My car went completely haywire. Windshield wipers going crazy while driving and not being able to stop them. Car alarm is going on and off without cause. Door locks going up and down. Couldn’t start it. Take car to a mechanic he can’t find any reason for it to be doing so. Take it to the dealer and it’s showing no codes as to why my car would be suddenly undriveable. Photos do not do it Justice as the exterior looks normal. I have several videos of the incidents should anyone want to get in touch with me to see them

Cold started the 2011 jeep grand cherokee limited, was in park and all the dash lights came on. It appears to be another #3 misfire, all dash lights came on, & had loss of power. Engine light blinking, check oil, low battery light, service the 4x4, and wipers all came on at once, remained on. I had the same issue in summer of 2019, then it was a #3 misfire. This time, again, the code was a #3 misfire! The summer of 2019 I had the garage replace the faulty 3 coil packs along with a new alternator which was damaged because of the bad coil packs, which fixed the issue for approximately 1 and 1/2 years. Then the issue resurfaced on christmas 2020, same problem.

Vehicle is making a popping noise, when turning or hitting bump replaced sway bar end links and tie rod-unable to locate exact problem at this time. I was driving today and without warning my front wipers turned on and could not be turned off, on inspecting further all components on the starting wheel and column are not operatable-no signals, cruise, headlights, stereo-nothing. Vehicle acts like its stuck in 4x4-making other noise while turning also having issue with dash board bubbling-possible safety concern as it may interfere with air bag deployment. I have contacted jeep with all the above concerns, to which they state they cannot help with the problems vehicle has 103k miles. I am 3rd owner. *tt 'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

The rear window glass in the lift-gate exploded into thousands of shattered fragments, without cause or warning in my non-moving vehicle. This is the second time this has happened within the last three years. It appears to be a design defect that is insafe to the driver and others. The vehicle was stationary in a parking area and I was inside it with my family on the most recent occasion. The prior event iccurred with my husband standing outside the vehicle, as he closed the lift-gate. I previously owned a 2000 jeep grand cherokee for 11 years, and there were no problems with the old design of the rear window glass. The 2011 design has the rear wiper and motor directly mounted onto the glass, which may be the problem. I suffered glass cuts and glass debris into one eye.

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.

Starter engages, but will not start wipers work without being turned on . Battery depleted for no reason. Engine quits for no apparent reason. This all happened while vehicle was stationary,but just as easily been while moving.

I'm actually sitting in a parking lot waiting for the tow truck. The jeeps alternator began whining & the battery light came on.I pulled over and turned off the jeep. It wouldn't restart. Has zero power. The battery was replaced in february & the alternator checked out fine. The window evidentally let itself down about a week ago. This was srrange. Wipers started by themself when I tried to jumpstart it. I've read various complaints that mirror my symptoms. It will be towed to frensley jeep-chrysler tonight. Please include my vehicle in the recall. I'm sure it's going to be expensive. Thanks for your cinsuderstuon.
