I was driving down the road and all of a sudden all the lights on the dash lit up and then the vehicle completely shut down, with no power. This happened while I was driving, so thank god it happen late when there was no traffic. I immediately smelled electrical burning and there was absolutely no power to the vehicle. I had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. The dealership determined that the alternator burned up and damaged the battery. This exact issue is recall t36 but jeep states that that recall does not apply to my vehicle because I have a 220amp alternator. Obviously, if my vehicle experienced the exact same symptom that the t36 recall is for, the 220amp alternator is also affected. The initial repair cost me $1500. A month later I had to have another repair for $3000, due to electrical issues, where the parking assist and blind spot assist modules went out, along with a headlamp motor assembly. It has been 3 months since that repair and now I have more electrical issues. The check engine light has come on again and I get a service 4wd system, the heat is intermittent, and my temp gauge doesn't move. I have been emailing back and forth with jeep customer care but they just keep saying that the t36 alternator issue doesn't apply to my vehicle.

My car is keep acting in very weird way,, but last time make me very very fear to drive it. And I face this situation many time this year, the problem is appears few times and I send it for fixing but still no one found the exact reason of the problem, still I am facing this problem every around 3 weeks. I am so terrified to drive my jeep. I love it so much & have it for 4 years but this year I start to have a very serious issues with my car. The problem is: 1) when I am driving in the high way suddenly my car switched off and on again without any reason.( this happens many times) 2) my seat is going forward and back word suddenly ( happens twice) 3) the 2 sided mirrors on the right and left closing ad opening suddenly when I am driving. ( happens 3 times) 4) the light at night closing or become very low for few minutes while driving.(happens twice). Those problems comes and disappears suddenly and when I send my car for fixing they mention another issues which I always pay for it.. But I have only those problems that appears repeatedly and suddenly. Please note this happens only while driving. Please please advice me.

While slowing down to make sharp turns the vehicle will spontaneously shut off causing the power steering and breaking to not work. There are no error codes that come up and the radio and air/heat continue to work. The only reason you know the car shut off is because the breaks and power steering won't work. This has happened multiple times but you can never recreate the problem on cue. It just happens randomly without warning. This has happened both coming off the highway ramp around a turn and on a normal back road street going around a turn. The last time this happened was 11-13-2019

I have had multiple lights pop up on my dash, usually after it rains, but once for no reason. I will be driving anywhere from 20-65mph and the lights will just pop up. (ABS, brake, and traction control lights) once I turn my jeep off and back on, it disappears. But when the lights are shown, my jeep drives a little differently.

Electrical stability control does not work properly it sways from and rear. Mainly when it rains. Electrical system a problem between signal lights and the radio, when the signals are use the radio goes off??? Lift suspension system operate by itself, up and down on his own, and that problem prevents for the SUV to be aligned; also there is a shaking on steering wheel when above 55mph. I don?t know if this unit was taken for service on any other subject like; air bags, steering components, front suspension or any other campaign of recalls. I?m the third owner and have to find out the hard way. Sincerely [xxx] USA. Retired information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

Grand cherokee recall jeep failed to make us aware of an alternator recall. My husband broke down on the side of the road (nearly killed mind you.) we had our car towed to our mechanic. Mechanic fixed the vehicle, and mentioned to us that the part had actually been recalled, again this was the first that we were made aware of this. We contacted jeep and put in a claim. Jeep, five months later, told us that we are only eligible for half of what we spent on the repair, because our mechanic was only 1.6 miles away from a jeep dealer. Why would I go to a jeep dealer to pay a premium not knowing the issue was actually because jeeps neglect to inform us of the recall? Half the reimbursement, does not even cover the cost for the tow.

While in motion at any rate of speed, vehicle will loose power to accelerate (all internal electronics are still active, however, the vehicle stalls). This has happened multiple times resulting in near crashes due to inability to accelerate to pull over. Fuel pump replaced recently in 2018, including a transmission fluid change. Multiple codes are being thrown which are broad spectrum and unable to be determined. I own this vehicle and require it for work transportation, including the transportation of children. I am terrified that it will happen again and I cannot get over in time to avoid being rear ended or worse. The date selected below is the first time this incident has occurred and continues to happen more than twice a week
