2017 Jeep grand Cherokee, 103k miles. I purchased my car new for around $45,000. All maintenance was done on time. Oil cooler assembly went out, then head gaskets, now I need a new engine. At 103k miles !Jeep has done nothing other than tell me sorry that will be $15,000 to repair. My engine is doing that loud clicking sound everyone is talking about. I-??ve spoken with countless people this has happened to, some as early as 49k miles. There are videos online of mechanics bragging about how much money these engines are making them in repairs. Yet Stellantis still refuses to take responsibility for their 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine issues. Even though there is a current class action against them for it. There are full YouTube videos from mechanics explaining exactly why the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine fails and still Stellantis chooses to take more money from consumers to fix/replace their faulty engine. Now onto functionality of my vehicle, the start/stop engine problems I see people complaining about on here are real. The first thing I did when I got into my car was turn OFF my start/stop system. 20% of the time my system worked properly when left on. The rest of the time it was dangerous. The car would shut off when hitting the breaks and stall. I would be stuck on the freeway having to restart my car. I-??m lucky it never caused an accident but it is terrifying being in the middle of the street and your car just shutting off and engaging the parking break and stuck in neutral. It-??s happened more times than I can count, stop lights were where my car shut off most commonly. Usually would result in cars honking and people screaming to get out of the way while I scramble to get my car to turn back on. Over all, I-??m so disappointed in this company and how it chooses to treat its consumers.. I was forever a Jeep owner until this week.

The component is known to fail on jeep forums weather it fails completely or was not installed properly and may loose its functionality. The event is when towing a trailer and reversing the car will see the trailer as an obstruction and will engage the brakes. The car is alleged to have an automatic system that when towing is supposed to turn the parking assist sensors off to prevent the event occuring. If that system isn't present there is a button that should allow you to turn the parking system off which it does for about two seconds and start backing up the trailer, then it will automatically turn back on and see the trailer and lock the brakes up which is jarring and startling to say the least. I am fairly certain this could cause an accident if it hasn't already.

Issue with transmission/transmission control module. Jeep has a hard time shifting from Reverse, after 3 tries the gear is lost and vehicle must be shut down in order to try again. Once engaged, it'll "BANG" loudly, cause the tires to squeal, and then reverse is granted. Also have an issue going between 3rd and 4th gears. To shift, we have to increase pressure in the transmission, sometimes getting the RPM up to 6k before shifting is allowed. After three unsuccessful attempts, all gears are lost and you have to get down to 33 mph in order to gain 3rd gear back or you have to pull over and restart the vehicle.

Upon acceleration, the dash lights flicker or fully goes out for a few seconds, passenger side window constantly rolls down on its own, sunroof will not close fully if in an open position, car horn becomes very faint. Had car checked & explanation from the professional to all this, is that it could be the fuse box or alternator. Fuse box has been replaced, yet problem is still occurring. Alternator will be next & hopefully it fixes this problem as it is a hazard especially while carrying children in the vehicle.

I was on the highway and the vehicle shut off. On another incident I was driving the vehicle and the power steering wen out on the vehicle. On another incident after the power steering went out the vehicle put a notice on the dash to put the vehicle in park when the vehicle was already in park. I tried to turn the vehicle off and it would not allow me to do so. Then after repaired multiple times the battery started to over charge to 21 voltage. At this point, the vehicle is just not safe to drive.

Jeep serviced for small evap leak. The next day after getting my jeep back from dealer, when I started my grand Cherokee trailhawk, it felt like I had gotten kicked in the rear end. The SERV 4WD light comes on, FCW, stability control, RCW error lights come on. ACC not available. Took jeep to dealer and had PCM cleared as code was coming up as inactive. Was told to drive it as usual and if error lights came back on to get it to dealer asap to get codes. After dealer checked for error codes, codes for transfer case problem popped up. The dealer stated they can-??t tell what-??s wrong until they diagnosis it. Appointment scheduled for diagnosis at end of July as mechanic is on vacation. Asked if jeep was drivable to which I got mixed answers and told to be careful that jeep may slip into 4WD and not drive right. Dealer stated Jeep is aware of problem but no recall at this point and stated they just wished Jeep would recall and fix the problem. The dealer stated they have encountered this issue in jeeps more than any other vehicle.

I came to a stop at a red light. The vehicle engine turned off and then right back on with out me taking my foot off the brake. Once the light turned green I pressed the gas and the entire car shut off. I didn-??t have any lights for hazards, couldn-??t roll down my windows or unlock the doors. It also wouldn-??t go into park so I had to put on the emergency brake.

The rear parking assist break does not turn off, yes it is available for inspection. I had an emergency, I could not reverse out of my parking spot because the emergency break would automatically stop my vehicle, it was sensing there was something behind it. The problem has been confirmed by dealer stated it is an internal failure with the factory radio. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, they say, it's out of warranty so they are not responsible even though this was a defect since the beginning. I mentioned it to the dealer when I took my car for service, when I first purchased it, they said all I had to do was turn off the park assist button, that did not work. This is very concerning, its a safety hazard if I can not go on reverse due to the break automatically stopping my vehicle and impeding me from going on reverse. Jeep and Mopar are ware of this issue. I am not the only person that has complained about this safety hazard/concern. There are countless individuals that have complained about the same issue.

The UConnect touch screen in my vehicle is -??delaminating-?? causing phantom touches to the touch screen. This is an extreme safety hazard due to it causing distractions to the driver when attempting to use the touch screen/radio/etc for its intended purpose. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by Jeep to my knowledge. The component has not been inspected. There were no warning signs.

When ever i move the steering wheel neck the traction control, the windshield wiper will not turn off. The signal lights and the back up line guide line will not work. When i took it to the shop i was told i fuse blow 3 times. And they don't know why. I think this is a defective system. And needs to be recalled asap

There are a ton of posts on Reddit showing a bunch of 3.6l jeep owners all having the same issue with the VVT/VVL Solenoid. It seems to be all the same, the truck starts running very rough and like complete [XXX], CEL starts blinking, and then they check the codes coming up and they all seem to be getting codes p0456, p105d & p0302. The misfire is in cylinder 2 and the VVT Solenoid needs to be replaced at not even 70k miles. The bad solenoid caused the jeep to be undriveable. There are a ton of jeep owners who are all having this same EXACT issue with their jeep and yet this isn-??t a recall"? Jeep obviously made a faulty truck. Please explain HOW THERE ISN-??T A RECALL TO FIX THE VVT/VVL SOLENOID IN THESE JEEPS?" Some people are spending thousands to get it fixed at a dealer, which is seriously messed up bc it-??s one little part and such an easy fix and just getting ripped off. JEEP NEEDS TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS VERY WELL KNOWN ENGINE ISSUE BC THATS ON THEM, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY, NOT THE CONSUMERS who put all their faith into jeep to make a good running truck, only to get [XXX]!!!
