Constant rumble in rear end of vehicle. Dealer has had 5 separate occasions and can't resolve. Feels like rest wheels will fall off. Also, intermittently when turning ignition switch, vehicle won't start. After 2-3 times it will then start. Had a 2005 keep cherokee that did the same unresolved issue.

Hello, my name is [xxx] and I own a 2010 jeep grand cherokee limited 5.7l hemi here in kuwait. I have been working in kuwait supporting the warfighter since 2007. I purchased my nice well maintained jeep in february 2018. I just reached 82,000 miles and on monday september 2 2019 I was on the highway around 60-70mph when all of a sudden I heard a very subtle noise and I looked at my dash to see a check engine light and another light. At that point I had no power and I shifted into neutral. I tried restarting and could hear the starter turning over but it didn't start back up. Once I got to a safe place I tried again and still nothing. It was turning over with no bad sounds and seemed like it was turning over easily. I had the jeep towed to a mechanic where they found 4 cylinders had no compression. They removed the heads to find some valves were visibly bent. When they tried turning the crank by hand they found the cam was not moving. Upon opening the front cover the timing chain had actually failed and was broken. I was very disappointed to say the least. I was hoping to have a nice car for a while and this jeep was in very good shape. I have been researching and found there has been a recall for the same engine in other mopar vehicles and was hoping to get some insight if my jeep like others I have read about would be able to go under that recall for the same problem. I think its something with the tensioner on the recall that ends up wiping out the timing chain. I don't really understand why they only put like 3 vehicles in the recall but if its the same engine why not fix them all. I really like my jeep and hope to get more info of the recall. Respectfully, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

At any random time my 2010 jeep grand cherokee laredo will not start. The battery is new. Lights come on, radio comes on, lights do not dim, but jeep will not start. After a few hours of waiting and trying again it starts up fine. Had it checked , issue couldn't be found. Happened again and was stranded in the snow , more than once. Issue still happens and is happening more frequently. So much so I cannot count on that vehicle.

Sometimes engine experiences no crank/no start. I did google search that its wireless control module fails. There is a recall for newer mode but not for 210 jeep grand cherokee.

When I try to start my car I turn the key and all the lights come on but the car will not start. The battery is new. The starter doesn't engage at all. Also when I try to lock or unlock the car with the key fob I have to press the key fob 10-15 times to get it to work. I brought it to my local dealer multiple times for the same issue and they said there wasn't anything wrong with it.

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.

I purchased the vehicle in early february 2014. Jeep would not start. This had happened 4 times before about 2 or 3 months apart then recently about 3 weeks apart, . This time I had to have it towed. Someone suggested it could be the infamous tipm that is discussed all over the internet. There are the same electrical wiring complaints all over the internet, how can jeep not be responsible for stranding motorists all over for the same repeated problems.
