Filed Feb 12, 2021 · Electrical, Transmission · 64,300 miles · CA

On 2011-2014 jeep grand cherokee has no battery icon on the cluster displaying whether it's overcharged or low charge. While I was attempting to jump-start the SUV due to a dead battery on the driveway. Another issue is the transmission once the vehicle is shifted from park to drive while parked uphill or downhill it makes a clunking sound while shifting gears.

Ii have had multiple drained/dead battery issues with my 2011 jeep grand cherokee, even after installing a new battery in february of 2020,. I believe the root cause of this problem is associated with a faulty tipm which is addressed via fca recall v-62 (ntsha recall 19v‑813), for which no remedy has been found by the manufacturer. I am now having to call a tow service for the third time since installing the new battery. When is this recall going to be finalized so that the necessary repairs can be made under warranty?

All lights began randomly flashing, wipers went on at varying speeds, power seats were moving, transmission was shifting gears inappropriately. When this started I was about 3 miles from home. The vehicle stalled three times and was harder to start after each stall. Upon arriving home and shutting the engine off, the lights continued to flash until the battery died. Fortunately, I was not on a busy highway when this occurred. This has been happening for thr past week now I called the dealership they keep telling me that are backup for this week. And now today my jeep wont even turn on with a jumper cables, I called the dealership they finally said that they are sending a tow truck to my house.

Vehicle completely stopped on the road without warning indication. Road conditions were dry at 98 degree temperature while on a straight away major highway. No previous battery warning light / charging failure was indicated before the event. The vehicle was just able to get pulled to the side of the road. The vehicle was successfully towed to the nearest jeep authorized dealer 20 miles away. Diagnosed complete alternator failure which drained the battery. The alternator and battery was replaced with new dealership chrysler brand (mopar). When leaving the dealership just 1/2 mile down the road, the battery charging warning light came on. The vehicle made it back to the dealership on battery power. The vehicle was once again diagnosed with a faulty alternator (the new replacement). I was told that they could only replace the alternator with chrysler indicated brand. It is known that jeep grand cherokee 2012-2014 has a recall on the alternators which are same used on 2011. This jeep has now had two replacements with less than 88 k miles on the vehicle. Recommend adding 2011 jeep models to recall list as this is a common problem.
