Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7L Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 93,000 miles

Recently purchased a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland edition at a used dealership with 90,000 miles. I just recently had all 3 recalls done at the local dealership and now I'm noticing a skipping/stuttering/fish biting feeling when I get over 40 mph. Reading thru Jeep forums and I have yet to find a solution to this issue. Does anyone out there had any repairs done that have eliminated this feeling? Thanks

Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles

Purchased a used 2011 Grand Cherokee with 5.7 HEMI and automatic transmission from a JEEP dealer in May 2014. First day noticed a shuttering, stuttering, skipping action of the motor. Returned to JEEP dealership where I was told all 16 spark plugs were changed and that was the problem. Picked up vehicle and started to drive home, same condition was discovered, returned to JEEP dealership, I was informed they would need my vehicle for some diagnostic time, I set up an appointment and left my vehicle with them for a week. Returned to pick up my vehicle and was told everything was OK. On my drive home the same condition existed, I continued home and called the JEEP dealership and informed them it was no better, As of December 1, 2014 the JEEP dealership has had my vehicle in for service a total of 5-1/2 weeks and still can't fix the problem. The latest report is "Chrysler/Jeep is aware of the problem; "it is only the 5.7 engine that does it and it is called FISH BITTING and there is no fix".

I cannot understand how an American Automobile Manufacturer make such a statement about such an expensive automobile. I urge anyone reading this "NOT TO PURCHASE" any Chrysler product especially JEEP. I regret purchasing this vehicle on a daily basis as I am not financially able to get out of it at this time.
