2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee: engine overheating

Filed Nov 10, 2025 · Electrical, Engine · NY

- The core component that failed is the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The failure was initiated by a fault in the external fuel pump relay (V62 Safety Recall remedy part), which caused improper power delivery. This improper power delivery subsequently damaged the fuel pump motor, requiring replacement of both components. This failure has cascaded, also disabling the circuits for the Engine Cooling Fan (Codes P0480/P0693) and Exterior Lighting (Headlights/B1630), and the Horn. I am in possession of the burnt-out fuel pump relay/fuse component. -The engine stalled while the vehicle was operating, the exact hazard the V62 recall was meant to prevent. This was followed by a catastrophic TIPM breakdown, creating new, simultaneous safety risks: Overheating/Fire Risk: The Cooling Fan circuit failed (P0480/P0693), causing severe engine overheating. No Headlights: The Headlights failed (B1630), causing total loss of visibility at night. No Horn: The Horn failed, eliminating the ability to warn other drivers. - Yes. The initial engine stall and subsequent no-start condition (due to a blown relay fuse) were confirmed by an independent service center (Monro). The cascading failures (overheating, horn, lights) and the diagnostic codes (P0480, P0693, B1630, C2201-00) were confirmed on 11/1. - The vehicle was inspected by an independent service center (Monro), who returned the failed recall component to me (relay). Recommend it go to a certified jeep dealership. It is waiting to be towed there. -The first warning was a history of intermittent starting difficulty. On 10/23, the engine stalled while operating and immediately resulted in a no-start condition. The Check Engine Light illuminated after the subsequent failed restart attempts.

Two years ago I replaced my thermostat as my car was overheating on the highway, not a big deal as it was just shy of 10 years old. Now two years later I am having the same issues, I brought it in, as it is doing the same thing and it again is the thermostat. It is not a faulty thermostat so, it is something that is obviously making the thermostat fail in the vehicle.

2013 jeep grand cherokee with a 3.6 litre pentastar v6 engine and 56,500 miles did not produce heat from the vents and overheated.the vehicle was towed to seaview jeep in ocean new jersey.the first two times the vehicle was towed to the dealers service department it was returned to me and the service rep stated that the overheating issue could not be replicated. After researching the issue myself and the engine overheating a third time I asked the service manager if the engine could be having an issue with exhaust gases entering the cooling system and causing the engine to overheat and if this was checked in the previous troubleshooting of the vehicle. The manager replied that a block test was not done and to return the vehicle so the test could be performed. The vehicle was kept at the dealership after the second time it was towed there from 12/22/17 - 1/16/18 and returned to me after they claimed that they flushed and filled the cooling system and ran the vehicle for several days without it overheating or losing heat. The manager did admit that there was a water swooshing sound coming from behind the dash that was unusual and claimed there was air pockets that they removed when they bled the air from the system. After the vehicle was returned to me on 1/16/18 it was driven on 1/17/18 by my wife and the no heat/overheating issue returned again. The vehicle was towed to the dealership for the third time and the block test was performed.the service manager reported to me that the engine had a cracked left cylinder head and quoted me a $2600 repair cost. I called chrysler jeep customer care at 877‑426‑5337 to file a complaint and a reduced rate for repairs was negotiated down to $500 with a case #33267278. I don't beleive I should be liable due to the manufactures defective cylinder head. The cracked cylinder head has been reported on numerous 3.6 pentastar engines.
