Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Ever since the FCA ecodiesel exhaust emissions update, my vehicle has had terrible turbo-lag. When you step on the accelerator, especially after a cold start it can take up to 4 seconds to actually move forward. I already reported this once before, but this vehicle is a serious hazard. Trying to cross any type of traffic is dangerous. It also has anywhere from 3-4mpg drop since the update.”
NHTSA complaint #11246470, filed 2019-08, 64,000 miles“I have been having trouble putting fuel in my car since I bought it. I was told that this was just a problem with Jeep Grand Cherokee xj. Because it is difficult to fuel up, twice I have sprayed fuel all over myself and once I had the rents myself with water. My warning light is a now on . Now the capless fuel cap assembly came off while I was feeling. This is very dangerous. I don't know if I can feel up anymore making the car useless until repaired”
NHTSA complaint #11400243, filed 2021-03, 87,000 miles“After the FCA eco diesel settlement recall the throttle on my Grand Cherokee deisel has severe lag until the car has been driven for several miles. It does not matter if you let the car warm up or not. It is so bad that you cannot trust it to pull out into traffic for fear the throttle will not engage even with adequate space for entering traffic. I have almost been hit several times trying to enter traffic due to this lag.”
NHTSA complaint #11240730, filed 2019-07, 40,000 miles“My vehicle began to stall while cranking them it shut off and stop working after my fuel tank was below half a tank it left me stranded. I check the fuel pump fuse there was no power getting to the fuel the meter test revealed no power. The I saw the recalls on 2011, 2012,, 2013 jeeps and doges for tipm. The dealership said it is the fuel pump in such a young vehicle. This is dangerous for others had their Jeep shut off or stop working while in traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #11241100, filed 2019-08, 159,000 miles“When first starting the car it would stumble & stall & stop. After a number of starts it would keep running if I kept my foot on the gas pedal. Finally it was running so it could be driven home, but at times it would stumble & stall, at at time almost no acceleration. I had to keep 1 foot on the gas pedal to keep the car running. The car was taken to a repair shop, where it remains. The trouble was diagnosed a fuel pump failure. Previous model jeeps have had the same problem and were recalled”
