This 2015 jeep grand cherokee ecodiesel has an open recall for the egr system (recall w79). On december 29, 2020, the malfunction indicator light came on. I called the dealer (turnersville jeep) for an appointment on monday, january 4, 2021. The first available appointment was on tuesday, january 12 2021. This dealer kept the vehicle until friday, january 15. This dealer declined to repair the egr system under the w79 recall, but did replace all fuel injectors and the fuel tubes after finding the fuel injectors restricted. This dealer then cleared the dtc p026c-00 and performed a stationary regeneration. I picked the vehicle up at 5:15 pm on friday, january 15, 2021 and proceeded to road test the vehicle. After about 75 miles of driving, I suffered a exteme and sudden loss of power at approximately 7:30 pm; the dash indicators included the malfunction indicator lamp, an error regarding the throttle body, and an error that the oil pressure was low. As I coasted to a stop, smoke began to rapidly pour from the hood cover and began to enter the cabin through the HVAC vents. I vacated the vehicle immediately and under some duress. The smoke continued to billow from the engine area of the vehicle and I could see it continue to enter the cabin. At approximately 9:00 pm on january 15, the vehicle was delivered by flatbed to pellegrino jeep. I spoke with the pellegrino jeep service department on saturday, january 16, 2021, but they were unable to provide a commitment to examine the vehicle. I opened case #78239258 with fca (jeep) us llc customer service. As of january 20 at 11:30 am, I do not have feedback on this case. The dealer has also provided no commitment to examine the vehicle. I believe this vehicle suffered a failure due to the inability of fca and it's dealers to remediate recall w79.
2015 grand cherokee. Consumer writes in regards egr system safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle was sold with an open recall that had no available remedy. The vehicle is not being used.
I have been alerted to two (2) safety recalls which may lead to bodily harm or even death. The manufacturer states that "the remedy for this condition is not yet available". So, each time I use this vehicle, I am exposing myself and any passengers to potentially grave danger. This is unacceptable. The manufacturer must be given a finite time period to either remedy the problem or repurchase the vehicle, from the legal owner. Recalls as follows: aug 13,2020 manufacturer recall numberw58 the federal safety agency recall number20v-475 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available nov 12,2020 manufacturer recall numberw79 the federal safety agency recall number20v-699 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available

I was traveling at a 60mph speed on a highway when I noticed that my oil temp light came on and read 285 degrees in my options list yet the stationary oil temp read in the middle. I pulled over, let the engine cool, checked the oil and coolant (all fine). After 45 minutes, it cooled to about 130 degrees, so I continued on. I drove about a mile when it heated back up again, the jeep jerked, smoke started to come out of the engine, and it turned off. I luckily was able to turn into a parking lot before it died. Since I was out of state traveling and it was late in the evening, I needed to find a place to stay if my jeep would start (it did). I found a hotel 3 miles away from my location. The engine had cooled, I had opened the hood and saw no damage. I drove 35mph for the 3 miles as I watched the oil temp climb. I made it to the hotel, was parking when the cabin filled with smoke. I opened the windows, shut off the jeep and got out. I did see flames come out of the hood and something on fire fell from under the engine area. I called 911. Something in the engine compartment actually put the fire out before the fire department arrived. They still proceeded to douse the engine and disconnect the battery. I then found out there was a recall (w79) on the 2015 ecodiesel jeep grand cherokees for the (erg) exhaust gas recirculation coolers that are susceptible to thermal fatigue. This can cause the cooler to crack, allow preheated, vaporized coolant to interact with other hydrocarbons and air in the system that may lead to a vehicle fire. This recall was not scheduled to officially be released until december 31, 2020. 20 days after my jeep fire.

I have a diesel engine which has a very obvious lag in getting power to the transmission. This is getting worse and affects my ability to enter in to traffic safely.even if I have allowed for safe distance to merge into a lane I never know if my car will speed up quickly enough so as to not get hit
I am having constant valve tapping in my engine. It doesn't matter if its cold or warm, it taps continuously. I have 114,000 miles on my vehicle, but have kept up on all vehicle maintenance including the required synthetic oil changes. I still have the original brakes on my jeep, so it's not driven hard. I just don't think there should be tapping with a vehicle with this amount of mileage.
Received a recall 1 month go but the dealer cannot repair-no parts!! Recall w58 "a loss of motive power can result in a vehicle crash without prior warning" now I am frightened to drive to work but no way to get it repaired???
The firewall inside engine compartment has heat damage from excessive heat coming from engine area near turbo. It appears there may have been fire. Potential fire hazard. Dealer wants to charge me to diagnose and engine is still under warranty. I called fca customer care and they said there is nothing they can do about dealer charge never thought it is warranty item.*dt the consumer provided photos.

I got a service engine soon light. When I took it to the dealer they said it was purge valve on the evaporator system. I encounter the same problem on my 2014 dodge durango at the same mileage. I think chrysler has a systemic problem with this part of their emission system.

While in motion in highway speeds my jeep grand cherokee 2015 began to stall and suddenly turned off . The truck would not acclerate once I turned it on and I couldn't change gears. As this occured I began to lose control and nearly crashed into traffic. This is not the first incident as this has occured severaal times each resulting in near fatal collisions. I have reached out several time to the jeep dealers who have already fixed the so called problem 3 times and keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the truck.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle would not immediately start, and the start button had to be pushed several times. Additionally, the vehicle would stall while driving and backfire. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer whitten brothers chrysler located at 10701 midlothian turnpike, richmond, va 23235, who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Upon entering the city street a loud bang was heard from the hood of the vehicle and car stopped in the middle of the road. Power was in the vehicle but ability to shift in gear was gone. After turning off and back on I was able to put the jeep in drive in order to clear the road as to avoid a traffic build up. It seems the transmission is gone because the vehicle will not change into gear nor reverse. A wrecker company was contacted to bring jeep to dealer.
My 6.4 hemi had a lifter failure. It has been very well maintain oil changes every 3/5700 miles. 1000 miles ago had the oil change. As it got warmer the engine had a 'tick' noise. Took it into the dealership to find out a very common lifter issue has happen. I am shy 3 months post warranty. Team srt claimed it can be normal maintenance for the lifters to fail and wipe out the cam. They will not cover it. Google search hemi lifter issue. You'll see tons of cases.
Since the recall a year ago (spring 2019) the vehicle has a serious hesitation in the throttle response until the ecodiesel engine reaches full operating temperature. This creates a serious safety hazard. The fuel mileage has dropped a minimum of 4 mpg. I received a second notice (12/10) regarding an "approved emissions modification disclosure 3.0l diesel" the local dealer was unaware and stated it was the previous recall. I called "fca" (jeep) and was informed that this was the precurser to another recall. The only identifying numbers I have are "fc106038" and "****auto**all for aadc 030 7/1/2" marked on the notice. This is a serious problem that needs a fix of some sort. The cure for the original recall seems to be worse than the original problem. The original recall repair was performed 9/17/19.

Discovered oil leak in my garage. Dealer checked and discover both radiator leak and power steering leak. No warning indicators were illuminated. Deal requested to have it replaced because it's dangerous drive. Jeep has less than 58500 miles on it.
Heard ticking coming from engine shortly after routine oil change. Brought the car in, and was told I had to have intake & exhaust camshaft & lifters replaced. Had repaired, a week later check engine light came on. Got a p0456 code, brought it in and at this point they said I needed to replace evaporative purge valve. Did that, a week later, check engine light is on again. Nothing changed in the car when the light goes on, it just come on and stays a solid yellow upon startup
The vehicle engine had a clicking/ticking noise for well over a year. We brought this issue up with the service dept and were told it was nothing to worry about. While driving home 1 night on the highway the vehicle started to hesitate/stutter and we had a problem accelerating while driving. We drove the vehicle for 20 miles at 40 MPH with the hazards on i95. We found out from service the next day that the issue was a damaged camshaft due to a failed rocker arm. All rockers and lifters needed to be replaced along with the valve cover gaskets and intake seals. Since the issue occured out of warranty I was stuck with footing the whole 1961.49 bill even though I brought the issue up with service while under warranty.
Continual engine problem light due to egr sensor fouled. Have had it serviced numerous times. Causes acceleration issues and shifting issues. Vehicle acceleration causes a safety issue in traffic while moving and when trying to enter traffic from a stop. Was told by dealer there was a recall coming in february, but now they say they never heard of a recall. I am hesitant to travel and have the vehicle break down. I am attaching 5 of the repairs that I can find, but there have been more for the same reason, and 1 additional since I have an appt on 2/18/2020 to fix it in preparation for a trip from ny to fl.
We tried to enter hwy 65 north in mo . From a side hwy . Hwy 65 is a 4 lane hwy , 2 lanes north and 2 lanes south . We crossed the 2 south lanes and waited till we could enter the north bound lanes . When it was safe to go I stepped on the throttle and the motor stayed at idle . It put us in the middle of the 2 norh lanes and stopped . I kept pressing on the throttle until we krept accross the lanes and out of traffic coming at us at 65 MPH . This has happened several times . It has happened in town where we live in az . We also had trouble when we entered the road by our hotel . This is going to cause some one to be killed . This problem started after an emissions recall was installed . Recall / csn 1 v08 - 3.0 diesel
Engine coolant leak. Had to replace the turbo water feed tube located under the intake manifold. The tube has approximate 3" rubber line which is exposed to high temperatures and over time fails, requiring replacement. Repair cost of $1101.72. After replacing the hose and completing the repair, I still had a coolant leak. This time it appeared to be the water pump. I went to the dealer to get the purchase the pump and there was a mechanic note stating to check the water pump seals as it is known to have a pinched seal which causes leakage. To replace the seals, the mechanic has to remove the intake manifold and the covers in front of the water pump before the pump can be removed (labor intensive). Up until I had the vo8 recall I did not experience any problems. I also recently had a service def system alert. When I spoke with the mechanic he stated are you having coolant leakage and I said yes. The mechanic said it sounds like your turbo is about to fail. This is when I identified there is a vo1 recall.
Cracked cylinder #6 head.
