2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee

THE ENGINE (5.7 HEMI) SHUTS OFF SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. ITS HAPPENS 3 TIMES EACH TIME AFTER FULLY FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF (NO STUTTERING) WHILE DRIVING JUST HALF MILE (CITY DRIVING) FROM THE LAST FILL UP. THE ENGINE WILL START RIGHT UP ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A STOP AND DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL FILL UP.

I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2011. THERE IS ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. I REPLACED THE AC CONTROL MODULE 3 TIMES, REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR SENSOR THAT WAS DEFECTIVE, REPLACED THE TIPM KIT, ETC. ON FRIDAY, JULY 29 THE CAR BROKE DOWN AND I WAS TOLD THE 8TH CYLINDER STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER IN PLACENTIA FOR REPAIRS. I PAID $2400. ON AUGUST 5TH I WAS TOLD I COULD PICK UP THE CAR AND THE MECHANIC CAME AND SHOWED ME HOW THE CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND ALONG WITH THE MANAGER AND TWO OTHER TECHNICIANS ASSURED ME THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AGAIN FOR YEARS TO COME. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I CALLED AND TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR STILL DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT, I WAS TOLD TO GIVE IT TIME. ON AUGUST 5TH I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR'S DASHBOARD'S LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL BLOCKED AND THE CAR SLOWLY STOPPED. I COULD NOT START THE CAR AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE TO BRING THE CAR ALMOST TO THE WALL AND TOTALLY FELT THAT MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TOWING DRIVER WHEN HE REACHED UNDER THE CAR TO HOOK IT UP PULED THE GLOVE AND SHOWED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL IS ALL OVER THE ENGINE. AT THE JEEP DEALER I WAS GIVEN ME A RENTAL AND TOOK THE CAR IN. TO THIS DAY, I AM STILL DRIVING THE RENTAL, I HAVE NO ANSWER ABOUT THE CAR AND EVEN THOUGH THEY WILL BE FIXING IT, I WILL NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THAT VEHICLE. WHAT DO I DO? THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH AROUND A CURVE, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,961.

WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH THE VALVE STEM EXPLODED. THE TIRE LOST ALL OF ITS AIR WITHIN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THE ALUMINIUM NUT ON THE OUTSIDE THAT HOLDS THE VALVE STEM AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR ONTO THE WHEEL HAD BROKEN APART. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE OTHER VALVE STEMS I FOUND THAT 2 OF THE REMAINING THREE WERE ALSO PLAGUED WITH CRACKED NUTS.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESS WAY AT A STEADY SPEED OF 70 MPH, WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MOVED SUDDENLY AWAY FROM THE FOOT AND STAYED IN THE FULL GAS POSITION ACCELERATING THE CAR TO WELL OVER 80 MPH. ATTEMPTS TO RETURN THE PEDAL TO A SAFE POSITION FAILED. THERE WAS NO FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE OF ANY KIND AND CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ACTIVE THAT DAY BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE TRUCK TRAFFIC. ONLY EXTRAORDINARY BRAKING SLOWED THE CAR TO ALLOW SQUEEZING BETWEEN TRUCKS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND EVENTUALLY COMING TO A STOP ON THE FREE WAY SHOULDER. AFTER LETTING THINGS COOL DOWN FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THINGS APPEARED TO HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE TRIP HOME COULD BE COMPLETED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN SUBSEQUENTLY UNTIL A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THE EVENT. NOTHING WAS FOUND EXCEPT THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER DISPLAYS THE CODE INDICATING THAT BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE SYSTEMS WERE ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME.- AT THE MOMENT WE ARE AT OUR SECOND DEALERSHIP AND ARE UNDER ADVISEMENT FROM CHRYSLER TO CONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION. HOWEVER NOTHING DIFFERENT HAS BEEN DETERMINED SO FAR. WE ARE UNWILLING TO USE THE CAR DUE TO THE IMMINENT THREAT OF A RECURRENCE OF THE UNKNOWN PHENOMENON.

SEPT 26, 2015 DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL, MY JEEP JUST DIED. WOULD NOT START OR TURN OVER THE ENGINE LIGHT OIL LIGHT AND ECT LIGHT CAME ON. TURNS OUT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE DAMAGED INTAKE VALVE ON #2 CYLINDER AND EXHAUST VALVE ON #8 CYLINDER. HAD THE HEADS INSPECTED VALVES AND TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. AND NEW SPARK PLUGS, IT HAD 100565 MILES ON IT. PICKED IT UP FROM THE SHOP ON NOV 13, 2015 RAN PERFECTLY NO VIBRATIONS SPARK KNOCK SMOOTH.. NOT EVEN 200 MILES ON IT AND THE SAME THING DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH IN ECO MODE AND IT JUST DIED. THE ENGINE LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ECT LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULD IT WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP.. THE SAME THING TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND TWO CYLINDERS HAVE NO COMPRESSION. THE SHOP CALLED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIMING CHAIN AND THEY ARE PUZZLED AS WELL ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING SO SOON AFTER BEING REPAIRED. SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE IS CAUSING EXTREME HARMONICS AND/OR VIBRATION INSIDE THE ENGINE AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND GUIDE. HOWEVER, NEW PARTS SIMPLY DON'T BREAK LIKE THIS IF EVERYTHING IS COPACETIC UNDER THE HOOD.
