ENGINE

While driving the engine power randomly cuts off & steering & brakes lock up veering the vehicle to the left which causes me to have no control of my vehicle. Everything else stays on radio...lights...etc. There is absolutely no warning at all when this occurs. This has happened to me 3 times while driving almost causing me to crash. I brought it to a local Jeep dealer & they couldn't find any codes showing what the issue was. So in fear of getting into a crash that could possibly injure myself or others on the road I haven't been able to drive it safely.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My car apparently overheated which made my oil filter melt and explode, popping my oil filter cap off making oil go all over my engine, ground and everywhere else. I was going about 20 mph when I realized my car was feeling weak on power and it was about to overheat. I then started to smell and see smoke. So I stopped my car in the middle of the street immediately, put on my hazard lights, and turned it off instantly. As soon as I got out, oil started to pour out everywhere. I then popped the hood to see a whole lot of smoke going everywhere. I wasn’t sure what happened, I just got the car 3 and half months ago, they said the car was top of the line, why am I having issues like these now? I did get my oil changed from pit stop (superlube) on lake street in Aurora Illinois, 3 days before that happened. I had to manually push my car to chihuahua tires, where they told me it was my starter, so they fixed my starter, and then told me it’s my gasket. Now apparently my head gasket is gone, and it’s going to take thousands of dollars that I don’t have. I’m already paying off the $800 for this starter repair that I didn’t really need :/ and I’m still playing for a car note on a car I’m not even driving! I can’t get to work, I can’t make money, this is depressing! I got this car because they said at Carfect that my jeep was perfect and in great condition. At this point I had over 10+ mechanical issues wrong with it, now this happened and I cant manage this. This is too much money for me. I need help, direction, a new engine, something! I just got this car! I did nothing wrong, I don’t have thousands of dollars to fix this issue! Please help.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI. As traveling whether on highway or on streets no matter the speeds the Jeep tends to just stall out out of no where especially when braking and coming to a stop it completely shuts off, no engine, no steering and then must have to engage into park or neutral to push to start up the Jeep again. It is very dangerous and scary any time it happens and even more so when happens on highway. It has been an on going issue since I bought the vehicle in NOV. 2018 but only happens every once in a while and out of the blue when it does. I did reached out several years ago to the manufacturer Mopar Jeep Chrysler but they had no solution for me. I had a case number with them but it was so long ago I cannot remember now. I did have the recall on the fuel pump relay in which I thought that would resolve my issue but unfortunately it did not and I still experience this Jeep stalling out at any point while driving, onto braking, and then to the stop. Any help? Thanks

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start as intended. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle was towed to another local independent mechanic for a second opinion. The mechanic diagnosed that the fuel pump had experienced a short circuit, and the 150 AMP Mega fuse needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving approximately 59 MPH with cruise control activated, the vehicle decelerated unintendedly. The contact shifted to neutral(N), but the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed back to the independent mechanic, where it remained for further diagnostic testing. An unknown local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The Carfax confirms that Landers McLarty Huntsville: Took possession of the vehicle on September 12, 2024, with 112,179 miles on it. Then recorded a sale to you on [XXX], showing 96,792 miles — a 15,387-mile rollback. That “Mileage Inconsistency” warning on Carfax is not just a clerical error. It shows the vehicle’s official odometer history was manipulated or misreported — and Landers McLarty is directly involved. My finance guy was Travis Christensen. In 2 attempts to resolve the issue, the first time I went in person, (6/10) he said “I will call back Wednesday when Deonte Sutton gets here”. Fine, I waited all day Wednesday, and there was no callback. In attempt to call them, I received no answer. I called today, (6/23), in attempt for updates on the situation. It felt as if he blew me off, saying “Yea me and Deonte have been trying to figure it out. I will call you later.” I called back 2 hours later, and no answer, it didn’t fully ring so I was sent to voice mail as if he declined the call.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

One of the recalls for this vehicle is for "2011-2013 wk wd fuel pump relay". The car stalled on the road but I was able to bring it home and apply a temporary fix by connecting the Pump fuse with the Cigarette lighter fuse (per some online instructions). The car runs now, but it's not a permanent fix. I called a Dealer (Everett, WA) and scheduled an appointment (it was two weeks ago). Today during my appointment I was sent back home saying they don't have the part and I'll need to come back in a couple of weeks, just for the inspection! Complete incompetence. I called another place (Kirkland, WA) and was also told that they are ordering the part now but will need to wait from few to several weeks. If this recall makes my car unsafe to drive (stall happened on the road, my solution is not perfect) why are the dealerships/Jeep not taking the repair seriously?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

While driving at normal speeds the engine and everything turns off without any warning. This makes it difficult to get off the road or highway due to loss of power to steering. This happens randomly but with increasing frequency. The vehicle has been at the Jeep dealership since 12 June 2025 and I'm being told they cannot figure it out. Allegedly the dealership service center is contacting Jeep after I had to tell them to do so. Vehicle is at Crown Dodge, 6300 King Rd, Ventura, CA 93033 805-977-6526.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I have had to fix several issues since purchasing the vehicle. Most recently the oil filter house and the radiator. I am now having issues with the gas sensor. From what was explained to me, the sensor is not registering the amount of fuel in the tank and therefore believes there is low gas in the car. The check engine light turns off and on and the car begins to shake uncontrollably and it almost feels like it will shut off.
