway traffic and nearly resulted in a multi-vehicle accident. Estimated speed was 60 mph. The other event occured while entering an intersection after signal light turned green. In both cases the loss of power self corrected after about 10 seconds. The vehicle has approximately 6000 miles on it, and I am the original owner....updated 09/14/17
The car operated well at first start. Early in the day, it drove 30+ miles. After being parked for 6+ hours in a flat public parking lot, it was turned on and put into reverse to back out of the stall. Upon lightly releasing the brake, the car accelerated at a high speed (approx 20mph) and hit a parking pillar. A large amount of damage was done to the back end, including bumper, hatch, safety reinforcement bar and floor board all had to be replaced.
