I have had to replace my thermostat about 6 times since I got the car in 2017. The housing breaks and it leaks causing over heating
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 90, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle has randomly turned off on me twice during moderate to heavy braking. The first time was on 8/20/2019 and the second time was on 12/3/2019. I believe my issue is related to recall v62 and I am voicing my displeasure in the amount of time it is taking fiat chrysler to design a remedy. This recall is actually recalling a prior recall, so I would scrutinize the engineering team that they can actually come up with a sufficient remedy, but I suppose that's not my point. My point is my vehicle and over 500,000 additional vehicles are on the road with a problem that is extremely hazardous with no eta in sight. (recall related incident) ts
Started having a transmission slip in 2nd gear repair shop looked things over and said transmission fluid was a little low and I was leaking transmission fluid due AC condenser going bad. Had it replaced, no more leaking transmission fluid but transmission still acting up now. Was told it was most likely due to the leak and trans fluid getting low. After reading up I guess this is a common issue and should be recalled. Obviously these A/C condenser units are faulty. Now I have a transmission that could have been avoidable if jeep would have let owners know about the AC condenser issue or made that a unit that has to get replaced after so many miles.

Crank won't start when finanly start put in gear dies out. This is done intermintly.. On the street
Two issues with this vehicle. First, at 99,000 the camshaft began to fail due to excessive wear. The vehicle is now burning an excessive amount of oil and fuel. I am told that the engine needs to be replaced, but the dealership and chrysler refuse to repair/replace under warranty. Second, the vehicle constantly stalls while driving. This happens 1-2 times per month, typically when breaking for a stop, or breaking to make a right hand turn. Very dangerous. Dealership was unable to identify the problem, but I see literally hundreds of complaints from people who have the same problem.
I have a 5.7 hemi in my jeep. The vehicle stalls when slowing down, and making a right hand turn off of a highway. This has happened 8 times in the 2 years that I have owned the car. It happened once when I was slowing down for a speed zone on a straight road. The vehicle gives no warning that it is going to shut down. Our local jeep dealer did some diagnostics, but found nothing. From what I have read it seems to happen to the 5.7 engines. I don't like driving the car with anyone in it for fear of getting rear ended if it stalls, and people are behind me.
When I start my jeep it turns over then immediately stalls out . This happens every single time I start my jeep. That is several times a day . I believe it is the tipm. Has been going on for months I called up the jeep dealership and they said there was no recall on it.
Transmission cooler is leaking. No warning, just fluid on the ground - several complaints from other owners online. Oil pressure sensor not working. - no warning, several complaints from other owners on line.

Three instances where two stationary and one in motion full acceleration with out touching the gas pedal. The dealer told me that there was a transmission fluid leak. Caused my transmission oil to burn which lead to a faulty transmission. Pcim was flashed and caused transmission to decelerate at 40mph loosing all function.
The transmission cooler leaks and no way of checking transmission fluid level could cause transmission to fail unexpectedly

Takata recall I just purchased my jeep back in june and can view the service history. This complaint in particular has to do with extended crank. My jeep takes awhile to start. I see that there was a fuel pump relay recall. I see in my service history that my jeep had this part replaced: 02/02/2015 78,423 mi at jt's chrysler jeep dodge fiat.
