Estaba manejando a 35 millas y de repentes la jeep comenzó a perder fuerza y se apagó, tuve que durar como 30 minutos para que pudiera prender, porque cuando la encendía temblaba y los frenos frenos y el guía se ponían duro.
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 102, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After getting my car back from big o doge in Greenville sc I was on my way to work and stopped at a redlight when the light turned green my car just sat there and didn’t move I pressed the gas but nothing it just revved up like it was in neutral pressed the gas to the floor nothing all of a sudden it was like it jumped and took off…also did the same thing at a stop sign up hill and I had a car coming in the other lane as I was crossing the lane to get into the correct one….I had open recalls and set up for it to be checked when I arrived at the delarship they told me my recalls were closed. My car was not checked or repaired at the time how can you just cancel a recall/campaign after notification and claim parts aren’t available but the car was never fixed? I called the delarship paid 400 for 2 diagnostics and they didn’t put my trans cap back on so now they’ve basically ruined my car and didn’t fix NOTHING
My 2012 jeep SRT8 will be driving n jerking and feels unsafe think gotta be a n23 transfer case or final drive ordeal they have with different year not my year but should be and I don't feel safe at all n I paid a lot of money for this premium vehicle and getting run around and serv 4wd and traction control off n fcw off pops up after few minutes all at same time got transfer case control module coming in mail hopefully it works but if not it's gotta b update or flash transmission update but it'll literally be surging and when slowing down it'll fell like it's getting shift in wrong gear it's crazy
My transmission keeps clunking
Vehicle stalled without warning. No power whatsoever. Illuminated battery light came on. Noticed a burning odor coming from vehicle. Checked engine bay and noticed heavy smoke coming from alternator for a good 10 minutes. Vehicle would not take a jump nor could I put into gear. Battery is completely dead. PCM also seems to be fried. Will have to be towed to Dealership. Called Jeep costumer care and referenced the t36 recall but my vin does not fall under it even though vehicle fits EXACT description of recall. Also noticed that many others are have same problem with Jeep and them not expanding the recall to their vin. How terrible!! This could have easily been a fatal situation. Jeep needs to take some responsibility and action!
Since owning this vehicle (2013), it periodically stalls while driving. There is no warning and most times I am on a highway or getting off an exit. When this happens, I have no power steering ability. I have been lucky so far and I have not caused a serious accident when these episodes have occurred. My wife refused to ride or to drive the Jeep because of this problem. I see online that other Jeep owners have experienced the same problem. I have taken it to a Jeep dealer for service since 2013 and they are never able to diagnose the root cause of this problem. This problem seems to be happening more often - I fear for my life and those around me due to this sporadic problem. Please hold Jeep responsible for getting to the root of this issue with these vehicles.
I have an on going issue with the vehicle stalling while slowing down for intersections, roundabouts and exit ramps. This has been happening since 2018. The vehicle traveling around 35-25 decelerating, the RPMs will just drop to zero and the engine will shut off. No warning lights, codes or indication I have lost power. Latest incident was on 1/14/22 in Mukwonago, WI after have only driven the vehicle for about 10 minutes. Coming from a 55 zone donw to a stop at an intersection the vehicle stalled with no warning around 30-25 MPH. 1/16/22 I was entering a roundabout and saw the RPMs dropping below idle to zero and was able to stop the stall by shifting the transmission into neutral. RPMs immediately went back to idle.
Symptoms are identical to recall W47, Where loss of engagement between transmission and the differential inside PTU (Power Transfer Unit)
My car began shuddering, the deal of driving a boat almost, feeling like the transmission is in a lower gear but not as rough. The dealer preformed recall repair fsa 14m02tsb 16-0129 today in denton. I drove home the 35 mi. And, although improved still felt the same. My boyfriend researched other bulletins and recalls. Then jacked the car up and saw a leak relating to 14m01tsb. I called but was told since I have 127798 mi and it has been more than 10 hrs, this no longer applies. There was no warning or coded related to these issues and I feel that these 2 issues are related to each other and 1401tsb should be extended to accommodate customers who have this issue but weren't aware as diagnostics do not show there is a problem and the leak is not severe enough to notice driveway spots. The only code of my car is an oxygen sensor code that showed up after the dealer repair today. I have seen many people who has this exact same issue therefore it is an ongoing problem that jeep manufacturers are fully aware of. I request that the previous 14m01 be extended to cover all parts, repairs and labor related to this issues for these vehicle owners. I am just outside the coverage of this bulletin and had my boyfriend not jacked up the vehicle and checked himself after researching the bulletins, we would still be unaware of the actual problem. I, and other owners need the problems address in bulletin 14m01 remedied by warranty extension or other satisfactory means to cover a problem that the manufacturer is fully aware of.
When in motion (has happened multiple times on the highway) the engine will stall and the engine cuts off randomly while driving. No error codes or warnings come on, power steering and power brakes no longer function either but the radio stays on. Dealer has replaced the fuel pump relay twice but its not fixed. Because the computer doesn't recognize an error the dealer has said they can't diagnose it as an issue. But jeep forums widely show that many people are still having this issue..
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the contact felt the rear end of the vehicle suddenly lowered without warning. As the vehicle lowered, the vehicle began to stall as he depressed the accelerator pedal. The contact pulled over and saw that part of the sub frame was detached from the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the drive shaft had detached from the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
While travelling on the interstate at approx 70 MPH, the vehicle lost torque and lost ability to accelerate and had a loud knocking noise while hitting gas pedal. Vehicle is only 80,100 of 100,000/5 year powertrain warranty. Dealer would not warranty this powertrain issue even though the VIN has multiple earlier powertrain warranty items completed. Dealer diagnosed as front transfer case internally failed, and front drive shaft has failed. My independent mechanic indicated this failure is common and may also require a front differential replacement. The dealer initially diagnosed as front differential failure but determined it to be the transfer case. Parts are not readily available due to this being a common failure (4+ weeks for parts). A font drive shaft and transfer case failures are very dangerous and can cause the vehicle to crash.
4x4 activate always in city street. Seat both front vinil broke, fluid water on the roof back when rainin . Sistem hidraulic dont lower the jeep. Dificult to starter.
A fuel pump relay failure result in a no-start condition.
In a pull forward park spot, shifted to reverse to back out. Car lurched backward very fast. Crossed the road, stopped by a 4' x 6' post set in the ground. The collision broke the post and cracked my car's rear bumper. I put my foot on the brake, but it could not control the speed. Thankfully, no people were in the road. No injuries. This was pin a commercial farm, where people can harvest the fruits and vegetables. The road is blacktop. My car left skid marks across the width of the road. It was a frightening event for me and my friend. I called my car dealer later to ask if there had been any incidents like this...shifting into reverse and the car zipped off- out of control. Tech said ' no'.

Just recently bought the car with 50,000 miles on it car is in good condition but only a month after I purchased it a light saying ' service 4wd' has popped up on my dash and ive taken it to several dealers and they say its needs a new transfer case and is a common problem with these cars. If it is a common problem then why has there not been a recall on it, it is pretty ridiculous as much as people pay for a car and the problems that go wrong with it and the manufacturer cant even fix there own problems on the cars that built! There should be a recall for this problem as it is not a cheap fix and is obviously a problem with the manufacturing when the car was built. I am disgusted with how [xxx] and unreliable cars are now a days, something needs to be done! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2012 grand cherokee v6. Transmission randomly slips to neutral while still in drive without warning. Mostly while stopped for light or sign. Shifting to neutral and back to get it into drive again. No signs of shifting, sounds, lurching, bumps or grinding. Smooth as can be, only way I can tell is the car accelerates. Repair shop cannot find a problem.
My jeep has been going into first gear on its on while in motion without me doing anything. It has been occurring for the last 2 years but is now happening with more frequency. It has usually happened after having been stopped at a stop sign or red light and after getting back into motion and up to speed but it has happened while driving without having recently stopped. I am usually in traffic and unable to pull over so I have been having to put it in neutral and then back into drive while in motion.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 35 MPH, the transmission unintentionally switched into neutral. The contact mentioned that the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated that she moved the gear shifter into neutral and back into drive. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
When driving on the interstate at normal speed, the vehicle jumped out of gear and into neutral while in the passing lane. With no power I almost had a car rear end me before I could put on my flashers and pull over. When I pulled over and restarted the vehicle, it acted normal for a while. Before arriving home the vehicle did the same thing again. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and was told that the transmission oil cooler had started leaking and the vehicle was low in transmission fluid. However, with this vehicle there is no way to check the transmission fluid level and there was not a lot of fluid leakage found where car is normally parked. This needs to be recalled before someone gets injured!
At various times, when car is cranked and put into drive, the automatic transmission gets stuck in gear and gears do not change automatically. Very little power when trying to drive from being stopped. However when car is turned off and cranked back up it sometimes resets the issue electronically.
Having issues with gear shifting and the major complaint is the vehicle completely shuts down without warning and I have had vehicle in multiple times for the same issue and no answers. This happens as vehicle is moving and you have to pull over with no power no steering nothing. Scary deal. This has been going on for years
Transmission cooler/condenser leak causes loss of tranmission fluid but you can't check the fluid level because there is a tamper proof cap on the transmission fluid level dip stick. Transmission got hot, truck slipped gears and loss of forward momentum control. This should be a recalled item but is not.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that there was a leak in the transmission cooler and an unknown warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to teterboro chrysler jeep dodge ram (located at 469 us-46, little ferry, nj 07643) where it was determined that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 59534039. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
Transmission fluid leak coming from A/C condenser/transmission cooler. Significant leakage leading to poor transmission performance such as slippage and vehicle jerking on acceleration or deceleration. Also jerks when putting into gear from park.
I have less than 76k miles on my jeep. I have been the only owner, taking exceptional care of my jeep, always getting oil changes on time and maintenance with very few city miles on my jeep and I am having to pay 10k for a new motor and camshaft.
