In 2019 my engine light went on with code p0520 - oil pressure sensor. I replaced the oil pressure sensor and the engine light came back on a month later with the same code p0520, so I replaced the oil pressure sensor for a second time. Less than a month later I began getting a generic code p06dd. I have sense replaced the oil pressure sensor a 3rd time along with the oil filter housing and oil pump. It was fine for about a week but then code p0520 - oil pressure sensor returned. There issue is not mechanical and no one has been mechanical as all of the parts associated with the code have been replaced repeatedly. Nobody is able to resolve it and I cannot pass inspection until they do.
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine complaints
Page 4 of 11: complaints 71 to 100 of 302, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The engine stalled completely while I was at a traffic signal, preparing to make a turn onto a busy highway. Loss of power to brakes & steering since the engine completely shut down. I shifted the vehicle into park, started the engine again, shifted into drive but the vehicle would not move. Eventually (in a matter of seconds) the vehicle lunged forward and I was able to safely drive home.

This is my third time experiencing this system failure. Each time while driving and the vehicle in motion, the truck shuts off. Each time this has almost caused an accident as I was turning onto a street. The first time it shut off in the middle of driving was as I easy slowing down to stop at a red light and lost all controls as the vehicle died. I did not accidentally touch anything. This is extremely dangerous and something needs to be done bout it asap. It turns off unwarranted while driving. I have to put the vehicle in park and press the start button to turn the vehicle back on. I do not know what part is causing this problem. It happens out of nowhere occasionally and not everyday either.
The jeep has stalled several times. It has happened more than a few times. Usually happens when coming to a stop at light/stop sign. However the scariest time was when the engine unexpectedly turned off while driving about 45-50 MPH on street. Wife able to bring the jeep to a complete stop and restart. Took to dealership and were told chrysler is aware of issue. There is going to be a recall as soon they have a fix.
Vehicle has no diagnostic codes showing up but has stalled on us several times almost causing accident twice now. Also pulsates at speeds around 45 and again at 60mph. Since the last stall it now has a very rough idle. We have called dealership about recall and they state yes there is one but they do not have a fix. Are we supposed to just keep driving with these safety issues ? Vehicle will stall while after driving coming to a stop at light. We lose steering ability and braking. We are usually going straight and on city street or coming off freeway

Engine stalled while in motion on us highway 101 on 11/7/19; fortunately no crash occurred. We took into mechanic at jeep santa maria; they had it all week from 11/8/19 to 11/15/19 and said it was fine. It appears this was caused by a faulty part that was installed pursuant to a previous recall that fca has been investigating since 2018. We are anxious to have this open the federal safety agency campaign number:19v813000 resolved asap.
The engine unexpectedly stops running when slowing to a stop. Started a few months ago but now is happening almost daily. The vehicle is dangerous at this point as there have been a few close calls in traffic when this happens. The dealer says jeep is working on it but there is no solution. It's been months with "no solution". This is dangerous! There's going to be an accident. Surely jeep can come up with something to resolve this before someone dies.
My grand cherokee has stalled several dozen times over the past few years and the dealer can't fix it. The car stalls when slowing to a stop or turning through an intersection but we can't duplicate the problem at the service center. The dealer kept the car for nearly a month trying to duplicate the problem but could not, but I have kept records over the past year of all stalls and the conditions and the only condition that remains constant is that I am quickly braking from 40 MPH or faster or I am braking while turning. Initially it only occurred while turning left, but now it occurs while turning right and while braking quickly while going straight. I have been in several near misses due to losing power steering and brakes and I am to the point to where I can't allow anyone but me to drive the car due to the safety factor. Twice I almost hit a car while turning and once a big rig almost hit me in the side as the car stalled mid-intersection of a six lane highway. The car is still under chrysler's warranty, and as noted, the dealer has tried to fix the problem, but has failed time after time. The problem has occurred dozens of times but the latest time was today, at which point I decided to submit this complaint. Although I can't duplicate the problem on demand, there are 3locations where it most often occurs, and it most often occurs in the morning. The first location is about 2.5 miles from my house, and the other two are 5 miles each from my house. Two of the three locations are at intersections with red lights, while the third is simply the location of where I work where it has stalled multiple times while just turning into the driveway. It also has stalled several times while coming home or just driving around or on vacation. Dealer has replaced fuel pump relay, wiring, and some emission control parts.

Altanater caught on fire while driving resulting in damages
Chrysler made a recall on the fuel pump relay on nov 14, 2019. On nov 18, 2019 my vehicle completely stopped in the middle of the street and did so numerous time during the week. Luckily, I was never on the highway went it happened. I called chrysler they informed me it was one of the vehicles in the recall, however they did not have a solution at the moment and I had to wait until jan 2020. I could not drive a vehicle in that condition, so I took it to my mechanic. I called chrysler to inform them of this and they said to just submit the proof of the service. However, when I did submit the proof they declined it stating chrysler had not updated the recall and there were no parts. I should get reimbursed for the recall.

The 2012 jeep grand cherokee overland I purchased two years ago has started to completely stall while driving causing the power steering to not function as well as the brakes. This engine power turns off randomly at around 10-15 MPH (when making turns, stopping and/or accelerating) but there are no warning lights that appear on the dash. All electrical power to the car still functions and the engine stall is not noticeable until applying pressure to the brakes or trying to steer the wheels. The first incident was (easter) 28 april 2019. The car shut off around 10 miles per hour as I made a left turn crossing the incoming lane into a parking lot. Luckily there was no car coming or a serious accident would have resulted. The frequency of these types of stalls have become greater. They are happening at least once a week without any type of warning. The most recent incident was november 7th 2019. This vehicle was released from the dealership on november 1st, 2019. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership multiple times to find the problem as well as maintenance. Nothing has been found that would cause this. The dealership says the vehicle is perfectly fine. As simple test drive will not be able to find the problem.this is the same concern as fca recall t59 and the federal safety agency recall # 17v‑572.
When I press the push start and the brake, the engine will stall and not turn over. It has happened multiple times in the 4 years I've had it. The last time I tried to start it, it would not crank. I used jumper cables to try and revive the battery. Doing this reverted power back to my vehicle, yet it would still not turn over. I then had to put the keyfob into the ignition and try it manually. Still nothing worked and my car will not turn over and start. It makes one click, and then nothing.

I was pulling into a parking spot and transitioning the vehicle to park when the vehicle accelerated. I had my foot pressed firmly on the brake but it did not stop and it went up and over a parking barrier into another parked vehicle.
